Beauty follows a mathematical model to which we respond the closer to the model the more beautiful something appears sacred geometry and all and we are wired for it so... whatever some of the most recognized master works of art are based on sacred geo, golden ratio Pi and Phi Nature Humans seem to be the odd ones out? every other creature appears to be naturally beautiful consistently how could one say one blue bird is more beautiful than another blue bird? my guess is poor diet resulting in the corruption of DNA or perhaps one physicality is an expression of ones consciousness? @ face value? She has a kind face and generally she has a kind heart too ? and so on?

that would make him me

well to be honest I wouldn't mind either depending on whether it is time for tea or time for raving hahah ... time in relation to feeling + the difference being one is raving or one is drinking tea the only thing that would remain unchanged would be ones state of mind i assume

Id rather have tea and a good conversation Everyone has a different Buddha nature

awesome!

I believe there is a difference / feeling about these types of dreams they are set apart from the usual / for myself much more rare as Astralc also mentioned precognition dreams - meeting his future wife etc

if ppl werent interested in these topics they wouldnt go... something appeals to the collective in terms of aliens the rest is perhaps fear mongering + distorted perceptions of ET life why would the rest of the universe be any different or so different to Earth life? On this planet we have both good and bad ... both with or without high tech why not the rest of the universe + if the high tech good ETs are anything like buddhism we are all fkd hahah they will leave us to the slaughter ... too busy generating good merit and non violence etc i think these say it all The evil of the world is made possible by nothing but the sanction you give it. Ayn Rand (1905 - 1982), Atlas Shrugged, 1957 The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles. Ayn Rand (1905 - 1982), Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, 1966 All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797)

I have seen it - visually = awesome... loved the opening scene the movie does pose the question who are we? where did we come from? why are we here? its a bit of fun I wouldnt take it too seriously - as all things worth the watch I think if your interested in ref to Owls post in most of these films it would seem humans though not as smart or advanced still seem to transcend these obstacles and themselves / overcoming the near impossible so perhaps the worst things bring out the best in us? proving the true essence of what it is to be human / pushing us beyond the limits of what we think we are capable of what if the aliens represented demons? ... as satan was... in the Hebrew tradition an agent of God... not a rebel... sent to test man, revealing his true characters... I suppose it is kind of the Joker thread / or the archetype of the trickster etc

Is the spiritual path escapism? not wanting to face this reality ... wanting to return back to the womb? or eternal womb? all this talk of softness and nothingness etc? is everyone here in the fetal position sucking their thumb? In ones short travels I guess I have come across a number of 'broken' folks hiding away seeking 'enlightenment' or whatever damned if we do damned if we don't? the meek (weak) shall inherit the earth? the 10 commandments coming from a Catholic background to be honest I didn't see much difference with say Buddhism just a different skin perhaps from what I can see for the most part all religions make people slaves + sinners more or less / very confused slaves haha repent Buddhists bows to golden statues Muslims forehead to the ground Christians to a bloody man nailed to cross and so on I think the Christian image - man nailed to a cross says it all a fitting image i think for humanity in general // religions + corporations + governments = man nailed to a cross like the inverted pentagram is actually Man inverted Mans divinity beings stripped away ... hidden etc Man being totally dis empowered Yield MAN, yield to me forever funny thing considering recent Queens UK 60th jubilee .... people celebrating? wtf - 'subjects' of her 'majesty' and they yell and cheer.... do people like being slaves?

Hey Astralc cool post I also was killed in the 'Holy War' haha I was a Templar knight in the desert somewhere... was surrounded and game over haha (vivid dream) maybe we fought together? most of the dreams I would deem possible past life memories generally involve the time surrounding the death of that life... the trauma perhaps having a heavy imprint... or the message of life after life... etc

great post Wayki I was getting off track slightly too "all you do on your spiritual path is to help other souls." aye - I am very tired of all the hypocrisy, contradictions and BS that comes with every religion (control) government (control) + corporation (control) ... I don't really see a difference in these things anymore.. speaking generally which brings me to the conclusion the only path is my path somebody posted before - if you look at the bitter state of the world etc etc you will become bitter etc so don't worry about it just think happy thoughts la la la ha ha ha (more or less) is willful ignorance worse than ignorance? I suppose one may be bitter at the start.. which turns to anger which turns to action eventually one skips bitter and anger etc and goes straight to action i think this is apart of the control though... suppress all emotion that would lead to action, compassion/ empathy making the world a better place... 60% of the world is starving to death as you read this... and how many folks are just staring into space? or just watching TV all in a trance... oh yeh but thats their karma so they deserve to suffer... who ever said reincarnation was real anyway? another control device keeping people in a state of fear? does having the belief in reincarnation make you reincarnate? so all those folks are in a state of fear trying to get out of hell... so they dont have to come back to hell... see Christians say if you are not good you go to hell - Buddhism says you already are in hell and you have to do this and this and this to get out of hell... so everyone is chasing this dream of getting out of hell while they are chasing this dream of getting out of hell, they are creating hell

good post thanks

I swear it originally said bend trees - not bend with trees I may have misread though

People don't want force, they want ease. They want softness, they want light ease comes with power ... how ever you define power... you missed my last sentence...about the 'meek' bending trees... and myself considering that as power if i practice one pointed concentration that is power growing in concentration = concentrated awareness = bending 'reality' mind over matter = power and after awhile effort becomes no effort... force becomes ease... concentration becomes 'softness' ... as light is soft? but it can also burn like a laser or fire... water is soft but its power is in it flexibility and persistence etc ... ive seen water cut through steel the rest, all good points

Well Christianity is not a white mans religion... Christianity came out of the middle east a branch off the Jewish tradition. The European 'white' people followed similar shamanic traditions 40'000+ years old as what would now be considered 'native' cultures though the white man is no longer native to anywhere, no roots, no culture, no ancestors etc truth be told the white mans culture has been completely wiped off the face of the earth a number of folks here have even tried to look back to the ways of their ancestors finding only fragments ... everything burned + under the threat of death some converted... some fought to the death what ever came out of the middle east was intent upon destroying all true knowledge / parasitic thing that it is... ate away the soul of the white man and replaced it with Christianity + a large portion of the globe other cultures talk about genocide etc...the white culture was destroyed so long ago now its completely forgotten I think the only reason the white man believes this stuff is because everything else has been stripped away though the seems to be a pagan/ shamanic revival happening you can't suppress whats in the blood for too long... or an attempt of sorts I think the Chinese have made a good decision in regards to that

ok - make people spontaneously cut through all their delusions with a glance, and they too then have the power + spread empathic understanding like wild fire... the rest should sort itself out

I was trying to think of something though I don't believe you can have God like powers without God like intelligence soo i am beat hah

hmm - good point see a lot of conflicting statements in my own ^ though I think this conflict will eventually lead somewhere haha this suffering though willed as i asked for the Truth and what ever that would take sooo ... just have to keep breaking it down I guess EDIT: see... why must one suffer for the truth? what is with that... maybe thats what it takes to wake us up // shake us up but from what? meh haha is it super ego to think one can even reach enlightenment or even realize any kind of ultimate truth haha to even pursue such things say ego EDIT: but fk ego I dont even care for this BS concept of what should and shouldnt be real or not real uno I think enlightenment is more about peoples desire for power the concept of enlightenment really is about power and why shouldn't is be? and i think power is about freedom thats why I laugh at this meekness ... are people deluding themselves? or pretending? its all about power and the power to be free as above stated something about being meek and bending trees... that is power that is not meekness I think everyone is feeling guilty for wanting to be powerful... wanting to be divine... too sacred / edit scared LOL to realize their godliness ... oh little me... poor me etc etc what are we playing at? EDIT: hah interesting "mistake" are we too scared to be sacred? whats in a word? scared or sacred? as Alan Watts said "Come off it SHIVA!" who are you kidding?

we think we should do this or we should do that or we should not be this or not be that... but what is it that thinks these things? where do these thing come from in the first place?

I think everything is where it needs to be as it is and as it will be

so pure self recognizes that everything is true and false = unlimited

ok - i made a mistake it would seem not everything is escapism I had some trance music on sometime ago which i neglected / paused for a couple hours after this^^^ i just pressed play and just felt like dancing and it was fun to dance / move therefore fun joy celebration in movement 'spontaneous arising' everything is spontaneous arising which includes desires why is one so compelled to move to the beat? to the rhythm etc? it would seem the self is an obstruction to spontaneous arising aka the rhythm of life? because self doesn't trust in the rhythm of life and fights it no self self finds joy in getting out of the way or flowing with the river i am going to change "no self" to pure self as opposed to obstructed self

good point - thats what i was kind of figuring too everything is escapism so what isnt? everything is desire so what isnt? those who say no desire = fail

do you know of an immortal i can speak to? i would like to why not the wise shall inherit the earth? what is reality? I dont think there are any answers so perhaps one shouldnt ask the questions
