seeking_brilliance

Is the word avatar a good guess at what this human manifestation is? Are all people on earth, maybe even earth itself, an avatar(s)? Are certain avatars born across time to advance the evolution of our species? Are we waiting for a particular avatar to be born? Or should it be interpreted, as a coming of higher conciousness and not a bodily manifestation? What would the second coming of christ be interpreted as? A major shift in consciousness? A global shift? And yes in talking about within the dream/game /whatever. av.a.tar 1. HINDUISM a manifestation of a deity or released soul in bodily form on earth; an incarnate divine teacher. an incarnation, embodiment, or manifestation of a person or idea. "he chose John Stuart Mill as the avatar of the liberal view" 2. an icon or figure representing a particular person in video games, Internet forums, etc.

Perhaps all of us avatars manifested into existence without sin (sex)... Maybe why we can't remember being born? Lol jk... Whether or not a human was born, well, whatever.... I was not born. I observed the birth of this human and forgot that I was not it. Thus the avatar of seeking _brilliance was born.

It's me. I'm the plus and the negative. The appearing and what not appears. And at the same time I am neither. The ultimate cancelation. I cannot find a container to put myself in. I can not name myself...

I had thought at one time that the colors corresponded to my aura

Yes he does but so do people on here lol. He said many times, let them who have ears, let them hear. He is saying those who understand will know what I'm taking about.

Yeah made sense to me...

Yeah sorry I tend to do that lol

What I found in the gospel of Thomas reads a bit differently... Jesus says: (1) “I am the light that is over all. I am the All. The All came forth out of me. And to me the All has come.” (2) “Split a piece of wood — I am there. (3) Lift the stone, and you will find me there.”

I don't know, I must have forgotten...

Forgetting brought about all this? Like everything spawned from the "creation" of forgetting what's actual?

Technically I was raised to believe that the God who spoke to Moses was in fact the premanifest son of God (Jesus) so it counts!

Gospel of Thomas, chapter 2, verses 1-4 Jesus says: (1) “The one who seeks should not cease seeking until he finds. (2) And when he finds, he will be dismayed. (3) And when he is dismayed, he will be astonished. (4) And he will be king over the All.” Gospel of Thomas Chapter 4, versus 1-3 Jesus says: (1) “The person old in his days will not hesitate to ask a child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live. (2) For many who are first will become last, (3) and they will become a single one.” *not sure about verse one, but 2 and three seem to be talking about reincarnation possibly Gospel of Thomas Chapter 5 versus 1-2 Jesus says: (1) “Come to know what is in front of you, and that which is hidden from you will become clear to you. (2) For there is nothing hidden that will not become manifest.” *talking about shadow work? Also reminds me of Leo's exercise of looking at your hands Gospel of Thomas Chapter 8 verses 1-4 (1) And he says: “The human being is like a sensible fisherman who cast his net into the sea and drew it up from the sea filled with little fish. (2) Among them the sensible fisherman found a large, fine fish. (3) He threw all the little fish back into the sea, (and) he chose the large fish effortlessly. (4) Whoever has ears to hear should hear.” *actually looking for an interpretation on this one. Any time he says 'whoever has ears...' it is an intentionally coded parable. Gospel of Thomas Chapter 10 Jesus says: “I have cast fire upon the world, and see, I am guarding it until it blazes.” *the stories of Jesus literally changed and shaped the world. He knew exactly what he was doing... Exodus 33:20 And He said, “Thou canst not see My face, for there shall no man see Me and live.” *it counts because technically I was raised to believe that the God who spoke to Moses was in fact the premanifest son of God (Jesus). Seems to be talking about ego death? To remember that nothing has ever lived? Somewhere in Exodus probably.... "Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” The Gospel of Mary Magdalene 22) The Savior said, All nature, all formations, all creatures exist in and with one another, and they will be resolved again into their own roots. 23) For the nature of matter is resolved into the roots of its own nature alone. 30) Matter gave birth to a passion that has no equal, which proceeded from something contrary to nature. Then there arises a disturbance in its whole body. 31) That is why I said to you, Be of good courage, and if you are discouraged be encouraged in the presence of the different forms of nature. Matt.22 Verses 34 to 40 [36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law? [37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. [38] This is the first and great commandment. [39] And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. * I like this one. A nondual type quote hidden in plain sight all this time. I still would like to know more about the mind/body /soul connection, or is this only a Christian anology for something? John 14:10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. * I was raised to believe that Jesus and the father and the holy spirit were one God, but three different manifestations of it. Jesus sometimes appears to be saying that we are all one God. Gospel of Thomas... Somewhere in there... (1) “I am the light that is over all. I am the All. The All came forth out of me. And to me the All has come.” (2) “Split a piece of wood — I am there. (3) Lift the stone, and you will find me there.” Gospel of Thomas Chapter 17 Jesus says: “I will give you what no eye has seen, and what no ear has heard, and what no hand has touched, and what has not occurred to the human mind.” Gospel of Thomas Chapter 18 (1) The disciples said to Jesus: “Tell us how our end will be.” (2) Jesus said: “Have you already discovered the beginning that you are now asking about the end? For where the beginning is, there the end will be too. (3) Blessed is he who will stand at the beginning. And he will know the end, and he will not taste death.” James 1:19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. *I like this because it's overall great advice Luke 6:37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven Mark 8:34-35 Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel, you will save it”. *this is certainly an allegory for something... John 14:27 I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. Somewhere in the new testament.... Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” 57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Then they took up stones to throw at Him; Matthew 6:24 No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. ~The Book of Thomas The Contender He who has known himself has…already achieved knowledge about the depth of all. ~Gospel of Thomas That which you have will save you if you bring it forth from yourselves. ~The Dialogue of the Savior Matthew: “Lord, when I speak…who listens? The Lord said: “It is the one who speaks who also listens, and it is the one who can see who also reveals.” *when two become one? Gospel of Thomas Chapter 50 Jesus says: (1) “If they say to you: ‘Where do you come from?’ (then) say to them: ‘We have come from the light, the place where the light has come into being by itself, has established [itself] and has appeared in their image.’ (2) If they say to you: ‘Is it you?’ (then) say: ‘We are his children, and we are the elect of the living Father.’ (3) If they ask you: ‘What is the sign of your Father among you?’ (then) say to them: ‘It is movement and repose.’”

Not necessarily unless you are having a prophetic dream... They are identical in experience, not content

What's the difference between producing dmt in your human body and sourcing dmt from your plant body?

@LastThursday any kind of dream work would prove that wrong. The conscious mind has very little to do with what happens in dreams... well maybe something else builds dreams who knows

This whole global awakening thing would be much more effective if we are teaching our children what we have found. I don't have any children, but the conversation of adopting has been on the back burner, and it gets me thinking of how I would like to raise a child. So what would you do? Start with meditation and yoga? Also I think it's important to teach the child to not be so damn traumatized by everything. This will save them years of therapy and less to unravel when it's time to meet God. I also think dream work would be very important for self therapy. What are some things you might hold back? What should the child discover for themselves? Which teachings are too advanced for them until they have a more mature mind? Thanks for any suggestions!

I don't get it ?‍♂️

Hi, you might have to decode this one a bit for me

@Shaun Hi it is in Leo's book list. Very good one. The video above is not going to be any kind of full course.

@Mikael89 cake tastes amazing in my dreams, completely made of dream fluff

So? Does it make it any less special if true? What if you were a materialist and you found out that your brain has this amazing ability to reformat your nervous system? You would ignore it because it's too woo-woo?

@Shaun I think you would be very successful at kriya since you are already sensitive to the energy. Just make sure you are doing lots of shadow work so there is less tension in the body because you don't want to overload your circuits. Do you have the guide book? Just start slow

This is what I was getting at, but the question is, do you teach them all that from the beginning? Does it just become a dogma, because the child doesn't have any other way of living to compare it to? What would a person be like who was never scarred by suffering? Would they have empathy?

Yes I planned on mentioning that, but didn't want to sound like rambling. Was mainly focusing on the illusion of a body and feeling emotions in various parts of it opposed to how we feel thoughts happening in the brain. That they feel separate but there is no boundary. I can see how my post was confusing, the questions I asked were mostly rhetorical, but that can be too misleading and now I have to waste a post explaining the intent lol. Oh well I write silly sometimes, it happens

@dinone yeah, not sure what level of non-inteference he suggests.... Like no discipline or anything? Yes, any morals or conduct we may want to bestow upon our children is a bunch of cultural programming and seems counter-productive, but in an orange to blue (maybe a little green) world, the programming is a necessary evil, to ensure survival, to propel the evolution of the human species. Although I guess you could say that when he says to let things happen naturally, perhaps he just means trust your own programming and parent your child exactly as you do. It is all working out perfectly.
