Maybe it's worth honouring that you are experiencing upset in the moment - regardless of, and consciously free of, any expectations on any other. Whether this is ego reacting, or a recognition of your own triggers, or an unkind exchange of energy from one intending to hurt, honesty with your self an...

I like how this thread has moved - there was one understanding of 'what happened' followed by a wider view of the 'situation', added to by a 'different perspective' and maybe the OP can feel a little easier about interpretations that were maybe tightly held, but maybe not seeing the 'all' of it. Red...

Andy said: Dean Radin has a book out on this: http://www.deanradin.com/supernormal.htm I checked out the book Andy, and a youtube video that posits him as my kind of thinker the agnostic true sceptic with open mindedness, refreshing. I like in the video that he says these things are not (maybe) a si...

Don't look for it, be it.

Rach said: I've been experimenting with pretty much exactly what you describe. I'd been reading about AI's and thought "I wonder what it would feel like to *be* an AI?" So I dropped everything, physical and mental, except that which I needed to perform the tasks of the moment: drive home from work,...

Kudos moonmissy :) When we get out of our head-space and at one with all presence, there's awareness of the subtle energetic frequency recognition that arises. It's always been there, and you may recall other instances that were more like flashes of intuition, but they couldn't compete with the 'rat...

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...
