Today I caught our cat sleeping in the pear tree pot.

Read all your post twice. I think I am missing something from your meaning.

My post was a reflection on how it is possible that someone can be limited by any particular phenomena -with the example being chakras and how it is possible that by allowing ephemeral things like that to become a stumbling block. If I am conveying the idea that this is itself limiting - then I failed.

We are limited by incarnation, we are limited in many ways. It is this limitation that eggs us on to discover the paths to freedom from limitation. However, if we allow ourselves to be tied up in the limitations, we may find it a stumbling block to progress. What is a limitation to some, is learning for another - so its hard to be general about what is what.

I hope that makes my meaning clearer.

Thanks

(nice to see you in the Village BTW )

i do believe the message was clear in your first post. that is, if im actually getting it

i had got the impression from your post that you do not believe getting in touch with your chakas is a necessary part of your path. which is perfectly fine, im definitely not going to tell you if it is or it isnt

im only suggesting that by believing this is not a necessary part of your path, your belief will become a limit you have placed on yourself. the conscious mind has a lot of power in creating our reality, shaping our reality, and limiting our reality. and this power grows right along with our level of awareness. since it hasnt happened yet, is that it to say it shouldnt happen, or wont happen, or doesnt need to happen?

if i have misinterpreted or assumed wrong, i apologize


yes, we are all limited by karma, our lifes path, our higher self, etc etc. but i do think we could always use our conscious minds a little better in helping us to solve the riddles of infinity. and yes, i do believe the riddle of infinity can be solved if we learn to use the conscious mind more to our advantage. in our search, sometimes we are looking for answers but we havent asked the right questions yet.............or perhaps we still have a belief we have not let go of that gets in our way.

if i told you all that you were unlimited, would you believe it?

This morning i woke to a lovely brisk air. After meditating i got excited because today is gardening day and i am planting a new rose bush :-)

Then ill be in my shed working on a new induction system for nitromethane top fuel dragsters :-)

Then im off to lunch with the misses and watch a dvd, perhaps curb your enthusiasm, i love larry david, he is so politically corrupt and incorrect. Adorable!

I did some yoga last night, the missus is introducing me to it but i much prefer to hit a punching bag.

I love life and im ( apparently ) spreading infections all over the place so if you dont want to catch it, get your spiritual condoms out!

She loves to poise and ponder about that with her brother Tommy too.



There must be a picture of them somewhere, where they lie in a perfect yin yang circle, which is their favourite choice of sleeping and when I find it, I will post it here and now.

"It strikes me that most people do not attempt to correct their breathing - I have a basic problem with doing this myself - and is a lot more fundamental than the orderly functioning of the higher energy systems of the body. In most systems of study I have seen it is actually a precursor anyway. The taking of a few "conscious" deep regular breaths before entering into the first stages of meditation is pretty common to all systems; and in my experience essential."

Anchor posted this back there somewhere in a longer post. I just wanted to add that learning to control my breathing, practice practice practice, was one of the greatest things I ever did for myself. It actually changed me, it caused my ego to be less emphasized, it made my thoughts clearer, it made my body healthier. It eventually became automatic, although I have now slipped back to mostly unconscious breathing, but can still get down to 2 breaths / minute during deep meditation for up to 15 minutes sustained -- but its the daily automated controlled breathing I miss (automated controlled? oxymoron of the day ). So much practice needed -- so little time

Final point - everyone can change their lives via the breath alone, it's worth the effort.

I wrote a little tidbit to get people thinking a few years back (in fact I wrote quite a lot back then). I just stumbled upon it again on a blog that I started, made one post, then abandoned it completely for three years. Here's the link to my one post there: http://observationssquared.blogspot....-post-off.html

It's a little deep and assumes some basic understandings of some technical metaphysics, but for those who like to tickle their mind feel free to read it.

Help. My husband is suicidal, and has been for two weeks. I ask for balance, a loving courageous heart, because I am overwhelmed right now. .

Sierra

Asking for the clear light to permeate and heal your husband of all despair and conflict from inside out, for all guardian beings to focus their uplifting love in his direction, that the optimum outcome be realized, and that all be happy, all be at peace with themselves and with each other, that all awaken to this beauty we are and have always been, and will always be, beyond words and notions, brilliant divine shine, supreme omnidirectional radiance, shanti, shanti, om

As I read Bob's invocation, I resonated immediately and it's repetition is added as my prayer. I have no idea how effective I am at getting out of the way and allowing source to move through me, but my intent is strong and my heart chakra feels like a transmitter.

Hard to imagine people strangling those lovely animals.

Very cute. Also, a clear sign that there is no pee or poo in the dirt.............yet.

Strangling might then enter the thought process. LOL To be dispelled, of course.

I love cats. I just don't like owning pets. Or people, for that matter.

Tent living is a simple life.

Imagine the expansion of our personal and collective vibrational frequency if we regularly and sincerely focused our intent and attention on prayers for each other, rather than on reinforcing conceptual divisions, self-aggrandizement, petty bickering, and perpetual conflict over silly sh*t that ultimately amounts to nothing . . . that to me is the promise of communities like the Village here -- to create the healing protoype in preparation for what's just around the corner, where such communities will be the saving grace of humanity itself.

That's interesting as I once designed some new intake horns for N/A vehicles. It needed a bit of work, but it had the chance of equalizing HP across the range, instead of peaking it.

[Sierra]

I'm feeling so much better, thank you all. I have every confidence this is going to smooth itself out in a couple of weeks.

(WCBD, I burst out laughing that your husband was more concerned about me.) (Give him a hug for me.)

Yes, one does not generally understand how important breathing properly is..until they dedicate themselves enough to immerse in it.

The rest of it is why the cave works so well, with regard to personal elevation and non-integration with the world at large. It isn't selfish, it is merely a requirement, if one attempts to head for the peaks of it all.
