The fact that we have bodies is a good indication of just how much we are in delusion here on this earth plain.
Hi Steve :^)
But wouldn't that delusion then be serving a purpose? This is something that occurred to me some many years ago and has
been foremost in my thoughts as of the last year or so. Perhaps one of the purposes in being here is to create in comparative
slow motion. If we consider that on the "other side" that thoughts are truly things, and that an undisciplined thinker would create
with some abandon.... then enter into a physical environment, where physicality itself is essentially slow mo.
There are of course the inner workings of our emotional connectivity and the layer upon layer of associations and both positive
appearing and negative attachments, but it's been appearing to me for some time that we'll be selling ourselves short if we just
go with the spiritually traditional mind-set that all is delusional, so therefore of little value?
If you can stop your thoughts for 6 seconds or your breath stops naturally you will enter into a bliss that is your true nature.
I know this may sound odd, but have you ever come face to face with your oversoul? And in this case I mean literally.
One of the pagan principles, back-when, before Christianity re-wrote what we now think of as pagans, was to develop within,
to the point where one would come face to face with your own oversoul. I had this experience once, and it was only in reading
a book on the subject of pre-christian paganism, that I have seen this type of encounter actually being addressed.
In this case it was early morning... I had been sleeping and woke-up quite intensely and staring not only with my eyes, but with
my heart, by soul, my being, directly into the eyes of myself. These eyes that I were looking into were that of pure light, the face
surrounding it was my face, but was also that of pure light, I knew me-to-be-me, for I-was what it-was, and this energy was "I".
There was something else which came with that which was intuitively most-knowing. That this me that was my body was not
real.... but what was also evident was that my presence here was intentional, because the I-that-was-I could absorb the me-of-
this-body without a blink.
I've been out of body before, the last time was about 8 months ago, so I know what that's like.... this wasn't it.... this me-that-was-I
was my destiny. I knew that then, before coming across any teachings. It was one of those experiences that's had me looking deep into
spirituality ever since.
I've come to like being in body because I know this is for only a moment. If we unhesitantly embrace what we're going though it tends to feel so much better! :^)
