Where Am I? By making a simple observation about your location within the dream, you can dramatically awaken to a new perception of what it means to be present. When asked "where are you located within your body at this moment?", most people, if given a little time to consider the question, and...

the scary thing about me is that i grow hair everywhere but on top of my head...a bald ape

i think it has a lot to do with vibration. i say this because as brian points out, you don't have to be in the same physical location to be able to "read" someone. i know that everyone leaves a "signature" on everything they touch or create, so that often if i am reading a post on a forum i will...

nah, i was just witnessing the lower wrungs for an hour. sometimes things are just what they are, too. dcv-

The Narcissists of Consumption I am guessing he was about 18 years old, stood over six feet tall and weighed four hundred plus pounds. He managed to somehow find the prerequisite baggy clothes of his generation, even for a boy of his immense size. He had a large piercing in one ear, and several...

zenda, i can remember in the beginning going shopping and having a dozen mood changes. it was finding that invisible switch - seemed to be about focusing on an individual rather than being open to anyone that eventually helped me tune it out. i am renowned for not being able to remain serious...

Don't Seek Vicariously If it has not occured to you as of yet, let me say that spirituality in today's Western climate is a quagmire of attachments. Concepts & labels are tossed about unconsciously by many in the spiritual community, myself included at one time, and have lost any semblance to...

Discernment I feel blessed to be born of this time and in this place, for at what other time has the horizons of communication been so expanded, and in what other place is there quite such a melting pot of ideas and faiths and cultural backgrounds? In another time I may have been expected to...

Reading minds. Now there is something that sounds absolutely horrific to me. More like a curse than a blessing. zenda, i know that was likely posted a bit tongue in cheek - although if not i can agree that it sounds scary. when i awoke i became much more aware of what other people were...

abogado, let me likewise welcome you to the mix, and add my appreciation of your active participation in what i feel is the best forum of its kind on the internet. brian and company not only deserve a lot of credit for tirelessly keeping this place communal, but likewise their work attracts...

although not a physical change per se, my interactions with vajradhara on another thread got me thinking about a major change in mySelf since my awakening, which i wanted to see if anyone else has experienced. four years ago when i "woke up" the chatterbox ended. i have not had a chatterbox mind...

vajradhara, i think i have been alluding to basically the same experiences and states of being that you have, but have yet again gotten sidetracked by words and their assorted meanings for each individual. i went out and contemplated this morning, and that which guides me walked me through some...

if no concept can be applied to the experience... how can it be either inexperienced or experienced... it simply is.. no amount of mental posturing will change it in any manner. how would you know if you experienced it or not if no concept can be applied? how can anyone label it "empty of...

The Active & Passive Principles & The Self My perceptions and beliefs are based upon my contemplations (average 5-8 hours a day), where I become a cell of the organism-mind that I am a part of, rather than an organism of cells that my body and my history are a part of. I have been guided...
