Hi, I'd like to add myself to the list of people who've just gone through 
a month of brillo-pad emotions......Really unpleasant.
 
One the bright side, I seem to have made a decisive shift out of that state 
on Tuesday.  Like storm clouds suddenly parting.......Let's hope it's not  
just the eye of the hurricane. :-O
 
Anyone else notice a shift out of this very recently?????????

Yes, I did. November was a terrible month for me. I didn't really have an 
reason to attribute it to anything other than some very real upheavals in 
my own life. BUT, yes, Tuesday I felt decisively better, really noticeably 
so. Again, circumstances in my life would account for that, but still, it 
is interesting to see synchronicities with other people.

I wish I could give a good prescription for dealing 
with depression/despair - for me the only thing that 
has worked in the past is prayer and patience, with 
the conviction that God is teaching me something 
even in the midst of despair and there is a light at  
the end of the tunnel, even if I can't see it now. He 
has always pulled me through (though I have often 
wished He wouldn't take so long). If prayer has a 
place in your belief system, then I would encourage 
you to start there.
 
A friend of mine used to sit and observe his feelings  
of despair as if he was a scientist studying a set of 
lab specimens - he claimed it removed their power 
over him. I've never been able to detach that far (and 
I'm not totally sure I want to), but if the feelings are 
overwhelming it might be worth a try. I've heard of 
specific meditations for that but can't remember 
any of them offhand.
 
For me, while I have been feeling a bit depressed 
this past month, I've just chalked it up to business 
travel taking me away from my family for most of the 
month. It disappears when we get back together  
(something about a giggling 3-year old climbing on 
your back that chases depression away :-).
 
Actually, this last week has been encouraging for 
me as I've been reawakening my spiritual "mystic" 
side - with the side effects that the street lights are 
blinking at me again, my computer crashed, and my 
dreams are blending into my waking reality in the 
morning. I have noticed today, though, that if I can 
cultivate a feeling of calm detachment during my 
work I can avoid the computer problems - those of 
you who also struggle with computers crashing all 
around you might give it a try. I'm a bit erratic at 
cultivating it so I can't really give a good "method" 
for getting there. Also, it tires me out a little more 
quickly - I feel as if part of the detachment is some 
kind of "pulling in" of the aura or a subtle body or 
whatever - so it would probably be hard to keep up 
during long workdays. Which, unfortunately, are 
what I'll be having for the next two months <sigh>. 
If I get consistent at it I'll try to be more specific 
about what I'm doing - if I can actually figure out 
what I'm doing, that is :-).

Life's been good, energy's up, connections are on the mark, relationships in 
synch. The only thing going kafluey is exterior things...car accident, 
computers at work that won't, etc.  My health is really good. Flus that have 
taken other people weeks to get over lasted a day and a half in me.  All's 
well.  Thanks for asking.

Dear Mindless Christians:
 
    Here's a quote for all those who blindly follow CORRUPT church doctrine.
 
What does the Bible say about reincarnation?
 
    MATHEW 17 VERSE 10-13
 
      "His disciples asked, Why do the Jewish leaders insist 
      Elija must return before the Messiah comes? 
    Jesus replied, They are right. Elijah must come and set 
      everything in order. 
    And, in fact, he has already come, but he wasn't 
      recognized, and was badly mistreated by many. And I, the 
      Messiah, shall also suffer at their hands. 
    Then the disciples realized he was speaking of 
      John the Baptist.

Mike,

Pretty common.  And that fear-based, judgmental attitude to anything not 
understood is probably the single most off-putting facet of fundamentalist 
Christianity to people like me.  Even the so-called "Toronto Blessing" 
effect, in which k is raised in fundamentalists of that persuasion, is 
considered by most of those who experience it to be exclusive to 
born-agains.  K in anybody else is often/usually considered demonic.

In either case, these "past-lives" tell me something about 
myself, whether because they are incorporated into my own 
being (4) or because I resonate with them (3). Even if (2) 
were true, they would be as relevant to me as my dreams. 
The difference between my belief and reincarnation is that 
in my belief, this life is it for me. Any lessons I don't learn 
in this life I won't get another shot at in a new life. Once you 
"pass Go", so to speak, it's on to the afterlife.>>
 
It is my understanding that the Council of Constantinople deleted all 
references from the original bible to reincarnation.  This was about three 
hundred years or so after the death of Jesus.

Yes, it is "worldview" dependent.  To me, reincarnation is the simplest 
explanation for a child dying at two of a lingering bout with cancer, or a 
baby being born with horrible deformities.  It is also the simplest 
explanation I can think of to explain child prodigies---as well as to 
explain the very experiences you described.

oh, Don...you are just such a kidder..bet you had fun writing this little 
joke..and whatever reactions do you hope to evoke with this little gem?? To 
the tune of delete keys everywhere...may I ask simply if you hope to 
provoke getting ousted from the list so you can justify your *beliefs*

hate to see you deprived of all this reading material which gives you such 
food for thought...since you must believe confession is good for the soul, 
allow me to confess that I spent almost all of my 50 years so far attending 
Christian churches, albeit of the possibly more liberal flavor of 
Presbyterians..(please favor me with your opinion of them... or not...at 
your whim, of course.) So, I am thankfully aware, (as I would bet most on 
the list are also) that your point of view does not reflect that of all 
Christians. 
 
Whatever caused you to diagnosis <unthankfulness syndrome> or to categorize 
those on the list as "spiritual and intellectual elites" anyway??? Since 
the context of your message seems to imply we are so lost and in error...we 
must be dumb and unspiritual...(slapping my forehead and going DUH!!! here) 
Oh, I think I *get it*?? Well, gee, gosh, thanky Don... for all your help

Hello Everyone,
 
I'm a writer in Boston who's looking for men and women 
between the ages of 25 and 55 to interview for an article I'm  
writing. The article concerns the phenomenom called ' Twin flame '. 
The experience does not have to be romantic and can involve same sex 
twins. Some may use the term ' Soulmates '. The experience involves a 
chance discovery of your ' twin flame ', someone you have just or 
never met face to face but somehow know all about them. This 
phenomenom seems to be happening to more and more people recently, 
especially in the 40-55 y.o. range.
 
If you're someone who can talk about these experiences and how they 
affected your life I would like to hear from you via email.
 
 I don't need to use your real name, so privacy is assured. 
 
Please respond to :

Do you have a reference for that? I've heard that idea 
mentioned a couple of times, but so far nobody I've 
talked to seems to know where it came from, or to 
have any idea what the "original references" actually 
said (in quotes only because I haven't been able to 
verify their existence - please don't take it as derisive). 
I'd really like to find out what the basis is for that belief.
 
 <snip> And that fear-based, judgmental attitude to

To me as well. One of the reasons I use "Fundamentalist" 
to refer to myself, even though I know I pretty much invite 
misunderstanding by doing so, is because it originally 
meant "adhering to the fundamentals" and I want to do my 
part to reclaim the term from its current connotation as  
"wanting to subject everyone else to innumerable and 
arbitrary man-made rules." I enjoy fundamentalism in its 
original sense. I adhere to a small set of fundamental 
beliefs which I periodically re-evaluate (and which I could 
easily summarize on one side of an index card) - basic 
stuff dealing with grace, faith, the death of Christ, etc. If 
we agree on those, everything else is secondary; if not, 
there's no basis for worrying about anything else (though 
that doesn't mean I won't debate anything else, as long as 
it stays cordial - I love a good friendly debate :-).
 
As I mentioned to Mystress in a private post, I don't do 
direct proselytizing as a general rule, since everyone has 
heard it already (and some folks rehear it all, usually in a 
judgemental tone, as soon as I say I'm a Christian, without 
me having to preach a word). I tend to think of my Christian 
"ministry" outside of the church as simply trying to live a 
life that proves that fundamentalist (positive connotation) 
Christianity and loving tolerance are not incompatible - if 
Jesus could do it, and I'm supposed to follow Him (that's 
what Christianity means, after all), then it must be possible.
 
 >Even the so-called "Toronto Blessing" effect, in which 
 >k is raised in fundamentalists of that persuasion, is 
 >considered by most of those who experience it to be 
 >exclusive to born-agains. K in anybody else is often/ 
 >usually considered demonic. <snip>
 
Unfortunately, I've read stuff on one "fundamentalist" 
(negative connotation) website where the "Toronto 
Blessing" is considered demonic even in evangelicals, 
specifically because of its similarity to K. Stereotyping 
is a common component of human nature - "it's like that 
New Age stuff, and since we know (?!?) that's demonic,  
this must be too!" (Even if the premise was categorically 
true - which I don't believe - the logic is still faulty.)
 
I usually avoid the same thing from the other side, but not 
always - there are a couple of metaphysical places I gave 
up on visiting because it was obvious that the people there 
were holding prejudices against me as a Christian - maybe 
out of suspicions that I had similar prejudices against them - 
and nothing I said seemed to make a difference. It seemed 
that they couldn't believe that a Christian could stand there 
and talk to them without calling down the wrath of God, or 
whatever. I didn't fit into their view of the world. Of course, 
I don't fit into the view of the world held by a lot of my fellow 
Christians, either, so I'm getting used to it - guess I'm just 
a "metaphysical non-conformist" or something :-).
 
in His love,

And while were discussing the Christian mind set, "regular" Christians  
consider the "Toronto Blessing" itself to be totally demonic for the  
very reason that it is so obviously K related.  There's a whole set of 
web pages on this somewhere.
 
Seems like the standard Christian mind set is: "Anything I don't 
believe in/understand is *demonic* .....and yet as our evolutionary 
timeline proceeds towards concrescence and singularity it does seem 
that Christianity has glimpsed some fundamental truth of this process 
no matter how badly it has been distorted by the sands of time and 
the fingerprints of man.
 
For me the biggest struggle has not been to reject or accept Christianity, 
but to accept the fact that my path has brought me to understand the 
meaning of it very deeply in ways far outside the mainstream.......a  
very difficult thing to come to peace with.

I am curious...how do others view dreams? I used to think that they 
represented my psychological work and processes. E.g., I am stressed so 
I dream of having to row a boat against a stream before I get pulled 
down a waterfall.
 
Lately, I have concluded that I experience very real energetic 
interactions during my dreams. I am encountering the soul stuff of 
others and they are encountering my soul stuff. I have dreams where I 
encounter the energy of an event which has not yet happened. For 
example, a woman I know was going to sell her business. In my dream, she 
came to me crying telling me that the sale fell through. Two weeks 
later, the sale did fall through.
 
I know day to day I am much more sensitive to energy around me since 
awakening (K?). So it makes sense to me that I have also become more 
aware while dreaming. Does anyone else think this way?

through.

 The cloudy days are a blessing for us all to learn 
 The sun shines brightly ALL the time 
 The sky is it's beautiful bright blue as well 
   
 The clouds are like our inner emotions drifting by 
  You may sit in glum 
  Or, feel the bright warmth of the sun shining within 
  Realizing the emotions are a blessing also
 
  Look at the cloubs 
  Look at the emotions 
  The teaching is there... 
  Growth is at its highest at this time........ 
  Now, it is your choice 
  Which path do you choose 
  Glum or Growth?
 
Namaste' 
Tom
