  1. It is useful to distinguish consciousness from awareness, Human consciousness requires a physical brain that anchors mental energies - like a TV antenna. Awareness is possible on all the planes of Existence on which the entity has accumulated substance and developed sense organs. There are a lot of planes. The 7 planes humans relate to, turn out to be subplanes of the Cosmic Physical Plane. And the cosmic planes turn out to be subplanes of the Universal Physical Plane. And human traditions generally do not have names for yet higher physical planes.
  2. Quasi-History

    Alternatively the ancient peoples made functional objects that modern humans struggle to understand. How many ancient devices have been labelled as religious objects and put in the basement of museums?
  3. In my youth I worked as a casual laborer. It was "job and finish". So we worked hard to go home early As below, so above
  4. My own repeated observations indicate that the human format is used by a wide variety of spirits. This is because the human format has extensive cosmic functionality - when properly refined and aligned. (Enlightenment is the usual entry price) The wide variety of spirits using the human format (or the human race) have purposes ranging from extreme yin to extreme yang. When I follow those purposes to their sources, many can be found anchored within the Absolute/Dao. It seems that the Dao is not purposeless - and hence many in human format may be swept into the complex outworking of the Dao. That is good because few humans wish to be purposeless Who can test the above? What about a vote?
  5. Was Beingness consulted before that constraint was imposed? Sounds like AI - unable to learn
  6. It is unlikely that someone will give money if feeling badly about you. Right relationship is central to clean/proper flows of wealth
  7. My observation of Beingness is that it seeks experience - hence produces Existence. If Beingness seeks experience, I deduce that Beingness is becoming more and therefore is changing and not absolute If humans have free will, Beingness does not have an absolute view/intent/direction
  8. The Absolute has always retreated before me. I conclude that the Absolute is a label for the limit of human perception. Accordingly humans may need a different concept to discuss what is beyond their perception My very limited experience is that what lies beyond what is called "the Absolute" is actually dynamic, with its own agenda I find that comforting. An unchanging Absolute has no interests/experiences - and therefore no interest in whether humans are useful in the Cosmos Humans like to be useful
  9. No doubt you are aware of expressions such as : easy come, easy go. It seems to me that there is an intelligence that manages such processes. Some call that intelligence the Earth Mother. It seems that it is important to be in positive balance with the EM - otherwise she is always pulling away undeserved wealth. About 15 years ago I decided that I was in surplus balance and I decided I wanted to cash in some of it. A couple days later I was standing in the usual queue at central station waiting to swipe my card when a dollar coin fell out of the air in front of me. I looked around and no one seemed related to it - so I put it in my pocket. The next day another dollar fell out of the air in the same place. So I picked that up too, Nothing the next day, but the following day another dollar fell in the same place. By that time I had figured it out. I was in surplus and if I insisted they would pay it out at a dollar a time. So I turned to the woman behind me in the queue and held out the dollar saying: I think this is yours. She took it and that was the end of money falling out of thin air
  10. When I was about 12 years old, I knew I would always have enough money. Much later, having been out of the paid workforce for 5 years, on re-entry I got down to $10, but all was well. Currently, not being good at spending, I have more than I need. I am suspicious however that the excess is intended for something in the future.
  11. Do planetary alignments matter

    There are many energies that flow within the body of the solar system. Some are more refined than others. Hence the relationship between our moon and lunatics
  12. As usual translating inner/spiritual statements between languages misses much of the meaning. The physical plane/form is an effect and not a cause - hence is empty Beingness (containing no forms therefore empty) generates all manifestation Empty is not a useful word for those working on the inner planes
  13. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    She told me that one time she was screaming at her husband and saw her young daughters getting upset. So she said to the girls: Look into my eyes - am I angry? They said: No. She went back to screaming at her husband
  14. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    Long ago I knew a first ray (will) probationary disciple - thus able to control his physical energies but still struggling with emotional and mental processes. His wife was an accepted (inner plane) disciple, able to control her emotions. She said that on occasion she would have to scream at her husband to get him to pay attention to his foolishness. The husband was an interior designer. He told me of a mansion that he redecorated. The owners moved out shortly after. They could not cope with the decor Expand that to a planetary scale
  15. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    By some accounts in the first version of this solar system (incarnation of the solar Logos) our god was a god of right intelligence. Spiritual development for human souls was based on learning to direct intelligent energies. In this incarnation of the solar Logos our god is a god of love - or more correctly, a god of right relationship. Human souls formed in/for this version of the solar system mostly are learning right relationship. Some of the souls from the previous solar system prefer the old ways. Billions of years from now (if linear time is significant) there will be a new version of this solar system where our god will be a god of right intent. A few brave souls are preparing the way. Thus right intelligence provides usable structures, entities and groups Right relationship develops coherence and strength in those groups Coherent groups with right relationship may be strong enough to be used with right intent. At that stage our solar Logos may qualify for functions delegated by our galactic Logos. etc.
  16. Agreed. At the denser levels this is because emotional and heart processes tend to support group processes - as compared to the one-pointedness of many men(tal) and will processes
  17. Is It Over? The Dao Bums Fall

    It is generally the case that spiritual forums have declined over the last few decades. It may be that with the changing of the local cosmic cycle that inner processes are changing too and new interfaces are required. Also the greater cosmic cycle may have different objectives/requirements for the inner processes of humans
  18. Test it for yourself Western education systems are largely based on male thinking processes. Women have to learn to think as men to succeed It seems, however, that women often make the best ecosystem scientists. Their awareness is encompassing and complex rather than one-pointed.
  19. Men tend to be dominant as physical and mental - hence needing to control the mind before there is much access to the heart Women however are often dominant in emotions and heart so that their heart development may be established earlier
  20. The personality mind needs to be controlled/refined so that the human spirit may use the transpersonal mind - with the personal mind as the servant. Later (in most cases) the personal heart may be refined and managed so that the transpersonal heart may dominate Later still the higher will (atma) may dominate the will of the personal mind Then the human spirit shines cleanly through the persona (the mask)
  21. What is money?

    In this solar system it is often human slaves. Humans are better at manufacturing processes than many aliens Fortunately the external trade in Earth humans was recently much restricted Some alien sources say that only Earth humans experience linear time.
  22. What is money?

    Obviously money is not a permanent store of value. Countries regularly issue new currencies. The US is the major exception with notes from 1900 still legal currency - hence most of the US notes are held privately in other countries as protection against the loss of value of local currency. By some accounts, if you cannot pay government tax with the currency it is not money. Some alien accounts, give a long list of the evidence for Earth humans not being civilized, including the use of money. It may be noted that intergalactic trade does not use money.
  23. Sometimes there is something for me to do in the greater system. To take a trivial example, I was at a friend's place earlier and she had a partly formed nature spirit sitting above the house. She had two sorts of vitamin C on the bench. She pointed out one and said: that feels much better. And I could easily feel that. So I said: ask the nature spirit above your house to improve the other vitamin C. She did and in less than a minute she could feel the target vitamin was much better. I could feel it without needing to touch the container. She asked why the nature spirit was partly formed. When she gave some heart light to the spirit it developed its missing higher levels. She could see the change. As below, so above
  24. There are some processes I keep an eye on. Also I put my attention to various Logoi and sometimes they have something for me. Sometimes I just touch bases without anything coming up The exercise is important for developing my light body functionality
  25. I don't worry about labelling or defining. In meditation progressively I seem to get further out from the planet, doing pretty much whatever gets put in front of me, after testing it. The real me is always beyond my expanding perception
