Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34391377 It's well said but how many who can spell out the theory that could have been acquired in literature, have actually gone there? Quite a few, actually. Many beings are waking up now. Don't be fooled. There is a difference between waking up to there is something more and awakening. Most ppl think they are awakened the moment they wake up to "that there is something more." Sometimes ppl receive a glimpse of the oneness and immediately think they are enlightened. It is true that more light is coming in to support spiritual advancement, but most are little babies in awe when they perceive a glimpse of magnificent existence and immediately apply their habits of owning those experiences and call themselves awake. In truth, they know nothing....yet :) The transcended ones are very few. Everyone will wake up eventually and each ones path is different. So what someone gets a glimpse and thinks they are enlightened. So what they don't know much yet. I look at my own path and see how many times I have stumbled or mistook/mispreceived an experience and yet I regret nothing because it has brought me to where I am now...and that is not even the end. I will continue to wake up always and All ways. And so will everyone else. We all go back home eventually. It matters not at all how we get there. I wouldn't be so sure that everyone will get home. |

I was speaking in the broadest sense. The danger of over analyzing, and trying to overstand everything there is intellectually and with mind is that one disables their ability to actually experience it. I have found that in some cases it is good to over-analyze, then drop back and distill the information. Then, experience the distilled portion. After experiencing it, it is embedded, for lack of a better word.

Maybe some do not want to go home because they like it here. Ever heard of free will? Of course I know free will...you simply misunderstand what I mean by home. Home is a state of being that is actualy who you really are apart from the personality, physicality and altered ego. It is the greatest potential of who you are. And who eveyone is. So there is no question of wether one would want to go home or not. It is simply a truth. The ones who screw up to bad and refuse to correct, may just perish...and not go home.

Yes, there was a beginning to the consciousness of the "self". It is in the 'movement' of self-reflection. And, yes, the consciousness of the 'thinker' begins when it 'thinks' itself into existence. But, as Agent Smith says in Matrix Revolutions: "Whatever has a beginning has an end, Neo." The consciousness that is non-temporal and non-spatial is the consciousness Created by God.

I was speaking in the broadest sense. This is usually what people say when they have no Knowledge of a subject; that it is nothing more than "semantics". "Semantics" about the Doctrine of "resurrection" got tens of thousands of Albigensians and millions of Jews slaughtered over several hundred years of Christian anti-Semitism. If you don't understand the origin of what I am talking about, why not just say that you don't understand or you don't believe, rather than calling it "semantics"? If you say you don't believe it, fine by me. But, when you call it "semantics" you are merely magnifying your lack of Knowledge. Michael And why should I be worried that people see my lack of knowledge? I see it as a good thing, as they can help show me the knowledge I am missing if they so wish. Using the 'Semantics' excuse is a form of laziness more-so than a lack of knowledge, in my opinion. For example, I understood perfectly what you said in the context it was given. But, since you already get it, why should I express to you that I already get it, it being the idea you posted. I don't really care if people see how stupid I am because of magnifying my lack of knowledge. It doesn't bother me in the least. ![]() [link to swingingonspirals.blogspot.com] [link to blackbagconspiracy.wordpress.com] "Knowledge is wisdom without experience." ~ Chad Adams "Complexity nests itself within patterns.

Me on the other hand, I know that I know nothing. Knowledge is not something that a person has, because there is no 'spatiality of consciousness' to have it. Knowledge is observed. It is not a question of having Knowledge or not having Knowledge. It is a question of seeing or being blind. People can be taught how to see; but they cannot be taught how to have a Knowledge that cannot be had. It is like pouring boiling water into a bottle made of ice. Michael |
