There seems to be a lot of hype about it at the moment? Are we due another, maybe more dramatic shift in 2012?

There seems to be a lot of hype about it at the moment?

I love the way you object to my use of ‘we’, and then state:

‘In every religious person there is a scientist, and in the scientific there is some religion’

Which ‘we’ are those? ;-)

Maybe I am a touch of both, however I am fully able to understand both. When you ust the term "we", do you have a small grey mouse in your pocket? "We", surely does not mean everyone on earth. I know from what I have read that "We" surely does not include myself. One thing I am fully aware of is that both, religious people and scientific people do have a common goal. Both are determined to destroy the very planet where they exist. In every religious person there is a scientist, and in the scientific there is some religion. They are so much alike, yet remain so intensely in conflict with each other to see it. "If there is one thing I hate more than prophicy it is self fullfilling prophecy." I am not a religious person and I am not a scientific person. Maybe I am a touch of both, however I am fully able to understand both.

I am hoping you can shed some light on an experience I had back in 1990. I have only told a couple of people about it and they looked at me like I was crazy so I do not talk about it anymore. The experience only lasted for about 30 to 45 seconds but it was the most powerful and beautiful thing I have ever experienced. Before I describe it, I need to say that I did absolutely nothing to trigger this experience and I cannot give a label or name to it. All these years I have sought for an answer to what it was and what caused it, but I cannot find anyone who can explain it to me. Here is what I experienced. I was actually driving and in traffic when I felt heat in my solar plexus area and I did not pay much attention to it at first. Then, the heat intensified rapidly until it was so hot I should have felt discomfort, but there was no discomfort at all. Then, the heat radiated throughout my entire body and moved up my spine. When the heat got to my head I experienced an extremely exaggerate or intense form of awareness. This was NOT another level of consciousness but rather another kind of consciousness. I was not only aware, but somehow I was the awareness itself. This is what is difficult to explain. I was also aware that everything is perfect and happening exactly according to some greater plan. In spite of all the things we consider wrong with the world. I can only describe what I felt as God Consciousness. I was somehow aware that I was everywhere at the same time. Don't ask me how, but that is what I was experiencing; along with the most intense euphoria. The only thing I have come across that comes close to describing my experience is something called the Kundalini experience. It felt like someone pealed back this reality and gave me a 30 -40 second glimpse of Heaven itself. I do not know what caused it and it has never happened again. Do you have any thoughts as to what I could have experienced? Any honest answer will be welcomed. Sincerely, Carl I am responding to your blog about HOW TO EXPLAIN CONSCIOUSNESS SHIFTS.

I remain astounded by - and grateful for - these recent connections. I too am inspired by what - and who - I have found here. James, you mentioned Seth mailing lists. Do you know if there are other groups or lists still operating? I found a Yahoo Group initiated by Robert Butts and Laurel Davies-Butts; however, it seems so impersonal. There is also a Seth Ring that I've yet to fully explore. I guess I'm looking for something interactive - but I'm not sure what, exactly. Not to worry, James. I do believe that Seth (and others like 'him') are making a come back! I have always loved Pink Floyd, but now I hear it so much differently. 'Comfortably Numb' takes on a whole new meaning! The groups Rush and Jethro Tull are also favorites of mine, although - like Pink Floyd - I now 'listen' to their music and 'understand' their lyrics in a brand new way. Strange, because the messages were always there. I just didn't percieve them in this manner until recently. Now, I find these messages all over the place (music, poetry - my own, from nearly 20 years ago, prose, art, movies) - old and new. If you'll indulge me, below is a poem I wrote in the late eighties. It was a much different time for me then, long before I was consciously aware of anything of the nature of which we've been conversing. This is one of MANY poems of like kind, as I wrote prolifically during that time. Now, I know why I was compelled to write them - and how they were written. Above all, twenty years on, I now understand them. At the time I wrote them, I certainly didn't and I could only wonder what they meant. With this particular poem, I not only understand it now, I live it - verbatim. I hope you like it! Cheers!

INFINITY

Shimmering lights beckon me to a secret place
Deep within my soul

So easy
So fulfilling
To explore in the safety of myself

Past
Present
Future
Engulf me in my meditation

I lose all comprehension
Of reality around me

Suspended in thought
I am aware only of my being
And carefree in it

No walls to bar me
No doors to lock me
Endless possibilities abound

A wondrous sensation
Rapturous freedom is my glory

An open mind
Behind closed eyes
And I discover
Infinity
