I've been reading quite a bit here and you all seem so friendly.
As for scepticism... maybe we should do a poll one of these days on how many people here started out that way. Probably most of us!
Well, there are a few personality clashes round here, but we're trying to sweep them all into a corner so they don't get in the way of the readings.
Anyway... no, something is definitely not on track about this research. Could it be that there is something more you need to be doing about the issue? Is there a position you need to take less detached than 'researcher'?
As for scepticism... maybe we should do a poll one of these days on how many people here started out that way. Probably most of us!
And so I'm wondering ... if my researching into the "unexplained" and this sort of hypothesis I came to as a result - is the reading saying stop seeking the answers to the experience itself or is it saying the experience(s) itself was false or that the hypothesis that I've made about these experiences is false/in the wrong direction. And finally, does any of the reading suggest something to do with duplicity or manipulation?
Side comment: I did read up on the various commentaries in "Open..." as suggested by some of the posters, and you are right. Lots of bad vibes. To bad *sigh*. You'd think that even when discussing issues like peace, self-improvement and love of ourselves and our neighbors, you could find human beings with the ability to have a civil exchange/discourse without insisting on the whole, "I"M RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT" and "You're WRONG WRONG WRONG" and NOTHING you SAY will CHANGE me (mostly because I stopped _hearing_ and _listening_ a long while back).
I find it ironic (pardon my personal commentary as an outside observer and take it for whatever its worth in that context) that lovely people will often debate the cruelties exacted on others - like discussing the horrors of war - without realizing that such wars, start as soon as we stop listening and start insisting OUR way is the ONLY way. I remain cynical and fairly certain our own inability to still our personal feelings/passions and/or temper them with the balance of logic and and an open mind will be the end of humanity in total in the not-too-distant future.
That last part may be true, but you could not be more wrong about the smack-talk !!
People might laugh and say, "So what if a bunch of people online are arguing over some spiritual stuff" - but murders, torture and war have been the result of far more trivial issues starting with a seemingly simple disagreement or opposition of opinion and until we can all learn to balance our passions with our minds and our spirits - we will remain violent, barbaric animals ultimately. But then, maybe that's as nature intended it? *shrug* (To be fair: I certainly struggle with my own issues in this area as well)
No, I don't think it's saying either of those things. (What is a 'false experience'? False interpretation of experience, yes, but how could you have a false experience?)And so I'm wondering ... if my researching into the "unexplained" and this sort of hypothesis I came to as a result - is the reading saying stop seeking the answers to the experience itself or is it saying the experience(s) itself was false
Maybe... or could it be that being centred in the experience itself is more important than pursuing the hypothesis?or that the hypothesis that I've made about these experiences is false/in the wrong direction.
Not that I can see.And finally, does any of the reading suggest something to do with duplicity or manipulation?
No, its not saying the experience is false at all but the "unexplained" is a minefield for the beginner as you have so many opposing views and ideas, from the sensible to the plain idiotic. It takes careful thought not to be led astray by the bright lights of utter nonsense. The "unexplained" is real but your answer is warning you not to get carried away with every theory, idea etc on the internet, just because Hoagland and Lear say that there are buildings on the Moon and Mars, does that make it true?
When you read up on these subjects let your brain kick in and see/analyze if some of them are potentially true or not, of course some will be true but a lot of what passes for the "truth" on the internet is nonsense.
Your answer seems to suggest that you were racing full tilt into the exotic and false, stop and consider what you have read to date, then cast out the rubbish and narrow it down to the plausible.
You wouldn't think 'you all seem so friendly' could be such a contentious remark, would you?
