    Our beautiful planet appears to be hanging in some balance between good and evil, survival and destruction, like some lost child waiting to be rescued.

    Hi jag

    All i can say to you right now is let ''your conscience'' be your guide.

    Allow the universal will to flow through you and as you.
    -- then all will be well.
    As the universal law is constant. It is already set in stone.(manifested)

    -the mind(relative consciousness) can garble, translate, distort, interpret reality any way it chooses...(free will) a gift.

    However, there is only one absolute divine consciousness--Let this divine will be done --and not your own(ego)

    From my perspective, it is all of mankind that hangs in the balance.

    We are the lost children, caught in the balance between good and evil, survival and destruction.

    We cannot wait for rescue.

    We must seek the light, one by one.

    No matter we leave it in tatters, the planet will survive and revive over time.

    Suspect that this is one of the great tests of our species. A failing grade has consequences, and perhaps the planet would fare better without us, under the management of the ants maybe ....

    So many paths to the same destination,
    would, but I could, experience them all...

    That's much the same view as I have.

    Re: Truth is Timeless

    Hi Melanie,

    Thank you for the links! Gives me something to look at for a while.

    Aleister Crowleys encounter with Aiwass is very interesting to me. I doubt he was schizophrenic so it begs the question-are there "Higher Self" beings or "Messengers" here among us? Maybe they can exist in bodies like ours, born into this life or maybe they can just appear out of the ether which would mean they are hear with us but invisible, just ubserving us and once in a while maybe they throw us a biscuit.

    Hi Labelwench and SteveA,

    We`must either wait for rescue or pull ourselves together and find our own way back home.

    One by one is not going to get it done.

    I didn't mean that we could actually destroy the whole planet but it seems possible that we could detonate the atmosphere if we set off enough nukes at the same time.

    One by one should work just fine as that's still potentially everyone.

    If people wait for everyone else, then it will likely be noone.

    Democracies don't do trailblazing (despite the political propoganda) and only individuals can really decide what's important or not.

    The most difficult part historically is over how people or individuals can build themselves a private paradise and keep it from being pillaged. I think the expression "Good fences make good neighbors" can be applicable, but there are usually gray areas (such as testing black hole generators ) where things aren't very simple (but if humanity got to a point where the only disputes were over subtle discrepancies along those gray areas, that's a "win" in my opinion)

Such realities of truth wedded to fact become concepts and merely relative cosmic realities.

    What happens to truth if our facts become clouded?

    should not truths though be based on fact in the first place ?

    yes

    Hi jag.

    'Schizophrenic' is an idea, an already known concept in consciousness.
    It's not real unless it is believed to be real...(free will)

    I AM a schizophrenic and so AM I

    THIS was never about the ''messenger''

    IT has always been about the 'message'-- YOU are THAT-- AS free conscious expression.

    What ever Y'our' thoughts will be -- 'will' appear become manifest.

    If the human race 'will' the self-destruction of life on planet earth--- It is only the ''ONE SAME SELF'' destroying life on planet earth as and through 'US'

    The choice is Y 'ours' --(free will)

    Scary though huh?

    What 'we' gonna do about that? ----- food for thought!

    Awareness is the key--- awareness is who we are, ultimately awareness looks on in detachment.

    = ZERO <<<<<<< (even more food for thought

    Hi thinking,

    It is fact that the Tree exists but the Truth is The Tree.

    All of the Facts about the Tree just describe the Truth.

    We did not create the Tree with or facts.

    Hi SteveA,


    The Pipe



    "You are about to begin an adventure of the
    People, the Plains Indian People. You probably
    have known of these People only by their
    whiteman names, as the Cheyenne, the Crow
    and the Sioux. Here you will learn to know of
    them as they were truly known among the
    People, as the Painted Arrow, the Little Black
    Eagle, and the Brother People.

    The story of these People has at its center and
    all around it the story of the Medicine Wheel.
    The Medicine Wheel is the very Way of Life of
    the People. It is an understanding of the Uni-
    verse. It is the Way given to the Peace Chiefs,
    our Teachers, and by them to us. The Medicine
    Wheel is everything of the People.

    The Medicine Wheel is the Living Flame of
    the Lodges, and the Great Shield of Truth
    written in the Sign of the Water. It is the Heart
    and Mind. It is the Song of the Earth. It is the
    Star-Fire and the Painted Drum seen only in the
    Eyes of Children. It is the Red Pipe of the
    Buffalo Gift smoked in the Sacred Mountains,
    and it is the Four Arrows of the People's Lodge.
    It is our Sun Dance.

    The Medicine Wheel Way begins with the
    Touching of our Brothers and Sisters. Next it
    speaks to us of the Touching of the world
    around us, the animals, trees, grasses, and all
    other living things. Finally it Teaches us to Sing
    the Song of the World, and in this Way to
    become Whole People.

    Come sit with me, and let us smoke the Pipe
    of Peace in understanding. Let us Touch. Let
    us, each to the other, be a Gift as is the Buffalo.
    Let us be Meat to Nourish each other, that we
    all may Grow. Sit here with me, each of you as
    you are in your own Perceiving of yourself, as
    Mouse, Wolf, Coyote, Weasel, Fox, or Prairie
    Bird. Let me See through your Eyes. Let us
    Teach each other here in this Great Lodge of the
    People, this Sun Dance, of each of the Ways on
    this Great Medicine Wheel, our Earth."
