My mind is not easily turned by ideas without the consent of my inner being (hard to describe), but if I feel something, and it all feels right, that is what I will go on. Maybe it was just a ball lightning, who knows. I'm open to ideas. Well said! Some level of scepticism is good with these things. But it is far more important also to be open to ideas. If we shut ourselves because we got few different set of opinions and suggestions, it may not take one anywhere. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've just never gotten around to do it! Is that walk one you recommend? Do you find the possibility of making such a pilgrimage towards your possibly future home to be appealing? ☮️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daemon Posted August 1, 2018 19 minutes ago, ilumairen said: :sigh: Yes, it may appear contradictory - dependent upon individual understanding. I possibly just lack your intellectual stature. Perhaps you could therefore explain (in reasonably simple terms) whether or not my understanding of your belief system is correct? You appear to believe that you need a someone to transmit some thing to you that's in that individual self's possession but which is not already in your individual self's possession? That explanation negates the existence of a universal self. If that's the case, perhaps you also have an explanation of how the first individual gained possession of whatever thing it is that you believe needs to be transmitted to others? As an aside (and in the interests of not wasting any more time on this off-topic cul-de-sac), perhaps I should disclose that, from my perspective, I find it useful to turn to Occam in these situations in order to avoid this logical fallacy. So, in the absence an explanation that negates the simpler and more practically useful model (that the Light is already present in everyone and that It cannot be controlled by any individual), I'll continue to consider that you've just bought into some needy patriarch's narcissistic hubris. Alternatively, perhaps we could just agree to walk silently in opposite directions (perhaps allowing ourselves to sigh silently to ourselves in the ensuing Silence if either of us finds that to be helpful)? ☮️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ilumairen Posted August 1, 2018 :giggling: I posted a bit of clarification regarding transmission in my ppd. And we can continue a discussion there, if you'd like. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
