Strange thing is, I know you and from whence you came.

What do you mean?

I have no idea what's really going on. Even as I come up with super spiritual ideas and watch them play themselves out in front of me. I can't really be sure that that is really the point. I don't understand the point. I don't understand what its all about. The only thing I know for certain is what's going on right here and right now. That is the only truth I have.

What I'm saying is, there's no point in categorizing it all with names and such. There's no point in conceptualizing your experience. Because your conceptualization and your categorizing can only serve to demean the truth of what really is going on.

They say life has no meaning except for the meaning you give it, but if you don't give it meaning, then you can see the truth. You won't even know exactly what to call the truth when you see it. So the truth remains a mystery.

So what's really going on? Some mystery. I believe I'm going to go make a thread now.

Before Aristotle catagorized everything and then enshrined all that in the halls of academia, they used to teach virtue, so that man could find and experience and know the truth.

"I am the way the truth and the life."

But the mistake many make is they buy into the old saying that We don't kNow anything, when that isn't so. We dew kNow, We just don't kNow All that is kNown.

Is there oil in that lanturn, or do you already presume to know everything already?

P.S. I love you, and have already gotten over the meaningless tampon remark. No worries as they say.

Luv ya two!

From a previous life in a richer broth. You've since avoided venturing back for fear of drowning.

Ok. I'll get right on that with a tampon, and get back to you with my success or lack thereof

Did you see The Chronicles of Riddick? The Death by Teacup scene?

Imagine Kira doing one better up on Riddick . . . Death by Tampon.

That's absurd, and impossible. PM though, sounds interesting!

The etymology of my last name, and my disposition, determination and body type all suggest that my ancestor was a powerful and brave, herioc knight of some kind who was known to charge in with great valor (courage in defence of a nobel cause), and before that I think i might have been an actual desciple of Jesus of Nazareth, maybe..

I was something, someone, and I've got the blood of aristocrats, and I'm powerful and seem to be able to call things into being, movements..

Rich broth? I don't know what you mean, but this is off topic.. PM me if you could I'd like to know how and why you think these things, there just MIGHT be something there who knows..

I thought she meant past life regression of some kind or something like that. I have no idea what she's talking about, she might have me confused with someone else.

I think that I feel the same way every day. Sometimes I meet it with a "bring it on" attitude, sometimes despair, sometimes hope. What helps me not become completely overwhelmed by it all is doing my best to focus on my take on what is most important. Other people. What is life without other humans to share it with? Imagine a world where you are the only human. Perhaps at first it would be interesting but when I dig deep in my heart at the deepest state of consciousness I can access, the root that gives me motivation to live is other people.

Maybe I'm lying to myself? Maybe other people don't matter because other people don't care about me. I don't know what else to do other than my best. That's it.

She's talking about a Soup Pot.

Ever hear of a Gene Pool? Isn't a Pool like a Pot?

I only wish!

We figured it out, and she wasn't crazy, and it was an on-line past life from which I've since resurrected.

We cannot truly know ourselves except through the eyes and presence of others, absent which we shrivel up and die a little more each day.

How honored people would be, if we would but have the courage to ask them to be our friends.

There is no excuse for absolute loneliness.

If I am speaking to anyone here, please, for the love of you and everything worthwhile, REACH OUT to your fellow man, and don't stop until you get the human interaction you need and deserve, and hey, those people whoever they are (or will be), they need you just as much as you need them. We need each other.

I always like to say that we are an absolute mystery, but one well worth exploring in mutuality. That's the inquiry, right there.

There is no such thing as "isolate consciousness", Jesus understood this well when he said "what does it profit a man to gain the WHOLE world, but lose his own soul?" Yes, that may have been a slight on Buddhism or Taoism of which he was well aquainted I am utterly convinced (see three wise men from the Orient myth of the "birth" of Christ).

We exist as mysterious beings within the framework of what I call "the relativity of human being".

Dear NewAgeMan

Things I know for sure

The establishment is lying.

We are all going to die.

People will profess to know things they do not.

In the end nothing matters too you, because you will be dead.

No matter what happens most will still be paying TAXES.

Oh!

reply to post by MAC269

You're talking to the wrong guy. For starters, I don't even think our most essential self will die, and I don't care about taxes, or the bull# the MSM are trying to feed us. It's all crap, garbage, and if I'm in NewAge fairy land for believing in the human being and in truth and love, then so be it, I don't care, as long as it resonates with what I know is true from my OWN felt experience. Your post tells me (reading between the lines) that you still live in a world that I only still have one foot in, at most.

Only one of these two "programs" will survive, but personally I don't think it's going to be "business as usual", when the "SHTF" (not in the traditional sense, but) when the cosmogenesis of the noosphere reaches omegapoint.

What's required of us, I firmly believe, is a participatory eschatology, and I know it sounds like I'm speaking another language here, but Google is still there no matter which of the two worlds you inhabit, the old one, or the new.

What's scary however, for the "old worlders", and this isn't directed at you MAC269 in spite of what I've just said, is what will happen to them when everything DOES start to shift suddenly in the twinkling of a Shaman's eye, and everyone ELSE is embracing one another and laughing together as if sharing the cosmic joke of all ages - will they "see the light" and join in, or like the Pharoah, will their hearts be hardened and their blood run cold, like it already does in so many and so many I see right here at ATS (not you per se).

Two worlds, and one is fast passing away, that's what I see, and I've all but moved out of that materialist monist (matter alone is primary) time-based Lady Gaga/NFL/CNN-Fox News matrix. In fact, I have such faith, that I don't even believe in their power any longer! In my world, it's GONE, their whole system even now is fast sliding into the abyss (although few see it).

Their whole pyramid it just doesn't hold up any more, doesn't hold water, and contibutes nothing of value or substance to the world, to mankind, to the universe, or to God.

Wrong side of history.

So don't tell me what reality to accept. Anything is possible in the fullness of time and history, and the good will triumph over evil, can't not in the final analysis.

See I am already creating the world I and everyone will be living into generations from now, even now I am laying down tracks to follow, and I do care because I (my truest self beyond ego/personality) will never die, so I'm sorry but we simply have to agree to disagree on some things.

/rant over (sorry it wasn't directed at you MAC269)

Best Regards,


NAM
