Surprising find: Smart people tend to be loners

Surprising find: Smart people tend to be loners -- Science of the Spirit:

Comment by Jean Michel (I can relate except that we need other people, cannot be islands all the time):

Over the last two years, I have been completely alienating myself from my friends and family. This is unusual for me as I have always been fairly social. It was becoming a concern for me as to why this was happening.

After some serious soul searching, I started to come to the conclusion that I don't want to be around people in general because they all seem to be asleep.

They focus all of their energy on things like making money, dating and who's going to be the next president.

I tried to get them to focus on things that really matter, such as the state of their own souls, and for the most part this has fallen on deaf ears. They don't want to accept the truth that history provides for us and they would rather blithely succumb to the inevitable end that ignorance will provide them.

This article helped me to understand that there is a very simple reason that I don't want to associate with regular people anymore. They are stupid.

They may have adequate intelligence to learn the truth of things, yet they would rather live in ignorance than face reality.

I've become totally fed up with that attitude and I guess that I finally hit the boiling point of where I just can't stand it anymore.

I have decided that I will leave myself available to anyone who has the desire to expand their knowledge about these things, but for the most part I will be keeping to myself.

The special intelligence of plants

The special intelligence of plants 

Michal Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, and The Botany of Desire, has pointed out that for the longest time, even mentioning that plants could be intelligent was a quick way to being labeled a 'whacko,' but it turns out plants can learn, communicate, and even feel. They can also see, smell, and remember. This is definitely not news the biotechnology industry wants highlighted.

Our Lens of Perception determines the Nature and Quality of our Experience

The nature and quality of our life experiences are directly related to our levels of seeing. Everything is here and has always been here. We are only limited by what we are willing and able to see through our lens of perception.

There has always been so much more than what we have seen. If we expand our current level of seeing a million times we would only see a speck of what there is to see. Our potentials and capabilities offer our best window into the infinite nature of the universe. This divine pattern flows around and through us. Every particle of existence is alive with codes and information. These codes have always been available to those who were ready to awaken inside the dream of their earth life. This awakening enables new levels of inner seeing.

Factors that Determine our Level of Seeing

Shake-Ups Awaken us to Karmic Patterns

A shake-up is an opportunity to further awaken to karmic patterns that may be holding you in place. Shake-ups happen when you are ready to heal and release karmic patterns. These patterns are spun from the threads of past life traumas as well as misunderstandings from the current lifetime. These shake-ups impact each person according to their current location on the map of their becoming. A shake-up assists you by creating a bubble of chaos that distances you from the pattern. Chaos triggers a desire to divine order that motivates you toward a new insight or skill that helps you burn through a habit or pattern that is binding you to a past you have outgrown.

Expanding your Field of Vision

to construct an Ark

Religious myths might be the narratives of an ancient technology and knowledge of the cosmos that far surpasses our present day understanding, as well as a warning to us about some perilous state in which we are living, and some future event toward which we are heading. The myths, rituals and ceremonies of the ancient religions are but surviving fragments of this technology from which the true significance has vanished.

Prophecies and predictions of Edgar Cayce Cayce foresaw world events that can only be described as apocalyptic, a period of purification involving natural disasters that will dramatically alter the surface of the Earth, wars, economic collapse, and socio-political unrest. Cayce said that these future events could be averted if humanity changed its behavior...

cognitive dissonance

Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong. When they are presented with evidence that works against that belief, the new evidence cannot be accepted. It would create a feeling that is extremely uncomfortable, called cognitive dissonance. And because it is so important to protect the core belief, they will rationalize, ignore and even deny anything that doesn't fit in with the core belief.
