I just don't see the need for me to be, thus all the questions I had.


To be or not to be?
That is the question.


If there were no being then there would be no question. Being is prior to any question so the 'fact' of being is overlooked because the question is seen and then taken seriously.

Overall there are many sharings you've done, that are really in touch with Spirit, but on the issue of all behaviors being acceptable, this isn't true. Harming another has some pretty strong reprecussions, without someone working very hard, to pull away from the train wreck theyve made of their lives. God/Goodness is not everything. Infinity implies something else completely.

What becomes of the soul at the moment of death?

"It becomes again a spirit, that is to say, it returns into the world of spirits, which it had quitted for a short time."



Will you re-appear again in other 'lifeforms' to help us?
In each new existence, a spirit takes a step forwards in the path of progress; when he has stripped himself of all his impurities, he has no further need of the trials of corporeal life.

If you reappear, will your memory reseted to 0?
Do we accomplish all our different corporeal existences upon this earth?

"Not all of them, for those existences take place in many different worlds. The world in which you now are is neither the first nor the last of these, but is one of those that are the most material, and the furthest removed from perfection."

Does the soul, at each new corporeal existence, pass from one world to another or can it accomplish several existences on the same globe?

"It may live many times on the same globe, if it be not sufficiently advanced to pass into a higher one."

We may, then, re-appear several times upon the earth?

"Certainly."

Can we come back to it after having lived in other worlds?

"Assuredly you can; you may already have lived elsewhere as upon the earth."
-KArdec

Sorry, but you did not even answer any of my questions. I'll try another one.
What is our vibrational/frequency stage ride now?
Or how fast can you enter a channeling phase and how?

It is different for everyone but globally it is progressing. Progression is a law.


Or how fast can you enter a channeling phase and how?

The faculty of second-sight is permanent, but its exercise is not. In worlds less material than yours, spirits free themselves from matter more easily, and enter into communication with one another simply by thought, without, however, excluding the use of articulate speech. In those worlds, second-sight is, for the greater part of their inhabitants, a permanent faculty. Their normal state may be compared to that of lucid somnambulism among you; and it is for this reason that they manifest themselves to you more easily than those who are incarnated in bodies of a grosser nature.

Does second-sight occur spontaneously, or through an exertion of the will of those who possess that faculty?

"It generally occurs spontaneously; but the will, nevertheless, often plays an important part in producing this phenomenon. Take, for example, the persons who are called fortune-tellers and some of whom really have that power-and you will find that the action of their will helps them to this second-sight, and to what you call vision."

. Is second-sight susceptible of being developed by exercise?

"Yes; effort always leads to progress, and the veil which covers things becomes more transparent."

why does meditation come up again and again in the ancient texts as an important tool to self realization and peace?

should those on the path of the mysteries seek out like minded individuals in groups such as the freemasons, rosicrucians, heremeticist, etc to combine energies with to bring about healing to the earth and to its people or are such societies now a thing of the past, a far cry from the enlightened groups of old?

i had a realization recently that one of the keys to living a successful life was to be the one telling your own story. The job of the media, advertising, news, etc has been to tell our story to us for a very long time, often negatively with lots of doom and gloom, and that has a lot to do with the problems we find ourselves in today. as Shakespeare said, we are all actors on a stage, so it is with this knowledge then that we decide whether we are an extra or one of the main casts in this play of life. is this what the ancients meant when they said to change reality, to manifest, one needs to change their consciousness? that we create our own realities through our thoughts?


thanks so much, much peace!

Thanks, I'm satisfied with the answer so far

Another questions,

So enlightened ones can reappear just to accomplish what they didn't? For example bodhisattva whose goals to help everyone.
I also read that those bodhisattvas will never reach enlightenment until they save everyone, but how do they quickly realize they're not the bodies they're in?
Won't ego programs provided by society will stop them from doing so? (Especially when they're born in modern civilization)
Do they teach meditation in other planets? Or any self-realization technique?
What if they don't, will I realize/remember how to meditate? (if i 'die' here with higher awareness than i already have)

Thanks. I personally think the speaker is more coherent than Parsons, bringing up the same belief concept. Essentially, both are saying we are all inseparable whole. We are mere observing instruments to which totality of God functions. Then I ask, why not just install cameras everywhere or have zombies if individualism isn't to be in the equation? They are asking us to be moving trees...just feel, grow and observe. Can you, Itisnowagain, really do this? The mere fact that you are responding to my posts answers that question.


Funny, while listening to this, I couldn't help but think how it reminded me of the manner governments would like their citizens to be. Don't question, you are no longer a patriot (part of the whole) if you do. You have no freewill, it is useless to think as we control everything/think. Like Bush said..."you are either with us or against us". So most people chose to be 'with us'-ie with the whole. And see what mess he got us into.

I must say I was surprised to hear him say we had no freewill...without freewill he would not have been able to understand what he thought he understood. It is one's freewill to accept or not accept a concept. He chose to not only accept it but to spread it. If that's not freewill, I don't know what is. I wondered too who picked his clothes everyday. Maybe he wore different styles constantly because he claimed he had dropped his sense of individuality or identity but had taken up the identity of wholeness.I hope that's not the uniform of wholeness.
The "logic" presented that he could have his individualism because his individualism was that of wholeness while others' were not was absolutely questionable. What made him think that all other individualism cannot be that of wholeness too and his was ...implied superior?

I don't know, man. The delivery and message don't click with me as there are too many contradictions that I personally observe in the interviews and I am expected to just accept these contradictions without questioning them or the message bearer's actions/intention, when in fact questioning, seeking should be viewed as part of the oneness, without which evolution will be harder to attain. There is nothing wrong to feel incomplete, if you do, as there is nothing that can be deemed absolutely complete...which is a scary thought.


My counter suggestion to you is to pick the merits but keep seeking and questioning.

We exist because it is our very essence. The decision is not made but simply it is as it is. I am that I am. You can never be anything other than existence otherwise you would not exist in the first place.


I exist because my body/mind frequency matches my environment, if not I die.

You are already a perfect being. You, are in essence, whole and complete. You have all possibilities in potentiation, you may as you are the plenum for manifestation of anything and everything. Yet if the mind is not balanced then the entity will be distorted. Realization of completeness will bring about grace and perfection - this takes practice.


This is all about the profundity of doubt conciousness. If that ceased to exist you could have the realization of completeness; but where oh where is our teacher in all of this and why does IT remain silent to our cries for enlightenment?


11118
The Creator is the principle of infinity focused into a point of awareness from this point of awareness the Creator inevitably desires to know itself as infinity cannot simply understand itself without seeing the contrast and the reflection betwixt itself. Thus the Creator divides itself into an endless continuum of finite experiences and fragments - because the Creator is infinite all begins and ends in mystery the Creator will never completely understand itself but will always become more and more aware of itself.
The grand plan is simple. The Creator wishes to know itself as the Creator - it is, in the deepest sense, love learning about love.


Yes yes yes the creator wants to know itself, and needs to Witness (not personally experience human havoc). This is known to me. There is no hope for the human if God does not stop PLAYING its GAME of masterbratory selfishness. I see only ITS SELF LOVE (derainged) exhibited here at our expense.


11118
The lessons and struggles that we experience are beautiful gifts that teach us about love, about ourselves, about the Creator.


Beautiful gifts that teach us to love ourselves and our Creator; what is really meant regards the amoral sociopath and the voyeuristic logic of a clueless entity (in charge no less).

How does one overcome the superficial dependencies that so many of us are accustom to in today's modern society to ultimately find peace and happiness within themselves?

I'll take a go at it.

When I was in church school the spiritual-est people in the place would say that it was not a sign of humility to use the word "I" in one's daily blather. It was a sign of a lack of humility to be so self-absorbed.

So, what makes you more humble than the next person?

Firstly I must apologise as I have not read the entire thread.

My question is - Do you believe that one needs to to be a 'believer' ( in whatever religion ) in order to gain ' spirituality' ? if so - why?

I already have my own answer, i am just curious as to your response.

I would just like your opinion about something that happened to me about 5 years ago. I was driving down a country road and out of nowhere had a KNOWING that I was one with everything and that I was not seperate from God but a piece or spark of God. This experience had a very profound effect on me and has not diminished over the years, although I now feel like I am going through what I would describe as the darkest part of my life. What happened to me? And why am I going through this dark period of life. Nice thread and I appreciate any insight you might have.

Don't I exist because I am being. Doesn't only the body dies( & with the hope the ego dies)?

What is love but love of the Self. What do you think is wrong with love of the self?
When you learn the self is all then you love all.Thats what I was taught.

Sandelphon What’s better than to be absorbed in the self(the real I) ?
I was taught that seeking and focusing on knowing real self( self knowledge) is not selfish.

The OP did not say I will answer in the most humblest way or that he/she is the most humblest.
Its just an assurance that there will be humility in the answer, I think its very nice of the OP .

You can look at it form the view of positive and negative. A positive action is radiant, giving, full of light, and full of love (love for another's well being). A negative action is absorbent, selfish, and full of light in the opposite direction, and also full of love (love for the self's well being over another). Either action is always out of love and neither is right or wrong


Full of love for the self's well being over another - this assumes autonomy or just the perception of such?

The experience of love of self, others and the divine as one whole singular experience - would this be the whole coin in your example?

Although I already asked 2 questions, I am compelled to ask another. You speak of us all being both student and teacher. With this supposition, I ask, what is your question for me?

Thanks for taking the time for the thread

While we wait for answers....
If its not full of love for the self's well being over another IE if that self is oneself it changes the whole equation. For how can you love yourself more than you love yourself.
Love of the self in self or love of the self in others.
(Greed & lust are not to be confused with love.)
Love yourself and others selflessly.
Action from the heart in love is never wrong.

A)That would be your third question, the one you haven’t asked yet.
