Interesting video

These are interesting but of what use do they serve without discussion? I also found Advalta.org to be intertesting though I only viewed Ramesh on consciousaness/awarness but again unless discussed or studied or put in action or to use what might it be?

Hi Doug, it need not be neccesary that it be discussed or put into action always,but it may mould the mind in the direction needed or may bring about change in attitude.not acting or acting upon it sometimes be left to themselves or nature.i feel more than discussing sharing resources wud really help, its better to argue with oneself than discussing it many,this works faster to me than latter.a picture or video can be worth a thousand words.

Hrishi, I do not disagree with anything that you say though the video that I viewed seemed to be in a format where discussion might have taken place. Yet if the producer of the video or pictures took the no action approach would there be any videos or pictures to begin with? Now I am but wondering as it seems I wish for a space which is more selfless but I am strange so you may wish to just pay me no mind.

At any given moment, life is completely senseless. But viewed over a period, it seems to reveal itself as an organism existing in time, having a purpose, trending in a certain direction.
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

So Hrishi, is Huxley saying that viewed in a moment, life is an illusion and seems senseless? Is that a moment in human time or perhaps cosmic time for if it was cosmic would moment be a lifetime? Then if one understands that life in a moment may appear senseless does one then ignor the illusion of senselessness and begin to work for purpose in the trending direction? Just thoughts that come to mind when reading the quote from Huxley.

[QUOTE=hrishi;18799]At any given moment, life is completely senseless. But viewed over a period, it seems to reveal itself as an organism existing in time, having a purpose, trending in a certain direction.
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

Well Hrishi, thank you for your reply and i trust you are doing well. I think I understand what you are saying and do not disagree with it though I do see it in a different light sort of.

Looking at any piece of any whole and that piece may make no sense or be senseless. That can be any moment of an individual life or any moment of the life of the whole of humanity as in evolution. In that sense war is senseless but looking at humanity as a whole war may then take on meaning. Here I do not mean that war is in any way desirable only that it does bring about change and in many cases change that is needed. The civil war in this country brought about the end of slavery though the cost was heavy in blood. This also seems to be a point where civilized man decided that slavery would no longer be accepted though it still remains hidden in the world today in some form or the other it is not accepted as it once was. Here I am simply trying to point out that what seems senseless at one point of observation may not seem so senseless at another point of observation.

To these eyes Huxley may well be looking at evolution in a spiritual sense as it seems to be a guided growth of this thing called life through this thing called time. Evolution seems to be a slow moving process left to its own devices. Here I would be so bold as to suggest that this process can be sped up and what you wrote about the individual in relationship to heart, higher life, higher meaning, and higher purpose are the beginning of speeding up this process of evolution from a individual stand point.

I use labels such as not self and true self thinking in terms of learning what I am not in order to become what I truly am though to these eyes you said about the same thing using different labels. It seems I have to experience what I am not in order to find what I am which may well sound strange but never the less is how things have worked in this incarnation.

Now when Huxley says " organism existing in time, having a purpose, trending in a certain direction. " it seems to these eyes that he is talking about humanity as a whole as well as the individual. This leads me to thoughts of individual and collective consciousness. Group consciousness on any level beyond the individual and how that may be affected by each individual in any group as well as the group as a whole. This becomes very complicated when you consider we here speak of towns, cities, states, countries and groups of countries then the sub groups of these groups which may well cross the boundaries of the more conventional groups I listed above. Take IS for example where there are no physical boundaries only an exchange of ideas or mental energy. This being possible only since this thing called cyber space came into being. It has blown away conventional boundaries in most places though there still exists those places where governments have placed restriction on the exchange of ideas or mental energy. Here China leads the way but you can bet others will try and follow. So is the trend toward more or less freedom? So called time will tell this tale but telepathy will play a future role. That , of course, is speculation on my part.

Anyway I here ramble well off course which is one of my many faults. Though I do wonder,not being indigo, what is indigo all about. I mean all those sites that define indigo are so broad that about anyone would fit into their definition of indigo even I and I can assure you I am not indigo, crystal, star seed, walk in or any of that other stuff that is so sacred to so many. Oh well, perhaps it is that I just want to fit and do not do so. Much love and light to all things in all places.

oh, nice cat though I do wonder why it got where it got when it got there.

i am not able to open up the topics my self due to my own restrictions and have problems communicating. i have load full of ideas about life that can really make u think in amaze and wonder.may be its not the right time.

I know exactly what you mean hrishi, I see it too. The wrapping paper is still on the present and what a surprise it will be when we get to truely open it. We are all destined for different things, yet share a common future. Different, yet the same, this recurring theme echoes, indigo is the sameness, but the difference is in the aspect, like a facet of light from a diamond, how beautiful when seen together, or apart.

See you around brother.
