No, I never saw or heard of Lucy.

Lucy Official Trailer

Looks great!

Thank you for the site and book recommendations. I don't see the quote, though, maybe the page has changed?

Excellent summary from there:

*Nods*

In fact I've been listening to Joseph Brenner's The Impersonal Life (free audiobook here on YouTube) and noting the similarities with The Power of Now. Though, the Impersonal Life was written about a century ago.

(Fun trivia: At one point in the 60's, Elvis kept his car trunk loaded with copies of The Impersonal Life and distributed them freely to whoever would take a copy.)


Hi faith. Its been a long time. The link you have given above is the one. Full spiritual reality is given there. Ofcourse whether that drug is capable of doing it is neither important here nor true I guess. But what she has told after transforming is all there for us to experience.

Its not a quote. It's, I AM THAT. It's the name of the book. Eckharte's experience was the falling of the body-mind duo. So in this state we become AWARE of the Spirit which is always there. In India this state is described as the detachment of the inner coconut shell from the outer one when it dries within. It is there and yet it is detached. We can shake it like a rattle and it will make a sound (the inner shell of the dried coconut).

Elvis story is interesting.

Faith, thank you! I will do so, I am still discovering him! I love his videos, they make me so happy. Not just because of what he is saying, but his whole presence. Definitely very different from reading his book, which was translated into Romanian and perhaps lost some of his energy. Anyway, since you mentioned your astrological connection with him, I was curious and so I looked up his chart (I vote Virgo rising for him! haha) and discovered some very interesting things, which in a way describe my fascination with him and how I found him in the first place!

-his Sun-Mars opposition is on my Vertex axis; they also make trines and sextiles with 60% of my chart (obviously fated and unexpected!)
-his NN is conjunct my Venus (maybe that's why he makes me so happy!)
-his Jupiter-Uranus opposition (I have the conjunction) makes a wedge with my Mercury in Aries (definitely can say a consciousness expansion occurred since I read the book); if we allow wider orbs, his opposition sits on my Nodal axis.


There are other things, of course, and not all of them positive, BUT I find these three very powerful and definitory. I probably should also mention his Chiron exactly opposite my Chiron and on my MC.

I feel different since I "met" him.

Thanks for that "explanation," Love&Light. That makes sense to me.... coconut, inner-coconut! From there there's a cosmic existence to be seen.

As far as Lucy trailer, and about scientists telling us we only us 10% of our brains, and not using the rest?

(Would LOVE to see that movie! Looks really interesting!)

I think that scientists are caught in their 'box' of thinking.

I have an inkling that we already use the other portions of our brains in ways they 'haven't even thought' to look at yet.

It's not about our Brains working at 10%--- rather, it's about how the scientists only know 10% of how the brain really works.

Faith!... {{ }} You are a Fine and amazing woman. Your thoughts in that post you mentioned me are really really excellent, showing such ability to actually apply what you learn through the various philosophies you explore. That is what counts the most in life. That you (and all of us) can learn from what we are into, and grow into Better Humans as a result.

I see you trying to help others. And you take such Beautiful self-responsibility too, when you think you've flubbed. That's called Leadership and Role-Modeling, Faith. What is there not to Love and admire about someone built with Character like that!

{{Embracing you in my energetic fields today.}}

You are an Awesome Being.... AND A BETTER WRITER???!!!!!!! ~duh! hellooo, OWN it!!!

*choking on the incense, and it smells sooo wonderful!!... Thank you*

What Faith said (about mirage). You remind me of the words in a song: "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine." You really shine.

omg... Had to get my tissues out after reading your comments! Thank you soooo much for the songs, and such Kind words! {{ }}

Again, Faith-- Your insights are touching the center of fierce!!!, and it's so grounding. I personally think it's amazing that people can actually try to message and communicate with each other with all that happening from our incredibly crafted minds. Such layerings! I agree with you so whole-heartedly here. It is so special to be able to have the honor, to share in your perceptions and processes. This blesses me, and I 'feel' that happening inside my OWN self-processes too, as a result.

What a privilege it is, to Hold-Space and share Consciousness, with you.

*ahem*--- I want to ADD!!!!!!, ~~ that one must NOT give in to the temptation to add the toxin of 'condemnation' (self-condemnation) INTO that mix of insight, because blaming yourself/ourselves -- (simultaneously talking to me, blaming my own self for things) -- WITH punishments-added, can cause us to stumble.

... No! Simply Breathe through it.
Tell yourself, say to everyone too--- that it's okay! It's really really okay. Truly. Everyone. Don't fall for the Condemnation-Traps. It does not Belong. We drop that. It was not in the original intent and plan for Humanity.

Condemnation becomes a stumbling block to progress, rather than a stepping-stone into a Higher understanding and appreciation of 'what is'.

It is blessed and a relief to just allow all that rot and poison to let go-- just completely let go, and let that flow down into the drain, and out into the sea of forgiveness and forgetfulness-- the Neptunian oceans.... (water.... off the ducks back, taking it away).

We HAVE to assert to our self (and support each other too) in affirming and saying that WE are Loved, and Accepted & Acceptable, and Valuable--- loose and unconditionally.

We already BE our Best Self, inside. Allow it.

We have to let any 'others' off the hook, remain simple.

And MOSTLY, we must let our OWN self off the hook of blame and shame. That's soooo toxic to let hold that in, 'into' your deep innerself.

*coconut-guy*

Inner coconut, Outer coconut! (laughing)

It's all about the Love-Spaces you can discover, inhabit and fill--- the divine stillness found Inbetween?!

Have a great day!
