Thus works the perfect<br />reward-and-punishment, cause-and-effect, code of the universe. We<br />live out in our present life what we wrote out in our last. But the<br />great moral thriller also orders us to rage against karma and its despotic<br />dictates. It teaches us to subvert it. To change it. It tells us we<br />also write out our next lives as we live out our present.<br />~ The Alchemy of Desire – Tarun J. Tejpal<br /><br />That said, I think you're on the right track across the board. If you're reading <i>Biology of Consciousness</i> now, you probably ran across the section where I discuss Michael Bradley's citation of the notion of "controlling field." It's quite similar to the idea of a blueprint. I don't know where the term "controlling field" originated, but the blueprint was revealed to me as it "overlaid" my body. I feel that it exists outside the body, but cannot prove it by anything else than my own experience and the scattered reports, such as the one Michael quotes.<br /><br />I also think that symmetrical persons don't need to wonder about the blueprint for the very fact that their symmetry makes it superfluous. What's more, I wonder about how symmetrical persons make so many wrong-headed, self-destructive life style decisions when their symmetry places all teh tools for self-actualization at their disposal — the primary tool being an unfettered, symmetrical body that, should they proceed with meditation, would open up the secrets of consciousness with a lot less struggle that I underwent.

Additionally, in my short 41 years of being in this body, I've come across others from different mystic circles in the west, who've confirmed that their "secret" practices involve spinal breathing and consciously moving energy up the spine. <br /><br />Regarding Kundalini, It seems as if the experience differs from person to person. Like for you, your body required an overhaul due to your accident. In my case I was born with a disfigurement so I am not entirely sure if the blueprint I saw was the same as the blueprint you saw in terms of imagery and presentation. I've read all of your books and am in the middle of your latest one but I am still uncertain. That said, for someone who was born in a perfect body that needed no major repair, what was their experience like? Did they even need to see a blueprint? Did they see a blueprint?!? <br /><br />Nonetheless, it does seem like the beginning of a convergence between the metaphysical explorers and the scientific community. I mean, at some point it is going to be completely obvious that conscious forces are behind the evolutionary process as well as the formation of matter. There's no other reasonable answer right now and there never will be. <br /><br />But what is of considerable interest to me, personally, is something you've written a couple of times in your articles. You've stated that the Primal Spirit had revealed to you that we are to evolve into pure spirit. I can see this. In fact, to me it only makes sense that we do. I can't begin to tell you how tickled my imagination was when I read that, JJ. But I am beginning to view evolution as the Wild West where the chips fall where they may simply because it is fascinating to witness the outcome of it all. Sure, there's a path. Sure, there is the non-local Invisible Hand that guides with love and intelligence, but there is also the creative imagination within us all which creates because it loves to do so. <br /><br />I'm curious as to what your thoughts are on the marriage of technological implants and the body? Because it's coming. Hanshanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297053798245804731noreply@blogger.com
