@Osaid I look out my window and there is a golden sunset. Each a cell of awareness. Collectively the whole.

Each a cell of awareness.

Bingo! Nice to breath a fresh air of Truth around here.

"And he descended into Hell" The phrase "He descended into hell" in the Apostles' Creed refers to the time between Jesus' death and resurrection. This concept, called the Harrowing of Hell, suggests Jesus went to the realm of the dead during this period and brought salvation to souls waiting there. It's part of the creed's description of Jesus' suffering, death, and ultimate victory over death through his resurrection. @Davino What do you think of that? That's some heavy &h*t man. Did you experience anything like a Hall of Souls? Maybe you could have saved a few while you were there.

My daughter is a schoolteacher in a rather underprivileged area. It seems a lot of her students could benefit from something such as meditation to help offset the turmoil of their current home life.

A Buddhist monk sacrificing himself by fire in protest of the Viet Nam war.

So, you agree with what I said in my original statement. *BTW- it was meant to be humorous. Should have added- My bad.

Connecting sewage pipe together doesn't qualify someone as being a professional scatologist.

A plumber can connect a bunch of sewage pipe together and not know shit.

True understanding is a bit more nuanced than what the mind can handle.

I figured it out. The part of the spoon or fork that bends is cast in Gallium which has a melting point of 85.5 degrees. Notice for instance the bright concentrated light where the fork tines bend. Gallium can be easily obtained on Amazon. So, all you would need to do is make an impression of a fork in clay. Cut the tines off and replace the missing material with molten Gallium. Then do your magic trick under a bright concentrated heat source such as a high intensity spotlight. He could even have an electric heater going under the table. Notice when he puts the spoon down it continues to bend?

There's some AI or editing magic going on in the spoon bending vid.

Here's a question: If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into?

@Leo Gura Have you ever explored it to see if there is any truth to it? Combined with the proper diet. I have no idea but according to Edger Caycey this is what the Akashic records suggest.

Edgar Casey said he could access the akashic records for cures to illnesses. I'm skeptical of all of it but I think if anyone had that ability, he would be a top contender. For instance, for a thyroid disease such as Hashimoto's disease he would prescribe small doses of Atomic Iodine (Atomidine). *Of course, ALWAYS consult a medical professional first.

@Someone here There's a good video on YT I watched years ago. I think it was called "Consciousness: The final frontier" Something like that. It was along the lines of what you're saying. Adam= Adamic man.

@Someone here Yes, more self-identity, less selflessness. Was that what was referred to as the "Tree of knowledge" that was spoken about in the story of Adam and Eve? For the first time they felt naked- (self-conscious?)

Matthew 18:3 Unless ye become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. My translation: little children are egoless and without preconception. Always seeing the world anew.

How Do You Relate to Reality, Self, World? Infinite cycles of impermanence.

Dreams are the gateway to infinite dimensions within consciousness, so the possibilities are endless. But for a targeted realization it's often said to set an intention before falling asleep.

I'd start with becoming more aware during sleep and dream states. There is a treasure trove there waiting to be realized.

The mind is mostly landscape orientated. Plus, deep seated emotional triggers from past experiences can often invade the experience of the now moment. One sight. One smell. One word. One thought even is all it takes. When you talk about "training your mind" what you are really talking about is learning to control your Default Mode Network.

Kudos to seeing the mystical experience within the ordinary.

Sure, one can have moments of clarity and oneness. But can you live like that even when the going gets tough?
