Thank you for the report E.E., i found it interesting, especially the color vibrations you perceived and talked about.  Color has always been very fascinating to me, because so many of us see it basically in the same ways, it's very universal, and yet at the same time we may individually have somewhat different feelings or perceptions regarding them.

   It is kind of a real life illustration of the interesting Yin-Yang polarity that exists in Creation, and in the Creator, which gets really, really highlighted and polarized in this particular dimension.  The eternal and objective interplay of Oneness/The Whole/Stillness with individuality/the parts/activity.   But consider that the Whole may be greater than just the sum of its parts (speaking in general, not just to you or any one person).  (so if you add up/combine all the parts and it equals 9, then the Whole may equal say 10 for example).    This is something that Monroe proposed and implied, and other mystics from many different backgrounds and belief systems also seemed to have implied or directly said.

hi EE. you asked: Of course, it begged the question, what do I focus on if not something outside of me. How does one make the shift.

I don't know  I'm working on it too. the book by Leland, called Otherwhere, describes is adventures of "breaking thru, from one level of activity, to the next level, similar to Bruce's title of his book "Voyage Beyond all Doubt."

the title is self explanatory. the end of doubt. your question rephrased is "is the universe inside of me, or is the universe outside of me, or is location, time/space an absolute concept?

In other words, we are all asking the same questions "who are we, where are we, what are we."
the way I see it, when we get clear on all that, we'll be almost home, or maybe we already are home dreaming we are here.

I don't think while on the Earth, in physical we can find absolute truth which works for all excepting when we meditate on how PUL is a glue and is absolute in that sense.. we can find pieces of truth and we can come together and put it all on the table, see what is of value to us, in that sense.
see how I got away from the question?   does time/space/location/movement really exist...while traveling through dense matter it surely does exist.
here we must drive to a location to keep an appointment.
on the spirit side we drive an intention over to the appointment. we "think" and it is so.
spirit bodies are not obstructed by dense matter, so for them, space, location is not a concern. they move right through other fluid forms all the time. one thing for sure movement seems to be vibration, which also appears as an absolute truth, as well, we can form particles around us as spirit, of various sub planes, to produce a form.

I'm working on it. I've picked up some rather intense studies right now, it feels good!
I WANNA BE A SCIENTIST MYSTIC! lol. scuse my outburst.

back to my ramblings..here, we place our dense bodies into the car, drive to the appointment, get impatient when a red light stops us, because we might be late, but we are at least moving in the direction of the objective..very...slooooowwwly...

we are humans who used to be spirits and now our vibrations have slowed down to allow us to participate in the Earth plane as this matter being.
we forgot everything we ever learned on the spirit plane, just so we could be "new" here.

now vibrations the world over are speeding up. even the Earth is spinning faster, not to speak of my chakras..time goes by faster now as we are caught up in the increase..we are in for the ride of our lives...I'm glad to be here with you and since I'll probably never return to this century time zone, I'm going to savor every moment with friends like you, who help me think.

love, alysia

my brain is being tickled here
