Hi BridgeBuilder .


Just now l read all of your post . I find your words refreshing and innocent .

My very personal views or Truths on the reality of individual "psi" events that we all experience are actually not psi although they are 'psi' in the 'collective' normal acceptable "putting some reality " definition of "psi" . In other words those little and large psi events are psi in the way the world inteprets psi however in the real Truth of the reality of what psi and psi events are is not at all what the collective world assumes it is .

This does not mean that the events you witness and search for and discover are not most unusual and of a different set of norms. They define reality as somewhat unusual yet not quite as accepted normal yet it is also accepted as a possible reality and as you are seeing the reality of the 'resemble' thing you do , it is very real for you and others too .

Perhaps the whole concept of what you are doing with it , as you do , is seen as an innocent manifestation of your behaviour and as you innocently do your research with your purity of intentions , as you do , and you feel and see what you do with your own eyes it is coming through your heart and allowing you to find the amazing finds you are finding which is a gift .God is actually reaching you as you now have a way to reach Him and when you find that each new find it is God finding you and showing you Him and allowing you to continue and yes it will expand and even extend to other unreal ideas and concepts that you will apply truth to .

Eventually you will be forced to demand from God the explanation of what is going on in you and this stuff because you will have reached so many new unreal peaks that you will innocently put yourself into a position where only God will be able to help you and you and God will be face to face and you will be told from God in 'point blank' reality what is going on and the answers to the truth you now hold will change into another truth that God will share with you and you will know that all the unbelievable truths that one by one in your life you found and kept going led you to another Truth that is again even more unbelievable and amazing and will put a whole new perspective in you of what God is facing and why God has told you and it is way beyond the ultimate truths that you have already reached .

EDIT,,, Oh by the way and this is straight from the 'Top' ,, you can all start unpacking because the world is not going to end in 2012 and no one is going anywhere just yet , and anyway Jesus is on vacation in Florida and He is staying there for a lot longer than 2012 and as a matter of fact Jesus told me He was going to Aruba , Spain and Poland and even Pittsburg ,,and travel Earth in cognito for at leat 'thousands' more years .

So start unpacking BridgeBuilder and folks because you'll be sticking around for a long long more while .

BridgeBuilder has a spectacular aura aboutBridgeBuilder has a spectacular aura about
Hello MoooMooo,

Upon reflecting on your reply, I realized what drives my research is not only curiosity, but also the feeling of wanting to prove something "supernatural" to others in concrete ways. Perhaps I need to let that part go because I have noticed that people see what they want to see. For example, although I thought one of the "historical experts" I had been consulting with seemed to be seriously entertaining the prospect that reincarnation is true, he just wrote to me to tell me he doesn't believe it at all, and you have no idea how much "evidence" I have sent his way. How he could just dismiss it without even a sense of mystery is amazing to me. He just wrote to me last night, and it was quite a lesson for me.

And now with your post, I realize this is something only for those who are in a position where it would be of assistance to them on their spiritual path. And ultimately perhaps it is really just something for ME, a significant step on my own spiritual path. Could it be that I'm mostly trying to prove this to ME? For some I have shared it with, indeed it has resulted in a great sense of wonder and mystery, though they can't explain it. Others immediately dismiss it and don't see anything unusual whatsoever, except perhaps a friend "going off the deep end", hehehe I have some friends (including my ex-husband) who consider all perceptions of such phenomena "crazy", and that is a common perception among many.

I am indeed reaching an ever-increasing level of communication with a higher intelligence. I realize I honestly haven't decided yet if it is "God" or a higher intelligence capable of manipulating time and space and reading my mind (wow, that DOES sound "crazy" to some, but hey, I've seen enough solid things to know something highly unusual is going on here). There is a part in the movie "Contact", a favorite movie of mine, where this scientific woman is experiencing something phenomenal and questioning it, and the being she is communicating with in the guise of her father (when she comments seeing her father is just an illusion )says to her "That's my scientist". I have no doubt SOMEONE is communicating with me, that much is abundantly clear, but WHO?

So this has caused me to confront what I really believe once again. Could I be a closet agnostic and not know it? I always thought I believed in God, and I certainly do believe in a "Creator" (which may be a group consciousness), so that would be "God", wouldn't it? Just who IS God anyway? As I say this, the word "LOVE" popped into my mind.

I keep re-examining my concept of God in recent days. As an evangelical, I was taught that God is perfect and cannot evolve. Yet something tells me that God is growing too. Isn't that why we are here? I guess if one applies mathematics, one could say God is infinite LOVE growing infinitely. Infinity is an interesting concept when you think about it, and mathematicians know it well (one of my degrees is in math).

And when I said "I love you" to my Creator some time ago, and I immediately got the response "I love you too" on my computer with the picture of a galaxy (on the web page where I was scrolling), who was that speaking?

Rastus would remind me that it is ME. I am able to get my arms around that concept at some level, but to truly accept it at the depths of my being is tough, despite my realizing that God is not the external figure I was taught about in my youth.

As for 2012, I should have clarified what I meant about that. Many believe that it is an end or a doomsday of some sort, but I studied the Mayan prophecies, and it's not an end, it is a beginning. In her book "Return of the Children of Light", Judith Bluestone Polich researches the prophecies and talks about what the Mayans really envisioned for the period around 2012. They predicted our expansion in consciousness, which I find fascinating. I highly recommend that book to anyone who has concerns about 2012, as there are a lot of fear-based predictions floating around the internet on that topic right now.

Peace and Love,
BridgeBuilder

I enjoyed reading your posts BridgeBuilder and the honesty with which you write. I can so relate to you in your growing awareness and questioning.

I personally don't believe God grows or evolves. Nor does Love. To me God IS. Not less and not more. Love IS too. Not more or less. In my opinion if anything feels like "evolving" it is our concept of time through the belief in time.

There are no half truths, or half lies. It either is or it is not.

Hi BridgeBuilder .

---> " in concrete ways. Perhaps I need to let that part go because I have noticed that people see what they want to see."<---

God is only allowing you to see what you see 'only' ,because God only wants 'you' to see it .



--> " he just wrote to me to tell me he doesn't believe it at all, and you have no idea how much "evidence" I have sent his way.
How he could just dismiss it without even a sense of mystery is amazing to me. He just wrote to me last night, and it was quite a lesson for me. '<--

You discovered something and you told someone and basically they told you to 'shut up' . As you continue with this hurt you will catapult into further new discoveries and continually bascially be told to 'shut up' more and again and again .

You know what you are seeing is real and you know you cannot seem to be able to enhance it into another's reality designed for them . It is for you BriidgeBuilder and God is allowing you to continue by having others tell you to 'shut up' .

This is your 'cue' to continue because you know what you are seeing and you know they cannot see it and something seems to be keeping these amazing discoveries to your own depths . Continue to go with your heart and research all avenues toward it's reality and when you have finally found that no one knows what this is and you have it you will be forced to place it in the realms of God and continue to see if it continues to lead you to God .
You must find it yourself . God is giving you the option for this as eventually it will lead you to a reality that you will see that you will have to demand from God to explain it and when you get to that point from your innocent work and preverence to continue you will be falling right into God's plan for you but you must do it with innocent curiosity as you are doing now .

When you reach the Top plateau you will find out why God had so many tell you to 'shut up' and why they told you they do not believe it , and the reason they did that is because BridgeBuilder God does not want them to know .

SpiritualSon is on a distinguished road
Cross

If we have not repented and humbled ourselves, how can the Lord enter our hearts? We are then like Moses before he took off his shoes at the burning bush. We are like Nebuchadnezzar boasting about his accomplishments just before he became a wild animal. We are like Peter telling the Lord what to do, just before he, Peter, was called Satan!

If we do not pray for things that will help in our spiritual life or promote the Lord's kingdom, how can He possibly respond? We are then like Saul asking the Lord to essentially maintain his reputation and glory. The Lord cannot and will not "heed prayers that are contrary to the end, which is salvation".

If we do not pray for things that will help in our spiritual life or promote the Lord's kingdom, how can He possibly respond? We are then like Saul asking the Lord to essentially maintain his reputation and glory. The Lord cannot and will not "heed prayers that are contrary to the end, which is salvation".

If we find our prayers go unanswered, we are going to do one of two things. Either we will give up, at best just going through the motions, just because the Lord requires us to pray daily," "morning and evening, also at dinners and suppers, or we will learn to be humble, to change our state, so that we may come into the temple of the Lord's holiness to speak with Him.

Bringing us into a state of humility is, in fact, a primary purpose of prayer. It is, therefore, a wonderful way of helping us to be humble. "He who supplicates is in humiliation". When there is humility, then prayer works, "the Divine can flow in and be perceived".

"The Lord does indeed demand humiliation ... in man [but] for his own sake; because when he is in this state the Lord can flow in with heavenly good" (AC 5957). The flower must turn itself to the sun! Like a flower that turns and offers itself to the sun, we also have something we can actually give to the Lord. When praying, we are offering Him our minds, our attention. He who is our spiritual sun will in turn bless us with the light and warmth of heaven.

Because of the wonderful response, sometimes incredible power we are able to receive from the Lord as a result of taking time to talk with Him, it should be no surprise to see hundreds of occasions when prayer is used in all three parts of the Word-prayers that are answered!

"Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech" (Gen. 20:17). "The people cried to Moses; and Moses prayed to the Lord, and the fire died down" (Num. 11:2 . "And the people came to Moses, and said . . . 'Pray to the Lord to take the snakes away from us.' So Moses prayed for the people." (Num. 21:7). Hannah prayed to have a child. Her prayer was granted and Samuel was born. "And Samuel said, Gather all Israel at Mizpeh, and I will pray to the Lord for you" (1 Sam. 7:5). "Far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you" (I Sam. 12:23).

Solomon prayed at the dedication of the temple (see I Kings 8). Elisha prayed many times. Jonah prayed to be released from the belly of the fish (see Jonah 2:1). Hezekiah took the letter of Sennacherib into the house of the Lord and prayed (II Kings 19:14). Daniel prayed three times a day (Dan. 6:10). Many of the psalms are prayers. "Hear my prayer, 0 Lord" (Psalm 4: 1). The Lord says in Isaiah as well as in three of the Gospels: "My house shall be a house of prayer" (Isaiah 56:7; Matt. 21:13).

In the New Testament it is often said that the Lord Himself prayed. "He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray" (Matt. 14:23). "He was praying in a certain place, and when He ceased, one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1). And He taught them the model for any prayer, the Lord's Prayer. Then later He showed that they "always ought to pray" (Luke 18:1).

Love2


Today my daughter and l drove in to a Gas Station and she had her 170 pound dog 'Max' in the car . As the young 'thirtiesh' gas bar attendant looked into the car window to ask what we wanted , she asked if it was okay and then took a dog cookie and gave it to Max .

She obviously only made 'minimum wage' and l asked her if the gas station 'supplied' the dog cookies . I thought maybe it was just a gimmick by the Station but she said , ''no" and that she does not have a dog and she bought the dog cookies to give to the dogs that pull up .

I looked at her and l saw her innocent love and l told her that her giving Max a dog cookie was God doing that through her and it was a glorius thing she was doing .

I saw the Lord through her innocent caring behaviour and that God's communication went through her to me and my daughter and Max .
