As the intensity grew it reached a point where my creativity was spurted to such an extent that there was not moment without total frenetic activity. Then the bubble burst and i felt the feeling of total harmony, peacefullness, joyousness and connectedness. There were many realisations, but one of them was the perception change and the mind set that went with it. Thank you always Namaste friend The light emanates outwardly always derick Hello Robin,
The video is great– i had an experience a few years back where there was this conscious tussle between the right brain and the left brain–at times it felt like i was on this knife edge of existence.
As the intensity grew it reached a point where my creativity was spurted to such an extent that there was not moment without total frenetic activity.
Then the bubble burst and i felt the feeling of total harmony, peacefullness, joyousness and connectedness.
There were many realisations, but one of them was the perception change and the mind set that went with it.
Thank you always
Namaste friend
The light emanates outwardly always

I think this may be because everything is connected; essentially, we are the light trails and their existence does not "materialize" until our motion (which could be a choice, a decision, a thought, etc.) manifests itself. In other words, the light trails could be the effects of a choice, and the effects of a specific choice cannot Be until after the choice has been made. Prior to the making of the choice, all possibilities are infinitely in a potential state of existence, simultaneously and equally unknown. Once the choice is made the "light trails" (or the effects of that choice) coalesce and begin to take form...until the next choice. :-) This is one of my favorite posts of yours, Robin! :-) Hey, you know what I think about why the light trails do not come into existence when attention is focused on them?

Some of these comments make me feel like I did as a kid in science class sitting in the back hoping I would not get called on! But I guess we are all entitled to have a go. I have just returned from a quick one night trip to the Ruahines - just felt a need to Centre myself before a very busy few weeks, and then a 4 night trip awaits. I pitched my tent on the high part of the forest where it meets the open tops and I just sat and swayed with the breeze and felt part of Everything. Once again I could hear your Laughter. I returned today and decided to trim a tree that has grown over the garage and starting to rub hard against it. I climbed on the roof with my saw, above the Kowhai tree and the Feijoa tree with its lovely fragnant smell and soon to bear its beautiful fruit for us to eat, and as I was about to saw the branch the swaying overcame me again here in the city! I sat up there amongst the trees, listening to the sounds of the branches, of the Tui's song, and finally I climbed back down the ladder leaving the tree as it was. I couldn't do it today. I know this has little to do with your post but it was on my mind, and I am smiling. Aroha, Robb Kia ora Robin,

Now I realized I missed coming by your wonderful site.Thank you for sharing Robin! <strong> Robin replies</strong> Dear Argos, I am touched and honored by these words from your heart. They are both wise and honest. First, you have amazing eyes of your own that see the world around you in a most beautiful and very unique way. I know this from visiting your site. ---Also, yes, some people might need to at first jump into a slightly bigger bowl and then their next jump into an even bigger bowl, and each jump they move closer and closer to the big sea full of infinite possibilities. At the time that I jumped from my little fish bowl directly into the infinite sea, I was dying. Sometimes when we are close to death there is a lot of incentive to reach out for as much Life as possible. When one is close to death they often have nothing left to lose. I do not regret my grand leap of faith. I left death behind in the little fish bowl and became more Life than I ever imagined.

As starflight comments, "life is a school." A person can shift vantage points, alter focus of perception, and choose to sense what did not appear there before. And yet, nothing has moved in ways humans typically understand. Rather perception can be consciously or unconsciously shifted. The energy vibrations you choose to register changes according to your free will. Whenever you open yourself, you realize you connect to everything, everywhere. It is not simply observation which allows you to witness and experience nature and events unfolding around you. Your soul is fundamentally part of it. This is the oneness that brings you back to reconnect with the core of your inner being. Its the truth. <strong>Robin replies</strong> Dear Liara, I resonate deeply with these lines of yours: "Whenever you open yourself, you realize you connect to everything, everywhere. It is not simply observation which allows you to witness and experience nature and events unfolding around you. Your soul is fundamentally part of it." This is absolutely true. I guess I would say that we are not just part of it; we ARE it. And not simply at our core but in our entirety always and forever. And I speak only my truth here. (I try not to tell others definitive truth because I limit myself and them when I do, because I have experienced truth as limitless and forever evolving, as is all of existence.) But as I was going to say, my experience has been that when we merge with all existence around us we simple merge. There is no connecting back to anything. We BECOME everything. We are all capable of living in this way. We already are. ---As I've grown older, I have come to embrace that people "open" themselves in different ways. We all are possibly walking in the same direction but we may take different paths to our on going destination. I personally tend to live my life wide open. It was a conscious choice I made many many years ago, and one I made so deeply that at this point in my life it is simply who I am. It is no longer a choice I have to consciously make. I also tend to be a very visceral person or a touchy-feely person who approaches things from my heart, intuitively, effortlessly through all of my senses and full body/spirit/soul awareness, BUT that said, I have embraced that not everyone approaches their path the way I do. I have seen those we were very left brained and approached "opening" or oneness through math, reading, writing, science, etc. I once knew someone who was a brilliant mathematician. This person appeared to most people as very dry, technical, socially inept and unaware of the world around them, BUT in front of a chalkboard with a piece of chalk explaining Einstein's theories and in depth mathematical equations they transformed into a highly spiritual being, an exquisitely beautiful glowing being, one who touched the face of the Universe/their god through math.

This whole topic is so juicy because it hits into the vast "unknown", which I think fascinates most people in some way or another. I love the mystery of Life and hope that there are always mysteries; they make us dream and often rise to greatness within ourselves. We expand in the presence of "the great mystery", just as we do standing in a field at night looking at heaven full of stars. Thank you my friend.
