Transcendentalism and Gnosticism.
It started with meditation and reflection, but required hours, days, even years to bring to fruition.
Session after session of writing, re-reading, re-thinking, and re-writing.
I have never met a raver who had anything interesting to say about music, despite it's obvious influence on their lifestyle.
If One 'thinks' "IT"
is about words;
One misses
the ENTIRE
REALiTY
of human
transcendence.
And there is balance to
all stuff in life required for
healthy well being mind
and body balancing
life; i am always
in control;
i am the wave
and rave the
rave and
wave
does not
control me;
for one..
But yes; that
takes decades of
tireless continually
inspiring
practice, practice
practice; all innately
instinctually and Intuitively
ALIVE as HUMAN WELL BEING..
BUT YES, I can relate as I too
once am stuck in thoughts
of head; truly the illusion
is thoughts; and the
reality is human
emotions and
senses.
The lesson
all animals intuitively
understand without
ever a human lesson.
Humans are the outliers,
overall, in a world of Hell.
But as science shows in the
world of Asperger's syndrome;
approximately 50% of folks
with this syndrome have
symptoms of non-verbal
Learning disorder; and what
this entails is certainly a
disability in the ways
of movement in
spirit of human
heart expressing
one's soul.
Additionally,
some folks with
Non-Verbal
learning
disorder
have lesions
on the right hemisphere
of the brain; making visual
imagery of the world and
non-verbal language,
including even recognizing
faces of loved ones;
almost impossible;
Life is not fair;
at least not in
one life; and
there may be
no answer for that;
along with little children
that science now shows;
IF they are NOT properly
nurtured in the first two years
of life will never ever have the capacity
to FEEL THE FULL HUMAN CONNECTION
IN WAYS OF AFFECTIVE EMPATHY AND
ASSOCIATED EMOTIONAL CONTAGION
FROM mirror neuron ways to
OXYTOCIN BONDING CONNECTIONS
FROM GUT TO BOTTOM
OF FEET WHERE THE
RECEPTORS FOR THAT
are located.
The MIND AND
BODY balance simply
never gets wired for IT;
and the result of that can
range from addictions to
fill the void of a soul that
is never felt; to crime;
to mental illness;
to a full range
of human misery;
AND SUFFERING.
YES, THE
'REFRIGERATOR
PARENTS' THINGY
IS A REAL DEAL;
now as assessed
by SCIENCE; no
matter how politically
incorrect it is to make
that scientific FACT
KNOWN NOW.
I was loved dearly
as a child by a totally
unconditionally loving
mother; gaining full trust
in the world; I have never
needed addictions like
alcohol, cigarettes, video
games or
other drugs
to escape
an empty heart, soul,
and lack of expressing
human spirit as such;
but yes, chronic stress
and catastrophic illness
takes that away for five long
years; dance brings it back
and of course the number
one requirement assessed
by science for happiness;
flesh and blood connection;
but that is meaningless for
those who can only think
it and never
FEEL IT.
And to be crystal
clear that IS
NOT personally
directed at 'you'
as individual
as words
on the
Interent
never tell
a full tale
of human being..

Which were largely defined as a philosoply by immanuel kant, who heavily influenced the transcendentalists.
Kant was too involved with silly systems and perhaps a bit solipsistic. He thought everything was because of God so his reasoning became circular when really it was his mind that was about God so he projected it onto his reasoning skills.

Then apparently you have never really gained skill of dance in mind and body balance;
for greatest all natural way of human transcendence to REAL 'Human Heaven'.
It is infinitely complex my friend; along with martial arts;
A person can live an infinite number of lifetimes
and never exhaust this FULLER human potential;
the human body is capable
of an infinite number
of both moves;
emotions;
and senses;
expressed
in nuanced style;
no lessons required;
only moving heArt
and soUL expressed
as moving spiRit in
REAL FLESH AND BLOOD
LIFE; abstract written
human language
is sign language for the
REAL deal; comprising
anywhere from 60 to
93 percent as non-
verbal language;
and free style dance
is used in human communication;
tens of thousands of years before
humans become trapped in a
a head of written word
sign language;
limiting the much
fullER greater potential
of human experience;
in both emotions and senses;
and whenever one hears esoteric
sounding folks talk about what
humans have forgotten in life;
IT is precisely
this;
REAL HUMAN LIFE;
MORE FULLY
EXPRESSED IN
NON-VERBAL
LANGUAGE; THE
GREATEST LANGUAGE OF ALL;
but I can talk comfortably about
it; as once I am a restricted robot-
like Zombie 'moving' human being
that has to watch
his wife walk
and copy IT;
to even go
in department stores
in social anxious skin;
IF, I can lead the frigging
dance in a top 100 dance
club in the U.S.; imagine
what someone who
really knows and
practices how
to free style
move from
BIRTH
in emotions
and senses can do too;
and yes, there are circuses
for folks like that too; but
I for one; do it for the FREE
transcendent experience
of REAL fullER mind
and body balance;
and not a life
trapped in
a little
skull
of head..
And my head
for one; is
extra large;
but still nothing
like a Jonathan
Livingston Seagull;
at 230LBS in
flight
of feather
mastering
air like
a
KITE
ON TERRESTRIAL
LAND; IT takes
me decades to
understand that
one day I will
be 'that' seagull
too; and flight
IS possible on
land; and much
cooler than
walking on
frigging water;
as this is real
magicK, baby;
and
no
myth of
human being..
And believe me; five years ago;
this would mean nothing to me either;
as it is a whole Universe of me;
left unexplored
then.
So I totally understand if you
remain clueless about
anything I
am describing
here..
But never the less, friend;
IT IS REAL;
and I do have
the real life
documentation
and evidence
to prove it;
in many different
mediums of modern
technology PROOF..
The Art of TAI CHI
and KUNG FU only
approximates
what
i for one
do; as I
create it
as i and
GOD all
natural
innately instinctually
and intuitively allows
all the time
NOW..
I ONLY come here with
sign language to attempt
to describe it; but it takes
real life viewing to
get A
FULLER GIST;
AS WELL AS
PERSONAL
PARTICIPATION.

Ana,
I was going through one of my rent AMORC monographs and they hit on something that I thought was an illustrative poem on contemplation by Jan Van Ruysbroeck. It really caught my attention in just how well he explained the situation and how-to of mystic awakening. Unfortunately it wasn't something I could find online, I just found it referenced that it was an excerpt from Jan's Book of the Twelve Beguines which does look like a great read.
If you want something that leans slightly dualist or at least plays on the boarder between dualism and monism you may want to check out some of the old Christian mystics as a lot of them seem to apply a heavy dose of Platonist logic but still uphold certain angles of sin and grace. Jan looks like a great read, also Carl Von Eckartshausen's Cloud Upon the Sanctuary and a lot of the stuff by by both Dionysus the Areopagite and Pseudodionysus gets plenty of acclaim. Miguel Molinos also wrote a mystic prayer manual ('the Spiritual Guide') during the times of the Spanish inquisition but it goes somewhat without saying that most authors chopped it to pieces to take the so-called heretical content out. Jacob Boehme of course is famous for his writings and I hear Emanuel Swedenborg's name dropped constantly also (which is another author I'm meaning to read more of).
Also, something you really might want to check into - Martinism. It's a Christian mystic/magical order that's heavily linked to Christian chivalry and the like. Most known author of the 'Unknown Philosophers' was second man seen to be in it's line of of creation (the second 'Martin' of Martinism) Louise-Claude de Saint Martin. A really good modern Martinist book, of enough renown to have been owned and studied by the last to Catholic Popes, is Meditations on the Tarot - A Journey into Christian Hermeticism (by Unknown Author, who is actually Valentin Tomberg writing something intended as a post-mortem passing on of what he learned in his life, translated by Robert Powell).
I suppose I can't help bringing up classical Christian mysticism as well as Martinism on the topic because when you start getting into Emerson, Thoreau, Blake, etc.. you're getting into something very same-ish. It's a place where what one might think of as dominantly Eastern features of things like Hinduism and Buddhism find their way into Christianity and Judaism by way of Plato, Pythagoras, etc.. and technically speaking when you walk backward some of the chafing that the bible has gotten over the years from the religious establishment trying to jam a square peg into a round hole the amount of sense the results make over dead letter wagon-circling is a night and day.
Don't know how much you're reading or not reading these days but definitely if you ever have the chance try on MOTT. Aside from Manly P Hall's Secret Teachings I'd have to say MOTT is the other book that IMHO is right up there in terms of eye-opening power.

I'll keep this post in mind for Transcendental Tuesdays. I appreciate all the suggestions, Techstep.

What's Transcendental Tuesdays?
I got the idea from the Tuesdays trend, as in "throw back" or "transformation" Tuesdays but I wanted my own thing, something that reflects what I am interested in, so I chose transcendental. Sometimes people go with Thursdays but I focus on Tuesday because I was born on a Tuesday so I am biased to pick it over Thursday.
It's just a day to study and meditate on transcendence.
