I just watched the video series by Gregg Braden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nKSq2tV1kE.
Having just studied a course in nutrition (not your average course), I am aware of how much research is twisted and misquoted, so even though I agreed with the ideas behind the Science in this video, I instinctively spent some time checking up to see whether the Science was genuine. I am pleased to say I found the first study here http://www.rialian.com/rnboyd/dna-phantom.htm
with diagrams here
and here http://www.rialian.com/rnboyd/dnafig2.gif.
Also, Vladimir Poponin had a pulse and a phone number, which helps give credibility in my books. As much as the phantom DNA effect is mistifying, I also find it completely logical. but I have a Science background, and I really do like to see the science!
On other matters... well over 30 years ago I had an experience which broke through to a higher level. It was similar to what I understood about the bible, but also crazily distorted in relation to what is printed in the bible, the general theme of love was there, but the detail was incredibly distorted. So I set about translating it myself - from Greek at the time - the Dead Sea Scrolls were not available. It started to make greater sense. Eventually I concluded that I had no need to know the original texts, because they were already in my mind, more accurate than any story or translation can relate. The problem, was, of course, accessing that information.
It is interesting to now see from this video series that the scrolls were translated in such a way that vital detail was ommited. Again this makes sense to me. If I had tried to say what I experienced in words back then, I would probably have been locked up. There weren't really any words to describe it.
I am also pleased that the forum is a doing rather than believing forum. What I mean is that so much Christian belief centres around being saved and all that, whereas this seems to be focussing on the message I got, namely "do something!", rather than "sit back and relax, you've been saved". In fact, the feeling was of looking into infinity, and realising that the aspirations of goodness I felt in that infinity were the same as my own, but there were also tasks to be done. I intend to go back there sometime, somehow.
Yes I am rambling a bit, because I have a lot to take in here and what I do take in may change my outlook. Oh and lastly I had assumed the collective conciousness was light itself, because this would explain the sense of infinity, but I see there is a lot of technical stuff here I need to take on board. I guess that's enough for now
