Default just my observation from reading your

posts...
We are different people from those that we still were a few months ago; less gullible, more open, discerning better, trusting our own truth and intuition, looking for answers within ourselves, realizing that a lot depends on us, more loving, more courageous, jumping into conclusions less qickly, believing in our own power and divinity...we are undergoing a metamorphosis.....

I agree with you.

I think what needs to happen next is for members to demonstrate better manners toward each other and to spend more time thinking about points made by others in their posts before responding to them in a fashion that indicates to me a knee-jerk reaction. It seems to me people often post pat answers that really don't contribute anything to learning or making progress.

I also think there needs to be less preaching and more demonstrating by example.

Perhaps. I don't see it that way, however.

Ugh.... I liked both answers and think they contribute to understanding and give one some things to think about. I agree with your first post Burgundia. We are all growing, and getting to know one another and our styles. We are real people sharing our hearts here, and for the most part if we think of sitting at a table sharing a cup of coffee, tea, or a beverage of choice some of us might not get so snarky.

I can tell everyone here openly that I never intend to offend and I will not react in a spiteful manner unless I have fallen down into some mudpit of scorpio nastiness which I am not known for, but I won't say is impossible to happen. I have always strived to take the high road in forums despite less than congenial treatment by some.

I am sincerely enjoying getting to know each of you and wish more of the lurkers would share their thoughts and feelings even if they don't see themselves as a researcher or whatever they think they need to be to be active here. Everyone has something to share, and I love meeting new people.

Hugs,

Unified Serenity

So long as people stay constructive and on-topic this forum will continue to grow. Nothing annoys me more than a mile long post that fails to make a point.

I can really relate to what you're saying!

I LOVE the short posts.

Another annoying thing is posts that look like the words of the Avalon member, but they're actually a copy and paste.

Life is a meditation .
I think as we grow in consciousness it's getting smoother.
In the other one one sees himself so judgement drops .
When judgement drops love comes into play .
When loves comes into play separateness vanishes
Where we were seeing two we only now see ONE.
When One is all energy flows freely and becomes light.

Loving kindness

Feed your head. I've been 'dead' for 6 minutes & one of the things I remember from that experience is that your 'mind' & 'soul' are one. Every bit of 'knowledge' you've absorbed during your lifetime, becomes crystal clear when you die. If there's one reason why we are here, it is to 'learn' as much as possible about everything life is teaching us. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' or 'good or 'bad' as long as you're not 'aware' of that, but at the instant you're 'aware' of something (anything) it becomes part of your 'being' & you can't hide behind ignorance anymore. That doesn't mean you have to live the life of a saint, it just means that when you die, you have to look at yourself (as if you're looking in a mirror) & judge upon yourself. You are your own judge.
The moment you're aware of that, & you can 'say' 'I have no regrets, I followed my heart & did what I thought was good', your 'soul' can make the choice to go 'through the mirror' & journey into the universe.
Choices, choices...

Nice post Trancoso with most people there is a general fear of dying . Most want to hang on and ride it out , Don`t get me wrong I`m not about to jump in front of a bus or anything but i have come to grips with death and if it happens so be it .A good friend of mine once told me the death is just the beginning of life

Thanx, Northern Boy.
Now, let me tell you what happened when I died.
I was stabbed in my back, by a psychopath, with a butcher knife.
Your worse nightmare. Horror shoccking.
Anyway, I made it to the ambulance, & on my way to the hospital, all of a sudden I got very, very cold.
Next thing I know my 'spirit' left my body, & I was totally alone.
Alone as in ALONE.
You die ALONE.
There's nobody you can call on your cell phone, (which I never had & will have) just you and your mind.
Because your mind lives on.
Your thoughts don't stop.
Amazing.
So you realize something's going wrong, you're very cold & you' re completely on your own.
Then comes the 'mirror'.

Now, in my case, I returned because 'the Gods' (so not just one God, but Gods) decided so.
I didn't mind to die.
Actually, it was the best feeling I've ever had.
And not just that, it's something you've been through a thousand times before, so you recognize what's happening.
It's like going to the 'bathroom'.
Nothing new, nothing fancy.

Now, I felt like a king in his castle. I've always done, & still do, as I please. I've saved lives then, & saved an 'important' live, a live that saved lots of other lives, so I died & will die again, with a good feeling. Only, next time I'll die I know what will happen. And I'm going 'through that mirror, into the universe', no matter who I think might be waiting for me, or is actually waiting for me.
Because, in the end, you are alone.

The only way to leave this planet, is to deal with yourself.
Almost everybody is afraid to be alone, but you & only you can make a difference. All you have is yourself. Everything & everybody else is an illusion you keep going on for as long as you want.

We live in a time where all information & knowledge you can think of is available, just by hitting the right key. Everything anybody could ever imagine is there to absorbe for every soul alive. And yet we behave like sheep on their way to the slaughterhouse.

So make sure you can live with yourself, 'cause I reckon, if you can't, death ain't a party & you hate yourself for being such a fool, coward or sheep, in the life you're leaving.

Live stupid, die stupid.

More Confirmation of the Truth...

Been there; done that. I woke in

Lovely post TRANCOSO


When it is time

God will hold the rearview mirror in front of our souls to see
And we will watch our lives flash by
And sense our touch upon the others
And we ourselves will have to judge our lives

Thank you for this post, Trancoso. It can be "smelt" it is authentic and sincere experience that help us for better understanding. I believe you can tell us more about it, if you recall and if you are willing to. Tell us more about "Gods", about "being alone at the end"...

Respect

You have a good nose, Oliver. Thanx for your reply.
By the way, I'm a writer & my first book IK GELOOF ALLES! (I BELIEVE ANYTHING!) was published by FRONTIER PUBLISHING, which is also the publisher of FRONTIER MAGAZINE, the Dutch equivalent of the Australian 'NEXUS' magazine. Meaning that I'm for real & not a 'poser'. My book can't be translated in any other language, which is exactly how it's meant to be. Meaning that I'm not trying to sell you anything. Whatever I write for this forum are personal experiences. Please believe me when I say that I've experienced more than a lot & I'm not making anything up.

Oliver, it's just one book (IK GELOOF ALLES! & nog veel meer ...) & it can't be translated because it's a serious, but also very funny book & most of the jokes & 'tongue in cheek' is so 'Dutch', that it would go totally lost in (any) translation.

As an anti globalist I can see the fun side of writing a book that can only be understood by people who understand the Dutch language.
