The focus of consciousness

Leftius

When I was a telepath, I learned that we can talk to our astral body, future lives and past lives. But the most perplexing thing is that our past lives do not just fade away. They are in a place where they wait for the soul's return so that they may merge with it. And the problem is this: if we are there waiting for the span to be over, how we can be in a body and sense all and talk. So if I die, I don't just become another person in a different body but remain there where are the rest of us waiting for our soul. Still we are here now. And will be in the future. This all is very hard to grasp, and I may be wrong. But this what I have learned thus far. Brian can reprimand me, if I'm completely wrong!

Leftius

I could also talk to my previous lives who are in the place where they wait for the soul.

They were willing to talk to me.

Brian

You should have started with "when I THOUGHT I was a telepath". The astral planes of thought and emotion are a rats' alley where the dead men lost their bones.

Leftius

But, Brian, you talked to me personally.

LunaWHDavies7

Yeah, Brian, you talked to him personally!

If none of that was true then what's the explanation? Leftius: I may be quite young, but I've had my own run with insanity (delusions and hallucinations). Perhaps in a meditative state you tapped into your auditory and visual cortexes causing hallucinations? I've had them.

I even had a "vision" when I was 11 that guessed upon the death of a 26 year old woman. Two years later I found the newspaper article about her: local medical student who died in a car crash earlier in 2008, I was 13 then. Was it really a flash about her? No. But hey, the human mind is very... suggestive. http://m.legacy.com/obituaries/calgaryherald/obituary.aspx?n=lindsay-kimmett&pid=103853176&referrer=0&preview=false

Brian

The belief that one can read others' minds has long been considered a symptom of psychosis, despite reports in the parapsychological literature of veridical telepathy. All patients admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit were screened for paranormal beliefs, and those claiming telepathic abilities were tested in a free-response ESP task. Eighteen per cent of the inpatient population claimed telepathic abilities; of the nine patients who completed the task, none performed above chance expectations. Higher frequencies of paranormal experiences than those reported previously in the psychiatric literature were attributed to the context of the study. Schneider's first rank symptoms and a belief in telepathy discriminated schizophrenics more reliably than other paranormal experiences. Possible psychodynamics of delusions of telepathy were discussed in view of the predominance of women and younger men reporting them, as were the possible effects of such research on patients' delusions.

The gateway to genuine psychic power is the cultivation of critical thinking.

LunaWHDavies7

You cannot cultivate common sense or critical thinking when in a delusional state.

Leftius

Luna, I'm quite young too, 30 years old. My God. I feel something, vibrations, and I have weird tugs in my head. I'm afraid.

Luna, it was too real to be a dream or a mere psychosis, although I'm an unbalanced individual. It is too hard to bear all this alone. Deluded! Brian, I don't understand! You made those cycles with a yogi-swami and talked to me and guided me. 

LunaWHDavies7

I had a delusional disorder. It's very real. I've also had very real tactile hallucinations, trust me. They seem totally real, absolutely real.

Leftius

Another guru? Why did you post that?

LunaWHDavies7

I'm guessing who Brian studied with? Probably very wrong, always trying to find out more about Brian. Been studying with him for years and it's like I know nothing.

Brian

Insanity is merely a sloppy, left hand, Luciferic, undisciplined, anarchistic type approach to insight that only works to a VERY limited extent.

LunaWHDavies7

Listen, Leftius, in order to follow the path that leads us out of this Pig's Hell that is presently samsara, you NEED a certain degree of insanity. That's kind of the only way you seek out these mystical opportunities with people that are the total iconoclast. Like Brian.

Brian

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Leftius

Brian has always been very outspoken to me. But he just don't give us "mind candy" like he did when he made all those Youtube-videos on reincarnation. For some reason, I've always trusted Brianstalin.

LunaWHDavies7

Me too. Never knew why.

Brian

Meditation (seeking the death state) is extreme insanity in a world of great sensory temptation and entrapment. So what? 

LunaWHDavies7

What do you mean "so what"?

Brian

So why make a big thing about Jesus, when TRUTH is the important thing? This is called WRONG focus.

Leftius

The ego rules the world - when will it end?

LunaWHDavies7

@Brian I think the point I made is that no one in their right mind would take the path of mysticism. It's a crazy path.

Got it! Thanks so much for answering!! :)

Leftius

Worldly people respect mostly work but not spirituality. Is it rare to find a real truth-seeker?

LunaWHDavies7

Leftius, how many truth-seekers have you met in your own life?

Brian

The real paradox is that without Jesus, truth cannot be found.

LunaWHDavies7

Interesting! But why not? Why is there a blockage without him?
