Carmody , since knowing comes with a price. Does that mean that we should remain ignorant and inoccent? Mmm (thinking aloud) .. a parable and a dillema.. but I think I would rather lose my 'choice' and stay with the 'knowing', and I feel you yourself might as well chose the same.Originally posted by Carmody: " Only the ignorant and the innocent can change where they're going and who they've been.
What is the price of knowing?: The loss of choice, and the consequence of acts. "
Ulli, What an interesting story! Yes, poor Uri. Uri Geller has been recruited to the CIA not as an employee (of course) but simply by being something like a laboratory guinea pig where they used his psychic abilities for experiments and for various other uses. He will probably won't see things quite like that.
Taking into consideration that CIA has researched and operated MKULtra since the early 50's, and that he was a good friends with Michael Jackson wich was most of his life under mind control himself , I think he is a good example of a 'mentalist' with real abilities that is under the supervision of the ones who prefer to leave the real knowledge for themselves and to control others.
I know he is good and sensitive person at heart, he is also one of those people who recieve the 11:11 phenomena (I do as well), he has in recent years participated in TV and game shows in Israel, I believe his naivetee and ego are his biggest obstacles.
Like Anastasia so accurately said: " Here's the thing, one of the cautions given at the school in reference to any of this work was to be sure to have as much as possible of the following: good intention, clarity, purity, honour, grace, and do no harm...otherwise the student would find that 'darkness' of intention would be insidiously seductive. It is stated that darknes devoures itself (the energy). It is a limited, erroneous force that cannot sustain itself. "
So I would say that power and psychic abilities DO exist. It is all a matter of what one does with it.
