Are you proud to be a human

[Adrian]

In light of seeing benefits from every situation no matter how horrific it may be, I am thinking of WWII for example. Millions of people lost their lives, but one of the great benefits that emerged from it was that it provided opportunities for women to prove that they can handle their husbands business while they were away. They proved that they can handle hard labor work at factories and be smart enough to manage finances and businesses.
That was a big turn for women's rights that were suppressed for centuries. And the orchestration was to have extreme forced event to demonstrate something that the masses were not seeing or initiating to change on their own without force. So force was presented to get their attention. And on a higher level all these victims have chosen to play that role of "sacrificing" to help reveal and push along needed changes within society. Women's rights is just one of the many changes that occurred as a result.

And we should also be mindful of the fact that "death" does not exist, and accordingly no one" lost" their lives, but rather continued their lives at a different frequency, usually the Astral, where they are generally considerably happier than they were on Earth.

Both "world wars" particularly the first, seemed horrific at the time, but as you say, in hindsight so much benefit from humanity arose from it. And yes, this is why cause and effect is so perfect, even though situations may not seem like it at the time. In fact it seems often the case that the most extreme events ultimately give rise to the most extreme benefits.

And we should also be mindful of the fact that "death" does not exist, and accordingly no one" lost" their lives, but rather continued their lives at a different frequency, usually the Astral, where they are generally considerably happier than they were on Earth.

Oh definitely! I think we need to revisit the concept of "death" and change our perspective. It is difficult though. Now after some time had passed, I am able to be truly happy for my parents. I keep receiving telepathic messages from them. About 2 weeks ago as I was cooking, a thought and an image popped up in my head. I saw the photo wall paper in one of the rooms in my childhood home. It was a huge photo of a beautiful beach and palm trees covering the entire wall. My dad called it a paradise and I remember him looking at it often and dreaming of being there. My parents never had opportunity to visit such place while they were in this reality. But the knowing and message I got telepathically from them was "Remember our photo wall paper? Well, we are actually there ". I saw the smile on their faces. The level of happiness could not be described with words, but I felt what they were feeling. I smiled and sent them love and I also sent my astral self to be with them as well. That made me so happy and I understood that it would be selfish of me to want to have them here in 3D.

It's all relative LB. We have come a long way, but some tendencies of old still remain. You and others will find this video very interesting as it is very much on point here.  It's about the Salem Witch Trials.

Thanks for posting, Frosty! I think every era has its lessons. We are now in the midst of our era, which in comparison with our 'past" eras is a walk in the park. But changes are always present, sometimes less noticeable, sometimes accelerated and extreme. It's important to learn how to flow smoothly on the top of the waves of changes to extract the enjoinment of the lessons.

Hi guys. It seems there are some themes as far as "spiritual lessons" are concerned once again coming to a clearer view.

One is. We truly do not know what the future holds. We can be shown a future event, and until that moment transpires, the information is limited. I recently had this discovery after being shown information in a dream, something I thought might have been a negative omen concerning my relationship with someone. But I totally interpreted the dream wrong, and only later realized I was being shown my emotional state, something I did not foresee/understand until the precise moment said state was experienced-

This has something to do with what we are discussing here... Weighing the future of humanity as we are hyper focused on particular events that are taking place, including the way we perceive/receive those events.

Another theme I am experiencing, and something I wanted to share here... A poem that came to me the moment I was feeling very emotional about my human existence. I think it kind of encapsulates the drama we see between Ego and Soul. I read, from a very wise man, about loving others but keeping your "garment of detachment from being wet." And I had a response to that.

 my garment of detachment is soaked
O
And i have suffered and been made compassionate for it
I do not cry because I've allowed my garments to be made wet
I cry for union, the longing of my soul
A greater love I've known
Nothing compares
And nothing seems to satisfy
And so i cry
The longings of my soul


.... And this morning I remembered a great being, whom I believe is guiding me in my life. He shared some ideas on suffering... That I would know what suffering was, when my tears cause flowers to bloom.
Many of us do not realize the extent of that suffering, but I believe this is a part of the experiential wisdom we hoped for by being born on this planet, in this region of space and time.

-It may not make sense, especially if you do not believe in Life after Life.

Which comes back to the lesson you folks have implored here. Personal choice- how we choose to respond to information
and how we choose to share. How we carry ourselves. We live, and hopefully we learn. And you never know the full extent the simplest act of kindness may create or who it might reach. More important than thinking we know what's what, is how we choose to share with, of and in the present.

[Via Dolorosa]

Hey I like this topic!

I was thinking today of how humans perceive themselves in relation to ETs and other beings.
I observe many people who are labeling themselves as spiritual to wanting to be from someplace else than Earth. They want to be ETs among humans. They want to believe they are something higher than humans. The reason I believe is because they have a sense of multiple life times and some connections are stronger. But on the other hand I am seeing an issue where they place hierarchy where they perceive superiority based on evolution, technological advancement, vibrational residency, etc. A lot of people are not proud to call themselves humans because they perceive humans as not much evolved and they wish they were something more superior. They wish to feel special, powerful by being somebody else. But not seeing everyone and everything as equal (from a higher perspective) they will not achieve fulfilment. If someone doesn't feel special or powerful is because they are not embracing their own uniqueness. Everyone is special, but just because everyone is special that doesn't negate specialness.

I think we do get envious and feel bad when others have more or can do more than us. It's a natural tendency in us and it's an evolutionary response I think to bettering ourselves. There's nothing worse than boredom and I think if there are ETs, they are there to inspire us, and why not>? lets grow!

I am proud to be human though. Especially when I see Jeff besoz, and Elon musk and all the multi- billionaires rallying around to create a better world. There is no light without dark and no peace without war in this world, so once we evolve into ETs maybe they could wipe out wars too>?

I see Jeff is wanting to create space mansions, and Elon wants us to inhabit mars...well look at the size of the universe??? why not??? lets do it! I would be an ET at the drop of a hat if it meant no more suffering.  I think of myself as a moral person, so I guess I would be a hugging ET  lol...free hugs for all with magic huggable powers to create love( hey it might take away my aggression lol, after I have slapped you a few times for annoying me haha)

I would love to change my form at the drop of a hat and speak 300 inter- dimensional languages, if it meant having fun or helping others. it's what we were made for surely?

I am not blessed with Elon or Jeff's  money so I don't have the know how but I do know we are all alright really, just suffering from not having what we all want at the drop of a hat.
 

[Frostytraveler]

Please tell me you are kidding regarding these billionaires? Do you have any idea how many small businesses across the planet Amazon has put out of business with their unrelenting greed? How much do they give back to the people through charity and the planet? Especially in light of the fact they hardly pay ANY taxes at all? The tech billionaire and leadership ideologies are purely wicked, selfish and primal based with money, greed, power, tyranny, resource (mineral) and land grabs. It's simply never enough. The power grab and manipulation of leadership by these tech billionaires is incredibly dark. Their quest to brainwash and manipulate the masses with 100% false information is ever present. They have now authorized the cutting down of ancient forests in the Pacific Northwest as well as countless orders that GREATLY harm the planet. Are these the traits I should envy? They are takers in every sense of the word causing mass suffering to the people and the planet.

They look at the masses as insects to be exploited with ZERO empathy. Envy them? Really?  I would need to envy mass corruption and bringing pain to the majority of people (and now the World) then, at the benefit of the VERY select few. So many think "this is good for them, and what they need" when it couldn't be further from the truth. Wake up people. I have no words for complacent submissive illogical thinking. In my opinion, the spiritual path/evolvement does not merely comprise of unicorns and rainbows. Light and Darkness exist, as do Yin and Yang, Good and Evil. For those that don't think evil truly exists, then you just haven't personally experienced it.

"When good men do nothing evil triumphs". I am proud to say I have stopped "evil" many times in my life by confronting them, exposing them, and taking away their power with the law and the Church on my side. This in turn stopped the suffering of countless others. If I just rolled over and said, this is my suffering it is lesson for me and others then so many more would have suffered horribly. I may be a hybrid of Spiritual and Christian, but  I realize I am very different from many of you and that's perfectly ok. But... when we all condone evil and roll over, we ALL pay the price, no matter how much one things they control "their" own individual world.

I have always said, as with most things in life, the truth usually lies in the middle where a balance is achieved. In my opinion this applies to not only politics, but in our spiritual beliefs. I believe if we lose sight of fairness, Justice and the common good for humanity and the planet, that will not promote spiritual evolution, it will hinder it.

[Tak]

Hi Frosty, I want to tell you that I perfectly understand your point and agree with it. In my particular case, through direct experience, I know that I came into the human world because it's completely different from my original state. It's so inexplicably unusual that I decided to come to expand my internal wisdom about other existing realities. I found this out in an OBE about ten years ago, and this marked my life forever. I understood that I'm here by my own will to expand my knowledge (and apparently that of others who are with me). But I can't say the same for others.

Regarding suffering, it's always optional, since experiences are neutral, and we decide how to feel about it. This can be misinterpreted, as those who don't feel anything towards others are psychopaths without empathy and killers, who can't feel love (they say so themselves) and can brutally massacre the rest like a bunch of insects, as you say. Unfortunately, those people exist, and most are leaders of this world. But I see them as sick people, not evil (they have alterations in the structure and function of their brain, it is different from the rest).
Therefore, the neutrality I'm referring to is not amoral, apathetic, or insensitive. I'm not referring to turning a blind eye either. But rather controlling our internal state to act in a more balanced way. I think what you did, Frosty, was very good, and that's how we should always act when we see injustice. I agree that all are lessons for the spirit, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything about it; just the opposite, tests are meant to be overcome, to awaken more compassion, awareness, and love in us. Tests are meant to take action. It's like if they put a paper in front of me at school and said, 'I won't write the paper because it's a lesson, I won't do anything because it's just a test,' what would the grade be? ZERO, lol. I wouldn't hesitate to call the police if I saw someone being raped or if they were attacking a dog with a stick. I definitely think I'd even risk my life to save someone in certain circumstances. I think the function and understanding that this life is designed to learn through lessons shouldn't fall into passive contemplation but rather awaken more love and respect for life itself.

Regarding seeing life as a dream, I also think this can be misinterpreted. I think that from our pivotal and pure consciousness focus, this human life, not being our primary focus, seems to be seen as a dream from there, because it is. That's why reference is made to the physical world in this way (as an illusion, dream, or simulation). But that doesn't mean we should spend our lives staring out the window, lost in thought, not at all! Life is meant to be lived in all its splendor!!! In the end, I think what's important are the decisions we make and with what degree of love they're guided.

[Adrian]

Frosty, I understand and respect the way you perceive the world.  I will respond with an alternative perspective which you may wish to consider.

Firstly, on a more "down to Earth" level, everyone on Earth has been endowed with the freewill to make their own choices in life and to experience, learn and thus evolve or devolve accordingly. The only reason that billionaires and their ilk can exploit people is because people are making the choice, at some level to be exploited. Every time people experience negative consequences as a result, it is a learning experience which they can choose to ignore, or continue to repeat until they final do learn. It is all about balance, which is perfect. An excellent example to illustrate this is "big pharma" which not only exploit people financially, but do so while exposing them to a vast array of laboratory chemicals, called "medicine" which can progressively toxify the body causing further sickness without ever healing the underlying cause of the condition. I will concede that medicines, vaccines etc have helped to reduce the symptoms of a condition in the short term and in some cases save lives. However people becoming sick and exposing themselves to pharmaceutical chemicals is a personal choice which people are making at some level, as a result of eating unhealthy or inappropriate foods and leading an unhealthy lifestyle, thus putting themselves in the hands of the "medical industry". So they are choosing an unhealthy diet, and then choose doctors and medicines in the hope of correcting it. There are five places in the world where the residents routinely live to well over 100, never become sick or see a doctor, and still live an active lifestyle, participating in dancing, martial arts etc. These people choose a diet consisting of 97% whole plant based, and live a healthy lifestyle. While millions of people choose to eat fast food, junk food, sugar, alcohol, and I am going to say meat and dairy products, they are choosing, at some level, for whatever reason to potentially expose themselves to health issues, and of big pharma and the medical industry generally. This why chronic conditions such as cancer, diabetes and a whole range of others has never been higher and increasing, and inflicting children at progressively younger ages. So it is all about balance and freedom of choice, which is one of the great benefits of choosing the countless challenges presented by living on this planet.

Ultimately it is all Perfect, because the Universe, God, Source, with which we are all One, can be none other than Perfect. Everyone on Earth, no matter who they are or what they have done, is an Expression, a child of God, infinitely Loved and always Perfect, all participating in this drama we call living on Earth. I use diet and lifestyle as just one of numerous choices that people can make, such as where to purchase goods from, who they vote for, choice of religion to adhere to, risks to take, people to associate with etc., and countless other choices, all of which can influence their own life experience through freedom of choice, through which to learn, evolve, devolve or stand still.  If millions of people didn't choose to buy from Amazon, use Google, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, watch Youtube, buy Tesla cars, etc., there would be no billionaires behind them. Millions of people choose the low prices. selection and convenience of Amazon rather than spend hours driving around small shops and paying a higher price - if they can find what they are looking for at all. Mass freedom of choice. Earth is a relatively unique planet in these respects, which is why Higher Selves choose Earth to send personalities to as a potential fast track to further Spiritual evolution. As Shakespeare said - "all the world is a stage". The world is a mass simulation projected by the collective mind of its participants who choose to come here.

Secondly, it is impossible to fight low vibration with further low vibration. Earth and humanity can only evolve by raising the vibratory frequency of the planet as a whole, which in turn causes the negative forces to which you referred in your post to dissipate. By watching, listening to or reading the "news" and becoming emotionally involved with all the drama playing out, you lower your own vibration through anger, fear and other low emotions etc. which not only contributes to lowering the vibration of the planet, thereby becoming part of that which you are against, you also drag yourself down physically and mentally. The only solution therefore is to switch off the "news", only watch uplifting youtube videos etc. focussing only on your own Universe which is entirely in your own control, by only uplifting activities that bring pleasure, joy etc. helping those within the sphere of your own Universe etc. thereby increasing your own vibration, which will in turn contributes to raising the vibration of the planet and its people as a whole, which will reduce negativity in the world to the same degree, while experiencing a much happier and healthy life yourself.

I absolute respect your feelings on these matters, but I hope this provides an alternative perspective for you to consider.

[Frostytraveler]

As always Adrian, I appreciate your incite as I do LB's (and others) which you both have generously given during my time here on the Pulse. I don't mean to contradict what you both often say, and at times it might appear so, but that is out of frustration of the wrongs going on in this PR. I do understand and agree for the most part of what you stated. Yes, it's best to just tune out of world affairs. I would agree, and eluded to the fact in my post, that balance is very important. It is truly unfortunate, that, as we make huge efforts to awaken and evolve in the NPR, yet in the PR a fair amount of the people are clueless of the reality of what is REALLY going on. They are asleep in the PR's own version of the Matrix.

As you say though, the masses of humanity [the sheep] at some level are "choosing" to suffer and now on the US, they are seeing the fruits of their actions. I can not go down that path and always chose for the greater good. My discontent kicks in when I observe the masses making such bad decisions, then witness the very foreseeable damage caused them.  It is frustrating for me to witness, and being a bit of a perfectionist with very high moral standards, it takes a toll on me observing such self destructive decisions and behavior by a fair amount of the masses. In the end, it is because I care for the world and the planet, and I see collective decision causing so much harm unnecessarily.

I understand that we are here to learn. We are also here to help, wake up and sometimes protect others from their own self destructive behaviors, decisions and beliefs. But this can be overwhelming, so boundaries need to be drawn or this will lower one's vibration. I get it, as that is the last thing I want to do. I have seen so much in the NPR, and a fair amount of it being Divine experiences, that I feel my experiences, and belief's to some degree have caused this focus and feel blessed because of it.

I will take make a good effort to not let low vibrational PR bring me down to a parallel low vibrational state. Very hard to witness this, but we as individuals can only do so much.

[Adrian]

The very highest service we can offer humanity is to show people the truth of our own Divinity and the infinite power we have within us. This was Jesus primary mission on Earth just as many before him and since.

The Light is infinitely more powerful than the dark - we can take a light into a dark room to illuminate it, but is impossible to take darkness into a room filled with Light and make it darker. Once enough people do recognise the truth of their own Divinity and power and Light within, the darkness such as that you referred to in your post will dissipate, and humanity will finally know and experience the truth of the "Kingdom of Heaven on Earth".

Regardless of the dramas playing out in the world, we should strive to take the "high road" knowing that the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth will be fully realised, if not by our generation then by generations to come.

[LightBeam]

Everything will eventually be realized in its own good time. No force, just flow with the synchronicities.

[Frostytraveler]

Some interesting points made in the video below that is somewhat applicable to this discussion.

[Via Dolorosa]

To be fair, I get the POV Frosty that the big enterprises are swallowing up small businesses. I seen it in my time and whats now left of my home town is a complete mess. The councils taxed everyone to high heaven to pay for the projects that greedy contractors sucked the life out of and gained unfairly which left ppl destitute  that  were already of the brink of despair bc they were poor and therefor defenceless.

If you ask me there's a dog eat dog world out there, and those who oppress the poor are in for it. If the biggest fish does not take responsibility for the power they have, they will suffer a fate worse than death which will crease them to Eternity. A higher power created this world, And gave the top dogs  the ability to help further us humans, I call Him  GOD and He sees all...even when we think things are bad, because of stupid humans, He will see to it, Eternally, that we will all be all safe, even if it means after death.

He keeps check on the people He puts in Power, and with great power comes great responsibility and I know I would not like being the one with all the power in this world if I didn't have Something beyond myself helping me and everyone in mind when I make planetary decisions.

All I see is that God knows where he wants us  headed, and He sees things we do not, and every now and then He intervenes, to keep things on track. I cant for the life of me say what it will be like when He has finished His Plans, but  I believe heaven is the Plan for us all, because the bible says we are all sinners, and the ones who sins belongs to God, so what kind of Creator would let us all just die and go to "hell"?

[Via Dolorosa]

When I say we are all *sinners*, I mean, we don't do everything perfectly in our  service to others. 


How many times i fail others, has been  too many  times to count.

[Adrian]

To be fair, I get the POV Frosty that the big enterprises are swallowing up small businesses.

When I was young, in England, there were no "supermarkets" as such. There were individual shops for buying bread, vegetables, cheese, hardware etc. Them along came supermarkets and put most of them out of business, because people found in much more convenient to shop for all their needs in one place.  Same with Amazon on a much larger scale. Amazon enables hundreds of millions of people to shop from home for almost anything they need and have it delivered to the door the next day or even the same day, and in particular has provided disabled and other people with the ability  to have access to shopping they did not previously have. So it is not supermarkets or Amazon that are "bad" per se. I have been closely involved with technology for well over 40 years and seen it all. I remember that Amazon, Google, Microsoft  etc starting from humble beginnings by people who saw the potential, dropped out of college, and dedicated themselves to making it work, many started working out of their garage. However as these companies grew and prospered, the control of them was progressively usurped by people intent on exploiting the reach and influence of these companies and their original founders for their own nefarious purposes. That controversial Tesla owner for example grew up in South Africa under very difficult and often abusive conditions, before finding the opportunity to move to Canada to join his brother who wrote software together to make a living. He eventually co-founding PayPal and later saw the potential of Tesla.

I am not condoning these people or what they became in any way whatsoever, or their impact on the world today, but there is always a much bigger picture to consider. All these people are infinitely Loved children, Expressions of God and part of the overall Perfection of the Universe, as are we All. All participants have freedom of choice as to whether to buy from Amazon, drive a Tesla, use a computer running Windows, use mobile phones, use the Internet, search with Google, send messages with GMail etc.

I grew up in a world with no computers, Internet, mobile phones etc and 14 " TV in black and white with two channels,  Was I happy? Yes extremely, I spent most of my time outside in nature.

If you ask me there's a dog eat dog world out there, and those who oppress the poor are in for it. If the biggest fish does not take responsibility for the power they have, they will suffer a fate worse than death which will crease them to Eternity.

If you believe that the world is "dog eat dog" then that will be your experience. Always strive to see the good, beauty and perfection in all people and "things" - they are all God. Those who oppress the poor and deliberately negatively impact other people are of a lower vibration and not as far along the path. When the transition from Earth they will go to a corresponding lower vibration level of the Astral where together they will continue to learn and evolve through experience, always infinitely Loved by God, as are we all.

A higher power created this world, And gave the top dogs  the ability to help further us humans, I call Him  GOD and He sees all...even when we think things are bad, because of stupid humans, He will see to it, Eternally, that we will all be all safe, even if it means after death.

God blessed us all, out of Divine Love, the gift of Eternal Life and the opportunity, through Spiritual Evolution, to become fully God realised, as God.

No human has been endowed with more power than any other, all are equal. God does not get directly involved in the affairs of humans at all, as that would be contrary to the very reason humans are here in the first place. Nothing is "bad" and no humans are "stupid" before an infinitely Loving and Perfect God, with Which are One.

He keeps check on the people He puts in Power, and with great power comes great responsibility and I know I would not like being the one with all the power in this world if I didn't have Something beyond myself helping me and everyone in mind when I make planetary decisions.

God does not "put anyone in power" or "check" on anyone. God is only concerned with the Eternal and allows God's children to live and evolve in their own way. ALL is Perfect.

With regard to your other post:

When I say we are all *sinners*, I mean, we don't do everything perfectly in our  service to others.
How many times i fail others, has been  too many  times to count.

There are no "sinners" in the world in the sense used by religion, and neither do people need to be "saved". These are constructs of religion for its own purposes and/or beliefs.

However much you succeed or not in being of service to others or not is irrelevant. All that matters is being willing to be of service to others, and extending service to others whether accepted or not or successful or not.

"Service to others before self" is an aspect of the primary reason people are on Earth for numerous lives, which is to fully transcend the influence of the ego, to fully align with Unconditional Love.

[Frostytraveler]

I just wanted to clarify, about Amazon. I'm sure most of us use Amazon, even me. Of course there is a convenience factor. When I can buy local, I usually do, but certain things I have no choice. The fact that Amazon has put countless large, medium and small businesses out of business, is just the tip of the iceberg on the underlying damage billionaires and more specifically tech billionaires are doing. They used to just manipulate politicians and the tax code from the background, but so do corporations with a physical presence like major stores in the US. The drive to lower or eliminate taxes for the uber rich, and heavily tax everyone else is frankly disgraceful. They all play the game. But...now many of these powerful entities and billionaires are becoming more openly involved with politics and are often openly lying and manipulating, as politicians commonly do. Yet, they rely on customers to buy their products and keep them in business. It's all a "use" relationship with zero empathy which is troubling to me. Lying is one of the lowest forms of low vibration, and is the quickest way to stunt our spiritual evolution. Yet lying is so commonplace now and is used as the primary means to manipulate the masses.

When the transition from Earth they will go to a corresponding lower vibration level of the Astral where together they will continue to learn and evolve through experience, always infinitely Loved by God, as are we all.

I absolutely believe this, call it a Hell of their own making (trapped in their beliefs) rummaging around in the lower Astral to ponder their ways. If people believed there was repercussions in some form for their actions here on earth I believe that would help humanity stay along a virtuous path. I don't care how large a cross people wear, unfortunately that usually has no relationship with their degree of spiritual/biblical evolvement, decency, moral conscious or true faith in God or the afterlife.

[Adrian]

Yes I absolutely agree with you on the extent billionaires and large multinational companies such as the pharmaceutical companies influence politicians to enact things which are definitely not in the interest of the electorate, They call it "lobbying" but bribery might be more appropriate. And yes, politicians do not seem to care about the people they purport to represent, only how much money they can line their numbered bank accounts with, to which end they will say anything to get elected. But as you say, when they transition they will find themselves in an environment along with all others of their ilk, that reflects their personality and level of vibration exactly, with only each other to exploit. This is not a punishment, it is an opportunity to learn and evolve. 

[Frostytraveler]

More talk on the need for empathy and practicing the "Golden Rule". This medical doctor really covers many aspects of core Christian beliefs, but also Buddhism and Spiritualism. He even mentions we are all "one". He teaches empathy to fellow doctors and nurses. Humanity can learn from him, so we can collectively evolve. So much turmoil and fueled human aggression in today's world because these basic principles are not followed. Once again, wearing a large cross on your chest means very little without truly believing and acting on these principles.

[Frostytraveler]

In winding down my contribution to this thread, I want to make one more important point. One of the most important traits I have learned in this physical existence is that balance and truth promotes authenticity. Never turn your back on your OWN intuition, and to what feels right and just. These critical traits are derived from independent thinking, which (for me) was essential to my spiritual ascension. Coming from a strong Christian background, and strongly abiding by the Golden Rule, I still remained an independent thinker, as I have in all aspects of my life. When we carry independent thinking to our life in its totality, i.e. family life, religious/spiritual life, political views, etc... we become our true and best self without being polluted my mass 1, 2 and 3rd Density thinking. If we listen to others that parrot untruths long enough, humans become numb, eventually ending up believing in these untruths and it will hinder not only their evolutionary process in the physical world, but in the NP/Spiritual world as well. If this occurs, our authentic self has been manipulated and stifled. An authentic human is a human we can be proud of. I strongly believe this authenticity, independent thinking and abiding by the Golden Rule, was an important reason for my spiritual growth and profound experiences. With this comes a shift of focus to what lies above, what lies beyond the veil and what is the true meaning of everything. Then the gates open and we see things in all their splendor.

[LightBeam]

Thank you all for this great discussion! It has definitely provoked many thoughts to drive us towards growth!

[Kodemaster]

I'm not, however I try my best to help others and show compassion. I really feel we can learn a lot from Nature, especially cats. They show unconditional love, are direct communicators, and bond by having their basic needs met. Big cats are king of the jungle, lions and tigers. The fastest runner is the cheetah.

That being said, all animals have their place in the cycle of life and must be protected, honored and respected.
