Everything Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) ... ... is detrimental to any true progress and inquiry... ... If this isn't the case, please narrate to us certain experiences and/or rationality that have given rise to these observations. Hmm, the direct experience that everything is made up of unconditional love. The experience of being in love with everything around me, as love and being loved by everything. Everything radiating love. Me, becoming unconditional love and loving everything without reason. Just because that is who I am. Which lead to the conclusion that 1+1=1 so I see how I might seem a bit "rebelious" in my ability to choose my own believes, etc. Â There is no "progress" in the egotistical sense when you live from a place of unconditional love. We are free to be free. Free to be more of who we really are. Not "trying to change" that little which we allow at the moment. Rather, allow yourself to become more of yourself as your true progress. Â Especially synchronistic experiences that most people call "manifestations" and personality shifts that most people call "multiple personality disorder." I'd say, based on my experience, it was an experience of synchronistic perception, coupled with a multiple personality order, and a re-membering of subconscious parts of all that I am and the multi dimensionality of who I truely am. In a sense, the result of inclusion and not exclusion. The experiences of expansion and not contraction. Also downloads of information from higher sources.

Everything Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) where one's desired fascinations triumph over reality and free fall interpretations become bloated as truths. yeah, thats a pretty accurate description of my experiences  It sounds so "triumphant" That is really how it fellt at first, as if I had won the battle with my ego. Now I love the ego into being and sooth it into loving. Edited June 28, 2012 by Everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted June 28, 2012 Now I love the ego into being and sooth it into loving. Be careful with that one. It can be overdone, you know. (I know.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everything Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Well said. Harsh reality. Sometimes people believe that reality is harsh, and having faith is a dangerous thing. Yet, when they have to face a loving, supporting, kind reality, they automaticly practice faith in the harsh reality, with great mastery. Â Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe. Edited June 28, 2012 by Everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harmonious Emptiness Posted June 28, 2012 Without commenting on the entirety of the OP and creating reality by faith, I think faith is simply the opposite of fear. When you fear something, you have the feeling that something will go bad even though it hasn't happened. Faith is feeling that things will go well even though they haven't yet. I think when people associate faith with belief they think it something that people do because they were told to, but that definition is so self-limiting it is actually quite absurd, and often based on what some skeptic told them to think anyways .

Lucky7Strikes Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Im not clear on what the 'dangerous' aspect of that attitude is either. I know plenty of Christians who might also fall into that category of mindset. They seem OK Stosh It's dangerous because it limits your potential for true knowledge of reality because you are content in mere faith based vision of the world. But the danger part is that it spreads beliefs as if they are facts. People who come upon it, only seeing the structure valid, believe it is also real without investigating how that knowledge has come about. In this case, Everything admits its intuitive guess work. Well someone else may have a different intuitive guess work. So we have opposing beliefs with no foundation in reality besides, "I believe." Â This is basically why we have conflict in the world. What you think vs. what I think. So it's dangerous. Â Christians are not doing ok. They believe and other religions believe something else. So Christians create a lot of unnecessary conflict just as well as any other religious beliefs. Edited June 28, 2012 by Lucky7Strikes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Everything Posted June 28, 2012 Are you saying outright that there is no factual basis on which you are believing this stuff? Exactly. The believe came first, then the factual basis showed itself to me. Personal evidence. I do not believe because of the evidence that I have received. I have received the evidence, because I have believed. Yet, the evidence was always there, so I did not create it. I just became more receptive to the evidence as I started believing it.
