    So true! In our material dream we have come to believe that we must manipulate to survive and prosper, having forgotten our divine nature: we are children of Creation and as such are inherently sovereign creators ourselves. The name we have given ourselves, hu-mans, reveals the dichotomy: divine-manipulators. Awakening from the dream is gaining the assurance that whatever we ask for shall be given.

    For me assurance grows through observation and understanding; that is my nature. Others may arrive at the same assurance through simple faith. I've spent a lifetime studying reality and the inescapable conclusion is that we live in a holographic universe in which each part contains the whole: all conceivable realities already have been created and surround us, a mere vibrational shift away. Our divine inheritance is claimed by asserting our sovereignty over our own inner state.

    Those immersed in the dream tend to imagine an entity external to themselves which they name God, Creator, Father, Great Spirit, etc., and with whom they seek a relationship, at first mimicking familiar human relationships and all that entails, including pleading, bargaining, demanding, etc. Ideally, the relationship matures until it is no longer a relationship anymore, but an awareness of a presence that feels like self, because it is.

    At the point of Source, the Self and the Infinite are One -- Sun Bear

    Then prayer becomes something entirely different. There is no pleading or demanding but rather precise clarity of conception, strong and steady feeling of attunement, and gratitude that what is conceived already exists and will inevitably be experienced.

    Group prayer, in this understanding, is sychronized intent, reinforcing and amplifying shared desire through cooperation. Some individual freedom is conceded for the sake of love of oneness. Entropy lessens.
    Great post. Thank you.

    This is so visceral true for me in moments that are lengthening.

    As a Youtuber, this video really spoke to me. Its sober and thoughtful presentation is particularly enjoyable. This is Sargon of Akkad.

    Hmm. Looks like I will be joining CW Chanter for a Google hang out a little later. If possible, I will grab the link and post it here when it goes live.

    The podcast ended about 20 minutes ago. It was fun and went for four hours and fifty one minutes. That could make for an onerous viewing session.

    I'll post it here. No guaranties for content but, I thought it went well and stayed interesting for much of it.

    A good follow-up to the above subject would be my new found joy of 'exploring' Kekistan. Something so wittily conceived the irony escapes many. That the Keki's make no line of difference between real and unreal allow the freedom to have a lot of fun. I have laughed quite a few times but, this one had me in tears.

    I have to say, the Kekistan vid was way more watchable than 5 hours of CW Chanter.

    Thanks for the levity, it hit the spot, this morning.

    Some more from Kekistan. The history. A lot of LOTR footage gets used in ways some may find offensive. Best advice, take nothing seriously.

    The ending was a little flat. The beginning was good.

    Looks like that chaos magic has been going dark.
