Your words reflect my thoughts in these matters. It wasn't my intention in making it sound like something very exclusive. The devaloka is for everybody.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2000 Report Share Posted March 30, 2000 Hi Amanda, >What happens when you take all the costumes >and the make up off from the actor ? > >>This play might end. > >I do hope so. I'm tired of being a jester >stumbling around out there among the props >and getting >the occasional sand bag in the head. You sound a bit depressed... I was being facetious, but... You can always take a little vacation... get off-stage for a while and watch the action going on... (being the witness, they call it). Or switch your character... I'm sure you're not a jester all the time. ) Professional actors have fun, I think... they get to play all sorts of parts, even the kind of parts they would never take in real life. ) For one kind of vacation, you could try out a different character on the net. In a chat-room you can be anybody you want to be... with a different email address. If you don't like to feel that you're fooling someone, then don't... just say, "I'm trying on a new persona today. I hope you don't mind." Lots of people wouldn't mind at all... they'd think it was fun. )) >>To me it seems that I am the energy at the axis of all the bodies... or I >>am the focal point of consciousness... a moving point... > >That's a great perception and one I >agree with holeheartedly. Does that typo - "holeheartedly" - mean anything to you? I just point it out because very often when I do that, if I think about it, I can see that it's meaningful, usually a message from my guide. >That each person is a localized movable >field of consciousness in the large whole. > Yes, true. But I actually meant a focal _point_. Take the field of vision... there are so many things within my vision. Some things I see better with the peripheral vision, but it's not extremely sharp and clear. It's the clearest right at the focal point. Consciousness seems like that to me... most intense and vital right at the focal point. And I, the point, can move from one field to another... wherever I am is the focal point. If it's above the level of intellectual mind, I may not be conscious in an intellectual thinking way... and that's okay, that's not all of it... I don't want to be there all the time. You don't have to be intellectual, you don't have to be thinking to be conscious. That's only the third plane anyway... >>Teilhard de Chardin, who was a scientist as well as a Jesuit, said that all >>matter, every atom, has a two-fold nature... consciousness (or spirit) >>The consciousness of a small bit of matter is not the >>same, of course, as the consciousness in a more complex aggregate of matter >>and therefore of consciousness. >he had to >>invent some new words to say what he wanted to say. > > I can believe that. >An interesting combination, physicist and >Jesuit.

Since all is one... just being... it is obvious to me that there is conciousness even in matter that humans would qualify as unliving. I presume this is obvious to others?
