    I am glad that you liked it much, Ruth. I think what Bruce Lee is reflecting there rises from the philosophy as espoused in the ancient Chinese work, Tao Te Ching, whose authorship is ascribed to Lao Tzu. Verse eight in the Tao Te Ching, as translated by Addiss and Lombardo, contains this:

    Quote:Best to be like water,
    Which benefits the ten thousand things
    And does not contend.
    It pools where humans disdain to dwell,
    Close to the Tao.

    Of course, this is a Bruce Lee video and thus, there is some level of violence displayed. I put that out as a disclaimer so that people know what is contained in this excerpt of an interview with Bruce Lee. However, for me, strictly after filtering every and all form of physical violence that I completely personally abhor; it contained words that beautifully articulates the spiritual nature of Catalysts, as we know it from the LOO, and our ability to react to it in an individually authentic sense.

    Quote:93.11 Questioner: I would like, if possible, an example of the activity we call Catalyst of the Mind in a particular individual undergoing this process. Could Ra give an example of that?

    Ra: I am Ra. All that assaults your senses is catalyst. We, in speaking to this support group through this instrument, offer catalyst. The configurations of each in the group of body offer catalyst through comfort/discomfort. In fact all that is unprocessed that has come before the notice of a mind/body/spirit complex is catalyst.

    93.12 Questioner: Then presently we receive catalyst of the mind as we are aware of Ra’s communication and we receive catalyst of the body as our bodies sense all of the inputs to them, but could Ra then describe catalyst of the spirit, and are we at this time receiving that catalyst and if not, could Ra give an example of that?

    Ra: I am Ra. Catalyst being processed by the body is catalyst for the body. Catalyst being processed by the mind is catalyst for the mind. Catalyst being processed by the spirit is catalyst for the spirit. An individual mind/body/spirit complex may use any catalyst which comes before its notice, be it through the body and its senses or through mentation or through any other more highly developed source, and use this catalyst in its unique way to form an experience unique to it, with its biases.

    I love Bruce Lee, also Chuck Norris (who appears occasionally in some of these vids). When my son was young and wanted to take a martial arts class I was concerned specifically about the "emotional content" the instructor would ask him to engage. I did not wish my son to simply use "anger" (as Bruce Lee mentions here). So to be certain that I trusted the instructor, I took the first class with my son. I've never regretted it, and it was another interesting vehicle for my spiritual education.

    As evidenced by the Ra quote you included ". . .assaults your senses" - this place is filled with many types of violence and it is helpful to understand that strong action is not necessarily bad.

    If aliens walked amongst us, would we notice.

    Also. Sweet jesus there are so many odd things to see, nothing like the 1980's gray/human hybrids becoming a reality but in colorful colors so they are the opposite of grays.

    The video was very surreal to watch, Cyan. I did not know that people were going to such lengths to look like perfect Barbie dolls.

    Though I make no judgment, I however, personally, did not feel any sort of sexual attraction when I saw the video. Whereas, when women look comfortable and confident with what they possess and keep working on it to make it better through natural processes, they look very beautiful and attractive to my eyes.

    Of course, I am no Adonis myself, but a very average guy! :p BigSmile

    Dont think sexual you...... Redrayer you. Think higher, think ambassador, think aliens, think a pretty clearly non human exterior... Think how easy it would be to say "oh its just makeup" i mean come on, look at the body proportions and tell me that that is from the same species as half the people here. Dunno. I feel like the energies are not of a human and that i'm not looking at a human.

    I understand what you are getting at. Well, we are moving strongly into fourth density (according to the LOO), and Ra said there will be people from elsewhere, too.

    I'd agree with Cyan - not human. Some other being type. Interesting.

    Confused - the global warming animals committing suicide vid is so very, very sad. Made me cry.

    The basketball video reminds me of how I get through most days. I must, I can, I will, I can, I must . . . . just do it.

    Very true, Ruth. But what are we going to do about it? The message of folks like Ra over thousands of years has simply been that we are responsible for ourselves at every level - individually, socially and globally.

    Of course, folks like Ra can come in and teach the cosmic laws and the principles of evolution. However, we have to drink the water at the river. As a race, we are stubborn not to help ourselves and each other for the most part, in my opinion. That is why probably Ra stated that the possibility/probability vortexes indicate a vast majority of us repeating third density.

    The greatest trouble is that love requires being greatly vulnerable and when we do that as a mark of our desire to serve, we get so brutally and traumatically get hit on our heads figuratively, often, that we never again are able to get up. And then, we end up as the folks requiring the capricious help of people around us. As Lord Jesus remarked -- ...The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. [Matthew 26:41, English Standard Version (©2001)]

    Hiya confused.

    Dropping by here again. Busy all the way till 2daysbefore 12/21/2012. Damn these exams

    I have been pulled out of my body very briefly last night. Not sure who did it but I hope it was in good intention. It's like a reminder, a promise that I shall walk the steps when I'm ready.
    I felt my soul leave the crown chakra and into a void of white. It feels so free, out of chain and this physical vessel. I felt alive! Kind of got scared though cause I didn't know if it was real or some fake mind control from Orion. I need to work on resolving my fears and defining/radiating my love and vibrations. I heard the sound of earth as well (right ear) It's rotating core, vibrating this deep resonant hum that is cyclical, it was so powerful!

    Hope it's a sign that I am doing okay haha Smile I ask for forgiveness in my wrong doings and am thankful that this year has been really treating me well.

    I hope everyone else is doing okay, love and light!

    I try to do my part, Confused. Funny, just a few minutes ago I saw the following post on a friend's facebook page. What do you think?

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    [font=Tahoma]Being Green


    Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.

    The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days."

    The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment f or future generations."
    She was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.
    Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were truely recycled.

    But we didn't have the green thing back in our day. Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags, that we reused for numerous things, most memorable besides household garbage bags, was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our schoolbooks. This was to ensure that public property, (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags.

    But too bad we didn't do the green thing back then. We walked up stairs, because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.

    But she was right. We didn't have the green thing in our day.
    Back then, we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throwaway kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.

    But that young lady is right; we didn't have the green thing back in our day. Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.

    But she's right; we didn't have the green thing back then.
    We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.

    But we didn't have the green thing back then.
    Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.

    But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then?
    Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smartass young person.
    [/font]

    As for your statement about never being able to get up again - I disagree. I think sometimes we choose not to get up again, but we are always able. The choice is always there. Just do it.
