you know, i hope i don't offend anyone here, but i think i have a
good question. one that is directed at everyone. i've read many
postings here regarding who gets to ascend, why they are of ascending
quality, if they get to take their dog....etc. so i was curious...how
many people (who are reading this) are attempting in some way to
curtail death through the application of ascension-based teachings? i
ask this not to offend, but to understand. it is my opinion that fear
is our greatest motivator (social generalization). fear of death gets
everyone to church on sundays. fear of life provides us with police,
security, and safety nets. fear of fear gives us psychologists and
therapists. in fact most of our stress and discomfort occurs by way
of fear. so how is fear a factor in this group? how many people are
afraid that the world is going to end, and you will be 2 miles from
your meditation mat and 15 minutes from plunging into your
trancendental conciousness?
i'm not worried. although i feel that people approach this
information in a manner too similar to religion. it seems that people
tend to demand method and dogma, and apply it wherever they can. it
makes sense, everyone wants to be right.
in my opinion, there is only one opinion that matters. your own. it
should be of your own design, built from your own experience and
knowledge. it should be unique and unfixed. the only spiritual leader
you need is the voice of your own soul. sometimes it is good to take
advice from people who's souls are yelling. however take everything
with a grain of salt.

i would like to quote from master kim: like water is the best thing
to be, you are always changing and always the same.

and here's a good one from my mom: happiness is an inside job.

and my personal motto: **** fear.

p.s> i sincerely hope that none of this information (asc2k) gets
dogmatized by anyone. it is good information, it kindles fire in the
mind and opens up possibilities. regardless, we are like fish in a
bowl, trying to understand the universe with walleye vision. nobody
knows the big picture. anyone who claims to is as deluded as their
claims. the more you find out, the less you know.
