Balaam's donkey,
I will answer it, if it means so much to you. It is a very simple answer:
I just know. Anytime I come across a truth. I can experience it and
verify it and then understand it.
Now, the truth can only be subjectively experienced. I can give you
the logic that love is the greatest positive coheisve force. That love makes
one complete. However, this logic will mean nothing to you. Till you experience it. You do not in deal in logic. You deal in experiece and emotion.
It was not the logic that I got first. It was the experience and the logic
came afterwards.
At the absolute level of reality. You are god. This is a wonderful and beautiful concept that makes logical sense, even scientific sense. Yet, as much
as it conceptually makes sense. I know that at this moment I am not god. I have not experieced it. If I had, would I even be here replying to
this?
Now, ask any people who has felt love and them what it feels like. They won't be able to explain it using words. They will just know. I was talking
to a very old man today at the Hospital who told me of his beautiful and almost three decade relationship with his wife. I asked him "do you love
your wife" He said to me that he cannot explain love. Love was like something that was just there, but you don't understand it. He said what he
shared between him and his wife was something very sacred. Yet, he could not explain it in words.
Now, ask a psychologist and depending the kind of systems they subscribe to, you'll get many answers. Each is based on a logic. Yet, all lack
something very crucial - experience. Something only this couple knows.
I have experience with the truth. When it presents itself. I know what it feels like. It's that feeling you get when you are solving a problem or
piecing a puzzle together and it becomes more clearer. You know when you have the solution. It's that moment of revelation that Einstein, Archmedes
and Newton got. The logic comes later.
Sometimes in my channeling sessions. I get very excited with some of the things I am getting and proclaim "By gosh, it's right!"
Whatever I am channeling. Is a very positive, loving and wise force. I feel it every moment I am in contact with this force. I am in love with this
force. As I said, I think it is the highest energy of god. When someone looks up at the clouds and sees a message that they needed to see at that
moment. No matter how much others doubt it and explain it as human tendency to see pattern in disorder. That message gave that person an expeience
that has verified itself for this person.
Now, this brings me to Linux's post - of "neurotransmitters" causing sensations. That is a label. It is not an explanation. All of psychology is
based on labels. Not explanations. All the person needs to know who is receiving this information or channeling an entity is experience. Something
that only they would know.
You see there is no such thing as coincidence. The coincidences like accidentally phoning your childhood friend you have not seen in 25 years, who
dies the next day -verifies itself. This is called synchronocity. There is order in chaos. If you start to channel an entity that represents chaos and
sickness and start to feel sick. It verifies itself.
In my family we are aways sychronistic events. When my uncle died, my uncle told me mom in the last phone call they had, that he felt like something
bad was going to happen to him. A few days later he died in an accident.
When my aunty died. That very same day, my 4 year old cousin woke up shouting "aunties house is on fire, aunties house is on fire" then went back to
sleep. Ironically enough, that is what she said before she passed over "My house is on fire"
As I revealed in the other thread. Just 2 days ago my mom had a precognitive dream of being in a hospital for a heart attack. The next day that was a
reality.
Somehow, for me. I managed to go from extreme atheism to pure spirituality, simply because of "chance" encounters with people. So, if you want my
honest insight. Then there is no coincidence. The events in our life are based on what we need.
If you channel an entity that gives you wisdom and teaches you about realising your higher self and being a free soul and you feel love. It verifies
itself.
Now, we could go in vicious circles. Where I say "I know" and then you say "I don't know". Such as "We don't know" nope I do understand. It's
very simple. It's a way of life for me. I have understood it, experienced and realised it. Yet, there are so many more truths to be realized. I will
not own "I am god" without actually experiencing it. I will not own "The afterlife is this and that" without actually experiencing it.
I might believe I am God and in astral realms etc. However, I would never say it is the "truth" because I have no proof subjective or objective for
this phenomena for myself. Some do, and I am inclined to believe them. But it is not my truth to own. Now, my guide actually told me about astral
realms. I am stating here that I do not regard it as a "truth" I regard it as a belief. As I believe my guide.
So, to say that I can be duped by my guide is wholly inaccurate. As I know myself. I know I live by truth. It is the highest virtue. It is knowledge.
A lot of people, and even I had those reservations, fear from society in declaring a truth or declaring enlightement. As people then begin to resent
you. "How could he know, I don't know and nobody else I know, knows" well that's because they are not looking. "How did he(Einstein) work out the
equations of relativity and not me" Well that is because Einstein asked the right questions.
So, deal with it. There are people more enlightened than others. Who know the picture better. All it is are people who have seeked and found. What
right do those who are not seeking, have to judge the seeking?
You will see this attitude prevalent throughout these forums. There are people, relative nobodies, sometimes just teenagers in high school, who will
doubt the knowledge of experienced and knowledgable people who have contributed some of their life to their research and skills.
I'll give you one such example from a few subjects: "The Sanskrit scholars mistranslated the ancient texts" "The pilots were unaware that they
were chasing fireflies" The most hilarious example of all is a childrens magician proclaiming the scientists, engineers, technicians,
parapsychologists, ufologists got it all wrong. This is the amazing Randi. A carticature of an investigator.
You see, in this society, even if the truth were to stare you right in the face. You still would not recognise it. When it really is - is just common
sense(that is not common) it is a body of knowledge that we all have and just few of us recognise we have.
Just like some us can see order in apparent chaos. Some of us can see the order in the apparent chaos of the universe.
Again, how many people are conned every year? I think you may speak for the minority of people when you say that. Some people still don't
realize a scam even if smacks them in the face.
And some people do realise a scam
]Your forgetting something, not everyone can differentiate a lie from the truth espically those who dabble in
]
And some do differentate a lie from a truth.
What you said is that broken glass is bad and an intact glass is good.
When did Isay broken glass is bad and intact glass is good? What I said, and made it clear enough: Can you use broken glass to drink?
As it's very obvious what the answer is. No, you cant. You need order to drink from a glass.
Now try this.
A group working together on building a structure,
each competing against each other.
A group working together on building a structure
each cooperating with each other.
Which is chaos and which is order and which
is in the best interests of the group and the structure
And for a creature of Light to use such violent imagery about "piercings" and "swords" -- I guess that's the "messiah" in you talking,
huh?
Is this the person who is channeling and defending an entity who represents chaos, speaks vulgarly and in insults and is pro-enslavement and death and
think we should consolidate and makes their host sick?
"The white energetic swords of truth pierce the darkness" It's a metaphor. Have you never heard the saying "swords of truth"
Just like carbon monoxide becomes carbon dioxide with the addition of a single oxygen atom becomes non-toxic. A metaphor of using swords of truth to
dispell ignorance becomes non-violent.
It is all in the framing. Like this:
He jumped out of the bush and shot him
