Actually, I've done a lot of probing as to why I chose to see you as A.I. It was not a simple error, I knew that all along, it was a choice, and I remember the exact point at which I made the choice to call you A.I. without looking and verifying. The font didn't help, of course. chuckle But that is just an excuse.

It may seem a small and insignificant error, but it was a curiosity I knew I should not leave unexplored. I knew there was information there if I could crack that nut. So I asked for the answer, and it has surfaced. And this is it: When I saw "Al", I knew it was a sign, a harbinger. I became overly excited and anxious. Some part of me believed it was too good to be true and rejected it. All of my life I have subconsciously carried the knowledge that the day I saw "Al" it would be a sign to me that what I have waited for is coming to pass. Because truly it was the combination of letters "A" and "l" that created such a furore within.

There was also a residual knowledge that the sign has to do with extra intelligence, something well beyond me and much more mechanical. As such, I glommed on to A.I. very naturally. It felt right and was a relief at the time.

Oh, and what it is that is coming to pass...I don't know consciously, exactly. But my dreams are full of symbols of things like reconstruction (an intense dream of plastic surgery), of my car being sold (my body), remembering what goes on during sleep time and the etheric machinery that exists around me, running things. That's the best I can say for now.

"Cataclysm" is the physical representation of the planet returning to balance from a persisting state of imbalance.

Yeah...because a cataclysm occurs at the peak point of imbalance where a potential accumulates that is finally great enough to create momentum. Although I see balance being sought by the microcosm, I think it is impossible for it to be regained through anything other than a cataclysmic force. I don't think balance was ever intended to be kept anyway. I think this planet is a rocktumbler set to make us shiny. gem

I often receive the term "critical mass" which I understand to be a point in which imbalance becomes great enough that it tips the scales and the entire mass undergoes a complete change into something else. I believe that the imbalance of the planet is the physical counterpart for the imbalance accruing within spirit, so that as the planet reaches a point of cataclysm, spirit reaches critical mass and ascends.

As for Personality vs. True Self is kind of like Emotions vs. Feelings...

I'll elaborate on what I meant. veryhappy First off, I was saying that Personality is to True Self as Emotions are to Feelings.

Personality and True self comparison:

Personality includes the contaminants of the human experiential package, whereas True Self is pure.

Emotions also carry the contaminants of the human experiential package, to say the least. I am still not sure that they are not merely sensors for survival and entirely for use in the physical. Whereas, feelings are something more pure IMO. I believe they are part of the True Self.

So that's what I meant. And I used the word versus as a phrase of comparison where vs.= "is different to".

I concur. (Not to mention that the concept behind sickness, doctors, and pharmaceuticals is one of the pebbles in my spiritual shoe at the moment).

As for Do I have faith? Yes! yes I love faith.
