And you're welcome for The Doors link the other morning. I'd never pass an opportunity to link to one of my favorite bands!

“The child must mature, and your system is a maturing ground, a very primary one…. A beginning school…”

“The human race is a stage though which various forms of consciousness travel. Before you can be allowed into systems of reality that are more extensive and open, you must first learn to handle energy and see, through physical materialization, the concrete result of thought and emotion.”

“In more advanced systems, thoughts, and emotions are automatically and immediately translated into action, into whatever approximation of matter there exists. Therefore, the lessons must be taught and learned well. The responsibility for creation must be clearly understood.”


Thought I'd highlight the good stuff.
Another good one!

Now....how to undo two thousand years of brainwashing/conditioning? On a spiritual level, too many people have accepted the role of being sheep, and to have their thinking done for them.

Not to mention if they dare "think" they should have the role that I highlighted (that of a "god"), they are being satanic. What if we replanted the seeds to more understandable terms? God is the sun, satan is the moon/night. We need BOTH to go on in this life...neither is "better" than the other. Not to mention neither exist as a "single" entity, ie, two men battling for our souls (they're more of, *gasp* a mobius strip...). Honestly, I don't worry myself too much with the "sheep" - they'll just keep finding themselves back in a third density planet in their, um, "end." *tries hard not to giggle*

Good morning!

I love the Doors! With all the wealth of material to choose from, it's not easy, but my favorite is "The End". What a Song!!

I like this line from it: "Lost in a roman wilderness of pain - and all their children are insane - all the children are insane - waiting for the summer rain...yeah!"

That sums up the 60's pretty good...

Good morning, though really it's good night for me (I work second/third shift).

I know what you mean by picking a favorite, but I'll have to stick with this:

SO true! As if thinking for ones-self is somhow evil. Letting go of the Fear of eternal damnation I was conditioned to believe in, was the hardest part. For me. I never liked the thought of being caught in a power struggle between two entities, who were/are both "after" my eternal soul.

Well I can't sleep yet...but I may before you reply. However when I get home in the wee hours of tomorrow, I wish to see links. From google I have gathered Bartholomew is another entity like Seth and...Odin - I've heard of Odin's Cross (and by cross, I mean a wooden one, not the history or anything) but if there is more, I'd like to know.

What was the retreat like? What did you do? Did anyone happen to ask Bartholomew why some experience death as "nothingness" and others experience light? I'm guessing it is relative to the person's belief (I haven't finished my one book yet :-P).
