Sorry hB, but the phrase was once "rust in peace" and had to be altered when Neil Young's attorney filed a challenge. Once the case was dismissed, not necessarily stoopid, but rather LAAZY people who don't attend to the news just never got back on track.


Long as I'm here, we all (or at least many of us) know that rust never sleeps, but do termites?

The race was not given to the quick or the swift, but to the one who could endure to the end. Then we found out there was no end.

The unwary soul, who fails to grapple with the Mocking Demon of Illusion, will return to the earth as the slave of Illusion. To become a true master of fate, you must first become a true "Knower of Self".

What is happening now is most people are operating with only limited senses, rather than the five we are supposed to have. They can't smell things because there is such a barrage of contaminants overwhelming their sense of smell. They can't taste much with food so processed and contaminated. They need strong spices to even enjoy their food, not to mention whether they are getting adequate nutrients. They live in an overwhelm of sound and would rather talk than listen and need the sounds of constant radio and TV to block disturbing thoughts from their minds. They touch, but do not feel the energy of what they are touching. They look, but do not see true reality, just illusion. It is easy for our perceptions to be manipulated by those who understand how the senses work. And without all five senses working well, we can not utilize our 'sixth sense'. Most have calcified Pineal Glands
due to fluoride intake, meat, processed starches and artificial sugars.

It is possible, but not likely, that our perceptions are manipulated by those who understand how the 11 dimensions of sub-particle matter work.

I just did a search for "two protons alpha centauri."

A result that could interest Tom:

Jim,

I met Randy Atkinson a couple days ago. It was totally unexpected. We are both working on learning things and he is about four years ahead of me and it helped me a lot to talk to him.

your mind is your most valuable tool

thinking you are your mind is your primary distraction

while you relinquish control, your mind ties up your energy and runs amok

so your mind is being kept busy with distractions

keeping your mind distracted is the primary method used by the controllers

Do you mean controllers as actual people or something else? I tend to think that the paradigm is institutionalized and humans as controllers are no longer necessary. Humans are just too messy and unpredictable.

actual people and something else

look at the common realities created by how many people watch TV

and how many people show up to watch a sports game or concert

super markets and shopping malls

hours spent commuting on highways

rock climbers are at least a little bit outside the main stream

who do you think is engineering all this?

it's called mental entrainment

we are all one

so of course we can share experiences and thoughts and feelings

it is only the overactive mind creating the illusion of separateness

this is a basic mental misunderstanding perpetuating much of this discussion

i am surprised that people who have shared a rope on climbs would think otherwise

drugs and other experiential contrivances can bust down mental barriers and give you a look at this for a while before the mind reacts to raise even more powerful barriers

We have to keep at least two thoughts in mind at the same time:

"We are all the same"

and

"Follow the money"

If people with all the money say we are all the same, ask them for the money...

... and if they don't respond appropriately, well...

... I wouldn't be very convinced...

But that's America ain't it? ... full of business tricksters...

That is a worthwhile question to keep asking. I have been asking it for fifty years. I know some of the answers and have some ideas about more of the answers. But that is sort-of off topic for this thread. I am not prepared to tackle another thread on that topic.

I didn't say we are all the same ... that is certainly a falsity at the level of the manifesting material universe.

I did say we are all one ... and that is at the level of universal consciousness. Granted that fact certainly has major implications for the manifesting material universe.

And follow the money is certainly good advice for researching the social control structure where 'Babylonian money magik' with the 'fractional reserve system' is the primary control structure for this society ... i.e. money created from nothing loaned at interest with no mechanism for creating more money to pay off the interest so as to perpetually enslave debtors ...

But that is off topic for this thread.

Fair enough but you brought it up. This is your thread and you bring up a lot of interesting topics and I get that you want to stay on track but do you really want to be hall monitor and steer the "conversation" to your own narrow direction. Is it still a conversation or something else?

Yes. It's appropriate to call this our campfire. A great thing about this media is that anyone can take the conversation in any direction they want and others can follow that line of discussion or not as they wish. I have been following the 'What is Mind' thread with great interest. But most of my attempts to direct the discussion towards universal consciousness and levels of awareness didn't travel very far. So I started this thread, really as an offshoot of that discussion. I am still just as interested in the mind thread. And there are or can be other threads addressing some of the tangential issues briefly discussed here.

Cool. I admire your effort. I will check in now and then to see how it goes.

I like and have used that campfire analogy myself but I no longer look at this forum that way for many reasons. I realized long ago that my interests, opinions and perspective are unimportant to anyone but me. Lately I just want to shut up and dance. Slow dance.

MH2: meant to post this for you... assuming you hadn’t seen it: it’s more evidence that, at least to my eyes over the years, you’re a wise one around here... because yes, it is necessarily the humblest who stand up and say be humble... ;)
