Guest guest Posted September 14, 1999 Report Share Posted September 14, 1999 Dear All: I am on a few different lists and am watching how people collect under certain umbrellas of "truth" the truth which they to at that moment in time. It's really incredibly interesting to watch and made me have a few random thoughts. Am observing how we draw to us that which we believe rings to us of *truth.* Like food, one draws steak, another tofu, another a strawberry. One reflects on the food, another the preparation, another the act of eating it. Thich Nhat Hanh has a meditation when you are in retreat with him, that you should chew 50 times and reflect on all of the food and all of the process and all of the life before swallowing each bite. I can assure you that after 50 chews there is no food left in your mouth. But, the interesting nature of the question is, how we draw our *truth* to us and then believe our "knowledge, experience, awareness, depth, shallowness, intuition, lower mind, higher mind, body, not-body, seeing the Vision(s), seeing the Energy(ies), not- seeing, experience of all and not-all, of one, of not one, of the Cosmic Sea or not Sea." So that wherever in my path I am at that moment, that is the *truth* which I have drawn to put my blessing on, or my canonization, catholicizing, or wholistically knowing the fractal of the hologram to be True. And, if all those around me which I've then drawn to me by the nature of the current level of energy agree with me, then I get to put a big "Aha" stamp on it of collective agreement of my selected set or "aha" because the experiences then drawn agree energetically at that current level whatever that might be, having by my energetic level drawn the correspondence weak or strong, loving of physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual to me. So, for example, a mandala drawn from Tibet which brought Buddhism to it quite a few hundred years after Buddhism began, has nevertheless, compared to the West, an ancient history. And, with respect to the building of beautiful sacred mandalas, and their being wiped away, too so that the directions, and deities and colors so on are an evocation and a sacred rite, and a person having a dream draws from the collective unconscious and has birthed a completely new mandala, which is valid? Which invests or divests, creates (catabolic) destroys (anabolic) energy? Perhaps then it is the nature of whether one is introverted or extroverted, does one share with all or with a few or with random abandon or with discretion? Or, the perspective with which one sees the perspective or sharing at all. In Physics there has been some tracking of theories and proof lately, such that someone comes up with a theory of a certain type of star and then voila that phenomenon appears to validate the theory. Did the theory arise out of desire and create the physical phenomenon? There is another theory now that E=mc3 (cubed) instead of E=mc2 (squared) being propounded by a Swedish physicist. Most of us don't have the mathematical skills to cope with the pages of neces- sary proof to validate or invalidate. Does it matter? Will the reality change to fit the equation or will an entirely new method of explora- tive inquiry result? Inquiry is always behind proponents of theory. Much easier to articulate knowledge and theory than to venture into the unknown and path a new method of inquiry. Here the silence calls, the path uncharted through a black velvet night, thank you all for sharing your thoughts, perhaps I will see you later, I started to say, perhaps not, but I have met too many dozens of people known online, so that intuition and energy works are real, so in saying ciao, which in Italian is to be of service, I send also highest love and light from the Divine. Ciao. The Rainbo fades from view. Rainbow Reflecting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan: The passing parade of "truths" a wind through the millenia -- each truth claiming a knower each knower claiming a truth as truth and fiction blur and the wind moves on...
