It's downright awful out there

43. Kimmers,

this is so hard to address via keyboard.
I know nothing, I know a little astrology and have heard many theories of the Allness. I, like you, am very very Aquarian so I am always trying to put the picture together.

Of late, though, I am learning from A Course in Miracles and many, many other Eastern sources, that the less we try
the more we will understand.

As I said in the book, the archetype of Aries is symbolic of creation. Some equate that to God wanting to experience
Him/Herself and thusly giving rise to the dream of separateness or for that matter, the overall fact that we or
anything is really here or not. My belief is that the very urge or "tremor in the air" that Castenada talked about,
the wanting, the desire for creation , the INTENTION itself gives us the illusion that it is, we are here.

It doesn't matter bc we have to deal with "being here" even if we aren't. The reason, I think, that WE CREATE
OUR OWN UNIVERSE is because we ARE HIM/HER. It's all one big "mind" thinking that it is not only separate but that
we are also separate from the created "universe". Right out of ACIM.

Buddhist talk of the illusion and the self, blah blah blah
I know nothing, but I know that I don't = there's the problem.
The mind is nuts; it will do little but screw you up.
When I rest or arrest it, I return to peace which is and was always there.
Every book I've ever read says the same thing: when we shut our mind up, we return to our natural state of Oneness
WHICH CANNOT BE CONCEIVED, only experienced.
Now, those are just some of my recent thoughts.
They seem to echo of much of what I hear here. Here here!
