Why do you have to disrespect my friend Yoda like this? Do you not know he is a MONKEY AND A GEMINI?! I don't even really know what that means but my guess is it makes things like trying the newest supplements and practices his LIFESBLOOD. Don't mind her dude! Trying new supplements and practices isn't a waste of time! *secretly mostly agrees with Karen*

So as not to alienate myself from my Tao brothers Yoda and Sean O, here is one of my teachers from Sedona(Nirmalas wife) Gina Lake who channels a "mid causal plane" being named "Theo". Sean was interested in doing a cruise with the Hick's(Ask and it is Given popular book author) and when I was joking round about how that is an ego based approach Sean replied that he was going to do something bad to me(which I won't repeat becasue woman and children read this board). So, as a peace offering to my manifesting manifestor approach brothers enjoy Theo. It's the 3rd link down on Nirmals like here called "Moving from Ego to Essence". Enjoy! Nirmala link

I just don't have a clue. I will probably do a day intensive with Gina and Nirmala in a few weeks. I have already sat with Nirmala several times. Very simple advaita stuff. He always points me back to simple awareness..what is true right here, right now. From what I heard already on the sample satsang I don't think anything Gina aka THEO is saying sounds dangerous. I don't know about channeling as a whole as I am not really into it. Will report back my experiences with THEO on this thread next month.

Excellent! LB

Beautiful.

Dear Sean, I don't have a clue. Best, Clueless Cam

My enlightenment to do list: 1. Stop doing -Nirmala

I don't know much about how channeling works but from what little I have heard from Gina I like. Sorry about your coffee..I'll buy you another cup.

I know your way ahead of this I posted this for my Tao brothers Sean and Yoda who are still on the ego manifestation channeling trip!!!!! *totally kidding*

I think it's somewhere a little above where Esther channels from. *kidding*

Yes..this gets back to where I said I just prefer to use the word truth. Truth is truth. There can't be two truths can there? The idea is ridiculous. Where I think Taomeow and I had a little misunderstanding is she thought I was projecting some conceptual truth voer all of existance where in reality I am more interested in what Taoists talk about. "The Tao which can be spoken is not the Tao." Let's just say it just IS. WHATEVER IT IS. ps .actually now that I think about it she was responding to another poster .I mean..the idea she was brining up that yes there may be fundamental unity but also difference .This is totally in line with both Zen, Adveitic and Taoist teachings I think. It's not all a bland soup what Advaitists call the SELF loves this variety and of course creation is full of variety. There are many different notes on the piano but it's still the piano..or something.

Yup..that's what I get from you. A deep appreciation for the details. Totally cool with me .And I certainly dont' have any argument there. Ime thinking seeing the bigger picture would be a nice healthy thing for most people. But what do I know. Totally..yeah I get what your saying. Just want to see both perspectives. The dual and the non dual and the aspect that embraces both..the balance. namaste.

ahhhh..boats with sides and people with opinions..all for fun..hell I don't even know what Ime talking about anyway, namaste.

I wouldn't say I disagree with anything Taomeow has said. You can still have different universes, different types of sentient beings with different sensory perceptions, and it still be all "one". I guess what I am saying is everything is the universe. Everything is included in the universe. Everything lives and has it's being in God, in THE ALL. There isn't even a side to take or opinion because both sides and both opnions are also the one. I guess I am talking about the "bigger picture" rather than the details. Not at all saying the detials arent important..but I think seeing the "bigger picture" is much more important.

Cool stuff. Maybe the bee and the cat have different perceptions than we do but let's not deny cause and effect. That we all share this planet together and as I beleive you have said before humans have basically wiped out certain species of animals. You can use negativity to illestrate the truth of oneness as easy or maybe even easier than positive metaphors. We all influence one another. We are part of the same system even we don't see or percieve it in it's totality.

I definetly dont' thing there is an "ego problem" involed. It's all good. Use whatever terms you like .Just saying we all breathe the same air, you know? Fundamentally there is one Spirit moving through all creation whatver you want to call it. I mean..there is one Earth we both stand on, one Sun shining on us(and many shining elsewhere) one beautiful moon. That's all Ime saying. Fundametally it's all one. The sun is the sun and the moon is the moon they each have there unique beauty and energy. But they occupy the same sky

I just prefer to use the word truth. Truth is truth. Reality is what it is. Yeah?

I will be consciously eating some apples this weekend because of this post. I'll probably just attack it like some saber toothed tiger or something and not ge tinto all the details. namaste.

Mercy..(means thank you in farsi).

Umm...I don't think I have said anything in this thread, have I?

edit.
