Imagine my surprise, to find that Kelly Howell has a webpage and weekly podcast event (I'm a fan of her mind opening CD/meditative guides). Further imagine my surprise, to see that I'd just missed her weekly podcast - with one of my strongest influences (supporters really) of how I think 'things are' - Rob Bryanton!
Certainly the biggest sync I've had in a week or 2 at least - and exciting at that!
Rob is the creator of the incredibly important (and viral) understanding of the dimensions we call 'reality'.
Rob Bryanton's 'Imagining the 10th Dimension'
(inside sync - Rob 'stumbled' on (nothing is by chance, everything is for a reason) my bonsai blog months back - and 'that' is what led me to discovering him!)
Here is the podcast from May 13th. Can't believe I missed it, but only by a few days..
Rob Bryanton discusses 'beyond the 3rd dimension' on Kelly Howell's Podcast
Probably the one thing that gave me shivers (and I will have to go back and listen to the entire podcast now) is when Rob mentions the theory of another thinker, that discussed 'black holes' inside humans. This person's viewpoint of the dimensions and how they work differs from my own, but that someone else also had the same concept as myself about 'black holes' existing within us was amazing to hear. See my own post about 'lightful black holes' being in actuality - our Chakras
What appeals to me about Rob and his ideas - is that it so mirrors mine (He's had more time to think , build, and advance his ideas - that elusive 'time' feature), however he and I are not unique - indeed Rob is voicing what many are beginning to perceive, and what many have thought for likely thousands of years (One can certainly go back to the respective times of the Sumerians, Mayans, Egyptians, and also concepts in Hinduism to see that man has been thinking not only about their place in the cosmos, but that the cosmos has more to offer than what we are able to readily experience in the '3D' of the 3rd dimension). As a friend of mine puts it, living in the '3d' can be hard when you're always getting glimpses from the 5th! (This told to me almost a year before I discovered Rob's work on the 'net)
That is another amazing fact about this podcast; that he discusses much the 5th dimension and how much of spiritual and meditative travel, messaging, conversations beyond the physical - paranormal inter-connectivity is through the 5th dimension or even higher. Also the explanation of the differences of the 4th dimension to the 5th (and higher) when trying to understand images or events that have transpired during meditation, dream travel, or much of the sensual experiences that are often 'written off' as insanity, or worse in other times.
Thank you Rob and Kelly and those like you for being the beacons and offering open discussion for all on these important viewpoints. Indeed we are 'expanding' and I found the jumping jesus concept not only truthful but something we should indeed ponder. The speed of our technological advancement is indeed moving in leaps and bounds. I hope that our spiritual development is able to walk forward arm in arm with our mind's growth, so the day when we 'can' point to a spark of life and 'name' it, terminology will not split us on what we call this Oneness.
Namaste,

More on Compassion
Maybe I should let an expert speak on the matter.. You can skip to about 30 minutes in when he begins to speak.
Namaste!

What really makes us human
What is the basic component that makes us human? What separates us (in fact it does not separate us, but brings us closer to Nature) from what we consider species that are not 'homo sapien'?
To my humble observations, what makes us 'human' is our compassion for others; humans and others outside our own species alike. It has been argued that in early man, we gathered together simply for protection, and to survive. But what drives this? One may seek protection, but what makes 1 person more 'protective' than another? What does that 'protection' really mean? Does the one 'giving' protection, do it for their own 'protective' gain - what is their initiative to be a protector?
Compassion is obvious in every form of life outside the 'human' realm; Care given to the newly born, unconscious concern for the pack/mates. Concern for elderly (Elephants will stand for hours, even days it's been documented, around a member who has passed of old age), and even peers (most species of apes and gorillas 'groom' each other in a most expressive form of care that we humans can readily understand.) Dogs and Cats care for their youth, and eventually their pack members. Why??
This is Compassion. It exists in all beings, all creatures to one level or another. Concern for the well-being of others. Caring for another to enhance their well-being. Protection, for another's longevity. Providing nourishment for another, this is all compassion. It is a deeply rooted part of all organic life on this planet. It is the one component that does unite us all in this Oneness existence. Compassion and Concern for others - for all, for One.
How can we propagate Compassion even more? Certainly compassion exists in this world - however it oddly finds itself at the bottom of the list when governments meet, companies compete, and political parties speak.
We can propagate Compassion, by being the example; Many will say (and quote this line) ' an eye for an eye'. This thinking lacks compassion. however the parable 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you', this thought generates compassion and concern in the individual, allowing for the growth of compassion towards others.
How do we begin to be more compassionate in our lifes to others, to form a foundation of compassion for daily life? This begins with truthful Mindfulness of yourself, your life, your goals, your desires. Mindfulness is essential. What does this mean?
Mindfulness is the ever present awareness of self and also realization of lack of self through, the first breath of waking, to the last breath before sleep.
It is the awareness of everything around you, and at the same time, lack of self-concern while being completely Mindful and aware of all that is around you..
This is not something done overnight - for some it can take a lifetime, others, intense study and practicing instills this. For others (myself included) it is a daily ritual of remembering 'to' be Mindful of every thing, every being, every insect, animal, plant that I see. Every cloud - noticing the blueness of the sky! Noticing sadness in others around me - taking an active role to use this Mindfulness to assist where I may.
Complete mindfulness, is compassionate living.
Compassion, 'is' what makes us Human.
