So, I am an empath.

So what is the grand folly in that statement, I'm a bit stoned

 

Yeah well, I've had those thoughts. I agree. But you know, I don't know if any amount of meditation can really prepare us for a dose of real life...seems like the only preparation for real life is real life. It's easy to find wholeness in the silence of your temple, but when somebody's pissing on you with their eyes, it's a different story.

 

What do you mean, "nail," you biter?

 

You want to gouge out your eyes for a pissin prollem.

 

I need to go do some work...

 

Meditation brings you into real life by reconnecting you with the present moment, undiluted of past, prejudice, and future whims.

 

No, I'll just take my hand off my member. For now.

 

Ah, so. Practice makes perfect, I guess. Okay I'll buy that.

 

There is nothing to buy in that statement, when understood it gives.

 

What is this thread about?

 

Somehow it became about zengizmo, lol. Advice session.

 

oh

 

He was mistaken, it is about us.

 

Good call, I see what you mean. Life one-o-one lol

 

Come on drew, get with the program here. If you can't contribute to the discussion, just don't post.

 

Don't get a big head.

 

So here is the jist of my meditation this morning.

My spirit guide Deanna always tells me in my mind, "Don't piss yourself off." So I'm thinking it's like dope is saying: The less I complain, the less I'll have to complain about.

However I'm remembering a couple times...one time in particular when I was throwing a mental tantrum and giving Deanna hell in my mind...and she finally appeared to break, and said in a harsh, hateful tone, "Oh fuck you." In point of fact, to all appearances she had pissed herself off.

She didn't lose any of her psychic powers when she did that. She did the very thing she keeps telling me I shouldn't do. So naturally my question is: Is it just bullshit when she tells me not to piss myself off? I could understand if she, being human, slipped once or twice. But if that's what happened, why did it not affect her spirit guide role and abilities?

So this leads me to wonder: Is it possible that God just arbitrarily decides that a person has had enough bullshit, and it's time to grant a deeper vision?

Or I wonder: Is it just that some of us have some kind of subconscious belief that we need to pay a price for deeper vision - via harsh experiences or long years of meditation or self-sacrifice or whatever - and therefore that belief manifests as our reality?

I'm just trying to find an explanation for my experiences that is completely consistent.

That's the scientific method, ain't it?

Cuz if my explanation isn't consistent with any particular experience, I need to change my explanation until it becomes a solid vision I can believe in and follow.

 

Because of the curvature of space, adjustments must be made to stay on course.

 

That's a perfect non-explanation, dope. Of course, as Deanna once told me in an e-mail, "Logic has nothing to do with anything."

If by staying on course you mean ceasing to piss myself off, then yes, could be.

 

Let's put it this way. There are 7 notes in an octave. do re mi fa so la ti. The distance between do and re is equal. The distance between re and mi is equal to the distance between do and re. These are called whole steps. The between mi and fa is not equal to the distance between do and re, it is called a half step.
Continuing on the distance between fa and so is another whole step, being equal to the distance between do and re. So to la, another whole step, la to ti another, and then the jump to the next octave,ti to do, is another half step. these half steps put a kink in our otherwise level trajectory and we require outside "shocks" in order to smooth out that gap. If these shocks do not occur we end up simply going in circles, i.e. the chain of birth and death.
