Cam 

Thank you for giving me the possibility to talk to myself:

"I played with your question, which could not be answered while being presence.

While accepting that it could be a relevant question for your path ( I did wonder if you were being presence while asking your question ), I consider it "not relevant musings" for mine, at least in "this now".  "

Hello Anna,

Something has happened since writing this. And now, I see exactly what you mean. You were right, it was just something I had to work out.

Thank you

I have been discussing the idea of one true reality with my friend who is also experiencing this crazy realisation. I can see what you mean now. I have programmed my paradigm to be a particular way, I am starting to realise now how fluid everything is.

My friend explains it perfectly when he says: "It's like a huge space has been opened up in my mind, I am exploring all these new areas I never knew I had"

Is this a common experience? Coming to the realisation and finally getting some of these big questions answered is really quite daunting, just like that feeling of staring into the abyss. It's like 'wow.. this is actually happening'

It feels amazing, everything is so clear, simple, beautiful.

I used to get upset about this experience. I used to say "How rude the universe is.. I didn't ask for this, I'm here and I cant get out.. without pain and dying.. I am doomed to slowly die, existence is a punishment"

It really upset me.

Now I look at the situation completely different and think "Ohhhh now I get it.. This is AWESOME"

This is all very real, and it scares me a little! In a good way

I love the article.

So, If all realities are dictated to us by our paradigms, Is there such thing as one true reality? The reality of 'whats actually going on'

explained with an example i use:
Guy jumps out of a building thinking he can fly.. that's his reality.. the actual reality is: .. somebody's gotta clean that up..

As a dream symbol it makes sense to me; projecting the joy of sweet presence in my dream as sweet edible treats on the top of a tongue; I had a dream about that once.

While being awake I see it as level confusion, as in confusing the joy of sweet edible treats (the body level) with the joy of sweet presence (the mind).

Unfortunately there is no "first" in my mind

Exactly! The feeling of presence, that subtle pleasurable feeling you get while being it.. it has a sweet sort of taste or texture to it..

Wow! What a thrill to be able to talk to you while being absolutely consumed by your book! Sign of the times!

To elaborate on what's going on, I feel like I've unlocked myself, I am now completely confident in anything I'm doing, I'm completely aware of whats going on in relationships around me, I can do weird things now like get really accurate information from body language than ever before. I've been able to apply myself to tasks so easily now too. It's really an amazing experience.

I'm finding it arising in others too! Two friends that I have only met recently are experiencing similar things.

None of us are particularly new-agey, very much athiestic, I know a lot of this stuff is very hard to prove with science and quantify.. But if it could be quantified, I swear your book Eye of Dreams absolutely nails the theories.

As a first year psych student, I know that this stuff is going to be important for me in the years to come.

Thank you SO much Tony. I would love to have a big long chat with you one day.

General Discussion / Some concepts to discuss

« on: February 03, 2014, 02:44:49 AM »

Hi guys!

I thought It would be nice to discuss a few concepts I've been thinking about lately and get some other views. Here goes: 

The 'Astral' plane that is often referred to in religious and new-age material is real. Although it exists not as people think. It exists in the world of the really really small, beyond what we can see with a microscope. You can traverse this plane in the form of some sort of subatomic particle?

Have you ever wondered why we love to sit and watch the camp fire? A 'camp-fire' is obviously a huge part of early human history. Is being drawn to the camp-fire something that is passed down through the 'behavioural pool' as Tony talks about in his book 'Eye of Dreams'?

The feeling of slowly overflowing joy that we get from being present, in the moment, fully conscious. Does anyone else find that this feeling is sweet? sweet as in like honey or sugar. The feeling of joy has a sweetness to it. What came first? The joy of sweet presence or the joy of sweet edible treats?


Let me know your thoughts

Hi Tony,

Wow.. after searching for answers to what I am experiencing I stumbled upon your article 'diving into the depths of mind'. http://dreamhawk.com/body-and-mind/diving-into-the-depths-of-mind/ It is such an amazing feeling knowing that what I am experiencing is shared by others.

I am powering through your book Eye of Dreams that you mentioned in the article. It is absolutely kicking my butt! Every paragraph imparts an amazing truth or a huge realisation on its own. How is this book not in our schools and universities?

I just want to say thank you Tony, thank you. It is so nice to know that I am not going crazy and that this is a natural evolution of consciousness.

My first reaction to cosmic consciousness was pure terror. I was so frightened by the vastness of the void that I had a panic attack, I thought that I gave myself some form of psychosis or derailment from reality. I would get adrenaline rushes whenever I looked at the moon because I could 'feel' the distances involved.. I could 'feel' how truly isolated this planet is. I would even feel a sinking feeling while cooking soup, It was like I was experiencing the amazing vastness of what was happening inside the cooking pot!

Working with a psychotherapist the whole experience has become such a positive one. I am now fearless in the face of the void and it feels absolutely exhilarating. It has completely revolutionised my life. I can do things now that I never thought possible.

I endeavour to read all your books. Thank you so much!
