@CARDOZZO For starters, how often do you experience what is called synchronicities?

@CARDOZZO What "skills" do you feel you were born with or feel they come naturally of their own accord?

@Joseph Maynor I must admit, from time to time I've wondered how 'Joseph' was doing. It has been a while, hasn't it. Your reply sounds quite intriguing. Care to share? -your journey?

Once while looking at a blue sky full of clouds, it dawned on me that beyond that blue sky was an infinite cosmos full of stars, planets, and galaxies. And in a moment that infinite cosmos suddenly dissolved into one.

Love prevailed. Who's Love? Yours or Leo's? If I remember correctly the last time you were on the forum you were in India getting scammed by the locals.

Drop everything you know and meet it on its own level. Logic need not apply.

@Ramasta9 Agreed. Anything else would be 'other'.

I don't have my parents anymore, but I do have a sister that believes in the all mighty $$ over all else. If it were someone else, I could care less. But being my sis, I can't help it but to sometimes feel disappointed in what she values most.

Direct experience is like a flame that can never be extinguished.

Sugar can't taste sugar. Would you go so far as to say what is known is a dream? Knowing is dreaming.

I won't. Have at it.

@James123 Come back when you're sober.

Thanks for sharing what's on your mind.

Keep that which is most essential to your true nature. Only you can answer what they are. For instance, mine would be music, working in the vegetable garden, wood working, camping/being outdoors, contemplation, meditation.

Supposedly, it happens because you're between REM sleep and waking which can be caused by sleep deprivation, stress, or irregular sleep patterns.

@SimpleGuy Apply the same 80/20 rule you would use to keep you cell phone battery in optimum working condition. Don't allow your spirituality to run below 20% or above 80% or you run the risk of degrading your materialistic pursuits.

@Emerald has extensive knowledge of sleep paralysis and possibly a YT video on the subject.

@Schahin I didn't lock it, but I can unlock it if you'd like and hide the distractions. BTW I'm pretty sure there still is a 'block' option you can use if needed.

Most people will eventually come to feel this way and live with this knowledge in the background of their daily life. It becomes even more obvious when out in the world observing the hustle -bustle of people running round, keeping busy in their daily activities. When you drive in a car you will see the traffic, the roads, the buildings, the ongoings of daily life and think, all this will go on fine without my presents. But a few will see it differently and know that the world is only there when you are there to witness it. And that your awareness brings everything into existence.

@Yimpa @Beans So glad you have each other. Together you are one. That's a good place to be.

You had me check for warnings. No signs of hitting below the belt. Just the expected body blows - fair play.

Always at your service.

That was a general comment not directed at anyone personally.

If that was always the case, we wouldn't need mods. But some people just don't live from the heart center.
