From my experience it's becoming a lot more easier to connect (psychically; telepathic) to people with similar interests/believes/opinions, often instantly the first time you met them and without even having shared a word. Like attracts like and this mechanism gets stronger the more you now who you are, and the more you are who you truly are. It's all about allowing these energies in, ones own and others, and letting them connect.

I would totally agree

Why don't you just stop caring about what other people say and do to you? You are the one giving them the power over your feelings, and it can be learnt to not be affected by others people opinions. Of course such concepts like having a "base sin" are not very helpful in this process, deep inside your heart is pure, better focus on that.

Here we go: http://www.selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=PhilosophyGuys I did it some month ago and what I remember: 1. St. Augustine of Hippo 2. Kant ... 10. Nietzsche "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe." Saint Augustine "Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering." Saint Augustine

I would say overall energie increasing, especially at the head and channels opening up. What do you think it is? Besides those phenomena I think it's quite important to look at your feelings while you are in this process as those those experiences are often linked to some (sometimes heavy) emotional movements that have to be dealt with

I guess a few guys might know Bashar? An extraterrestrial channeled by Darryl Anka (Cousin of famous singer Paul Anka). His concepts are absolutely astonishing, in the last few years I must have listened to hours and hours of his speeches (unfortunately like 95% has been deleted on youtube) and what convinced me of him is that he doesn't have to contemplate ever in his sessions, all this knowledge is coming in a very clear and fast way and although he talks about a big variety of things I have never experienced even one little contradiction in his concepts. One time he was also talking about the grey Alien and that they destroyed their home planet. He also said that they are observing humankind, because they want to understand our emotions and emotional behaviour, because they don't have any emotions. And taking genetic material to produce some kind of hybrids. Interview with Alain Steinfeld In 1999 he very detailed predicted 9/11, although he said it would probably be a nuclear attack.. but that's one of those deleted videos :/

Well, I thought it might be about how DNA evolved and spread across the universe and how possible it is that other live forms on other planets have humanoid forms.. ok yeah, you are right, it was an alien thread from the beginning

Is this the Alien-Thread now? :-) (...)These veterans, and hundreds of others just like them, have confirmed sightings near military bases, test areas, research laboratories and missile silos. The areas in question spanned the countryside from Tennessee to Montana to California. In many of these instances, the presence of the UFOs temporarily disabled the nuclear weaponry housed at each site. This phenomenon was not limited to the U.S.; it was experienced by members of Soviet military forces as well. (...) This is a documentary called "UFOs and Nukes" y Robert Hasting about UFOs deactivating nuclear missiles in USA and Russia, it's really well done with lots of eyewitness testimonies.

Throwing in Dr. Steven Greer

Yes, I was pointing towards that "laugh more easily, enjoy things more fully", but you are right, this doesn't mean involvement, but reality get's more intense in a way. I think for many people the difficult part is the allowance of one's own spontaneity. Spontaneity meaning: Having thoughts and actions that come from the true essence of oneself, those coming perfectly in the right moment. In the right moment, because they come from that place inside of you that is detached from linear time and that is always in the present, having a way more better overview of the whole situation than the ego/mind or whatever.

But there are still many open questions. From a scientific position it's just coincidence that through random adaptation on the surrounding nature something like humans evolved. Also, where is consciousness coming from. And why do octopus die when giving birth so that they are not able to pass on their knowledge and experiences to their child's? They would probably be the most intelligent creatures then. I think the question is what is consciousness, and did it maybe even exist before the first DNA-molecule in the universe?

it's interesting that if you zoom and zoom and zoom at the bench it isn't solid at all, just some waves or whatever, probably even dependent on if you observe it or not. So what I also find highly interesting is that our body and those normal, body-integrated senses we have are tuned to only that part of reality we are able to perceive. This is nothing new, but it simply shows that if we had other senses we would perceive what we call reality in a totally other way. There are of course other senses one can cultivate to perceive more aspects of the world. Everyone who had precognitive dreams or some kind of intuition for example knows that time and space are not that static as we were taught and that there are connections between life-forces that are not bound to time and space. And coming back to the believes I wonder what would happen if our parents and teacher would have told us in our childhood that things like time and space are flexible, that everything is connected, everything is energy, things like telepathy are possible and things like that. Would reality show that those things are true? I think yes, and I think slowly and steady the world is on it's way to realize those aspects of reality, but in its usual slow speed.

Thank you. Ever get the feeling that the more you get detached the more you are involved in it?

Did a new thread on that in the Rabbit Hole as Brian suggested, you are free to try the test for yourself ;-)

Yes, and the assistance can be found everywhere I think, the important thing is to allow it Of course meditation is also that tool in this regard Little fun-fact.. As I am studying philosophy I did an online test to find out which philosopher is in consensus to my own thoughts of existence and Nietzsche was ranked last place, 0% match

Would be interested in your definition of dream-like. often dreams seem to be more real to me than normal daily-life

I don't know if it´s really just that way, but we could probably philosophize about this endlessly.. It's just that imho there is good reason to see ones belief system as the fundament of ones subjective reality (and there is always the question if an objective reality exists at all). The succession goes like this: Your believes about reality determine your thoughts, your thoughts determine your actions, your actions determine your character, habits, personality etc.. I think this is obvious. According to the reality we perceive: You are speaking of illusion and delusion if we let our believes define the reality we are seeing, but isn't this how everyones reality is created? No matter if your believes are conscious or subconscious they are the fundamental factor which forms the reality. In Germany we have a saying or dictum which translates to "Life is hard". If you are a five year old child and your parents tell you that life is hard you believe them because they are your authorities and so you take it for granted. If you don't reconsider this opinion your will see life from that moment as hard and difficult and, I think this might be the most interesting point, you will attract circumstances that confirm this point of view, because humans are mostly communicating non-verbal and unconscious and you show your believes all the time, even those you are not aware of.. and others respond to them in the way that it fits your believes. This is just one facet of it, but I think there is a lot more playing a role. For example, seeing thoughts as a form of energy that does not only exist in your head but is sent out into the world, meeting other forms of energy, attracting and repelling other energies, then the opportunities we have to create a life worth living, a life that suits our wishes, are endless. Of course this requires total honesty to oneself and ones believes and it's a constant digging in subconscious patterns so that they come to light and can be replaced by a conscious decision, but in my experience this allows one to have a direct and profound impact on your whole life-situation and with it comes the realization that if you change yourself you change the outer world as it seems to be only a reflection. Question remains if it is just an illusion, but if it is, then it is an illusion that is created from a conscious decision and I think that a conscious observation on how reality is created is one way to find out about the deeper, underlaying structures of existence. But just my opinion and experience of course..

As believes / belief systems work like filters, only letting in those aspects of reality we are convinced to be true and to exist, I see it quite the opposite way: Believing is seeing.

Got some issues with that neck area for years with some physical injuries since my childhood.. When it starts vibrating, would you let it vibrate how it comes? Because if I do I often loose my meditative state and many thoughts are coming to my mind, sometimes of course through emotional releases in that area. But if I intentionally don't let it vibrate I get a lot calmer and often get the impression to reach deeper layers (blockages) in that specific area because energy seems even stronger then (like even feeling quite intense physical pain in some trigger points then.) But I am still not sure if the suppressing of natural vibratory movements is that smart and that's why I don't do it that often.

There are reliable studies that show the great healing effects of blessing food before eating it. Many, many highly interesting studies are shown in this book: "Reality unveiled" (Free for Amazon Kindle Unlimited Users which you can test 1month for free) https://www.amazon.de/Reality-Unveiled-Existence-Transform-English-ebook/dp/B01N392E8N/ref=tmm_kin_title_sr?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= (It's a great book.)

Gonna read that book :-) I personally love Reishi, it didn't just have a tremendous effect on the healing of an illness I had for some time; it also connects to the deeper, spiritual layers of ones personality in an astonishing way

No wonder then you never heard of it, typical pot-head song. It´s just one guy btw ;-)

Found this article in the Arcanum Lib. -Facebook Group and thought that it was worth sharing it here "This article was published in the monthly magazine "Qigong and Sport" in Xi'An, Shagxi province of China in the 1990s. In this article some Qigong masters who belong to different schools share their visions of the energy channels' system. Strikingly, their descriptions are very similar, which provides another evidence of some objective reality beyond our limited perception." Read full article here: http://www.qigong.net.nz/channels
