HOST LFST Heart:    Hello all

HOST LFST RB3000:            Good evening, Viet Nam!  (oops, er, I mean, "dear friends"

HOST LFST RB3000:            As soon as everyone is quite ready, we have a wonderful topic

HOST LFST RB3000:            next hour for our class on "Ecstatic Awareness" 

RochelleDo:      oh goody

HOST LFST Heart:    Tonight is our 17th class in Ecstatic

HOST LFST Heart:    Awareness: "The expansion of the Moment

HOST LFST Heart:    into its ecstatic components. " we have semi-

HOST LFST Heart:    protocol

Stingraybiker:    ok I'm ready to learn      teach from the heart not mind

HOST LFST RB3000:            Stingraybiker, tonight's class is oriented toward the link

HOST LFST RB3000:            between the Mind and the Feelings.

DCizunas:         Was thinking of that just today 3K, when our church has classes every comes, we all learn so much.

HOST LFST Heart:    <~~~bearing my heart for Sting

HOST LFST RB3000:            Welcome, everyone

HOST LFST RB3000:            Is anyone unclear about what the term "ecstatic" might mean

HOST LFST RB3000:            in connection with "awareness"?

Zamurito:          Clear as mud 3k

Stingraybiker:    I

tingraybiker:      Highly energised?

HOST LFST RB3000:            The point is that we take almost everything for granted-- we

HOST LFST RB3000:            basically see and experience only what we were conditioned

HOST LFST RB3000:            to perceive, for the most part, n'est-ce pas?

RochelleDo:      for the most part

HOST LFST RB3000:            That is, we have all been societally conditioned, even if we rebel against it.

HOST LFST RB3000:            Furthermore, we apply very little energy toward our perceiving and cognating.

HOST LFST RB3000:            Think of the difference between a magnifying glass and a

HOST LFST RB3000:            space-orbiting gamma-ray telescope..

HOST LFST RB3000:            With tremendously more intent, energy and effort, we are

HOST LFST RB3000:            then able to discern extremely subtle phenomena.

HOST LFST RB3000:            The same, I claim, applies to us personally, do you see?

HOST LFST RB3000:            Stingraybiker, does that more or less answer your question?

RochelleDo:      I see.

Stingraybiker:    Let me get my glasses

HOST LFST RB3000:            Nobody seriously claims that gamma rays don't exist and

HOST LFST RB3000:            can't exist, simply because it takes power and sophistication

HOST LFST RB3000:            to perceive them, right?

Stingraybiker:    What is the point?

HOST LFST RB3000:            By analogy, I am offering that there are worlds beyond

HOST LFST RB3000:            comprehension or imagination if we train our attention to

HOST LFST RB3000:            perceive in new ways.

Stingraybiker:    Agreed

RochelleDo:      yes, 3K

HOST LFST RB3000:            Ok, friends, let's begin tonight's class: "The expansion of the

HOST LFST RB3000:            Moment into its ecstatic components." This is not intended to

HOST LFST RB3000:            make rational, common sense, any more than it was rational

HOST LFST RB3000:            to believe the Earth was round, 600 years ago.

HOST LFST RB3000:            Standing where we stood, without instruments and with

HOST LFST RB3000:            hidebound mediaeval church authority telling us what could

HOST LFST RB3000:            be true, and what could not, the Earth had to be flat, and the

HOST LFST RB3000:            heavens had to be some sort of bowl going around it.

HOST LFST RB3000:            .

HOST LFST RB3000:            Today we are faced with a paradigm shift at least as radical as

HOST LFST RB3000:            a "round-earth-off-to-the-side-of-the-universe."

HOST LFST RB3000:            The first component of this "new" paradigm (except that it has

HOST LFST RB3000:            been described in mystical literature for thousands of years!)

HOST LFST RB3000:            is that the "duration" of some "real" universe, outside of time,

HOST LFST RB3000:            is but a single Moment.

HOST LFST RB3000:            .

HOST LFST RB3000:            Most religions and mythologies teach about deities and divine

HOST LFST RB3000:            realms, and also dark or nether realms, as having time frames

HOST LFST RB3000:            different from our convention of sequences, before-and-after,

HOST LFST RB3000:            cause-and-effect, "the knowledge of good & evil," etc.

HOST LFST RB3000:            They refer to the laws of these other realms or continua as

HOST LFST RB3000:            "the eternal", "the Miraculous", "the waters" or other

HOST LFST RB3000:            mystifying metaphors.

HOST LFST RB3000:            .

HOST LFST RB3000:            And now, even our priests of science are becoming

HOST LFST RB3000:            confounded by the nature of the universe as they peer closer

HOST LFST RB3000:            into the froth of the subatomic world, or farther into the

HOST LFST RB3000:            relativistic maw of the monstrous Power which has spewed us

HOST LFST RB3000:            into existence.

HOST LFST RB3000:            Particles can no longer be required to contain any matter, nor

HOST LFST RB3000:            can their interactions be certain of obeying the forward

HOST LFST RB3000:            direction of time nor separation over empty space.

HOST LFST RB3000:            .

HOST LFST RB3000:            So now, my friends, let us here confront the mysterious notion

HOST LFST RB3000:            of a universe now-and-forever-at-the-very-moment-of-its-

HOST LFST RB3000:            inception, here-and-everywhere-as-one-and-the-same-place

HOST LFST RB3000:            which, as non-intuitive as it sounds, succeeds in explaining

HOST LFST RB3000:            matters where conventional science must keep adding "laws"

HOST LFST RB3000:            and dimensions and devices to try to flatten the

HOST LFST RB3000:            Noumenon/Eschaton into something they can analyze and cut

HOST LFST RB3000:            up into "components."

Stingraybiker:    Karma seems to be some strange mistery to humanity

RochelleDo:      What could be more miraculous than this moment ?

Rebspirit1:        Rochelle..agree.

Rebspirit1:        Why complicate the simple with all sorts of adjectives and adverbs

RochelleDo:      it is required for some

Stingraybiker:    karma?

HOST LFST RB3000:            I have my own answer to these questions, if you would like.

Stingraybiker:    see I sense the truth

RochelleDo:      3k yes

Rebspirit1:        Sting..maybe we all have our own truth and one is as good as the other

RochelleDo:      same with the various tarot decks

HOST LFST RB3000:            I will be explaining this more tonight, and in the coming

HOST LFST RB3000:            weeks, but I'll say a bit about it here...

HOST LFST RB3000:            First of all, "this moment" is not a simple thing at all-- it is

HOST LFST RB3000:            filled with everything that everyone has every brought to this

HOST LFST RB3000:            moment.  ...

RochelleDo:      can it not be simple?

HOST LFST RB3000:            ... Life functions are always going on, the planets and stars

HOST LFST RB3000:            are always interacting, radiating, exploding, swirling...

Rebspirit1:        LFST...beg to differ. The moment is all we have. Therefore, it is quite simple

RochelleDo:      this moment does best in simplicity, no?

Rebspirit1:        Wing...agree with you...a bit of confusion for me too

Herbdeva:         this moment contains the center of your universe if life is eternal

HOST LFST RB3000:            Rebspirit, well, if you are interested, stick around for the next

HOST LFST RB3000:            hour and see if something in this intrigues you. 

Stingraybiker:    DEAR HOST Does meditation consume or eradicate karma?

Rebspirit1:        3000...This does intrigue me.

RochelleDo:      but I am intrigued by the topic, so what 3000 says is

RochelleDo:      good to read

HOST LFST RB3000:            Stingraybiker, I actually don't believe in karma, so I don't have an opinion.

Herbdeva:         neither sting, but it can make you aware of it

Mimishuff:        the only constant in any moment is change regardless of the year

Herbdeva:         karma is you reap what you sow, every action has an equal opposite

HOST LFST RB3000:            Stingraybiker, but I will say that whatever way that you quiet

HOST LFST RB3000:            your mind is essential for the task I am presenting here.

JacobJG:            the "worst" human can skate, the "best" human can be consumed... no karma

RochelleDo:      But, 3K, does that mean its just energy without balance?

Stingraybiker:    You don't believe in the law of actiion vs reaction, dear teacher?

HOST LFST RB3000:            RochelleDo, doesn't it *always* find balance, no matter what?

Herbdeva:         worst and best are subjective

RochelleDo:      ah, there you have valid point

Rebspirit1:        Sting...that is the law of cause and effect and functions differently

JacobJG:            HERB, that's why I put them in quotes...

JacobJG:            my point is that there is no "reward" or "hell"

Herbdeva:         isnt' balance other way of saying karma

JacobJG:            no "punishment" that comes to those who abuse others

Rebspirit1:        Sting..in the moment we can change the world forever by our choices. .then reap the law

Herbdeva:         too true jacob

JacobJG:            thanks herb

Rebspirit1:        Mimi...soul is soul....

Stingraybiker:    I hoght NEW-AGE meant understanding the LAW OF KARMA

Herbdeva:         explain ecstatic components??

HOST LFST RB3000:            Stingraybiker, not necessarily, I guess.

Herbdeva:         new age is living with each truth with no judgement from others

JacobJG:            herb, as humans, we judge as naturally as breathing, I think impossible not to

HOST LFST RB3000:            Herbdeva, that is exactly what I am about to do.

HOST LFST RB3000:            ***** All right, friends -- those are all wonderful thoughts

HOST LFST RB3000:            you've brought up. Now let us delve into the second half of

HOST LFST RB3000:            tonight's presentation: "Ecstatic Components of the Moment" -

HOST LFST RB3000:            - what on earth could those be? 

HOST LFST RB3000:            .

HOST LFST RB3000:            In order for this part of the discussion to really make "sense",

HOST LFST RB3000:            I'll need you to have been doing the exercises we've been

HOST LFST RB3000:            talking about, for maybe 20 or 30 years. Short of that we can

HOST LFST RB3000:            at least take a look at what you're likely to find.

Rebspirit1:        I have been doing spiritual exercises since 74..think that qualifies me

HOST LFST RB3000:            .

HOST LFST RB3000:            The first thing we'll need to understand is how infinite

HOST LFST RB3000:            universes emanate from a single-pointed moment,

HOST LFST RB3000:            holographically; that is, something that has no extension

HOST LFST RB3000:            whatsoever suddenly impulses 15 billion years of history and

HOST LFST RB3000:            15 billion light-years of "space."

HOST LFST RB3000:            Of course, it UNimpulses right back to "neverwas" in the same

HOST LFST RB3000:            moment. (There, that wasn't so hard, was it? 

HOST LFST RB3000:            .

HOST LFST RB3000:            By the way, this "explains" how the Eschaton can be sitting at

HOST LFST RB3000:            both ends of history at the same "time," simultaneously

HOST LFST RB3000:            emanating and reabsorbing all creation.  But it would be fair to

HOST LFST RB3000:            ask, "What does that have to do with me, with my

HOST LFST RB3000:            possibilities?"

HOST LFST RB3000:            .

Log Count:   There were 15 member(s) in The New Age at 08:00 PM

HOST LFST RB3000:            There are several "answers" to that, on different levels. One is

HOST LFST RB3000:            that there is only one single Consciousness period.  So if you

HOST LFST RB3000:            are conscious, you're <IT>!  Now here's the kicker:

HOST LFST RB3000:            Everything that you have experienced and can experience in

HOST LFST RB3000:            this universe is exactly a momentary fixation of the one

HOST LFST RB3000:            Consciousness.  That is, you (or I) and your whole reality are

HOST LFST RB3000:            a bubble of "sticking" of awareness.

HOST LFST RB3000:            .

HOST LFST RB3000:            A crucial corollary of this point is that, if you can become

HOST LFST RB3000:            aware of your Awareness, you can deliberately "stick" any

HOST LFST RB3000:            reality, any possible or impossible universe. 

HOST LFST RB3000:            Actually, it turns out that you DO, unconsciously, but most of

HOST LFST RB3000:            these lack enough inherent integrity and consistency to

HOST LFST RB3000:            persist long enough for your local consciousness to take into

HOST LFST RB3000:            account, like dreams at night that evaporate upon your

HOST LFST RB3000:            awakening.

HOST LFST RB3000:            .

HOST LFST RB3000:            (For example, "this" reality is just such a sticking point

HOST LFST RB3000:            The topper of this idea is that, once you have developed an

HOST LFST RB3000:            exquisitely keen and steady attention through protracted

HOST LFST RB3000:            efforts and discipline, you may find that you can actually

HOST LFST RB3000:            freeze the frames of any of these expansions, not just

HOST LFST RB3000:            visually,

HOST LFST RB3000:            but on all channels, holistically. Then you can realize all that

HOST LFST RB3000:            bundles of "decisions" of attention with which you have

HOST LFST RB3000:            assembled each feature of your reality.

HOST LFST RB3000:            .

JacobJG:            nicely said, Barry

HOST LFST RB3000:            These cognitions are utterly extraordinary, though -- for a

HOST LFST RB3000:            long time, they last for only the merest flash at a time, in

HOST LFST RB3000:            states of grace -- ecstatic moments of grace, in which

HOST LFST RB3000:            everything you are is suddenly connected up, and you

HOST LFST RB3000:            remember all the moments of your life in which you realize

HOST LFST RB3000:            this simultaneously.  And then you forget again.

HOST LFST RB3000:            **** The floor is back open for discussion. I know this is kind

HOST LFST RB3000:            of heavy, so take your time to scroll up and contemplate.  I'd

HOST LFST RB3000:            especially like to hear what kinds of flashes you have had, and

HOST LFST RB3000:            what led you to them, and how they changed your life.  Go

HOST LFST RB3000:            right ahead now please. ........

JacobJG:            what's an Eschaton?

RochelleDo:      we each be part of the hologram?

RochelleDo:      that makes us one

RochelleDo:      so here we are

RochelleDo:      but how could it be otherwise?

RochelleDo:      you forget to relearn, no?

JacobJG:            Like Michael Jordan, being in the ZONE

Herbdeva:         I've been reading metaphysics for 30 years and still don't know what your talking about

RochelleDo:      to know it all means we have nothing more to learn?

JacobJG:            herb, really? it fits well with Conversations with God and such...

HOST LFST RB3000:            Herbdeva, does that help a little, about "ecstatic components"?

RochelleDo:      hence, relearning

JacobJG:            it all comes back to us being God's way of keeping from being bored with eternity and

JacobJG:            infinity

Herbdeva:         i'm humbly sorry to say but no

JacobJG:            that's the bottom line of all of this

Herbdeva:         what the bottom line,

Herbdeva:         lol

HOST LFST RB3000:            Herbdeva, in a minute, I'll share some of the books that have

HOST LFST RB3000:            helped me, and maybe you could share some of what you've

HOST LFST RB3000:            been reading...?

JacobJG:            <in N.Y. accent.>.. I got your bottom line... RIGHT HERE!!  <G>

HOST LFST RB3000:            JacobJG, I think you may be right.

ExplrngLfe:       LFST the question now is where are you at this moment ?

JacobJG:            thanks, 3K, but how do I not be locked into inactivity by that realization?

HOST LFST RB3000:            ExplrngLfe, depends on how you're asking, I guess.  "In a

HOST LFST RB3000:            body", "on a chair", in "Los Angeles",...

JacobJG:            3K, to me, it seems like nothing is worth doing if this is all a cosmic farce....

HOST LFST RB3000:            JacobJG, I find I am locked into wonderment by that realization.

RochelleDo:      but, it is worth doing for all those questing answers or

RochelleDo:      direction....

RochelleDo:      we are here to share, too

JacobJG:            3K, and I'm locked into despair...

ExplrngLfe:       LFST no on your journey if you're on one . What's happening for you ?

Insink22:           IMAGIN  a state of mind you could go into where you would simple have total recall of all the dreams you ever dreamed

HOST LFST RB3000:            RochelleDo, I'm a solipsist, so I really do everything just for "myself" 

JacobJG:            herb, no forgiveness needed for that

JacobJG:            <g>

Herbdeva:         I can recall past lives and existances on other planets and planes is that what you mean

HOST LFST RB3000:            Insink, that is exactly what I am working toward, and I am making some progress finally

RochelleDo:      3K  that be fine but you choose a Host name, that means

RochelleDo:      you share

Insink22:           :::smile:::

HOST LFST RB3000:            RochelleDo, make you wonder, doesn't it? 

Insink22:           a differant track

RochelleDo:      we can not get there too quickly

Insink22:           life in the "dream " lane

Insink22:           to quick and you go insane

RochelleDo:      we may wish we could

Althy1:              I am wondering if anyone has had experiences of visualizing something so intensely that it a

Althy1:              actually manifests itself

RochelleDo:      if we are ready

HOST LFST RB3000:            (For further reading on tonight's topic, I recommend "The

HOST LFST RB3000:            Dancing Wu Li Masters" by Gary Zukav, "The Tao of Physics"

HOST LFST RB3000:            by Fritjof Capra, "A New Model of the Universe" and "In Search

HOST LFST RB3000:            of the Miraculous" by P.D. Ouspensky, "Star Wave" by Fred

HOST LFST RB3000:            Alan Wolf, and "The Whole Shebang" by another physicist.)

Herbdeva:         I have, but what this ecstatic stuff

Insink22:           yes if you are ready to go insane

HOST LFST RB3000:            (Carlos Castaneda's "Tales of Power", "The Fire from Within"

HOST LFST RB3000:            and "Art of Dreaming" are also tremendously helpful in

HOST LFST RB3000:            working with these ideas. George Gamov's "1-2-3 Infinity"

HOST LFST RB3000:            may be out of print, but is one of the books that got me

HOST LFST RB3000:            started forty years ago. Take a look at Carl Sagan's "Contact"

HOST LFST RB3000:            also -- the book form has some ideas that didn't come through

HOST LFST RB3000:            clearly in the movie.)

Drpatcrawford:            RD...be careful what you wish for...:)))

Grazhopprr:      sheesh, to quote mag,,,,gave up reading for this very reason

Althy1:              Please explain the ecstatic realm

RochelleDo:      I am not wishing tonight

HOST LFST RB3000:            Herbdeva, what have you?

Herbdeva:         someone asked if dreamed something then manifested it

Althy1:              that was me

Wingsoligh:       Why not just keep it simple That's  so everyone can understand

Insink22:           ::: retreating into dream world now:::

HOST LFST RB3000:            Althy, I'll say a little here, but I invite you to check out the

HOST LFST RB3000:            previous sixteen logs of this class in New Age Library II, as

HOST LFST RB3000:            well...

Herbdeva:         is ecstatic realm a plane or state of consciousness or level of develped awareness?

Insink22:           many go into this state like a trip through disney land   with no plan

Althy1:              I am interested in the idea of  visualizing something and it actually manifesting

Insink22:           drugs and rock and roll

Insink22:           they fly high

Insink22:           and come down

HOST LFST RB3000:            ... This is a 25-week attempt to say a little about the ecstatic

HOST LFST RB3000:            realms, or rather, the awareness necessary to perceive them.

Herbdeva:         insink to experience what give us example

Drpatcrawford:            Yes, IS22 and some of us know from experience and scientific data

Drpatcrawford:            THAT NOT ALL THE RIDES ARE THAT SAFE??!!

Insink22:           we are in a forest and can't see the forest for the trees

HOST LFST RB3000:            Herbdeva, all of those, and not really.  It is ambiguous from

HOST LFST RB3000:            our perspective, because it takes place in more dimensions

HOST LFST RB3000:            than we are accustomed to, see?

Insink22:           to shift   high    we see the valley 200 miles away

JanetGilum:       you do not believe that maybe it might be up to the realms to take us there

Herbdeva:         althy be careful what you envision -- you are responsible for it

Insink22:           what does this help in the forest?

RochelleDo:      I see

Herbdeva:         like being aware of 5 bodies at once

Althy1:              Only peaceful things, herbdeva

HOST LFST RB3000:            JanetGilum, yes, to a very great extent, I do believe that,

HOST LFST RB3000:            because here we don't have the kind of power, energy and

HOST LFST RB3000:            focus to push ourselves there.

Insink22:           they can take you there....  but where is there?

Herbdeva:         janet I don't like that up to the realms up to you

HOST LFST RB3000:            Herbdeva, sort of like that, I think.

Grazhopprr:      3k-- push ourselves where?

Insink22:           to see the forest in bits

Herbdeva:         why lfst?

HOST LFST RB3000:            Grazhopprr, into perception or assemblage of ecstatic realms.

Drpatcrawford:            And just because they build the rides does not, in my opinion means we do not have free will

Insink22:           the forest that is around us

RochelleDo:      we must not depend on the realms

Grazhopprr:      3k, why don't we have the power?

ExplrngLfe:       LSFT lets Focus now and get to where ever you want to get to..

RochelleDo:      realms

Herbdeva:         question?? what the purpose??

Log Count:   There were 23 member(s) in The New Age at 08:15 PM

RochelleDo:      to grow

Insink22:           it is good to see the valley 200 miles away so you know there is more

RochelleDo:      the purpose

StarBorn22:       are we talking about realms??

Insink22:           if you can believe it

Insink22:           realms yes

Herbdeva:         is realms planes or levels of awareness or both??

RochelleDo:      are we not all here for growth?

Temshaa:          Star,,who can tel right now..lol

Insink22:           worlds

Grazhopprr:      herb, both

Insink22:           many worlds

HOST LFST RB3000:            Grazhopprr, because we have spent our lives scattering what

HOST LFST RB3000:            we were given, and wasting our energy on trivia and

HOST LFST RB3000:            posturing, for the most part.

StarBorn22:       I'm pretty good in the cleaning of the house realm

Insink22:           all the life on the planet may be in their own worlds

RochelleDo:      or scattering seed?

Insink22:           very different than ours

Grazhopprr:      3k, but that doesn't mean we haven't got the power, just that we have other plans

HOST LFST RB3000:            ... We waste huge amounts of what we need on *image*, for example.

Herbdeva:         this could sound like trivia also if not the proper perspective

RochelleDo:      we waste nothing if it is part of growth

Temshaa:          What we need??? What does that mean??

HOST LFST RB3000:            Grazhopprr, if we *HAD* real plans, that would be power right there.

StarBorn22:       what do you mean IMAGE?

HOST LFST RB3000:            Temshaa, what we need in order to assemble ecstatic realms.

Insink22:           growth is fine  but do we have unlimited amounts of time

RochelleDo:      If we bellieve we waste, we feel guilty

Temshaa:          That's a blanket statement, isn't it .RB??

Grazhopprr:      3k, humans are here to be human, blind of their power.  it's a choice, not a prison

StarBorn22:       we are trying to create ecstatic realms?

HOST LFST RB3000:            Insink, what would you like to do with your limited time?  I've

HOST LFST RB3000:            always know what I had to do, since childhood.

Temshaa:          If this is prison...I love it...

RochelleDo:      I will not choose prison

Insink22:           guilt is moot   liberation is everything

Insink22:           love it all you want

RochelleDo:      this moment is freedom

HOST LFST RB3000:            Grazhopprr, yes, but it becomes a prison once we rescind the old choices, no?

Temshaa:          What I dont finish now..I'll finish later..whats the rush?

Herbdeva:         I love life too, but there is more

HOST LFST RB3000:            Insink, totally agree.

JanetGilum:       it is our choice but also the realms choice to where it takes us and where we go

Insink22:           this moment can lead to true freedom

Grazhopprr:      3k, it is never a prison at any time. that is always a choice.

Herbdeva:         that your choice tem

HOST LFST RB3000:            Temshaa, when would that be?

RochelleDo:      if we choose that, 3K, I guess it is a required choice, no?

JanetGilum:       it is only a prison if we choose to make it one

Temshaa:          Who knows??!!  Does it matter RB???

HOST LFST RB3000:            Grazhopprr, again, you are correct.  I use the "prison" idea to keep myself moving.

Insink22:           it may matter much!!!

Grazhopprr:      there is no grand poobah to throw you back here for payment of something owed

Temshaa:          Matters if you wish

Grazhopprr:      3k,,,,then do others the favor of not reflecting your limits on them.

HOST LFST RB3000:            Insink, that is my very point I've been attempting to make.

Temshaa:          It all comes out in the wash...one way  or another

HOST LFST RB3000:            (Two weeks from now (we're skipping next week) our subject

HOST LFST RB3000:            will be: "The nature of the Divine, and how we connect to

HOST LFST RB3000:            <it>."  Please continue whatever daily practices you are doing

HOST LFST RB3000:            -- we'll be using everything that results from them.)

Insink22:           if one believe they are immortal then they don't see the need

ExplrngLfe:       LFST  Why use any idea to keep yourself moving ..??

RochelleDo:      Kinda good, the Growth process

Drpatcrawford:            InSink22, the need for?

Insink22:           any idea   like death?

Herbdeva:         or insink they do see the need, it becomes more important

HOST LFST RB3000:            ExplrngLfe, please explain your question..

RochelleDo:      it suits us

Insink22:           it is important!!!

Grazhopprr:      everyone moves at their own pace, time spent doing things cannot be regulated by another

Insink22:           infinity is a quest of importance

Insink22:           and the path you take to it

RochelleDo:      to think too much is not good on some topics

ExplrngLfe:       LSFT if you have an idea your moving ,,where is it you think your moving to ?

StarBorn22:       I agree rochelle

RochelleDo:      some are just to be allowed

Insink22:           infinity!!!

Insink22:           moving to infinity

Drpatcrawford:            Experience vs "mind," "intellect," right IS22?

Insink22:           you think it is a "givin"

HOST LFST RB3000:            ExplrngLfe, well not to some "place", but to a far more

HOST LFST RB3000:            encompassing and fulfilling perspective.

RochelleDo:      within is the only place

Insink22:           within without

Insink22:           same

RochelleDo:      words are too inadequate

ExplrngLfe:       LSFT Why do you feel your not at that prospective ,,Why is it you seem to put it at a distance?

DCizunas:         If we aren't moving, we are stagnating and falling behind because everything else is progressing

Drpatcrawford:            I agree, ROD

Insink22:           it is far and it is near

Herbdeva:         still need something concrete from this discussion.

Simmarah:         DC  That is goal  change  hopefully towards higher consciousness

RochelleDo:      dont Expect it, Herb

DCizunas:         Exactly Simm

HOST LFST RB3000:            (The exercises we have been doing are stopping the internal

HOST LFST RB3000:            dialogue; listening, tasting and feeling on deep, synaesthesic

HOST LFST RB3000:            levels; dream and trance work; chanting and sacred dance;

HOST LFST RB3000:            mystical rituals; and consistent meditations of different kinds.)

Mimishuff:        well seth along time ago...said all things are happening at all times simultaneously

RochelleDo:      cant beat Meditation

Mimishuff:        therefore how can you ever be behind, in front or whatever...only present

Insink22:           you can be present in another world

Mimishuff:        chaos is created when man tries to control spirit...

Wingsoligh:        Yes What meditation is a spiritual movement Yes it is spiritual growth

Insink22:           we are dusking off the link to spirit

Mimishuff:        divine intervention is seen as chaos because it is not what we think spirit should be

Drpatcrawford:            Yes, IS22 and some may have more aptitude than others...some more committed to the discipline

Drpatcrawford:            of the learning, we are all at various stages, tho, yes?

Herbdeva:         aptitude does not equal altitude

Mimishuff:        exactly pat...

Simmarah:         We are the Dreamers  We are the dream......

Drpatcrawford:            And you seem to me pretty evolved, that can be frustrating...

Wingsoligh:        chaos is when man tries to control nature

Drpatcrawford:            Nicely put, IS22...:)))

Insink22:           we are the stuff of which dreams are made of

Simmarah:         Insink  ye  we are the dream

Mimishuff:        chaos is what is created when man tries to control spirit. .it's as if we think if we

Mimishuff:        meditate we will rid our lives of chaos...of change...when in fact change IS the only constant

Drpatcrawford:            OK, OK, so don't let us off the hook...:))

Herbdeva:         dreams don't put food on the table for the babies

Stingraybiker:    dreams are us.com

Drpatcrawford:            Hmmm, Herb, they can help....

Insink22:           we want freedom and freedom is reaching the energy body

Drpatcrawford:            What we are doing here employs millions and a view decades ago

Mimishuff:        gotta dream it before u can be it

Simmarah:         MIMI  meditation clears the mind thus cleansing A Significant change

Drpatcrawford:            was the dream of a maladjusted 14 yr old named Bill Gates!:))

Herbdeva:         i agree craw, but have the need to be grounded

Drpatcrawford:            A few decades...

Mimishuff:        the key is to be calm amid chaos...chaos doesn't go away...only our reaction to it changes

Drpatcrawford:            Of course, Herb...

Log Count:   There were 23 member(s) in The New Age at 08:30 PM

Mimishuff:        agrees with pat...without a dream many inventions would not exist

Insink22:           there is a big picture here  are we missing it

JanetGilum:       seems to me that there might or should be a common ground between ecstatic realms and what

JanetGilum:       goes on in here

Insink22:           infinity is the BIG  picture

JanetGilum:       like the many different kinds of religious views coming togethere

Herbdeva:         that my point janet

Drpatcrawford:            we are trying our best to, but you are refusing to let us off the hook...thank you...:))

Insink22:           only the energy body can cross the bridge
