And obviously God prefers to keep knowledge unconscious... In particular the knowledge that I myself am a miracle of God... Or is he really keeping it unconscious?! Well........God has made us self-developing organisms. We are essentially seeds. A "seed" is "unconscious" while it remains a seed, but a seed is made to cease to be a seed. In ceasing to be a seed, it germinates and grows into the plant it was designed to be. But most of us (maybe not those here) are content to remain seeds, we'd rather not-die. We can choose to stay a seed (remain unconscious) or try to awaken, germinate the kernel within. sdp God didn't make self developing organisms. This IS God, right here, posting on this here forum. Most folks find it too big a leap to collapse all that imaginary space between the imaginary 'you' and the imaginary God.

Greetings.. Yes, it's part of what I refer to as 'noticing', and there isn't something that needs to be done with it. No practices, techniques, methods, paths, turning away, stopping momentum, controlling thoughts. Just notice, and let the noticing take care of the rest. If you understood that, you wouldn't need to fit what is noticed to your definition of 'oneness'.. the noticing is sufficient, it informs us of what is.. Be well.. It is sufficient, but noticing doesn't mean noticing your ideas and beliefs about your experience.

It is sufficient, but noticing doesn't mean noticing your ideas and beliefs about your experience. Precisely.. 'oneness' is an idea/belief about 'your' experience.. others have different ideas/beliefs about their experiences, so.. if we let go of the ideas/beliefs, we will be sharing the common experience rather than conflicting over ideas/beliefs.. Be well..

rising this morning and going into the kitchen to attend a pile of dishes from the girls munchies of late last-night,singing to my self I put the kettle-on oblivious to mindfulness and carried through to make my wife tea instead of coffee. Being busy at the sink soapingnsinging the dishes without thought, just watching... it never dawned upon me that what had been accepted as the norm,had been ascended-from and I gave her abscent mindedly tea instead of coffee,after years of the usual-conditioning. Her nose twitched first,she takes another sip,an another then she withdrew her lips from the mug and began sucking and tasting the remaining contents inside her mouth. Confused, she stands right-in-my-face and asks, "is this tea or coffee?" her taste-buds setting her conditioned mind in disarray. Little things show us the way! Now that's funny......but absolutely true. Neuroscientists today tell us that all the senses combine to influence each other, plus what the mind expects. Very interesting TV program on either Discovery channel or the Science...or maybe NGEO, Brain Games, a must see. One episode, the color of the drink changes what we taste. Yellow tastes like lemon even when it isn't. ..........You accidentally performed a scientific experiment...... '-) ...... sdp. thank you sdp. I thought it was interesting too and we(she-n-I) both chuckled over it heaps! "What the mind expects" sure... that centre seems to be giving-up the ghost-gracefully. in the mean-time, www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbiPDSxFgd8keep dancing.

we can arise in our mind into higher states of conciousness or drop-out of the same-mind through a hole at its bottom, where the light arises up-through, enlivening our minds without the need of chemicals or a/the reason to be happy.
Life is a mystery.

we can arise in the mind into higher states of conciousness or fall out of the same-mind through a hole in its bottom, where the light shines-up through, enlivening that same-mind without the need of chemicals or a reason to be happy. Life is a mystery. Or.... Life is simply what you make of it.

in living, life showers the earth with its own special brand of fertilizer that every-one has tucked-away for a rainy day.
Life is infectious.
