One of the ideas that I find central is the relationship of the
ideas to MASS. nothing happens unless MASS is transformed. so if in
discussing the ideas you do not live by them, well then they are
just ideas.
after a brief survey, and an exhausting period of study, I
concentrated my focus on the avant garde of new age metaphysics.
four main authors chosen out of sheer practicality.
The urantia book
a course in miracles
the fourth way
time space and knowledge by tarthang tulku.
these are the standard bearers of my train of thought.
the main metaphysical bent comes conversations with God. which is an
excellent treatise on the technology of reality, highly recommended.
The aim is to produce a workable program for the transformation of
mind. Most of the programs are transformational, however the aim is
to build the omnimind which allows one to be the observer, the
observed and the object of observation, the threefold being. from
any standpoint or paradigm.....
