9 Mind-Bending Epiphanies That Turned My World Upside-Down

Lia's picture



By: David, Raptitude

Over the years I’ve learned dozens of little tricks and insights for making life more fulfilling. They’ve added up to a significant improvement in the ease and quality of my day-to-day life. But the major breakthroughs have come from a handful of insights that completely rocked my world and redefined reality forever.

The world now seems to be a completely different one than the one I lived in about ten years ago, when I started looking into the mechanics of quality of life. It wasn’t the world (and its people) that changed really, it was how I thought of it.

Maybe you’ve had some of  the same insights. Or maybe you’re about to.


1. You are not your mind.

The first time I heard somebody say that,  I didn’t like the sound of it one bit. What else could I be? I had taken for granted that the mental chatter in my head was the central “me” that all the experiences in my life were happening to.
I see quite clearly now that life is nothing but passing experiences, and my thoughts are just one more category of things I experience. Thoughts are no more fundamental than smells, sights and sounds. Like any experience, they arise in my awareness, they have a certain texture, and then they give way to something else.
If you can observe your thoughts just like you can observe other objects, who’s doing the observing? Don’t answer too quickly. This question, and its unspeakable answer, are at the center of all the great religions and spiritual traditions.

2. Life unfolds only in moments.

Chautauqua ~ The Trap of Time

Doreen Smith's picture

 

AugurEyeExpress  November 4 2013

Back when I was just a schoolboy, my 5th grade teacher Mrs. Sampson hung the classroom clock on the back wall, so as not to distract us from her lesson plan. It didn’t work, because every kid in that room had the swivel neck, looking over their shoulders to glance the time many times an hour. Before long She added a hand made sign below the clock, in the shape of a bumper sticker. It read: “Time will pass…will You?” We did of course, and along with whatever we gleaned from the teachings; we also acquired a lifelong relationship with time, for better or worse.

Koch brothers poured tens of millions of dollars into anti-choice movement

Koch brothers

Senior Washington correspondent Adele Stan wrote Tuesday that tax documents show Koch-directed “pro-business” groups threw their money and resources behind legislative initiatives designed to shut down women’s health clinics and deny women access to contraception, reproductive health services and abortions. “There is little doubt that the rash of anti-choice measures that flooded the legislative dockets in state capitols in 2013 was a coordinated effort by anti-choice groups and major right-wing donors lurking anonymously behind the facades of the non-profit “social welfare” organizations unleashed to tear up the political landscape, thanks to the high court’s decision in Citizens United,” Stan wrote. “Helping to drive the right-wing offensive in the states and in Congress is a network of deep-pocketed business titans convened by the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, principals in Koch Industries, the second-largest privately held corporation in the United States,” she continued. While the Kochs and their satellite groups profess to be interested more in business policy and deregulation than social issues, their true agenda is an all-out “war on women,” said RH Reality Check.

 

~We are in a major upgrade phase~ Strong Flares Continue

Lia's picture

Greetings Love Beings, as We shared In our Previous Update November was going to Be huge For alot of Movement and We definatly have been experiencing this!

Quoted from Jamie Price ..."The Energies of November ~  What times we are in! Solar flares, nostril flares, Uranus squares, oh my! These are unprecedented times of change! Even if it’s uncomfortable at the moment, it’s all good! Let’s get right down to it. First thing that comes up for November is “just breathe.” Just breathe through it, allow life to flow around you. I’m shown an image as if energy is coming in from all directions. Rather than this being something that we are called to direct or focus, it is a powerful catalyst that is calling us to relax through rather than push through. When we have this much going on energetically, just dealing with what-is can feel like an uphill battle, so know that it is time to mainly just let go and allow.It can seem like allowing is a passive state, but actually it is a wise state of observing and participating as the flow indicates. It’s like walking down a hallway until you find an open door rather than deciding you’re going to just make a door at a certain point in the wall! The astrology speaks to that as we are completing an eclipse cycle on 11/3 (in Scorpio), a Mercury retrograde on 11/10 (in Scorpio), the fourth of seven Pluto/Uranus squares on 11/1(in Capricorn/Aries respectively), and solar flares galore! This is a time of great movement, but that movement is mainly the undercurrent of release, the burning off of dross and a time of sparking an ignition that will bring much transformation. We are in a major upgrade phase....."

SUNSET PLANETS: When the sun goes down tonight, step outside and look southwest. Venus and the crescent Moon are having a get-together, less than 10o apart. Try to catch them before the sky fades to black. A Moon-Venus pair surrounded by twilight-blue is one of the prettiest sights in the heavens. [sky map] [photo gallery]

SOLAR FLARE CAUSES RARE 'MAGNETIC CROCHET': On Nov. 5th at 22:12 UT, the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR1890 erupted, producing a brief but intense X3-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash:

~Brenda Hoffman ~ You’re Evolving Into Infant And Parent – 6 November

Eddie1177's picture

Dear Ones,

Please take a moment to process your feelings about living from your heart. Do you believe it is possible? Listen to your inner-being and it will give you the answer – yes or no.

If your response is yes, you merely need to voice your intent to live from your heart to yourself. If your answer is no, please read on.

Loving from your heart does not mean loving all but that dastardly person who wronged you. Nor does it mean you must openly love all.

Many of you worried about opening your heart to yourself, and therefore all, are concerned you will be abused once again for doing so.

Indigenous Elders and Medicine Peoples Council Statement on Fukushima

NASA - Earth1

This statement reflects the wisdom of the Spiritual People of the Earth, of North and South America, working in unity to restore peace, harmony and balance for our collective future and for all living beings. This statement is written in black and white with a foreign language that is not our own and does not convey the full depth of our concerns.

 

The Creator created the People of the Earth into the Land at the beginning of Creation and gave us a way of life. This way of life has been passed down generation-to-generation since the beginning. We have not honored this way of life through our own actions and we must live these original instructions in order to restore universal balance and harmony. We are a part of Creation; thus, if we break the Laws of Creation, we destroy ourselves.

Revealing The Light~ You Are God

YOU ARE GOD

 
 
 
by John McIntosh
 

GOD [by any name] is ONE ... not God plus you and all other creations. All creations are 'extensions' of God in a temporary form or experience with which YOU 'AS' God can experience YOUR/ITSELF.

God/You is not temporary ... nothing which is Real has a beginning or an ending. All temporary extensions are instruments through which to experience YOUR/ITSELF - God.

The split or separated consciousness 'is' the FALL of Man myth and was not a mistake but an intentional act of your One Will to manifest in the world/illusion/projection of opposites 'fully unconscious' of WHO YOU TRULY ARE.

What you see around you in the world today is the dissolution of this dream ... its conclusion as the structure holding together the dream of separation falls away.

It is the the most precious and sacred moment in creation since this intentional split mind occurred ... the moment YOU remember YOU ARE GOD.

~ Wes Annac ~ Breaking Tradition in a Spiritual Revolution - 6 November

Eddie1177's picture

Written by Wes Annac, The Aquarius Paradigm

In the new era we’re rapidly entering and building, I think humanity will benefit from letting ourselves break tradition and go against the curve.

Our current ways of running our planet and interacting with each other haven’t worked, and I think that an aspect of changing our deeply rooted ways will be going against the established norm and expressing our unique perspectives instead of hiding them away.

Humanity has been entering an era of spiritual revolution for centuries, and concepts that could be seen as “out there” right now may very well be accepted and understood by the general public in our future.

While certain elements in our society have worked actively to suppress knowledge of our true history, the real suppression that’s taken place has been self-instated in the minds and hearts of every unaware person.

I’m not going to say Western society isn’t focused purely on distraction and complacency toward anything above a certain spectrum of intelligence, but the forces cultivating such distraction can’t stop you or anyone else from regaining access to our inner-held spiritual realms.

We’re infinite beings with the potential and ability to do and be anything we want, and I’ve come to learn that every bit of perceived limitation is a fabricated product of the ego.

November 2013 Energy Forecast with Lee Harris

Lia's picture

(Transcribed and edited from Lee’s live Video message)

Hi everyone and welcome to the November Energy Forecast for 2013.

Time is crazy. I can’t believe it was 11 months ago that I stood here to do the December Energy Forecast. That was an auspicious forecast, because it was December 2012 and people were divided between whether the world was about to end, or the spaceships were going to land, or something massive was going to shift.

As I and many people said at the time, the knowledge that we’ve had for thousands of years is that it was always a marker point and it was always going to signify a change in consciousness. And in the same way that for most people, the energy body (and our emotions and thoughts) can change faster than the actual physical body can; it’s the same with this shift in consciousness. It will take time to ground.

~ Marc Gamma ~ Archangel Michael: You have reached your target – you still have to acknowledge it now - 6 November

http://soul4free.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/archangel-michael-e1375129948149.jpg[Original language German, translated by (Contra)Mary]

My beloved humans, this is I, Archangel Michael speaking. Again some other vivid week has  passed by and much has happened in the meantime. All of last weekend’s energies have not been digested by you entirely and your bodies are still kept busy with integration of them having reached you and Gaia in previous days.

However, we do not want look back but forward since everything which is upon you when looking forward – it is so powerful, wonderful and it will change everything. There will be matters to be manifested in your reality which finally will become visible too.

 

We had – and this comprises you and us too – to wait quite a long time in order to see this moment. And there were so many postponements which we had to inform you of again and again since there were certain framing structures prooving out not very ideal ones for such manifestations.

This having passed now – finally we are able to see all the possibilities which we have repeatedly mentioned to you before. You will stumble yourselves over such matters. And these are important to you and they will shock this world and its inhabitants likewise.
