• Individual and community, both (from “Life More Abundantly”)

    Wednesday, September 4, 2019 As you experience your community nature, you may find it invigorating and liberating, or scary and in fact terrifying. So let’s spell it out once more, for the benefit of those who came in halfway through the movie. The key to everything is “As above, so below,” for reality is made…

  • Yardsticks and choice (from “Life More Abundantly”)

    Thursday, September 5, 2019 Nobody can kick you into working if you don’t want to. It’s in what you want. I know. Although, that always reverts to Which you? For you, it does. For another, maybe not, for there might be no conflict. For yet another, paralysis because the conflict might be beyond resolution. Here…

  • The underlying meaning (from “Life More Abundantly”)

    Friday, September 6, 2019 Reading about Hemingway’s (and the Spanish people’s) attitude toward life and death again makes me wonder, it seems so out of proportion. You live, you die, so what? Why is something which is universal treated as if it were something to be dreaded, or ignored, or enshrined? It doesn’t make sense…

  • Hyperbaric chamber (from “Life More Abundantly”)

    Saturday, September 7, 2019 Yesterday’s wonderful conversation demonstrates what you said so many years ago, how we in 3D live our life in time-slices. After I gradually changed, I forgot how I had been, so entirely that I was puzzled how people could be the way I myself had been! As we said then, the…

  • Mind and body: Assumptions and interactions (from “Life More Abundantly”)

    Monday, September 9, 2019 Paul Brunton sensed and deduced that experience of the world (that is, of reality) can only come via the mind, hence the mind is the ultimate. He was careful not to dismiss the world as only an illusion, and not to take its independent existence for granted. He balanced. Well, now…

  • Whirlpools (from “Life More Abundantly”)

    Tuesday, September 10, 2019 Shall we continue? Maybe. You understand, the subject is complicated. Not only is the viewpoint unfamiliar to you, there are many unsuspected and half-suspected ideas in what they call your subconscious or unconscious mind that will tend to interfere with reception. My jumping to conclusions, you mean? In a way. That’s…

  • Testing the spirits: Why (from “Life More Abundantly”

    Wednesday, September 11, 2019 Guys? Anything today, or do we take a day off? You can always take a day off merely by not showing up, and sometimes that’s appropriate. And you, on your end? What are the variables? On our end nothing, because we are not constricted by time-slices. If we cannot work “now,”…

  • Chaos into order (from “Life More Abundantly”)

    Friday, September 13, 2019 I have been reading, watching Netflix, and of course thinking of things I’ve read over the years. And it all makes you feel, as you do so often, that you are living in a lunatic asylum. I feel like I am living in a world structured on behalf of fools, psychopaths,…

  • Why Goodness and Badness (from “Life More Abundantly”)

    Saturday, September 14, 2019 When I watch shows with particularly evil or arrogant villains, my response to them is (as the writers have intended) “Kill them; they have no place in the world.” It would be useless, of course: New villains spring up all the time. Worse than useless, because you become like the worst…

  • Evil in context (from “Life More Abundantly”)

    Monday, September 16, 2019 On so many subjects, you must remember that context is everything. Look at something while forgetting what you have learned, and you cannot possibly see with greater perception. But bring these new (seemingly unrelated) perceptions to the subject, and maze may become penetrable. So, here. The problem of evil. Every religion…
