Considering what apparently happened to him ... methinks the above is a typo .. the top word should be 'Unseen' .

I cant find the 'remember Apech' button And I had no idea he had lost it . And why should it be up to us to help him reattach it ? .. I just don't get this new technology !

You lucky duck ! All this talk of watching lame TV shows . And you all are supposed to be spiritual types and meditators ??? HA ! what a joke ! It's about time I ..... wait ! What is the time ? Yikes ! .... I be back in half an hour ......

Well, you are a bit clearly now ... I was supposing you were talking about identifying spiritual masters ... not random 'entity encounters' in meditation .

What happened to the original God ? Wait, I know .... he got ' the chop' ! File:Cronus-and-uranus-french-c-1501.jpg - Wikimedia Commons

A DAO, or Decentralized Autonomous Organization, is a type of online organization built on blockchain technology that operates without a central authority. Instead, it's governed by a community of members who collectively make decisions through a transparent, rule-based system encoded in smart contracts.

'Belief' is fraught with the dangers I outlined above .

There are tests but they are different for different traditions . If one doesn't know what they are and does 'choose' I don't think it would be based on guess work but probably subtle conditioning and hopes and ideals . So here is a danger of moving towards something we are unconsciously attracted to .... perhaps in a good way or perhaps in an adverse way . Will a 'master' support or challenge my 'inner convictions' might be a question the unconscious poses . The unconscious ego might reject a teacher that it feels threatened by and thinks the teacher might expose it . Or a glimmer of 'pre-enlightment ' or super-conscious might lead you to the teacher that is just what you need to evolve at the present time ... although outwardly seeming not to be suitable . I am assuming 'testing for mastery' is about finding a teacher ... otherwise why do it ? The thing is, I feel , if you are 'on the path' and have 'some work behind you ' ( through this or past incarnations ) it will all 'unfold' for you . The 'right ' teacher should appear ... either to help you or 'teach you harsh lessons ' . of the second type I would say ; there is no need to learn all the harsh lessons and lessons of failure yourself ... a lot of that can be done by observing others .

I don't see why not . Its an age old tradition with many benefits . It Isnt the same as 'going walkabout' though . But even if there is no spiritual connection , it can be an amazing experience ... my friends son walked from the top of Turkey to Egypt ( in the past and in much more settled times ..... he was ex-military though - very fit and resourceful ) .

and the worst part is , I have to explain why ! ...... God evolved on the Earth as a formally mortal species and then created the world and life ?

It all comes out in the wash .

Ahhh , now it all comes together

Well, I like 'Marv ' ....

I see ....... verrrrrrry interesting .

Bring back the pit !

.... " You been readin' yer 'fancy word book ' again ? " Me; " Do you mean the dictionary ? " " There you go again ! "

Experiment ; set up a tight skin ( drum, tambourine , etc ) some fine grit on it ... now chant ( vibrate ) some Sanskrit syllables on it ... or even a long drawn out OM ( AAA UUU OOO MMMM )

if someone tortured thousands are you gonna get the 'one ' responsible and torture him to death, resurrect him and do that thousands of times ? Who the F are you ? Some modern Christian fundamentalist Jehovah ? D u u u u u d e ! .

Are you sure it was the past life she was saying was a 'very cold experience' and not the relationship ?

One supposes it was a political protest ?

I meant the the minor things that Sterling seemed to be pointing out the ' small infractions of calm' . I must not have read / been following close enough to get the associations you claim with the mention of that teacher . Hmmmm ... I hope one of those Sai Baba situations doesn't arise here ...... time to depart and go out scouting for firewood ...

Spirituality . There is more to all of us than just that .

Yeah ..... DONT SAY TRUMP ! Ohhhh ....
