Dont Blink!

[Alaskans]

First of all I'd like to say thank God for people who ask questions and look for answers,  :IloveU:  ALL! (I can be a guy and  use hearts, cause I'm an Alaskan :tongue2: )  Spiritualism saved my soul, I went from spirit vampirism to giving my own. Ignorance isn't bliss, its only a quick fix, like so many things 'mogles' hold onto. I believe that the only way there could be a Utopia is if everyone shared in the knowledge and understanding that we have. I believe spiritualism is the way the world was meant to be. Through the millennia we have been forced to focus our minds on material things to pay for a blind kings more expensive material things, until we are all blind and miserable. The basis of blindness is envy, does that sound like a reason to create the cosmos? When all is done and one gets that porche he spent his life saving up for, what spiritual fulfillment will he have when he dies and sees it fading away down that tunnel? My point is, the universe is the beginning and nothing can be the ending but the advancement of our souls. This may include paying some attention to the physical world.
I'm so damn glad to be one of the people with his eyes wide open. But I wish it wasn't a club, but a globally accepted idea.

Often times I'm asked to explain reality. I wish I could just suddenly open their minds and hearts. I would talk for hours on a subject that will go over their head anyways, they have to draw conclusions themselves. Even if it were possible for someone to realize everything at once from a totally blinded state, they would go crazy. I thought of this to help them on their way.

The first step to enlightenment is to be accepting and logical of all things and to know that you know little.

I might go into the thought process too. 1.) Always look at something from every view, but beware of people who are blind and try to disprove just to keep their eyes shut. 2.) Examine all evidence, often there is some truth in all of it. 3) Connect as much as you can under one idea, there is always a source of multiple effects.

Maybe we can't open the worlds eyes, but we can at least try to tell them that their eyes are shut.

Oh yea, I had my first on purpose OBE June 26 11:30pm! :meditate:

First off, welcome to the forums, and I hope you enjoy our random discussions!

People speak of enlightenment as a sudden, perhaps inspirational influx of massive understanding. Ironicly enough, this sort of understanding generally includes the realization, as you have pointed out, that we know very little at all, and after this inundation of greater connectedness with the world, of all things we have the feeling of knowing less!

Final enlightenment (if that is possible   ) cannot come without the stringent evalutaiton of the self- while we go about our daily lives, we are all guilty of being ignorant of the self; without vigilance over one's mind itself, our growth will be hindered, as unwatched, the mind wanders to all sorts of selfish and idle desires ( that cookie sure was good...).

It is easy to see others as in need of an awakening, but however much moreso ourselves, from the perspective of those far above us! We would do well to focus advancing our own feeble understandings as much as those of others.

With such a revolution in understanding, we sometimes expect all of our problems to be solved, but in an odd way, it is a blessing to see we are full of problems, as we can then see how great it would be to overcome those!

I would say that the universe is an infinite thing, and it is a glorious to think that however much we feel connected with all things, and in love with the manifold essences of being, unfathomably greater states are possible and await.


Have fun and take care,
