A metaphysical shift from cause/effect to a mwtaphysics of Quality. Quality=value=love=passion. A new look at passion. A more evolved sense of connectedness through this greater understanding of complex love:marerophilia.

A coming together of science and spirituality. A purpose: to ascend to a higher sense of individuation, and self expression. A reaching out by those who know to those who are weak and isolated.

Ascend?

The second coming of Christ (the passion) has already begun. Unfortunately,  the world is resistent to change.

What would be the form of this second coming?

Truthfully my puzzle could be composed of pieces that are all disinformation, but they fit oh so nicely!

It is like that for me also.  Lately I've begun to let go of the doubt that it may be "wrong" (lol that term is funny now), and just go with it.  Where will it lead?  I don't know!  But I tell you, its fun and enjoyable.

The big picture has been discussed already... are we ready to evolve?  Ascend?

Well, if working at my latest job is any indication.. no we're not.   Although.. I myself feel as though everything is in the process of transmutation.   Change is happening at accelerated speeds, but yet, even though I may feel it, when I obseve the world... I still see ignorance.  Maybe I am seeing this part within myself, and transcending it.

You know I had an amazing experience the other day.  As a kid, my friends would always come to my door, no warnings or anything, and ask if I wanted to play hockey, or "come out and play".  Then I was wondering... when was the last time that has happened?  I couldn't remember!  And then, these two kids, around 7-8 years old, came to the door and ask me to come out and play!  I'm 19!  I always feel connected to kids more that I do with adults... its amazing.

The meaning of life - from my perspective - is to create.  But I agree with everyone else's meanings.. they all contain truth in my opinion.

The pieces I have so far seem to suggest the possibiltiy of some sort of dimensionsal, or density shift for us from the 3rd to the 4th.  My favortie sources tend to suggest as well, those living in 3d now that aren't ready will not move up to 4, but instead will begin again on earth 300,000 years in the past, because after all linear time is an illusion.

When in a concentration camp during WWII he found himself, and he found the character in the others around him. Apathy was contegeous, understandably. The captives used cigarettes as money. They observed that those who smoked their cigarettes had lost their will to live.

I often wonder if people so caught up with apathy and fear are smokers for similar reasons.

I love life, yet few want to know anything about "A man's Search for Meaning". I hope we could talk about Dr. Frankl's book?

Any smokers here?

life=expression of self; movement within unus mundus
Divine=Quality

a few random definitions. Can you add, subtract, or change any of these? It's your reality too. Just thought I'd jot down a couple things that have meaning to me.

I can see what you're saying.  It's more of a linear progression through reincarnation, and that may very well be our purpose.  I've just gone around and around in my own mind over the years with the question, as I'm sure most people do from time to time.  From looking around this world and interacting with and watching many of it's inhabitants, I'd say that the type of ascension you're referring to is not one that's suited for the species of this planet right now.  I've often wondered if there were a dozen Christs (or other Ascended Masters) that appeared at once, tomorrow, and said, "Alright, the time has come to teach you how to live in higher realms." .... how would the world react?  Just think about that one for a minute.

To me, it must be taught and understood through and by all, as we really all make up this reality.  To take the next step, we must all be on the same page, so to speak.  And to truly understand it, we must first experience the meaning and motives of every living thing on this planet, and the planet itself.  Then we must learn to live in harmony through harmonizing.  Telepathy would be a necessary evolutionary step.  I wonder what mayhem would occur if everyone woke up tomorrow with telepathy.  Also, understanding our bodies, inside and out, and learn how to use these vehicles we are given to their best capacity without destroying them.  We still have much to learn about the human body, especially the brain.  Currency is useless if everyone would stop focusing value on material objects.  It's only man's belief in currency that makes it valuable.  It's a figment of man's imagination that was a necessary step in evolving the species, but in the future, it would be absolutely necessary to move beyond the need for currency.  Imagine trying to explain money to an entity of pure energy (or a member of another planet who's species has never encountered the concept of currency).  But such logic does not apply in our present world, and I'm quite aware of this.  We are too saturated by the experiences we are taught we ought to have when we are born here.  We learn from what we are exposed to, and right now, it's not getting any better.  We're digressing as a species.  This illusion of progression is only because we have progressed with technology.  Technology that was artificially introduced to our species.  Whether reverse-engineered or bartered in exchange for human commerce, it is not native to our natural progression of tools.  Unfortunately, instead of using that technology for the evolution of our species, there are those in power who are twisted by power and greed and have no interest in our spiritual evolution.  This is a massive problem.  We, as a human race, have not been able to establish a truly honest and fair distribution of responsibility.  (notice, I don't say "government" or "distribution of power"....such concepts are archaic and draconian)  Basically, my feeling is that the human species hasn't learned everything there is to learn of this dimension.  Once we do, it will be time to move on, and it won't be a big "whoop-dee-doo"...it will barely be noticed at all, and will be a natural progression and understanding of what is occurring.  But, in the meantime, we've got to become more aware, and that awareness comes through experience and communication. (That's what I was speaking about in my previous post....on an individual basis, right now, the meaning is still beyond our comprehension, so presently we must enhance our awareness through personal experience and "connecting the dots".  I believe every response in this thread is correct and accurate, even though they don't all intially seem to agree with eachother.  Divisions in thought of any subject is just a process to increase the overall complexity of meaning of the whole awareness of that subject.)

I know it all sounds like "foo-foo", fluffy, new-agey bullshit, but I assure you... humans are not ready yet (for a complete earthly ascension).  There may be Ascended Masters walking around right now, but they're well aware that if their presence was discovered, they would be discretely eliminated by TPTB, and no one would have ever even heard their name or seen their face, much less, be able to glean their purpose for incarnation.  These are the misunderstood times that we live in.  Why are Ascended Masters only recognized and their validity debated after their physical death?  I have a feeling that the only "Rapture" is going to be the beam-me-up type, to the ships who's representatives have some vested, on-going interests here.  By that, I mean, either lineages relating to their species blended with humans on this earth or those of their species that volunteered to incarnate as human on this earth.  Those humans who's vibratory rates/astral frequencies will allow them to live elsewhere in the universe(s) will be transplanted to other locations.  Planetary vibrations are specific to the life that lives on them... they're connected, and humans with earth-bound frequencies (or vibratory rates) cannot be "transplanted" to a different world, because they wouldn't "sync-up" with the frequencies of that new planetary system.  Disorientation, confusion, leading to madness, and possible cellular deterioration are all possibilities that could occur.  I know there is no way that humans have to verify this little fact yet, but I'm sure, even today, there are some more free thinking exobiologists who may concur.

I'm thinking that tomorrow, I may regret hitting the "submit" button, but that's life, and those are just some of the conclusions I've drawn from pondering "the big questions" for many years, and thinking myself into circles, seeing the madness of the world spiralling ever outward, and wondering "why".

Just my 2 cents

I feel that if that was the case we wouldn't need to eat, gain energy etc. If we need nutrition for our body's maintenance, we need to learn/evolve in other dimensions too; "as above, so below".

Solving a grand predicament seems like the answer to me.
