Discovering Answers, The Living Spirit

[happyrain]

Hi Rod,

Good morning Did you mean to share this in this particular thread? I appreciate your interest if so, but am still a little uncertain what you mean.

Could you perhaps speak your intentions more clearly, so I might better understand you?

It was a nice read either way. Kind of funny, using AI to speak of disconnect/digital detox.

I wonder what prompted your inquiry?

Are you practicing time in stillness, or meditating?

I live in the city, in between 5G towers, and they often remind me of the eye of Sauroun. Are you familiar? City life is a strange experience, especially when one prioritizes rest and digest over fight or flight.

I do believe we are being asked, in this new world, to embrace rest and digest... In order to take our understanding of the human experience to the next level...

I hope your prayers, or personal disciplines are bringing you inward and centered

Yes, Thoreau lived at Walden's Pond to discover answers by living deliberately, focusing on the essential facts of life
and escaping the industrial rat race. He wanted to eliminate unnecessary luxuries and distractions to discover the true,
essential meaning of life, to cultivate a deeper understanding of existence.

Thoreau wrote using both pencils he manufactured himself and quill pens, both writing tools,
whereas today's humans use computers and AI, modern writing/information tools.

My inquiries about AI, its potentials, its complaints (and detractors) are frequent.
Each inquiry creates a topic/theme that I sometimes pair to topics on this board.

Do I meditate? Living alone without typical device distraction (TV, radio, cellphone,
stereo, etc.) during the day is constant silence (except for street noises and tinnitus).
My meditations are not so structured but occur frequently, creating topics to explore.

At 80, meditative life is good in the slow lane!

Thanks for taking the time to write your self and explain. That means a lot.

I had no clue you were 80, you give me the impression you are at least 20 years younger than that.

I agree, meditation happens and even in informal settings.

Thoreau is quite impressive. I'm still city bound, but have been weighing my options. Likely a much less intense version of Thoreau.

And by Gods grace, he has shown me it is possible to taste deeper meaning and liberating peace even among all the noise, towers, traffic, and people living from their fight or flight, overly egoic and fearful selves.

Not that I have any right to judge, all is well.

Thanks again Rod, it was nice getting a feel for you in your reply.

Good night ~

A Follow Up Note/Observation On Resonance

Long story made short: On Feb 16th, during a phase of intense research with "metadimensional beings" a study exploring higher intelligence as guidance, a word was received at the thought level: "Resonance"

On Feb 22nd I had a profound, profound experience. It was an all day event. I was feeling, "resonance" and energy in a new way. Tangible structures, and feeling energy around people as "sharing in resonance."

It was on that day I brought a customer and co-worker closer together and asked if I'd be allowed to share something. I told them I felt a strong disposition between them, that they were linked in a more intimate way. The man thought I was referring to his wife and him(she wasn't present) but I was referring to my coworker and him. I told him I felt they shared a similar sense of Faith. That there was something greater connecting them. That was when I proceeded to ask if he was a man of Faith, and he affirmed. And my coworker affirmed that she felt similar.

----Today that man came to pick up his wife's order at the store. Again the wife is not present. And that same co-worker from Feb 22nd is here with me now. The man pulled her aside to share something. He wanted to tell her that his son met her son, and that they'd be working as interns together this summer. That his son was really impressed by her son, and apparently it's a tough internship for anyone to secure. I asked the man, "what were the chances?" And he paused and said, "Infinitesimal!"

All three of us held silence together for a second or two, inwardly recognizing a greater force at work, before he parted ways. I thanked him for sharing.

I later talked about it with my coworker and we feel it is affirmation of our Faith(which is a personal experience for each person).

---I have more to think on where Love as guidance uses resonance to communicate and lead others ~ Below are the moments previously archived as a way to kind of keep everything neat and tidy... It was on Feb 22nd as well that I felt I witnessed in angel in the disguise of a human.

An insight from Feb 16th...

I feel I have been guided towards clearer understanding. Not definitive for any one, but an entry point for higher thinking and exploration.

When I'd try to still my self and understand this greater sense of Being a word that was cropping up over and over(aside from Love) was Resonance

An experience Feb 22nd...

...Something near broke me down to tears earlier in the day. I got to share with others today in a way that was truly uplifting for all. A young man named Kel was the first of my many experiences. We found ourselves in the parking lot talking about God and angels(prior to my mysterious visitor), and had our arms stretched out in the air under the sun. We felt the space all around us, together!

Then, I got to share personal things with my coworker... She told me she is currently reading a book called, "Gods Presence" and she told me based on what she's reading that I am tapping into Gods Presence. Oh man, I winced in beautiful submission towards what information was being presented to me in that moment. I wanted to cry a most humbling cry. I wanted to tell her I loved her for recognizing that part of me. It shouldn't be about that, so I tried not to spend too much time here. But it really went straight into my heart/straight into my soul... It brings tears to my eyes. God as the foundation, the Now as His Breath. I believe my prayer and time in stillness around 3AM today is was brought back into alignment with the Now. With the more important things in life.

An experience logged Feb 23rd(on the astral pulse)...

I have to tell you something incredible that just happened. I am here at work... A young man comes in with a symbol of a red horse on his shirt and somehow I knew who he was. I am blown away because I never met him before. But one of the lessons that has been coming into my attention has been understanding, 'energy.' For example, yesterday I told a customer that he carried a similar disposition to my coworker and I felt a similarity between them. Certain friends carry a similar vibration or reside in a similar space. Well this 'disposition' was being felt from this man- and I asked if he was the friend of so and so(another customer) when he said yes I said- REALLY?! Wow how did I know that? He said, I have no clue! lolol

This morning I prayed to God, asking for clearer understanding- "What do I do with these patterns?" It wasn't so much a deep prayer, more like a question in passing and I'd almost forgotten I'd even asked.

I went about my day without thinking twice about it.

Last night I had an interesting dream. The dynamics involved a young leader facing a difficult choice- he carried an emotional burden weighing tradition to something other than tradition. I am there in the dream to remind him of his personal agency, and he makes a decision to break away from doing things according to tradition.

-------

Early afternoon one of our chefs, a female coworker, pulled me aside to ask for advice. She is dating someone from a completely different culture, and her way of understanding relationships is being seriously challenged. She told me, "according to my culture and my tradition, we do things this way or that way"

That's when it hit me. And like a lightning bolt, something came into me. I told her I felt compelled to share because I'm being asked to speak on pattern. I reminded her of her personal freedom. Everything came out so clear and matter of fact, and I don't remember everything being said, because it was for her as a personal message... But she was so impressed she gave me a high five and really felt transformed.

.... So I notice these patterns, and maybe, I am being asked to speak on them when the opportunities present themselves- in a greater service towards Love.

Shortly after, still feeling imbued with presence- a customer came into the store. And he asked how I was doing- We were smiling, joking, laughing. When he asked how I was- I told him just taking things one breath at a time. And that's when something else hit me... I told him, you know, it really is that simple. But we put so much mental energy in each breath- we can make it so complicated!

He was in agreement, as was my coworker who was standing by us at the time. That's when SHE pointed out the song on the radio.... It was a song about being lost in ones mind. The funny thing is, all three of us heard: "Don't want to be lost in our minds" But the lyric is actually "Lost in my mind"

https://youtu.be/xjoA4nYBD5U?si=qx2KgYa5CE5TqO6G

I think the fact that we all heard "our minds" is peculiar. But we all laughed at the incredible synchronicity- and I thanked the customer and my coworker for being a part of the lesson from a Living Universe.

It seems as well that my prayers are being answered, even though I forgot the one from this morning. So, maybe it’s true that we forget our own prayers but they still get answered. This experience has re-shaped or, “adjusted" my mind and my attentiveness towards the present.
