lion: Namaste All! Yes, I'm back again, here to express what spirit would have me express in this place at this time.

lion: Once more, it seems that I am alone ... or is it ALL ONE again??? There is something in the air, an expectancy of what is to come, as if we are drawing near the end of a pregnancy ready for a new BIRTH to occur. And, what birth will this be ... is this not what the DAWN of a NEW AGE is; a new birth of expression of consciousness.

lion: Yes, I know there are others in various rooms at this site. My preference, however is to find a vacant room and start to fill it with whatever spirit would have me express. If others join, fine. If not, that is fine too. What must be expressed will have been expressed, one way or another.

lion: This is becoming a regular outlet of expression for me, as it was nearly a year ago. Why, I am not sure. I just know that I am moved to BE HERE NOW. It's as if I'm keeping an appointment with destiny.

lion: Perhaps I am to meet someone here, or deposit words that permit another to find me. Clicking on "lion" takes you to my personal page which in turn links you to my world. Do take the time to visit it sometime. www.redshift.com/~beyond/wayne.htm -- if you happen to read this from the log and the link is not active.

lion: So, what moves me to SIT AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD? Spirit or consciousness herself so moves me. And when she speaks, it is but for me to do her bidding.

lion: Where better to place one's throne. From here, the view is grand ... for it is the view seen through the EYE = 575 of spirit. It is interesting that 575 = 23 X 25 = "W" X "Y". How curious, WXY. Two words fit the pattern, W-Y, WAY an WHY ... two very important words to me personally.

lion: Hmm ... a monologue again. Why is it that I am moved to express in this way? This is a chat room after all. It seems like dialogue or conversation would be more appropriate.

lion: Yet, such is not for me to decide. I can only choose to express what spirit would move to express through me. YES, that is my only choice ... and when there is only ONE choice, in reality there is NO CHOICE. Such is my experience of reality. I observe myself doing things and taking action without conscious awareness of why or in many cases how. I experience what I experience. I do not consciously control or create this experience. It just happens and I am left to assign meaning to it.

lion: Thus far, all of my experience, and all that I have observed to date conforms to this understanding. This is the way that I experience reality, period. Why such is the case is not important. It just is. Metaphysics must match experience if it is to be truly lived. It must be practical. One must be able to trust it and to ACT based on that trust.

lion: If you are moved by this, find the courage to introduce yourself to another aspect of the I AM that we are. Yes, I still experience an individual existence, but I KNOW this to be the ILLUSION, not the reality. I will experience it only so long as I must, so long as it serves my evolution in awareness ... so long as it serves SPIRIT to express through me in this manner.

lion: After that, I will be whatever I am ready to be ... and will express what SPIRIT would have whatever I have become express for her. This is all that matters, the full expression of spirit in flesh, to whatever degree is possible HERE and NOW.

lion: My medium is words ... NOT the sweet words of the poet, but the words of consciousness herself, immediate, often impersonal, but what else would one expect to be expressed from one who is primarily a hermit. I find it curious that we approach the completion of the 9: Hermit cycle of 222 years.

lion: This, 1998, is also the completion of the 27: Ace of Wands = New Start in the field of Spirit cycle of 74: The Benefactor years.

lion: This is also the completion of the 18: The Moon cycle of 111 which marks the beginning of the 19: The Sun cycle. The Sun represents SPIRIT. It will be interesting to see what manifests in the year ahead. Something tells me that the magnitude of change, the AWAKENING, will be far beyond anything that is yet apparent.

troll: Hi Lion!!!

troll: So good to see you again! Don´t know if you remember me?

lion: How can I KNOW this? Simply because it comes to me from within ... and over the past four years, this inner world has become my reality ... it is still illusion, but is far less so than the mental and physical worlds that I lived in before.

troll: Lion??? Still there???

troll: Maybe I still was "sol" when we met, I ca´t recall...I´ve checked the beyondsite...

lion: Namaste troll! I'm sorry, no, I don't remember. When did we meet?

troll: Sheba, hello!

lion: I do remember a sol, but there is no context left in my mind.

troll: Lion, I remember you, an aries like myself with moon in sagittarius and leo rising, right?

lion: Namaste sheba! Welcome!

sheba: Hello troll I hope I`m not interupting *smile*

lion: YES, that is correct! Triple fire!

troll: We talked about my saturn returning for the 1st time, and that I´m quitting my job etc...

sheba: Hello lion, Your words and thoughts are beautiful. *smile*

lion: How is it that you remembered? I don't even recall the words that come through me from one day to the next. LOL!!!

troll: Sheba, you´re very welcome *S*...unfourtunately I will have to leave you in a while...my shift is over and I´m going home to sleep...

troll: Lion, you´re pretty hard not to remember! *smile*

sheba: lion I just read them heehee today right now *smile*

lion: Now I remember. That was a about a week ago, was it not? And did you quit? ... or are you still deciding. Was it Sweden, or some country in that part of the world?

sheba: troll sorry you are leaving so soon. Stonehenge was a bit crowded for me tonight.

lion: Namaste psy! --- Sheba: I have to re-read my own posts to know what came through in the past hour. I have no sense of creating it ... I observe it coming through and am simply amazed. It has been this way for just over four years.

troll: LION!That´s right- I´m in sweden and I only have 2 days left to work...I think I´m ready for my new life...

lion: troll: Am I now??? ... I guess I AM. LOL!!!

troll: Sheba, the "henge" is mostly too crowded for me to...

sheba: lion that must be wonderful to have such words come through with no effort. *smile*Hello psy *smile*

psy: I,m new to site.. are you discussing astrology tonite? my program is slow so bear with slow response...

lion: Good for you, troll! But you have to get BEYOND THINKING, BEYOND MIND. It is awareness and knowledge of SELF that should be your primary aim.

sheba: troll so you are in Alaska?

troll: I´m gonna get me a computer of my own so I can continue to meet beautiful people like you...

sheba: Hello Jenn welcome *smile*

lion: Namaste Jenn! --- YES sheba, it is wonderful. I thoroughly ENJOY it. I can think of no better way to engage my faculties at this time.

troll: Sheba, no-That´s the adress that my company uses...I´m in sweden---Lion, I will keep searching and struggle...

troll: Hi Jenn!

lion: psy: Actually, we speak of nearly anything metaphysical here. The focus is always the expression of SPIRIT to the greatest degree possible for us.

sheba: Ohh yes troll then you can visit whenever you want *smile*I love to come here, where I can just be me.

lion: troll: dump the struggle part ... there is no need for it unless you find that it serves you.

troll: Psy, we aren´t really discussing anything yet...just chatting *S*

lion: There is no spiritual law that says the path toward increased awareness MUST be difficult. It can be, but it doesn't have to be.

troll: Lion, I didn´t really mean "struggle", but I couldn´t find the appropriate word...

lion: My sense has always been that if it is a struggle, you are overlooking something. There is always an EASY WAY, and you can find it if you search for it in the right manner in the right places. :)

troll: Lion, I hope to see you again soon and tell you how my new beginning turns out...Maybe it will take a couple of months...I´m going home soon so I´ll have to say goodbye to you all...

psy: You can find the path you have chosen for this lifetime by exploring your past lives. Anyone been regressed hypnoticaly?

lion: Namaste troll! Enjoy your day ... ENJOY your NEW LIFE!

sheba: lion I understand what you are saying, I also believe that some things you have to experience before you can competely understand. *smile*

troll: Lion, Sheba, Psy Love, light and laughter to you...Hope to see you again...

troll: *POOOOOF*

sheba: goodnight troll it was nice to meet you, sleep well *smile*

sheba: psy I believe that past lives should only be looked into as a last resort, There is a reason that we do not remember *smile*

lion: Hmm... I have not been moved to explore past lives. I have no experiences of being other than I AM. I rarely recall dreams. The few times that I have tried hypnosis failed miserably ... I do not trust it as a valid way of exploration for me. I don't know why this should be so. Such is simply what I experience. I have known others who found this to be a valid approach to self-knowledge.

lion: Not just some things ... UNDERSTANDING is NEVER a mental function, it requires personal experience.

psy: I believe we are here to learn the lesson of uncoditional love and our free will choices lead us towards or away from that goal

lion: I know this firsthand. I spent 20 years lost in a mental world of my own construction, thinking that I understood the nature of reality. Boy, was I in for a MAJOR AWAKENING in 1993, enough to be forced to take a 10 day vacation to the local funny farm.

sheba: lion do you not believe that true empathy and conecting with anothers pain is also a growing experience.

lion: Yes psy! That is indeed a major lesson ... no, THE MAJOR LESSON. However, regarding choice and free will, what is your personal experience of these?

sheba: psy yes free will that is what we have the choices are ours to make. I believe that all paths will eventualy lead to complete enlightenment, Some roads are dead ends and must be traveld until that soul realizes where it is to go.

lion: Hmm ... it hasn't been so with me to date. I am more concerned with one's level of awareness, one's knowledge of self, Self, and SELF ... and the degree to which one is able to connect to and express SPIRIT.

psy: I learned lots of life lessons thro 40yrs before I understood what this life was all about and now the journey is so exciting! studyed many religions and philosphys now I write,lecture and get on with learning!

lion: sheba: Are you consciously aware of making choices? My experience is that I observe myself to "make choices" but that the process is not truly conscious. I never know all of the factors involved ... and I never have the opportunity to go back and make a different choice. Because of this, I can never truly be sure that I really had a choice in the matter at all.

lion: Yet, I take full responsibility for all that is done through me. It matters not whether it was done consciously or not, I AM still responsible. There is a Greater "I" that creates my reality, period, no fine print, no exceptions.

psy: Lion with love I ask this question ..--When youre so centered on self , how do you relate to others in a loving manner

lion: It was not until my 35th year [1993] that I began writing. It is as if a switch turned on. Suddenly, I became an information generator, where before I had been a voracious information consumes (primarily via reading books on metaphysics)

sheba: lion most of the time no I am not sure of the choices I believe that so much has been predetermend. I also believe that it is the probables that have been arranged while there is still the actual to be experienced. I have experieneced on occation a choice that I have been mentally aware of as life chaning, a feeling that if I go to a certian place my life will be changed without knowing how.

psy: Most of my choices are concious,, how can it be else? It seems like not taking responsibility if youre not aware of your choices

lion: By KNOWING that the reality is that there is only ONE consciousness, that WE are but parts of this ONE, that all separation is illusion. Then all LOVE, becomes SELF LOVE and is given unconditionally because such is how SPIRIT expresses, she knows no other way.

sheba: psy I believe that much of what we are going to be has been pre determined so we are able to experience the needed lesson learn something that we need. We decide this ourselves. Although we still have many obstacles to overcome otherwise we would not still be here. The giant classroom earth.

lion: Until four years ago, I thought that my choices were conscious as well. Now, my experience is that all that I consciously choose is where I focus my attention and what meaning I choose to attach to what happens. I am not aware of consciously choosing what happens ... only what meaning I give to what happens.

sheba: lion what happend four years ago to make you think this?

psy: sheba, I think believing in predestination limits the soul. Its often a tool used by organized religion to cotrol the masses. Were you raised in a religion?

lion: Much of my experience has been as a Hermit, isolated from nearly all others. While I have been married nearly nine years, I am still very much a Hermit. Establishing deep personal connections with others has simply not been part of my 39 years of experience to date in this existence.

celine: {{{{{{lion}}}}}}} Love, Light and Greetings to you dear friend. Just stopped in for a moment. Will be turning in soon. Greetings Sheba

sheba: psy. I think you misunderstand me. Yes we do make our own choices. Lets see how do I explain this, I believe that we all have an overself that remembers all past lives and apon our phsical death we return to our overself and look back on the life we had and what we still need to learn. Then we decide apon what the best cercumstance and human type would best suit what is still needed.

lion: I became awake ... and nothing that 20 years of metaphysical thinking came close to preparing me for the reality that I experienced. All of a sudden, I realized that there is a spiritual world embedded within the symbol systems of the world that most people live within, a spiritual world that few have eyes to see and ears to hear ... a world that all of a sudden became my PRIMARY reality.

sheba: Hello celine *smile*

lion: NAMASTE CELINE!!! This is becoming a regular occurrence. :)

psy: There are all kinds of clues about lessons to be learned, Lion Maybe your major lesson is to establish personal connections espically if that is a reacurring situation. I find that if the lesson isnt learned it keeps repeating itself.

sheba: lion You seem to think much like I do. I have been called a hermit by many, It is easiest for me to see when I am not surrounded by chaos. I believe it is like that for many.

lion: Literally, I went BEYOND MIND ... and then I started my present path to take me and others BEYOND IMAGINATION ... for it is only thus where full awareness of reality can occur.

psy: Sheba Yes Yes my beliefs are similiar. Hello Celine

lion: Yes sheba. There is a sense that such is how the ONE must experience life. For the ONE, there are no others, there is only SELF. Out of SELF, the entire illusion that we experience as reality is manifest.

sheba: All of life tells a story I have exepted the faces I see in the wood of trees I am no longer frightend to listen

lion: Further, as I have said many times elsewhere ... HER MIT = the MIT of HER = the GLOVE that Consciousness or SPIRIT of THE ONE wears.

sheba: psy *smile* I think that also answers the question if I am part of an organized religion. although I believe that many still need that, just think what they would be like without anything.

lion: Note, not a piece of her, nor a hand, rather simply a glove that she wears. I like that. It resonates strongly to the very depth of my being.

lion: Hmm ... I've stayed away from "organized" anything all of my life. As an Aries, I am moved to be a unique expression of spirit ... I abhor crowds, choosing to strike my own path through the wilderness of consciousness.

psy: Its feeling very airy in this room I,m off to more grounded pastures. Read my book sometime "Chicken Soup For the Womans Soul". or the "metaphysical Primer" Goodnight.

sheba: lion although I love contemplating all of what I am and all things metaphsycal, I find myself amazed at thediscovery of self awareness, Living life knowing of the illusion, I feel that even though it is difficult for me, I still try and connect with others The things that we can do when we work together are beautiful and amazing, subjecting yourself to others is something that is never a useless experience.

sheba: psy goodnight it was nice talking to you *smile*

lion: I too must depart. It has been a long day. Thank you for participating in this discussion this evening. Namaste All! In Peace, Love and Light, Wayne.

celine: Lion, just wanted to say goodnite. This week is hectic for me so I may drop in, but only for a moment. Much Love & Light to you and all other wonderful spirits here.

sheba: goodnight lion sleep well

lion: Agree sheba. There is a longing within me to do exactly that. There is a knowingness that the creation of a body for Cosmic Consciousness requires the cooperative interdependence of many of us working together just as the cells of our physical body work together to permit the expression of whom that we are as individuals.

lion: Within the past year, URANUS has finally reached a point in my birth chart where it sees the light of day. This has produced a strong sense in me toward expression of COMMUNITY. By it's definition COMMON UNITY is a realization of many of there true nature as ONE.

sheba: sweetdreams beautiful lion *smile*I know what you mean.

lion: Namaste sheba! It is always wonderful to experience another expression of the I AM!

sheba: lion I am a scoprpio I do not know that much about myself in that respect, Still so much to learn on this incredible journey. Have you heard of the hermatiges of Tibet?
