Infinite Divine Intelligence

It is becoming increasingly evident that the realm we live in is more of a giant hologram than what we believe. Every particle that exists in the Universe, contains the image of the whole which is characteristic of a hologram. If this is a Truth, then all of manifested life and being emanates from a single source of causation that would include all particles existing in the Universe. It means that everything from sub atomic particles to giant galaxies and everything in between contains information of the whole.
What is this strange phenomenon telling us? Are all of us humans, like the small cut off pieces of film that contain the image of the whole? If this is true, then we possess the image of the Creator and all of us are part of the whole and at-one with it. It would mean that all the information about the Universe is contained within all of us. Is this why we can explore and uncover things about the Universe because that information is already within all of us? Is this perhaps the reason why man can mentally extract knowledge regarding the Universe without leaving the seat of observation on earth? Is education perhaps a discovery about what is already known to the subconscious Mind?




I believe that in the near future it will be discovered that true science and true metaphysics are not at all divided. The division that exists is only an illusion of rigid belief systems. Philosophy is the "Implicate" or "Inner Knowledge" of reality, while science is the "Explicate" or "External" knowledge. When these two are allowed to combine, a picture of the whole Truth will emerge. A vision of reality on a grander scale.


Spring - gardening season!


I've been surrounded by plants and flowers lately which is a really good thing.  I've had a lot of flowers in the house, at the moment I have some beautiful orchids from my Aunt's garden and some of the most fragrant freesias from my Nan's garden.  I adore freesias, especially the ones that smell so beautiful.  I always seek them out over Spring if I haven't planted any myself.

I've planted some cute little pansies in my fence planter boxes and yesterday my friend Harvey came over and we got a whole lot of cheap pots and filled them with tomatoes, lettuces, spinach and strawberries.  I wanted basil too but couldn't find any.  I just have to get some mulch and those are done.  My japanese maple is full of gorgeous red leaves, hopefully it will put on a bit more growth this spring.

Lastly I was given the most gorgeous bonsai by my friend Judy.  It's a rhododendron and it's just the cutest little plant.  I have it inside on my coffee table and I think it's not far off flowering.  It's got a lot of new growth on it too.

Harvs and I went out for dinner last night then caught the New Zealand movie Boy at Cinema Europa.  We were 2 of 4 people in the whole cinema which was awesome.  The movie was lovely, it has a very unique style and I really enjoyed it.

My recovery seems to have plateaued and I've been waking up feeling revolting - it has been taking me hours to feel normal and like I want to do anything.  Not sure if I've been pushing myself too hard or if this is just normal.  Today I was meant to go back to the specialist but I didn't feel up to it so I cancelled my appointment.  I plan on doing absolutely nothing all day long.

i love me a good storm

 

Dec 11th,2010 post by Sai pradeep

I've always been a little addicted to storms.  They fascinate and scare me at the same time.  When I was little I never gave them much thought.  Then one year we had a humid summer and storm after storm rolled up the valley and onto the hills where I lived.  My neighbour and I were playing on a swing in our carport, totally ignoring what was happening on the weather front.  Lightning struck close by and scared the living bejeezus out of me and ever since then I've felt such mixed emotions when storms come through.  I'm enthralled and I love the energy and the feelings they invoke in me, but at the same time I'm a little scared, almost wanting to put my head under the pillow!!  That same summer lightning hit a dead tree, remnants of Ash Wednesday, and it exploded into shards, all over our block.  The thick sword grass at the bottom (we lived on a bush block) was completely flattened.  It was an eerie phenomenon to look at.


So today we've had 2 storm fronts roll through.  The first I watched from the safety of my spare room window, as I was backing up my music onto my new HDD that replaced the one that carked it.  There were a few close strikes of lightning and I had to cross my fingers that we wouldn't lose power, hence mucking up my backing up.  The second front came through almost on sunset.  I'd been keeping an eye on the B.O.M weather radar and made a snap decision to jump in the car, camera in hand, and head down to the beach.  I'm very glad I did as this was one of the more picturesque storm fronts I've seen.

This was the view as I drove towards the beach, luckily it's a 10 minute drive so I knew I had plenty of time.

Isn't it just a lovely sight?  The bay was flat and the clouds ominous. All the photos I took required no editing.

A young lass & her dog were exercising on the beach, I hope they got home before it rained!

Brown beach

Dec 11th,2010 by Sai pradeep 

I caught up with a friend today who doesn't live too far away and we decided to head down to the beach, as it was going to be warm.  She was keen to check out Seaford beach as I'd been going on about it in the past and she wanted to see it for herself.  

As we headed up the same path that I've walked up hundreds of times, I could see the old tree was still standing. That's always one of the first things I check for at the start of every Summer season. (though this is an old photo, it's missing one of those limbs this year & it's looking more haggard).

As we headed over the little rise we could smell a brine like smell.  Then we noticed the water was brown.  Ew.  I've never seen this in the whole time I've been going to Seaford, which is probably 15 years or so.

Upon closer inspection the water was full of mashed up seaweed.  The waters edge was absolutely littered with dead stinking pippies, shells and weirdest of all, arms of starfish (do starfish have legs? Maybe there were legs too!).  I have no idea what has caused this but I really hope that this stink and muck clears out before proper Summer begins.  Or I'm going to have to find myself a new beach to frequent.

After a snooze on the beach we headed into the town centre for some lunch then sat on the end of the pier, soaking in the glorious weather and ignoring the dim-witted boys that really should have been at school.  It was superb.  The brown water seemed to continue right until Frankston, but I noticed that it wasn't at the mouth of the Patterson River.  Hmmm.

Of course the weather is changing, as I type, so the weekend doesn't look too brilliant.  This is my last free weekend as I start work this week and my weekends disappear.

How To Flip Around Your Negative Situation


When you are in a miserable state of mind, it is really simple to attract more miserable feelings and circumstances. If you are not careful your misery can take over your day, week, year or in the worst cases, life. When you confront a bad situation, think about what good will it do for you to harbor these thoughts. What value does it serve you to continue thinking or discussing it? Also think about what good can you do to make your situation better and more enjoyable? What good can you take out of this bad situation? Anyone can do this. Anyone can flip their terrible situation into a more enjoyable one. Listen to my podcast for more details.

What stands in the way from achieving your goals?


A lot of us fail at our goals before we even start them. The reason for this is because we are afraid of how it’s going to be. How it’s going to be along the way, how it’s going to be when we get there.
This is the fear of the unknown coming through. One should realize that all of this pondering leads to nowhere. In order to break through these obstacles one has to take action. Even the smallest action is important. As each action is taken, your confidence will build up. When you don’t take actions towards your desires, they eat away at you. You beat yourself up over and over.
The pain of not doing it ends up being greater than the anticipation of doing it. As each action is taken on your part, the more you will feel good as you are making progress. As long as you keep focused on the light at the end of the tunnel, you will know that the future is bright.
Happy Success To You!

The Other Side of Reality

I recorded this podcast more than 4 months ago before I was too educated on the material that I spoke of. So not all of what I stated was based on fact. A lot of it is based on opinions, theories, and ideas. I discuss vibrations, frequencies, auras, theories, religion, subconscious, spirits, breathing techniques to open your subconscious mind. I hope you enjoy my discussion. I am welcome to your ideas as well. Please feel free to post your feedback.
Some of this material may be a bit controversial for sensitive ears, so it is not suitable for all listeners.

Global Universal Power of the Pope !

Hello everyone...

Do do recall this headline a couple years ago...?

-----------------------------------
ONE WORLD CHURCH STARTS UP!

---United Religions on Track ~ With Modifications--- June 1997, Episcopalian Bishop William Swing jubilantly announced "Tell the people there is a UNITED RELIGIONS" -Catholic Family News, Nov 1997, Vol #4. Issue # 11

-----------------------------------
Rather strange eh? A one world church? With all the thousands of denominations worldwide they are forming a one world church? How's this possible? How can the Beast of Revelation convince people that all the worlds churches should join hands as one? Many modern day "well learned" scoffers not 10 years ago are now being seen as unwise, and all those that proclaimed this prophecy are now starting to appear wise. Yet, still, the same people that ignored the warnings of this one world church are no doubt the same that are fillings its pews. And, WHO do you think the collective Churches of the World will "pick" as the one who should sit in the seat as the leader of this one world church? One guess... I'll give you a hint... Read the next article...

CHURCHES AGREE THAT POPE HAS OVERALL AUTHORITY

Electronic Telegraph-UK News
May 13, 1999 Oliver Poole http://www.freerepublic.com/

THE Pope was recognised as the overall authority in the Christian world by an Anglican and Roman Catholic commission yesterday which described him as a "gift to be received by all the Churches". ...if a new united Christian Church was created it would be the 'Bishop of Rome who would exercise a universal primacy. The 43-page document, The Gift of Authority, has been produced by the 18-member Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission, after five years of debate. The commission concluded that the Bishop of Rome had a "specific ministry concerning the discernment of truth" and accepted that only the Pope had the moral authority to unite the various Christian denominations. Mark Birchall, a member of the Church of England Evangelical council, said: "It speaks as if the Bishop of Rome has always been on the side of the angels while it is well known that for several centuries past the Bishop of Rome was certainly not." The Rt Rev Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, Bishop of Arundel and Brighton and the other co-chairman, added: "The primacy of the Pope is a gift to be shared."
