Answer 1

The absolute most amazing dream-vision I have ever had, happened roughly a year (or so) ago. And, to put it in the most simple terms I can, I experienced "an idea" of "the beginning."

("In the beginning there was the word.")

Well, this "word," as was shown to me, was exactly what you are talking about here: "an idea!" At this point I can no longer remember how this dream-vision started, but i truly felt as though I was in the presence of pure being (God), and that this pure being was showing me "an idea" of creation.

It was then that I realized that what I was experiencing was merely an "idea" of how creation seemed to manifest from "ideas." And how each thought or idea became another thought and idea; and on and on...

And, as I began to watch the myriad of spider webbing ideas expand and growing in this timeless moment, I realized how the One became two... and three... and four... Yet, all still very much One and the same!

I realized that thoughts ("ideas") were the pure and absolute catalyst to creation. Each thought/idea was the parent to a new creation, thought, and idea. And thus, it could be said that in the beginning there was a thought/idea... which gave birth to another... which gave birth to another... and on and on ad infinitum! And this process continued to expand into oblivion.

And, while I was not able to see past our current moment (in time) in this process, of which we are very much an intricate part, I did come to realize the extreme importance of our imaginations. I realized then how we are all "gods" incarnate; co-creators created within this very intricate spider-web of an "idea."

Near the end of this dream-vision I remember being curious about a possible "end" to this "idea" we call Life. It was then that I was shown (or came to the understanding), that the only possible way this all could end, would be if All of Life were to suddenly stop "thinking." If all "ideas" were to cease. And, after I began to ponder and realize how impossible that one particular "idea" was, I woke up!

The craziest thing about this experience, though, was that very moment that I woke up. Right at that moment, I felt as though I had been lifted off my mattress an inch or so, and fell with a jolt right when I opened my eyes. It was pretty startling, as this energy shot through my entire body at that very second. And, as I felt that jolt of energy, I realized that a car alarm had gone of (right outside of my window) at the very same time.

At first I wanted to chalk it up to coincidence, but I just couldn't help but feel there was something much more to it than that. However, I am not sure I understand what that "more" is, even now.

Still learning, I am! =D Thanks for bringing back this memory to the fore front of the mind!

Answer 2

I'm afraid if I had thoroughly thought this through and completely known the consequences I would have probably taken the easy way out and just said no thank you. But then maybe I really didn't have a choice in this either. I mean you are what you are, unless you are not. I have always been considered "eccentric" if I can use a polite word. And this has basically become accepted by most. But, the easy way out...that too would have been another experience...

Answer 3

There is only one Idea!
Tap into it!
Take a big bite!
It's fun being Crazy!
After a while was a long time ago!
This old fool has forgotten everything that was earlier offered as a form of education. Senility is the only answer........

Most of the peers have made the transition, into the "Idea"!

* footnote - I want to shake the hand of the "One", that came up with the "Original Idea".

Answer 4

Hum. I had no one to teach me. Mo mother - she killed herself. No Father - in the Marines and an alcoholic when he got back. No family, just fosters who didn't really care except for me but they did for the check. So, don't lump me in with the rest of what you are trying to make a point of. I am self taught. Blood, sweat, and a whole lot of tears. Agony, defeat, and sorrow. I blame no one, in fact, if I could change it - I would not. I am what I am and I am better than I would have been if I had the perfect life.

Answer 5

It hasn't worked in prepare via fact the unique Marxist foundations of it have in no way been relatively placed into prepare. this form of Communism maximum persons think of of while they pay attention the be conscious Communism is Stalinism which isn't probably Communism in any respect yet particularly authoritarian capitalism like they have in China.

Answer 6

The whole Tin Foil HAt Cult thing is a little difficult to get of the ground.
I blame my Marketing Department Head Mr Jingles the Mouse.

If he doesn't pull his socks up I may have to EAT HIM!!!

Answer 7

You are mistaken. Who I am and what I am was NOT taught me by my peers. Through a long and arduous process of study, reflection, and action, I have figured out who and what I am. What I was taught contradicts in most ways what I now know.

My peers have played a role, but they did not teach me who or what I am, nor did they teach me my religious beliefs. My religion has also come through this long, arduous process of independent investigation of reality.

Try to stop lumping people into one convenient category. It doesn't work, and we draw incorrect conclusions. Thanks.

Answer 8

It was working out pretty well, but I'm having trouble getting the lighter to trigger to burn the string to let the bowling ball fall on to the ramp to make the chicken flap her wings. After that I should be able to enjoy toast in the morning.

Answer 9

I have my own ideas, different from those that I was taught. I have always been different though similar in appearance and behavior. It's worked well as camouflage to keep others from squashing me like a bug. THAT would be something to howl about. You do that soooo well!

Answer 10

Wow, too much to tell, too much to say, & I am stuck with only words here, how they fail us. I had to chuck my great idea, it's over there somewhere with my picture of myself, my understandings of how things really work, and all the words that before sounded so sweet. I spent years building a understanding of how things work, who & what we are, etc, etc, etc, to finally see that it has but one purpose, to be the platform I leap from. I have no idea where it is I will land.....
