Yeah, tune in the full satellite, with all transponders on, Buck. Peak the spectrum analyzer. This channelized stuff is so (sorry) backwards. The full spectrum is available, any time, any place. To call any of this magic, or special, is to look through a keyhole, into the room of Reality. Just w

Back in November 2011, Robin posted this quote from the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. It seemed relevant to this conversation. As I recall, he discussed some of the ramifications with you sometime later in a long and fascinating conversation. 11/16/2011, #295624 "I find myself both as man

Thanks Doc, good reflection. My experience too. If anyone should want to see a sidhi in play like you're talking personified in this post I'd send them over to the Mother Divine church here in Fairfield. The mystic there reads or can interprets energy vectors of the Unified Field as a sidhi. Is

I agree - anyone does the same thing in response to pain, past or present - shuts down, or distracts away from it. Our defense can be so great, that an entire world view can be built around that which we want to avoid. Kind of an amazing psychological process, like the body's attempted adaptatio

I like a lot of this. Particularly the part about "taking out the garbage" and that "we are all ordinary" (the way I am defining ordinary." But, as usual, I do not understand what this (highlighted) means. *You* do seem to be here, attempting to express the reality you live. "Once the
