Signs of the Appocolypse

[Anonymous]

Wow, what I woudn't give to be able to astral travel. I've been trying to do it for two years now, without even one successful attempt. I think I know why though. When I meditated, I was doing it wrong, so I lost a lot of energy. My kung fu teacher has helped me with that though. I think in time I will be able to travel, as I spiritually advance. I think I will also develop second sight. I think that all of these things are just side effects of spiritual advancement. I always thought that if mankind evolved we would become giant balls of energy and be able to fly around. I wonder if we could shapeshift as well. That would be fun.

enderwiggin, it isn't a neg that is stopping you. perhaps you should really reflect on why you want to know the meaning of life before you continue trying to know it. ask yourself if you really are ready to know.

I strongly believe I am ready to know the meaning of life, because I feel I've reached a stage now where I've realized that when I get out of college, I am going to have to find a job, maybe even two or three, in order to support myself, and I have no idea what it is that I want to do.  Though I am studying music right now, I wake up every day and ask myself it that is really what I want to do with my life. And often I say no. But I also say yes a lot. It is not an easy decision for me to make. I've come this far with my training, eight or nine years of studying, and to blow it all away in my third year of college would be stupid and foolish. It is a skill that is worth keeping, but I don't know if I really want to have a job doing it. But what else can I do after college? With a bachelor's degree in music, what can I do other than music? What good is a bachelor's in music if I decide I want to do art? That is why it's important for me to know the meaning of life. I want to know why I am going through what I am going through, all this suffering (as well as every other human emotion), and what I'm learning from it. I believe that knowing the meaning of life would increase my ability to think about my actions more and see farther down the road what consequences will result from them. I think my martial arts training is the only thing I would really like to practice. I know that I can benefit all around from it, unlike music. We are expected to practice six hours a day. That's a lot of time spent in a closet with a piano in it (the practice rooms). I don't think I have that kind of dedication. I think after school I will do something else. I could switch to a liberal arts major, I suppose, but again, what is that good for? I want to be successful, but I want to do something I love, and I don't think I have found it yet.

I feel that I am ready to know the meaning of life, because I know it will answer so many of my questions. Spiritual development is my number one priority.

Greetings Enderwiggin!

I really do understand your situation, believe me [] I spent seven years doing an extended degree course in physical and organic chemistry, only to start my own computer business, and which is more or less what I have been doing ever since, and more latterly the Internet. Basically, it was while studying chemistry that the very first "micro" computers appeared - this was about 25 years ago - and I instantly knew that was for me - and so I setup my first business. Needless to say I haven't used any of my scientific knowledge.

The point is - you will know when something feels right, and the best thing to do is to keep an open mind, and not set yourself on music to the exclusion of everything else, but of course you should not finish music either. We know what we will do before we incarnate, and it is just a matter of following your intuition, and walking through the right doors when they open for you. For now though, it seems to me that until other doors open (music might be your lifes work this time around) just continue in your current direction.

It is marvellous that you have placed your Spiritual path first - that is exactly as it should be, and will be your guiding light through life. If you follow and practice Spiritual truths and realities every minute of every day, live this life as a valuable opportunity to learn the lessons and equilibrate the Karma you are here for, and avoid materialism, creed and dogma - you will do just fine [] Healing would be a wonderful thing to do as well, among many other such positive Spiritual services to mankind.

With best regards,

Adrian.

Timeless-

Thanks for the links. I'm sure I will find them useful.

i am going into my final semester (in two weeks) of a four year program (that was crunched into three) for my Bachelor of Computer Science, or something.

during my time here at school, i started focusing completely on my schoolwork. i got it all done, even though i stressed over it so greatly. my entire life began focusing around my schoolwork, nothing else mattered. it became my obsession because i thought it was important.

then i got a wake up call. God reminded me that i was forgetting about Him, about what i had chosen to do with my life. He reminded me of all the spiritual things that i had forgotten, and reminded me of how insignificant the world really is. so i stopped caring about my schoolwork... so much.

i'm still here, but i'm just doing it as a side thing until i'm done. instead i am now focusing once again on my real life, on my future, and most importantly on God. i used to think that my time here in calgary was a living hell (cause it was), but i have realizing all of the important lessons that i have learned that i couldn't have learned back home.

back home i never would have gotten so caught up in something so trivial, so i couldn't have been shown how to keep myself from deviating from the path set before me. i never would have had so little energy that i would have to fight for existence. i never would have had the opportunity to train with small amounts of energy so that when i begin using large amounts of energy again it would be even better for me. and there are so many more.

but i guess i'm getting off topic here. so enderwiggin, meditate a while longer and let yourself know that you would like to know, if you still do.

Hello, everyone

Today has shown me that though I may not be a professional musician, I will still always write music and keep it in my life. I listened to what I have written of a piece that I'm working on, and I am pleased with what I wrote. My teacher likes it as well, which always helps. I think music is going to play a key part in what I do someday, but I don't think it'll be the main part. Most of my classes I am not even going to use, but nevertheless, I am taking them. I am learning a lot of valuable information about writing music and about the limitations and advantages of different instruments. It's good to know. I think I should stop worrying about my status in society. I don't want to be a bum on the street with no job, but then again, I don't need to live in a mansion. Even if I did get rich, mansions are creepy and way too big. I'd want to get a small, really cool house. But aside from that, I'd put my money into building that healing center. I could hire people to work for me, teaching meditatin, chi kung, reiki, yoga, psychic self-defense, kung fu, accupuncture, massage, music therapy, you name it. I have a feeling somewhere down inside me that I will make the right choices and I will succeed, simply because I want to. I have the drive. I haven't quite figured out the meaning of life yet, but I'm getting there. I'll have to do it when I have more free time.

Many people believe the "end" is near. I had a dream last night that the Appocolypse was taking place. My dream was rather vivid. I saw mountains turn blood red from the light of the moon (which also was red), water boiling as it would on my stove, and people panicking, some trying to "go out happy" and others trying to advance spiritually as much as possible. The earth chasmed and there was a great sense of loss. In a nutshell, it sucked. I saw people too blinded by their vain lives to be convinced to do the right thing and repent for their sins. They decided to party hard instead of trying to come to an understanding with their spirituality. I ran from them so I wouldn't get sucked in to a way of sin. There were a few who chose the same path I did. Not many. I wanted to have fun too, but I knew it was more important to treat others with respect, courtesy, benevolence, and help people who were in danger. The appocolypse happened slowly in my dream, one area at a time, over the course of a week. In my dream I had a thought: what if nuclear weapons were capable of this kind of destruction?

My dream may have been induced by the conversation I had last night with my friends about the conspiracies going on in the U.S. I made a connection that showed me how the devil was working, and what he is doing to prevent us from entering eternal peace, and how subtle it is. Mere thoughts in our heads make it hard for us to see right from wrong, placed there by the devil, and they are so subtle you don't realize they are his thoughts until you see the consequences of the actions. Sadly, many of us are unable to see the consequences. All I know is, the Appocolypse needs to happen before we are suckered into following his empty promises. If you look around you enough, you will see how his operations are being carried out.
