Okay, but have you had them verified by at least 2 sources :-)? And if so, are these source proven non-dualists? Linda /join All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 Could someone please explain, what on earth is a "nondualist?" <grin>. It seems like the silliest term i've ever heard :-). If in fact there was something or 'someone' separate from "the rest of Reality," wouldn't that make it *dualistic* any way you look at it? :-) Cheers, Omkara , "LC" <jyotish@w...> wrote: > Okay, but have you had them verified by at least 2 sources :-)? > And if so, are these source proven non-dualists? > Linda > > > Sponsor > > > > /join > > > > > > All paths go somewhere.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 hey, i think we have a Thread! Laugh! If pastlifetimes isn't a Thread, (sometimes tangled) what is? My best past life remembrance was as a temple supplicant to Aphrodite or was that Vesta, Anyway, when no longer young enough to be a vestal virgin I got tossed and died a vestal virgin as a begger with leprosy <eg> Isn't that always the way! Boobs drop, bum drops And yer dropped. I was Isis for awhile until I discovered that there were at least 364785960 of us. What a life, I asked God if I could go enjoy sex, drugs and rock n roll he said sure and I got time in Hell, it was great! There was one lifetime spent quietly, As opium smoker In a little hut, Just me, dreams and pipe, It was heaven... For awhile. Just imagine! All those billions of Life times.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 According to the sages (and evidence garnered from "past life regression hypnosis") what ostensibly "gets reborn," if anything? The desire to be [embodied] is 'reborn', along with a bundle of witnessed memory-events, like a videotape... just a single desire (for embodiment) and a record of events 'enclosing itself' in apparent form. Nothing 'personal' :-). Namaste, Omkara , "Joyce Short" <insight@s...> wrote: > hey, i think we have a Thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 Hi Tim: Does desire to be reborn also have the desire to return to source. Is every day of life numbered? Why would some one have the desire to incarnate as a miserable seeker? :-)) Peace, Michael Omkara wrote: > > According to the sages (and evidence garnered from "past life > regression hypnosis") what ostensibly "gets reborn," if anything? > > The desire to be [embodied] is 'reborn', along with a bundle of > witnessed memory-events, like a videotape... just a single desire > (for embodiment) and a record of events 'enclosing itself' in > apparent form. > > Nothing 'personal' :-). > > Namaste, > > Omkara > > , "Joyce Short" <insight@s...> wrote: > > hey, i think we have a Thread! > > > Sponsor [Click for Details] Click for Details > > /join > > > > > > All paths go somewhere.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 Hi Omkara, You asked (in part) > Could someone please explain, what on earth is a "nondualist?" <grin>. > > It seems like the silliest term i've ever heard :-) ---- And I see you grinning - and yet, it prompted a response from 'me' so here goes... Basically I agree with Tony on this one - a nondualist is 'one' who practices 'nondualism'. (I am not accusing you of this because it is VERY clear in your posts that you have many problem with the word and do not 'identify' yourself as anything that can be defined as non-dual, separate, or anything else). It is simply that - this is what this word means. It also appears (to me) that 'you' have been able to see beyond the non-dual words because of the 'non-dual' words. It also appears (to me) that 'others' who explore " " through other 'isms' that involve 'unity' are able to see beyond the unity words because of the 'unity' words. And, I say the above so that I can say that I feel that there is something " " that is greater than the sum of the parts, which are non-duality and unity. " " includes and is beyond both. You, Dan and I (and I am sure others)have expressed discontent with all labels for good reason - they are not the thing - yet they can point beyond themselves - I feel that the limitation is not in the words but in 'me'. If 'I' truly give myself to any one of the wisdom traditions ......there is a 'Peace beyond all understanding - a non-dual-unity - " " Love, james , "Omkara" <coresite@h...> wrote: > > Could someone please explain, what on earth is a "nondualist?" <grin>. > > It seems like the silliest term i've ever heard :-).

Johnson" <michael@p...> wrote: > Hi Tim: > > Does desire to be reborn also have the desire to return to source. How on earth could a desire "have a desire for something else?" No, the desire to return to source is something else entirely. Call it a "counter-desire" to the "desire to be [embodied]" if you like. > Is every day of life numbered? i don't know. > Why would some one have the desire to incarnate as a > miserable seeker? :-)) The desire would only be to incarnate (the 'root desire'); that's all. Beyond that, there are plenty of books on reincarnation, if you're interested. Really, i was just presenting it as seen by the sages/scriptures and according to written accounts of "past life regression hypnosis." i just sort of made a synthesis of these and presented the whole thing as a hypothesis. i do not believe even in this birth. Namaste, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
