Nickname, a friend of mine sent me the link to a youtube video where Tom Campbell describes his experience as a child, when several non-physical beings gave him training in how to operate in the non-physical world (or what some people call “the theta universe”) in which there are no physical bodies and beings communicate telepathically etc. Tom said he has been on this journey for many lifetimes. I thought you might be interested and if so, the main part of this story starts at about 11:30: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDeL2wOW5Hs

Thanks Ann:-))) warm regards to you and hubby.

Hi Nickname. Thanks for the compliment. 🙂 However, this “smart” person wasn’t sure why you wanted me to post something on that link you gave me. To tell you the truth, I’ve been gradually decreasing the time I spend on blogs and forums, so I don’t have much reach for getting involved with another one. 🙁

As for your question about Tom Campbell, I’ve never seen any mention of Scientology – but I’ve seen many parallels between the two philosophies. Tom’s constructs actually broaden the understanding of many things in Scientology, IMO. And Ken Wilber’s Integral theory does so even more. Here’s a link to Wilber’s Integral Life website: https://www.integrallife.com/

Since you seemed to like Tom Campbell, here’s a link to a series of talks he gave in Canada (and there are many others on youtube) that cover his whole Theory of Everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1vYHOPFgcg

Cheers!

No, no and no. Just me, being dense. I never got the, “you’ve got to be cruel to be kind” mathematics.

And Oracle, I understand that you are coming from a good place and that you are not defending the IAS per say. There are always the realities that exist in any given situation, and sometimes these realities are hard to face. Especially when we know and like someone, or when we see how hard people are worked in the church and are then discarded like a used Kleenex.

Hi OSD,You lucky dog riding in the ocean in Jamaica, Your top Arabian sounds so smart & beautiful.I had a one half Arabian & Quarter Horse palomino for years.We used to beat the pants off the push button children’s hunters in New England. Locket was her name smart as a whip & was so named because she could jump over 4 feet so even if one locked a gate she could jump or open it too.A nice little respite to post with you about good days gone by.Ron is still an sob & anti Christ to me too though.Always Ann B.

Hi Pepper, Thank you for your post.You are a wonderful person with a great perspective.Love your posts.XO Ann B.

Ann B, our top Arabian was Comar Bay Brummel. He had won twice in the western US, which was quite a feat back then. For $25,000, you would get a brood mare and breeding rights to our top Arabian. They were so smart, we had to actually tie the gates together as some the horses could open them with their mouths. I’ve been riding since I was 15. When my wife and I were on Jamaica years ago, we went horseback riding in the interior & on the beach. They, the ranch hands took off the saddles and we rode the horses bareback into the gorgeous Caribbean sea! I’ve never had a better horseback ridding experience. The water temp was about 80 degrees!
