Daniel

Something I was taught, which helped me: Manifestation begins at the bottom. Emanation begins at the top. Both are happening simultaneously. The "lower nature" is rising. The "higher-Self" is falling. It's counter-intuitive, in practice. Going down, is going up. If one is attempting to work with the lower-nature, it needs to be lifted to a higher-purpose. Conversely, if one is working with the higher-Self, descending into the essence of one's being is the path to the divine.

The story that is told, in my faith community, begins: "Don't say water-water..." when crossing over. It's a riddle. Explaining it, sabotages it. The more it's discussed, the more difficult it is, when confronted with an endless sea ( divinity, Ein-Sof ), not to associate it with water. If the mind wraps around it, as if it's water, the consciousness immediately returns to here-and-now, the material realm. I suppose each individual will perceive differently, depending on their cultural context and cultivation practice. The guardian is not a being, it's a cognitive trap which interrupts the psyche and rejects it, like a bouncer at a bar, from contemplating something which is "unnatural", foreign, and dangerous.

I noticed too. Seems to be better today. Nice to see you @ralis, btw. You may or may not remember me.

( I'm sorry for posting in your thread Nungali. You said you were taking a holiday from Daniel. And. It was a stupid question anyway. )

Greetings, In an effort to address and prevent thread derailment, I am starting this thread to collect and respond to questions about me.

I have. I don't think I'd like it. I prefer lush, rain forest. Valleys, and meadows.

If you're asking for volunteers, I'll go first. But I need to warn you, Mr. Reverse Geyser, I cause indigestion.

We can schedule it so that we're not in the same place at the same time.

Blaming Jews is nutty. Blaming humanity is not.

I would never

I like Maui.

Many blessings to you! ( finally )

Your roll-back is accepted. It's OK to have nutty ideas as long as the individual adjusts their view as needed and appropriate.

I'm sure the staff will love to listen to all of your complaints. ^^ Sarcasm ^^

You did. Your thread, in the first post, intentionally attacks Jews, accusing us of cultural appropriation, twisting and massaging history.

It's important to read the quote and the reply in order to understand what was written.

Yes, I quoted your posts. You probably don't remember.

I was not referring to this thread.

Your necessity to relearn your own history has nothing to do with me.

It's not affronted. It's a fact. That's what you wrote in the thread.

Thank you. Yes. The thread is about attacking Jews.
