They were female Freemasons. And I did not ask them about tree spirits. I just recognized the body type: tall, thin, sexually ambiguous - so I tried an experiment.

My own observations and experiments For example at a conference I spotted two young women that had physical bodies of the type tree spirits make when they are human. So I approached them separately and asked: Do you like being human? Both instantly replied: No!!

Is the emotional love of mothers important for the development of children?

I wonder if mothers have the same view

Here the very modern word "God" is being used in two meanings. "pure in heart" refers to inner spiritual growth. On the other hand: Exodus 33:11 Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend." Thus the Lord was physical and seen by Moses who related to him as to a humanoid. The Lord threatened death to other humans that saw him. I suspect acne

What do you deduce from that repeated experience?

Some humans have direct experience. They do experiments after they speculate on their experiences It seems that not all humans are the same

It may be easier to consider the universe as a biological entity with meridian flows and Intent. Are the gods then bacteria in the digestive system of the Universal Being? Since humans can control their consciousness and unfold their spirituality, to which universal functions may humans aspire?

On High has various meanings depending upon one's religion or metaphysical science. In some traditions the gods are very tall (giants/titans) with the oldest god being the tallest - the Most High. In many societies it is statistically common to pay higher salaries to taller humans - since they are looked up to. And royalty are often referred to as "your highness". The alien gods traveled in craft such as the vimana and thus could see everything from above - the all-seeing eye. In metaphysical science there are more subtle planes of Existence: physical, emotional, mental, buddhic, atmic, etc. The more subtle planes have higher frequencies so that energies condensed from higher planes come from On High. There are more possible meanings involving parallel timepaths

It is not that the enlightened human has no volition. It is that the enlightened human has no personal volition. The personality is transformed so the Light and Intent from on-high can be acted upon by the enlightened human. The son/daughter of God is thus delegated some of the family business - and is delegated more authority when they demonstrate they can use effectively the spiritual authority given to them initially

At the risk of stating the obvious: enlightenment occurs when the spiritual Light can flow through the human personality without significant constraint. This is a state of inner planes physics. The flow requires proper/clean physical, emotional and mental bodies. There are various fast and slow means for clearing those bodies. Right relationship is the easiest means in this solar system. Repeated rebirth is the fall-back process

Does the Absolute experience Itself as featureless? If so, how does manifested Existence occur?

In the natural Earth human, the Cosmos provides a vertical stream of Light that anchors in the head producing consciousness and in the heart producing life force and allowing resonance with Divine Intent. Most Earth humans have interferences with that stream of Light - some self-generated, some self-attracted, and some imposed. Not all people are natural Earth humans The unimpeded flow of Light is central to humans taking on cosmic functions

I understand the theory. But when I compare the theory to my own experience of the Cosmos, the theory seems at best rather partial. Perhaps Reality is not binary.

What might be the top-down view?

I found the personal death exercise very useful. For example I knew well a woman whose mother had dementia and had been in a nursing home for a decade. I asked the woman if it was time her mother moved on. She agreed so we asked the mother's personal death to take her. Nothing happened. A year later, we tried again and the mother was gone within the week.

In the Castaneda writings Don Juan tells us of our personal death entity that stands just behind our left shoulder. In my very limited experience, if the entity: - looks into the distance, death is far off - bends down to look into the human's face, death is coming closer - is trying to pull the human out of its body, death is within a few days. On occasion it may be possible to discourage the death entity. Kicking it in the shins seemed to work at least once. If there is no death entity in place, then it may be that the human is immortal.

First stage enlightenment requires control of physical desires, emotional desires and mental thoughts. You can observe your own behaviour for reaction and uncontrolled process. Or if you can manage your consciousness at subplane level, you can test yourself on each subplane. As a non-measurement exercise, it is useful to observe how large is the anchoring of cosmic light in the heart

My observation is that group karma exists separately from personal karma - and can be dealt with separately Mostly, establishing right relationship is sufficient for the Lipika Lords to entertain applications for removal

Is suffering an arbitrary function attached to humans and various animals? Or is suffering part of a larger process? As a somewhat trivial example: Long long ago I had a dream in which I was in a prison camp - and gradually realised that my skin colour was much darker there. Someone in the camp broke a rule and I was punished instead. I thought it most unfair. When I awoke I asked my inner planes friends what that was about. They replied: "When someone in a group breaks the rules, it does not matter which member of the group receives the punishment" More recently I have observed that karma follows lines of least resistance in the group. The suffering falls on whichever members are convenient. So I have stopped complaining about unfair events. Is there a cosmic group to which Earth humanity belongs? If so, we have to take whatever karma is most conveniently worked out upon us. And as it happens I am currently a party to a legal case when I certainly had no intent of runnning up against the much more powerful antagonist. So, mentally I have written off a large lump of cash and mentally moved on. I must be more careful about joining groups with obvious karmic issues.

It may be that there are layers of will/volition so that the will of the personality (persona = mask) needs to be brought under control and refined to become the servant of a higher layer of will. With higher will (atma and beyond) operational the human may take up its functional roles in the unfolding of Existence/Reality. Or is the human is purely decorative?

>Are we human, or are we animals with intellect? Clearly we are animals because we are animated. I saw a video of a crow wanting to get food from the bottom of a tall bottle. The crow flew off and came back with a long piece of wire that it then bent into a suitable hook and fished out the food. How old would a human child be to do that? It may be better to consider animals as our younger brethren. >Does a human have virtue, where-as animals with intellect have vice? I have observed possessed humans and possessed animals. For each human and animal I would want to test before coming to a conclusion Do binary questions limit answers?

The nature of Earth humanity's dharma may unfold over the ages, as those humans step out of their karmic shadows and rest their intent upon becoming transparent to Cosmic Light. My observation of humans born after 1995 is that they have a much clearer recognition of their joint responsibility to care for the planet and its life forms. There is also some suggestion that humans that cannot step up to that responsibility are being re-born on systems more suited to their choices.

During the sign of Pisces the natural spiritual path for humans was monastic, solitary, introspective. Now we are coming into the sign of Aquarius "" Of all the zodiac signs, Aquarius is undoubtedly the most innovative, progressive, rebellious, and humanitarian.... they also have an often overlooked sensitive side that requires appreciation, support, and love. " Does human spiritual practice change with the cosmic cycle?

It might be better to focus on the control and refinement of the human's energies: - physical/etheric - emotional - mental - heart. When this is accomplished, and other precondtions met (e.g. alignment with systemic intent) the human, now at second stage enlightenment, may be offered immortality. In some cases immortality may be offered to humans at first stage enlightenment but so far this seems rare. How is the state of immortality to be detected?
