Theos-Talk Archives (October 2001 Message tt00341)

That reminds me of a joke...

Why did the women cross the road?


Now I'm not gonna give the punchline coz I'm sure everyone's heard it
before.

But in case people here still don't get my MO I'm gonna help them with
this one....

Clue - how are women portayed in the media in both the east and west?

How much does our 'PC' society really reflect true social attitudes?

Is Naomi Wolf in Sheeps clothing?

How do you measure progress?



Mental mastication matter

Master me

||Jerry: "Another way to put it might be that a mystical 
|experience is in 
||the form of new and deeper states of consciousness, even though the 
||senses and outward experience of things may still be physical plane 
||earth. A psychical experience is in the form of altered or different 
||sense experiences, perhaps of subtler aspects of physical or astral
||earth. With the psychical, we see different things and may go
||to other places, but our basic consciousness is the same. It's
||the same "us" that is going there and seeing those things.
||With the mystical, we may still be here and seeing the same
||things, but we're greater within, with a wider scope of
||understanding, with perhaps entirely new ways of appreciating
||life in our wider consciousness."
||
||Maybe we don't "go" anywhere.
||
||Jerry: "can know the taste of an apple by reading about it. And also, 
||they admit to being afraid to eat it"
||
||It reminds me a bit of primitive tribes that live in the midst of a 
||beautiful forest/nature, but are afraid to walk in it at 
|night because 
||of the "gosts" out there. They demonize the world, not 
|realizing that 
||if there are "gosts",or spiritual beings, out there they 
|couldn't harm 
||one if you are present minded.
||
||Jerry: "We experience materiality directly, and we experience dreams 
||directly, and so how does one know that direct spiritual 
|experience is 
||any more reliable? " One is good for this, and the other is good for 
||other aspects of life, and yes they are both limited on a 
|"real" life 
||basis it seems. But at least are to be considered as "normal" in our 
||current condition. Nevertheless the physical (or the lower Manas seems
||a more accurate thesophical term) seems more familiar to many
||theosophists then spiritual "experiences"(and of course there
||is also discussion of what is "spiritual"), wich some
||demonize, and that is a dead end street. Just as you breath
||air, drink water (any long term breatharians on the list ?),
||and eat at least some, food, applying "experience" exploring
||consciousness and self .helps one to be a more balanced person
||it seems, plus adding a good dose of scepticism and trying to
||check things out helps a lot . In other words to stay with
||your two feet on the ground seems an advisable way to go as
||long one has a body.
||
||Only reading books, of watever creed is indeed a 
|limitation, and can 
||get you confused or stuck. Creed can also mean scientific creed of 
||course, but also in science, there is a lot of good research 
|going on 
||that can be looked up and can be made to be useful.
||
||We live in a great world/universe, why not wake up to it and 
|enjoy it.
