QRS

Post by sevens »

In most circumstances, I'm able to recognize and interact in 'the causal flow' - with the ability to perceive my 'matrix' and the 'matrix' of others. (When you understand weather, you can predict a storm).

What spiritual concepts would you apply to this phenomenon? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. In <a href="http://home.primus.com.au/davidquinn/Bo ... ntents.htm" target="top">Wisdom of the Infinite</a>, I deal with the subject of cause and effect in some detail.

ORS,

I'm eager to delve into specific spiritual concepts based on my current spiritual level. For instance, I know that there must be various Buddhist/Taoist terms or experiences that apply to what I am currently perceiving. I was hoping that you could direct me towards these principles, or share some experiences of your own.

You are quite vague as to what you are perceiving. What does it mean to perceive someone's matrix?

My advice is to read Kevin Solway's "Poison for the Heart" and see what resonates there in terms of your current experiential level. Then you'll have some kind of lexicon we can engage. Before that I too am finding you too vague to respond to in any specific way.

Oh, and stop reading conventional academic philosophical material forthwith! It's destroying your ability to communicate in simple terms.

Bird,

Matrix - 1) total sum of a personality, including but not limited to: delusions, neurotic tendencies and ego defenses, apparent in an individual's behavior 2) one tangible perception of the infinite, manifested in the interconnected relationships of human interaction 3) combination of 1 and 2

Dan,

What I keep by my pillow: 'Thus spake Zarathustra.' Academic philosophy makes me sleepy.

'Wisdom of The Infinite' and 'Poison For The Heart'!

Are there tales of female sages?

You're new. Let's talk about what/who you are.

Do you think yourself superior or just different?

Dan,

It depends on the context and the definition of the terms 'superior' and 'different.' My developed ego has eyes that give life - I can distinguish a multitude of differences between myself and others, but these differences I also contain within myself. This perception acts as a balance, enabling me to spur some, while still maintaining my spiritual humility.
