Date Posted: 10:19:27 02/13/05 Sun In reply to: dave 's message, "I want to share some honesty" on 23:18:36 02/12/05 Sat It is always a fine balance between "group think" and a group of people authentically experiencing something unfamiliar and allowing each other to comfirm the reality of an unfamiliar experience for each other. How do we be open to new things and at the same time not get "taken in" by shams? I watch people go through that question a lot in this realm. I have a few thoughts and no answers: 1. We are accustomed to "arguing logically" our experiences. Sensuality and energy tend to only be experienced when open and unprotected. It's tricky. This is why most people only have profound experiences when caught off guard. The extraordinary is not experienced through the logical mind. The trickiest part about this realm is that it is based entirely in subtle sensations. There is no way to argue or not argue it, either someone feels it or they don't. 2. It sounds like you were not looking at what you did experience, what was different. This is also something that prevents us from expanding sensually. We have an idea of what sensuality should be and then it doesn't measure up and then it is "bad". We miss out on the subtle nature of it. 3. It sounds like you have several viewpoints that are not conducive to experiencing something new; you view yourself as sensitive (and if you are sensitive and didn't feel it then it wasn't there), you believe that people can be made to believe something other than what they believe and you desribe yourself as listening to people's frames through a lens of doubt. Perhaps you were more afraid that it was true than that it wasn't and were building a case? Perhaps if you did look back you might find a moment of experience where you did sense something new? Perhaps you would prefer to be right than uncomfortable in something new? 4. Perhaps you are right and there is nothing there. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
