So, Gnosis is nothing more than the hubristic use of imaginary super powers to shun the truth and replace it with willful ignorance, thus making the world decidedly flatter?
Ah...let me clarify. Was in no way implying a match to the actor, just noting the chosen archetypal appearance of Winston to the brother....along with all the 'Julia' references (being there are so many of them).
I did dowse to see if the brother was one of 'the Beatles'...but got an unsatisfactory response.
Gnostic mind games are specifically designed to make the seeking of truth really hard work. Zen moves in the opposite direction allowing truth to reveal itself.
Deaf, dumb and blind to all other opinions other than our own. However, these opinions are NOT our own - being merely the product of a tangled mess of contradictory mind control protocols.
Open wide the mystic portals and be altogether lost!
The thing is to take control of these portals which are often manipulated by magicians using active will to control others. TV? The internet?
Natural psychics cannot do this and so they are unfit for psychic work due to their psychic incompetence. Being TOO psychic for one's own good makes one totally unpsychic?
@Brian the only time I have NEVER gotten anything right was without ease. No strain. I didn't even know I got anything right until you told me... didn't use a pendulum or anything, although divining is a skill in and of itself, dowsing is just a tool. Plus, my pendulum skills are very mediocre.
Swing-swing-a-ling I don't know a thing! Yet. Will get to that.
The pendulum presents us with many challenges, puzzles and riddles. Its mastery takes many years, because the consciousness has to expand to deal with all of these things.
The Yes/No, Black/White, Left/Right, Good/Evil, Politically Correct/Politically Incorrect false paradigms have to be transcended before Superconsciousness can be truly experienced.
Don't know where all your other students are... I sure have a long way to go. And I'm sorry for this joke, but I have to.
Life is like soccer. Your mom signed you up for it and you hate soccer but you still have to do your best.
I honestly hate life. I have a lovely life, a path in music (living my own musical dream), a caring boyfriend. Lovely parents. But I hate life. I'm so tired of being here over and over and over and over again. Sometimes I just wish I could cease to exist. In all honesty, just getting out of samsara would be the goal. Absolute death would be lovely.
Sometimes get the idea even living was a mistake: all these lives in samsara, thousands of them, in this damn planet? Getting out of the illusion in limbo might take long, but being here seems to have taken so long, I just look at myself in the mirror and think about what an idiot I probably was by just coming back here for thousands of times. At least in limbo there's fewer distractions???? I think? Might even take the same amount of time as it's already taken. *sigh*
