Your use of the term ripple strikes me because I imagined our change in consciousness as the water temperature in a lake or an ocean. If we individually represent a quantity of water in an ocean and we increase or decrease our temperature by meditation we affect the overall temperature of the...

I think that the lines form Proverbs and Wisdom of Solomon allude to the eternal soul within us. Our souls have been with God and a part of God always. We(our souls) like God, have no beginning and no end. It also indicates a belief in reincarnation in the Jewish culture in those days.

A couple of interesting notes on circumcision. Did anybody know that up until the 17 or 18th century after a circumcision was performed the Jewish Dr?( i don't know the proper name) he would suck the blood off of the penis to cleanse it? Wow, when I read that, that blew me away. That is...

I too am a Capricarn. I just found out last year that my mom did a birth chart for me when I was 6. I read it and it gave me goosebumps, it was eerily accurate. One thing I do not identify with is the inclination towards business, to which Capricorns are frequently attributed. I'm in the health...

I have stumbled across some interesting arguements regarding reincarnation in the Bible. These are pointed out by Edgar Cayce; Proverbs 8 22-31- The Lord created me first of all, the first of his works, long ago. I was made in the very beginning, at the first, before the world began. I was...

Adversity does not build character, it reveals it.

Taijasi, I have seen those images that you posted in meditation and prayer. Particularly the angels over australia and the planetary matrix. I didn't see Australia but I saw angelic type figures in space over the earth. What is the history behind these prints?

I'm throwing this out there for feedback, particularly from Taijasi (because you seem to be very knowledgable in this subject) and of course to anyone else out there interested. I am reading some of the transcripts and readings of Edgar Cayce. For those not familiar with him, he was a man that...

Bandit, I don't think those concepts come from God, IMO, they come from man.

I think what we are witnessing is an evolution in faith. Every belief and every concept pertaining to God over time and now is valid. We are merging in this day and age, there will be an awakening and conglomeration of faiths and beliefs that will be stronger and more inclusive than ever before...

I think that we are dual in nature, we have an eternal spirit within us and it resides in our physical bodies. The physical knows only limitation and the spirit knows only unlimitedness. Our physical nature will clash with our spiritual nature at times by constantly trying to define, evaluate...

Just thought I'd share this thought with you; Unlimited spirit is within the nature of your being. It came with you into your body, and you have access to it whenever you choose to open it. Coming into this lifetime was a process of adjusting your awareness from the realm of spirit to the...

I read a book by Don Miguel Ruiz that I liked alot. He asserts that we can break karma by forgiveness. Karma is perpetuated by our belief in it. If we forgive ourselves now and for any past life experiences we can break the Karma once and for al;l. Forgiveness cleans and heals our emotional wounds.

Taijasi, which book are you currently reading?

What if the past life memories are actually others lives from the past that we tap into. This could be possible considering that we come from the same source and our spirits and souls are of the same ilk. In spirit form maybe we are one and not so individualized. It just seems that all of the...

Dondi, I respect your hesitation to read anything Gonstic. The reason I recommend this book is because Elaine Pagels does a great job of showing the different sects of Christianity in the first and second centuries. It isn't a book advocating or endorsing their beliefs. Alot of contemporary...

Revelation 3:12 just smacked me between the eyes. If after one overcomes, he shall be sent out no more is true then this resonates with a belief in reincarnation. I am not an expert in reincarnation but i do know that one is believed to come back until all lessons are learned that need to be...

In response to the higher power bit. Yes, it is highly encouraged that one would look to something else for help. This is due in part to the fact that alchoholics are so self cenetered. There is an on going battle with one's pride, will and ego that they may in fact win over alcohol on their...

Sorry I am late to this thread. I didn't know it was started off of one of my comments until today. I'm flattered. Awe shucks. I didn't read all posts yet because I wanted t0 reply to the comment that the Bible doesnt' speak of reincarnation. There is reference to reincarnation in the NT, Let's...

Hey Dondi, It's hard to say how I consider myself nowadays. I carried with me some aspects of Christianity that fit for me, namely forgiveness. At times when I pray I still ask Jesus for help. I don't know if this is old habit or what but I'm not ahamed of it nor do I question it too much...
