Like I mention, no hard feelings at all.

Yes, many of these posts are very educational. I understand what you mean by "The cloud." We are all human and it runs through our minds every so often, some more than others...

I respect your wisdom and continue to love reading your posts as they show a lot of experience. I hope to achieve the many experiences that you have encountered. I certainly am one of the younger forum members (not too young) in my mid-twenties...so while I have a lot to learn in this body, I still carry the old wisdom I have from my prior lives and there have been 22 other lives.

Laughing out loud heals too...hahaha :lol:

I would be interested in hearing your experiences with monks.....!

One think I really liked hearing when I was being initaited into Buddhism, was that Enlightenment is an Equal Opportunity Employer...it is equally open to the young and old, male & female, wise and ignorant, sane and insane...etc...etc...

As for previous lives...honestly...I think you are one life ahead of me....LOL...but true.

I am blessed to be part of this Forum because, it keeps me thinking and I keep meeting very, very nice people, like yourself.
Cheers,
Caiyros





Blessings,

This is off topic, but to answer, yes, I will contribute my experiences with Buddhist monks at some point. I have hinted at some in the spellwork section...but not much. I will hopefully be able to start some posts soon. I'm taking a course at the moment so when I come into this forum it's to comment or write about something I've seen off or on eBay, etc.

Yes, I have gone to temples where the homeless are able to come in for any of their needs. The monks never try to convert them either and I found this to be very enlightening.

I do want to enlighten those that haven't experienced as much with the Buddhist culture. You sound like you have some experience.

>>>>>I agree with everything you say here...I have tulku status in Ris-med ("Rim-may") Tibetan and roshi status in the T'ien-T'ai-Soto-Rinzai Combined school of Zen.
This is one of the lovely things about the internet, it allows us to come together to contribute our experiences. In this current body, I am a brain scientist, and you can only imagine how closed-minded the others are around me when it comes to spirituality. However, the brain is very much linked to spirituality whether or not the others want to talk about it. One of the things I have achieved recently after countless sessions of meditation, is lucid dreaming. Like any other mechanism in the mind, if one chooses to tap into this side, it will continue to grow...

>>>>>With your knowledge of both the brain and mysticicsm, why not enter some information in the Weird Science category. Weird Science is now a respected not a perjorative term.
I have experienced being an alchemist during the Iron Age in Gual...but I have yet to tap into this side. The most recent significant past life I have been trying to remember is when I lived on the Carpathian Mountains in Northeastern Romania as a clairvoyant. This is probably the most significant life that links me to my personality today.
>>>>>>Do you recall the century you lived there?
In this current body I am clairsentient and I have been letting my feelings grow more and more. It is truly a beautiful experience.
