Hi, I'm Richard...: Elektra Fire... words and worlds

[Guest guest]

I think that words tell us a lot more than we realize. For example,

drunkeness is mostly referred to with colorful animal epithets and

references to bodily functions, while the cocaine user or pot-smoker

is getting " high " , and the psychedelics user is

" tripping-out " / " spaced-out " ... hypnotic subjects often refer to the

gradual inducement of trance as 'going down' and a common technique of

self-hypnosis is the visual aid of descending a cave, stairway etc.

exercises for AP/OOBE often involve sensation or visualization of

levitation or rising 'up' out of the body, etc... we could go on, and

actually I find it interesting how we associate these things - perhaps

others here have some thoughts in this direction?

 

personally I'm a student of Western esotericism, where psychic

phenomena are viewed as sub- or infra-conscious, however enthralling

or intriguing they might be in an experiential context. this will

necessarily bias my perspective.

being connected to " the internet " gives us no more and no less than

the ability to shovel energy down a pipeline or receive from it, but

the pipeline itself doesn't care what information it's conveying with

that energy, only that it doesn't overload itself by transmitting too

much too fast. words can be transmitted quite efficiently even across

a slow connection, while receiving images, or fullblown streaming

audio/video is quite taxing on even a fast connection.

you're of course free to disagree; I'm no longer looking for converts

to my philosophy nor infidels to convert to the One True Way :-)

I agree that psychic phenomena are 'different' than normal

consciousness but personally believe that yet-superior states exist,

but only potentially, whether in a human or in a cat.

yes, true, but words can often be mis enterpreted (or

more realistically, interpreted through a personal

filter) and can often lead to confusion in the correct

meaning. I do this alot I think, especially via the

internet as it is not spoken.

I have a pet frustration or " samskara " (is this

correct use of the word?) about miscommunication, It's

a pet hate. I think I live in China to help me get

over that one. It's like words get in the way

sometimes as they don't encompass enough.

I like dreams very much as they speak more in symbols,

this resonates alot with me.

 

But, that being said, I do enjoy learning about myself

and others via the use of words over the net.

 

Thankyou Brian as always,

Love and blessings Elektra miaow.....

ppprrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
