Reminds me of individual thoughts within mind-as-a-whole or Mind Itself. Each thought is a frame that acts as a lens, and cannot fully grasp the whole-shebang. We are like God’s thoughts?

I tend to think that if you connect to a deep zone within your being as you “practice “ the religion, then it probably leads to more personal integration or wholeness, which also lends itself to creating a more harmonious culture. But we have trouble operating from a deep zone, so the...

Being and consciousness appear to converge as we go deep enough to sense Ultimate Reality. One can at least vaguely sense how the Word may become flesh.

Yes, I think we both distinguish between some matter-like or matter-fied version of “mind” being different than whatever Mind-like characteristics God has. I acknowledge that Mind transcends mind. Or Theos transcends mind. But I also think mind is INCLUDED in Mind, and that we have a...

Regarding Thomas referring to what Powesee said (in another thread? I couldn’t find in preceding comments) : “Religion is a trap of the mind.”: Transportation for Transformation Religion is just a horse we ride to change the way we are inside, to go back to the way we were at the start, to...

I like that channeling/conduit of energy concept. It even fits with experiences I have had both in dream state and (one time) in wake state of astral projection. The dream state experiences were less defined, more suggestive, based on dream imagery and feelings. Nonetheless, there is a...

Like an inspirational “word?” Perhaps inspiration as a resource is why Jewish founders chose the word word!?

Something I don’t know about? It’s not about to be terminated is it? That would make me sad, even though my visits here are sporadic. But I seldom only dip into the waters. I like to dive deep when I do visit. A good way to process thoughts and feelings about the spiritual/connective aspects of...

Thomas, thanks for playing in my sandbox with me. While I always bite off way more than I can chew, the above remark is one that I feel I can at least partially digest. I have used terms like Mind Itself to describe the apparent boundless character of mind (as opposed to its mere projections...

I have seen evidence in my dream content that the spirit or soul experiences our body and physical existence as uncomfortably limiting, very often depicted as being in prison. The dream content of passing through a checkpoint (keys or special privileges often required) seems to correlate with...

Remember our Trinity pondering a few months ago? My recent fascination with energy as an object of contemplation led me to the thought that electricity’s “volt” (pressure, raw power) may match The Father. It’s “amps” (rate of flow), the Holy Ghost. And Watts would be akin to spiritual capacity...

Aupmanyav: “Subtle Energy introduces woo.” Suppose overall reality is different at different depths. Quantum science witnesses strange interactions deep inside physical reality. The book Undivided Universe by David Bohm and Basil Hiley called the deeper subatomic substrate “implicate order.”...

Trying to gain favor? Yes, trying can be a block to mindfulness and wholeness. But what if attention to subtle energy is a bridge between material existence and a deeper, different, level/dimension of overall reality? It could be used without being depended on, worshipped. As a gateway to the...

What is woo?

Be open to the possibility his contact from the other side/dimension. Perhaps in dreams or synchronistic signs or in deep feelings or guidance/ nudges. A close friend of mine appeared to make contact with me after death. Even if it is just our imagination, it is nonetheless a meaningful way to...

And what an interesting dream it is!

So happy to see that friends can disagree and still be friends. The masculine aggressive side of me always wants to be correct and win the argument. I have grown tired of that side of me, but to run away from it would not ever sufficiently hide it. It’s there for a good reason (and even if the...

Thomas, To me, your response here seems to concede philosophical Idealism (Mind is ultimate reality) because non-actual universes would have to be in some sort of context or container, and Mind is the best candidate for this. God hasn’t acted on, manifested, all of God’s ideas. Some, perhaps a...

I love it when we take the Carl Sagan view that both science and religion partake of an evolution of thinking/understanding that is more alike than different.
