First a general question : From reading your posts you appear to have a very 'human centric' view of the universe, do you believe that Humans are somehow special / 'chosen' when compared to other animals?
On this planet? At this current point in Space/Time? From my own current limited Human Perspective? - Yes, I would say Humans are important.
However, when taking a perspective that encompasses ALL, then no - Humans are not 'special', they are a part of the whole, just as Animals are.
In Truth I do not recognize any kind of 'hierarchy' of importance. Human Beings are just the focus of what I am dealing with right now.
Animals are greatly misunderstood. Many are healers or guides for mankind, and many have qualities that Human Beings don't even suspect yet.
A vast amount of species on this planet have ties with extraterrestrial life elsewhere in this galaxy.
Very often I find I have more honest and 'enlightened' conversation with various animals than I do with Human Beings.
Does this also apply to other animals when they dream?
Based purely on my observations, and on some memories of lives I've lived on this planet not as a Human Being I would have to say yes, dreaming is largely a 4th dimensional experience.
In the 'normal' world, what do you think sound is?
I wish I knew more physics, but this is my current take on it:
Sound is vibration - a wave of information.
Light is vibration - a wave of information
Consciousness is the ocean.
Therefore sound and light are expressions of consciousness, though not necessarily consciousness itself.
Magnetic fields exist, they can be measured and represented in visually, the trouble I have with the idea of Auras is that there is no reason why an objects magnetic field should be assigned / viewed as a specific colour & that this colour is then used to describe behavioural characteristics / personality traits.
Well, as I understand it, what we call colors are simply different vibrational wavebands of light, that our physical eyes+brain translate into meaningful information that we can process.
I could be proven wrong, but I don't believe it is possible for the human eye to register the higher vibrational frequencies that make up 'auras'. In order to percieve them, you have to shift your awareness from your physical perceptions to your etheric perceptions. I.e. the more time you spend Astral Projecting and Lucid dreaming, the more likely it is you will begin to 'consciously' operate in the etheric at the same time as you operate in the physical.
Have you not felt 'heavy' when you are sad or depressed, or 'light' when you are ecstatic and filled with joy?
That is because negative emotions are a much lower frequency than positive emotions. And just like our physical eyes register different vibrations of light as different colors, so do our etheric perceptions register these vibrational fields as different 'colors'.
I must just tell you, that there is a much greater range of perceptible 'color' than our eyes can see or we have the language to describe, and that when 'psychics' tell you your aura is this or that color, they are merely giving an 'approximation' that can be related to.
Can you still perform magic spells? If you can, then what are you doing to use these powers for the good of humanity?
I wouldn't call it 'magic' at this current stage of my awareness.
I was never a Wiccan or anything like that, and do appreciate that there are 'rituals' or 'spells'... but from my perspective, so much of this is 'props' to help attain certain states of awareness. My thoughts on the matter, are that if you need props, then you don't fully understands what you are doing... and then, should you really be doing it?
... I'm not even going to go into nature spirits, summoned entities, elementals and the like right now...
I try to bring 'consciousness' into everything I do... that is the most powerful 'magic' I know. It raises the frequency of any thought, emotion, or action you participate in, and it affects everything and everyone you come into contact with.
I endeavor to shine the light of consciousness within myself, and so avoid adding to the ills of the world through ignorance, insensitivity, and ego self-interest.
Practically, I mean focused non-judgmental presence.
I'm not going to talk about the 'spiritual' war I've been fighting for over a decade - whether that has helped humanity or not is yet to be seen.
I'm just so very glad that part of my life is done with...
My mission on Earth now is to increase human awareness through expressions of Love and Light. Now that the restaurant is closed, I'm in the process of opening my own shop where I will be creating hand-painted clothing for children of all ages in the full spectrum of Rainbow Colors.
I have had close contact and personal experiences of a 'Divine Plan' at work, and as such, I wouldn't presume to interfere... so I'm now pretty against doing things like changing the weather or manipulating people into behaving certain ways.
I know I am part of the Divine Plan (as are we All), and as such all I need do is be Consciously Present.
Oh, and I will also share what I have learned with anyone who wants to know
Quite frankly I find it hard to understand how anyone in this current age can still claim that auras do not exist. Absolutely everything generates a magnetic field.
Magnetic fields exist, they can be measured and represented in visually, the trouble I have with the idea of Auras is that there is no reason why an objects magnetic field should be assigned / viewed as a specific colour & that this colour is then used to describe behavioural characteristics / personality traits.
Exactly. No one has come up with a repeatable experiment to link magnetic fields to the properties auras are supposed to signify. There cannot be any leaps of logic from experimentational evidence to anecdotal assertions in science, even if a concept in a narrative or philosophy sounds kinda like a property of the universe as discovered using science. Everything has to be measurable without human intervention or manipulation and work the same way every single time no matter who is doing the experiment.
This, of course, is a big issue for anyone claiming to possess ESP or anything alike, since no one else can see what you do as you're special. I see two ways of beginning to convince others of what you see (should you wish to do so):
- Rigorous double blind testing where you using your extra information about your surroundings and the workings of the universe perform exceptionally well in a situation where a control group behaves randomly.
- Using your extra information, you sense/see/detect something that could be measured but no one else knows it's there. You devise an experiment to be performed by others at several locations you know to produce specific results the current science cannot explain.
The basic issue of others believing you is that as long as they cannot verify what you're telling, there's no way for them of telling your claims apart from those of a fraudster. It doesn't matter if they believe you believe what you're saying (so they don't think you're intentionally lying) as long as all they get is words. They need evidence beyond that which may be explained by coincidence or suitable interpretations of vague claims (both common issues in evidence presented about supernatural phenomena, perception or powers). They need something they can research without needing a specific person acting as their sensor because people can deceive and be deceived.
I'm not accusing you of anything or trying to undermine your perception of reality. I'm trying to convey why others, myself included, find it hard to believe what you believe. Inform me if you do not wish to engage in this line of conversation and keep the thread about philosophy and metaphysics.
I fully understand how what I claim is hard to believe... and that is exactly why I'm just not ready to go further in my story about how I came to my current state of awareness at this time... because, if the personal experiences of my life up to that point seemed unbelievable... then what happened next... well, even I couldn't believe it. I still don't want to believe it.
As stated in my first post, I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone. I am simply sharing my perspectives / experiences in as honest and truthful a way as I am able to.
I would very much like people to go out and do their own research. I actually have no intention of changing anyone's mind, I *want* you to find the Truth out for yourselves, in whatever form that Truth will take for you.
I don't see myself as any more or less special than the rest of you. Your perspectives are just as valid as mine.
The perception of many animals is vastly superior to that of normal humans of today,
there has to be scientific research, does anyone know of some that would fit here?
I've watched plenty of nature documentaries on Animal perception and I find it fascinating! I wouldn't go so far as to say 'superior'... as that's a judgement call and perception is relative.
Certainly animal senses have been proven to detect frequencies of light / sound beyond the range of what Humans are able to, as well as having senses Humans don't even appear to possess.
Never mind mindbogglingly sensitive taste and smell organs.
Alright, the word 'superior' does seem to apply doesn't it?
From personal experience:
Often I've perceived etheric forms moving around my room or in the garden, and guess what? My cat could see them perfectly, because she tracked them with her eyes... if they got too close to her, she would scoot out of the room.
Knowing my cat was seeing what I was seeing was one indication I wasn't going crazy. Thank you Sootica! ^_^
