One Subject At a Time
|
Recommended Reading:
I write this page especially for those readers of this site that share thoughts with me through emails. Sometimes I get offered wonderful and inspiring thoughts that trigger me into venturing into new realms. Sometimes, however, I get offered such a huge amount of new thoughts that I need to set some priorities in order not to get overwhelmed by them. This page is about how I go about this and how this approach might be useful in dealing with the Monroe Bands.
TASTING INTERESTING ELEMENTS
The main impetus for this page is a correspondence I have with Larry (see Martian Test and Ten Thousand Babbling Idiots) who writes from a perspective that is not based in the SSoA-paradigm. Of course this should be no trouble, especially since I am opening up to various perspectives to see what resonates and what offers new vistas that can be useful in my own process.
I have begun to notice that in every email that I received from Larry there are a whole lot of concepts and ideas that I find interesting. I would like to take up every single element and let it be tasted by my system and see what rolls out of it. In other words: I would like to spend time on these concepts to let them be felt by my various bodies, ancestors, soul-aspects in order to develop a perspective that either fits my current paradigm, or that calls for a change of certain aspects of the paradigm.
I truly love this process. It's like the tasting of wine in your mouth, only it takes a bit longer, dependent on the concept and the external conditions of my life at the time.
THINKING IN ARTICLES: ONE SUBJECT AT A TIME
During the years I have learned that I function best when I process only one subject at a time. I invest all my energy and attention in it and I listen to all that it arouses and I try to store all the details that come along. Then I try to think of a title that catches the main thrust of the development and I use that title to focus even more on the subject.
Since I am not a hermit living somewhere outside of this world there are quite a lot of other practical things going on while this process goes ahead in my field. I have come to understand that it works best for me if I completely finish one topic by writing it out and publishing it on this site, before I take up the next subject. If I don't, many subjects remain fragmented and that gives me a rather unsatisfactory feeling.
SETTING PRIORITIES
Then there are certain sources that produce subjects that I give more priority than others. The subjects that are born from myself through dream activity or through personal interaction with people around me often provide the most important subjects (like Turtle 32: Dealing with Very Sick People).
Then there are people with whom I correspond through email. When they talk about a certain topic that I am working on the moment I give it more priority than people who introduce certain topics that require more attention and energy.
When a person writes to me I prefer to answer in a new article as a sign that I have truly worked out the subject, at least as far as I can at that moment and I can refer to it and it can arouse the responses of other people who might add other interesting elements to the whole.
PRACTICAL CONSEQUENCES
The practical consequences of this approach are that it can sometimes really take a long time before I respond to an email of someone, and when I respond I might just respond to one or two elements in a letter that caught my attention, completely ignoring the rest. This can be quite a frustrating way of communicating, especially when you prefer to think and respond fast, building thoughts upon thoughts in a speedy fashion.
Sometimes I even write: "I don't have time to respond to your emails now, but keep on writing your thoughts, I will get to them when I have the time.". This ofcourse can be regarded as rather rude: someone shares a lot of information and they get this as a response. All I can say is: Sorry, but this is the way I work now. I'm not here to have long email correspondences with people touching upon thousands of topics. My aim is to get out those topics that I find useful at a certain moment and really dissect it in a page and only then move on to another topic that is of importance at that next moment.
In a way it resembles some of the rather 'rude' behavior that you can read about in the page on 'To Give Someone the Ascending Boot'. It might also be regarded as a very intellectual approach. Read Ten Thousand Babbling Idiots for more on that.
MONROE BANDS
The Monroe Bands are described as bands of resonating thought form that one would enter as soon as one dies. I have grown to believe that this is another important reason to be very sensitive to the kind of thoughts you allow yourself to think. For it would be the thoughts that define the reality you believe in now, and far litterally after you die. Thoughts seem to be the key to unlock realities. If you could master the game of tuning thoughts you would have made a skeleton key that might be used to observe many realities, not only in the physical realm, but also in the various afterlife realities.
That's another reason why I prefer to relatively spend a lot of time before I allow a certain thought form from someone else to enter my field, or when I notice the limiting effects of many of my own thought forms.
