| [March 25 2009] Dear Rin, Yes I think we do. It is not something that is knowable or can be proven in a natural scientific sense, in other words with our intellect alone, but is a fundamental subject of spiritual science. Spiritual science has always existed. I am only a not very good student of this but there have always been people known as Initiates who confirm this knowledge. It is the basis of their teaching. It is the subject matter of the Bhagavad Gita for example. I think it will not surprise you if I say that Rudolf Steiner is an Initiate. There is a book by him called Knowledge Of Higher Worlds And Its Attainment. It could be called a ladder leading to this essence of our being and the knowledge of realms which can not be perceived by our bodily senses. We have other faculties of perception which are latent within us but can be awakened and developed. I think that homeopathy is a manifestation of spiritual science and when you are studying it you are developing those other organs of perception. There is so much about you, your intuition of things for example that makes me think that you are someone who came into this world with already a disposition toward spiritual science. But the name should not be a stumbling block, it is the experiences we have and the meanings we derive from them that is important. Thank you for asking. Love and Peace, George |
| [March 25 2009] Dear George, I am so glad to know you are feeling relieved. We need it once in a while to go on. Yesterday, I had a conversation with my friend about 'Does the essence of each people change?'. Some of our habits or reactions, interests seem possibly to be changed. But how about the basis? Do we anyway have such 'basis' or 'root'? What do you think? Love&Peace Rin |
| [March 24 2009] Hi! It is such a relief when the examination is done. But then you feel good to that you have been through it and learned something. I have hopes for your painting too. Your paintings are such a gift to the world. I feel that all experience becomes part of the painting. The painting is made up of life experience. So in a way we are always painting even when it seems we are doing something totally different. Me? I am happy it is Spring. Now is a big relief for me. I feel like I have been through a life examination. I have just learned that I can stay here after all. That the work that I do is thought sufficient as exchange for rent and that they would not be renting the room to anyone but me anyway. So I will give some money for food but otherwise continue living as I have been. Spring Is A New Beginning, George |
| {March 24 2009] Hi George, Thank you for asking me. I struggled more than I wanted. But I am just happy it's done anyway!(^-^) I spent all day cleaning(cleaned everything!) today... which I always do after I finish something. Tomorrow is another start. I am going to make a plan for the next step tomorrow. I feel it's like looking at the new canvas...but it won't be as fun. I really do miss painting badly. How are you doing? Well, it's 2:30am now. Probably, you are wondering in your dream. I guess I better go to bed too. Love&Peace, Rin |
| [March 23 2009] Did all go well with your exams? From George |
[March 26, 2009] I think the best picture I have heard is that each individual is like a little sponge and each sponge absorbs a drop of the great ocean. The water drop is always the same essence as the ocean but the sponge goes through changes and development. But the little sponge forgets where the water came from. At some point it remembers and then it wants to return to its Source. Not so easy little sponge. But it is possible. From George |
| [March 26,2009] Dear George, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You are talking about the essence of the whole living,right? I realized that my question('the essence of individual') was not clearly described...maybe my use of 'essence' was not the right choice... I don't know... Let me try again. When we came to the world with the body(human,animal,plant whatever), we seem to have already certain kind of personality or tendency. Some are extroverted,some are introverted, some are defensive, some are relaxed, sensitive, active, ...so on. Also, each of us have certain tendency to pick up particular activities later on.Some start playing music,some are naturally good with organizing, some clings to be famous...so on. Also, some plants are very tough with heat or dryness, and some are opposite. We all are different, have different energy. Every livings seem already have own system or basic character for surviving as we born. And through the life, we develop(complicate) character or system based on our "essence". Describing this 'essence' is so difficult with words,but I think it's there. I don't know why or how each of us has so called individuality, but we do. One might feel he has changed after certain events of life. But I wonder if this feeling of changed could be just another layer of his essence? Or he really has changed? I am trying to avoid to make comments about DNA,which I haven't fully understood the whole picture of. Anyway, my question was, 'Does the essence of individual change?' If the sponge lost the essence of sponge,isn't it sponge anymore? just wondering, Rin |
