| How can any human enter into something with no beginning and no end? Posted: 1/28/2006 10:11:34 PM | I happened on some scriptures the other day, that seem relevant:
Romans 12:5 ...even though we are many people, we are one body in Christ and individual parts connected to each other.
1Corinthians 12:4-11 ...varieties of gifts, but the same spirit...manifestation of the spirit for the common good...
1John 1:5-7 ...God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.
Personally, I've already died and gone to heaven, found true Love/Belonging/Truth/Knowledge/God, and guess what? It's true, each one of us humans are just physical manifestations of sentient aspects of God (spirits). As we return to God, we become more and more aware of our inseparability and mergence with who we are as unlimited and all-knowing beingness. So you and I, in our essence are one and the same, God/Love/Holy Spirit. So...if people don't get too messed up about it, I Love You, because I Love Myself, I Know you, because I know myself, etc.
When I was dead, what was really cool, from my freshly human awareness, was seeing how angels, guides, and ghosts work, and that there are many physical worlds, and other worlds with other beings on them, doing the same thing. I just gotta remember why I came back... | |

| How can any human enter into something with no beginning and no end? Posted: 1/28/2006 10:30:51 PM | | Yeah, in hindsight it DID seem like a better place. Memory-loss, all part of the sluggish hard-wiring. How could we live, laugh, suffer, explore, enjoy if we KNEW it was all part of an elaborate experiment, created by ourselves, to learn something. Knowing would preclude spontaneous response, as we would realize we had ultimate choice in how we responded. Ever try to trick yourself? | |

Ever try to trick yourself? not consciously, but we all have blind spots..It would be nice to see ourselves as others see us..But even they see me only through a "glass, darkly"..Its a pity we can't partake in a Vulcan "mind meld".. | |

It’s a pity we can't partake in a Vulcan "mind meld" Innocent Bystander, I would love to try that one too. Don’t you feel some people do have this connection at least sometimes? I believe I have been somewhere else at the same time I was in a different place. It is called astro traveling. Not something that happens much these days but maybe I could develop it with the proper focus on that area of myself.
Rswindol, look at the definition of eternity. Number four refers to slang, in my opinion. Number three refers to timelessness which is defined in number 2 as without beginning or end.
Man, it will take an eternity to figure this one out.
e·ter·ni·ty
e·ter·ni·ty [? túrnitee] n 1. infinite time: time without beginning or end lost for all eternity 2. timelessness: the condition, quality, or fact of being without beginning or end 3. religion timelessness after death: a timeless state conceived as being experienced after death 4. very long time: a very long or seemingly very long period of time It will take an eternity to put it together again.
npl or e·ter·ni·ties truths said to be eternal: beliefs or ideas about life that are conceived as being timeless
[14th century. Via Old French eternite from Latin aeternitas , from aeternus (see eternal).]
Cultural Note
From Here to Eternity, a movie (1953) by director Fred Zinnemann. Based on James Jones’s 1951 novel of the same name, it depicts the lives of U.S. military personnel in Hawaii immediately prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. It is perhaps best remembered for a scene in which Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr embrace in the surf. Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1998-2004 Microsoft Corporation.

Often times, we think of time as a continuum, as linear. How about time as moments in experience? Then we are free to experience past, present, future, all at the same time. Eg. I remember when I was going to feel joy today (as in premonition, deja vu...). Doesn't make much sense unless you've experienced it. It doesn't necessarily mean that everything is predetermined, just that we are all knowing, unlimited, and then things change, and sometimes there are cycles of influence (like divine proportions, circadian rhythms, Mayan calendars...). So yeah, true free will, unlimited potential, the yin and yang of interaction and response, balance and reverberation. As we act, so are we acted upon. As above, so below.
That Vulcan mind meld WOULD come in handy, and save time too. But as you say Tim, people's minds DO meet occasionally, which is beautiful.
Yes, astral travelling is very interesting, when timing permits. Theres nothing like being elsewhere when I'm supposed to be somewhere. I wonder what full time study would reveal. | |

2. Circadian rhythms - Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night Day Night , et al.
3. Mayan calendars - Mayan Calendars | |

Posted: 2/6/2006 12:43:20 PM | Skypoetone and Late are right on in minimalizing these subjects, because they are both BIG and small. They are a few of the details observed and discussed and incorporated regarding intersections of spiritual and material reality. The world and all its beings are all physical manifestations of spirit and spiritual law. These details of life all point to our divine nature as spiritual beings. And so, any line of study can become a path, like a great mystery, as long as we keep questioning "how does this relate to..." Divine proportions you can check out upper level physics texts, a la the concept "PHI". Circadian are more well known rhythms and influences on our bodies (check out biology texts), and Mayan calendars are just that, calendars of dates, but greater than usual north american calendars, in that they have integrated concepts of circular time and repeating cycles of human experience. There is nothing new under the sun, is an apt expression.
You are so curious, Tim! | |
