What "I" find interesting is that from a place of non-judgmental witnessing the larger perspective is given room to enter into awareness. From the gnostic viewpoint one lets go, (steps back) of the apparent self (image) and allows into consciousness the essential being- that which is all in all. From that non-perspective life (and life’s appearances) is a dream.
The dreams and dreamers of life is drawn from all/one, simply, what is and not what seems to be. This is "the peace that passeth understanding". That simply is and that nothing can alter or take away from in any way. So all is well giving emotion full range in the creative experience.
As in quantum levels things are and are not at the same time. The observer has as much to do with "reality" as the observed. As we identify ourselves with limited ideas which are temporary yet useful to a certain point in the daily living process we live in a co-ordination with others who also do likewise. (Mass trance, polarization, societies) So this is who we are and not who we are at the same time. We gaze into a glass darkly –a foggy mirror, sometimes a rose colored one!
All that is is all that is
and not what seems to be
For by it’s very definition
Seeming cannot be
Peace to all here.
Very Interesting Michael……
Yeah…..Non-Judgemental witnessing ….. most important technique in my view that has taken me years but still learning…..what and how exactly……lol
and have so far reached an understanding…… that I "do not interfere" with whatever is happening when I sit to meditate….
it's expanding to daily activities to some extent…..
It's wonderful non-religious way to getting religious……..
Thanks

Yes! I've just posted the third part of my "virtue list" of Honesty, Veracity, and Equanimity; and the third part speaks directly to your point. It's called "The Two Birds." Have a look!

Thanks guys, for your input. I recommend anyone who reads this to check out James link. I have responded there also.
Jatinder nice to meet you and thanks for our new friendship. Isn't it interesting that you have found a "non-religious way to getting religious." It reminds me of the non-seeking way to finding what was always there. And the unlearning process of learning.
It's all so laughable! And I mean that in a nice way!
Greg– science is now showing us that the body the physical is connected to all that is. We are in a sea of plasma, vibrating, resonating, communing with all of creation. So it is little more than a reflection in a mirror compared to our larger cosmic chrict beingness! I believe there is a paradigm shift in collective consciousness on the horizon. Also, I thought this was interesting:

I'm posting that so I can refer to it. And James I'll be using your link often.
Peace to all.
