Is there an underlying ebb and flow to asking and answering the deeper spiritual questions?

Question

For those who like to dive below the surface. Is there a rhythm, cycle, or tide effect you've noticed when you're participating here? In other words, does that 'sense of knowing' (whatever you might call it) that you rely on for your questions and answers come and go like the tide? Is there a best time for asking or answering? Do you stand under the light perpetually or as the world turns? (dark to light, light to dark, dark to light) What's your pattern? Are you aware of a rhythm? Is it hourly, weekly, monthly, yearly, or at your command anytime you desire? Are you aware of the rhythms and cycles of other Avatars? Are there others here that you walk, run, dance or 'fight' in time with or do you follow the beat of a different dummer? I'm talkng about those times when the knowledge and words seem to flow out effortlessly. Those times when there's so much inspiration that volumes could be written. Or am I just imagining it?

Don't stare intensely at the questions. Relax, wonder, and notice.

Answer 1

I find that to be the case....I don't know if there is a particular rhythm for me, but it does ebb and flow for me, havn't been posting much lately, because I am sick with a cold, and just plain don't feel like being "deep" lately... more often than not, I post in the early morning while having coffee though...I'm more likely to be online in general in the winter, right now I have a heavier workload.... I haven't been here all that long, but starting to notice patterns of some of the avatars.... I don't think you are imagining it, but I havn't been doing this long enough to pick up on a specific pattern, some days I find the flow, sometimes I don't...... Some days there seems to be a theme or pattern to the questions also, and the general attitude or feel of the board as a whole....

Answer 2

Usually my inspiration comes with questions I find interesting, when I'm stirred with compassion, whim or humor.
As to cycles, certainly, there are many: yearly, monthly, weekly, daily. The Sun, the Moon and all the planets and stars affect us.
I come to believe that if we take a long period of time and observe the flow of the universe versus the activities of mankind, there will be many surprising coincidences.

The best time for me to write is late at night, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Doesn't mean I don't do it at other times, but I feel most comfortable during the specified time.

As to others' Avatars, there are too many of them and I cannot follow this many schedules :)

Answer 3

No, it's not imagined that you sense and see a ebb, flow and rhythm to the set here. With me, words do flow effortlessly...it's natural to me.

When you mentioned the hourly, weekly, monthly, yearly thing . . . I would think that in regards to " yearly " that depending on the time of year, holidays, summer, deep winter etc. that those environments might effect the mind set of a person.,.thus their questions / answers.

And...I will reveal this . . .With my being a woman...I do experience p.m.s. now and then...the ebbs and tides of a woman...heaven help us. On occasion that leaves me feeling less patient, more annoyed with things...and that at times has effected my postings here in that I might express a less than patient view on someones question.

T.M.I ..? Spiritually and with interest my postings are expressed honestly, openly and freely. On few occasions, that I spoke of, I might have expressed more " bottom line " and abrasive...which is not really like me as I'm really a sweetheart. Those other times...it's the p.m.s. influence...Sorry.

Maybe I should be responsible and not post here during those few days ? . . . Don't drink and drive. How 'bout . . .Don't be experiencing p.m.s. and go online. ?

Answer 4

So much of what we are, remains below the surface of our being...it is our source...where we dwell in every moment of our lives. (some consciously, some subconsciously)

And, within this space of being, we are all on the same level... talking, learning, growing, being... There is no differences between us, only pure and loving awareness and understanding.

When we come into this physical world -- everyday -- we try and speak of this awareness and understanding, in hopes that others will hear our words and feel the same as us. This physical world makes us feel seperate from the rest, and it causes us to try and latch on to anything that feels like ourselves. We tend to feel measured by those we come into contact with (and we are). That is the human aspect of us, the physical animal in us.

But, when we reach for that deeper level of life and love within us, this seperation dissolves, and we no longer fear fear itself. We grow into this ebb and flow you speak of, and become our own rhythm within it. Once we have attained our own rhythm, though, we realize that it really is not our own, but something much grander. This is the point we let go, and flow.

Thus, we should always strive to keep our thoughts on the highest level, because those around us will gain, always, as they, in some ingenious way, measure how we are intending ourself. Those we come into contact with, those who perceive us even from a distance at a deeper conscious level, at a soul level one might say, do ‘read us and our intentions.

See the flow... Live and Be the flow... Relinquish the flow... Be...

Answer 5

I hope this is not imagination.

As far back as I can remember in this lifetime....I could "just know things".

I didn't question it, because I didn't realize it was not a normal attribute that everyone had.

As I aged, I became more aware, and I became aware that I had a natural gift. I wanted to know why I had it, what it was "labelled", and if anyone else, had a similar ability.

I have an innate ability to "feel energy". I don't know how it's done, I don't know why it occurs more often in certain circumstances....but I sense things.

The times, when I over-think things....I block the natural energies.

Peace and Love and Respect to all!

Answer 6

I do perceive it as a tide, that is why I call it the Flow. It is of course universal.

Anything that is done at about the same time, whether each day, or once a week, sets up a concentration of energy, that stays there, "waiting" for you to return to it. I come here mostly in the early morning, every morning.

Your question(s) speak of opposites/divisions/levels, but there are none. We perceive it as such, because we have hypnotized ourselves to think in such terms...but what we call "Thinking", is not thinking.

Light is what we are. It is everything we are, including something to "stand under".

Sometimes, I think I follow a different band.

Yes, volumes...I sense them; sometimes, as I write, I sort of "go away", barely cognizant of what I'm writing, then I "come to" and see what I wrote, and it always is something gorgeous, delicious, powerful, from the deeper part of me...

Answer 7

The only rhythm I see in R&S is constant change.

To that, am always thank ful for :)

Some days the answers come easy, thats when am around here.

Somedays they dont, then I dont even spend any time here, but just spend on my own contemplating.

Its not easy being a human...and sometimes, I just wish we could live without having to think so much, but just knowing what to do next.

Answer 8

You have inspired me, and I thank you. Beautifully written.

I am always looking for rhythms, and only answer when moved to. Sometimes silly, sometimes heartfelt, and there are times when I am inspired to write volumes- at which point, I pick up my journal. My volumes are so abstract, they make so much sense in the moment, but I think only to me....

I would add, there are times when I come across a question of sincerity, and I have been able to add a bit to assist that person in their quest...I love those moments of connecting, of humanity, of being able to get out of the way in my head and respond from my heart. It's authentic.

Answer 9

Sunman confident, now which you have reported it surely! i replaced into under the radar for awhile because of the fact I have been given busy with my corporation and there have been way too many questions which of course have been stupid. I grew to become off my alerts and merely appeared on the a number of greater smart questions. a minimum of those i chanced on exciting. i replaced into additionally blocked with the aid of one or 2 purchasers who chanced on my heritage or solutions to no longer their liking. I have been given style of discouraged. So, I neglected out on a number of super questions. So what's diverse now? i'm looking many greater questions that are fairly exciting and as you place it inspirational. i think of it must be a phenomena that we are unaware of. The ebb and flow! thank you for an exciting question. desire to verify many greater.

Answer 10

I not only notice an ebb and flow in my own inspirations (affected by many complex factors), but the board itself goes through cycles with regard to its treatment of me. I usually amass about one Best Answer a day on average, but I haven't had one in 4-5 days now. I notice this cycle repeats on an irregular basis. Chaos theory might begin to address it, but I think of my part as one set of feet in a great cyberdance...
