Re: I think - therefore - I AM
Kulapops,
Rene Descartes was a part of the "Age of Reason" (17th C.) and very much into thinking, which was probably a phase we had to go through. Shakespeare's plays (also 17th C.), contain elements from an earlier more spiritual time, including forest and nature beings and the like. As I see it, we are now returning to a greater connection to our True Nature. You/me/we are Existence, appearing as vibrational energy beings and everything else. Knowing that you are is the only absolute certainty in life and even when your body fades away, you will still know that you are. (You will have a prior, finer body that seems just as real as the one you have now, though that body isn't the Real You either.) It is Existence or Oneness that sees and hears and is aware of thoughts. In a 3000+ year-old Egyptian text contained in "The Kolbrin" aka "Kolbrin Bible", I came across the following with respect to seeing and hearing (paraphrasing): The eyes and ears of a fresh corpse are in perfect condition for seeing and hearing, but cannot see or hear because the Life Force that animates the body is gone. You are the Life Force. (end of referenced material) Because we spend so much time lost in thought, we don't allow our brain synapses to reconnect with the Higher Self/Existence/Oneness/True Nature (whatever you want to call it, the words don't matter). The era we are living in is a good time to reconnect. It may seem boring at first, but the more we allow ourselves to just be, the faster our higher connections will return. (IMO) Last edited by always; 02-16-2010 at 04:16 PM. |

Re: I think - therefore - I AM
I could not agree more!!! Thank you Always, for bringing this up... gosh I wasn't even thinking of it like that. when I wrote the title to this thread, I did so, wanting to peek curiosity and have people come in and look. I really don't know much about Descartes at all and I know without a doubt that we don't need thought to exist. I was simply wanting to remind others that we are creators and one way we create is with thought... that's what I meant by the title. I guess I should have said something like "I think - therefore - I create" this is my first forum experience ever. I am finding it difficult at times to express myself through typing. I already feel limited in my own language let alone trying to convey my thoughts and emotions through the typing of posts. I realize I need to be more specific and direct, even with my humor. I recently wrote "who are Bill and Kerry" on another thread that I thought was getting unnecessarily heavy and I just wanted to lighten it up a bit... I thought my comment was funny. but sure enough it was taken literal which just points out my need to be less obscure in my posting. I started this thread because I want us to be aware and personally responsible of our creations and our thoughts. it was to be about imagination and creation and the power we have to do so. if you don't mind, let me try again with a new title... PROcreate of all the billions of people who populate the earth, you and you alone are capable of creating something unique. whether it’s the ultimate vibrator, a flushable toilet, a lifetime of exquisite paintings or a child; YOU are the only one who carries the blueprints. I figure that all the lies surrounding the creative process have persisted because we've become basically a doubting, disbelieving breed. we have to make up whatever thoughts we can to keep us from doing the work of our dreams, and so the myth persists. I’ve spent many of my years encouraging others to express themselves. I’ve seen people cling to more lies that render them absolutely powerless than I ever thought possible…including myself. there’s no substitute for flying! pursuing a dream would mean too much hard work, too many demanding hours and less security. worst of all, it might mean exposure, and even more mortifying, potential humiliation. yet far more devastating has to be that withering moment at the end of your life when you look up and realize you’ve missed your chance. you settled for mediocrity and will now die alongside all that unrealized potential. by creating and pursuing our dreams comes the chance to represent ourselves in the world in a way that truly matters. YOU are the only one who can make your dreams come true. YOU are the creator. so please, dare to dream dare to be seen to be heard and most importantly… create the reality of your dreams ~ love in you ~ |

Re: I think - therefore - I AM
We are the unending stream of Love that pervades the whole of creation .
Therefore we can bring any situation to a higher state of bliss always . We could'nt imagine peace, oneness and perfection if we did'nt carry it already in our hearts. Thank you Illuminate for shining so bright Love from me mudra |

Re: I think - therefore - I AM
The ultimate vibrator ?
What is that,.. is that something you use for losing weight? Class post Illuminate... this is what I love to hear.. it's music to my ears. Well, put it this way, it resonates.. and we all gravitate towards that which resonates... So I say for those who feel compelled to stock up on food, that's fine.. but this is the direction my heart is taking me. It's blissful. Always... thanks for another great post... this is the only way forward imo... because at a material level there will always be something to be concerned about, over which we have no control. How lousy then not to practice control over the one thing we have control over? Our hearts and minds.... This (avalon) is a great bayou to come and drink from with all the other furry animals of the heart. Welcome, Always. K P.S. And no, Illuminate... don't change your posts, please... stay true to you |
