Yikes, that video is gone already!  I guess lascaris hit some nail on the head.

Escalation is off the scale. I wonder when terrorism is war? I mean legally.

I’ll say a few things.

Spiritual or consciousness development is a lonely path. It is also an individual path. Finding a fellow ‘walker’ on that path is wonderful but does not last forever. You meet, you share and you walk on, and sometimes you make a friend that experiences in that moment similar to you.

Everyone of us still have questions, sometimes burning questions, and sometimes those that we’ve learned to live with. They are there and for myself it is sometimes a joke .. God/Universe knows where I am and if I am to get a direction on a question, well, I am here. That part is a part of faith, but can also be a copout part.

Concepts such as consciousness, soul, and such, are but our descriptions of how we are on our path. They are also individual and I dare say each one here has a different concept or a different experience. Dimi explained about sound and color. Mine, my sigil, my sign to pay attention for example, is a number. These methodologies exist because individually one finds a sensical way to communicate with a designer universe (if there is a designer universe – this is a personal view of the big scheme of things).

So, there are basically three people talking here, and I, in a minimal manner, as I know this is a lonely path but I also know I get hints or someone may use a word that resonates or there is something.

So, we are using words (soul, universe, consciousness, and ….) that we only understand personally. They may not be what the other person understands.

We are using a scheme of understanding that is personal. Our own scheme is not necessarily the same for everyone, although the forms of understanding, the way of mining universal hints, can be developed.

A personal wordset or dictionary, a personal scheme of ‘getting it’, resonance in different ways for different people, a personal education that may or may not make sense today, different areas and experiences on ‘the path’ — discussion becomes very difficult as we’re dealing with an erstwhile ‘Tower of Babble‘ – yes, spelling error is by design. The adult person will take on a massive personal responsibility toward self and other if these issues are even to be approached.

So let me try and quickly make this practical. I suggested a book that for me held many aha! moments. I do not intend to teach this, although I know it fairly well, I am only intending to clarify my own thoughts at this time again because sure as God made Little Green Apples, it will flow and change. I will write it down, as I know the material. If someone gets something out of that, it does not mean that I am right, or someone else is right.

It only means that for one fleeting second, we met one another on our paths and experienced a moment of clarity and consciousness with the same dictionary underlying our understanding. Those moments are precious.

And for heaven’s sake, have some fun! Let me tell you an old African joke. How do you know that God has a sense of humor?

Evidently he made a baboon!

I’m writing a piece now about that emersonreturn .. about all of the interoceanic waterways and railway systems – kinda like Pepe’s pipelanistan. Should be done still today. I have the history of the proposed Nica waterway in there as well.

“Paraguay opens Israeli embassy in Jerusalem after moving it from Tel Aviv”

Paraguay has been a poodle forever but too small and hopeless to be of any account.
