>Eye do not always give roles, for many roles must be discovered.
This made me think of some other words from our Friend Strange that may fit here.
Have patience and trust.
Great read! I really enjoyed the part the author got into the next layer…the 3D alignments if you will.
Thanks for Sharing!
I took some time off from posting yesterday and spent time Listening to what the Universal wanted me to Learn and Do. I now come back to anons-R-US with a bit of what I Learned.
This thread needs some Love. I want to post a Non-Coincidence that occurred to me yesterday.
Strange talks often of the Game of Chess. I got to play chess yesterday… I spent some time with a Bishop. An actual congregation wielding Bishop. This was one of my test/lessons yesterday and it was amazing!
In the past, I have shunned religion and highly religious people. I have felt uncomfortable and unsure of myself. I also could never comprehend how they so blindly believe. I would have either avoided this contact with the Bishop completely or attacked and battled with him.
Instead, I welcomed the encounter, opened my Heart, and Listened. We discussed at length doctrine, his beliefs, and mine. This was not a debate because I was not there for debate and he responded in kind. I learned much about him and why he believes what he believes. And he was open to my views since I am not a drastic departure from his belief system.
We believe in a Creator, Love, a Path, a Reason, and continual growth. Great foundation to start. We discussed many points where I view his perspective to be narrowed or limited. And he questioned me on many of my points and why I felt them correct.
Ultimately It was not a win/lose situation. I spoke Truth with Love and I believe a seed was planted. We have set more time to sit and talk in the future and I now consider a man I would not have associated with in the past, a Friend.
I was able to sit with a "Man of God" who has dedicated his life to his faith and open his blinders just a bit through Listening and Love. Even if only one point in our discussion sunk in, that ripple effect can be substantial.
My White/Black Bishop now has a Grey seed in him. This will be won by Love.
First off… Welcome, BornAgainAnon! I think you will find some amazing material around here if you stay open minded and search.
If I may muse a bit with you on this. This is similar to the discussion I had with the Bishop. You state a lot and ask some massive questions. May I start with small questions back?
Disclaimer: Religion and Belief are deeply personal. Please don't take anything I say as an attack or to discredit. I believe the structure you have outlined is a great start and tons can be discussed with it.
I believe in reincarnation, but not because a religion tells me it is so. From your writing, you believe in a God and you believe there is a path back to him. Foundationally we are the similar.
What is YOUR purpose in this life?
Do You believe you get only one shot…. one mortal life?
From your writing, it sounds to me that you believe you multiple lifes but get "stuck" in a cycle until you find the right path. Is that an ok summary?
Hypothetically, lets say you get unstuck and return to God or Go to Heaven. What then?
Do you continue to learn and grow in Heaven or are you "done" (know all, see all, etc)?
If you continue to learn in Heaven isn't that just reincarnation in a different location?
If you are "done" what then? What do you feel your purpose to be?
Strange Strange Strange. You're awesome!
I am genuinely entertained and joyful that you judged me as a shill! I sensed that through our previous interactions, and I love it! Our paths seem to have an odd twist to them. I have been with you since early on, but not necessarily as a follower. I know we were supposed to "clash" together at this time/space and it has definitely helped me grow more than you may know. My tests would not have progressed without you and the other anons you have assembled.
I would love to hear more of your dream if you are willing to share.
I still have a million questions about you, and how you fit into this awesomeness that is happening. One of these days I hope I can sit back and really chat with you….maybe over a scotch and a game of Poker?? :)
For a time my tests tossed a major red flag up about interacting with you. You were an enigma (maybe a shill) and in this crazy world, perhaps better left alone, but I had a lucid and vivid dream of my own that changed all of that. You were not specifically in the dream (that I am aware of), but it was core to my role here and in continuing to interact.
I'd like to share some of that dream now. It is graphic to an extent, but it is what it is. This was just another tumbler falling into place for me, and more path uncovered that was always right in front of my face.
In this dream, there was a field, scrubby and overgrown. There were Three individuals on the field and me as a fourth, but I was not on the field, I was not part of the action. I was a separate observer to the "Event".
Two men faced each other about 5 feet apart. I was "observing" to one side ~15 feet away, slightly elevated and to the left. The third individual, a woman, was across the field and further away ~40 feet.
My mind had placed faces on these men. Dayrl and Glenn for all you Walking Dead fans out there. Funny things your dreams. I don't have any idea why it was these two were the faces.
Glenn and Daryl were arguing and yelling at each other. Glenn had a Crossbow (Dayrl's), and Dayrl had a shotgun. They were both pointing the weapons at each other. In an instant, the Shotgun fired, and it hit Glenn in the face killing him in stunning detail. The Woman across the field screamed in horror and started screaming in anger at Daryl.
This all happened in vivid detail and color, but for me, it was not horror. I was meant to observe the interaction. In my dream, I could rewind, zoom in, slow time, and move angles.
I rewound the scene and watched closely. Glenn had started to lower the Crossbow, and it began to break apart. Daryl saw this and started to lower the shotgun and it went off. He did not pull the trigger, it just went off.
The lady across the field was the witness to the horrible accident, but she would never see it as an accident and would judge Daryl as a murderer. Daryl would know he didn't intend to kill Glenn but would be racked with guilt and doubt for the rest of his life.
I was there as the Observer, not a Judge, not as a Witness per say, but as an impartial Observer to understand and learn. I was not limited to observe only, but I had to decide if I was supposed to get involved. For those individuals in the event, the lessons are harsh and life-changing. A few words and I could change their paths. That is my test…
This Observer role has been with me for as long as I can remember. Legs planted in both the dark and the light, able to see and understand both and unfortunately being of both. I stand for some reason apart, outside of, and see things from different angles and perspectives. This "outside of" component is what I believe may give off the "Shill" vibe.
I know I can interact, and at times must….at other times, it is not mine to give because there is a lesson to be learned even if painful for those that must learn it. I often play the role of a mirror, standing on the other side of a point, just so there is someone there. At other times I interfere because of my ego, and I am bound to deal with the karmic fallout.
Lately, I am falling much more into the side of getting involved to move the ball across the line. I can not sit back and just watch and trust the plan, I direct and support, but never attack and force.
At the end of this, I don't have a point necessarily but I offer a window into my role and I thank you for being you and filling your role.
Cheers, my Friend!

My BornAgainAnon friend. I'm so glad you are back and that you continue to search. I would love to keep this going as long as you are willing. I don't have all the answers, but I understand a bit of where you are at in the present, and I feel there are just a few small steps that will open a big door in your life.
My good friend WW hits on Supremely important point, but that may be a significant gap to bridge depending on your current state. If I may, Let's look at your post and explore a bit. More small questions back to you as well as a few points of how I/WE look at these concepts. A few little bits of wisdom (that I think you already know) can get you to the place WW outlined.
>What is my/our purpose? That is a really profound question! I would guess it is to know God and make Him known. Second to that is to love and be loved - to serve others, freely. Everything else should flow from that.
I am with you here. Our purpose is still my greatest question and mine evolves as I learn and experience more.
Many on these boards talk about "God" there are many names, all are acceptable. Often here he is referred to as the "One", "Creator", "Source", etc. They all push to the same concept of supreme power and a pure light. Where you may find a difference is that some traditional concepts of "God" have a man on a throne in heaven.
I personally think it would be amazingly arrogant for me to claim I know everything about God. If I knew it all, I would need to BE God. So a face? A place? Knowing his plan fully? That is a big leap for me personally.
There is a PLAN as you state, "love and be loved". This is what WW touched on. I fully agree! The only adjustment I make is "Learn Love and Learn to Be Loved". I feel we are sent here for a lesson. We Learn…
Who does "God" want us to Love? Simple question, but really put some thought into this one. This is a significant point so many people don't seem to comprehend. I still struggle here on some of my interactions on a daily basis.
>I really don't know about reincarnation. It is often considered a "taboo" topic in light of the church's interpretation of Hebrews 9:27 "Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,…" I don't think that is necessarily a denial of reincarnation, since what is judgment? Death? Recycle? Hell?
I believe you are getting to a great point here. You know the answer, you just need to follow your own logic.
Would a loving "God" damn you to eternal hell for not learning a lesson? Who is your Judge?
Who is your harshest critic?
In the afterlife (whatever that may be) would you stand before "God" and try to convince him you are good even if you know you have flaws?
I believe that at that moment, WE decide we have more to learn. We are not perfect, and we are not "God". There will be a truer understanding of ourselves and WE decide our fate, or we still have not learned our lesson.
> I believe this existence on Earth at this moment is hell on earth. One only needs to look around. the proper translation of hell in teh Greek is "grave", anyway. I am ignorant of the philosophies of the ancient eastern peoples and how they viewed their reincarnations. Is there ever really an end to theirs? Or is the next life always based on this life? My guess is that that at the end of the day, there is no escape for them unless they ascend, or in the Christian worldview, are "saved" or "redeemed".
Hell on Earth is sadly reasonably accurate for many of our brothers and sisters on this planet. There is a massive injustice, and certain individuals and "leaders" are causing significant undo pain and suffering.
Do you know of Q and the work being done there?
There are foundational concepts that will help frame this "Hell on Earth" At the core of this concept, however, are a few questions I pose to you again.
Who is responsible for our collective situation?
Who has the power to change this situation?
Who is responsible for my happiness?
Who is keeping you in Hell on Earth?
Are YOU not looking at the Heavenly aspects of this Earth?

> To me, reincarnation implies a death, not just a new level of consciousness. Reincarnation implies a "refleshing", as the word "incarnation" implies. I don't think we are ever "done" as you say. We all created by a creator, and are made in His likeness. So, we are by design creators ourselves. The mysteries of the universe are infinite. We need to be freed to explore our God and ourselves and our universe(s) in joy and amazement.
A agree with your concept of reincarnation. It is a concept of "refresh". This body of mine is temporary. My soul, my source, the core of ME does not die. It has been here a long long time before this body and will be a long long time after.
I don't know what happened before, and I don't know what will happen after. I know my goal is to Learn and do the best I can with what is in front of me. Love and be Loved, help others, not just myself, be "Christ-like" , be a positive force, not a detracting force.
You are here in this time/space for a reason. I believe it is not to sit back and wait for someone to save you, but to become the one you are waiting for.
As my wise and amazing WonderWoman posted above…. "Light on Anon!"
>Sorry for another rambling post…
I love your posts, keep rambling, keep searching, keep growing! I eagerly await our next interaction!
All my Love!
