Hi Barry,

I read your article with interest.

It sounds like you are having an enriching experience despite any struggle,
just don’t disconnect from the body so much that you lose your ground!

As far as your comments on control, what do you mean by control?
If control means forcing, then that probably is not what you want.
If control…[Read more]

I like an interesting discussion, so don’t take offense
when I want to differ with you somewhat 🙂

While I think that what you are saying is also somewhat true,
I don’t think that it is the whole picture.

My initial comment about what was happening in the “bank teller example” is
really only AFTER the fact.

For the most part, when I…[Read more]

Thanks to all of you for your insightful advice . . .

@All responders
It is good to hear that some of you have experienced this before, and it is good
to know that some of the later practices, i.e. Fusion, Kan and Li will prove beneficial in this regard. I suppose patience is the key here, as Rome wasn’t built in a day 🙂

Due to…[Read more]

Hi Michael,

Questions 1 and 3 make perfect sense now; thanks!

Question 4: Oh, OK–no problem. I’ll get there eventually. I can wait until then.

My only difficulty resides with Question 2.

As to question 2 and its answer:

2. On a personal, individualistic level, how does one cause change without
interfering with…[Read more]

As for whether I’m improving myself or discovering myself, I’m not sure.
I guess it boils down to understanding myself.

Are the changes I seek merely reflections of some societal ideal, or are they reflections on what my soul seeks to be in its more unencumbered form? Am I being Mr. Fix-it, or am demonstrating my inner will? I guess I would…[Read more]

The fifth force may just be the lambda force.

Here is an interesting article involving the lambda force that describes a new cosmological theory in which the universe itself is in a cyclical “Taoist” life-death cycle

if you hover your cursor over the picture and right click on it, and
then do “save as”, you should be able to save the .jpg file.

At least I was able to–not sure about your browser

I agree with much of your assessment . . .

Unfortunately, I’m rather attached/in love with this life that I have and this particular frequency of Earth. I don’t really have any interest in seeing it change–at least at this point. There is too much I feel I want to do in this playground right now. This is a major reason why I feel like any…[Read more]

It was clear to me, and probably to most other people, the
lighthearted nature of your original comment, and your reaction
was understandable as well.

No worries.

With love,
Steven

It’s likely that global warming is caused by a combination of factors.

1. Yes, the planet is probably warming because we are coming out of an ice age.

2. Yes, the planet is probably warming because the sun is having an effect (after all, the sun is close to 10,000 deg F, so a slight change can have a dramatic effect since we live in an…[Read more]

Hello all,

Just a few observations . . .

1. YES, Alexander’s comments were valuable.

I appreciate different points of view, and sincerely do have an open mind!
It’s never bad to see things from another angle.

2. YES, Alexander was being somewhat arrogant in his posts.

There are plenty of times when I’m in arrogant mood too, so…[Read more]

It’s such a wonderful experience when you get used to it.

In fact, I never have the radio on when I drive.
I really enjoy it, because it almost becomes a meditative experience.

It’s kind of funny, because last summer I took a long road trip with a friend,
he brought his IPOD, because he knows I prefer the quiet.

It was fantastic. I…[Read more]

You’re absolutely right, and I should learn to accept it!

It just makes me kind of sad inside.

It’s kind of like being a pot smoker with pot smoking buddies. Then you give it up, and become a happier person. Then spending time with your old pot smoking buddies just isn’t fun anymore, because you no longer get enjoyment out of smoking pot,…[Read more]

It definitely sounds as if you’re making progress.

Sometimes it’s hard to see on a day-to-day basis, but any sincere
effort yields long-term rewards.

I suspect that your log is very cathartic, and you will value
it even more as time goes on–for then you will have the opportunity
to look back on where you were and realize what you’ve…[Read more]

I agree wholeheartedly, although this definitely takes some cultivation! 🙂

Let me expound a bit more on what I was saying earlier.

What I was referring to, is that a number of people I interact with–at least in my mind–use sensory/auditory stimulation excessively.

This excessive use I feel is an AVOIDANCE tactic–a way to escape from…[Read more]
