    I'm looking for a connection between this word and anything relating to shells or husks or garments.

    I'm feeling to inspired to do a word-study on the original Greek being translated as "works". Or is that procrastination? ~chuckles~

  7. The Psychic Sea and is it getting dirtier?

    Generally speaking, an individual is considered "psychic" if they are able to navigate the soul as a medium which connects virtually everything. For some it is a gift they are born with. For some it's a consequence of life experiences, often trauma. It can also be taught as a skill / craft. Most often it's the confluence of all three to a degree. Becoming more psychic means the individual is able to better navigate the realm of the soul, both in themselves, in others, and beyond the material. For example: divination requires plotting a course between a web of could-be events and the events on the time-line here and now. That's not easy. An individual may be able to explore the realm of soul as a psychic, but that doesn't mean they can make any use of it or do so without losing their mind.

    That's a natural consequence of the work you're doing. You also may have a predisposition, natural inclination towards immaterial exploration.
  9. The Psychic Sea and is it getting dirtier?

    There's many ways to describe it, but, psyche is an all-inclusive term describing the immaterial attributes for the individual. These attributes can be broken out in different ways. If I were to start making a list of all the immaterial attributes which contribute to an individual, I would never stop listing. That's because individuals are nearly infinite. That said, this is how I break it out: Psyche = heart+mind+soul, all three. The heart and mind are internal, in the body, and are governed by a body+spirit partnership. The spirit is a vitalizing force which produces autonomous biological functions as well as the the creativity of the mind, the emotions of the heart, the desire to express oneself in art, etc. The spirit is bound in the body. The soul includes spirit and more. The soul is bound to the body of the individual but is not limited to it. It reaches out and connects to all the others in a nearly infinite nested chain of corresponding layers. The Psychic sea, therefore includes all immaterial attributes of each and every individual with only exception: the source.

    You're doing fine. Send me a message or reply here in this thread if I can help or support you. Conversely, another way? Gather your friends, loved ones, animals, plants, colors, melodies, ideas which are in harmony with your own self,in harmony with your own "true-will" as some refer to it. This is why knowing oneself is often a pre-requisite for the work you are doing. It makes it a lot less lonely, because, along the way, you will likely make some friends, join a tribe, so to speak.

    I include "soul" in psyche. You don't?

    I see 12 petals in a 6 pointed star. 6 inner, and 6 outer. I am including what most ignore as "negative space".
  13. The Psychic Sea and is it getting dirtier?

    is there any one without a psyche?
  14. The Psychic Sea and is it getting dirtier?

    I like it. I do something similar myself.
  15. The Psychic Sea and is it getting dirtier?

    nearly infinite nearly infinite nearly = proximal infinite = forever expanding there is no distance in regard to the nearly infinite "sea", because everything, every one, is equally near it. The nearly infinite is forever expanding in all directions: forward, backward, left, right, inner and outer. This expansion is not spatial nor is it temporal, but, these are the words that are used to describe it. A better word to describe it would be forever "including" with 2 exceptions: the observer and the source. Going back the metaphor of the nearly infinite sea? Where ever one goes? Forward, backward, left, right, up, down? What is the distance from this individual to the nearly infinite sea? Has the distance changed with the individual's motion? If I jump in the ocean? What is the distance from the water to my skin? When I pour a glass of water into a cup? What is the distance from the water to the sides of the vessel? What is the distance between left and right? What is the distance between forward and backward? What is the distance between inner and outer? I decide to dig a hole in my yard. I dig down a little bit. What's the distance between inside the hole and outside the hole? I dig more. Did the distance change? I dig more. Did the distance change? See what I mean? It's like that. Even though it's nearly infinite, it still has properties which are approaching the infinite. "Outer" includes almost everything, right? When I am digging the hole in my yard? What if I get out of the hole, and I start making a list: What is outside of this hole? That's a big list, isn't it? It just keeps going. I'll never stop listing, right? But it's not truly-infinite, because there are things which aren't outside the hole. Those are the things in the hole. But "outer" is still nearly infinite. That makes it magical, in a manner of speaking. This "magic" is what is defying conventional intuition regarding distance in this context. That's what "magic" means. Magic = "defying conventional intuition". The psychic "sea", is like this. It defies conventional intuition. One can go there, without going anywhere. Distance is completely irrelevant. It's irrelevant as a natural consequence of being nearly infinite.

    The heart connects the whole body. Does the heart chakra connect to the others? Like a star?
  18. An odd synchronicity

    @snowymountains, Sounds like a really special event. I am so happy for you. This is great. Yes! This is huge. Thank you for sharing. It's been a true pleasure. Blessings: peace, love, and joy to you, your partner, and your mysterious messenger, where-ever ya'll are journeying.
  19. The Psychic Sea and is it getting dirtier?

    There is no such thing as distance in regard to the nearly infinite "sea".
  20. The Psychic Sea and is it getting dirtier?

    All of it is happening. All is concurrent, omnipresent, and connected, with one and only one exception. In the psychic sea there is: All that was All that wasn't All that is All that isn't All that will be All that won't All.that could be With one exception ( the source ) It's always been there and always will be. You're noticing it. And it's compelling to fixate on it. Just like watching a train wreck. Don't jump in the ocean, if you don't want to get wet.
  21. The Psychic Sea and is it getting dirtier?

    The sea is a metaphor for absolute limitless possibilities. It has no beginnings and it has no endings. In order to fully appreciate it, try imagining an endless sea, then imagine yourself under water. No bubbles. No surface of the water. No ocean floor below you. Only water. Always water. Forever water. Even yourself. You are also water. Water with awareness of all the water and nothing else. That's the "sea" metaphor. The word "psychic" in this context, is not psychic like psychic powers, abilities, siddhis, etc... Instead it is referring to the "psyche" which is a Greek word including and conjoining, mind, soul, and spirit. I usually refer to the psyche using the two words, conjoined, "heart-and-mind". I often include the dashes to indicate they are operating as a unit, as a team, partners. However, these words which I usually choose do not convey the aspects of the psyche which potentially operate and exist beyond the physical body. Putting this together, the Psychic Sea is the total nearly limitless interconnected pool of intellect and emotions including but certainly not limited to what occurs in the human mind. Because it is not limited to the physical body, and it is nearly infinite, and it is surrounding and possessing and infused in all of existence, then, it is a medium, just like water is a medium. It can carry a wave, a ripple, over vast distances. Someone does a "cannonball" those ripples can be observed or felt if an individual is sensitive and paying attention. That's the idea.

    Ok, thanks. Phooey. I suppose begging for table scraps won't do any good?
  23. An odd synchronicity

    Does this mean you're not sharing any tidbits or tasty crumbs you gleaned from the encounter?

    I thought it would be nice to offer more than 'no'. So, I did.

    Complete. Complete. Harmony. Harmony, not everyone singing in unison. Not everyone marching to the same beat. Not a single vibration cleaning out the impurities. Integration without elimination or exclusion. Everything in its proper place. Jesus was pro-order, and anti-chaos. That's the only way to have complete harmony. Nothing is excluded, but, everything has a place and is in its place. Boundaries, territories, laws, punishments. It's all good. Ecclesiastes 3. Turn, turn turn. Complete. Harmony. Complete.
