2002.04.22 - Being Foolish

[AnthroHeart]

Super post. I doubt there's anything more crucial than what is contained here.
Oh how I feel you on the throwing up comment, so I offer my apologies as I ask this question regarding this passage:

"...Indeed, each of you came
specifically to be thrown off balance, to be confused,
to be puzzled, even to be in distress and to suffer.
For you knew before incarnation that the great
opportunity that one has only within the illusion is
that it cannot be seen or proven that spirit exists,
much less that it is a transcendent state which, in
fact, doubles the illusion..."

Can anyone explain this last part? I'm reading the 'it' as 'the fact that we cannot prove the spirit exists' - which suggests that entering into this thought 'doubles the illusion'.
What does doubling the illusion mean?

I think that doubling the illusion means there is more confusion.
If indeed one day we transcend out of this illusion, that makes it moreso an illusion because we will go out of it.

There are extremely reaffirming, soothing and empowering words.

The many opportunities afforded in this illusion are excellent tools and stepping stones for growth. There is no actual, genuine, scientifically verifiable, empirical proof that within us is a spirit and we shall ascend and evolve into Higher Being. There is personal proof and other experiences of the mystical variety which allude to such a thing and observations one can make in their own reality, but the brunt of it is that a very huge portion of this is faith. We have indicators which allude to the truth of the divine, but for many people adhering to these things is largely an act of faith (unless you hold first-hand direct experience, then it is knowledge).

Thus why incarnating here is such an exciting gamble. When we are unaware that the person before us is as much Creator as you are, and you perform any act of kindness or compassion, you're really sharing love with the Creator. It is aware of this through its many eyes, and knows how to act accordingly. The Creator is always 100 steps ahead of us, so it may accommodate us with whatever we are ready to face.

Thanks for this excellent find, GW.

For me, the experience of spirit at times goes beyond faith because I have real experiences. Like when I am reading spiritual works, or focused on my vibration, I can feel a lot of heat being generated within me.

When I tune into the Earth, I feel more harmony and positivity than I did a year ago. Doesn't feel nearly as heavy. I'm starting to get my energy sensitivity back after being out of it for the last 6 months.
