Without thoughts, ideas, imagination and beliefs there is no Universe and there is No God Consciousness. The Void means absolute Nothingness, that includes No God Consciousness as a creator creating the Everything, the All-That-Is. Is that what your really want? Is that what you really want to strive for? Is that what you want to focus your attention on for the rest of eternity? I have been given the Gift of thoughts, ideas, imaginations, beliefs, feelings and emotions, and I would rather focus my consciousness on Beingness, and Being in the moment on this wonderful creation called "life". There is no "Life" in the Void of Nothingness, just potentials, which requires, thoughts, ideas, imaginations etc., to give birth to those potentials. That is what consciouness becomes and is.

Any thoughts where Bill is in SD? What is the Corona/ Covid-19 Virus Really Teaching us? I’m a strong believer that there is a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens, whether that is what we perceive as being good or being bad. As I meditate upon this, I want to share with you what I feel the Corona/ Covid-19 virus is really doing to us: It is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are. This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should to. If you don’t believe me,just ask Tom Hanks. It is reminding us that we are all connected and something that affects one person has an effect on another. It is reminding us that the false borders that we have put up have little value as this virus does not need a passport. It is reminding us, by oppressing us for a short time, of those in this world whose whole life is spent in oppression. It is reminding us of how precious our health is and how we have moved to neglect it through eating nutrient poor manufactured food and drinking water that is contaminated with chemicalsupon chemicals. If we don’t look after our health, we will, of course, get sick. It is reminding us of the shortness of life and of what is most important for us to do, which is to help each other, especially those who are old or sick. Our purpose is not to buy toilet roll. It is reminding us of how materialistic our society has become and how, when in times of difficulty, we remember that it’s the essentials that we need (food, water, medicine) as opposed to the luxuries that we sometimes unnecessarily give value to. It is reminding us of how important our family and home life is and how much we have neglected this. It is forcing us back into our houses so we can rebuild them into our home and to strengthen our family unit. It is reminding us that our true work is not our job, that is what we do, not what we were created to do. Our true work is to look after each other, to protect each other and to be of benefit to one another. It is reminding us to keep our egos in check. It is reminding us that no matter how great we think we are or how great others think we are,a virus can bring our world to a standstill. It is reminding us that the power of freewill is in our hands. We can choose to cooperate and help each other, to share, to give, to help and to support each other or we can choose to be selfish, to hoard, to look after only our self. Indeed, it is difficulties that bring out our true colors. It is reminding us that we can be patient, or we can panic. We can either understand that this type of situation has happened many times before in history and will pass, or we can panic and see it as the end of the world and, consequently, cause ourselves more harm than good. It is reminding us that this can either be an end or a new beginning. This can be a time of reflection and understanding, where we learn from our mistakes, or it can be the start of a cycle which will continue until we finally learn the lesson we are meant to. It is reminding us that this Earth is sick. It is reminding us that we need to look at the rate of deforestation just as urgently as we look at the speed at which toilet rolls are disappearing off of shelves. We are sick because our home is sick. It is reminding us that after every difficulty, there is always ease. Life is cyclical, and this is just a phase in this great cycle. We do not need to panic; this too shall pass. Whereas many see the Corona/ Covid-19 virus as a great disaster, I prefer to see it as a great corrector. It is sent to remind us of the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten and it is up to us if we will learn them or not. Bill Gates Some good thoughts, ideas and beliefs to contemplate over!

Unbelievable that someone would fake being someone else! Life never fails to amaze me.

I will have to agree with Leo on this one. Let me first say that using words to describe consciousness is very limiting and there are no words in the English language that can literally point to the full depth of consciousness and awareness. For those that are interested I will share my experiences and the differences and depths of awareness from Meditation to psychedelics. I did Vipassana meditation and I did break thru the veil of physical bound Mind Consciousness to an inner within consciousness beyond my physical self. I find it much harder and more time consuming to reach those states of consciousness. I also found the consciousness experienced was more directed towards beingness in the Earth conscious dream state, for lack of better words. That’s not to say meditation can only take you so far. I believe anything is possible, and no modality to reach awareness and consciousness is better than the other. Having said that, I am lazy and decided to do Ayahuasca (DMT), which took me much farther and faster than Meditation did. I cannot speak for Leo and his experiences, but I have experienced “different” states, textures, sensations, for lack of better words, depths of awareness. The deepest I went with Ayahuasca was when “I” (Don’t get caught up in the word or letter “I”) experienced the sensation, texture and depth of an infinite field of conscious wave like energy. Again, I am using physical language to describe something beyond the physical, so this is the best “I” can translate from the experience. Also keep in mind when someone shares an experience, they are doing it from a field of thoughts, ideas, Beliefs, feelings and emotions that comprises and encompass their Physical Mind Consciousness (Ego). Anyways, making a short story long, “I” was the consciousness and awareness of the infinite energy field, which then noticed a single “thought” appear, then more thoughts appeared until all of the infinite field of energy became nothing but thoughts. These thoughts started to become groups of thoughts, and before I knew it I was in a vast field of emptiness with tiny specks of light everywhere. I was attracted to one of the specks of light (for lack of better words) and focused and narrowed in and onto it. The speck of light started to expand quickly and I was suddenly aware that I was experiencing our universe as an infinite group of thoughts in the field of energy that I was aware of earlier. I continued to observe our Universe expand from planets to infinite galaxies, getting the occasional glimpse of other planets and civilizations other than our own. Slowly my awareness started to focus and narrow onto one planet, which I then realized was our planet. I noticed dozens of Earth realities in different time periods from the future present and past all happening together at one moment. Slowly my awareness focused on our Earth reality and gradually I observed my physical beingness materialize from consciousness, from infinite conscious atoms and molecules forming my cells to organs to “Me”. The "ME" was as a group of thoughts and waves of energy. I was not solid yet and it had the texture and sensations of being in a dream. Eventually I became aware of my surrounds and the circle of humans and the Shamans that were participating and conducting the Ayahuasca ceremony. it seemed to be a dream state. Everything was shimmering, there was no solidity. I remained in this dream state for about an hour or so enjoying the interlaces of collective consciousness we were all weaving together to create this micro experience. After a while the effects of Ayahuasca began to recede and I returned to my physical body in the material world. What I am trying to share with you from this one DMT experience, is that it is my belief that there are different textures, sensations depths of awareness. In this particular experience I went through consciousness and awareness from the macro to the micro. And “NO” I did not have full awareness and consciousness of every finite thought, idea, dream state that exists in all of God Consciousness. I just got a minuscule taste of the different sensations, textures, depths of awareness. IMO, It’s to huge, complex, vast for the Human Mind Consciousness to contain "All-That-Is", in all humbleness. I hope this helps in the discussion! A Student sharing thoughts, ideas and beliefs.

Good question! I did several 10-day retreats doing Vipassana meditation, also experimented with mindfulness meditations and using mantras. What I liked about Vipassana meditation was the fact that you just focus on your breathing. While focusing on the breath you observe your thoughts, ideas, beliefs, feelings and emotions as they appear and recede from the Human Mind Consciousness (Ego) with no attachments. Eventually the thoughts etc., appear less often and a stillness happens as you become more conscious of the energy within your physical body. In my particular case while doing Vipassana meditation I had huge blocks of energy within my body from years of physical abuse from sports and other stupid activities, suppressing my emotions, feelings, not dealing with my dysfunctional unconscious beliefs, destructive behaviour patterns, psychological addictions etc. Over the course of 50 years my body had contracted and compressed my skeletal structure to the point that I could not sit cross legged, turn my head left or right and I could not kneel or bend over. The compression of my body affected my organs as they were also compressed from the physical muscles, ligaments and fascia contraction, which pushed my organs into unnatural forms and positions that hindered their performance etc. This then created physical ailments that then lead to surgeries and the pharmaceutical drug treadmill. What I eventual realized was that I had ignored the signals from the conscious organization that maintains my body’s health, wellbeing, balance, and harmony. (I know this is somewhat off topic, but I feel it adds to the depth of meditation and how some aspects of consciousness can be obtained from meditation) The blocked Energy then became my mind struggle as I journeyed into the field of energy that held the structure of my physical body from within. Hours after hours and day after day I tried to observe the rise and fall of pain that my body held from all the blocked energy. Eventually I managed to accept the pain and released my mental attachments to them (for lack of better words). Once I managed to release my mental attachments to the blocks of energy in my physical body, I began to observe a greater depth of beingness. It was a complete stillness within, I no longer was attached to the physical. I was no-longer me, but still me as a consciousness. I was floating in a field of energy and consciousness with no concept of a physical “I” or “Me”. “I” was sheer bliss, Love and a feeling of being home. I could have stayed there forever, but just as I was going deeper into the layers of consciousness, physical reality dragged me back to my body and Human mind Consciousness, when a student tapped me on the shoulder, late in the night, and told me to leave the meditation hall and return to my room. Go figure!!! A Student sharing thoughts, ideas, and beliefs!

Good material, thanks for sharing! I don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble, but this is Old News, “Seth” spoke about this, and more, in his books written by Jane Roberts back in the 60s and 70s. A lot of Seth’s material was heavily studied in a few Universities around the world back in the 70s and 80s, and a lot of the Gurus, which people are, and have followed in the last 50 years, also studied this material and have integrated this knowledge into their own experience and consciousness. That’s not to take away anything form Dr. Joe Dispenza, because he is a student and teacher of consciousness, sharing his perception of thoughts, ideas, imaginative realities, beliefs, feelings and emotions on healing to the collective consciousness. We are all students and teachers in our own way, sharing knowledge that we have acquired through experience and shared knowledge, which has, and always has been, in the "All-That-Is" since the very beginning. Nothing is New, and yet it is New. That is the paradox of Consciousness.

Good Question! Here is my take on the difference from 1 to a million Enlightened individuals. It’s huge! The universe is pure Conscious Energy. Conscious Energy is either a wave or particle that communicates with everything in the All-That-Is, including the atoms and molecules that form and make up the cells, organs, nervous system, chemicals etc., within the form of your physical body. Your physical body has its own conscious organization that is in constant communication with all of consciousness. If you didn’t have this physical conscious organization taking care of your body you would not exists. Unfortunately, most people do not realize this and ignore or shut off their connection and awareness of this organization of consciousness that is running and maintain their body. Hence, disease, illness, mental disorders etc. When only one individual is Enlightened in a Collective group of 1 million unconscious individuals, the energy is faint (for lack of better words) amongst the group of unconscious individuals. But if 500,000 of those became enlightened! The conscious field of energy would increase dramatically, and would affect everyone in the group of 1 million. Not only will it affect the group of 1 million, but also all of Consciousness. Examples; as an enlightened individual walking into a group of people that are having a huge argument, were everyone is angry, fearful and emotionally upset, you would immediately notice the heavy feeling of low conscious energy within the group. On the flip side, if you are unconscious and walk into a group of 1 million enlightened individuals, you would have no choose but to feel the flow of Love and Compassionate energy that is resonating in the group. In fact, it would be so intense the unconscious individual would probably want to run away because the individual’s feelings and emotions of Love and Compassion would be so intense and foreign that it would overwhelm them. Example; if you where sitting in a stadium that could seat 1 million people, and you are sitting in the middle of the field and the stadium only had one light on, the darkness is far more consuming then the light. Now let’s turn on 1 million lights in the stadium and see what happens! As an example; Why do you think people go to these huge Christian (Religious) gatherings with a Preacher either ranting about evil, or ranting about Love (Yes, it’s about Religion, but)? Why do you think people go to Concerts, (yes, it’s for the music, but)? But the real unconscious Reason is! They are attracted to the Energy that the collective group generates and then resonates with, which vibrates every atom, molecule, cell, organ, etc., within the individual and the group. It’s like a Stoners High… for lack of better words. What kind of energy does everyone in the world feel at this moment about COVID19? What's the difference in feelings from those that are directly affected and those that are not? My educated guess would be fear, anxiety, anger, etc. regardless if they are directly affected or not, because the fear and anxiety is permeating and resonating at an intense level within the collective consciousness. On the flip side, what kind of energy do you think most humans felt when World War 2 ended? Most likely joy and relief at the beginning and then sadness and anger for the waste of human lives at the cost of stupidity. My pointed is, Consciousness, energy, awareness, thoughts, ideas, beliefs, feelings and emotions etc., are all conscious waves and particles that affect everything in the All-That-Is (God consciousness). So yes, it does make a huge difference from 1 to 1 million Enlightened. It’s all about energy, waves, particles, frequencies, and how we resonate as an Individual or as a Collective, either Consciously or Unconsciously! Just a Human student sharing thoughts, ideas and beliefs!

Now I understand, Yes, I do know some of the basics of Dark room retreats. Thanks for sharing!

Do as you wish, and live a day longer! I still don't understand what you are saying and how that even comes close to relating to the topic of this Post?✌

I am a spiritual being having a human experience, with all my flaws, and take full ownership of who and what I am. Having said that, and this may come across the wrong way with some of you, but believe me what I am about say comes from a place of Love and Compassion. So out of respect to everyone here, some of you may want to check out some of the definitions of narcissistic tendencies etc. Not saying anyone here has any of those tendencies, but these psychological conditions are also a part of the very fabric of the collective consciousness, and we are all vulnerable to them and can easily fall into those pitfalls when we project our “Self importance” or those of others. Just take a look of what is happening around the world and Politics! That is why shadow work is so extremely important. Just sharing some thoughts, ideas, and beliefs!

Those are strong ideas and beliefs. I believe God, or the All-That-Is, is not that vindictive. There is no right or wrong. People who focus their thoughts, ideas, imaginations and beliefs on suffering and disease create that kind of reality. Having said that, It is their journey to focus on what kind of reality they want to create. When we are conscious of our thoughts, ideas, beliefs etc.’ we can share our Love and Compassion through sharing of conscious thoughts, ideas, and beliefs to help awaken those that are unconscious and are caught in a hypnotic dream state. No-one dies, suffers or receives a disease or illness without their approval and acceptance. Most accept these conditions unconsciously because of the unconscious beliefs they have accepted throughout their life. An example would be; “I’m not worthy of Love, health, Joy etc., These thoughts and beliefs tell the atoms, molecules, cells and organs that your body is not worthy, of love, health and joy, which invites the suffering. That is why Shadow work is so important!

Sorry guys, I'm not sure I follow your thought patterns and how they relate to the conversation at hand.?✌

I hear what you are saying. You could also say that all of God’s creations in the everything was created with one thought, which then combined many thoughts, which created an idea, which created more ideas, which created imagination, which created infinite dream states, which created physical realities from those dream states, which created "Beings" with a narrowed focus of thoughts, ideas, imaginations, beliefs, and feelings that perceive (in our reality) with there 5, or possible 6 senses to create a reality here in this physical dream on Earth. We create our reality with thoughts, ideas, imagination, beliefs etc., they are from consciousness, and you and I become what thoughts etc., you focus on. The critical thinking is used to decide where you want to focus your attention on; discriminating, disregarding, letting go of that which does not serve your journey towards consciousness, or suffering. A thought does not create a belief. It is just one step in the process to a belief. Where you focus most of your attention is what becomes a belief and reality.

Maybe, but maybe not. Sharing thoughts, ideas, beliefs are not the same as projecting thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. We are individuals, but at the same time we are a collective. When we share, we are doing it through Love and Compassion, and when we receive thoughts, ideas and beliefs through sharing, it is up to you/us to discriminate using critical thinking to accept only that what resonates with you/our current thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. That is the power you possess and never should give away!

Unbelievable! Have you guys ever heard of “Projecting your thoughts, ideas, beliefs and imagination etc.???? Consciousness and awakening is an individual sensation (for lack of better words) that no one can claim is better or worse than someone else’s. Your thoughts, ideas, imagination, beliefs and feelings create your reality. “Your Reality”! One of the best teachings I received thus far on my journey is, “Never give your POWER away to anyone”. You can learn from others, but never, I mean “Never” put someone else on a pedestal ahead of yourself. When you Judge someone else, you are looking through the Mask of Self-importance, which is just an unconscious aspect of “Self-Pity”. When you follow someone else down the Rabbit Hole, that is also a form of Self Pity. I have been working on this psychological aspect of myself for over 10 years! It’s one of the most difficult psychological barriers that hinders an individual’s journey to consciousness. It’s also Narcissistic to think we here on this forum are far more advanced then anyone before Us or around Us! You Don’t know, that you Don’t Know. Did no one here read the post I put out yesterday about Jumping Mouse? It is a Native story told a long time ago, well before any of us here on this forum arrived in this life time. It’s about the journey towards enlightenment from a Natives Perspective, when most of the Natives were still very much “One” with all living things. It is my estimation that most of us here on this forum are no longer connected with all living things here on Earth. If you want to understand God Consciousness, a good place to start would be to connect with the God consciousness that surrounds you in this reality. Read it, you might learn something! Just sharing some thoughts, ideas and beliefs!

The Native way of teaching, and passing of knowledge and wisdom was usually done through stories and story telling. One of the stories that they shared with me was a story about Jumping Mouse. I do not want to interpret the story for you because the meaning and essence of the story will resonate with each of you differently. Native teachings generally do not tell you what you should think, they leave the thinking up to you. I realize this story is lengthy, but give it a go! Please feel free to share your thoughts on this story. Jumping Mouse -- This is a Plains Indian Sundance story. There are many Versions. This one was told to Robin Ridington by his friend and teacher, Chuck Storm, Hyemeyohsts. One time there was a mouse who lived with other mice and this little mouse kept hearing a roaring in his ears. He couldn't figure out what it was. All the time, everywhere he went, as he went about his mouse's business, his little whiskers going, looking into nooks and crannies, gathering things, taking seeds from one place to another, he kept hearing this roaring and he wondered what it was. Sometimes he would ask the other mice, "I hear this roaring in my ears, what is it?" And the other mice always said, "We don't hear anything. You must be crazy, get back to work. Accumulate!" So, he got back to work, being a mouse, and did all the things that mice do, but he couldn't get the roaring out of his ears and finally he resolved that he would try to find out what it was. Very timidly he went just to the edge of where the mice were living around the roots of trees and bushes. As soon as he got outside of where the mice lived, he saw a raccoon and the racoon said, "Hello, little brother," and he looked up and said, "Hello, brother." And he said, "You know, I hear this roaring in my ears all the time and I wonder what it is." The racoon said, "Oh, that's easy. I know what that is, that's the great river and I go there every day to wash my food." Little Mouse was really excited because this was the first time that anyone had ever said that what he heard was real and so he started scheming in his mouse's way about how he would take the proof back to all the other mice and then they wouldn't think he was strange anymore. So racoon said, "Yes, I'll take you to the river," and little mouse followed along behind him. Finally, they got to the edge of the great river, to a little eddy on the great river, but little mouse had never seen anything like that before in his life, this fantastic expanse of water. Where mice live the only water, they see is rainwater and dew. They don't see big bodies of water, and to little mouse it was just immense and he timidly went up to the edge of the water. He looked in and he freaked because he saw a mouse in there! He jumped back but nothing happened and he looked again and he saw, yes, it's a mouse in there. He'd seen his own reflection for the first time. The racoon led him down to the bank of the river and at one place he put his hand in and tasted the water and finally the racoon said, "I have to go about my business and find food and wash it in the river, but I'll take you to a friend of mine." So, racoon took little mouse to his brother, Frog. There was a big green frog sitting on the edge of the river, sort of half in and half out. Little mouse said to him, "Hello, brother," and the frog replied, "Hello, brother." And they talked for awhile and the frog told him all about his life, about how he had been given the gift to live half in the water and half out of the water. He was all green on top and white underneath. He told little mouse, "When thunderbird flies you will always find me here but when winter- man comes I will be gone." That sounded pretty good to little mouse and then the frog said to him, "Do you want a medicine?" Little mouse said, "Sure, I'd like a medicine, yes." And then the frog said, "O. K., just crouch down as low as you can get and then jump up as high as you can jump." So little mouse did that. He got down as low as he could go and then he jumped up as high as a mouse could jump. And when he jumped up he saw the sacred mountains and then he fell back down and fell into the water. Nothing like this had ever happened to him before and he scurried out of the water and he was really mad. He said, "You tricked me, that's no medicine, I fell in the water." And the frog said, "Yes, you fell in the water. You're wet. But you're safe, you're alive, aren't you?" And little mouse said, "Yes, I am." And the frog said to him, "What did you see when you jumped up?" Little mouse said, "Oh, yes, yes. I saw the sacred mountains." And the frog said to him, "You have a new name. Your name is Jumping Mouse." Jumping Mouse thanks the frog for having taught him and then he says, "It's time to go back to my people. I want to tell them about the sacred mountains." He has really changed. Instead of saying, "I want to prove to those bastards that the river really exists," now he is just excited. He's seen the sacred mountains and he wants to go back and share his vision with his people. He speaks in innocence because he has learned from the frog. He wants to go back in innocence to tell them about it, and in innocence he will be able to return. The frog tells him, "It's easy to go back to your people. Just keep the sound of the river behind you. The roaring that you heard is now your medicine. You know what it is and you can return to your people." Mice are unable to go in a straight line because they can see close but with the medicine behind him Jumping Mouse can return. He has always heard it, but now he can navigate by it, he has a direction. Jumping Mouse keeps the medicine behind him and goes back to where the other mice are living. He says to them, "You know that roaring in my ears? It was the great river and racoon took me there and I met a frog. The frog gave me a medicine and I jumped up and I saw the sacred mountains." But they looked at him really strangely because he was all wet. He had forgotten entirely about falling in the river but they started whispering among themselves. They said, "An animal must have had him in its mouth. There must be something wrong with him. There must be some pollution, something terrible that he was in the jaws of death and wasn't taken. Very dangerous person." They didn't even hear what he said about the sacred mountains. Poor Jumping Mouse was just crestfallen at this because he had really wanted to tell them about what he had seen so they could see it too, but they couldn't. You cannot see through the eyes of another without giving him your eyes, and they were unable to do that. He stayed with them for a while because they were his people, but finally he resolved that he would go on and find the sacred mountains. He told them about his resolve and they said, "You're insane, you can't do it, the spots will get you." They knew, all mice know, that out on the prairie eagles can swoop down and get mice. But mice do not know eagles. They are too distant from them and so they only see them as spots in the sky. They can see close into the little things of the earth but when they look up and far away they only see spots. And this is a paradox, but eagles when they are close to the ground only see things as a blur. The mice's fear of spots is real because eagles are real and really get mice, and Jumping Mouse was terrified but went on. Out onto the prairie he went, his whiskers feeling, dodging this way and that, feeling the spots pressing down on his back. The prairie is where the great animals meet and travel far and it is an alien place for a mouse. Jumping Mouse went out into it with his fear and finally he came to a circle of sweet sage. The circle of sage was a haven, a cover from the spots, and sweet sage is a plant that you cannot eat but which is used by the Indians for incense, prayer, something healing and beautiful. There in the sweet sage was an old, old mouse. Long braids, an old mouse. Jumping Mouse was joyous to meet someone of his own kind he could talk to out in this alien place. The clump of sage was a haven and a paradise for mice. There were seeds and roots to crawl into and everything a mouse could want there. He went up to the old mouse and he said, "Grandfather, I heard a roaring in my ears and I have been to the great river." The old mouse said, "Yes, I too heard the roaring and I too have been to the great river." Jumping Mouse was really excited because for the first time he had found a mouse who had shared his experience. So, they talked about the river and the common things they knew. Jumping Mouse was more and more excited and he said, "And then I met the frog and he told me to jump up and I jumped up and I saw the sacred mountains." The old mouse was silent for a long time and finally said, "My grandson, the great river is real and we have both been there and tasted its water, but the sacred mountains are just a myth. They don't exist." Jumping Mouse was just crushed and disappointed by this and the old mouse said to him, "Stay with me and grow old with me here. This is a perfect place for mice and we have both been further than any other mouse." Jumping Mouse resolves to go on and the old mouse is really upset. He says, "You can't do that, the spots will get you." But Jumping Mouse is resolved and he leaves the old mouse in the sage. He goes out onto the prairie and he is really afraid. He can feel the spots, just feel them pressing in. Knows that they are there every moment; his little whiskers are going fast and finally he gets out to the middle of the prairie and comes to a stand of chokecherry bushes. Chokecherries are good to eat but they make you fantastically thirsty. The more you eat, the more thirst you have. Jumping Mouse is out of breath and thankful for a safe haven and cover from the spots and as he lies there panting, he hears a great sighing slowly, up and down. And he looks up and sees that it is a great animal. Jumping Mouse thinks, "I am so small and this great being is so large," and he forgets his fear in his awe and goes up to the animal and says, "Hello, great brother," and it replies, "Hello, little brother," and Jumping Mouse asks, "Who are you?" and he says, "I am a Buffalo and I am dying." When he hears this, little mouse is overcome with sadness that this great being that he has just met is dying and he says to him, "What can I do to make you well? Is there any medicine that will make you well?" And the buffalo says, "I have talked with my medicine and it has told me that there is only one thing that will make me well, and that is the eye of a mouse, and there is no such thing as a mouse." Jumping Mouse was just freaked by this and he ran back, his little whiskers going, his tail behind him until he reached some cover. But from a safe place he heard the breathing again, getting slower and slower, and he felt a tremendous compassion for the buffalo. "I am so small," he thought, "and the buffalo is so great and so beautiful." Finally, he came out from his hole, taking two steps forward and one step back, his tail dragging, but resolved to speak to his great brother. "I want to tell you something," he said, " there is such a thing as a mouse and I am a mouse." "Thank you very much, little brother," the buffalo replied. "I will die happy knowing that there is such a thing as a mouse. But it is too much to ask of you to give one of your eyes." But Jumping Mouse told him, "No, I am so small and you are so great that I would like to give you one of my eyes and make you well." And immediately as he said that, one of his eyes flew out of his head and the Buffalo jumped up, strong and powerful, his hooves pounding on the earth and his great head dancing and hooking. He was strong and he said, "I know who you are. You are Jumping Mouse and you have been to the river and jumped up and seen the sacred mountains. You are on your way to them. I can guide you across the prairie, for I am one of the great beings of the prairie. Run underneath me. I know you are afraid of the spots, and I will protect you from them. You will be safe and I will take you across the prairie right to the edge of the sacred mountains. But I can't take you farther than that because I am a creature of the prairie and I must stay here to give away to the people. If I go up onto the sacred mountains it will be too steep and I will fall and crush you." So, Jumping Mouse runs underneath the buffalo across the prairie, his hooves just pounding, dust flying, shaking the earth and little mouse is frightened at the great power of the buffalo. He knows he is safe but this is worse, trying to keep up with a goddam buffalo! Finally, they get to the edge of the prairie and he is really exhausted and he comes creeping out from underneath the great buffalo, thankful to be alive. He looks up at the great gift and he says, "That was really something!" And the buffalo says, "You didn't need to worry, little brother. I am a buffalo and I know where I place every footstep. I am a great dancer and light on my feet. I could see you underneath me all the way and you were perfectly safe." So, the buffalo left Jumping Mouse at the edge of the sacred mountains, and he looks around. Who should he see now but a wolf, sitting there - a big beautiful wolf, just sitting on his haunches, kind of looking around one place or another. And he goes up to him and he says, "Hello, brother Wolf." And the wolf says, "Wolf, wolf, yes, I'm a wolf, wolf, yes, wolf," and then he sort of sits back and a beatific grin comes across his and he doesn't say any more. His mind wanders, slips away. And Jumping Mouse can't figure that out. What the hell's going on? So, he comes up again and he says, "Hello, brother wolf," and the wolf says "Wolf, wolf, yes wolf, wolf yes, I'm a wolf, yes," and his voice trails off as his mind slips again. So, Jumping Mouse wonders what is going on and he goes a little distance away and he listens to the beating of his heart; the sound of his heart is beating like a drum inside him. And he remembered all the thing that have happened to him. He remembered that when the buffalo was dying the thing that would make him well was the eye of a mouse and he figures that's good medicine. "I've got good medicine, a lot of power in the eye of a mouse." And he resolves that he will give his other eye to the wolf and that will make him well. So he goes up to the wolf and he says, "Brother wolf," and the wolf begins to say, "Wolf, wolf" but Jumping Mouse stops him and says, "I want to give you one of my eyes," and immediately his eye, his last eye, is gone and he's blind, and the wolf jumps up and says, Yes, I'm a wolf. I know who you are. You are Jumping Mouse. You have been to the great river, the frog has shown you the sacred mountains, the buffalo has brought you to me, and I can guide you to the medicine lake at the top of the sacred mountains." Little mouse is blind now, and all he has is his whiskers. He can touch but he has given up all his old ways of seeing. He can only touch things close now. The wolf takes him up from the prairie, through the pines, "stands-in-place," Finally they get to the open country at the top of the mountain. There are no trees there, no cover, nothing for a mouse. They get to the edge of the medicine lake and the wolf tells him, "We are here. We are at the medicine lake." And he sits Jumping Mouse down by it. Jumping Mouse takes his hand and puts it in the water and tastes it, and it's good, it's beautiful. And then the wolf describes to him what he can see in the medicine lake. He says, "In the medicine lake are reflected all the lodges of the people. The whole world is reflected there. The medicine lake is the reflection. It is a symbol of the reflection. They sit there and Jumping Mouse knows that it is time for the wolf to go about his business and travel to other parts of the world. It is time for the eagles to get him. It is an open place and as soon as his guide is gone the eagles will see him and come. He is blind and he can't see them. The wolf feels tremendous compassion and feeling for Jumping Mouse his brother, and his heart stretches out to him, and the wolf cries. Then he leaves and Jumping Mouse is left alone, blind, nothing but looking within, and he can feel the spots on his back, just pressing in, hard. And then he hears the rush of wind and wings and then there is a fantastic shock and everything is black. The next thing he knows, he can see colours. He can see! He can see colours. And he's amazed, astounded, he doesn't know if he's dreaming or what is happening. But he's alive and he can see colours. Then he sees a blur of colours moving toward him, something green and white moving his way and from the colours comes a voice. "You want a medicine?" And Jumping Mouse says, "Yes, I'd like a medicine." And the voice says, "Just get down as far as you can and jump up as high as you can jump." So little mouse gets down as low as he can and jumps up as high as he can jump, and when he does, the wind catches him and swirls him up and up and up in the air. And the voice calls out from below him, "Grab hold of the wind!" So little mouse reaches out and grabs hold of the wind as hard as he can, and the wind takes him higher and higher until everything begins to get clearer and clearer. Crystal clear, and he can see all the great beings of the prairie, the buffalo, the wolf on the mountain, and he looks down into the medicine lake and there are all the lodges of the people reflected, and on the edge of the medicine lake he sees his friend the frog. He calls down to him, "Hello, brother Frog," and the frog calls back to him, "Hello, brother Eagle." Just sharing some thoughts, ideas and beliefs!

"Seth Speaks", by Jane Roberts

@pluto Thanks for sharing! Your thoughts on this topic are very similar to mine. Most humans believe they are separate from all the conscious entities within Nature and the conscious entity of “Earth”. I believe and feel that we are “one” with everything that is contained within the Earth Bubble, and of course beyond. Our higher “self” in the “All That Is” materialized into this conscious paradise to become co-creators with all the other conscious entities that signed-up for the “Earth” experience. Sadly, we humans are going through some “unconscious” “self-centred”, “Psychotic” growing pains, which all of the other co-creators of Mother Nature and the Earth, want us to become aware of. Since most humans are no longer connected intuitively with the rest of the conscious co-creators of Mother Nature, the Earth entity, or their higher consciousness/Self, they have had to use other means to communicate with us, such as; diseases, Pandemics, Earthquakes, devastating disasters etc. What most humans don’t understand is how our self-centered, psychotic, and psychopathic behaviours have had a detrimental effect on all the other conscious entities, beings and co-creators within and beyond the Earth experience. Everything in Consciousness is interrelated and interconnected with “All That Is”. Our negative, destructive, self-centered, psychotic, and materialistic thoughts, ideas, beliefs, feelings and emotions affect everyone and everything, near and far. The Coronavirus is a wake-up call from all the conscious co-creators of Mother Nature, the Earth, and all the conscious atoms and molecules that create your cells, organs, nervous system and human senses. That is not to say that these disasters would not occur if we were all enlightened, because that is also part and parcel of us participating in the Earth experience. Many of these Pandemics, and natural disasters can and are used for humans to experience a physical death and transition back to their/our Higher “Self”, to the dream state of “All That Is”. Life, or Beingness, is very fluid. Death and Birth are/is a transitional illusion that is used back and forth from “Form to Non-Form” and vice-versa. It’s all in your perspective. I see the unconscious and conscious chaos we are experience and creating around the world and this Pandemic as a wake-up call, and more importantly, a turning point in our conscious evolution. “It’s all, capital “G”, Good”. Just share some thoughts, ideas and beliefs!

Been there and bought the tee-shirt. I went through that dark night as well, are you kidding me, I am still going through that dark night, but less intense. (“Dark night”, is just a label I use to mean “an intense change of old habits, patterns and beliefs). Here is my take on “All That Is”, (I’m trying to get away from the label of “God Consciousness” because no matter how conscious you think you have become it still has some lingering juice and affiliation with Religion hidden in the unconscious human mind), is a vast dream state of Consciousness and Energy that dreams up all physical realties, all thoughts, ideas, feelings, and probable existences. So here is the conflict that I face when breaking through layers of consciousness and awareness; we are all in a physical “Earth Dream” that has accepted the predominant thoughts and ideas from either the evolutionist and creationist belief systems, Religious or Scientific paradigms, either consciously or unconsciously. It’s embedded within the Human Collective Mind Belief System and individual Ego Mind Consciousness. The emotions and turmoil I feel, as I break through each layer of consciousness, are the result of breaking through the Human Collective thought patterns, ideas, beliefs, and feelings that I have accepted and have embedded into my physical and mental “self” over the last 60 years as a participant of the Collective human conditioning and societal experience. The awkward feelings, emotions and energy I experience, are the result of my “NEW” thoughts, ideas, beliefs, imaginations, feelings, emotions struggling to change, release and denounce the “OLD” Human Collective thought patterns, ideas and beliefs etc., that I have carried within the physical, mental “self” all these years. The “Alone” feeling is normal and is part-and-parcel of becoming conscious and awake. We are leaving our “Family” of “old” familiar thoughts, ideas, beliefs, feelings, emotions, and even some relationships behind, to explore higher levels of conscious thoughts, ideas, beliefs, etc., that no-longer resonate with the “OLD”. I have found that it is almost impossible to eliminate all of my thoughts, ideas, beliefs, feelings and emotions from the “Self’. It is my belief that if one were to eliminate them entirely, one would no longer exist in this physical reality, or even in the “All That Is” because Consciousness needs all of them to be Creator and Creation. What I have found to be helpful is to “Create” new thoughts, ideas, beliefs etc., that resonate with the changes you are going through. Don’t get caught-up in the “Void of Nothingness” that many people in these forums worship or strive. The “All That Is”, is much more diverse, exciting and fun to explore than trying to obtain or become Nothing! If any of the ideas that I used in this Post resonate with you, I highly recommend reading some of the books from Seth (Start with “Seth Speaks”). Seth will go much more into detail than what I have shared here with you, with more advance material than any other books I have read over the years. The Seth material will help you integrate the changes you are experiencing with your thoughts, ideas and belief, and will help you experience and understand higher levels of consciousness. Just remember, "you are not alone"! Just sharing some thoughts, ideas, beliefs!

The answer is within. When you do Yoga, how does your body feel? Does it enjoy the stretches? Does it struggle with pain? Can you “Be” with the posture? When doing Yoga, how does it feel to breath? Does it calm down? Do you feel the isness in it? Do you struggle and hold your breath often? When doing Yoga, where is your mind? Does it dance from thought to thought? Does it calm down? Does it become “one” with the moment? When doing Yoga, can you feel the energy within? Is it blocked or numb in areas? Does it flow with consciousness and freedom? Can you feel the atoms and molecules that make up your cells and organs? When doing Yoga, are you aware of your higher “self”? Are you caught up in physical reality? Do you want to be somewhere else? When doing Yoga, how do you feel; mentally, physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually after completing the session? The answer to what Yoga is, may be within some of the thoughts, ideas and beliefs I just shared with you. Take these thoughts, ideas, and beliefs and play with them and create your own reality of what Yoga “is” and “can be”! Keep your thoughts, ideas and beliefs fluid. Observe them, and watch how they change as you progress with your Yoga sessions! Enjoy the journey, don’t worry about the destination….. Just sharing some thoughts, ideas, and beliefs!

I don’t believe Biden is as conscious as Bernie. The sad reality is it doesn’t matter how conscious the Democratic leader is, they could be yellow for that matter. The problem is most of the elite that hold sway in the Democratic party are still sitting in orange and want to maintain status-quo. The other problem is the two-tier system of the House of Reps and the Senate. Even if you have a conscious leader as President, you need the support from both the House of reps and the Senate to pass bills and make effective changes. Take a look at what happened to Obama, he barely got anything passed through his eight years of power because most of the people sitting in the House and Senate are Blue and Orange SD minded. Most of Obama’s initiatives for change were all watered down or blocked because of the unconscious fears the Blue and Orange SD’s had when it came to progressive ideas and changes. Both the Dem’s and Republicans were guilty of handcuffing Obama when it came to Obamacare and other initiatives in the House of Rep’s and the Senate. A leader can only pass ideas and change if he has the support from both sides, and that has not happened in American Politics for a long time, Unit States is basically Bankrupt and no one wants to admit it. Not even the world banks, the Politian’s, or most of the population. The teenager (Government) basically maxed-out all of the credit cards and the credit companies (Billionaires) have horded all the money. No one wants to pay high taxes, but everyone wants to keep on partying and have everything given to them at no cost to them. As long as this mentality exists in the Government, the Ultra rich, and the average person, nothing will change. The dysfunctional Political House of Cards has to fall first before a conscious leader will ever have a chance of making meaningful changes, this includes the House of Reps and the Senate on both sides of the aisle. So, to answer your question in a round-about way, it really doesn’t matter how conscious Biden is. If he gets elected President, the Democratic Party will be handed and will be force to sit on a warehouse of unstable explosives that Trump and the Republican Party have built. Eventually this stock pile will explode or implode when the economy crashes. And as long as the House of Reps and the Senate decide to continue creating Drama and Chaos amongst themselves, nothing will change. For anything meaningful to change, you need consciousness on both the Left and Right sides of the political spectrum. The United States is slowly heading in that direction, but they are not quite there yet. The train needs to crash first so that the majority of the population are forced to awaken from Red, Blue and Orange SD state of unconscious dreaming. Who knows, maybe the train will crash before the Elections! Let's Hope! Just some thoughts, ideas and beliefs!

“Let Trump win the 2020 elections.” If the Democrats win the 2020 election, they will take on a huge Debt in the Trillions upon trillions and a yearly Deficit that I believe has also reached a trillion $$$$$. What do you think will happen to the Democrat’s when the huge tax break Trump gave the rich finally catches up with the economy in the next 4 years? Where do you think unemployment will end up in the next 4 years? What about the stock markets? Where do you think the Democrat’s are going to get the money to fund a health care system for all, when this all comes crashing down? What do you think will happen to the Democrat’s if they get caught in a recession that will more than likely happen in the next 4 years? The Democrat’s will get annihilated by the American People, especially by the far-Right fanatics when all the cards come crashing down. It doesn’t matter if Bernie is more conscious and awake then every other nominee, the cards will come crashing down. He will get slaughtered if he wins and he and the Democrat's will be blamed for the mess Trump and the Republican’s orchestrated. It doesn’t take a psychic to see that the writing is on the wall. Stop looking at the short-term future! This train needs to crash before any good can happen. Vote Trump, and let him and all the Blue and Orange SD people hit bottom. Only then can the American people rise up out of the ashes and chaos and change the world for the better……. I know it’s painful for all you green, yellow, and turquois SD’s, but you have to go beyond your emotions and beliefs and consciously discriminate what the long-term effects will be if the Democrat’s win in 2020. Just thoughts and beliefs!

I believe I understand what you are say, and your intentions are in the right place. Everyone has something to offer in this physical reality that we are experiencing as individuals and as a collective. There are no right or wrongs, better or worse, it just is. Everyone needs to travel their journey on there own and make “Mis-take(s),” as they say in Hollywood, along the path to consciousness. You, Leo, myself and everyone else here likes to share their thoughts, ideas, and beliefs because we all care deep down, not only for ourselves, but for others that are on the path and those that are not. We learn by sharing, we show Love and Compassion by sharing, even if it means someone’s sharing can be more conscious, or less conscious or even unconscious in nature. The intent remains the same, it’s neither better or worse. “It’s all good.” Having said that, this is what I would like to share; I have read hundreds of books about consciousness, Love, compassion, spirituality, reality, nothingness etc. If I had to do it all over again, I would start with “Seth Speaks” by Jane Roberts and take it from there. It’s over fifty years old, but it's advanced material. It can be difficult to understand if you are new to spirituality and not had any conscious break throughs that left you questioning what reality is, who am I, and how do my thoughts, ideas, and beliefs create my reality. I have listened and read many forums and watched a lot of videos, and it all helps. Having said that, if you feel like you are spinning your wheels and feel stuck, give Seth Speaks, a try. You may resonate or may not resonate with the knowledge. I have nothing to gain by giving this book a recommendation other than sharing a gift that someone shared with me a while ago. I’m just passing the gift on. Nothing more and nothing less. Humbly sharing some thoughts, ideas and beliefs!

Sorry, I have not read Walsch's "Conversations with God", but thanks I will have to look in to it. The Seth books deal with most of the relevant aspects that relate to our physical reality that we are experiencing from a conscious and awake state. Seth speaks a lot about; The Eternal validity of the soul, The Nature of Personal Reality, The Nature of the psyche, The Unknown Reality, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, and several others. The ones I have mentioned deal a lot on topics of dreams, healing, natural disasters, your beliefs and emotions, different realities, your soul, and even how we as a collective influence our cultures, relationships, and Politics. They are all good reads! Enjoy…
