Well, you sure do seem to have had more than the average person's experience of your body getting banged up and then healing much faster than typical. Also your innate nature seems to be the quality of life that Zeno and the ancient Stoics aspired to reach: free of negative emotions, but also without the happiness part.
Quote:I began to think i was like Chris Lambert in those Highlander movies, except I didn't carry a sword and didn't lop peoples heads off.
Oh good, that should make it much safer if we ever get to meet in person. I'm also not a sword-wielding ancient, as far as I know.
Quote:Unclear? What do you mean? You are being unclear...
Let me see if I can untangle the mess I made of the fire safety comment. I was thinking of a safety inspector, such as a fire marshal, who uses their mind to reduce hazardous situations through observation and recommendations. I was not thinking of physically demanding rescue work such as a fireman's job.
If this still doesn't make sense then we should probably let it go as an unsuitable analogy. Sometimes I get tangled up and trip in layers of verbiage. When this happens and the point is not an essential one, it's often best for me to give up and just discuss something else.
Quote:Quote:Do you have any recall of dreams?Yes, and vivid dreams at that, every night since I have begun to work on my Pineal.
May I ask what's involved in that work?
Quote:I only do it because it is right, and that is logical to me.
I'd like to make sure I understand where you are coming from with this explanation. Using your mind, it makes sense to be helpful to other people. Using your mind, you understand that you probably have a spirit and that your spirit also benefits as you are of service.
Using your mind, you realize that other people have a lot to say and express about emotions. But if you have emotions, you can't locate them, other than disappointment, anger and frustration at whatever Higher Self got you into an emotionless life. Since you don't know of having emotions, you can't actually imagine or predict whether those emotions would also feel compassion or would feel something else. There raises a reasonable question: if you could feel emotions, would they relate to your thought processes or have some agenda of their own?
Quote:It is funny (not haha), the only thing which the mind cannot do is make the heart work properly. Where's the logic in that?
They're two different forces. It's like saying that no matter how fast you drive your car around town, that doesn't make your kitchen stove at home run any hotter.
Quote:asking questions of other enlightened ones seems to me to be a logical step in the right direction.
Be aware I aspire to enlightenment but don't think I should be described as an enlighted one. Others here may well be.
