Trails said: But what struck me the most was that every moment seemed like the first one for this poor soul. And similar to patients with Alzheimer's it lead to frustration and confusion. Frustration and confusion is not limited to patients with Alzheimer's or people who have lost neurological capa...

DavidB said: It makes me wonder then, is the Now a state to be achieved, as a goal in itself, or simply a best place to be in which to develop spiritually. And then that begs the question, in the absence of a "Now" goal, what is spiritual development? boggling paragraph there David :shock: May I br...

^ Heartfelt - felt with love. Right now the pain is being caused with the resistance between what I am currently thinking and feeling about the now; and my expectations that it should be different The first thing towards any way forward is being honest (in a balance of gratitude and generosity) with...

Hey freemymind I"m guessing as you're here you've maybe read a little of ET's work? Did you get to the bit about the only three sane responses to any situation? (and feed this with the love that is the equilibrium of gratitude and generosity) to accept, to change, or to remove yourself from the situ...

Honesty is the highest form of love, freemymind. Honesty to self and others. Forget the condemnation and shame and guilt - be honest with yourself and others, including your wife and children. Love does not want misery for the beloveds - and beloveds has to be self and other. I was once a wife, and ...

Nice answer Awake the cat - and you used three of my favourite words - accept, enjoy, enthusiasm no one's in the doghouse now.

Great OP Kungwu I especially liked the more recent sharing quote "“The individual has cosmic significance because it is the vehicle through which reality can become conscious of itself in its relative, immanent expression in time and space, as well as having the potential to be a living presence of ...

Thanks for sharing RT, fascinating excerpts. My dad suffered progressive Alzheimer's disease, and my mum now goes in and out of dementia, so it's a known thing / experience from the other side of it for me. That what remains of profound (selfless) love, and music (and warning sensing) without any of...

This is what I've learned from ET: If you are making an enemy, an obstacle, or a means to an end of a person, thing or situation then look around, you are creating suffering for yourself and others. Awareness brings us out of suffering because we are in the conscious modes of being - acceptance, enj...

I enjoyed your post E2B :D A spectator? (shakes head gently) I hope not. You both know I live 'here' in the little flawed oh so humanly limited mind and body, but, with the memory of the 'larger focus' (nice term E2B). Sh*t if there's supposed to be some 'purpose' outside of awareness and presence, ...

ww said: Just some fun considerations. :lol: am still trying to picture your head as a pretzel webby :lol: Answering a question with a question, is not answering the question, but deflecting. :wink: I'd agree that 'caring' is an equal to everything else part / expression within the all. But like ev...

Her 10 spiritual lessons are in this article. https://www.watkinsmagazine.com/10-spiritual-lessons-amoda While I do hear shades of Adya, Eckhart, Jac O'Keeffe, Gary Weber, Mooji, and kiki here, .. the lessons in this article, maybe it's just me, sounds like all of them and more - is it all, has it a...

:lol: turiya Webby said: If one cannot waste time, can they waste opportunity? Are some experiences more valuable than others toward the evolution of consciousness? The question of 'waste' then, if it is at all possible, must be related to the ability to choose. hmm we're getting very close to that ...

webby said: I still feel twinges of concern of whether I'm wasting time in some of the things I do. But then for all I know, the things I 'waste time' in may be the most important things I do. Spiritual purpose is strange indeed. Interesting sharing Webby, made me ponder too. Is it really possible ...

Yum yum yum nice to be back with you all :) So many ideas > potentials ...what shall I choose LOL!! Firstly, Tolle related - sort of - if you go back to all those myriad pathways in the neuron - universe images there is no way it can be planned (imho) we'd all just be programmed actors on a stage an...
