hmmm, interesting.  

I think that before we see "pure" artificial intelligence, computers will be combined with humans.  Maybe in this way, computers will be able to evolve through being linked to live human intelligence.  It is unnerving how much the push for this is in the field of new technologies.  From reading magazines, like Wired (which I used to love, but now I avoid), one would think that people idolize the "perfection" of computers -- and that they are greatly looking forward to :"connecting", being "plugged in", whatever you call it.

You'll look around and see the trends for this forward movement everywhere.  

Will people have the choice to give up their bodies for possible electronic existance?

There's more questions on this, but I don't know if this is too much a tangent off your original thread...

I agree.  While I haven't tried (or should I say haven't had success) with the rope method, I have problems using specific visualization as focus points.  I get so caught up in trying to "visualize" right that I get stuck on it.  

Sensation is so much easier since its tangible rather then purely visual.  It helps me ground, and then by grounding so much I am able to expand.

(Though I can say I have yet to have a truly OBE, I do get to altered states of some sorts.)

thanks for sharing,

(doh! my bolding attempts above didn't work)

anyway, thought of one more thing:

yes, I have also become aware of the interactions between my Higher Self and another's Higher Self.  It is a little tricky though, because while I am aware of the higher level communication going on, most often the other person isn't aware at all.  It is a little frustrating, simply because if I were to explain what was going on to that person, they would think I was crazy!  So I just accept it for what it is.  

I would love to connect with someone who realizes this too.  haha.  Actually, I am sure I will now... simply because I just realized I wanted this.  Great how this works, huh?

Cool.  I would love to hear other's experiences.  

I have only recently "shifted" into yet another level.  (Gotta love this ride!)  

I feel I am now able to not only connect with, but embody my Higher Self more consciously and bring this through in the material realm.

What I am encountering, however, is some difficulty in relationships.  While trying to be true to myself, I am bumping up against resistance of more "traditional" ways of doing things.  It seems people have a hard time recognizing that I am being "true" and am being accused instead of being "selfish" and "self-oriented"  

... anybody have this challenge?  or other thoughts to share?

Hey RedDragon ~  What do you mean you "really opened your wings"  I'm curious to learn more.   Also, quite interesting about the Cadedus and kundalini...  I never knew the two serpents referenced that.  (How come this stuff isn't more widely known?  argh!  Or perhaps I've yet to learn (remember) because of not being ready.

To Halfphased ~  I understand completely what you are saying about knowing people's thoughts.  I prefer to smoke pot when I am by myself, though some social situation (and sometimes sex) are great contexts too.  I encounted that whole thought thing too.  At first it was intense and I found myself retreating.  And, yes, I became critical too by the level some people operate at and what drives them.  BUT I used these experiences as challenges and pushed ahead.  It helped me in not only "knowing" that we are all one, but feeling it.  Go with it. Except it.  Push through this and the world will open up again.

yay Majour Ka!

I have recently realized the same... and it is incredible how the world expands in response.  I wish more people were talking about stuff like this, which is why I'm cheering you.

hello  

Ah... Marijuana and Spiritual Progression.   The two have gone hand and hand throughout much of my adult life.  (I am almost 28).

The danger, however, is not in the drug itself, but in the user.

I thought I'd have more to write, but...  if I began, I'd prob. end up writing a book!  haha.  I'd love to share more, if you have any specific questions.
