My three-dimensional body is weightless and extremely like a mobile new state of being.I'm feeling a little pain from a left heart catheterization procedure,where my physician chose to use the Angio-Seal Closure Device from St. Jude Medical. The Angio-Seal Device made of three absorbable components a small anchor,collagen and a suture. A delivery system allowed my physician to guide the anchor into my artery through the hole created during the procedure. The anchor was drawn against the wall of my artery while the suture allowed the collagen to compact to create a secure seal over the entry point. Anyway...I saw my body from all directions at once from in front,behind, and from the sides.I saw aspects to my features I had never known before adding a wholeness a completeness to my rear view mirror. This may be why I didn't recognize myself at first after I saw a body lying on my bed. As I got closer to the body I was curious about who it was and immediately I descended toward it. There was nothing unnatural about the experience. I was above my bed hovering near the head board. My sense of freedom was limitless I felt a s-u-r-g-e of energy!It was almost as if I felt a release inside of me and my free spirit was suddenly drawn out through my chest and pulled upward as if by a giant magnet.So there is nothing to worry about being metaphorical because it' fascinating to have these kind of metaphorical dream like stated embracing of the light. The little pain I felt from the Angio-Seal device only moments ago now was no longer discomforting at all.My attention went back to my body where I had realized I was having an out of body experience and I felt an urgency to tell Beliefnet. The expression came to be that I sensed great spirituality,knowledge,and wisdom So,I'm passing my experience to another generation of 2012.This has been with me for "eternities"where I'm fully trying to understand.I had a difficult time comprehending the concept of eternity,let alone eternities.Eternity to me had always been in the future but this experience had been with me for eternities. As these scenes unfolded in my mind and I saw images in the back of my mind of a time long ago of an existence before my life right here on earth of my relationship with these out of body experiences,I got excited to know the fact of a pre-earth life sealed in my mind a "rebirth" into a greater life of understanding and knowledge that stretched forward and backward through time....

The concept of being one with all living things is simple yet profound. Honestly, I never gave it a thought until I was at my lowest point, feeling nothing, with nothing to give. It was at that moment I was embraced. I didn't get it at first, but over the years I grew and understood. I've written about the experience through fictional character Mary Corrigan in part II of my novel Reading To Jane. Don't know if I've given the beauty of the connection justice, but I sure tried.

Was Jesus an "awakened" individual? One of the great mysteries of the New Testament is what was Jesus doing during the majority of his life that we know nothing about. Leaving aside the story of his birth, the only information we have about the younger years of Jesus comes from the Gospel of Luke who describes an occasion when a precocious twelve-year-old Jesus speaks in the temple, impressing his elders. The Bible is then silent about the following twenty year period of Jesus’ life until he reappears on the scene around the age of thirty when he is baptized by John and begins his ministry. 



 What happened during these missing years of Jesus’ life? What experiences might have shaped Jesus into the man he became? Why do we find so many parallels between the teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism and the teachings of Jesus, who was considered a subversive in his Roman and Jewish community? Why do the contemplative practices of Jesus, which seem to confuse his disciples, seem so similar to Eastern meditative techniques? Could a clue to these missing years come from a controversial discovery over a century ago by a Russian journalist? In my new novel, THE BREATH OF GOD, I example the implications of this journalist’s historical discovery through a fictional story of suspense, mystery, and mysticism.

Hi, I'm Misty... just joined this group tonight... looks like a good subject.

I am so intrigued! I just joined your group, I believe I can learn so much, the concept described in what I read seems to be just what I am yearning for.Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this group!!

... BEING .. BEING OURSELF BEING . U MAN BEING . so strange how we would consider that the Creator is only the Creator of Light so very strange how one limits the Intelligence not only of the BEINGS OURSELF but of the BEINGS who Created OURSELF as a BEING .. .. as within many is darkness as well as light . we need both . the Creator must have BOTH to have them as entities with us . no doubt there is some kind of separation just as MAN male & female had some kind of separation to be able to perform conception & birth the progression of BEINGS as U MANS . through the Inspired Spiritual Powers of Sensuality . with the Revealed Inspired Carnal Knowledge so as to be able to perform such vitally beautiful acts for creation of the seeds of LIFE ...

.... BEING . BEING OURSELF . U MAN BEING . strange how BEING is such an unidentifiable word . yet fills the place where once was only space .. .. we as U MAN BEINGS are definitely in some way an Entity of all that has been Created . our dependence on all other creations is obvious to some degree we need all Creation to remain for our personal success with growth development & progression .. .. though we all are in a RACE to obtain the Ultimate . by Intelligence with Spiritual Power we need to know . therefore knowledge is vital to our Existence so as to be able to exercise wisdom in all things that are pertaining to & regarding ALL forms of LIFE .. as all LIFE is relative to our Existence and Progression ...

These words are for the world at large-- in other words they are not directed in any way at this group... they are just things I've been feeling as I interact with both people of light and people of darkness as a social worker: Those who love, live in love. Those who choose open hearts over closed hearts know open spirit. Those who choose condemnation will find darkness, and those who choose unconditional love and acceptance will find light. God is ALLLIGHT, so what person believes that condemning others in the name of God will be rewarded with light? Condemnation and separation are by their nature dark ways of seeing others or oneself. How does God see us all? How does God want us to see ourselves? Obviously the answer is, "In the LIGHT." What is difficult to see about all of this? Let's all walk together loving one another in the light. Let's celebrate the greater whole that we all are together. It will feel so much better than continuing lying to ourselves and one another that we are separate creatures.
