It's okay to be gullible.

[100thmonkey]

That's the point of incarnating in a body. The distraction of flesh seperates our awareness from spirit so that we can have a pure ignorant start in life, and our journey goes from there.

Life is not a Test.
There is no Pass or Fail.

There is only Experience.
Experience is the ends and the means.

We don't have to get it right 'or else'.

A spiritual experience is great, but a physical experience is also.

Some tend to look down on those caught up in the 'traps' of this modern age of TV's, Playstation, fashion, sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, sport, celebrity gossip - but maybe those ignorant 'sheeple' are actually fulfilling the purpose of life more fully than one who rejects such frivolities?

They're here doing what they incarnated for.

Why shouldn't those things (TV, fashion, etc) be enjoyed for what they are? They haven't existed in any other era, maybe we shouldn't miss our opportunity to experience them, while they last?


I see people giving all kinds of warnings about having to be enlightened, and raise our vibration, be ready for Maitreya, watch out for demons, beware this, get right now, etc.

Don't worry about it.

It's all experience.

So we don't 'get it' in this life?
Is everything decided by just one life?

It's our true self, our higher spirit, that is collecting all these experiences, from multiple lives, and that is the part of us doing all the learning, not this meat bag we're inhabiting - and that higher part of us is eternally secure.

Maybe somebody has already done the enlightened, spiritually wise thing in a prior life? Maybe they're here this time to experience the darker side? or any number of experiences in between - to fill in the gaps our higher self is looking to explore, in order to learn from.

Once our higher self has experienced, and learned, all it needs to 'ascend' (both light and dark) then it will move on to higher realms - by Default.
We don't need to force anything from our side,
and especially don't need to stress out about our eternal fate.

Even if the climate goes bust.
Even if we run out of oil and the dollar crashes.
Even if the "bad guys" 'win'.
Even if not enough of humanity has achieved 'oneness' before the galactic superwave hits.
Even if we're not personally "51% Good" by '2012'.
Even if alien motherships appear over every capital city then land on the whitehouse lawn promising to give us world peace and high technology, welcoming us into the Galactic Federation of Light! (...but oh no, it's really all a Bluebeam lie and the aliens are programmable life forms created in a gov't lab for the Illuminati 'strong delusion' - to fool even the 'elect', if that were possible...)
It's all just another Experience.

Experience is the only goal of each incarnation.
It's all right.

Nice very nice, hmmm... beautiful... transcending!... ugly... holistic.. the great sh*tshow!

thank you, 100thmonkey

[joe2288]

Exactly you need to just enjoy your life because even though this might not be

your last life it would be a waste of an entire lifetime to always be worrying or

griped in fear its taken me years to realize to just live and enjoy life regardless

of all the bs going around honestlly idc if 2012 is the end of the world if people

wanna manipulate other people go ahead because some people choose to be

manipulated and thats there descision and if people wanna live there life in a

false reality hey it's there choice people have had amazing life's not knowing the

truth and some people are happier that way It basically comes down to this

you choose your own reality and whether it's good or bad its still your reality

and you can make the worst or best out of it because its up to you

[Carmen]

Indeed, a great post.

Cheers

100thmonkey, you couldn't have put it any better! That's a superb thumbnail sketch of what we're here for. (I wish I'd thought of it.)

[micjer]

I'd much prefer to be labelled gullible and explore life then to walk with my head down believing everything MSM tells me. Wouldn't that be boring.

My wife might like it because I wouldn't be on the computer as much!!!

[Carmen]

Freedom, freedom of spirit. Freedom to explore anything and everything we wish to. This is soo important to me!

The church would always stop enquiring minds asking questions by saying "Its of the devil!!' We have the same thing here, except its "Disinformation!!

The whole world opens up when we stop categorising everything into good or bad. The magic is beyond good or bad.

Love and Light

100thMonkey,

I have a ski lodge in Texas. Who would like to buy it?

I'll sell it for $500.

You can move in right away.

It makes $230,000 every winter.

Best deal on the Internet!

Yeah, well, there's a difference between being gullible and being dumb.

[100thmonkey]

WS, although the thread title became a play on your own, this topic is something I've been wanting to post for a while and is intended for the entire forum, not just as a response to you.
It was your thread that inspired me to finally get it together though, and also gave me a title better than the ones I had been thinking of... so, thanks.

Just to clarify,
I'm not promoting gullibility, in fact I actively resist gullibility in myself as much as possible - but I am saying that it's okay - because I don't believe there's anything to fear in an afterlife if we don't get things right here and now.

The link in my sig may give a better understanding of where I'm coming from.

[Pangaea]

observe as much as you can, learn as much as you can, both the good and the bad, the relevent and the irrelevent, the bright and the dark. From what you have learnt always be aware but never belive.

Your only belief is the fact of infinite possibilies which is more then anyone could possibly every ask for.


So take the weight off your sholders, know thats its enough to just be aware.

[Carmen]

You are so lucky to have a ski lodge in Texas! Who did you buy it off?

Nice cozy discussion in here...

I agree with most posts, there are many different ways to look at Life! Hard to say one is right another is wrong, when all have our own unique Divine Plan for this life.

At some level, souls are just here for experience, at some we have very specific missions to help raise up the whole.

I certainly agree that we should not take ourselves to seriously, whatever our purpose, this is the Divine comedy after all, and one of the things that will make life bearable and fun here is when we are willing to laugh at ourselves!

Have a good laugh!!!!



What happens on earth, really is like a ride, an amusement ride, or a film, in the Schoolroom of infinity. Experiences we can take with us on our soul journey's throughout creation, yet more than just an experience, a challenge and opportunity to grow and BEcome MORE.

To me, the ultimate goal in Life here is to Be below, all we are above.

Meaning, each of us does indeed have a higher Self, an I AM Self, which we are an extension of. The ultimate goal is to realize this truly through Self realization, human know thySelf, and Be that I AM here in embodiment by moving beyond the ego, beyond the thinker, into the state of BEing here in the Now.

I suggest we are all unique expressions of the infinite. We are here to shine our unique divine Light by Being an open door for our own heart Flame, our own God Flame.

This is fun! This is Life! This is what it's all about.

And right now, there is plenty of darkness to shine our Light on, not much better time to choose to Be ~ !

As for forgiveness and making mistakes, we must have the strength to forgive ourselves, or we will never forgive others. We're not here to be perfect, we're here to remember who we really are regardless of our past decisions. We are Sons and Daughters of the infinite having a material experience. I say, remember who you are beyond the thinker and Be Below all you are above ~ Just Be.

[Jonah]

now hears a thread I can read...

not as much ego one this one :}

[alchemikey]

so much wisdom being shared here...reminded me of a poem i wrote a little while back:

I am you and you are me
That's all i have to say to thee

At the core we are all the same
One self playing the manyness game

The original desire that flung us afar
Experience junkies is what we all are

Each choice adds diversity and beauty
Different paths do not change our unity

Every single wave returns to the ocean
Don't fear dissolving without any motion

Permanent awareness forever at rest
Only perfection...no worst and no best

With or without form life does persist
The cycles of creation are not to resist

In timelessness there is no idea of when
Don't worry...it can all be created again

peace,
mikey

[100thmonkey]

Alchemikey, that's excellent.
Poetry isn't usually my thing, but you've summed up so much in such little sentences.
As Darth Vader would say, "Most impressive."

[Zeddo]

I understand where this thread comes from, and while I disagree, I also understand that essentially, everything said here is 100% true.

We are a total sum of ALL the parts and all of the parts serve a different function. I guess that is what makes things so colourful!

I personally do not wish to return to this planet after this time. I believe in my heart that there is much more excitement and adventure beyond these five senses. I'm ready for a knowingness that does not involve currency. I see corruption everywhere born of the fear of not having enough.

Anyone want my stuff and my (Future) earth experiences? You can have them. I'll 'freak out' over how to make this my last time through. I crave the adventures that lie off planet.

Just another spirit offering his 2 cents. (Again with the currency. Sheesh!)

I know some of you are going to call me crazy but honestly id love to come

back to Earth. This planets like the wild west untamed and full of adventure.

Yes there is much knowledge and adventure beyond earth and if you are

ready and its your time, then you can explore other places. I believe present

earth has allot to offer and its up to you get as much out of her

as possible. For some this might be your last time here, for others there is

more to be learned, just remember we all chose to come here and we can all

chose to move on but to move on you must grow and only you will know when

your ready. Me personally i am comfortable being here, but if i have learned all

i can, them i am ready to go, just don't give up on earth and enjoy your time

here its an adventure.

[Carmen]

Im with you joe. I want to be here or come back and help with the healing of the earth. I want to replant the forests. Help clean up the mess we have made and restore the earths pristine beauty again.

My vision is one of a beautiful earth garden full of abundant forests and animals and humans. Everything glowing with health and happiness.

Love and Light

Carmen

I definitely agree with that and in no way wish to leave anyone hanging by leaving, but when my experience is done, I am eager to explore.
