My higher self's explanation of souls.

a reply to: March of the Fire Ants

Well... at first, like I said, the distinction between my ego (which I consider to be the earthly, rational, brain centred, thinking me that 'I' have always been) and my higher self (what is usually just a quiet voice, behind the internal monologue babble of the ego. Often not even a voice as such, more of a nudge here and there, more conceptual and feeling based) was such that within me there were two distinct 'voices' both me but different sides of the self.

You go onto surmise it 'switched' or 'became' another entity, I proposed that it was this way all along.

Socrates wrote about this 'other' source of information. He said it was like writing his thought on a blackboard and then having the pertinent ones sort of highlighted or lit up to show which were correct. He surmised this was an outside influence giving him showing him, the wisdom to know the difference, or something like that.

I think most of the return answers I get in my head are enlightening my thought stream form outside my self. Like watching a news cast and they say something, a 'voice', perception, nudging response to that comes into mind.

Usually, "thats BS…", lol. Or, "what about this…"

I don't think those 'suggestions' are me. I don't think my internal dialogue is just me going back and forth.

After all what is tempting us, is it from within us or without?

"Everything ... is everything".

Well.. I've always theorized that if a multi-verse exists, every time you dream (whether artificial conjurations of your sub-conscience, or a direct line of sight) you are seeing a universe that exists and another iteration of yourself within that universe. I think the easiest thing to reach through something like 'telepathic communication' would be yourself.

Sometimes when I'm falling asleep I can almost reach a state where my conscience-mind and sub-conscience can communicate freely. I had the epiphany one evening that by realising WHAT YOU WANT is very important. It's not selfish to know what you want unless it's materialistic want, or the want for instant gratification. You must realise what you want in this world, what will feed your soul for the positive, and commit. My sub-conscience communicated that if you do this you can align your conscienceness with other iterations of yourself and by doing this make the outcome you want a lot more realistic.

Hocus pocus and nonsense? probably, but hey, I'm trying to figure stuff out. Trial and error, slowly but surely.

How would you react if your higher self suggested you were Aliester Crowley re-incarnated... lol!

Well, to be honest, I would be fine with that statement. You see, I am Aleister Crowley, as are you, as is everyone. We are but ONE entity that has split itself into an infinite number of "other-selfs" to fully realize and appreciate IT'S entirety.

If you aren't aware of the Law of ONE, please consider looking into it, as you may be surprised with the answers that lie within.

Below is a pdf that you can download for free. The original from 1981 is a little challenging to understand and this version was made specifically to simplify Ra's explanations:

Am I also Anne Boleyn?

a reply to: GreenGunther

are you talking about the Law of Attraction?

It works

a reply to: veracity

Yes, you are everyone and every thing.

a reply to: donktheclown

I get that we are all in this world together, but I really do not think I am you.

a reply to: donktheclown

Yep, everything comes from and goes back to and is a part of the one.

I all it the "Is-ness" because it just....is. lol

It's always been there and will be there. It'll never end because it never began. All possibilities to infinity exist at the same time for every possible state of matter and being. From macro to micro. Every electron, quark and whatnot -- all co-exist concurrently in every possible situation and state at once.

And when you get there? It's like coming home after being away at college all year. It's a warm familiar feeling of being back where it all comes from and exists.

If you have preconceived religious ideas about the afterlife, you will probably generate lost loved ones and some kind of "light" that you interpret as "God" or something to keep you from freaking out.

I guess in a way you are meeting "God" -- but you're kind of not. Its YOU, its ME, it's US its....everything. You're meeting yourself and everything else that ever was, will, is and could be from macro to micro, to infinity. It's all there in a nexus or singularity outside of space/time.

unless it's materialistic want, or the want for instant gratification.

I don't believe that matters, either. There is no right or wrong, but manifesting "instantly," in our current reality, is kind of hard for physicality to align with so quickly. JMO.

You sure have the concept - in spades. I'm so happy to once again realize that there is hope for us yet...Thanks, pal. LOVE.

I wish I understood, im just stuck on reincarnation, each soul is reborn into a new body, trying to believe I was a mermaid in a past life and that every action has a reaction (Karma).

a reply to: veracity
Well, if you think about it, you have no way - outside of yourself - to even comprehend my or anyone else's existence without the thought originating within your mind, first. I originate in your mind and you assemble that idea as YOU wish.

I believe that is how we all exist - through the "sharing" of ONE mind, ONE thought form.

Love right back at ya...or me...or us LOL!

One way I hold onto the feeling of that place is remembering what I was shown as I departed. I saw the infinity symbol as a mobius strip at the same time. While I was shown that, an infinite number of voices were whispering, "Everything is everything" to me over and over.

It was if I was being given a "clip art" and "sound clip" to bring back with me in order to remember what's really going on....as in time, life has its ups and downs and we can tend to forget these things.

And when I remember that image, and those words I am able to recall and bring back more memory of that place. It's like a souvenir, and way cooler than any postcard or fridge magnet!

a reply to: veracity

I'm sorry. I don't wish to come across as a crusader of some sort, but please look into the "Living the Law of ONE 101." I promise you, it has a great chance of changing your outlook and your reality - for the infinite good.
Best Wishes, and LOVE.

Okay, I'll try and simplify things with an metaphor and analogy I've come up with recently.

Imagine you are hovering over an infinite ocean. In all directions all you see is water. Then, you realize it's not water -- it's some kind of energy that everything in existence is made of and comes from.

When a person is "born" it is like you dipping a cup into that ocean and putting some of that energy into a small container.

When you die, that contents of that container is poured back and co-mingles and mixes back around with the infinite once more.

That is how we are all "one" and yet can experience being separate.

Reincarnation?

Every possible lifetime for every possible human being to infinity has already been lived. You are just living one right now, and as a part of that "everything" have lived every one of those lives forward and backward in time as well to infinity.

So, sure you were Jesus and so was I.

Some people remember past lives, but they are only remembering one specific past life that we all have lived.

The thing is -- when you can do anything and be anything, what do you do?

Well, EVERYTHING!

And so that is what is being done. Everything has to be experienced from all perspectives. In order for love to exist, hate has to also exist and be experienced. For joy, sadness. In order for things to exist, other things have to also exist in order to give them meaning and perspective.

a reply to: MystikMushroom

Awesome. I believe you're well on your way to realizing what's going on, and that's just the beginning. Imagine what you could realize tomorrow....Spread the word my friend - we've got a long way to go. I leave you in the LOVE and in the LIGHT of the ONE INFINITE CREATOR....

So...that's why I'm not afraid of dying. I'll just get "recycled" and who knows where I'll end up. If I keep my wits about me I might try something cool in the year 3565 on Mars.

One thing though, I do know I did choose to be me this time. Not sure why. The "is-ness" from which I came (and which is a part of me now) must have had its reasons.

In my personal opinion we are all the same entity experiencing reality from multiple perspectives.

This may be a poor analogy but I see each conscious being as an eye of the same source, kind of how a fly has multiple eyes yet they all serve the same purpose. We are all the same consciousness experiencing different perspectives, each perspective being what we call a "soul" of the universal spirit.

One key thing that's important...while it's true that everything is part of everything and is one -- you are not "God". It's easy to come to that conclusion and it's not exactly wrong...per-say, but it is far more accurate to say, "God is a part of me".

It sounds like just stupid semantics, but if you feel and understand this stuff -- play around and with "I am God" and then "God is me/a part of me".

It seems to somehow make some weird sense and resonate more smoothly.

As an added bonus, people won't want to lock up in a mental ward for running around claim to be god. LOL
