here is another: "Nyad tells the story of Diana Nyad, a marathon swimmer who broke records and achieved a number of firsts in the sport. At the age of 60, she decided to complete the feat she wasn’t able to when she was 28—swim the more than 100 miles from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage, powered only by her stubborn will and swimming prowess. The Cuba to Florida crossing, through the Florida Straits, has long held a mystique for marathon swimmers for its challenging conditions. Unlike the English Channel, where the water temperature averages about 62F, the Florida waters are warmer, in the 80F range, but that also means they are home to dangerous marine life—most notably sharks and box jellyfish, whose stings can transfer enough toxin to paralyze and even kill a person. The Gulf Stream also makes the currents quixotic, so if a swimmer isn't guided by a seasoned navigator, she could find herself pushed off course into the Gulf of Mexico or toward the Bahamas. A few people had attempted it, but only with shark cages, including Nyad during that first try in her 20s...." https://time.com/6330894/nyad-movie-true-story-netflix/

In Hindu terms I'd say all Prana which makes all things possible is not the Self but is connected to and manifested from the Self...

here we go ;-) “There is a beginning. There is no beginning of that beginning. There is no beginning of that no beginning of beginning. There is something. There is nothing. There is something before the beginning of something and nothing, and something before that. Suddenly there is something and nothing. But between something and nothing, I still don't really know which is something and which is nothing. Now, I've just said something, but I don't really know whether I've said anything or not.” ― Zhuangzi

I suggest putting that on wait and see until you see more... (btw the good guys do not "lord it over" with power on the rest of us)

yea some of that reflection is one aspect, then again I'd say such beings/guardians are not passive and take action if needed which is about their place in the order of things. (besides what or where any other being may be at or up to)

um, that is not what I meant, more like high level high voltage guardian beings (like some gods) do not "suffer fools gladly"...

anyway the "higher" the being one may interact with the better it is to have your shit together, since some do not "suffer fools gladly".

double post?

also fascinating...

nothing against the "Field" but lets not forget Maslow's hierarchy of needs that can't really be bypassed:

so it sounds like you didn't have to use water safety rescue methods on him, something I've had to use on an over confident ocean swimmer to prevent his drowning....

yea but does she know how to swim in the ocean? I remember being on the swim team in high school and at one meet there was a weight lifter on the opponents team, he looked impressive but was a very poor swimmer! (if folks have noticed good competitive swimmers have a different kind of build and muscle usage)

adults and children are being killed/murdered, they don't need an abstract "field" they need clean water, food, shelter, and their humanity, which btw the Tibetan Lama and monks fled to India for.

get real about mixed reality on earth, heaven is nice hell is much worse,

Adharmic is against the common good of dharma, so no you can have your dangerous wishy washy .

logically the question of: if everything is perfect then what unperfect is there to "escape" from per the Buddha's famous quote along that line, including suffering? Thus I'd say it again until such an "escape" someone saying everything is perfect is a nice sounding platitude or as some call it bypassing.

ok, Brahman/Atman is perfect and can not be added to subtracted from or changed....but to go further the full meaning includes the "ten Thousand" as also being perfect which is more of a wowie if that is what you also mean? Anyway I'd say to see the ten thousand as also "perfect" takes the non-dual realization/perception as I alluded to otherwise such is a nice sounding platitude.

thanks for sharing the intense experience/vison Taomeow...on a side note its good to know that there are benevolent beings that can see right into our past like watching a movie and have us see it with them for understanding its effect on us! As for the future that was shown as likely (and karmic) possibilities although not written in stone.

if I remember correctly P.D. Ouspensky did a lot of pondering/theories along such lines of "going back", but I haven't studied those materials in like 40 years...

does someone make golden threaded straight jackets...?

Some say "everything is perfect"...that is so if one has attained perfection of being, wisdom, perception, power and safety related to same thus they can state that from a transcendental realization of non-dual truth...but for most of the rest of us we are in the trench's somewhere at sometime, so I'd say such is a nice sounding but pending problematic and idealistic platitude.

interesting, had never heard of that before.

Demonic/adharmic driven forces are upset with this....I say tough cookies. Btw vice is not virtue as some would have us believe... The speech took place last Monday, but the clip went viral this weekend as Trump fans attacked Pelley and piled on, much of the criticism echoing the person who posted the clip and wrote “Scott Pelley raged at Trump in angry, unhinged commencement address at Wake Forest…as he speaks openly and freely in America. This self-important, sermonizing propagandist is what passes for a legacy media ‘journalist.'” Poynter’s Tom Jones wrote in support of Pelley’s message that his warning was “hard to argue” with:

inductive reactance not recognized kicks butt..

karma is also like forms of math, for instance if one knows something does not compute but keeps doing it then the equation of karma will get more and more unbalanced. One can burn a fingertip and learn about fire instead of burning their whole hand to basically learn or compute the same thing. "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do..." but some know more than others as to what they do yet still keep doing it, thus I'd say there are different levels of forgiveness per a lawful equations. (although Grace is beyond "regular" computations)
