Woody:

Hi. Woody Stanford here. What's happening?

Read your entire "Book 1" because I couldn't put it down. I know it to be true. I was actually surprised that there are a few things I don't know yet and (wink, wink) I know a few things.

Welcome to the list. Glad you liked the book.

Woody:

But something really disturbing happened to me. Why is it that the book is true, and yet all the other stuff is sooooooooooo much crap? I don't mean from a literary point of view, but from a true/false point of view? Is this some kind of smoke screen to keep the lid on the literality of "The Immortal".

Please tell me (even if by private email) what the deal is on scripture mixed with New Age CRAP! Its very disturbing to me, like seeing the Bible and porno mags being sold next to each other in a book store.

Just like there are true and untrue Christian writings there are true and untrue new age and metaphysical teachings.

We go by the maxim here that the highest religion is truth and wherever the truth is that is where we go. There are many new age and metaphysical teachings in the scriptures so if we threw out all metaphysics we would have to throw out even the standard holy writ.

Here on this list all are welcome to question any teaching presented. If you read any of my writings and find something that does not sound right you are welcome to bring it up.

Right now we are going through the Book of Revelation and I understand you have written about it. I'm sure you'll find the interpretation presented here different than you have come across before.

It is not presented as the only true meaning however for all inspired scripture and teachings has inner and outer meanings that fit with the Law of Correspondences.

Nirvana writes:

I have a question about emotions in relationships and how they fit into this.

For example if one likes another very much and feels great emotion for them, but the other doesn't feel exactly the same way. Does that mean the other person has got it wrong? That what they are feeling is not real, or lower, because the other one is not feeling it?

True romantic love where there is energy flow from the soul must involve equal interplay and sharing between two people. The person who feels romantic attraction that is not returned is allowing his romantic energy to escape into the ethers with little or no return. Without that return there is no fullness and much emotional dissipation. This one way dissipation occurs because of some self deception on the part of the giver.

To save himself a lot of grief the one-sided giver must face reality and realize he is pouring his romantic energy down a bottomless pit and take his power back. Be patient and wait until a potential lover responds and then let the interplay develop naturally.

Sharing spiritual love is another matter however. One should aspire to give love and kindness to all whether he receives back in kind or not. True spiritual love sees the soul in all people, and because of that soul, love is never wasted but will circulate and return to the sender with interest. Soul recognizes soul and keeps the energy of love in circulation.

Nirvana:

What is your position on 'soul connections'. If you think you have a soul connection with someone but they think you don't. Is this coming from your lower emotional self?

A soul connection and romantic connection are often two different things. One may correctly recognize a connection through the soul or a link from a past life while another does not.

Nirvana:

How can you tell if you have a soul connection with anyone and what is the purpose of having those connections if it is only one sided and the other person doesn't even recognize it. For that matter what is the purpose of any soul connection. Even if you may be sure what you feel is not something you are making up but a real connection. sometimes the other person does not recognize it.

If a person dies hating or loving another that strong emotion will create a magnetic force that will bring them into their presence again. This reunion may be one sided if the other person did not hold on to the strong energy but released it or forgave the other before death.

Then there are cases where two people are supposed to be together. In this case there will be powerful soul feelings manifest in both people in most cases.

Nirvana:

I know on the physical level it can simply be thought of as rejection. But what I am asking goes deeper, because I am trying to figure out the higher emotional truth behind those kind of connections and their purpose.

What is the cause of such imbalances. I'm asking this because it has happened to me before and is confusing. If you get married to someone and they love you and you love them. That is great. It seems to work (*shrugs). But it isn't always that neat. And it can cause a lot of grief, confusion, and can be very painful when they don't like you.

Most of us have been through these imbalances and it is tough. The key is to play the role of the observer and learn to let go when appropriate. Overcome the fear of loss by mingling with other people and developing new interests and sooner or later the balance will come.
