A scientist thinks long and hard about performing an experiment and creating the perfect product seen in his mind. His logic, he thinks, is infallible. He performs the experiment, but something goes terribly wrong. There was an error in Logic, after all. ---- Are you saying that the end result that ...

Simple intuition, to me, is the lowest form of mysticism (and usually is in the form of "something's wrong" rather than "something great just happened") Mysticism - 2: the belief that direct knowledge of God, spiritual truth, or ultimate reality can be attained through subjective...

In my first AA meeting, a woman poured her heart out about just everything for ten full minutes. When she was done, I started to offer some heartfelt words of compassion. I suddenly felt a palpable chill in the room. I began to backtrack and mumble my way into the silence in which I should have rem...

"I am the entire human race compacted together. I have found that there is no ingredient of the race which I do not possess in either a small way or a large way." Mark Twain "We all do no end of feeling, and we mistake it for thinking." Mark Twain I went looking for a section in ...

"....But if you want Enlightenment, if you want to wake up, if you want to get fried in the fire of passionate Infinity, then, I promise you: find yourself a Rude Boy or a Nasty Girl, the ones who make you uncomfortable in their presence, who scare you witless, who will turn on you in a second ...

Yes, I'm "fully" cognizant of what a pendulum is..... so... thanks, your later posts on this pendulum business answered my question :-) PS - The Pit and The Pendulum alway come to mind (when hearing/reading the word). Edgar Allan Poe Tomas [/quote] Sorry, Tomas. No wonder you asked! <bg> N...

I've known a few people who regularly worked with the pendulum, and their pendulums often lied to them. If the only force in operation is the ego, then the 'answers' come from the closed/unstable system. If one has Spirit and Ego operating, the difference becomes apparent: The Babbling Brook and th...

Has anyone here worked with a pendulum on the Seeker's Path? Pray tell, what version of pendulum? (in other words, this critters come in all sizes, shapes and forms... ps - In my younger days (1960s), Ouija boards were all the craze. Tomas . "A weight hung from a fixed point in such a way that...

----It might not have been anger. It might have simply been his intention to make a graphic point about the crassness and lack of prioritizing by the religious establishment. Sometimes, crass actions are the only way to awaken crass minds. I agree. That's what I meant by 'demonstration' but I didn't...

It's a "come as you are" party. One can find the 'jumping off place' whether sitting in a mansion or sitting in a dumpster. It ain't about 'outsides'. Be watchful of Ego .... he'll have ya fasting or flogging yourself in the streets, if he gets a chance. No need to give up the mansion or g...

I awoke with a pressing thought to add. (To someone already Awake....I'm working on the 'sleep thing' that came into awareness a couple of weeks ago. It appears I have other work to do, however, before I 'get it'.) When I wrote that all the intellectual thinking in the world is for naught as far as ...

Welcome, PJ: The truth about life they don't teach in schools just boggles the mind, eh? <bg> However, I'm not saying there isn't basis for some of the conclusions. Just doesn't go far enough and I'd like to run the framework I've been shown by ya'll. What areas do you think it is lacking? - Thanks...

...Anyone who proposes that their journey to awakening is a good prescripton for everyone is undoubtably still just dreaming of Awakening and the riches that will come from the fame of having found the Holy Grail.
