Someone -- Anne? -- posted that they experienced seeing different things 
with their peripheral vision, that the center of the visual field had a 
purple shape in it, and that they had occasional peripheral light flashes. 
 I have all of these things, and what my opthamologist tells me is 
that the light flashes go with the thinness of my retina at the edges (I am 
very myopic - nearsighted). An increase in pressure effects the rods and 
cones and causes them to fire. Coughing always does it to me, but 
occasionally it just happens when I am reading.  
 The lighter -- sometimes grey, sometimes colored -- area in the 
center of my visual field I associate with too much computer use, since the 
afterimage is roughly the shape of the screen and wipes out my night vision 
in that area. At the same time the peripheral field remains sharp and clear, 
so that I can see many stars only when I look away from them.  
 The solution? Turn off the computer and go outside for a while.

Objective and subjective views of reality have found frequent expression on the 
list.  There has been no mention (to my recollection) of a third view that is 
not one or the other -yet is both.  The concept of Oneness, unity with 
Supreme Consciousness, and the like, seems to require such a view, since being 
objective (or subjective) by itself is only partial and dualistic. 
 
It would seem that the great difficulty in achieving the state of Oneness rests 
on the lack of such perspective.  It has made me wonder if some latent ability 
is waiting to be evolved and what such perception might be called. 
 
Occasionally I have experienced something like this in meditation with eyes 
opened.  As I explore various objects in that mind/state I seem to observe an 
(etheric?) energy field surrounding the object and began calling the experience 
etheric vision. 
 
At the same time my understanding of reality has integrated this etheric vision 
as my personal connection to the Holographic Universe. 
 
Does anyone have such an understanding?

The peripheral vision and light issues others on the list described had me in 
my eye doctor's office for hours with my head in a contraption responding to 
light signals from a concave light board when it happened to me during a high 
energy period of my life. They took inner eye pictures (the physical eye, 
goofus, not the subtle one) and the whole nine yards....only to say my eyes 
were healthy and they didn't know why I was seeing odd things in my peripheral 
vision or had light effects that startled me. 
   Still don't know. Don't much care. Just go with the flow. They subsided 
after a few months.

Sunday night i did my love bombing on ICQ with Antoine. So Ann, maybe I  
*was* in Montreal and not in Denver.  :D
 
What I saw was all the ks list people sitting around a round  
table...reminds me of the King arthur legend... very big round table.
 
Above was this shaft of light that came down and illluminated the table  
and you all sitting at it. Room we were in was very dark, we were only  
illuminated by the lift from above.
 
The more I focused on bringing down the light the more the waves of  
Shakti went thru my body.
 
A quiet and powerful meditation for me.

define as being neither objective or subjective, but a unity of both.  One 
component of the experience is as described above. The other, which I  
failed to mention, is the feeling/sensation of a 'magnetic' field  
permeating my body/self.]  <-insertion)

FYI..there is a good book out.."The Holographic Universe" by Michael  
Talbot..for anyone wanting a more detailed explanation of how reality  
and also the human brain function as holograms.  It sounds like you are  
seeing the etheric realm, Ed.  Thanks for pointing out how the objective  
vs. subjective is just another version of the dualism. However, your  
current subjective experience of seeing *ethericaly* is a good example  
of the difficulty of sharing this knowledge more objectively with  
others. Until they also gain that experience, how are they to believe  
you??

Hi Sherry,
 
You are right, step 3 is difficult. It needs practice just like you learn any 
other new skills.
 
Do not try to get rid of negative thoughts, *ignore* them. In Taoism we call 
these negative feelings 'devil'. If I try to fight these devils, I've already 
failed. 
If I ignore them, they lose their interests on me and go away, I win.
 
Just like a famous Tibetian saint told his student: 
"If you feel good, OK, don't care, continue your training. 
  If you feel bad, OK, don't care, continue your training."
 
I agree with you, somebody wants to hurt somebody else because of various 
reasons. A person should know human being's dark side as much as he 
know human being's light side. All we can do is to try to stimulate other 
persons' light side and avoid their dark side. When they show their dark side 
to you(this is one kind of negative situation), you will feel fear(one kind of 
negtive feeling); ignore your fear, don't follow your fear, relax on the holy 
one which causes everything, good or bad. Holy one can destory a temple, 
Holy one can also save a temple.
 
Yu

A small point: it wasn't Jesus who said, "Be still and know that I am God." 
That comes from the 46th Psalm, ascribed to King David.
 
Jesus said things more along the lines of "In that day you will know that I 
am in my Father, and He in me, and I in you."
 
That is reported in the Gospel of John, the most gnostic of the gospels in 
the New Testament and the favorite of mystics.  It's the one that starts: 
"In the beginning was the Word [Logos], and the Word was with God, and the 
Word was God."

AMF 
This sounds like a very high state, but not the same thing as union 
(nirvikalpa samadhi).  If God is manifest, that is not union.  If God is 
manifest through a vehicle, that is not union.  As Anandajyoti said, the 
state of union is a "non dual non local field."  This is the unmanifest.

Again, if it is manifest, this is not union.

Subject: Sharing my experience with "Titanic"  Ego/God/Goddess/Whole 
Message-ID: <515bd201.34ce17c3ATnospamaol.com> 
 
Dear list folk, 
 
Living the paradox........Divine perfection & BEingness INCLUDING human focus 
where time and space are experienced.........For myself, I've discovered that 
EGO is a necessary part of my existence as a human being.  Without my ego, and 
all its wants, wishes and dreams, I believe I'd do no growing or expanding as 
a human, even though my higher dimensional selves all the way "up" to 
God/Goddess knows all, and IS all.   Even the higher self with God/Goddess 
itself expands through experience, IMO.  For me, the trick has been to let ego 
have a voice and acknowledgement, but not CONTROL over all other "parts" & 
voices & feelings of me - to transform ego into a cooperative aspect of the 
whole being, not necessarily the leader, but even that is sometimes 
appropriate.
 
I've learned a lot through my experience with "Titanic," and would like to 
share it, BUT, sharing it involves a sort of telling of the movie.  So DON'T 
read if you want to see the movie and be surprised!  Please scroll down if you 
choose to read.
 
 
 
 
I'll try to be as brief as possible, and I hope the meaning isn't lost because 
of it, but here goes:
 
Heroine - name of ROSE!!!!! (a nickname of mine - very meaningful personally 
long before the movie)  Also, she's no little petite thing; quite meaty, in 
fact, and STILL beautiful and delicate and feminine!  (speaks to my own body 
image) 
Doesn't know how to break free from constraints of her societal and familial 
views/rules - role is to be subservient, act like someone she is NOT to 
maintain appearance and riches of the family (which do not serve self in the 
heart and feeling department - gowns and baubles mean nothing when you feel 
empty and personalityless inside)   
I identify with her very strongly
 
Jack - (to me, he is the God figure) 
Since he grew up poor, he learned early on to trust his instincts and follow 
them, trusting that he would be taken care of (which worked out and further 
strengthened his faith throughout his life) 
True to himself with no embarrassment; confidence, strength, fortitude, and 
JOY
 
Cal (the fiance') - He is the embodiment of what I grew up to believe God (and 
men) were - if you are female and surrender to him/them, you are snared, 
entrapped, expected to serve without regard to self, expected to be somebody 
you are not in order to please others (robot-like) - and in exchange, the 
female is housed, clothed, & bejeweled, but with no attention to her mind, her 
heart, her individuality
 
Rose, seeing no way out, chose to gradually form a trust in Jack (and his 
confidence, strength, faith, and joy) - he being the only support she felt she 
had for her individuality, she grabbed hold of him & trusted enough to follow, 
forming that strength, confidence, trust, & joy within herself along the way
 
Throughout the whole sinking of the ship, Rose has her newfound strength, 
faith, and confidence within herself, and also Jack to lead the way, each 
supporting the other 
When the final sinking occurs, she is extremely scared, but remains trustful 
in Jack's instructions and faith, and hangs onto it and him
 
When Jack dies at the end, Rose keeps him and all his qualities in her heart 
and body to carry her through the rest of her life, break away from her 
societal and familial programming, live life according to Rose and HER 
needs/desires (integrating them with others along the way), and returning to 
Jack upon her death
 
Through the energy of the on-screen Jack, I awakened a new perception of God; 
it felt like I JUST found Him inside of me (my inner male also), and at the 
same time realized he'd been there the whole time, but I hadn't trusted Him 
because of my previous perception of men/God 
Like Rose, I keep him in my heart and body, and trust his guidance, wisdom, 
confidence, and strength, even when I too am very scared.  And at my own 
physical death, I will also return "home" to Him (even though I never left!)
 
It's helpful for me now to have a personification of God inside me - his name 
is Jack, and he talks to me, puts his finger over my lips when I am to remain 
silent, and gestures to me, helping me put meanings to 
things/people/situations.
 
I asked Him the other day, where is Goddess?  I'm thrilled and happy to have 
finally met God and received Him in my heart and soul (perception) at a deeper 
level, but where is the counterpart?  He said the Goddess part of me is the 
one who is silent and focused, tunes into the inner voices and feelings, and 
receives impressions to act on (sounds like Rose!).  The Goddess energy 
creates the impressions/inner voices/feelings almost, just by the act of 
RECEIVING - that God cannot act without the receiving from Goddess, and in 
that way, form a dance, become ONE, the totality, the BEingness.
 
As a human focus, where time and space do exist experientially, I am ALL, but 
ALL can be broken down into facets and details, where I am sometimes the male, 
and sometimes the female, each with their own seperate functions that work 
together to form the whole (the whole being absolutely perfect and divine no 
matter the facet reflections' feelings and actions, including anger, etc., 
creating the perfect outcome for soul's higher learning and growth) - Giving, 
receiving, BEingness, & actingness, ever flowing and changing.
 
I'm like a diamond reflecting a myriad of facets that I see mirrored in other 
people/places/situations - I am not only the seperate facets or aspects (those 
are only teeny tiny parts of who I am), I am the WHOLE diamond.  And I'm 
learning to remember that in moments of crisis, where an aspect is reflecting 
that seems dark and fearful.  Very helpful in shining light on those little 
dark, fearful reflections!
 
When I get the mirror image of those dark places, I try not to identify with 
them, or live them (deny them, NO; acknowledge them, YES - that is different 
than "living" them), knowing that they are not fully who I am, just there to 
show me where I need to add light.  Sometimes, I can go right "up" into the 
totality of me, and see/know the big picture, which helps the aspect transform 
into light. But sometimes, the aspect has a stronger "pull" on me, and I need 
to express it (it must be an aspect that has been previously denied, 
suppressed and really cries out to be heard) - rather than expressing it 
directly to the other person involved, I do seperate anger/fear work first, to 
let the steam out of the boiling kettle.  THEN I can speak with the person 
involved from a loving, gentle space, so that we can come to come to 
understand one another.
 
Just wanted to share! :-)
 
Blessings,

Once upon a time, back when I was a construction worker, the other woman on 
the crew and I were hated by our crew boss. Our presence seemed to enrage 
her. We tried shielding ourselves with Light. We tried prayer and calling on 
*----*. We tried 'being good'. 
Eventually we went to a friend to ask for suggestions . That person listened 
to our stories, and said that everything we had been doing served to 
strengthen our fear and our boss's anger. He told us to  
consciously open our bellies and heart to pull in all the vituperation and 
hate, raising it up our spines and out the top to offer it with all our love 
to *-----*. Opening to the dark side of this woman, rather than trying to 
protect ourselves and close it out, removed all power from what our crew 
boss was hurling at us. We both wound up higher than kites, alight with 
loving *----*, and riding on that energy. The more furious our crewboss 
became at us, the more blissed out on *----* we were. Our crew boss never 
stopped hating our presence in her life, but rather than continue to try to 
make our lives miserable, she moved to a different crew. 
Opening up to another's hatred was scarey at first. It is still very hard 
for me to remember to do, especially if I am surprised by yuck. It surely 
works though.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I'm going to be leaving the 
list for awhile. I dropped in here about 2 years ago and was so 
impressed with the quality of people on this list, that I never left:) 
So take care everyone.... namaste
 
 My health has really been screwed up in the last few months. I'm being 
checked out for hypothyroidism... (throat chakra, again:) But it makes 
me very dozey in mind and body.
 
it's been a pleasure...
