| Kristal_Rose | posted 12-Dec-2000 1:18am "Welcome home". Of course I've heard that in the realm of totally psychic family gatherings, the realm of ancestral spirit, a meditation realm with folks like ganesh and garuda hanging out, and I've felt at home in some other realms. Lately a strong calling has been gaining momentum, it's been described to me as both going home and as getting a ship. Most every realm I've been to started as a speculation, and I didn't encounter documentation till after I'd had the experience; this is no different; The last 20 of 1300 pages in Alice Baileys 'treatise on cosmic fire' describe transcending color and experiencing everything as electricity, alas it doesn't seem to describe what happens when you become that electricity. The moment I say ok, let's do it, I get a feeling like being plugged into a wall socket and chicken out. I've made some mistakes before like the time I was unwittingly worshipping Kali-Ma & the Sri-Yantra and awoke in intense fire, and had to cool off in the ocean. Now I am white light (Gevurah) when in the presence of red, so it was worth the mistake. "I welcome you all" is what I say during group worship; it seems to escalate the group's ecstasy, light, or knowledge depending upon the flavor of worship. I got the line from my guru, guru mayi chid-vilas-ananda. I respect her a lot. Besides prompting my kundalini awakening, she has a warm hearted energy that I can identify when someone so much as hangs her picture in their house. It is a sort of romantic magenta-peach or pink-orange energy that wafts and billows or scintillates like a hall of disco mirrors. |
| Kristal_Rose | (reply to mandy) posted 12-Dec-2000 1:44am Think of yourself as in the garden of Eden, naming the animals and always having delights and needs in reach, you're welcome to stay there of course and there's no reason to leave, but your key fits far more than you can imagine at the moment. You may find that every movie or book on mythology you ever read was a preface to the experience. We may be enlightened, but we are not fully enlightened. There are things to be gained from discussions with the logos, practice, experience, etc.. But there are things you still can't see even if you were to become a nebula tonight. At this point I am beginning to consider all of creation including my intellect and perception, though it be in mirror unison when I choose such, to be an external experience, as is the void. So far it has all been inference.. I create therefore I am. |

| cody | posted 13-Jan-2001 6:42pm Welcome to heaven. You may think that I am God, but actually, I am Zog, the personification of logic, truth and reason. I right wrongs. Please take this moment to laugh at all the people who wasted their lives in church, and then return to your coffin where you will lose consciousness, and never live again. Because few people know this, but when you are dead, your dead. There is no god and there is no heaven. Now to the pictures of church-goers.. please point and laugh. |
| smurf | posted 14-Jan-2001 1:30am "Well done, good and faithful servant." Oh, what a day that will be!! |
| smurf | (reply to kaleb777) posted 14-Jan-2001 1:33am S'cuse me? I take exception to that! |
| Kristal_Rose | posted 14-Jan-2001 9:29am Heaven is meant to happen here. Folks, please don't wait till you're dead. Imagine what it would look like and make it happen here. What would be elsewhere that is not available to us here and now? We don't need to transcend the physical plane but take unattached delight in and stewardship of it. People can love each other here. A cloud's not going to help things, after all Sartre's 'No Exit' was a hell composed solely of three incompatible people in a lounge room for eternity. I've been to heaven on earth. I don't stay because I like to challenge myself and eventually forget how I got there. |
| SueBee | (reply to Kristal_Rose) posted 19-Jan-2001 3:42pm I agree. We need to make the most of the here and now. I saw a stage performance of 'No Exit' once that was really bad. Sitting in that audience was hell! |
| anonymous | posted 19-Jan-2001 8:37pm excuse me, but heaven exists |
| Kristal_Rose | (reply to SueBee) posted 20-Jan-2001 7:38am Truth always mirrors. When I was supposed to perform it, I tried so hard to be perfect, even rehearsing in the original French, but my astoundingly vain partner didn't want to perform except whenever I agreed with her that it wasn't working. It was pure hell. and then there was Art by Raza. I played the character Alan Alda played (I used to be much like him), and like in the play, my partner didn't get it. Performing Nightingale and Blood Moon were like the plays too. I remember when I used to make props, if I made rotting flesh hands 'Springs Awakening' (1892 about abortion) I picked up sores on my hands. I've become careful over the years what I absorb as life stories. I still end up choosing some horrendous ones. You probably know this too. |
| SueBee | (reply to Kristal_Rose) posted 20-Jan-2001 2:20pm How bizarre, but I can see how that would happen. mandy swears that I make things happen by wishing they wouldn't. Like, at work, more customers than usual ask to use the bathroom when we're running out of toilet paper. That sort of thing. Have you ever seen the play 'The Actor's Nightmare'? |
| Kristal_Rose | (reply to SueBee) posted 20-Jan-2001 3:23pm She's right. Your greatest held fears and confidentally surrendered desires are the things most likely to happen. {don't blame me; I didn't write the system}. No, haven't seen that play. |

| juliw | posted 7-Mar-2001 7:07pm Hi, Julie! Welcome to Heaven! You did a fantastic job down on Earth, and sure do deserve to be here. I especially want to commend you on your modesty. Right over there is your dad, grandparents, and all the other friends and relatives you haven't seen for a while. |
| juliw | posted 7-Mar-2001 7:14pm Do you have any questions to ask me? I will answer all of them. |
| kaleb777 | (reply to smurf) posted 8-Mar-2001 1:08pm Why? |
| smurf | (reply to kaleb777) posted 8-Mar-2001 11:39pm That's rather insulting, don't u think? There was no need for that. |
| kaleb777 | (reply to smurf) posted 14-Mar-2001 3:08pm Don't you think even God would get sick of a bunch of self righteous sycophants constantly kissing his ass? Personally I really don't give a crap what you think of my comment, and I can't understand why, out of all the other comments, you took exception to mine. PS, when did you have your humorectomy? |

| Julia81 | posted 12-Apr-2001 5:06pm "welcome dear servant to Heaven. You lived your life in proper way, you did alot of good things in your life, you made so many people happy. let me make you happy too, you deserve it!" i would be glad if God would say things to me when i die. And i would like to see my gradmom meeting me in Heaven....i would tell her how i missed her on earth! |
| Kristal_Rose | (reply to Julia81) posted 13-Apr-2001 6:08am God has a whole variety of means by which you could be conversing now. You could perhaps meet your grandmother now too, but I don't recommend it. Talking with God I wholeheartedly recommend though. Until then, you're just guessing that you're serving God. With 2 bf relationships, I'm glad you use your own judgement at least. |
| Julia81 | (reply to Kristal_Rose) posted 13-Apr-2001 1:33pm well Kristal_Rose i always use my own judgements, i say what i think is right and i honestly dont care what people think about it. what about God, i always talk to him through my prayers and i never lose faith in him, no matter how hard sometimes my life can be. what about my grandmom i prefer dead people to keep in peace and i dont believe that people can communicate with dead or anything like that. |
| Kristal_Rose | (reply to Julia81) posted 13-Apr-2001 6:03pm To my surprise, the next couple nights after I became a minister, I had (lost?)souls visiting me in my bedtime meditations. I also have friends (close in heart, distant geographically) that I communicate telepathically with. God: one way to communicate is yours - pray and see the influence in your life. Other options include having an inner voice, reading signs and omens, and what I rely on, speaking through the logos, in which all words around you have a higher level of meaning forming a direct 2 party conversation. There are at least a couple dozen variants of the logos, many not talking to god, per se. Half the time I use my own judgement, the other half god is audible, suggesting things to do or not do re: physical, emotional, and spiritual issues. I have trained a few people to hear god. God tells me when to check my finances, suggests I work more on one realm or another, clarifies my shortcomings, presents immense opportunities for service work, changes the sweetness of my environment, etc. etc. etc. Usually I have the radio going as a guide. Talking "directly" to God through others takes a state of grace I've rarely touched. That's one version of what I call heaven. |
| merlyn | posted 13-Apr-2001 11:54pm You have nothing to worry about, you are definitely Saint material! |
| Iseult | posted 14-Apr-2001 3:11pm 'Go away; you belong down there' That's what I'm goint to hear. |
| SueBee | (reply to Kristal_Rose) posted 14-Apr-2001 3:57pm Do you believe in reincarnation? |
| SueBee | (reply to Iseult) posted 14-Apr-2001 3:58pm But the question here is "What would you like to hear? |
| Kristal_Rose | (reply to SueBee) posted 14-Apr-2001 9:03pm During 9 hours of tantra I experienced several thousand personalities, I also have ancient memories, for instance, when I was three years old, I was designing gas lighting mechanical ignition systems for castles. I suspect that that's one of the places I left off at in a prior life. So yes. As much as I believe in the existence of history. You've asked this before, and I gave you the same answer. Speculating on why you ask, heaven is a place to visit, not our ultimate destination. |
| Kristal_Rose | (reply to Iseult) posted 14-Apr-2001 9:08pm "Goin't to hear". Your own soul wont let you get away with your ego rubbish. |
| SueBee | (reply to Kristal_Rose) posted 14-Apr-2001 9:36pm Actually I asked because of what you said about being able to contact a relative who is no longer alive. I found myself wondering if that would be possible with someone who had passed away a long time ago. If they'd been reborn into another life, I wouldn't think you could contact them as the person you knew before. |
| Kristal_Rose | (reply to SueBee) posted 14-Apr-2001 9:53pm I've been heavily considering 'downloading' the scene of my fathers death (for many reasons, esp. sentimental), and perhaps some of his memories too (I want to know if I'm still heir to the family castle). I certainly wouldn't want to disturb him as he is manifest now though. I've done a bit of both, but never combined. Communications that transcend the physical are just as frequently out of time synch as they are in it. That source which connects all manifestation, also connects all time. I just realised my meditations weren't false readings (ok, so I did more than consider it). They were scenes of Nazi germany, and i just now realised he was a toddler living amongst that. |
| Kristal_Rose | (reply to SueBee) posted 14-Apr-2001 9:58pm Is our intermittant ethernet connection 2-way, or was this just synchronicity? |
| Iseult | (reply to SueBee) posted 14-Apr-2001 10:16pm Damn, I never read the question properly. |
