<p>Nigel, you've hit the nail on the head. That is what many masters of mindfulness speak of. It's why the buddhists speak also of a period that happens when one practices deep meditation regularly where we start to spontaneously observe 'supernatural phenomena' or experience 'enhanced perception' or what appears to be 'extrasensory' perception, and that it's important not to be distracted by this process, but continue on one's practice.

<p>Nigel, you've hit the nail on the head. That is what many masters of mindfulness speak of. It's why the buddhists speak also of a period that happens when one practices deep meditation regularly where we start to spontaneously observe 'supernatural phenomena' or experience 'enhanced perception' or what appears to be 'extrasensory' perception, and that it's important not to be distracted by this process, but continue on one's practice. In many ways 'greater reality' is also just 'greater illusion'.. if we buy into the new experiences as even more concrete than the illusions we left behind, we're simply accepting a new paradigm of illusions.</p>
<p>We are co-creating all of our reality via our attention, and inattention.. mind boggling.. so leave mind behind! :)</p>
<p>Easier said than done.. I don't practice hard, or worry about escaping illusion much. If I'm creating it, if its happening, it serves a purpose, and so I'll just attend to what happens as it happens. </p> Beautiful metaphoric imagery…tag:templeilluminatus.ning.com,2011-10-12:6363372:Comment:11042672011-10-12T20:08:44.343ZLeila Ravenhttps://templeilluminatus.ning.com/profile/0tggrsouvtnfn

<p>RaibearT Just like we do not see the colour ultraviolet because we do not harvest pollen and nectar from flowers, but since it is relevant to the existance of bees and birds.. they do. We experience only what is relevant to our own existence. There is far more out there though, than just visual light spectrums we can't see like ultraviolet and infrared. Our world is many layers richer than this, with many dimensions and elements far beyond our perception. The hidden world is all around us.…</p>
<p>RaibearT Just like we do not see the colour ultraviolet because we do not harvest pollen and nectar from flowers, but since it is relevant to the existance of bees and birds.. they do.

Our world is many layers richer than this, with many dimensions and elements far beyond our perception. The hidden world is all around us. Our very senses and sensory organs, our very physicality creates our reality in that it defines it's perception of it based on what is necessary for survival of the organism we are.</p>
<p>My mind is full and busy, yet still and deep and quiet.. an ocean, right now, it's swimming.. I'm swooning. I should take a nap and let some other parts of consciousness indulge awhile.
