Death, the finality frontier.

Au contraire, mon frere, more medium-rare than half-baked.

Indeed, that trine of light, electric and magnetic forces is of specific interest. Pairing up with the mental, emotional and egoic aspects of self helps us to discern how our subtle bodies react and employ the various manifestations of energy as we experience it. Be it enlightenment, the heat of the moment or magnetic attraction, they all play a role in our never-ending journey.

The orthogonal nature of these components is also of interest. Every lock requires a key and that key must be properly oriented, inserted and turned in order to unlock the passage into that next level. Each force being properly applied in the correct orientation to fit with the requirements of the situation. We only have so many tools, therefore it is a good thing that our complexity gives way to complicity and the application of fundamental principles.

Indeed. By foregoing applicable directives it's apparent that limitations enable the process of implosive recursion to contain themselves indefinitely. Due to said limitations, prosaic injunctions can further augment what is by nature cohesive.

Dig through the Christian friendly chaff for some gold here, an initial accidental click while looking for an old Sheldrake article led me to this website. Life affirming, if a bit wishful sometimes.

The expanding universe appears to be accelerating. What could possibly be driving this expansion at an ever-increasing rate? The current scientific wisdom ascribes this to "dark" matter and "dark" energy. Unknown forces that operate over universal scales to dominate the stellar and galactic landscape.

Not dark, just light. The pressure of presence. Our presence. Information and the entanglement (quantum and otherwise) of knowing the relationship between each and every aspect of our existence. Is sentience spread throughout the universe? From the pervasiveness of this force, it would appear that we are not alone.

Not only our presence but the lingering effect of our passage. With each cycle, we accumulate and promulgate ever greater combinations of knowing and knowledge. A veritable cornucopia. We are the impetus for expansion. With each effort made to connect the dots, we create and co-create ever-widening circles of influence. At some point, these expanding spheres will overlap and we will become aware of our place in the universe as well as how we fit within the whole.

Sailing into the ocean of consciousness, from different directions but with similar intent. Discovery is only part of the process. The application of the expression of our endeavor has been very mutually beneficial. (Resonance is an inherent property of consciousness.)
Perceiving the universe in its glorious reality confers a definite and definitive state of mind. Each step advances our understanding and engages us in the evolutionary process of conscious awareness. It cannot be helped and it cannot be otherwise.
I can credit this site and its contributors with a sea-change of attitude on my part. Exploring the self is the greater part of the exercise. Answers come from within because we are the source of all that is perceived.

I like the notion that ive recently come across that we choose our lives before we are born, and the idea that we come back to earth multiple times in different lives to grow, and further our understanding of ourselves, and reach a higher plane of existence spirit wise.

I did wonder why would somebody choose an abusive or hard life, and just take an easy life, but i understand how those who suffer hardship grow in empathy, and compassion etc.

I dont know how much i can get behind something like that, but its an incredible thing for me personally, and would explain why ive gone through so much shit in my life lol.

Knowing that we have landed in a situation for which we are ideally prepared is part of the process. Figuring out what to do with what we have is another story. It starts with basic principles and branches out into any and every aspect of our existence.
The more arduous the task, the greater the attendant reward.
The easier things are, the clearer it is that progress is being made.
Easy is a relative term. Well done depends on the result. How much difficulty is encountered is a sign that attention needs to be paid to the process.
The shit in our lives is just a sign of the times.
