The answer is within

[WhiteLove]

Some time back Dr. Richard Alan Miller pointed out in a radio show (for the moment I cannot remember which radio show, has listened to so many) that the answers are within.

This I found to be very fascinating and fully resonates with me. I think that the being is connected to a higher intelligence that orchestrates/shapes reality, you can find answers within by being aware of your inner life. Awareness of what is and has been going on inside of yourself allows you to process that information consciously and crystallize the best actions to take from them. This is a very natural process that appears to link to nature.

I have found this to be true, but it's not quite as simple as it sounds, like a lot of these maxims.

Often one has to hold the right question & be coming from the right "place" ..... many times getting to the "right question" opens the door to the answer of its self, or rather the answer becomes obvious when the correct question is arrived at.

It's also unfortunately one of those things "gurus" use to throw seekers back on themselves, "ah, but if you do not know the answer, look within yourself" ...... and of course when the seeker can't do that or nothing comes up they are left feeling inadequate & like some kind of failure that better not ask such a dumb question again .....

It can also lead people to open up to nefarious entities, some of which can in fact be one of the persons own egos... which can then lead to mythomania, I've seen it happen in a BIG way, so like most things of this nature, culturing detached observation is key to balance.

Surprised more people haven't chimed in on this thb !

Yes, I share much of this same perspective. I do think there is some truth to this, but in this kind of world at this point in time, it is not always easy to decipher the real effects. It currently appears to me that a pattern is manifested, wherein you first harmonize as you notice the new unsuspected synchronicity that you like (positive polarity), then old reflections surface (negative polarity) and then the true reflection continues (positive polarity). So it might be that what it does is to reverse negative cycles to more positive ones. These are just some ideas I have at this point. It is to a great degree this process of consciously aligning with your inner visions and the real question is what are the true implications of this, is it intelligent and should be done or is it a process of taking over some of the higher mind's work at the risk of causing a downgraded experience.

When that happens to me I take it that those are the two polarities of a ego or artificial mind construct that needs to be gone, holding the two sides as one in the mind & collapsing them into themselves can release some incredible insights, if that makes sense ?

From observing my own experience and then the experiences of others, it seems to me it all boils down to the struggle a human being has in weighting between their one life experience (this life) and beyond. And this essentially involves an evolution in one's metaphyiscal cosmological world view. It appears that most folks don't actually even consciously recognize this struggle. But even fewer ever consider that it is possible to have more than one answer to the question, "who/what am I" and that all the answers are "right."

Interesting idea that appears to have a positively balancing effect if I understand it correctly. I am thinking that maybe this is a process of releasing what I call density from the consciousness - the physical mind defines everything rationally and in doing so relative to the total it also introduces some amount of limitation/false, but by being consciously aware of what is going on internally and being aware that it binds into orchestrated manifestation, a new more true, more total version is formed and hence the consciousness is now (by being able to see the outcome of the internally guided actions) able to clear some false definition(s) that the mind was stuck with, as a more positive less limiting reality manifested, that gave some of the power/control back to the being.

BTW. One of my core ideas is that truth exists in layers, there are both subjective/relative truths, as well as more absolute/total truths. As the degree of absolute truth increases, the degree of limitation and negativity decreases. Here are a few examples:

- There is no such thing as free energy (relative truth level 4, absolute truth level 0)
- There is free energy, but you cannot tap it (relative truth level 3, absolute truth level 1)
- There is free energy, you can tap it, but not on earth (relative truth level 2, absolute truth level 2)
- There is free energy, you can tap it in small amounts on earth (relative truth level 1, absolute truth level 3)
- There is free energy, you can tap unlimited amounts of it, also on earth (relative truth level 0, absolute truth level 4)

Furthermore I am then theorizing that spirits and an entire civilization is able advance on this scale, so for instance by having reached (subjective) peace on earth, you are able to discover and manifest absolute truths that you cannot do in a more dense, more limited reality.

So for instance in a light density place of subjective truth, everything is known to be subjectively true and in this being you are collectively able to have peace, but it is peace as defined by a limited mind from a relative perspective. However heavenly it might appear, it is still limited by the subjectivity of the being at that realm.

However, absolute truth overcomes of course this too.

Its good to read folks exploring this, thanks for this thread... gives me more hope, frankly. So few seem to care.

Thanks Sam. With all of the artificial constructs that have been created to have various limiting effects, it is not always easy to go outside of that box and claim that there must be something more to the truth than what meets the eye. My theory boldly claims that yes that's in deed the case, there are higher level truths with less limiting impacts. I am going as far as to claim that creation is an infinite miracle. It is not just positive, but infinitely positive. So hence one can even be infinitely hopeful for the future because it holds realities that far exceed our current imagination and understanding.

Maybe some of the answers are literally within us, like in our DNA -- what is it: 97% of the human genome is a mystery, or "junk?"

[ghostrider]

Learning to speak, act, and think from ones inner voice is part of the spirit teaching ETs have been trying to teach us for the last 13,500 years... Evil men have always corrupted the teachings, creating a guru, priest, or so called spirit leader ... the realm of heaven is inside the human being. .. That inner spark is still connected to Creation, connected to the akashic records, a realm of energy that surrounds the earth , where all the knowledge of every lifetime is stored... Learning to access the potential wisdom, and learning to listen to the inner voice is the challenge of the ages ... look what our ancestors did to people in the past who tried to bring this message into the world ...

Whitelove's longer post above (#6) reminded me of Luc Besson's film "Lucy" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2872732/


It's a film which explores what the limits would be if our consciousness just kept expanding (the review on that link is by a moron btw) via a contemporary plot line of "drug mules" & the theories of a fringe scientist (Morgan Freeman) are used as a narrative to the plot to explain what is unfolding.

Just by chance it's on TV tonight in the UK on Film4 :happythumbsup:

I believe the answer IS within. Why? Well, think of the evidence. When you get some input, some advice, some recommendation, you check within to see if feels right.

Keeping it real simple here. :blackwidow:

I had an experience many years ago. I was struggling with a dilemma, can't even remember what it was. I had tried many techniques to get an answer - looking OUTSIDE of myself. Nothing was working. Finally, frustrated, I went to bed thinking I would sleep on it (another technique) and have the answer in the morning. Well, I slept fitfully, woke up and did NOT have the answer.

I sat up in bed, and asked as if in prayer - why can't I get the answer. I need resolution here. And I heard a voice. Seriously. It said, "Turn on the TV." Oh boy. I ignored it thinking it was a distraction from my prayer / plea. Again, the voice repeated, "Turn on the TV." I had one of those TVs where the channel buttons were in a vertical column, and I had to press the right button to get the station (yes, this was a while back). I turned on the TV and it automatically went to the preset channel 3 which was a (in my words) a godawful religious station. I groaned and went to change the channel, but before I could do so, heard them say,

Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

I thought that was cool and a nice message. Again, I went to change the channel, and in the next moment, I heard them say, "And remember, the answer is within you." Needless to say, I really got the message. At that point, I did turn off the TV, lay back in bed, went "within" (don't ask me how - I just did), and within 5 minutes I had the resolution to that gnarly problem. After days of struggle and anguish.

Shortly after that, while out exploring on the Olympic Peninsula, I stopped into a resort and in their gift shop found a beautiful photo card of a Native American woman, with a feather, fanning smoke, and an eagle and wolf in the photo with her - the inscription was "Listen to your heart. The power lies within..."

Imagine if you are "you," your name, your "story," this one life. Imagine that you are also "You" (the timeless, formless eternal one life) and that both of these "are true."

What appears "out there" to "you" is also (and actually) "within You," yes?

Both are "true" for me... but I would never presume to know what is true for the reader here (or any other).

All I am suggesting is that sometimes an answer we might seek appears to arrive from "out there" and sometimes an answer feels like it is coming from within... that maybe both can be true depending on the POV of who/what "Y(y)ou are" and then based on a particular perspective, from where the answer arrives.

I have sometimes interpreted external "happenings" as "signals" and then followed those signals with excellent results.

A poem
The Answer
I looked up to the sky
but found the answer did not lie
in such an open space.
I then turned to the sea
unsound to judge the thoughts of me
it was not the proper place.
The earth the sea the sky
so great are they so small am I
yet they hear not my case.
I know whom I must face
whether my act be just or sin
the answer lies within.

Most interesting thread! Loved the "detached observation" mention, Spiral! A few years ago I would not even have known what you meant by that! :ROFL: Because you have lived through things many of us have not, I always like to read your "take" on things! :highfive:

But even fewer ever consider that it is possible to have more than one answer to the question, "who/what am I" and that all the answers are "right."

....and "wrong".

and some of it "right" and some of it "wrong." Note my operative word "possible."

...it is all subjective... all depended on POV and the context of that in the moment.

Oh and in the case of subjective, nothing can ever be wrong. But it can be "wrong."

Is what you just wrote right or wrong, neither or both?

...and anyone can decide for themselves that something is wrong or right for themselves. Non-dualism can be "right" for someone, and for me it is also "right" along with the world of form as well... again, just speaking for myself.

I hear you, Sam. I appreciate your perspective.

I am not under the illusion of leading, the train moves in more then one direction.

The best view of life is having seen it from both the front and the rear.

[Michelle Marie]

To me it seems simple when I close my eyes and place my attention in my heart. I expose my true feelings to myself. I ask the higher intelligence for help.

My answers are certain and clear.

I meditate daily and it keeps getting deeper. I've left speculation (of the mind) and follow my heart to pure knowing.

A Master is one who masters him-herself, not others.

Never give up!
Love,
MM

The funny thing is, that which is sought isn't an answer or a question.

[integralpart]

As I interpreted "the answer is within", it means we know the answer ourselves, we just choose to follow it or not, it likes "follow your heart or follow your brain". Hope I understood correctly.
