    From another thread on the origins of voice/thought (started by noprophet), two comments I made:

    language could be seen as temporally related transference of information, in a temporally based environment.

    Imperfect transfer in an imperfect system.

    As it is individualized, internally, thus... each interpretation and transmission is different. The aspect of time makes it so.

    It is borne of reflection. In either transmission or reception.

    The medium is of both unity and quanta, thus the rise of the temporal aspect - quanta to quanta differentials.

    --and---


    It is my direct experience that there is more intelligence outside of conscious worded thought than there is in it.

    any human time based existence, by it's very nature will possess a smaller circle of logic than a system of transfer that is outside of time. Logic, plain and simple.

    The lack of time, means, in this case, infinite, all or any time, thus the system has a reach that does not exist in the time base system, which has finite aspects.

    Thus, those who work or exist outside of a purely time based existence (larger circle of logic and expression) will naturally exceed that of people who live in a purely time based existence.

    Silencing the mind's internal voice and silencing the emotional situation that gives rise to it, brings this aspect out and it can be understood and possibly even articulated. It is far more potent and expressive, though, within the context of it's native environment, which is multidimensional and timeless.

    And what comes in from there, cannot be entirely articulated into words. Only partially. Thus this partial aspect does not serve the system of translation in the 3d time based world and the data can be perceived as meaningless or incompatible.

    From a no time expression into a time expression, means there is simply not a rational medium of transfer of this timeless information... into a time based medium.

    This is another aspect or expression of what NancyV said, but sometimes it is needed just to get that point of incompatible transfer mediums and incompatible translation mediums across to the given individual, an individual who is basing their experiences purely in time and 3d.

    I'm sorry. I just described infinity as an all translation, all communication, outside of time construct. Apologies.

    Perhaps that is why it is perceived as some form of infinity, like god... outside of that, as seen or perceived within the flow of time. The all communication or all translation or all god, infinity, cannot be wholly perceived within the segmented or quantified finite construct. Which leads to the misconstruing of what it is, as a natural case or state of affairs.

    But since the individual can connect to that through the doorway of the no voice state, then the view is entirely personal and not translatable or transferable.

    Exactly. I'm only wondering if your words can serve anyone who has not seen this for themselves.
    One more thing.... all these futile attempts to accurately express the inexpressible have given us a great heritage of art and literature,
    and out of that dismay can actually come pure enjoyment.

    Earlier on today I was reading Bob Makransky's newsletter for June, and one paragraph struck me as being about what you have been saying:

    ".....our true feelings are reality, whereas our concepts are just a copy of reality;
    and to make things happen in reality we must work with our true feelings, not our thought forms.
    Thought forms don't have any power behind them – ...."

    quite a long article; here is the link in case anyone is interested in reading more.

    Right...this is the ideal, or I-deal...the deal the real "I" made before coming into form.
    And once that is understood then more and more that higher part of ourselves can take over
    and use the mind as a tool with which to transform the 3 D world to something that resembles the higher heavenly worlds.
    All the while being fully aware that the mind is only a tool and must never be allowed to be in charge.

    Good morning to everyone! Thank you to everyone for your wonderful posts - this thread is great, so much learning to be found here, i love to catch up. I, for one, sincerely appreciate all the open sharing going on

    My here and now: I have a sleeping dog next to me and i can hear the clock ticking. There are so many blackbirds in my garden at the mo, i am listening to them chatting away - they're all feeding young and some of them are looking frazzled as a result, parenthood can indeed be exhausting. My thinking turns to how later i will be making up some food for them with my son. He has now finished all his tests at school, he is moving up to secondary school in september, he's nervous, but excited. I have some anxiety about it too, such a big change for him - he doesn't cope well with change at times and really grieves for everything when he moves on. Humbly, any advice on helping him through this would be greatly appreciated. He is Taurean and is very 'bull headed' and strong willed, but is also very sensitive and deep feeling. He is 11.

    I have just realised that asking for advice is my reason for posting, i don't post much, but was compelled to this morning - that would be why... Just taking 5 mins to be aware of my environment allowed it to bubble through. Awesome

    Love to everyone ♥♥♥

    Thanks for sharing. Since the school change is already decided on I feel the best thing is now to trust.
    The emotions thus created will be to everyone's benefit, far more than fear and worry that something
    painful will happen to him.
    All lives have future pain- that is a given. But equally there is plenty of joy in his future, and he will have lots of fun.
    I wouldn't worry at this point.
    Nor can you prepare other than with a resolve to be there for him whenever he needs you. I hope this helps.

    Hello Rainbowbrite,

    Have your son recall the patterns of every summer and the first day of school. My guess is that it’s all the same: excitement, fear, confusion. Remind him that it’s the same for every single one of his friends. But by the second or third day, it’s old hat.

    Share this secret: teachers feel the same way he does.

    Fear of the unknown is just worry turned inside out.

    Happy summer vacation to You and your Son and your Doggie and Blackbirds!

    Peace,
    WhiteCrowBlackDeer

    The thing about it, is that it is a paradox. The creation of and the existence of the 16 ton block and it being at the bottom of an ocean beneath that block, is an illusion.
    Yes, I recognise the delusion, and have a loooong way to go before replacing the block with a "no thing".
    And I do know of this thing called meditation. I make and take time for vigilance.
    The first few years when I arrived in Germany, I attended a yearly silent retreat for 7 days. Those who know me found this notion of me not speaking for 7 days absurd.

    In that space I was well able to dust the shelves. It was also easier to revisit that emptiness in the days/months following.
    It has been too long....... (away from home)

    What/who drives me? Enneagram social 8. Aquarian. Sun in Aquarius. Moon in Gemini. Scorpio ascendant.....

    p.s. stop editing your posts, trying to catch up
    p.p.s. could you perhaps pay my rent for a coupla months so I can walk into a forest? thank you please
    p.p.p.s. deep gratitude (ego, body & soul) for your patience and service.
    p.p.p.p.s Ulli, I love you too!
    Hi ViralSpiral,

    I'm an Enneagram 5 with a 4 wing, and 8 is my continuing path. Interesting stuff, the Enneagram.

    Peace.

    Loading plants and shovel in my car - off to the community gardening plot. We just had 2 nights with patchy frost. Even though the local wisdom is not to put in peppers and tomatoes before June 15th, I am going to take the chance, and hopefully give them two extra weeks in the ground. Very strange (even after nearly 10 years of living this far North) to be planting a garden when many gardeners in the northern hemisphere are harvesting greens (at least) and have well-established gardens by the time this calendar page is turned. Our short, but intense, growing season is here.

    I will look for a hawk soaring above my garden today, smiling to Jorr's spirit.

    I keep promising myself to buy Mms, I really should. Thanks for the link BC I'm happy to donate. I've read Jims book. Hope your well, have been thinking of you.

    Love to Astrid and a massive hug for Nora.

    Hope Whisky Mystic hangs around more often, that Avatar always makes me smile.
    Hey whitefeather good to see you back

    If life has taught me one thing it is "where focus goes, energy flows." If one looks into the abyss long enough it will eventually suck one in.
    If life has a purpose for the living it is to help create a world that we can be proud of handing over to our grandchildren.
    Such a world has in it love, kindness, laughter, knowledge, work one enjoys, and community and family fun.
    And in order to serve humanity with such ideal in mind one needs to maintain one's mind clean.
    A task which only the self can perform.
    Those who want to do the collective cleaning-up job on behalf of all humanity--- while they deserve everyone's respect and support -yet they ought to abstain from picking up every piece of dirt and hold it up in everyone's face.
    While they perform a great service it should be understood that buckets and mops are best brought out at nights while businesses are closed to the public.

    I only just found out about Jorr. Shocked. I know how much we all loved him here in the village. Hugs all round. x
