Greetings Abovetopsecret.com!
I have been frequenting this forum for years and have written a thread or two in the past.
Here, on this website and in these discussions, I find that there is the most incredible blend of deep thinkers, skeptics, extraordinarily intelligent people, and writers alike. The discussions here contain a variety of unique perspectives that blend together harmoniously, like the vibrant colors from a palette, to paint a beautiful picture of an ocean of brilliance, knowledge, and understanding. This is why I choose to place this discussion here.
I wanted to create this thread with the hope to answer questions on spirituality, life/death, and god with my own unique slant on them. To me it is a great service to be able to share, with others, my truths so that they may possibly wake up to new understandings.
In a sense you can consider me a disciplined adept who is giving his slant on metaphysics and the like. I am no better or worst than you, I'm simply an equal teaching and learning with you just as you are learning and teaching with me. All words that I write are merely neutral in their presence and you can take or leave whatever you read as truth or not - simply use your own inner intuition to decide what you feel is right.
I will answer questions that I feel are okay to respond to; the better your question, the better I am able to provide an answer. I will keep responding as long as I am allotted time to do so.
I am expecting the entire spectrum of replies from true questions from the heart all the way to scolding and teasing.
Here's your chance; do you have a question?

The question boils down to. Whose bright idea is it all to create and make us go through what we must go through just to "learn" an idea as simple as compassion or love?
It is your bright idea; always has been. You really need to talk to your soul collective or they to you. You are supposed to have this figured out by now. They (you) must be extremely frustrated right now (NOT ANOTHER LIFE ON EARTH AGAIN!!) who messed up this time, who forgot the gameplan?

"Your" brought idea? Again, where does "you" come from? Why does "you" need to be created and for what?
Let me illustrate by example....you happen to like eating broccoli. Instead of buying, you decide to grow your own. So you buy broccoli seeds. You have the INTENTION to grow the broccoli for YOUR consumption. It is never your intention to grow broccoli so the broccoli will awaken, learn Love, compassion, and realize that it's purpose is to be "advanced" from the soil to your stomach. Now, imagine you are the broccoli. :lol

You misunderstood me again. Ok...let's say you are one beautiful, delicious asparagus. Do you think you are only grown to learn about love, compassion and to be one with God or do you think you are going to be served as the grower's dinner? If they can think, most asparaguses would like to believe the former.

I have read that one too and "Journey of Souls", same author. They don't answer my questions regarding existence...who is behind the curtain, creating our consciousness, pulling the strings and what gives him/her the right? Michael Newton admitted, however, with all his hypnosis subjects, he wasn't able to go beyond certain level. I am truly curious what lies beyond. If anyone has any theory, I would like to hear it, however ridiculous it can be.

I would expect I would be gracing Gods Dinner Table hopeful that I am just sitting in a vase along with an arrangement of artichokes (aspect) decorative only.

That is a diplomatic answer. If you had suggested that you might be harvested just to be eaten, some other asparaguses may get angry saying you are nothing but a jealous parsley trying to scare all their kinds into disbelieving in Love, Compassion in order to advance to be one with God.

Since I was four/five, it had always felt funny that I should be here. I never did and will never understand the purpose of existence. It seems our ego tries to justify that we need to exist, we are beautiful, we are to serve the greater good, to be one with God, we need to learn lessons, compassion, etc, etc. I am now inclined to think that our creator really just had nothing better to do, It's all a big practical joke, an amusement park ride, a game. I have read many books and interviews and often surprised that not one seem to even question the basic fundamental essence of being.
Questions:
Why do we exist? What makes us exist, who decides? Why would the creator be silly to not build perfect beings who already knows everything there is to learn? No problem on earth (or anywhere else) is unique or original anymore...why are we so willing to be created only to be subjected to similar entrapment? Why must there be lessons to be learn? Nothing should matter if we don't exist in the first place, shouldn't it? Whom are we really slaves to and what is the grand plan?

Good and evil are faces of the same coin.
Say I take a slice of pizza off your plate. To me it is good for I will survive and be fed. For you it may seem to be evil as it is against your greater good.
Good and evil, correct or incorrect, up or down, this or that, right or wrong, etc... are all definitions given by each unique perspective of the individual. In the grand scheme of things there is no definitive answer on what is this or that.
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.edit on 15-3-2013 by 11118 because: (no reason given)
There is a right and wrong. Do you really think that soul growth, does not depend upon behavior, and in the very least intent? In infinity, do you see One plain that we emerge to? Or infinite houses, frequency groupings? If so, would they range in density/gravity and shrinking, or expanding? Though in infinity spatial and size/measurments may be impossible, the densities would still exist. Would birds of a feather flock together?
If there was no right and wrong, why does earth resemble boot camp for many?
Are we all grown up here? Does the state of the earth imply we are?
I see outward like a Good Star/Mother, caring for its creation/solar system, and inner like a dwarf star, by the way.

I would like to know why I met a light being when I was younger. Thereafter, I would like to know why I met Jesus in a dream. Also, tell me why I had a harder than hard life compared to the average. I would love answers to those questions.

Thank you for your replies I do not know what 11:11 is, will check it out now!
Shadow Herder your answer brought me up a new question : what if I'm aware of these events? and ''pushing will to change reality as LittleByLittle call it'' , will it still turn out to be predetermined in the end?
or even, it IS predetermined that I will be aware of these events?
