I told this story to my daughter tonight as a bed time story. When I finished, she looked at me with her big, child eyes, and said: "Oh! They are like Ra!"

Couple of months ago, I went on a vacation together with her, for a week. At the evenings we used to talk a lot, while dining out at the restaurants. And at the end of that week, when we were heading back to our hotel one night, she told me: "Mom, I love to listen to the stories about Ra." I asked her why, and she replied: "Because it reminds me about the heart and love"...

Many thanks!

Usually I read fairytales from a book by HC Andersen. But ha! Wish there would be a children's book called "Tales from the Stars, or Confederation" :p

But when we were at that vacation, I told her many stories about extraterrestrials, and Confederation, and how they are here to help us, and that sometimes they talk to us in our hearts and our minds. And that some people can hear their thoughts. So I told her about Ra, and that there was one girl once who could talk their thoughts, so there are books about what Ra said. But that they are here, with us, even if they can't make themselves visible, etc. Stuff like that. =)

Quote:I AM You, that part of you who is and knows… that part of you who says I AM and is I AM…
I AM the innermost part of you that sits within, and calmly waits and watches, knowing neither time nor space…
It was I Who directed all your ways, Who inspired all your thoughts and acts…
I have been within always, deep within your heart.

The Impersonal Life, Anon

Quote:Those wise ones who see that the consciousness within themselves is the same consciousness within all conscious beings, attain eternal peace.

The Katha Upanishad

Quote:I am the infinite deep
In whom all the worlds appear to rise.
Beyond all form, forever still.
So am I

Ashtavakra Gita

Quote:When I say "I am," I do not mean a separate entity with a body as its nucleus. I mean the totality of being, the ocean of consciousness, the entire universe of all that is and knows.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Quote:This pure Mind, the source of everything,
Shines forever and on all with the brilliance of its own perfection.
But the people of the world do not awake to it,
Regarding only that which sees, hears, feels and knows as mind,
Blinded by their own sight, hearing, feeling and knowing,
They do not perceive the spectral brilliance of the source of all substance.

Huang Po

Quote:The one "I am" at the heart of all creation,
Thou art the light of life.

Shvetashvatara Upanishad

Quote:From bliss all beings are born
By bliss they are sustained
And into bliss they again return

Taittiriya Upanishad

Quote:Return to the root is called Quietness;
Quietness is called submission to Fate;
What has submitted to Fate has become part of the always-so;
To know the always-so is to be Illumined

Tao Te Ching

Quote:You are the entire universe.
You are in all, and all is in you.
Sun, moon, and stars revolve within you.

Swami Muktananda

Quote:The Universe produced phenomenally in me, is pervaded by me…
From me the world is born, in me it exists, in me it dissolves.

Ashtavakra Gita

Well, I certainly don't subscribe 100% to that theory but found it interesting.

For me a show that IMO is more about the Law of One/The Game of Life/Duality than most is the show "Lost".


What about you? What show or shows do you watch out of curiosity?

Quote:He wanted every form, for He wanted to show Himself; as a magician He appears in many forms, He masters hundreds of thousands of powers. He is those powers; those millions of powers. He is Spirit; without antecedent, without precedent, without inside, without outside; omnipresent, omniscient. Self is Spirit. That is revelation.

- Brian Hodgkinson, The Essence of Vedanta

Quote:The Self is the Spirit. This Spirit resides in the heart of every human being and is in a witness-like state. The Spirit is the projection of God Almighty, while the Kundalini is the projection of the power of God, of His desire which is the Primordial Mother, or you can call it Adi Shakti, Holy Ghost or Athena. So the Kundalini is the projection of the Holy Ghost, while the Spirit is the projection of God Almighty. The All-pervading Power of love is the power of the Primordial Mother, which creates and evolves, and does all the living work.

- Shri Mataji Nirmal Devi

Quote:Have no doubt about the fact that you are not other than the consciousness which is the Self illuminating the modifications of the mind.

- Vakyavritti of Sri Sankaracharya

Quote:"A full and durable spiritual path should, first and foremost, improve the quality of our daily lives; for as our inner life grows in clarity and purpose our relationship to our work, friends and family become fuller and more fruitful. Daily life is a faithful and thorough guide, testing and trying our spiritual progress every moment. The work is to apply the eternal wisdom to our day-to-day existence, that we can find peace in the transcendent and unchanging. Theosis is a Greek word rich in meaning. It was a term used by the desert fathers over the centuries, and more recently by the Greek-Cypriot mystic and healer, Stylianos Atteshlis, known as Daskalos. Theosis is translated as 'deification' or 'to become one with the divine'. Daskalos spoke of it as a state akin to 'enlightenment' and 'self realization'. Our gradual and inevitable entry into theosis is both the promise and the purpose that we were given in Eden; that we would 'be as gods, knowing good and evil' (cf. Gen. 3:5). Theosis is a process of the ever-increasing individuation of the self, culminating in the 'I AM I' consciousness which Jesus of Nazareth fully embodied and imbued. In the mystical Christian tradition the path to theosis is daily life (work, family and friends), through which the soul reflects itself in Creation that it may know itself in all its ways. And the vehicle for this reflection, for the awakening of the self, is the Human Form (as body, thought and emotion)."

- Paul Skorpen

Quote:Perception of failure determines your state and how you feel.
Perception of success determines your state and how you feel.
Perception of a problem determines your state and how you feel.
Perception of yourself determines your state and how you feel...
Take the same set of circumstances, and perception is the difference between someone who gets depressed about a situation and the person who gets excited about that same situation.
Change your perception and you change your destiny!
