RE: What Is the Essence of Mind? - Oceania - 03-15-2012

i'd say humans are dumb. why build all this stuff when we could just poop in nature. basically people think they need to have a lot of junk. they could thrive in nature. just buid some mud huts and poo where you want. eat some berries.

The mind would have to be underlying everything, inside/outside of our awareness. What they call "god".

I know that people get confused thinking that thoughts are the mind. Thinking is just a running program.

So you have your own definition of mind, and your own similes. Do you not see what I am saying? That no matter what, you are ' running a program ' when you come up with this stuff.

We are just like animals. Somehow we have an ability to use more information concurrently. This ability is what creates all this junk. This ability is what causes us to incessantly think there is more out there.

yeah well. i want to poo in the woods and build a mud house. but i can appreciate and create art. all densities have their own coolness.

The issue is, when you live so 'naturally', do you care about whether or not you impose on those around you?

If you are only concerned with yourself, than you will defecate wherever you please, even in my back yard.

If you care about others, humanity as a whole, than you can be among those who strive to live in a cleaner, more hospitable environment where we try to clean up after ourselves for our brother's sake.

yeah cuz that's what i said. i will poo in anyone's yard. Tongue

you think pooing in the woods in the middle of nowhere is somehow a bad thing? if you didn't know, poo returns to the earth. you think building huge buildings with modern facilities that do things we could do in unison with Gaia, is better? do we need refridgerators and electric ovens? do we need all this modern stuff? no. do we need to respect Gaia? yes.

do i poo in the woods? no. but i might. i hope you don't consider the world your back yard.

Replace all the times I used the word, 'you' with the word 'one' instead. I was speaking in general, not about you specifically. Sorry.

I agree with you that technology has its downsides and I have a total respect for Gaia. My point is that we must try to make sure that we do not impose on others when we take the world into our own hands. Often our backyards can become very close to each other. We must be considerate of our neighbors in all that we do.

I hope you are able to understand Oceania.




RE: What Is the Essence of Mind? - Oceania - 03-15-2012

well i wasn't thinking of people losing all sense. i want to be closer to nature.
of course we should respect our neighbours. i was talking about living alone in a jungle.

Well post some signs around your property for me will you. I certainly do not want to go strolling though your back yard without a good set of rubber boots on and a few large cans of Lysol.

Quote: 1.0 ....You are not part of a material universe. You are part of a thought. You are dancing in a ballroom in which there is no material. You are dancing thoughts. You move your body, your mind, and your spirit in somewhat eccentric patterns for you have not completely grasped the concept that you are part of the original thought....

Quote:1.6 ...In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things. You are not speaking of similar or somewhat like entities or things. You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.

Quote:Firstly, you must understand that the distinction between yourself and others is not visible to us. We do not consider that a separation exists between the consciousness-raising efforts of the distortion which you project as a personality and the distortion which you project as an other personality. Thus, to learn [discover] is the same as to teach [demonstrate] unless you are not teaching [demonstrating] what you are learning [discovering]; in which case you have done you/they [your distortions] little or no good. This understanding should be pondered by your mind/body/spirit complex as it is a distortion which plays a part in your experiences at this nexus.

To turn to the second part of our response may we state our understanding, limited though it is.

Group-individuated consciousness is that state of sharing understanding with the other distortions of mind/body/spirit complexes, which are within the evident reach of the mind/body/spirit complex individual or group. Thus, we are speaking to you and accepting both our distortions and your own in order to enunciate the laws of creation, more especially the Law of One. We are not available to many of your peoples, for this is not an easily understood way of communication or type of philosophy. However, our very being is hopefully a poignant example of both the necessity and the near-hopelessness of attempting to teach.[demonstrate]

You are dancing thoughts.

This distortion ... is chosen by each of you
You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation.

My husband and I have some "raw" land in SE Oklahoma, and since there are no other facilities there, I have pee'd and pood in the woods many times! You have to watch out for stickers & poision ivy, though!

What an excellent video you have shared with us! I would encourage all of my brothers and sisters at bring4th to take time to watch this woman's story through to the end of it, which isn't quite as long as the ticker indicates - I think it says the vid is 20 some minutes but the main story only takes about 15.

Just absolutely beautiful!

RE: What Is the Essence of Mind? - sillypumpkins - 02-14-2021

wooooaah thanks for bumping this bosphorus. JustLikeYou's insight in the OP is good food for thought (hehe)

the idea of mind being the creator and the body being creation is interesting to me. where does spirit fit into all that? would it be both?

in hermeticism, it is said that "the All is Mind", and that the universe is a mental creation

hahaha, I am reminded of my difficulty in viewing "sexuality" from a higher perspective, and I can see now that the concept of "mind" is another thing I having difficulty grasp.

I'll just be throwing that in my stew up in my noggin.... let that cook for a while. i'll check back in if i find anything to add

Yes! Everything you look at is mental this is the illusion. It is not material or solid but we must work with the Laws of this Logos. Which is to work with the illusion to master the Game. There is a special portion of our current mind that says, "this is Real!" Work with that as you cannot put your hand through a wall, can you? Not without breaking your hand...lol!

Ra states that you are the Creator. Well, because you are an expression of This Universal All-Seeing Mind, some call it God. If we could always remember this, the Choice becomes easy because you are here to live, experience, and find yourself, your true self; then align with that. Each choice you make assists you in getter closer to knowing who and what you truly are.
Pay close attention to each choice that seems to have some sort of significant importance or an emotional charge to it because these experiences always contain information for us to discern.
Each trial and tribulation contains information about the Truth of who you really are. This is NOT an easy journey for a 3rd density human to be fully awakened (and perhaps we will not be fully this is not the goal) but, if this is what you are seeking to do, now is the time.
***the spirit is in 6th density*** bring that portion into closer contact with your personality now, the human personality. That's all I will say about that you can figure the rest out.
Life is a riddle with secret passageways and chutes and ladders lol.
