Philosophical Speculations

My point is that use, abuse and the need for discernment exist at all levels, in all directions in a great mysteriousness in which everything is connected. Ahh! 👍 I didn't have the time-energy-inclination to wade through the hour+ of Pagel's 'dissertation'. Yes! ,,, Xceptin' to the idea of 'mysteri...

In a separate conversation, Ashvin asked an excellent question: Why should 'events' force us to realize the deeper levels of understanding as opposed to us freely seeking and confronting them ourselves? Key idea to contemplate: "In dissociated space, we are not able to evolve our energy."...

There is only 'Being'. Non-Being is a purely imaginary 'state'. More food for thought: " That which is not, shall never be; that which is, shall never cease to be. To the wise, these truths are self-evident. " (The Bhagavad Gita, Ch2) And from Seth Speaks, channeled by Jane Roberts: "...

The challenge of embodiment is to be fully embodied in relationship. This challenge exists at every level. Aye to that, Lou. Based on my understanding, I would say: 'The challenge and opportunity of psychospiritual incarnation as a 'nodal' soul in a multiplistic world is to become a fully relationa...

The Spirit is enchanted in the instinctive dream of the lion, it simply flows together with instinct. Man becomes ma...
