Be well..

Yep, and so-called enlightenment or cosmic consciousness (or a hundred other words for 'it') is a real easy thing to idealize and convince ourselves that is somehwre else, or waiting for us in the future , if only ...

If only doing everything right and behaving a certain way was what it took ,
well then, it would be easy....but wait, it IS easy , because it's what we are , it is .... that which is . So, when we're thinking about how we're not there yet, we make that so, for the time we're thinking it. I just love the paradox , because being there can be as simple as realizing and remembering that we are there ; we couldn't not be there , we can only forget or refuse to see that we are . Quite an effective delusion .... or is it ?

I just had a thought - I'd be scared to never experience Cosmic Consciousness!
Ha!

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Maybe you wouldn't, Miss H.... but the subconscious mind has fears the heart knows nothing of.

It's understandable Curt to be frightened because the ordinary mind (ego) to some wants you to remain within the material world .

Letting go of one world / dimension In order to enter/visit another so to speak can take time to adjust (lol) .

Perfect, bec I just found an old thread started by Laura about when we have a fear - take it apart as we would a watch - thus, understanding the fear!

Thank you very much, everyone.
It's thrilling to be recognized in this way.
In the universe that we are talking about, small is big.
"It's the little things that count". I believe that I am able to match real for real.
This is truly a communion, a communication, an exchange of reality.
Camping out at the edge, I am, being, close to you.
I feel close to you.
But I am speaking as an individual to a group.
I don't dare speak to anyone as an individual in this thread yet.
There could be a disaster.
I am afraid.

This is beautiful beyond belief.

A personal experience: I found that the consciousness in cosmic consciousness is the consciousness, and that the consciousness is loving and that it is love.
