And Diana, do you think asking Jeremy that question shows that I hold a belief (that 3D is to learn lessons of love) , and have I boxed myself into too much of a Ra Material frame of mind ... if I don’t have a belief about anything , then how do I even observe anything? How do I even exist if I don’t believe I exist ?

What I said was in response to Jeremy's remarks and not in reference to you.

You don't have to believe you exist. You simply do exist. You can proceed from there.

Having to believe it is something that may satisfy the mind, but now you believe you exist. So you exist, but what if you exist in more than one place? What if you exist and don't exist at the same time? (The possibilities are ad infinitum.) You have now limited your apprehension of your existence because you believe something specific—you exist. It's another form of lableing, which, like linear time, is useful when needed but otherwise discardable.

Without beliefs, you can look at a flower, and see much more than what you might believe that flower to be. Belief comes with conditions, in order to define itself. Without your belief the flower may still exist—the flower may have manifested itself from the implicated universe, and you may choose to interact with it. We are not alone in the vastness of existence, and yet in some ways we are—or so it seems—and the paradoxical nature of 3D duality continually reveals itself as such to our veiled selves.

We as humans just can't help wanting the mind to be satisfied. But it never will be because the 3D mind only knows 3D. It's still delicious to philosophize, stretch our minds, and push the boundaries of mind. But when it comes to functioning here, keeping away from beliefs keeps possibilities iopen. It is far better (for me) to have working theories only, and when new information comes in, the theory can change or I can just toss it without any attachment to it (which belief would have). In a nutshell it is analogous to being proactive, where you don't spend any time wondering why something happened—you just proceed from where you are at and now make the best choices about that.

The thought of existing elsewhere is one I don’t have often, but I have had before that it is possible, so you have beautifully reminded me that even to question daily existence as I experience it is necessary ... I write down my dreams all of the time but I almost always forget to contemplate the possibilities that they are actual events which could be occurring in an alternate reality.

I remember when I was “awake” for a time , and I remembered to remind myself with every single thought that came to mind that no matter what conclusion I reached about said thought, I just had to love it.

I understand you were speaking to Jeremy’s thought, but I’m glad I questioned your statement because it was quite absolute (don’t have beliefs) ... and your reply is very thought provoking
