SENDING AND PERCEIVING THOUGHT

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

A very dear friend and I were discussing our mutual successes and failures on the subject of Telepathy (from the ancient Greek, tele meaning “distant”, pathe meaning “passion, affliction, experience, as in the word “empathy”).  I suspect that telepathy is very difficult to do because, as spiritual beings, we inhabit a body that is dependent on physical universe perceptions for communication (site, sound, touch, smell, hearing, etc.)  We have become dependent on receiving eternal information THROUGH the body.  We do not use our spiritual senses to give and receive communication as often as we might if we did not have physical perception.  It has been observed that many animals (dolphins, whales, elephants, dogs, etc.) seem to possess more sophisticated ability to communicate with each other telepathically.  Humans are not as good at this because we use spoken language as a substitute.  Humans think they are superior to the animals because we can use language.  It fact this may be a DISABILITY!

There is a very interesting fellow named Rupert Sheldrake who has done research about animal telepathy.

Perhaps this research will be useful to you.  Send me your thoughts on the subject, telepathically or physically.

LAOTZU, IS THAT YOU?

LAO-TZU, IS THAT YOU ?

Without seeking, one may know all under heaven;
Without finding, one may know the way of heaven.
The wise man knows without searching,
Understands without thinking, accomplishes without acting.

To know when one does not understand is a virtue;
Failing to know that one does not understand is an error.
One becomes more perfect each time an error is corrected.
But One who knows but does not act accordingly, does not know

Be honest with those who are honest. Also be honest
With those who are dishonest; thus is honesty attained.
All beings as basically good. However, prevent those who
do evil from harming others for even they are basically good.

What separates goodness and badness ?
What difference is there between yes and no ?
What distinguishes beauty and ugliness ?
Front and rear join in the center.
Being and non-being are a circle of decision.

The way of heaven conquers without war,
Speaks little but answers well, is always present
Without being summoned, is not rushed but is well planned.
The wise man is skilled in all of his undertakings.

He who is skilled at counting needs no counting devices.
He who is fluid in speech needs no script to guide him.
A man of skill practices skill and conquers reality.
A man who fails practices failure and is conquered.

Walls form and support a room, yet the space between them is most important.
A pot is formed of clay, yet the space formed thereby is most useful.
Action is caused by the force of nothing on something,
just as the nothing of spirit animates the flesh.

One suffers great afflictions because one has a body.
Without a body what afflictions could one suffer?
When one cares more for the body than for the spirit
One becomes the body and looses the way of heaven.

He who looks will not see it; he who listens will not hear it;
He who gropes will not grasp it.

WHO IS “THEY”?

The last real president in the US was JFK.  He wrote his own speeches.  “They” killed him because “they” didn’t want us to hear what he had to say.   The question we need to answer is “who is they?”. JFK answers the question in his own words…
