Lack of caffeine probably left me unable to convey that I was expressing thanks for explaining things I didn't get before.<BR/><BR/>So...

Eastern systems tend to doi a damn good job of it, but its true that even then, there is still a bit of "you'll know it when you find it" and "you need to be shown this directly" type stuff. That goes for Kung Fu, Qi Gung, Tsa Lung, Rajyayoga, Kundalini Yoga etc. <BR/><BR/>But there is an element of the Khabbalah and Angel model that isnt quite explainable either. The first thing I tell people when i give a talk on the tree of life is to remember that the menu is not the meal, and that the universe doesnt literrall look like the tree of life. Its a two dimensional representation of a multidimentional existance. It can only do so much. <BR/><BR/>I think the same is true of angels. While you know I have no tolerance for the "they exist in the mind" model, its also not as clear as them existing as independant beings. If anything I like to say that we partially exist in their minds.<BR/><BR/>Like I said in an earlier post, my view if shaped at a basic lavel by the Tibetan systems, which incorporate the spirit, energy, and physical modes of magick pretty seamlessly. <BR/><BR/>To me, all three are equally important.Jason Miller,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03034226672257024583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659330560006301380.post-18510242534955490342008-08-05T07:41:00.000-07:002008-08-05T07:41:00.000-07:00One of the reasons I shun most of the "energy" mod...One of the reasons I shun most of the "energy" model is that it can't be written about. I've always believed (as a writer) that you do not know a thing until you can put it into words. So much of the energy model's methods and techniques are only explainable as "you know what I mean?"<BR/><BR/>And personally, I never really developed an interest in how things get done, and I certainly don't have the skills or fine artistic craft to directly play with the energy being raised or implemented. I'd much rather leave it in the very skilled hands of my spiritual co-workers who aren't currently burdened down with the cumbersome "body" that I am.Rufus Opushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10806987441760167537noreply@blogger.com
