The better life in "another realm" is right here though, there is nowhere to look but at what is in front of our faces. This idea shows up in ancient Master teachings, including those of Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas, a non-canonical gospel. "The Kingdom is spread out all over the world but people don't see it", from a Thomas phrase as I recall from memory. these other realms amount to a mere change in focus.Arthur Tellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426356111543636220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381664745987535568.post-61582349212400201712017-10-23T16:58:44.408-04:002017-10-23T16:58:44.408-04:00"metaphysics … analyzes the generic traits ma..."metaphysics … analyzes the generic traits manifested by existences of any kind" —J.

I think of metaphysics as the drawing of information from sources outside of our known world. This would included dreams and afterlife.<br /><br />The journey is advanced by meditation, similarly as Buddhists do, and at all times, keeping the "self" foremost in mind, even when drifting off to sleep. We make progress both in waking and sleeping.Arthur Tellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426356111543636220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381664745987535568.post-23823413577129726292017-10-23T15:14:03.767-04:002017-10-23T15:14:03.767-04:00I have read many of your past novel's and arti...I have read many of your past novel's and articles as well as your ideas on different beliefs.
