It's just an opinion.

Actually, since all of this is just a dream projected out of our own mind stuff, it's equally possible that we were never born.

That would be a surprise to my Mom I bet!

Nanner said, "What makes us so darn sure that we are not all deceased, and are being prepared to understand such?"

I have wondered the same thing myself, nan, more than once. All I know is that "someone" or "something" is causing me to "hurry up and slow down" in order to get the story straight, right now.

I've had a huge circular event rippling through all of my relationships in my life recently, and it has proved to me beyond any shadow of a doubt that what we thought was "dead and buried" is in NO WAY actually true.

I mean get in the now, get real, gimme the straight dope....that's what I'm talking about!

love, blink

What I mean, again, dear loveable Nanner, is that there are many many distractions from what is right in front of our faces....

Whether it's long lost love, or whether it is the emergence of a new world, it is all contained in the present moment, somewhere, if we can see it clearly enough.

I wish I could explain to you exactly how I have arrived at this thought, but that would be impossible.

love, blink

Thanks Alan my friend, I guess Peters site calls that which you call "programmed", he calls "consciousness level".. Thank goodness I`m not a frog, things move around me all the friggin time! (Zapp, my partner, zapp the bus, zaap the mailman, zapp the dog crossing the road).

But in all seriousness, who programmed "us" to not have a higher "sight" into these things, and why were we programmed like this? For what purpose that you know of?
Nanner

Who programed us? god, evolusion, the envirnment, cosmic rays, the earth mother, take your pick dear.

Love

Alan

hi Nanner, I went thru a phase backin 2003 beginning. I want to share with you as I know you won't get upset, as u have the same type of dreams.

everything I dreamed was coming true down to the last detail. which made me step outside of linear time constructs and I didn't like it one bit! I was feeling disoriented, not in charge of my own reality.
the dreams tapered down to maybe I get one a month now, and nothing major about the earth, just personal stuff, fine with me.

i figured out though that there's no sense in resisting all the changes life puts us through, which is resistance causes the discomfort when new information comes in. it feels like mini deaths when that happens, like a part of us is dying. we get so attached to our thought systems, I think because we made them, they are like our children we watched grow up, now they are leaving home.

I began to believe in a higher self. I called C1, which is consciousness level one, waking reality, I called this basically what TMI calls it. A place where limited activity of knowledge takes place, where I can gather the experience of having a life. here in C1, I can get married, have a baby, go shopping, eat, sleep, watch TV, fight with the neighbors, you know, all the ordinary activities we go through.
with the higher self however, i can get in touch only when meditating, or sleeping, or sometimes a good book will get me in contact with higher self, of which higher self basically knows all about what you need, and answers all questions.

thats what we mean when we say the answer is always within you, and I don't have your answers in me, but i can come here and appreciate you, and share what happened to me, and just talk, in that way we contribute to the general pot.

you're doing fine from my perspective, I wish you believed me! love ya! alysia

lol, I just read your opening statement. how do we know we are not already dead?

  you're the 3rd person to come here in recent years asking this most serious question. frankly, I can't answer that, but I can promise that one always gets what they need, even though you may not get what you want. at least not all the time.

love heals the separation. you are already perfected on another level, maybe thats all you need to know. it used to help me.
