Like an inspirational “word?” Perhaps inspiration as a resource is why Jewish founders chose the word word!?

Something I don’t know about? It’s not about to be terminated is it? That would make me sad, even though my visits here are sporadic. But I seldom only dip into the waters. I like to dive deep when I do visit. A good way to process thoughts and feelings about the spiritual/connective aspects of...

Thomas, thanks for playing in my sandbox with me. While I always bite off way more than I can chew, the above remark is one that I feel I can at least partially digest. I have used terms like Mind Itself to describe the apparent boundless character of mind (as opposed to its mere projections...

I have seen evidence in my dream content that the spirit or soul experiences our body and physical existence as uncomfortably limiting, very often depicted as being in prison. The dream content of passing through a checkpoint (keys or special privileges often required) seems to correlate with...

Remember our Trinity pondering a few months ago? My recent fascination with energy as an object of contemplation led me to the thought that electricity’s “volt” (pressure, raw power) may match The Father. It’s “amps” (rate of flow), the Holy Ghost. And Watts would be akin to spiritual capacity...

Aupmanyav: “Subtle Energy introduces woo.” Suppose overall reality is different at different depths. Quantum science witnesses strange interactions deep inside physical reality. The book Undivided Universe by David Bohm and Basil Hiley called the deeper subatomic substrate “implicate order.”...

Trying to gain favor? Yes, trying can be a block to mindfulness and wholeness. But what if attention to subtle energy is a bridge between material existence and a deeper, different, level/dimension of overall reality? It could be used without being depended on, worshipped. As a gateway to the...

What is woo?

Be open to the possibility his contact from the other side/dimension. Perhaps in dreams or synchronistic signs or in deep feelings or guidance/ nudges. A close friend of mine appeared to make contact with me after death. Even if it is just our imagination, it is nonetheless a meaningful way to...

And what an interesting dream it is!

So happy to see that friends can disagree and still be friends. The masculine aggressive side of me always wants to be correct and win the argument. I have grown tired of that side of me, but to run away from it would not ever sufficiently hide it. It’s there for a good reason (and even if the...

Thomas, To me, your response here seems to concede philosophical Idealism (Mind is ultimate reality) because non-actual universes would have to be in some sort of context or container, and Mind is the best candidate for this. God hasn’t acted on, manifested, all of God’s ideas. Some, perhaps a...

I love it when we take the Carl Sagan view that both science and religion partake of an evolution of thinking/understanding that is more alike than different.

Yes, intuition or “God” has been frequently misused. But that is from improper use—not the concept of an Ultimate Reality that we can relate to as though a human. Thanks for assuming that I would call upon “God” for good things, not war, etc.

Yes, the emphasis should be “Does it work?” Did I internalize a bit of William James’ pragmatism? Maybe

Having had a career in psychology, I cannot seem to sweat the difference between a god function and a god as an object or being. So, the issue at hand here on this thread seems to me more a matter of semantics than anything. Even if “God” is nothing but an unknown space from which we intuit new...

Is there a substrate within reality that operates differently than on the surface? And do you think humans have the means to utilize it?

Well, at least the Called One (“God”) exits (stands out) for those of us who call upon it and reap benefits from it. Whether it/He/She is a figment of our imagination (which, nonetheless, is an expression of a deeper or different part of the mind than we consciously identify with) or a Being is...

I once had a very spiritual nighttime dream in which I carried around my own decapitated head! Something akin to my individual spirit was more “me” than my normal thinking mind/head. But I consistently view that “spirit” as being a DEEPER part of “mind,” as opposed to being other than mind. Even...
