what is key, is to not confound pure awareness or being with the symbols you use to define your path. they can never truly encompass the full being.

in thinking that you are an "awakened" person, you're really just creating a new persona, not unlike any previous persona's you may have employed, only this time with different qualifications.
the key is to realize that you are not the persona itself, but rather, you are the thing that created or chose to use that particular persona.

agreed, at least, that we are more than just those things...
more than spirit, even more than the soul...
I feel at our most basic we are without form and time, a single entity, the 'I'(Eye) perceiver...we have our on and off intervals, but ultimately the perceiver is always there, lying dormant in the ocean of unconciousness.
the phrase 'all-seeing eye' comes to mind...eye of ra/horus anyone?

That's not necessarily unique, electromagnetic anomalies are happening all the time, especially these days...
As a living organism, we emit and absorb electricity/energy. our local energy field is enmeshed in a greater energy matrix. if one is able to develop the ability to increase and direct their chi/prana at will, then they can produce tangible effects on other electromagnetic units.
For high adepts, such occurrences become part of their normal life experience.

1nf1del - Congrats on feeling on top of the world and don't let anyone bring you down. Overcoming adversity by maintaining a positive attitude is something that few people are ever able to achieve and you should just revel in your ability to feel the way you do. I admire you and if you want to ascribe a particular step to that achievement, you go ahead and do so!
Keep up the positive attitude !edit on 2/8/2013 by timidgal because: (no reason given)

It's not what you know and where you've been that makes you great. It's how well you learn and where you're going.
People have a lot of knowledge and can dwell in it and feel good about themselves and be proud. But if you get caught up in beating your own drum and you stop being a good learner, after a while, no one is going to care. They've seen it before. The world changed and you didn't change with it. You have to keep being impressive. Keep learning.
