[@JanoDo]

@@AurelienCarnoy I don't think he (Terence) is talking about defining individuals. More so he's talking about change in community, or even the human kind. We need language in order to transfer information with each other, and we need that shared information in order to conceive transformation. Definition has nothing to do with the idea trying to being pass here, given that transformation it's actually about changing the form something/someone/anything has, and therefore transcending the limitations of definition.

I wonder how David Bohm would have added to these conversations. Bringing in his knowledge of quatum physics and spiritual take on it. It's worth thinking about 🤔

[@okafka5446]

Bohm and McKenna - it is something to wonder about - maybe McKenna would have incited Bohm into wilder speculations, and vice versa. Reminds me to have another try at reading 'Wholeness and the Implicate Order', maybe try and read 'The Invisible Landscape' along side it, see where that leads. :-) I've been too bound up with politics and political theory recently. Thanks Michael :-)

[@StanKindly]

@@okafka5446 It's safe to say McKenna knew of Bohm's work, i.e. Rupert has mentioned meetings with Bohm etc... Science and Spirituality have been coming closer and closer for years - especially with Quantum and many of the obvious/logical ( say Teleological) outcomes. Tell me what insights you get after reading again. I tended to pursue Einstein, Tesla and Bucky Fuller who were all heavy on Imagination ( key word) as their guiding light and seems to be born out of/in Nature herself (I.e. laws are always subject to change regarding Nature). Finding Bohm ( Feynman too) more recently has been refreshing 🌲🙏💕

If and or when the mind can be use as a mirror (instead of an organ for thinking) a wondrous phenomena will occur. There are four faculties of the mind that must be used. These four faculties when used in a composite way, namely, imagination, will, feeling and knowing that can bring forth a new creation upon the ever on-going Creation. A new creation within the universe. In order to do this these four faculties must be cleared so that no thoughts or images are present. Just a kind of clear black mirror. Now this same mind will function as a mirror upon which the most glorious states-of-consciousness can be projected and thus seen and brought into being. Namely, we can be seen as already existing in the glory of the Kingdom of God. In short, Fully Ascended, alive and still on Earth. You'll like it once you get into the swing of it. "Why?" Because Death is no longer necessary. Transmission: A.T.O..M.

[@PrecisionEst]

The immense improbability that modern science rests on but cares not to discuss is this the belief that the universe sprang from nothing in a single moment If you can make that leap, it's very hard to see what you couldn’t believe. That is almost the limiting case of credulity. :) McKenna
