What is the purpose of this

Hi John,
What is the purpose? Good question.

You say that "I think that what we are doing in this group is developing that dialogue with the collective level of consciousness." I think that you are correct. If we can practice this together I think it is a very worthwhile thing to be doing. It doesn't matter if we are not finding the discussion to be about the answers to world peace or that so far we have had Rubiks Cubes and Teapots because we have to learn the art of having the dialogue this way and of how to really listen to this type of conversation/dialogue/message.

Anyway when you posed this question my I instantly thought of a conversation on evolver from last year which,needless to say - in true synchronistic fashion was started by you!

I thought is was worth posting the link to it because I felt it was relevant and involves several members of T-Cup. Anyway when I saw the name of one of the comment posters I nearly fell over! It was the synchronistic sign that made me 100% sure that this group should read this thread......

Ultimately I think that the purpose of this group may be "To learn the lingo"!

When last I spoke to him on the telephone (mentioned here earlier). I've been wanting to share this other (shorter) video I watched quite a while ago. Now is probably as good a time as I can imagine.

Oh yes, and I'm writing tonight from my new place! TeapotsHappen? Wow. That's a new old thread to me.

The framework presented has taken some time but with all your contributions I am going into orbit now.. Learn the Lingo - Dan I think we're all hot on the trail of the same thing and it's truly paradigm shifting. We're looking for the common language, and it isn't language at all! Communicate -> Connect -> Touch -> Contact is what I'm getting from this when I apply my personal dream sequencing to it.

Nathan, the Akashic field reference gave me confidence to push further with this thought pattern.. to answer the question you posed, YES!! I FEEL this development of interplay is SIGNIFICANT. Yesterday was an absolutely mind-blowing day that first had me checking my back for strings then looking under the bed for pranksters. At the end of the day, I wept as I saw the spiral turn and my spirit be transformed.

I'm in the midst of writing a blog to sum up where I am; finally reached the place where I can tell the story of how I got 'here' to this group with you all, I guess I had to get all the way around and back above the beginning to see it all. From here, it looks like the information I've been tuning into came down as raindrops that puddled, flowed into a stream here, and yesterday the deluge.. went over the falls!!

I will be posting a separate comment on yesterdays synchronicities over on the Waterfall topic. Suffice it to say here that the video above, and the rough sketch you drew of the All-Conscious together with Danielle's calling out the White Horses and Avebury stones may have 'broken open my head' last night when the contents of my day yesterday were stirred in with them. I will definitely be making the drive to Olympia tomorrow...

River, might your friend Riley stop in to the Oly spore Connec'shen?

Teapots away!!

I've reread our posts in the symbol topics, and can't help but wonder where to go next.. not as in a new symbol so much as a next level in communication context. Synchronicities have become a daily, moment by moment occurrence again - and just like with learning a new language, we can understand that something is being said, but we need to speak it more, converse in it, to become fluent.

Quoting John from the opening post, "The language is foreign, maybe to both sides. We have an opportunity to open up this dialogue with new tools and with a new understanding. The new understanding is that it is not external from us, but both an extension of us, and our source."

Now that we are gaining the tools and understanding through expanded awareness and consciousness, how do we capitalize on the aforementioned opportunity to open up the dialogue??

I notice that we have a lot of TCUP members who don't post anything....and there are some of us "regulars" as well. I'm sorry to say I never read through this entire post and comments before today, but want to throw in my two cents:

JET, I like your theory about the three levels of experience and/or development. As we regulars know, we as a group are experiencing numerous synchronicities - which indicates to me that those of us participating the most are either attaining - or existing within, to a large degree - the upper level. To me it's not something outside of ourselves, but rather a part of the cosmos which we are in turn an integral part of - hard to describe here - but that we are exhibiting more connectivity with the unified whole rather than being parceled out into distinct and differentiated parts of an "outside" cosmos. Sorry if that's confusing; sometimes words are inadequate to describe concepts....

What I am getting at is that there is a uniqueness about all individuals, including each of us here...but that we members are also functioning in an "interactive" way with our "higher" selves, that is, the cosmos itself. Oh my, now I am sure I've confused some of us! Myself included! But what it leads to is this: what do we, as a group, share, that leads to this higher level, this dialogue between our individual manifestations and our highest common denominator that IS the cosmos itself?

I am thinking that intelligence, defined here rather arbitrarily as the capacity and the action of high level critical thinking and abstract thought, as well as extreme empathy, are at least two things that facilitate an interface with our higher selves as evidenced in the highest orders of synchronicities (as opposed to mild coincidences or serendipitous events) and in communication with what appear to be "other" intelligences (like the non-human circle makers, and perhaps what might be called interdimensional or extraterrestrial beings, even rocks and trees and clouds, and animals too -). So again, 1) intelligence, and 2) empathy.

If anyone would care to share their own perspective on this, please don't be shy! It's okay to be smart and empathetic - and it's not just about "IQ" or "EQ" as a quantitative measurement! I just sense that these two things, among others perhaps (and please feel free to make suggestions to add to my list, or to detract from my list) are "enablers" when it comes to the third level to which JET refers. Nature/nurture, "soul" or "spirit" evolution, active pineal gland, blood flow to the brain, etc.....these could all be enablers of intelligence and empathy, and they could conceivably also enable the attainment of transcendent experience (like seeing or sensing other extramundane dimensions, for instance) despite one's perceived (or actual, if you prefer) level of intellect or empathic capacity....

Questions...comments...?

I was just looking up Star Wars on Wikipedia and noticed this short paragraph in the notes.....

One of the prominent elements of Star Wars is the "Force", which is an omnipresent form of energy which can be harnessed by those with that ability. It is described in the first produced film as "an energy field created by all living things [that] surrounds us, penetrates us, [and] binds the galaxy together."[3] The Force allows users to perform a variety of supernatural feats (such as telekinesis, clairvoyance, precognition, and mind control) and also can amplify certain physical traits, such as speed and reflexes; these abilities can vary from user to user and can be improved through training. While the Force can be used for good, it has a dark side that, when pursued, imbues users with hatred, aggression, and malevolence. The six films feature the Jedi, who use the Force for good, and the Sith, who use the dark side for evil in an attempt to take over the galaxy.

.....gets you thinking....
