I debated answering this one here because it is really a bit advanced. But you asked and that always gives me more leeway.

My own views differ from yours in many ways, however. In a way, it is like looking at a cousin on a different evolutionary path - common ancestors sundered through adaptation to our own environments. What I don't see in your writings is the acknowledgment of External Forces beyond our control.

This is the great illusion Podrock. There are no such forces.

We are energy. We are made up of the same stuff the infinite universe is made of. We are infinite. Anything that comes to us is an energy equation.

Yes, your life, my life all the event that happen in this world, galaxy or universe are energy equations. Each action is an energy exchange. We are here because the energy that comprises what we are fits in here - it is drawn to Earth or any similar such world through compatibility of energy. As souls we have a fundamental frequency and this will determine where we find ourselves and acts as a marker of our development and progress.

So when you talk about "external forces" beyond our control you assume that there are such things. You believe in them. The wave that crashes on the beach 3000 miles away seems entirely independent of you - but it is NOT so. The air you breath, your physical weight and other complex intangibles have an infinitely small influence on that wave and every other wave on every other planet in existence. And someday you will be able to shape that wave with a single thought - because you will know how to do such a thing.

You are a part of the infinite universe and you will learn to become a more effective part of it. You will go through the Earth type worlds and graduate to the technocratic worlds and on to the worlds where physical forms mean less and less. Then you will find yourself born in spectra which are inhabited by worlds of pure energy, well-elevated above the simple atom.

Each step up will increase your influence and skills in mastering the flow of energy within you and around you. Eventually you will achieve, what now would be perceived by you as, godlike abilities - and galaxies will be spawned at your whim and you will be able to do things too fantastical to even explain. Yet, when you reach this point you will long ago have shed the human emotions and drives and have vastly greater ones. You will see the mysteries behind all of life, death and how all things grow and must die to evolve and broaden their abilities and fulfill the proposition of infinity - which makes the infinite universe ever more infinite with each passing moment and doing this by infinitely developing each individual and yet interlinked component.

Your love will not be reserved for one, or even a few but your love will encompass galaxies and dimensions and this will seem completely normal as you assist others to spread their own infinite wings and learn of this infinite universe.

No, external forces are completely controllable - as they relate to you. Your energy is the energy that other energy must react to and you are able to develop, through evolution, experience and your thoughts, your own energy structures. All things negative will cease to have any power over you once you refine your own energy structures that they hook into. And learn how to refine your thoughts, build up structures which will become edifices to your effort to learn and understand from your experiences and all that surrounds you.

The illusion of detachment here on Earth is pervasive. Just a man. Or woman. Subject to a vast universe that seems somehow to have conspired against one and which seem to buffet one around like a sand castle destroyed by the surf.

But that's all it is - just a grand illusion.
