Alexander Alexis replied to the topic Contemplation on Genes in the forum Philosophy 18 years, 4 months ago
Hi Dog,
As I have come to understand it, our genes hold various patterns that can be chosen and brought into play.
Some things/traits get chosen and others are not. Genes are not determining this themselves, but are turned on or not by some greater awareness. The book I mentioned, The Biology of Belief, by Bruce Lipton talks about this.…[Read more]

“The hipnotee (is that even a word?) is still basically without his will, regardless if you call it black magick or not.”
That’s not true. With a skilled hypnotherapist, the client co-conducts the session. Hypnotherapy is a guidance method that takes a client to deeper levels of awareness to reveal what is under their normal perception so…[Read more]

“i do not KNOW that a chi ball is really having an effect any greater than a nice walk..

This is the context:
“‘Would it be right to say that even these (rapes…) are not evil by themselves, but originate from evil, or are its effects (emanations or something)?’
“Yes, its manifestations. You act the way you have hypnotized yourself to act.”
The original question was “What is evil?”
We all have ourselves…[Read more]

Hi Emelgee,
I think this has gone the distance it needs to. I’m sorry about the heat and pressure. (I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I’m used to it.) I got protective because I felt attacked.
I am not interested in sparring or any of the other war metaphors that have come into this conversation with the (now) four of us. I like…[Read more]

“As for the rest you four (A,W,E,T) were talking about, I just hope it doesn`t turn into a never ending circle, where nothing will really be resolved.”
Not a chance, Peter.

Thanks for your opinions.
“I do find it interesting that we all understand each other. Is that b/c we’re women, or just b/c of our personalities?”
I think it is a combination of the two and that it is the same for men.

Hi Wendy,
Cool that you had a dream about it. So much goes on on different levels. That’s why I said that things are working themselves out through our interactions. I feel that, that’s why I am so effing persistent.
I appreciate your feedback. Thanks. This has been a very helpful exchange, altogether. I normally do not stand on the…[Read more]

As I understand it, “judgement” is an old spelling no longer in use. Do you have an older dictionary? Mine, which is about ten years old, and is almost as big as a small car, uses only the spelling “judgment.”
Be that as it may, what the heck were we talking about before we got fixated?
HA! Alexander

Hi Wendy,
It’s alright with me for Emelgee to participate on her own terms. But when she makes statements about me that are inaccurate I want them straightened out. She and I do NOT agree on certain things. I am very sensitive to this kind of thing. She doesn’t have to converse with me if she doesn’t want to. I am asking questions and making…[Read more]

Alexander Alexis replied to the topic A compressed version of the teaching of the Dalai Lama in the forum Philosophy 18 years, 4 months ago
It seems to me that the center of this issue revolves around the fact that the ego can be either a fluid center for experience, therefore, enlightened, or it can be a resistant, tense structure identified with certain things to the point of its own demise. When one relaxes one becomes fluid, energy moves, meditation happens, and there is…[Read more]

Sorry bro, but that’s not right.
The correct spelling is “judgment”.
To make sure after your call, I looked it up.

Alexander Alexis replied to the topic DNA – Definitely Not All in the forum Philosophy 18 years, 4 months ago
“DNA seems to morph into so many different shapes, always intermediating between the earth and the sun… It’s been around for hundreds of millions of years, and has finally ‘decided’ that it needs to leap off the planet and into space (whether physical or ‘spiritual’ or both) so it’s morphed into a microcosm of itself – *us*… and this cheeky…[Read more]

Aloha, Emelgee,
“Typing/writing – just words. No difference.”
When Truman Capote was asked what he thought of Jack Kerouac’s writing he said: “It isn’t writing. It’s typing.”
Your style of writing sometimes leaves things unclear. I’ve said that sometimes what you say you mean when you write does not sound like what your actual…[Read more]

Very nifty. Thanks. It looks like it is a way to create space which is what happens in true meditation.
I am willing to bet that the direction you cast your eyes – up, down or middle – can affect this practice differently. I say this because of something I learned in a workshop last year (Psych-K). They taught a method of muscle testing…[Read more]

Hello Emelgee,
“Time spent trying to define the undefinable is an entertainment of our “big brains” and we all suffer from it occassionally”
I think this is one of the things that IS definable and should be talked about. If evil is rooted in unconsciousness, then bringing in more consciousness about it will aid us. And talking is…[Read more]

Hi FF,
I enjoyed following this avenue of explanation that you’ve taken and am interested in what you would say about how to deal with a head full of persistent internal dialogue.
