But, if you were me, you wouldn't take me too seriously, either. I just answered a message from Mathew before I read your reply and I realize that I did describe something very lovely as funny I think it strikes me that way because the ways of awareness are so contradictory to the ways of the reasoning mind. Also, because whenever I've found myself walking around in or right after a fine high headed samahdi and feeling quite holy, events springing out of physical awareness end up striking it down in the most creative and humorous ways, not mean or even ego deflating, just funny in such a way that I have to laugh at myself. > Bill:> < the key to dream > > imagery is the underlying feelings.> > Onniko:> Feelings and even stray thoughts hardly noticed can turn into the most bizarre creations. This is important, imo, because if someone does want to explore themselves further, there has to be an understood connection between their thoughts and the very vivid visions, beautiful and terrible, they will witness there. It's hard for anyone, at first, to imagine that their own mind can form anything so amazing or so real. I mean, one who can't draw or sing on key can make symphonies and videos that are more clear and vivid that physical life? Who would have thought it? Yet, it's a fact, we do it before we've even learned to tie our shoes. > -------------------------- Bill:> > " follow thoughts to their source, or to their unique > > field of vibrations.

One time, when I was having this real type dream where I was the off the air snow scattered in timeless non space (It was blue so from what the experts say, it couldn't have been Nirvana) ....anyway....I was not me or anybody or anything excpet the blue field of off the air snow and it was blissful and little bright pinpoints of clear light kept popping around in me (which was not me but the field, you know, ha) anyway ....to get to the funny (to me) part.....somewhere to the left of the field, I heard my mother calling me to come home. With one single unrising in the blue field of snow, my entire life tuned back in and I woke up. So, which was better, the snow or the life? Doesn't matter: The life is the snow doing a little dance. --- Karta: these are the numbers of the posts I liked from her but I am banned from there too 94 96 97 401 02 06 07 416 417 426 427 love, Karta Rob, this is from Karta who kindly took the trouble to save some old posts for me.
