The physical universe however is virtualized down to the tiniest detail in the projection, including quarks and even finer matter. Thus just as you have a dream body made of matter, it is possible in this theory for other less developed souls to have an atom, electron or a heart or lung as a body. I see no contradiction. Each is dreaming its own body which fits into the dream bodies of every other part of the universe. In fact the entire universe is itself the body of the highest level spirit still in this universe. Just remember that each being has his own projection of the entire system, they just happen to be in synch for all souls in the same dream time. The synch happens through an internal connection between souls that allow them to co dream similar dreams together, not through an external common universe impinging equally on all. Its like playing star trek on a computer system with others at other terminals. Each has his own virtualize view of the universe, but it is all synched by the common micro processor (internal) not actual 3d space ships in the outside (external). Each galaxy is also a body for some spirit, and each sun and planet. Some say that the entire solar system is the body of the God of this sun system, and that the planets are actually connected to the sun via solid matter in the 4th spatial dimension. Just as our fingers are connected to our hands in 3 dimensions but would look like separate circles if a 2 dimensional slice were taken. As for my sources, I never ever reveal sources. Ideas should be judged on their own merits and not by the people who say them. However you will find the ideas I am talking about to be a common thread through most writings from modern day and past track religions that have an eastern bent. One reason I do not reveal sources is because often the material as written by the originator has been modified and corrupted by followers to a point where the entire subject is held in disrepute. Revealing sources leaves me open to 'ad hominem' attacks against the validity of the data by virtue of the alleged discredit of the source. It is fashionable to hold religions and cults and belief systems up to ridicule by super sophisticated snot nosed mortalityism and meat ball 'I had nothing to do with being born' mentality. I have better things to do than fill my reader with such trash. However two books I will mention that go very deeply into this subject is one called 'Starmaker' by Olaf Stapleton and 'Journey through to Space' by I don't remember. The first is a fictionalized account of a being (the author) who gets out of his body by accident one night and takes a wander through the universe. I have big disagreements with his account as he claims there is a hell forever for some very few, and the second is a personal diary of someone who exteriorized not only from his body but from this entire universe. Please remember that not all of what I say comes from direct experiences of my own, I am just a dumb shit like everyone else. I speak with authority only because I am author. Pontification is just that. I do however suspect that what I say is true, I would give it probabilities around 95 percent. The exact details of course are very open to question, but the basic premise that the world is a dream and beings are immortal and 100 percent self responsibile is a very sound framework from which to view the world and see if it works. Its one flaw is that it is so DESIRABLE a theory, except of course for grave diggers, those who want to die. Thus one must be careful to not just up and believe every airy fairy thing that comes along that seems nice. This is a rough world, and if we are immortal and there is a 'heaven' of eternal freedom, we must remember that that very freedom is the freedom to trash it all for a while. A very long while. Thus if there is a God, and we are such a thing ourselves, this is also a God that is willing to play being a creature. That is certainly a new twist. Most religions would tell you that God, the Creator, made us, the Creatures, and that we were put in a position of being tested that God Himself never went through and would never put Himself in. This is just another dumb religion created by Gods (us) to fool ourselves into slavery. So it goes... Homer W. Smith Adore-l list 3/23/89*Contradictions...
