Yes, I think the soul can be lost to oblivion. I felt that this soul had nearly been lost once.

This video may aid you.

I don't really understand the video. What is the purpose / point of it?

"What change in that force sets it free?" Maybe the binds of non-existence become weakened with existence. The attributing force would possibly be that of willpower and love.

(Side note, Probably don't want to say this to them) I think most of the prophets / dieties were pointing to the same thing, however with different words. The interpretations of these words have lost much of the wisdom throughout the ages, as people used the words as a mechanism of control and ultimately power.

Jesus was a great teacher. Often overlooked, he taught acceptance / tolerance. Micah 4:3-5 "...they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hat spoken it. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever." Mark 9:38-40 "...we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbade him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part." Luke 9:49-50 "...we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us." 1 Corinthians 10:31-32 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, orwhatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:" People assert thier own meaning into his words, as happens with many of the great prophets of the past. Maybe some of these versus can help you.

I didn't know if it was anything new for you or not, hehe. Cleansing tears

Something else than may help in purging the chakra of negative energy would be to show remorse for all of those you have wronged. Try to understand why you did it and don't do it anymore. Otherwise the remorse would have been a lie and you won't be able to truly forgive yourself for it. Once you understand, you can turn it into wisdom. The cycle has to be broken.

"This has made me wonder though why it is that we are in the physical realm of existence?" I think a simple answer could be to observe and experience. If that is not good enough for you, then you must find the answer for yourself. It is similar to asking one what is your destiny.

I think we all have far more in common the the little nuances that create the indivudual perpective.

I agree with TaoMeow on this. Creating a group and calling it something is where the division begins. I am suprised by how many people have a rep to uphold or an image to sustain. I try to get along to everyone equally and not hold a biased perspective or stereotype. It is easier said than done at times though. If you want to fit in with something, try fitting in with nature.

Yeah, I don't know how I can define it without using purely subjective matter. Which definitely wouldn't be accepted by those who choose a materialistic perspective of reality. If you would like to try feel free! This info is free for everyone to use it add to it. I don't need credit for it

Glad I'm immune to this bickering

I think I got duped! I'll have to pay more attention to that.

Have you ever gone bungy jumping or bridge diving? You don't think about it, you just do it. Now is forever, it's always going to be now, so if you don't do it now, you never will.

Perspective. Speak to the ego from that perspective. Speak to individuality from that perspective. It is very hard when you are looking from a perspective of oness and speaking to one that is looking from individuality. I think this is for those who want to teach. So either you bring them to your level or you go to theirs, so that the words will then have the same meaning.

Words can be very tricky. You need to look from the perspective of the ego or individuality when one is speaking from that perspective. Otherwise it can create a mess.

Your intentions will play a big role in your progress. This is about LOVE, not power. Power is just the by product that is given to one with good intentions, to do good. We are all interconnected, and there is no fooling yourself. Look at it like this, you are a single piece of a GIANT puzzle. When you look in the mirror you see only a single piece. That isn't all that you are though. You have to look at all of humanity to see what you are a part of, which is the real you. A single piece that is part of a beautiful image. You can forgo looking from the perspective of a single piece and look from the perspective of the entire image. That single piece is what many would call the ego. It can be useful at times, although more often than not, it is creating the illusion that you are alone. I don't know if this is what you wanted to hear, but it will give you something to ponder and hopefully to help you look at the bigger picture. You can be that single piece, as well as the entire picture. Both have thier uses, but you need to be able to control both of them equally. Progress isn't made through intellectualization, it is by 1st hand experience through what you feel. Once you fully FEEL what you are, you can begin to ponder your powers It takes dedication, determination and most of all will power. You must 1st awaken your spirit to manifest your true being. The best way I have found and my path, was with the Yogi descriptions of Kundalini. I am sure there are other ways, although one can only truly know the path they have traveled. Direct experience. There is no one you need to trust other than yourself and what you feel. Feelings are the 6th sense that is often not recognized by the acedemics, but should be. I hope you read this and learn something.

This reminds meof how some say that it is not to be intellectualized, then go on and try to explain it

Thanks for the great info! Maybe one day, I too will be able to notice the rocks energy.

I see it like the grain of a tree. I see the body as a nexus which is a culmination of all these grains. Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Heart. All of these exist within us. The negative energy is considered an aspect by some, but I consider it just void of any energy.

I always walk around barefoot, if it isn't too cold and I'm not traveling. It does feel nice

Unfortunately the earth doesn't ground me too well. Only big hardwoods seems to have great effect. The tree would say the rock is mu. maybe the energy is just waaaay to slow to notice it? I actually found a boulder that looks like it has a fossil in it and brought it to the tree. He doesn't mind that it's by him but says it doesn't do anything. You can see it in a miss click photo I took. I am going to break it open and see if there is a fossil eventually.
