The questions you never knew how to ask

[Stevo]

Sometimes the best questions come before you know anything. With the world of our mind, this is very true. When I started, I asked questions that I haven't fathomed how to phrase until today.

On a popular science show 'Nova', I once heard a scientist describing the technique used for examining the form of an atom similar to "Throwing a piano down the stairs and listening to all the noises to see what's inside." A lot of what we do to understand the world not seen with the eyes. It's terribly difficult to find out everything about it.

So I make a challange for your mind: Why does this thing some call the Astral exist?


When most people start, the impression we get of the inner conciousness is somewhat like the coolest game on the interweb. EVAR. You can do anything you want, be anyone you want, see anything you want, and not pay a penny in service charges. Why would we have such an endless world at our disposal? What purpose does it create past our own entertainment?

For those of you who believe in chakras and auras and planes and such limitations, why do you believe those limitations exist? Why can evil forces hurt you? Why do those things you know you can't do stay unavailable?


I know I'm asking a lot, but I'm running out of ideas and I need some brainstorming. Secondly, I don't think it quite right for us to absentmindedly accept it as it is, that takes all the fun out of it.

I tend to view this the other way -- Astral projection is akin to reverse engineering in my eyes. It was not given to us, quite on the contrary, it was hidden from us.

We were clearly put on this earth to live our lives "normally," and probably not to "wander out of the matrix."

Global enlightenment (i.e. everyone becomes in touch with their soul and becomes aware of the "reality") is often viewed as the end of the world, or the critical end of an era.

I'm wondering if we are "the first." -- when everyone becomes enlightened, do the powers that be decide that this cycle is over and create a new world from scratch?

The Matrix trilogy is very interesting in the sense that, while I'm pretty sure we're not being harvested by ultra-intelligent robots, those who sent us down here expect that there will be "the one" (Robert Monroe? lol) who will start a movement and change the plane we live on by making everyone realize "the truth"

And who knows? Maybe we're all just a computer program in a physical world where there is no life after death!

Woohoo.... the matrix has you.

Why would we have such an endless world at our disposal? What purpose does it create past our own entertainment?

For me this is the essence of it. As you know it goes by a few names such as "the astral" or FoC2 depending on your scientific  or mystical view. Neither is wrong rather they are just different interpretations on the same thing. Anyway I'm getting off topic... my point is, That the area of us having everything is simply our imagination, it is the purest form of thought, here everything is controlled by what you think.

Many people have said that the only limits we have are the corners of our imagination. This "everything" world covers and is everything because it is fully imagined... anything is possible. So what purpose does it serve... well every time you think of something it comes from here, every time you work something out it is done so here. It is purely your imagination. Our entertainment comes when we are able to move into this and explore this huge playground.

Are there restrictions? For me no but for many yes. I think these restrictions are put there because it is not a normal human thing to have this perfect "everything" without something negative... When the ancient medieval projectors projected, they happily decided that there should be some negs involved with it... mostly a scare tactic so that only they could do it. Some of those fears and Mystical beliefs have held on today, just as organized religion has. I'm not saying they are wrong, rather simply that they have a belief in something like this is the most amazing thing of all. They just don't work for me.

The truth for me lies in the fact that a part of me just knows it all exists, i don't know why as it isn't really based on anything but sometimes we just need to believe.

Also one of my friends was telling me yesterday that 1 neuron in your brain is capable of processing tons of information. Thousands of neurons process our senses and keep the body functioning, but for every one of these processing neurons there are nine others that are connected to something else that is not possibly measurable or understandable using today's modern science. and they say there is nothing out there.



i think not.
