Is anyone else feeling it?

Yeah but there are awesome churches and cathedrals all over Europe, ninae.

You should get out and view some of these and see what emotions you get out of it.

That beats words and writing a lot of the time :)

I'm not religious, but I get a spiritual feeling wandering around these places and imagining all the history that has gone through the places.

The details on the murals. It seems that these couldn't be painted by artists that didn't truly believe in some higher power, I think.

Then I think about the ones that pretend to be religious. For reasons that are selfish and misleading.

That's the line for me. Where I feel the difference between organised religion and spirituality.
 
That's true, there are a lot of great churches. I guess it would be nice to see a few more.
 
There really are. The older cathedrals are the most beautiful.

But I don't mean just "see" them. You can feel them if you're doin it right ;)
 
Forgive grammar on obamaphone..

I traveled from one end of the country to the other then back and sadly im still not feeling it. I think i saw one of those big horned sheep or some kind of mountain goat outside Denver - that part of the country is beautiful! I learned a lot about mormans and methamp.

I am feeling better. Report back more when i have time. Hope everyone is healthy!
 
^ road trips are good man, sounds like an educational experience. Speaking of crystal. I saw that Jim Henson movie "The dark crystal" you had recommended it to me a while back. Good times. Was up my ally, you recommended me well.
 
Road trips are brilliant in so many ways. I can't decide if I like them more with company or without, though

Sometimes mine are a view at new places and self-reflection alone.

Other times, they are just a bunch of stupid fun with some friends, but still always experiencing and learning about things along the way
 
^^ Depends on the company for sure. But yeah, road trips are great. Very therapeutic. I love seeing the land slowly change.
 
Spent time at Catholic Mass and began to 'see' as if the layers of reality were being stripped away to show me the real picture, like what God wants us to see but we're tied up with problems of sorts. We don't take time to see the beauty of all... No wonder though. It's so elusive.
What I saw was like a delicate ribbon, a color just outside of normal human perception. It decorated the church in five dimensional degrees. But I only saw a strand, a bow [tie] holding everything together like a weave.
 
That sounds beautiful, IB.

I can definitely feel the energy of prayer much more powerfully these days. At first it's really subtle, almost imperceptible. Then it gets stronger and more physical. Then it gets to the point where you don't even need to start praying before you feel the energy move within you, like it gets pulled into you by an act of will.

I think free will is a big deal and if you use your free will repeatedly to get results in this direction you will start to see results. That won't mean anything to those who haven't used their free will like that, though.
 
I would have seen more, Ninae, if it weren't for my buddy who left not even 10 minutes after we had arrived there. 'didn't want him walking home in the cold so I followed him out the door to my car.

Good site.
 
Am I Feeling it?

Jesus H Christ I am!

Been in Krazy town for about 6 weeks now, or at least through my particular conscious perspective that appears to be the length of "time".

Crackin' on with it though.

Think we've pushed through now.

:)

Peace.

Keep an I out for my next Emanation.....
 
Care to eleborate, HypGnosis?

I'm certainly feeling God's presence more. It just seems to come through. And higher self guidance. I seem to get a lot of ideas and inspiration.
 
I will reply to this thread because it is the most current. In the enlightenment thread you mentioned J. Krishnamurti, he is like a zen stick to the head. Currently I have been listening to U.G. Krishnmaurti (no relation) he rather, is like smoking an exploding cigar in enlightenment.

I do not agree with everything he says but he has completely changed my perspective of enlightenment. I also love the irony the U.G. is a much more relaxed, polite person than J. Krishnamurti despite his very impolite message.

J.K always seems like he has a stick up his arse. While I respect his view of enlightenment and have learned much from him, he still has an ego in part from his childhood which included sexual abuse by the theosophist society this is little talked about, charles leadbeater would groom children to masturbate with.

U.G. is not perfect either but that is the point. He is trying to knock you off your game. "You don't get it" "love and tolerance is useless" "meditation is evil" "the here and now is an idiotic statement" etc, I'll try not to spoil it but he is pointing to the fact that these are all mere words and it takes direct experience.
 
That's interesting. Yes, there are so many to choose from, almost too many I think. But I think I need to familiarise myself with the classic teachers more before I try out anything like that.

Krishnamurti had a strong aura of pride about him. Wasn't he from an upper class background?

But, yea, he looked very spiritual.

Jiddu was supposedly from the Brahmin class. His father had a good job, but J had 5 other siblings. He was chosen to be the world teacher at a young age by the theosophists and was taught deeply about enlightenment, Hinduism, mysticism, etc. I deeply respect the fact that he dissolved the order of the star and told people to follow no group or teaching but I have heard criticisms that he was a compulsive liar and have seen evidence of this with my own eyes in his books. He claimed in one book to never have been taught anything about eastern teachings which is very much a lie.

U.G. on the other hand had his parents die at birth and then was raised as an only child by his very educated rich lawyer grandparents. He sought out all mystical teachings and spent decades practicing all sorts of enlightenment practices. He even studies under J for 7 years before deciding that J was a useless teacher who could teach him nothing and moved on. He willingly gave up on a wife and children as the Buddha did before he experienced his "calamity" and "natural way" (his terms for enlightenment which he says has nothing to do with his practice and studying, in fact he goes beyond J in saying he does not want followers he is an anti-guru whose own views he calls stupid and worthless )
 
Aah..I always imagined he was from a Brahmin family. He's like the stereotype of someone from that background. But I think I prefer Yogananda to Krishnamurti. He has a good tone to him and is really on point.

The Theosophical movement is well shady. Krishnamurti seemed kind of broken in old age, though.
