Comfort

…and who isn’t some of the time. :razz:

Any subtle feeling you experience… It’s not invalid. Treat it as natural and a real part of the world, and you will not go insane.

You can change reality mearly by correctly directing peoples focus.

Consider this notion should reflect your truth. There is only heaven. When death comes to anyone, to some it comes as an angel of mercy. Release from a life well lived and properly ended. For others, death comes as the avatar of a life squandered. A horrific demon off to drag them away from the chance they blew.

Life is lived in moments.

Contemplating god/the gods is an excellent practice. It structures our perception of our narrower lives in a useful way. Even if your highest principle is an abstract notion, it serves the same purpose.

Truth is beauty, and beauty truth. I have forever gazed upon beauty and am thus moved to engage its dark shadow.

The great dharma wheel is nothing more complex than that. The big mystery in life is that there is no mystery.

All things have a negative side. Every light casts a shadow. One can feel that they don’t entertain a thought, but you can’t avoid entertaining negatives. They are an inherent part of the equation that allows you to arrive at positives.

Life is first the step you take, and then the ground you tread upon.

Synthesis is an interesting experience. I enjoy tasting blue.

This attempt to see mind from a biological point of view is weak at best.

What you think, you do. What you do, you experience. What you experience, you feel. Be conscious of that cycle and you can know freedom.

Post-modernism let’s us laugh at the sinister takeover of the planet. The infinite regress keeps your doubts certain and your ideas unsure. If you have a good idea, it might be a post-post-modern one and not a pre-post-modern one. Who knows. Test the waters.

Not feeling resistant to where I am brings peace.

Live your life. I said live it! Live it, or I will give you a dirty look I swear…as everyone wanders off ignoring the crazy person.

You can’t trust another till you trust yourself, because if you don’t trust yourself then how do you know who’s trustworthy?

You can’t get there from here. Remember wherever you go there you are, and there is no enemy anywhere.

Science started with the uncensored motive to understand, and they called it magic.

I will say I worship nothing, and yet I love a lot more. Love is very simple. There is a process of affinity. A natural sense of connectedness to life and those we encounter. It varies a lot and we can deliberately engage it.

Do you remember what it was like before you were born? No? That’s the point. We are forever aborning. Each moment a new incarnation, and in each moment the original conviction is arrived at again. Yet for all our convictions we are still constantly aborning.

It would be much more honest to say, ‘See you yesterday.’ For most, it’s what they see.

Freedom is more than choice. It’s awareness of choice, but awareness of choice is not true, actualized freedom without vision. So what vision do you have for your freedom?

You can learn from good things. It requires a different skill set maybe. Today’s culture doesn’t teach us. It teaches us to solve problems. To look for issues and “fix” that.

The source, the one life is no one being. It isn’t the property of some cranky old man off in space.

The spirit of a city, of a state, of a nation, of the world, all very simple. The world sings if you listen.

We keep getting the same stuff because we keep thinking the same stuff. Each new cell bears the same convictions. Each magnetic impulse carries the same messages.

God is very real in our hearts and minds, and in our actions in the world, and regrettably god is insane.

From the stillness all things arise in their perfected forms. What causes things to degrade is an accumulated static. Noise kills.

A weight can be a lightening of existence. Chains can be freedom. The prisoner knows what freedom is clearly.

There is plenty of violence for all the anti-violence, which is just more violence.

We have survived as long as we have not for our normal humans. They tend to function sort of like deer caught in headlights. They just stand confused or just keep doing what they are doing. We have survived because some of our kind had natural traits so strong they couldn’t conform to our unnatural ideas and prejudices.

Your tensions are memories. All of them whether intense or more subtle are even potentially scars. Scars are not flexible, but for every tension, especially chronic tensions, there are memories.

The question in life is not “What is my purpose?” That question just makes us look really silly. The biggest question in life is “Are we having fun yet?

There is much truth behind jokes. The joke of the divine trickster is that he’s serious.

Reality as it was defined is coming unglued. I am not afraid of that, exhilarated.

Will matters and your will is free.

I think therefore I think. I think too much. Egad! I can’t stop thinking.

Not having what you want won’t make you saintly. If you’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t, you might as well go ahead.

Are you a dog being wagged by its tail? Most are.

What evil would arise in sex if people just accepted it? What evil would arise in exotic senses of self if they were just accepted? What harm?

The only power is what comes from the heart.

We are not what we do, but what we do does in many ways stem from what we are.

Hurting can be healing and if the center of the person is whole, then all it is is healing.

There is only freedom without, when there is freedom within.

There is truth to find. Just because the path isn’t straight doesn’t mean there is no destination. Truth is hidden in plain sight. Finding is still an act we do.

We have a root too, my friend. The mandala of the soul has a center.

The system of ‘should’ doesn’t seem to have anyone who’s knowingly in charge. It’s sort of like a mental virus. Choice is power. Should is force and static.

So now what? Is only ever now and now is perfectly what it is.

There is a coherence beyond neural linkage. Something that persists beyond brain damage. That knows an ‘I’ without defining ‘I’. It is the bit which is left when chat stops in meditation. That is the true self.

Truth is a reality checking process in the mind. It can operate in a healthy fashion, or get twisted, or can just be totally eschewed for a strictly relativistic artifice that excuses any stance as just what’s in fad of the mental moment.

Enlightened self-interest is wisdom. Everything has a cost and you will have to pay in one way or another. If you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t, I feel it’s better to do what you will and accept the consequences.

Meditation can be an invaluable guide in seeing and allowing informed choices about your life’s manifestation.

Will matters and your will is free.

There are no coincidences. The line of cause and affect may be very abstract, but it is there.

The great prophets were described as madmen.

The Gnostics were right, to know yourself is to know the divine.

Absolutist thinking is a vicious falsehood, creates only confusion.

Energy follows two identifiable patterns, action and rest and we don’t get to choose to exclude one.

Mindlessness isn’t tantric, aimlessness isn’t tantric, but pain and pleasure, bliss and void, these are tantric.

Reality as it was defined is coming unglued. I am not afraid of that, exhilarated.

The future is an ever shifting pageant of shadow puppets that darken as light shines more directly on them.

In every practice you find a shadow. But purity is not reviling any part of life.

Counter culture becomes mainstream when the norm is toxic and society looses its center. Eventually not being recognizable in its original form.

There is a coherence beyond neural linkage. Something that persists beyond brain damage. That knows an ‘I’ without defining ‘I’. It is the bit which is left when chat stops in meditation. That is the true self.

Normal comprehension is normative thought. It’s a virtual reality at best.

Shamanic trance is just a more primal method of the “scientific” method.

Scientology was based on many of the old teachings and its creator admits to this in his own writing. He just sought to refine it. Make it more intelligible and accessible.

How does saving people work? And if you can save people from themselves isn’t that tyranny?

So now what? Is only ever now and now is perfectly what it is.

Smiles start diplomacy. Conflict resolution without blood shed. Gallons and gallons of too much blood shed and it wasn’t from passion. Was actually very cold. Indoctrinated passion…unnatural.

Warriors and soldiers are passionate? But that is merely focus. They are controlled and they are driven. They believe, but this is not passion. Passion sort of excludes belief.

To dismiss something because it seems obvious has been the source of many grievous errors even in the most concrete disciplines.

You’re never bored when you play your own game. You’re bored when you play another’s game.

We do have a need to give love as well as receive it.

Subjectivity and objectivity form two facets of a body of experience provided by a web of energy potential and actualized. That has characteristics independent of the individual observer.

Identification of form. Form arises from spirit. Not spirit from form.

My prize is in seeing.

Heat. Calories are a measure of heat energy. Entropy is also referred to as heat death. From death renewed life, and from life’s process slow death. Where really is the separation?

The slayer who thinks he slays is slain.

Consider this notion should reflect your truth. There is only heaven. When death comes to anyone, to some it comes as an angel of mercy. Release from a life well lived and properly ended. For others, death comes as the avatar of a life squandered. A horrific demon off to drag them away from the chance they blew.

You can learn from good things. It requires a different skill set maybe. Today’s culture doesn’t teach us. It teaches us to solve problems. To look for issues and “fix” that.

Really it’s the children who can educate us. We can support what they know. These ‘wild’ children. Those who seem so different and out of touch with consensus. They are really more in touch with reality. The consensus has created stresses that force minds to let go.

The source, the one life is no one being. It isn’t the property of some cranky old man off in space.

Science started with the uncensored motive to understand, and they called it magic.

What you think, you do. What you do, you experience. What you experience, you feel. Be conscious of that cycle and you can know freedom.

The great dharma wheel is nothing more complex than that. The big mystery in life is that there is no mystery.

Where a place doesn’t arise from nature it can arise from spiritual principle, though it is a rare thing.

Death. We part, but we do not part. The energy of our bonds endures.

The spirit of a city, of a state, of a nation, of the world, all very simple. The world sings if you listen.

A weight can be a lightening of existence. Chains can be freedom. The prisoner knows what freedom is clearly.

I feel in truth is liberation, freedom, and there is a whole tapestry of truth.

There is only freedom without, when there is freedom within.

Walls don’t always block. They can funnel, intensifying the flow of the river.

I talk a lot does it make me a fool? I am saying silence by itself isn’t wisdom. A man of few words can just be dull.

Time has been very expansive, and consciousness came well before humanity.

We live our ideas.

Thoughts come from people, people don’t come from thoughts.

When your imagination and your thought are in conflict, your imagination will inevitably win.

Want to be great? Want to be a marvellous success? Be willing to be an utter failure, and realize that neither is you. You are powerful beyond measure. Fearing making mistakes is also fearing miracles.

If there is any reality then you are real, and your choices are based on you.

Simple truth, there is no such thing as absolute change. In any change that occurs in your life something always endures.

The power of souls is beyond any artifice. We are made from and by it, and we rise or fall in part by that power in others.

Thought creates. All creation is revelation.

Perception is internal, regardless of it seeming to have no causative connection. People try manifesting but change a surface thought and not any element of their world view. Then the world view snaps back in, and they say manifestation isn’t possible.

All things have a negative side. Every light casts a shadow. One can feel that they don’t entertain a thought, but you can’t avoid entertaining negatives. They are an inherent part of the equation that allows you to arrive at positives.

We don’t find freedom by knowing fear inside and out. We merely find that we can be free and hop back in the hole most times. People are in love with the devil they know.

The way of control is in the way of the controlled. The concept of control is what prevents control. It implies something must be controlled.

The way of thought is the way of definition. A focusing of the minds eye to see details better. People mistake control for artifice, though artifice inevitably fails.

“It’s a luxury to be understood.” Ralph Waldo Emerson. A mission to understand. Know thyself.

You need never predict. Any future is now. What happens next is originating now with our choices and everyone else’s also. And we choose based on what’s on our minds.

Change is subatomic. I break your nucleic bond and smile. Change is minute. There are no big changes. Never anything big. Just a bunch of small things we eventually notice.

Death is the great equalizer, and all change is heat death, a.k.a. entropy.

Death is an illusion. Every atom in your body is immortal. After is illusory. After is an afterthought when you weren’t otherwise paying attention. “Don’t be afraid.” “You die now.” Living death? Better than the alternative. I would rather live death than die my life. I died yesterday and the day before. I never felt so alive.

It would be much more honest to say, ‘See you yesterday.’ For most, it’s what they see.

You can’t get there from here. Remember wherever you go there you are, and there is no enemy anywhere.

Live your life. I said live it! Live it, or I will give you a dirty look I swear…as everyone wanders off ignoring the crazy person.

Not feeling resistant to where I am brings peace.

I will say I worship nothing, and yet I love a lot more. Love is very simple. There is a process of affinity. A natural sense of connectedness to life and those we encounter. It varies a lot and we can deliberately engage it.

Feel the need to engage more? Look and be moved. It will happen.

There is truth to find. Just because the path isn’t straight doesn’t mean there is no destination. Truth is hidden in plain sight. Finding is still an act we do.

Synthesis is an interesting experience. I enjoy tasting blue.

Perhaps all the moralism, and all the self sanctified enlightenment is in its way the biggest fuel for the evils they themselves deride?

Food, sex, wealth, these are the things of the devil? So why do all our righteous leaders have them?

God is very real in our hearts and minds, and in our actions in the world, and regrettably god is insane.

We always make a decision. I type these words and you will decide what they mean to you. It doesn’t have to be deliberate. We are conditioned if we aren’t instead mindful. It will happen one way or another.

Truth is a reality checking process in the mind. It can operate in a healthy fashion, or get twisted, or can just be totally eschewed for a strictly relativistic artifice that excuses any stance as just what’s in fad of the mental moment.

Mind works whether we want it to or not, or is it lobotomies for all? Shall we sit in the vapid silence of not knowing anything? Or maybe move with the rhythm of the entirety of our being, evil mind and all.

Did the hippy revolution change anything? We still hear the same old meaningless rhetoric. There are ‘the power of now’ thumpers. They just switched the book.

Do you remember what it was like before you were born? No? That’s the point. We are forever aborning. Each moment a new incarnation, and in each moment the original conviction is arrived at again. Yet for all our convictions we are still constantly aborning.

We keep getting the same stuff because we keep thinking the same stuff. Each new cell bears the same convictions. Each magnetic impulse carries the same messages.

Not two souls but many souls are bound on the spirit, and they commune when in spirit. We are infinite beings and are not defined or definable by a single bond.

There is much truth behind jokes. The joke of the divine trickster is that he’s serious.

It is good to be all in one place, many people rarely are.

Challenges are simply challenges and choices are simply choices. They cannot possibly be good or bad. Whether they are good or bad depends on how we view it afterwards.

Life seems to deal in a quantum way, in whole units.

In the age of naming, all facets of the name were understood. The speaking brought the essence to form.

Bravery is not a virtue, it’s a decision.

There is the capacity to focus awareness, which is focusing energy, which is shaping creation.

There isn’t a war. There is no war in spirit. There are those who are the agents of spirits wrath, and those who are the supporters of spirits peace, and they are not divided.

This attempt to see mind from a biological point of view is weak at best.

Words aren’t evil, though fixation can be a source of pain.

People call illusion reality, and refute the real as illusion.

The rebel is a slave. You can breath deeply and declare yourself free. You are just watching another dance.

We have a root too, my friend. The mandala of the soul has a center.

Even people who may seem inert aren’t. They have to act to avoid action, though usually that is not conducive to growth or productivity.

Truth is beauty, and beauty truth. I have forever gazed upon beauty and am thus moved to engage its dark shadow.

The body has the way. The mind loses the way.

New age thinking is based on grossly misinterpreted ancient thinking. If I’m following a trail and it goes off a cliff, I’m not going to jump off.

Fascination is revelation of the new without triggering a fear response.

The trick is you think you were tricked. There is no deceit only paths to truth.

Truth is divinity.

Where’s the fire? Deep inside, as is the way of the dragon.

Well, I really think the egg came first. Divinity was laughing so hard at the idea of creating this reality, it laid one.

I think therefore I think. I think too much. Egad! I can’t stop thinking.

Truth is Spirit and Spirit Truth. Be Spirited.

Relativity is inherently the denial of realism. It denies shared experience.

What loneliness stems from is an error in the development of a sense of identity.

There is a mechanism behind sex. A way and process. A purpose. The taboo notion arises from the limited shallow view of it.

Everyone has a belief system, even if it’s shunning what they identify as belief systems.

There is plenty of violence for all the anti-violence, which is just more violence.

The alienation of sudden death tends to warp the mind of the recently departed. The desire for the life they lost is heartbreaking, maddening even.

Atheists often make a god of humanistic ideals, and in their zeal perpetuate the same crimes they attribute to faith.

The best searching will be done alone even in a marketplace of teachers, because they can’t sell you your own soul. When you see your own path clearly, then you see life differently.

Death is no violation of life. We experience little deaths all through life. Death feeds life, and life death, because they aren’t really separate.

What evil would arise in sex if people just accepted it? What evil would arise in exotic senses of self if they were just accepted? What harm?

If it has to change we want a say in it, we want control but people are unfit for control.

Are you a dog being wagged by its tail? Most are.

Remember! Your not officially crazy untill you go…
BLITALITALITALITALITALITA!!!!!!!!!
It’s good to remember.

Absolute truth speaks in silence, and none can fail to heed it’s voice.

Life is too short for doubt. Whatever you doubt you either really want to do it, or you don’t. So do or don’t, and move on I say.

Most of peoples impulses are right.

I don’t put much stock and feelings in what you ‘should’ feel. According to those who say what I should feel, I should be a mass murderer, but I’m not.

You can’t trust another till you trust yourself, because if you don’t trust yourself then how do you know who’s trustworthy?

Empty can be good. I like space in myself, breathing room.

Awareness comes out in action, word, deed, logos. Everything is language. Listening to that inner voice.

Inner voice = the prime mover. Also inner voice = prima materia = first matter. It’s a part of the bigger order and doesn’t focus on human whim. I do what the voices tell me.

Evil intent differs from evil essence, and it is even addressed in the Bible. There is a poorly understood scripture, but it speaks against “fighting” evil people. If you fight them, it confines you to reacting to them.

Meditation is intimacy with self. You are stopping and opening your awarness to “death” in the moment.

Want to change your life? Change your mind.

The system of ‘should’ doesn’t seem to have anyone who’s knowingly in charge. It’s sort of like a mental virus. Choice is power. Should is force and static.

People can be induced into a tightly contained solipsistic delusion rather easily. Basically they believe their memories are real. There is a difference between creating your reality and creating your “think-ality”.

Not having what you want won’t make you saintly. If you’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t, you might as well go ahead.

We are not free of darker feelings and views just because we espouse a spiritual view or lifestyle.

Spirituality is life. Any part of life you are in.

When you stop taking things so seriously then you start seeing them clearly.

All problems have there origin in the individual, and there perpetuation in communication. What you can do is see your individual part, and see to how it’s propagated.

Vanity arises when you believe beauty is a moral or social virtue. True virtue needs no classification.

Freedom is more than choice. It’s awareness of choice, but awareness of choice is not true, actualized freedom without vision. So what vision do you have for your freedom?

If you are feeling lonely, it’s because you don’t feel present as what you are, or accepted for what you are.

Life is first the step you take, and then the ground you tread upon.

The only power is what comes from the heart.

Sometimes, even when we have power, we shouldn’t express it. Other times when we are powerless in the face of the worlds spinning, we should add our force to its momentum.

A day consists of not only new tasks, but of new thoughts and perceptions.

You can change reality mearly by correctly directing peoples focus.

Divination is creative revelation.

The wise have one foot in insanity, and the sane have one foot in the grave.

Any subtle feeling you experience… It’s not invalid. Treat it as natural and a real part of the world, and you will not go insane.

You gain more power when you see both the “spirit/symbol” and the literal meaning of anything in your life. Use both, and your actions and intentions will be doubly effective.

Life is an unsolved riddle only to the degree that you haven’t yet realized yourself to be the answer.

You can nuture the spirit behind any circumstance and like anything nurtured it grows closer to you. It creates more events of its kind.

Imagine is to choose one’s state of being, and luck is when this preparation meets one of the countless opportunities that arise in life.

If everything seems meaningless, then you’re way off center.

What are you putting your attention on? That’s your intent.

If you believe you exist because of what you do, then every moment you are unrealized.

Feeling you have to do what you can’t, prevents you from doing what you can.

When a condition is at the stage of thought, you can change your mind. When it’s become a feeling, it impresses the environment, and when it’s become an action, you are then stuck with the consequences.

The question in life is not “What is my purpose?” That question just makes us look really silly. The biggest question in life is “Are we having fun yet?

We have survived as long as we have not for our normal humans. They tend to function sort of like deer caught in headlights. They just stand confused or just keep doing what they are doing. We have survived because some of our kind had natural traits so strong they couldn’t conform to our unnatural ideas and prejudices.

Nothing in your head is formless. Nothing in your head is without “words”. Is why in psycho-analysis they use word association, but it can be sounds or even body language. Just has to be language.

You can revere the heros of our history who otherwise often lead sordid lives and will avoid any loss of faith because you are seeing the truth. The sacred is here in this life that you may have judged profane.

Hurting can be healing and if the center of the person is whole, then all it is is healing.

To affirm life is to respect its cycles. You can offer no disrespect to the departed by living vibrantly.

Evil is characterized by opposition. So opposition breeds more of itself.

The act of speaking to spirits doesnt change the spirits. It changes you. Act as if you were they, and you will have their power.

One reaches romantic maturity when they have accepted their “opposite” side and instead of looking for their opposite, they look for the truely “other”.

I don’t feel that people hurt because they are unenlightened. I feel they are unenlightened because they do not hurt.

Your focus determines your reality. A rational focus creates a sterile world.

Any experience you have that does not bring you peace, you failed to accept. To the degree you feel removed from a peaceful state, you have a list of rejections.

You can’t convince yourself your dreams are meaningless and have meaning in your waking experience.

The consensus reality is the lie.

Sadness isn’t itself a virtue. You know your heart best when it breaks, and you can come to see, that though you feel grief, your heart isn’t actually “broken”.

Truth is transcendent and we each have our own truths.

Life is lived in moments.

Your heart is the real truth. Your eye is the beauty which it beholds, and your purpose is contained in all that your being embraces and holds in awe.

I will offer that there is no mystery in human behavior, just the schism between light and darkness that we create. All behavior arises from the same life force whether we judge the outcome as good or bad.

Unity is about embracing the reality of who you are and letting that serve as the center of your whole life.

Your tensions are memories. All of them whether intense or more subtle are even potentially scars. Scars are not flexible, but for every tension, especially chronic tensions, there are memories.

We are, each of us, worthy. Equally worthy. We all exist because nature wanted a “you”.

Your inner life is your outer life. Your second life is your first life. Your fantasies are your reality.

To the degree that you defer to the wisdom of this life that brought someone so amazing as you into being, accept that you are meant to be, and feel, and have desires, and take actions according to the dictates of your heart.

There is truth in the world. There is a way in the world. As Sting said, “There is a deeper way than this.” And it is expressed in stillness.

To the degree that any way becomes an object, it ceases to have any truth. Because truth is life and life truth, and we live still in still moments.

There is stillness in the world and there is stillness in the mind. They echo each other. The observer and the observed.

From the stillness all things arise in their perfected forms. What causes things to degrade is an accumulated static. Noise kills.

Look within and look around. You are not lost.

Hi, low and in between also. You should always greet people however they approach you. I think we should greet people with the word “Sideways”, it’s much more dynamic.

Your literal reality is part of the math that’s being done. You are the value that the universe is trying to get a sum for.

If you wonder why and what it all means, you have a spiritual life.

Actual freedom is not seperation from anything, but rather the recognition of the meaning in the walls that surround you.

We are a unique voice in a grand chorus, having a depth and range that is powerful enough to echo throughout infinity itself.

Every moment empty of your presence is a moment made sterile and fallow.

The world is not a machine, You can’t fix it. You can only scar it or let it heal and grow.

Before progress, you just lived your life. After progress, you’ll just live your life.

Contemplating god/the gods is an excellent practice. It structures our perception of our narrower lives in a useful way. Even if your highest principle is an abstract notion, it serves the same purpose.

We are not what we do, but what we do does in many ways stem from what we are.

In my experience, reason neither enables nor supports empathy or social justice.

In the fight for social justice, society and justice are lost.

Life looks like a path made of doors, until you realize that you don’t even have to enter the prison in the first place.

Post-modernism let’s us laugh at the sinister takeover of the planet. The infinite regress keeps your doubts certain and your ideas unsure. If you have a good idea, it might be a post-post-modern one and not a pre-post-modern one. Who knows. Test the waters.

      We have free will, but it is like a dog on a leash we are free to a certain degree.Our physical bodies get too hot we die or too cold and we die. Our minds and spirits have more freedom, but there seem to be limits too.

      Merge with the pure consciousness and leave all limits behind……….

    God has given us all free will. He showed us this in the Garden of Eden when Eve and Adam chose to disobey Him. This free will act of disobedience led to spiritual death for them and all of their descendents. God than gave us a way to be once again made alive spiritually. He gave His Son Jesus Christ – who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, suffered punishment on the cross, died and rose again. It is our free will to make a decision to turn from our sin and trust Him as our personal Savior. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No person comes to God the Father except through Him. Read the Gospel of John.

      In the bible god says ‘there is no freewill, only my will doesn’t he?

      “The Bible teaches that there is no free will. Examining Exodus, Ecclesiastes 7, Ephesians 1, Ephesians 2, Acts 13, Romans 8, Roman 9, 2 Timothy, 2 Thessalonians, Titus 3:4-5 and Revelations, we see that God’s plan overrides our free will; those that do good do the specific good that God predestined them to do, and all others are ruled by Satan because God sends “powerful delusions” to them. The Christian Bible frequently states that God creates our future and decides our fates, no matter what our own will is. It constantly denies that we have free will. Some of the foremost Christians in history have taught that there is no free will, including St. Augustine (one of the four great founders of Western Christianity1), Martin Luther (founder of Protestantism) and John Calvin.”

    We are already there, we are enlightened, we are blessed, we just have to awaken to the fact.

      enlightened are always aware and awakened for their all actions, if not, they are enjoying illusion of an enlightened and it is enough to remain happy until truth is faced.to be awakened itself is an enlightenment prear to any thought and action.

    Seeking means to have a goal; but finding means to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal. Perhaps we are seekers, but in striving towards our goals, we do not see whats under our noses, which unintentionally makes one appear to be a lazy seeker..Oh to walk in someone elses shoes and feel the thorn that is ever so slowly working its way into the sole.

    Hi Travis,
    This is more of a question about an individual’s world view.
    Can you comment on the idea that an individual no matter their age, projects their world view even into out of body experiences.
    I have read many OBE’S and i wonder if you could comment on the idea that what the individual sees in their encounters will be dictated by their worldview???

      The answer is yes with qualifications. What they see in their encounters is not dictated exclusively by their individual worldview. What people think of as their world view is typically narrow. People think it is just an idea and that is not true. One’s worldview consists of everything they are connected to.

      One inherits deeper perceptions from their family blood line, from their cultural ancestory and from their environmental contact. A caucasian person in Japan is still going to see Japanese things, but they’re not going to see it as clearly as a Japanese.

      Language is not only a contstruct in the human brain. The artefacts of language also manifest in the astral with the attendant relationships, and this is true for anyone who is a master of language at any age. Music manifests on that level defining the relationship between constructs in an emotional context. Things with which they have rapport will also manifest in their experience. So if they have a rapport with cats, then aspects of the cat worldview will show up in their experience.

      The vividness of what they see is determined by the depth of their connections. It is unlikely that anyone will see what is not in this broadly defined worldview.

    There is no freedom in the self. It is all trapped in desires, fears and other emotional messes. The ego is a bundle of past thoughts. there is no freedom to it whatsoever. Spiritual freedom awakens in you the moment you are devoid of the idea of having a self.
