    In other words before I can access dimensions of "higher being", I must read your books?

    Why don't you educate me? All you do is make unsubstantiated claims which would be okay if you were somewhat subtle, but the fact is they insult the intelligence of quite ordinary people.

    I speak English. There is nothing you can tell me that I will not comprehend if you simply say it, in English.

    This is like saying if you loved me you wouldn't have to ask.
    You don't even debate with any measure of competence.
    If you knew you would tell me, the easiest way by far to shut me up.

    You speak in terms of higher or lower. Like I said, I know what the term dimension means. I ask what makes it "higher".

    I am not sandbagging or trying to be deceitful. I am asking simple questions which are legitimate because what you say contradicts known facts. Specifically terms like higher or lower, are subjective evaluations and do not describe any level of reality other than personal perspective.

    Soulman, she's not really interested in your definition of "higher" anything. She gets her rocks off by derailing others' threads with her pseudo guru routine. She's a semantic pedant with apparently strong exhibitionistic tendencies.

    Ignore her.

    When I invite you to dinner then maybe you will gain a greater grasp of what is so. We have already determined that you have arrived at your conclusions on the basis of insufficient information. I am male aged 53. Retired from commercial life, devoted to contemplation.
    It is the successful application of my efforts that find me in this position. Recognizing what is real lends to material security.

    And yes, as I've said already, I want to hear the answers, because as we teach we learn about what is inside of us. You are mistaken to think that I am hostile to soulman. What is real cannot be threatened, only our illusions are in jeopardy.

    I am not trying to sell books. What I have is freely offered. Minds join bodies only touch.

    You are hostile in the sense that it seems you are not asking sincere questions out of simple curiosity. Rather, you are demanding answers to questions you should already know, if you are truly devoted to a life of contemplation as you claim.

    While you may consider yourself sincere, what you are doing is really challenging me in a rather hostile manner -- to answer basic questions for those who are living a life contemplation.

    Here's a very simplistic answer:

    You and I and all other humans exist in the third dimension, the conscious material dimension. Lower forms of life live in lower dimensions, such as the plant, animal, cetacean, and mineral dimensions.

    When you meditate, you experience the fourth dimension, which is an intermediate spiritual step to the fifth and sixth dimensions, all higher dimensions of being. As you ascend dimensionally, you shed portions of your material body.

    You retain some of it in your transition to the fourth dimension, where your body is less dense and more energetic, and shed even more as you ascend higher.

    As you ascend spiritually, you are able to access higher realms of knowledge and experience. You should know this if you are truly a contemplative.

    Or maybe you just haven't gotten there yet. So if you were unaware of that information, it is important for you to learn all about the higher dimensions, because that's what we are here on Earth for: to ascend spiritually.

    You're saying again, if you love me you wouldn't have to ask.

    I am challenging you directly. Your truth should support you, not make you feel vulnerable. The question is basic and regards the reality we all share.
    See here is where succeeding argument breaks down. You say lower forms of life live in different dimensions. Life moves from the simple to the more complex. Simple does not mean lower or low. The mammalian brain rides on the back of the lizard brain. The fundamentals of life are the same for all life.

    When you meditate you experience the contents of your mind. When your biological body is no longer animated, it rots.

    And this you have gleaned from your many deaths and rebirths, or your capacity to easily slip between realms of imagination?

    If you know where you are, you should be able to see clearly where I am.

    Actually contemplation has shown me that specialness is the egos greatest defense against the truth.

    Specialness is an ego device, being identified in how something is superior or inferior to some other model. However when we go to classify the family to which a creature belongs, we identify the common denominators.

    It is said that the entire universe can be gleaned from a single grain of sand.

    Well, you have certainly shown your true colors here, Dope, exactly as LoneDeranger predicted you would. You aren't interested in what I have to offer, nor are you sincere in your questioning.

    I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and answered one of your questions, and you responded as predicted. You are just a disrupter, working to derail subjects which may threaten your world view.

    For that reason, I will no longer respond in any fashion to your self-serving rants. Adios, and good riddance.

    From the body of your original post, it is the fourth proposition that you say your books put forth;

    I provide remarkable spiritual tools to restore that spiritual nature, in Christian terms.

    And the definition of delusions of grandeur;

    overestimation of own importance: gross and false overestimation of personal worth, importance, powerfulness, or attractiveness

    Lil:

    The in-depth topics are: the nature of the soul, the aura, ghosts, apparitions, communication with the 'dead,' out-of-body experiences, remote viewing, telepathy, clairvoyance, reincarnation, near-death experiences, and channeling.

    These are the most deeply studied of the spiritual abilities, traits and experiences, and thus there are more substantive studies out there to define and explain each.

    In addition, there are more than 70 other spiritual experiences or abilities which are explained.

    Add: "Propensity towards posting vacuous, pseudo-guru psychobabble" and the dope has just defined himself.

    I'll be publishing a book detailing human attempts at explaining the ineffable. It will cover,among other topics, christian,islamic,the metaphisical,mystical beliefs,and important philosophical musings. Working title at this point="Another human knows and will explain the nature of existance to you and in order to understand it yourself,you must exchange some of your money for what I have written". (Titles somewhat clumsy, but I hope with enough devotees, I may be able to complete that kitchen re-model I've undertaken).

    I took this photo the day of my gran's funeral last year. It's easy to put a symmetric image together and make a face, but this image kind of came together without the intention of producing a face yet it did anyway, and I think it's a bit like my gran's old wrinkly face. It was taken by a castle near where she lived.

    Actually I speak of practical things and challenges that we all share. Like I say,
    I am not the one selling books. I not the one claiming special and essential knowledge.

    A wolf in sheep's clothing is anyone who promises salvation for a price.

    They pull the wool over your eyes and charge you for the privilege.

    Although McLeod didn't credit the source, the "Spirit Photography" item he posted above is taken from "Awakening The Soul: The Trilogy."

    The quoted item is one of the 70+ spiritual traits, abilities, or experiences which are briefly explained in Book One of the Trilogy.

    Thanks, Mac, for using it. However, your illustration doesn't qualify as spirit photography, since it is some clever photoshoppping. Good work!

    It's from the first page of this thread! It has already been referenced. What the hell am I presenting a seminar here or something?

    It's a mirror image of a digital photograph I took. There is no photoshopping or colour adjustment on it. That's how it came out.

    EDIT correction there was some minimal colour adjustment on it, this is it as it came out. I just added a bit of colour enhancement to make it stand out more. nothing wrong with that. It amounts to the same thing. The image of a face is still there.

    Won't quibble with you. It is what it is.

    Is that you wearing your kabuki alien mask at the bottom? Bizarro!

    Feel free to quibble. I wasn't necessarily trying to suggest that it falls exactly within any of the fragmentations of spiritual revelation detailed in your book, but from my own interpretation I think it is worthy of some speculation.

    If you think no more of it than to dismiss it so flippantly then that's up to you.

    Did it with an app from the iPhone called Alien booth. it only does 320x480 images so I added a few more things to it to try to make it look like transparent doors opening inside an alien space craft.

    There are moments/periods of time that I believe we live in "tampered-with times".
    Have any of you ever read about the Phoenix Experiment, the Montauk Project?
    What we consider are paranormal and metaphysical may be, in a way, measurable - or at least observable.

    What is the purpose of this thread Soulman, other than to plug your book?

    You plugged your book, and then when people start asking you questions regarding the material in it you just say "read the book"

    So what is the purpose of having a thread about the book?
