The theory just now goes something like this...
Clouds of consciousness are something we all have. There are various levels of these clouds that surround us and, should we wish, and open up our minds enough, we can tap into a lot of them. There are various levels between each of the four levels mentioned below, but for now I will write briefly about the main four clouds.
Self consciousness - These are the clouds which immediately make up who we are, what we think about ourselves and the world around us. Imagine a band of clouds tightly surrounding your head. This is where the self consciousness cloud lies. These clouds contain everything that encompasses your current reality, everything you think about, everything you believe, everything you believe about the world and other people. It almost blinds you as you are only seeing, thinking and feeling what is immediately in front of you. You have not formulated any original ideas about the world and decided to question your life. Your ego resides here also; everything you do is for the benefit of yourself.
Awakening consciousness - This is the second level in this theory. In this stage you have started to question some of your beliefs about the world, yourself and the people around you. You are not operating from a self point of view you are starting to think about the bigger picture and to help others and to find ways to be able to do this. You can access a higher aspect of yourself, but may not necessarily understand it completely. I believe this is what is happening in the world at the moment, there are more and more people at this level of consciousness and it is culminating in a mass awakening. More and more of us are starting to believe there is something more to life and something more to our minds than was previously imagined. I am not talking about organised religion, the real religion is when you’ve found GOD within yourself, GOD is not an entity with laws, GOD is a belief within yourself and a connection to other states of consciousness. In this state of consciousness you are starting to believe that you create your own world, you create and manifest the things and people around you. It is the beginning of what Maslow would call Self actualization. www.stevenaitchison.co.uk/blog/2006/11/10/123/

Everybody should look at what Lakota has done...
Taken a very difficult, adverse, even hostile situation, and no doubt threatening as well...
...Faced it head on...not with anger but with stillness...
And created a peaceful resolution, connection, and awareness, along with closure and satisfaction.
Thats Alchemy in its finest.
I will pray to be that strong.

Quote of the Day
LILLY'S LAW:
"In the province of the mind, what is believed to be true is true or becomes true, within certain limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the province of the mind, there are no limits."
"The centre of the cyclone is that rising quiet central low-pressure place in which one can learn to live eternally. Just outside of this Centre is the rotating storm of one's own ego, competing with other egos in a furious high-velocity circular dance. As one leaves centre, the roar of rotating wind deafens on more and more as one joins this dance. One's centred thinking-feeling-being, one's own Satoris, are in the centre only, not outside. One's pushed-pulled driven states, one's anti-Satori modes of functioning, one's self-created hells, are outside the centre. In the centre of the cyclone one is off the wheel of Karma, of life, rising to join the Creators of the Universe, the Creators of us.
Here we find that we have created Them who are Us." -- John C. Lilly

Xen’Chi
There is another type of "Enlightenment." This form of enlightenment is entitled "XEN," beginning with an elongated, capitol "X" which represents the Cross, and is the Greek letter for Chi, which represents Christ. This is the Christian form of enlightenment attained through the Savior Jesus Christ (John 3:16).

The angels, demons, etc, and the xtian god and satan, and all the other gods and goddesses and spirits and entities - they are all of the jinn, or 'like unto' the jinn (no bodies) -- Djinn and Ifrit
Thoughts are like the leaves of the tree that blow in the breezes changing every second and are impermanent. They do not last through the seasons. The tree grows strong and is sustained by the great forces of earth, water, sky and sun. The great message here is thoughts like leaves clothe the tree but neither are leaves the tree nor thoughts you. As you awaken in this self, like an infant you are born to new experiences, new thoughts, ideas, beings and hear the voices their to assist you personally. These are your guides. It is a time to be quiet and let those around you, those beings or angels carry you and teach you the ways of a new dimension..... in the spiritual realm, entities do not have to be within your immediate area to influence or to communicate. they are masters at this. i believe they do however have to be in the area to be felt by your physical body, though i'm not sure on that. i don't know how all this works. those of you who can feel spiritual presence know what i'm talking about when i say physical sensations. you can for sure pick up empathically from afar in the physical realm... i.e. emotions, etc. that i'm 100% certain of.
"Modern man - that's us now -- feels obligated to be punctual and conservative of time, tribal man bore the responsibility of keeping the cosmic clock supplied with energy. But electric or ecological man (man of the total field) can be expected to surpass the old tribal cosmic concern with the Africa within." That is McLuhan at his obscure best. -- McLuhan's Thesis: We live Cool but Think Hot

It’s about empathy.
I volunteered for police victims services many years ago, and it was a huge influence on how I deal with people who have had traumatic experiences. For many people, inexplicable occurrences are quite unnerving. Witnesses come first at PSICAN, and confidentiality is held in high regard. It’s about documenting people’s experiences, seeing if a natural explanation can be found, and letting these people know that they are not alone in what they have experienced. This is highly rewarding and leads me to my next point... Pity sex' was a term most lik
