[Adonai One]

"Physical processes alone will never completely explain the existence of the universe, life, and consciousness. Religious answers are just wishful thinking and wanton fabrication cast over a bottomless pit of ignorance. To explain their occult and mystical experiences, magicians are forced to develop models beyond the scope of materialistic or religious systems."

- Peter J. Carrol

[Horuseus]

"The gift that those high-frequency powers can give you is their intuitive knowledge of how much your physical body can stand. Too much voltage in your body at one time will burn out your circuits. It is not your diet that gets in the way; it is your belief systems that do. You have accumulated an amazing amount of blockage, crystallization, and static through your belief systems, so when the energy starts moving into you, sometimes it feels painful. Sometimes you start to shake or twitch or feel pain in different parts of your body. When you plug those higher frequencies in, you run right up against the old blockages of accumulated belief structures that act as a grid through which it is difficult for this energy to keep moving. So when you ask to be taught by these energies, they respond to you as you are ready to receive them, and you begin to make changes quietly, peacefully, and steadily. You can enhance your way by whatever you feel helps, but without this ongoing remembrance, without this constant dedication to greater awareness, very little can happen."

-- Bartholomew

"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable, and therefore, not popular."

My dark side likes to play god with my life.

Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

"...we suffer the illusion that time is something real. Time is not real, Govinda. I have realized this repeatedly. And if time is not real, then the dividing line between this world and eternity, between suffering and bliss, between good and evil, is also an illusion...The sinner is not on the way to a Buddha-like state; he is not evolving, although our thinking cannot conceive things otherwise. No, the potential Buddha already exists in the sinner; his future is already there. The potential hidden Buddha must be recognized in him, in you, in everybody. The world, Govinda, is not imperfect or slowly evolving along a long path to perfection. No, it is perfect at every moment; every sin already carries grace within it, all small children are potential old men, all sucklings have death within them, all dying people -- eternal life...During deep meditation it is possible to dispel time, to see simultaneously all the past, present and future, and then everything is good, everything is perfect, everything is Brahman. Therefore, it seems to me that everything that exists is good -- death as well as life, sin as well as holiness, wisdom as well as folly. Everything is necessary,..." ~from Siddhartha, by Hermann Hesse

[AnthroHeart]

TS, I liked that part "all dying people -- eternal life". I am hoping to not have to come back. There are many lessons one can learn on the other side. I finished reading Dancing on a Stamp about the other side, and it was a very rewarding experience. What got me most was that on the other side, everything happens at once. There is only the now. So we can spend an eternity on the other side. I'd love to be a guide for my guide if he/she decides to incarnate in the future. But sometimes I've felt like my guide is not there, and I've lost faith. Other times I just trust. I've never seen my guide, nor heard them speak, but I do get intuitive feelings. Perhaps this is my inspirational quote. I no longer desire to create and manage a Universe or a Star, but to be in a state of perpetual bliss and rest. Surprisingly today I have lots of energy. I have a positive outlook on life. Looking at my avatar gives me hope. I think it's the right fit for me. Hopefully my words resonate with others out there.

This song inspired me today.

One thing I learned from Dancing on a Stamp was that this life is but a blink compared to the other side. So it tells me that we spend much more time over there. Possibly our life review takes much time. If we live 40 years for instance, it might seem like it takes over 40 years to review it all. I'm not sure since we are much more capable over there. We could probably review all 40 years in a year equivalent or less. I don't know. But I think I could spend a century or two over there. Though time is illusion and does not exist over there so time measures are meaningless. But still I think one could count to ten on the other side and have an illusion of time passing.

He also said that if you were playing catch with someone with a baseball, as soon as you threw the ball it would immediately appear in the other person's glove. There would be no intermediate time for the ball to fly through the "air". I could say it would take some getting used to, but I have a feeling I'll be very familiar with it when I'm over there. I think I've had 100's of lives. So chances are I probably will decide to incarnate again.

The book also says we can incarnate on any planet in the Universe. There are different dimensions and different beings we can incarnate into. We might not have always picked human.

Thanks for your caring about me TS. It means a lot.

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe' —a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." ~Albert Einstein

In the movie Powder, he says that most people feel separated from all else. That was a touching statement, and so true.

Lindsey Kelloway: What are people like, on the inside?
Powder: Inside most people there's a feeling of being separate, separated from everything.
Linsey: And?
Powder: And they're not. They're part of absolutely everyone, and everything.

Nice quote there TS. The movie had me tearing up a few times. I just got the tv set up in the living room a few days ago, and have been watching movies.

"We do not ask for what useful purpose the birds do sing, for song is their pleasure since they were created for singing. Similarly, we ought not to ask why the human mind troubles to fathom the secrets of the heavens. The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment." ~Johannes Kepler

[AnthroHeart]

I like your quote TS. There are mysteries which my mind does not plumb.

On the other side I wonder if you are omniscient, all knowing or not. I think not, but I've heard otherwise.

If we know all on the other side, then we come here to experience.
If we don't know all on the other side, then we come here to learn.

I've never figured out if we're here to experience or to learn.
