    Sardonic ... a new word to add to my repertoire of words to describe myself with. Never heard that one before, oddly enough. Thanks!
    When you are one step ahead of the crowd, you are a genius.
    Two steps ahead, and you are deemed a crackpot.

    oK i am in for googling sardonic.... in case, et prend mon trou pour la connaissance de l'anglais mais non lolllll I misinterpreted him quite possibly.

    Or, could we say that my answer could have been sardonic as well, intentionally?

    Quote adjective [usually ADJECTIVE noun]
    If you describe someone as sardonic, you mean their attitude to people or things is humorous but rather critical.
    ...a big, sardonic man, who intimidated his students.
    ...a sardonic sense of humour.
    Synonyms: mocking, cynical, dry, bitter

    français: sardonique
    démoniaque diabolique malicieux moqueur narquois

    Shintoism if you want a conversation with everything, Catharism if you want to touch absolutely nothing and breathe with your eyes shut...
    Snomanism if you understand why some of us occsionally, unsconsciously say thank you to the cash machine when it places cash in your hand.

    Conscious is the miracle. The greatest mystery, established and forever inviolate.

    It is the Joy of the Creator made manifest!

    You are Its proof

    So is the Mystery that is Life. Life in every form is intelligent, symmetric and beautiful.

    In Vedic literature it’s called Satyam Shivam Sundaram. It’s truthful, peaceful and beautiful.

    People who understood and worshipped Life and the Source of Life in pure form were the original maharishis of the Vedas,
    the Sapta Rishis, the great Bodhisatvas and their countless disciples

    they all worshipped Life as higher entity not serving crude matter.

    In this age of MahaKali Yuga the principle of Duality is worshipped known as as the Yin and Yang, male and the female , endless war ..

    I’m fainting on this end ..of..transmission

    The closest to reality observation is that we are conscious and aware, that is consciousness self conscious of itself and receiving feedback from its natural expansion to the infinite reality we call Universe.

    As many new identities or phenomena you or I encounter so many new consciousnesses are created like pictures in calleidoscope of mind with all its infinite combinations of shapes and colours yet exploring familiar patterns.

    Consciousness is a feedback we receive from any new type of identity or situation.

    Consciousnesses there for do not exist independently without relativity of observer and observed.
    The way we are predisposed to receive feedback on contacting any outer reality through our senses including the ‘sense of mind’ as many states of consciousness we create and experience
    and we know the real number is nearing infinite .

    Thus all perception of ourselves within the bubble of this particular Universe is rather illusory, swept by the waves of great cosmic reality there’s but limited sense we are able to make of it all at any given moment.

    Yet our consciousness is expanding, reaching for information coming from near and far. Can we really make a breakthrough ?

    Hypothetically, we can. Perhaps the only way how human civilisation can survive and evolve is by creating new more advanced consciousnesses ..

    The obvious is becoming obvious to the western scientists, better late than never I suppose!

    Perhaps one day western society will become wise too instead of being merely intelligent.

    Universal consciousness with individual awareness based on the complexity of the system.

    Now if we contemplate what is the next level to consciousness and consciousnesses

    there’s Pure Awareness ..

    Beyond the faculty and realm of Pure Awareness that is like laser beam of consciousness dispelling darkness ..

    reaching far to boundless entities of vast Space

    There’s a realm of “Pure Vision” or “Seeing” the array of realities right before reflecting on them this arising in the realm of consciousness


    Behind the abyss of great Void that fills gas and space between different modulations of what we understand as our current Universe


    There’s last but not least ..the Original Consciousness of every entity .

    You experience this essential pure and original Consciousness at times of birth, death, traumatic events but also during your deep sleep.

    It’s the Primordial Consciousness of your Biological Entity and your Species.

    Out of that Consciousness human consciousness is like a Dream of millions of fragments of consciousness most of whom are irrelevant junk


    Your original Awareness is your “Body of Causality” , your higher form body, your Nirmanakaya.


    That awareness is pure in its focus and intention

    and also very powerful wherever it goes

    My beliefs are that it takes biology to incarnate a soul, and a soul is the basis of consciousness. In other words a rock or spoon is not conscious.

    This thread seems like what the cybernetic network folks were talking about when they said they would be unrolling new age psyop into science.

    Hello Omni,

    I tend to agree .


    Makes me think of ancient philosopher ( or yogi, alternatively) sitting in front of rock for thousand years waiting for revelation ...

    sign of God ..something ..

    after thousand years the rock opens up ,
    waterfall rushes down
    the man gets washed thoroughly after all those years
    and his God speaks to Him


    Got carried away. Material Universe is a like a dead remnant of some older Living Universe It’s time is very slow and it keeps disintegrating ..

    Therefor you can’t find ‘enlightenment’ in material Universe.


    Living consciousness oscillates on much faster frequency . We can only subdue it but not be subdued to it least we die.

    Hi Wind

    I think western scientists or rather their masters, the ones who run the show from behind occult screens of deception have always known.

    they have kept the general public dumb'd down from this truth so they can use us to do their destructive work and so not effect or break the natural laws of the universe, they stay clean and in power, we stay dirty and weak
    I'm a simple easy going guy that is very upset/sad with the worlds hidden controllers!
    We need LEADERS who bat from the HEART!
    Rise up above them Dark evil doers, not within anger but with LOVE
