Well, just call me the 'thread-killer'-

Recently, I have been pondering the notion of 'enlightenment', and how it seems to have become the 'new judgement day' for many who were raised or influenced though their younger years by the Judeo-Christian philosophy. The idea of waiting for 'the Saviour' to arrive on a day in the future to redeem...

you make a great deal of sense, spatialbody. if you are interested in the real meanings of christianity, and the mythologies that we have turned into history, you might like to read joseph campbell's work. through much research and struggle, i have come to feel that a great error of many humans is t...

Peaceful Mind-Loving Heart 'Peace' is not a state of mind it's not a treasure that we find it is not gained by thought or reason does not live for just a season is not found when war is done Peace can not be found or won it is not just a hero's prize a gift of politicians lies you can not fight or m...

this dream i wrote of happened about two years ago. at that time, i was very much into the practice of lucid dreaming as i found it to be an effective method of accessing my inner truth. since i've read ET's work and taken a closer look at much of his view, i have realised the maze i was wandering i...

if we look at how many of us live our lives, how we are conditioned and accept the parameters of that conditioning for so much of our lives, you could say that for those of us in such a bind; reality IS 'locked up' in a very real sense, for us. isn't it kind of ironic and endlessly amusing, how we w...

yes, great sharing, my friends!
won't we all have a good laugh when we wake up and real-ise we've been awake all along?

has anyone heard of this one?
kind of an interesting advertising campaign, hoax, or maybe...for real?

Recently, I had a dream that I met a guide by a pond on the edge of a forest. I asked him, ' what more can i do to assist the sorrowed? ' He responded, ' you have to go to the other side.' -I quieried him, ' but, what does that mean? ' he repeated, ' you have to go to the other side. ' For days I po...

thank you be-lank, for your kind words. yes, being in the moment is so vital, and so challenging with these human minds and all the bumps and sway of our journeys. this is why, to me, ET's (i LOVE those initials! :wink: ) teaching is so welcome and timely for me, and, i believe some of the most impo...

i think, on a personal level, we tend to get caught up too much in the details of life and our demand/desire that everything remain as it is, or was, when we were 'happier'- in some distant, obscured point of our past. we cling too much, can't 'let go' and adapt to what is, but try, in vain, to rega...

it is a good but unanswerable question, i think. if we do have a soul, and we knew for certain that we would survive death to live in 'paradise'- do you think there might be a sudden increse in suicides, worldwide? not knowing is a good thing, maybe. exploring the possibilities is also a good thing,...

here's one that came to me recently that is easily shared with new meditators.. Calm the mind and clear the senses first with a few moments of ‘Alternate Nostril Breathing.’ Add eye movements by looking in the direction of the nostril that is breathing in. (Optional). Sitting in meditation pose, eye...

peace
