    — The Urn —

    From Heaven’s stars came our dust eterne,
    As time’s seas nurtured thee and thine in turn.
    From time, death, and dust we thus became,
    And by this, thus, and that we must return.

    kind regards michael.
    I concur with most of your theory. I have a problem with the "thought arising" part. it would seem that thought would be continuous. thoughts like energy are neither created or destroyed.

    Re: Interconnectedness are we One?

    The incessant one is the babbling brook, the psycho-babble that is relative consciousness's attendant, the crowing cock.
    A pure thought has no chance of coming to fuition [voice]when the fertile ground of the psyche is contaiminated thus or 'covered over with stones'.

    See 'the parable of the sower' to futher exemplify this concept.

    When Awareness[Latent Potential/Father/Unconsciousness], knows Sensation [Mother/ Nature Sub-consciousness/Co-Creator], Consciousness[thought/relative consciousness/aka the waking, conscious, life], is born.
    These three are a trinity synthesized [synergysistic-synergy] by Life, which pervades them all.

    In the gap 'between thoughts', the still and small voice can be heard...It is our higher Self speaking unto us, if we just go into it...

    Namaste`

    It would seem that the whole reason for existence is to
    make the connections,to see that there is no such a thing
    as "an unconnected unit" anywhere in this universe.

    Hi michael.

    Are we one? yes we are one, there is only one thing.
    Not ''things'' .....God/Creation has to be a verb.

    The ''things'' are only mirror images, reflections of this one thing, and these reflections come from the mind, projected outward.
    But they are not really outward, they are in and out simultaneously. '' One Image '' ( Imagination)
    The mind creates these images as reality appearing as seemingly separate things.
    When really they are flashes or frames of images in our conscious awareness of them slowed down in spacetime to create the illusion of a real reality.
    The illusion succeeds, as we can see from our surround.
    But the surround is not separate from us.
    It's an extension of our inner perception...(conceptual overlay)
    The world appears and yet nothing really happens because it's all an illusion.
    It is only Space and Time that stops everything from happening all at once in a flash.


    There is only ''one thing'' it is the canvas on which ''all things'' appear.
    That canvas or screen is 'God Consciousness' (A Verb)

    One of my favorite proofs of there being only ''one thing'' is that of.....
    Our very Being which is essentially Alone...Allone.
    Try the alone test...ask yourself a question, and wait for an answer.....where does the answer come from?
    Exactly...because even one thing cannot exist.

    So in the ''silence of being'' appears everything...or the eternal echoes of beingness.
    A completely whole, self-correcting, self-sustaining, self-fulfilling, perfect pure entity.
    Sin is an appearance in this, but it is instantly purified by non-identification with it.

    And even when you talk to your reflection, another seemingly so ''thing'' all you get is an echo, another proof of there only being ''one thing''

    All that exists in reality is non-local conscious imagination.
    within which this 'i' exists as an idea of itself.
    There is only ''GoD'' at all times, in all places, all at once.. One without a second.
    And that this god is ABSOLUTELY perfect in every shape color and form. AS_IT_IS
    How weird and very abstract is that? don't you agree michael.

    "To believe in one's dreams is to spend all of one's life asleep."

    Namaste mel.

    The ONE eternally AWAKE Dreamer dreams every dream character one at a time.
    Then manifests via vibration that whole dream of possibilities into BEING...Right NOW.

    As an infinite dream of possibilities endlessly unfolding within this complete conception.

    Re: Interconnectedness are we One?

    Dear Melanie,

    It seem we've been apart so lone, you and I and All;
    That I long for us all to be together again.
    Longing for unity, equality, or Oneness,
    for nature's truth which we surely are.
    It is nice to connect with you again,
    but truthfully I know we've never been apart.
    It just seems that way sometimes.
    Is it the same for you?

    Love

    it is only equal and the lion is one.

    That is exactly the same for me MJA

    And nice to see you here, even though you have never not been here.

    S/HE is full of surprises.

    Such spontaneous beautiful sentiments coming from you from out of nowhere.

    bows and blessings to you.
