    Funny synchronicty today; last night I posted:

    Quote Posted by Playdo of Ataraxas (here)
    For a long time now, I have chosen to forge ahead, and not go back too far and process past events....
    On my comics page that I read everyday, my favorite strip is Calvin and Hobbes, and I always read it first. Here is the one posted today:
    And if we go to the wiki page for Hobbes, we find the image from the inside cover of his work 'leviathan', which is about:

    In Leviathan, Hobbes set out his doctrine of the foundation of states and legitimate governments – originating social contract theory. Leviathan was written during the English Civil War; much of the book is occupied with demonstrating the necessity of a strong central authority to avoid the evil of discord and civil war.

    Beginning from a mechanistic understanding of human beings and the passions, Hobbes postulates what life would be like without government, a condition which he calls the state of nature. In that state, each person would have a right, or license, to everything in the world. This, Hobbes argues, would lead to a "war of all against all" (bellum omnium contra omnes). The description contains what has been called one of the best known passages in English philosophy, which describes the natural state mankind would be in, were it not for political community:

    In such condition, there is no place for industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

    and the image itself, of 'leviathan':

    expand the image, and look closely.

    I don't know. Ha! The only thing I can come up with is that if we all communicated through telepathy, and not verbal, nor written communication, it might possibly successfully fulfill each of the maxims: Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner.
    When I was about 8 or 9 through tears in my eyes from all the injustices I saw in the world (and at that age I didn't see all that many yet), I proclaimed to my mom that if only we could all be telepathic the world would be a far better place; no one could misunderstand one another and no one could lie. Every single issue on the planet solved.

    General question: would you give up the privacy of your mind to achieve this? To become, in operation as well as in source, a single being comprised of all individuals on earth? Fascinating concept, isn't it?
    I have cleared myself. I have nothing to hide. All the things that used to bother me (that made me wince), bother me no more.

    Besides, there ARE boundaries in psychic connectivity that we naturally do not cross. Even in a full overlay, we get nothing but the general 'now', not the full details of one's origins. Our vibration is too different for that, but we can get a 'feed' off of "others" senses, as the mechanism is near identical.

    It's like borrowing someone's car, we can get the basics but not the in depth details, no x-ray capacity. if we did that, we'd be them ,and that's not the point. But really, it is a matter of vibrational physics more than anything. That particular aspect of the key or matching to their systems is simply not there, unless we each will it directly, as a data exchange.

    So all one's weridities (new word!) can hang out, and probably will in many cases, but not the depth of what made them be.

    Which is why I could step inside another and live the horror of their death with them, and calm their body so they don't receive such a negative imprint...but not have such an imprint that I become them. Just their immediate issue, which is more than enough, thank you very much. Or, one can ride/share in another in their moment of thrills, or highs.

    We retain our privacy and our individuality in a consciously psychically connected universe; the physics of matter, dimensions, and dimensional physics illustrates this.

    Quote Posted by Rocky_Shorz (here)
    living life as an open book leaves nothing hidden... who would be hurt?
    Yes, I would cede all privacy for such a thing, and Rocky gave the reason why. Here's the caveat: If, and only if, I, and the group that I was in telepathic, open communication with, was able to exist in the highest resonance of love, light, and service to others would this occur. By rote, there would be no division, only unity in thought, direction, service, and action. It cannot exist in 3rd Density, nor 4th. The group itself must be of the same higher resonance, in unison, where there is no ambiguity, no falsehoods, no verbosity, no sarcasm, and no ego. This precisely is the Social Memory Complex of the right-handed, positive path. This may sound like a bland plagiary of the Law Of One, because it is. I do not claim the Law of One is the infallible truth, but it is that which resonates highly with me. My foundation from which I speak is strongly affected by the concepts which I have internally crystallized from the Law Of One into my 3rd Density Avatar filter. And further, I believe that it is a 6th Density Social Memory Complex from which my current incarnation has emerged. Ergo the reason why I am striving for such a thing to be established here and now. A group of like-minded individuals can progress to this spiritual evolution out of the 3rd Density. Ultimately, though, I know my Higher Self resides and operates from within the One. Die Urquelle. That is the Source, as Krishna related to Arjuna.

    Edit: I didn't have the chance to read your post, Carmody, before I posted. I am still trying to internalize your statement. Vibrational physics.....still pondering that, physics not being my strong suit. I got issues balancing my own checkbook with addition and subtraction. Ha!

    ahhhhhhh - was wondering what's up with that. Never even crossed my mind to stealth around Avalon or anywhere in fact. Strange the concept. But if its an option, then certainly its ok to use it. My fear is not being seen or heard or known, etc. such is the baggage one carries within a savior complex. Thanks for the heads up though.

    ?

    I'm a bit busy tonight, but this question has been bugging me for ages.

    I would love to see everyone chip in with their opinions.



    Savior complex, a sign that some deep hurt has never been confronted and healed....
    Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs comes to mind...
    Martyrdom...if it happens, ask for strength, but don't go out of your way looking for it.

    being of service...absolutely...all of life is about service. But cannot be forced...must be blended with ones natural inclination.

    "The Scole Experiment chronicles the extraordinary results of a five-year investigation into life after death.
    At the beginning of 1993 four psychic researchers embarked on a series of experiments in the Norfolk village of Scole.
    The subsequent events were so astounding that senior members of the prestigious Society for Psychical Research asked to observe,
    test and record what took place"

    The fire sale, this unwinding of our origins and past, to disarm it's autonomous problematic bits, this may and generally does cause great reaction in the body's base systems, and to the point of forgetting what was going on. This is possible as this part of who we are, it is part of the channels of mind and body integration and operation.

    And when you touch it, to turn and face it....you threaten it's 'life', and it's 'job', which is to run the autonomous parts of the body, the subsystems. To protect itself, it engages in the mechanism of forgetting the connections to that hurt, it erases the conscious neural connections, but the base events and their coloration of the built self, the ego body, remains.

    This is what I was trying to convey

    When the reflection in the mirror no longer reveals my own woundedness or its 'job', I know I will be getting closer

    Thank you so so much Carmody!


    Was sent this, this morning, and as one comment states: touches on the untouchable.












    Suddenly, I am single mind extended across,
    An unknown geography.
    imprinted, as if by a river, on the moment,
    her mind held in unison by a large, great, tribe.
    Meandering in reverent concert among trees, feasting on leaves.
    One great eye reflecting blue from the turn inward,
    toward the hidden sky.
    I am drawn forward by the lattice, a web of inaudible sound,
    throwing and gliding on pathways we remember.
    I am,(I am), We are,(we are), who can distinguish us,
    a gathering of souls hulking and muddied, large enough.
    (If there is a purpose), to carry the accumulated joy of centuries,
    Walking within each other's particular knowing and delight.
    This is our grace, to be a note,
    in the exact core that animates creation.
    An ocean of mind, moving, forward and back, forward and back,
    outside of an emotion contained within it.
    This is particle and wave, how simple,
    the merest conversation between us, becoming the essential drone,
    into which we, gladly disappear, a common music,
    A singular heavy tread(?), ceaselessly carving a path,
    for the waters tumbling invisibly, beneath.
    I have always wanted to be with them, with you, so...
    .... be gentle with your anger. Sixto Rodriguez, Cape Town 20.02.2013

    J_O_VM,

    In your opinion, what is the difference between

    a) Saviour complex
    b) Acting a Martyr
    c) Being of service to others

    ?

    Since you asked (only from personal experience)...

    Savior “complex” –

    This develops when one has, for whatever reasons, deemed that they are, in fact, a “designated” savior. There are some likely necessary prerequisites like in my case being exposed to a widespread concept that such a one or more beings could exist and that some supernatural power source that does not have the general public’s best interest in mind can only be overcome by one or more saviors.

    To break is down simpler – that there is a supernatural bad guy force, there is the general innocent (key word innocent) public and then there is one or more beings who are sent by (or empowered by) a true, good guy force to “save” the innocents. The outer concepts of Christianity appear to be the current best example of something that supports this type of dynamic. Interestingly, I have found that mystical Christianity to be interestingly self-liberating and thus I have no issues with Christianity or any religion though I am not religious at all in any way.


    Acting a Martyr

    It is interesting that you said “acting” a martyr as opposed to “being” a martyr. It implies your view of martyrdom is already established. I share your view by the way as I do not see any benefits from martyrdom. Interestingly though I do see a “savior” as likely always ending up as some martyr. It is like the Japanese saying regarding the nail that sticks out the most gets hammered first. This both “savior” and “martyr” likely go hand in hand. A good savior usually (in fact, I can’t think of a case at the moment where not) ends up a martyr.


    Being of service to others

    This is most interesting as who would be the judge as to if what someone brought to others in their “service” to others was considered service in the first place? For example, let’s say there’s some planet where everything appears all screwed up. And on that planet appeared a being that had the general look and feel of being one of the planet’s inhabitants. Just some other human. And this one being wrote a 100 page book that contained all the answers required such that if the general population adopted the points of view shared as foundational to solution, their screwed up planet would transform, truly transform.

    Who amongst that general population would be an adequate judge that the information was truly and only transformative? Understand, the entire planet is screwed up. Could there be one or more people on this planet that is not in some way screwed up? And even if we accept that everyone on this planet is to some degree screwed up, would the general population of the planet agree to suspend their own beliefs for a moment such that they would appoint a few amongst them to analyze the gift brought by this outsider as to whether or not the material should be promoted widespread in hopes the general population would open their mind and apply the recommended techniques that might lead one to prove to themselves their former and current ways are nothing but insanity and that it is possible to become sane by adopting these new, recommended views?

    A long way to make a simple argument... that what would be deemed “service” to a sick planet would likely and only be what allows the illness to remain. Anything beyond that would be rejected and labeled as disservice. Of course, years later, when the general population has shifted to another view within the vast sea of insanity, they might look upon what was brought to them as wisdom. They would then elevate the messenger to savior status, put laws in place to safeguard the original message though interpret the message in various ways, even translate the message so those who speak other languages could be exposed to these messages (and interpretations), create the idea that the messenger may be “beyond” the common man and thus must be some special being which could only come from a god or set of gods, etc and a new religion is made. Lovely.

    Anyways – I fight my own savior complex which had been under development since I was just a child and have refrained from publishing my 100 page book though I have been writing it for at least 25 or so years. I even have the title – Bookie Metaphysics. The good news is, the older I get, the more bored with the idea I get and thus perhaps I will never complete, much less publish the damn thing. (And the crowd sighs with relief).

    In fact, if one is truly interested in studying the possibilities surrounding saviors, would be saviors and the rest of us, consider reading Richard Bach's cool little book, Illusions. One of the best reads I ever came across.

    My recommendation to any would be saviors is to hermitize. The odds of a longer life increase exponentially.

    The first tiny hint of light peaks over the hills here in San Jose. All that can be heard is the highway getting restless and my stomach growling from the high carb meal I foolishly ate late last night.

    Enjoy the Day - Chester

    I don't know. Ha! The only thing I can come up with is that if we all communicated through telepathy, and not verbal, nor written communication, it might possibly successfully fulfill each of the maxims: Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner.
    When I was about 8 or 9 through tears in my eyes from all the injustices I saw in the world (and at that age I didn't see all that many yet), I proclaimed to my mom that if only we could all be telepathic the world would be a far better place; no one could misunderstand one another and no one could lie. Every single issue on the planet solved.

    General question: would you give up the privacy of your mind to achieve this? To become, in operation as well as in source, a single being comprised of all individuals on earth? Fascinating concept, isn't it?

    Yes, I would cede all privacy for such a thing, and Rocky gave the reason why. Here's the caveat: If, and only if, I, and the group that I was in telepathic, open communication with, was able to exist in the highest resonance of love, light, and service to others would this occur. By rote, there would be no division, only unity in thought, direction, service, and action. It cannot exist in 3rd Density, nor 4th. The group itself must be of the same higher resonance, in unison, where there is no ambiguity, no falsehoods, no verbosity, no sarcasm, and no ego. This precisely is the Social Memory Complex of the right-handed, positive path. This may sound like a bland plagiary of the Law Of One, because it is. I do not claim the Law of One is the infallible truth, but it is that which resonates highly with me. My foundation from which I speak is strongly affected by the concepts which I have internally crystallized from the Law Of One into my 3rd Density Avatar filter. And further, I believe that it is a 6th Density Social Memory Complex from which my current incarnation has emerged. Ergo the reason why I am striving for such a thing to be established here and now. A group of like-minded individuals can progress to this spiritual evolution out of the 3rd Density. Ultimately, though, I know my Higher Self resides and operates from within the One. Die Urquelle. That is the Source, as Krishna related to Arjuna.

    Edit: I didn't have the chance to read your post, Carmody, before I posted. I am still trying to internalize your statement. Vibrational physics.....still pondering that, physics not being my strong suit. I got issues balancing my own checkbook with addition and subtraction. Ha!
    I wonder if sexual thoughts would be acceptable to others. Thoughts are thoughts that do not necessarily have to be acted upon. My concern is that 3rd parties would deem some thoughts as "evil" and soon we would have "the thought police" which in many ways we actually do have now.

    It is my view that one who is anchored in a 3D physical body should have no issue exploring the 7 popular energy centers, one being the 2nd chakra where sexual energy is deemed to reside. I am only speaking metaphorically here and using the chakra metaphor to make the point.

    Having said the above, I found for myself that fantasy (which is carrying through with the mental imagery)... in essence, to be invasive unless permission is given at some "higher level" of the target being (if that being is real and not made up in the fantasy). And then there's the risk of attachment which is a whole other potential exposure. Apologies I extended this post.

    But the idea here is to bring out this question. If we could "read each other's minds" while still existing primarily as a 3D physical being... could we handle what thoughts we might read? Could we learn to evolve such that at the thought level we consider permissions as we appear to require at the physical level? And can we avoid attachments of we agree to meet in other dimensions of our being?

    And the bottom line question, can this be done where we honor all facets of being a physical being? I believe we can. I am unsure if we will anytime soon.

    Very interesting. I have a few thoughts on sexuality as well, and the protocols accompanying it.

    The protocols in 3D are determined by the physical differences between men and women; where on the one hand one can be the invader the other, being passive, is invaded, or entered.

    So the protocols are a bit like those of house owner and hospitality. Males are guests, and women are house owners. (subject of homosexuality is left for another time)
    So it has to be invitation only. Signaling hospitality by leaving the front door open,
    and present a table full of flowers and food and drink can make a hungry traveler think he can help himself.

    If he then finds himself hit over the head with a frying pan just as he is sitting down
    the question arises as to who is in the wrong here. Men have it tough these days. Their homework is to interpret the signals, especially middle easterners who have moved to the west.

    In the spirit realm it's different as here anyone can be invaded, and anyone can have fantasies and become a predator. So it appears as if there are no house owners, and all are travelers. Not so, if one knows how that realm works and what possibilities of house construction it has to offer.
    As long as individuality exists, the same hospitality rules apply, but here it is regardless of gender.
    Individuality is either protected or it is open house for all. Depends on belief, in the end.

    All this talk that self is only an illusion grinds on me...to me is simply opinion, or religious preaching.
    In fact it makes me suspicious the behind it is a hidden threat and that there could be a predator.

    I'm an individualist of the highest order. That does not mean that I reject the concept of ultimate oneness.
    But in the lower dimensions there are schools which prepare us for the higher levels.
    ultimate oneness only comes into play when all rules regarding self and other have been learnt, understood, respected, and are acted upon, and until such an obedience to universal law has become totally habitual the door of heaven must remain closed.

    I have cleared myself. I have nothing to hide. All the things that used to bother me (that made me wince), bother me no more.

    Besides, there ARE boundaries in psychic connectivity that we naturally do not cross. Even in a full overlay, we get nothing but the general 'now', not the full details of one's origins. Our vibration is too different for that, but we can get a 'feed' off of "others" senses, as the mechanism is near identical.

    It's like borrowing someone's car, we can get the basics but not the in depth details, no x-ray capacity. if we did that, we'd be them ,and that's not the point. But really, it is a matter of vibrational physics more than anything. That particular aspect of the key or matching to their systems is simply not there, unless we each will it directly, as a data exchange.

    So all one's weridities (new word!) can hang out, and probably will in many cases, but not the depth of what made them be.

    Which is why I could step inside another and live the horror of their death with them, and calm their body so they don't receive such a negative imprint...but not have such an imprint that I become them. Just their immediate issue, which is more than enough, thank you very much. Or, one can ride/share in another in their moment of thrills, or highs.

    We retain our privacy and our individuality in a consciously psychically connected universe; the physics of matter, dimensions, and dimensional physics illustrates this.
    I am so in agreement with you on this....that there are boundaries that we do not cross.

    Tho' I am not finished clearing myself, I feel I have nothing to hide...so done with shame and guilt and self-judgment.

    Honest and open communication, well, hells bells...telepathy...bring it on! I'm so ready.

    I still believe we all psychically "sense" each other by the way our own individual energies "reach out" to one another naturally....even online. Suppose someone else was to post under, say Carmody's nic writing in his style...wouldn't you feel the different energy exuded from within the words?


    Yesterday I got a call from my dear friend, Cathy...feeling I needed energy work done, she asked if I wanted to come over last night for Reiki and chakra cleansing. I just love being connected on such a level that she could sense my need and offer help...I quickly accepted.

    It was wonderful! I feel all sparkly and shiny! I can "see" so much better now...third eye and crown chakra needing the most work and opening wide...blockages cleared and balance restored.

    Just what I needed to face the potentially stress-inducing, busy week ahead. Timing is everything.

    Will be popping in and out of the Village as I am able...

    Love you all.

    I agree fully with this post. Yes, its all illusion... in the end. But the fact is, I (perhaps us all) approach this end entirely from the other end. I also have the hope I never reach the end. What does that say? I am always one or more steps away from full blown psychopathy (as long as I exist within some bodily form). Immense responsibility comes from knowing this. The responsibility where in each and every situation - how one thinks, speaks and acts that exemplifying this knowing... something I work on... hopefully an eternal process.

    In short form - being free is one thing. Imposing my freedom is another.

    Regarding my first level of being - a 3D male, I found it completely true your analogy, ulli, the invader and the invaded, the active and the passive.

    I was once with a woman (in the summer of 1989). We were all but into the final stages of a sexual act. All but the penetration. We had been together well over two hours and it was now time for the finale. She suddenly told me to stop. I did. I was slightly exasperated but only for a moment. Something within me knew that there was something here more important than anything else I could imagine. And that was not only having her permission, but having it continuously. I am certain I am not the common male but I can honestly state that that moment, I knew I had become a true man. A true example of a man I would hope my sons would be as well... and I have three.

    It is why I adopted long ago the personal requirement of obtaining and maintaining permission to go sexual with any woman whether it be physically or within my own mental realm. It is my opinion that if all men adopted this one personal requirement, the entire world would instantly transform.

    Love to All and have a Great Day - Chester

    Ohhh I might add something I learned is considered an absolute truth by "true dragons" - a queen can be a queen alone, but a king cannot be a king without his queen.

    I also was told by my wife Cristina that a marriage is this - "The man is the head and the woman is the spine." I found great wisdom in what she shared with me.

    Now, I hope I did not get preachy here - my post is simply meant as a sharing of my experience and yes, an opinion or two thrown in.

    Thoughts are private domain. Most people I meet are not even aware that this domain is their own little kingdom over which they have absolute territorial rights.
    Establishing a personal philosophy would be a good start, but how to do that when there are billboards demanding that we all accept philosophies of others, even those which have proved again and again to lead nowhere.

    Hi guys. Would love some reiki myself if somebody wouldn't mind. I booked a days holiday off work as I have lots to do but have woken up with a monstrous headache which I can't shift. Too shaky to reiki myself and am always receptive to outside help. Thanks in advance.

    I don't necessarily absorb what I read, see, hear, etc. anymore. I get my answers from within and sometimes the within is transmitted to me through others and through the outer. I just accept that I am responsible for what I buy into. I still screw up all the time. I call it being perfect, perfectly imperfect. I make mistakes perfectly. It's just life when experienced through form. - justone
