Hi All, I was always a fan of Dharma and Greg and wondered what the little cards at the end of the show were.....I always knew they were a form of freestyle writing, but could never read the entire card in the 2 seconds it was shown, and never thought to record and freeze frame so I could read them later. Well, no worry!  Apparently there ...

If you turn on the television, power is represented by money and a gun. A while back, I was taking a walk and I had an information cluster (mentioned in a previous blog) about power. It was the spontaneous knowing that the individual is power. That is, you don’t acquire power, you don’t gain power, you don’t add to your power. You are ...

Hi Marcel, Ah!, an Eliasian!. You say... This process of noticing and accepting ones belief systems is quite difficult for anyone, for the mere reason that we seem to be so embedded in them. They sure beat the hell out of me too! Yes, I know Elias's world view!. I kind of see myself as a sponge, soaking up what I think is the elixir ...

Hi Tom, Thanks for the latest installment of your exegesis on Seth's NPR. Nicely done! RE: the quote “according to your energy, power and intensity, you can help change the beliefs of many people, of course.” First, I have never liked the term unSethian, it hints that there's one final correct interpretation and is often used as a smokescreen ...

I was talking to a neighbor recently, and she was telling me about an award winning documentary she’d seen on global warming, and she asked me if I’d seen it. I said that I hadn’t, and she said that she would loan me the DVD because I had to see it, and I said, “I won’t watch it because I don’t believe in global warming.” Her jaw dropped ...

Hi Tom, Thanks for your latest summary. ''The plot thickens'' a bit, and Seth also gives four basic practices in which to directly test out the waters. I can't stress how important it is to DO these practices for a period of time. Seth is less prescriptive about the particulars, but we're leading up to the core axiom of ''you get what you ...

In my imperfect understanding, thought does indeed create your reality, but not thought alone.  Thought works with emotion and belief.  Now Elias confuses things for me a little when he says that emotion is how Essence communicates with us (I think Kris says something similar)  and thought is a translation or a reflection of the ...

Don writes: ''I would like to see the public come to the realization that extremism, which is only a stone's thrown away from fundamentalism, is not an Islamic phenomenon only.'' I enjoyed watching -- free, on Google Video -- the three-part BBC documentary by Adam Curtis called _The Power of Nightmares_. This explores the parallel histories of ...
