My meditation on TuesdayI was meditating (a rare event these days) and I found myself in space. There was nothing in that space. Suddenly A woman's face appeared. It was formed by, If you can imagine, pushing a face into a huge thin rubber sheet so that the shape of the face showed through and I was seeing the shape and accepting it as a face. When I looked behind at what was forming the face there was nothing there. I was given the impression that all that we see and accept as real is in fact just a shape or design formed in the fabric of space for a short while and had no real existence save for the short time that it appeared for. Beyond that was the unknowable the former of faces and all that is..

Would be interesting to know how the face viewed you, for the short time it was in existence

How do we know that the face could view anything.
I think that what I was seeing was symbolic.
When you reach the current limits of your understanding it is amazing to me that to stop thinking and start listening and feeling moves you on.
It seems that either we already know the answers and just need to be still to access them or we are part of something much bigger and in silence we can converse with it.
I just thought of another scenario. We all learn the same things but it depends on our belief systems how we learn them.

I like option one and three....option two seems to be dependant on silence. Seems to me that just as often, paying attention works

Yes all of the signposts we need are around us every day.
Trouble is you have to eliminate the backgound noise to see and understand it.
If you can do that then great. Many cannot so they meditate. Many don't do anything at all.

Funny thing is, if you listen to what people say, they often know the answers anyway, but they don't listen to themselves

half of a healing process is giving them permission to get better. They know the solutions but need confirmation from a third party.

Or...
half of a healing process is allowing them to tell a thrid party what it is that they need to do to get better, and so they give themselves permission to heal.

So in the telling they are bringing it into the material world.

Not being sexist but women seem far happier talking about themselves and their problems.
Have they perhaps learned that this is a form of healing or in my house is it so that I cannot concentrate on anything that I am trying to do.

Men do talk to women.....maybe not just to each other?
And perhaps if it stops you concentrating, its because her happiness is more important to you than whatever you were trying to do? Maybe.

women as young girls were allowed to express emotions openly while generally males were /are taught to be strong and not show emotions. they either have to watch their anger or show more aggression.. nothing seems to be taught about getting in touch with the rest of the emotional spectrum

So start a thread and teach us. I could definitely do with it.
