can I practice this?

No Azureus, I did not say ‘read their mind’ translating energy is understanding the language that the body performs first and not misinterpreting intention, and the process of translating energy is feeling and knowing people, because most people do not ‘relate’ physically what they are actually feeling deep within, they tend to act out what others want from them, reading others thoughts takes much practice and all of these skills require you to be very neutral in your opinions or you will only get the response you think is right, it is very complex, and age has nothing to do with it, but being as young as you are can limit the maturity with experience and impatience can also be an issue with younger people.

I think you should read up as much as you can about programming, and can you explain why the octahedron feels like a trigger, when you played with these magnetic toys, were your experiences negative?

[Azureus]

 Sorry for the misunderstanding. I put "read their mind" in quotations because I couldn't think of the correct words to use there and "read their mind" was the closest I could come up with from what I understood. So, basically, by translating energy you are reading someone's body language and understanding that language as the persons intentions?

To be honest, it sometimes does feel like I'm "reading people's minds" because I can sense what they are thinking/intending to do. It's not an overwhelming sense, like smell, taste, hearing, etc... it's sort of like I have to channel into it and focus to be able to do it. It feels like it's become something that I do in my subconsciousness.

I'm still struggling to find an understandable explanation of what "programming" really is. I've been browsing through the Deprogramming forum for a while and still lack an understanding of what programming is... I'm a person with no prior knowledge of programming, and before seeing this forum I was completely unaware of it's existence. Any links or references to good reading material would be very much appreciated. :)

On to the subject of octahedrons and my childhood... When doing a google image search of octahedron, a few images came up. I chose one that has the most resemblance to the shapes I was making and peaked at the larger image. It's surprisingly only a tiny bit larger than the ones I made, and about the same thickness (lines) as the magnet rods. If you just visualize silver magnetic balls where the lines connect, you can see exactly what I was making.

Looking at this image doesn't "trigger" anything in me (still unclear of what I should feel when being "triggered") but it does flood my mind with memories and emotions from my early childhood, which I find very interesting. I feel a bit different when looking at the shape, but I doubt that's me being "triggered", just me reminiscing. :D

I can't call these experiences "negative" because I was playing, but there was some discomfort associated with these little magnet toy sessions. This friend that I played with (who I'm still friends with today, but not "best friends" with) and I would constantly be getting into arguments and fights. I think I can recall him tearing down my spinning octahedron structures to build something new and I would feel angry and violent and throw myself at him and that would be the end of that magnet toy play time. :P I always wanted to leave the octahedrons sitting there and add more next time I came over, but they obviously were always torn down and put away.
Were the experiences negative? I can't exactly say they were, but a lot of them didn't have very positive outcomes.

I'll try to learn more about programming and read about it, but it's hard to find info when "programming" is such a broad keyword for a google search. I can't type in "what is programming" into any forum search and get an accurate answer, and typing that into google is just ridiculous.

Patience shouldn't be an issue with me. I happen to be very patient for my age, and perhaps any age. I can't say I've gained much maturity through experiences, because I live a pretty uneventful life. I do however spend a lot of free time thinking. Thinking about the universe, the mind, others minds and feelings, and everything I see.
I feel like my mind is on a different level than most people my age because I've advanced through through many different stages of thoughts. By "stages of thought" I mean I've spent more time thinking than some and have gone through many 'metamorphoses' into different levels of the same thought. I feel that through thinking about reality and the universe you can gain a realization of something which leads to a deeper and more complex thought that takes more time and effort to get a realization out of. So I feel that through this mentality and the time I've taken to think about everything my maturity level and patience is greater than many of those in my age group. Hope that made sense to you.

Long post... time to end it. :P I don't know how my brief reply that was typed in the quick reply box turned into this essay of a post with smileys and everything, I just know it's time to stop typing. icon_stumm

Well Azureus, your reply tells me that you are a mature thinker, and you understand what I am saying, and that tells me that your spiritual knowledge is advanced, and this knowledge has no age barrier, but evolving this knowledge does require actual life experiences.  

There is no simple way to understand programming, and to make it more confusing many of us have different concepts of what it is, I can only suggest that you read up as much as you can, there are a zillion sites, go to mind control/programming and just take in what seems important and throw the rest away, out of your thought process, then just ask questions as many people here on the forum have advanced knowledge of this topic.

I think it is more reminiscing that triggering, and perhaps the octahedron will display a map to your own programming, and I am not trying to confuse you. It is common to feel the way you do, (compared to others your age) when you have advanced inner knowledge, just about everyone here will tell you that is how they felt at your age.

[Azureus]

I understand that progressing knowledge does require actual life experience which is why I intend to travel and experience as much of life as I can once out of school.

I'll get to reading and try to narrow down my search keywords so I can find more information. I'll have to find some more info on here to find better keywords though. I have lots and lots of questions about programming now. I should read as much as I can and then ask questions if there are any left...

Thanks for your replies and advice.

This is completely unrelated to this thread but I couldn't think of a place to post it. I have a thought and tons of questions, and I'd like to hear opinions on this. Hopefully there are some people with similar beliefs and a lot of knowledge about this.

I believe in reincarnation, and was thinking about it today, and hundreds of questions and thoughts and ideas popped up... Why do we think in our native languages? I mean obviously because we speak that language and that's what we understand, but how would thoughts be processed with no language? What about for animals who don't speak any human languages?

Is there a "language of the soul" that we forget or stop using because of languages in physical reality? Did all people originally think in the same language? If not, were there a few different languages or did everyone think in a different language? Would we just think in emotions and feelings without a language?

On to a partially related, but different question... Is it possible to remember past lives? It seems like it's a waste not to remember everything you've worked towards throughout all of your lives. Is reaching enlightenment the only way to stop the reincarnation cycle?

Last question... this is the big one... will be doing a lot of google searching on this one, but I figured I should add it anyways. Where did our existence come from? How did my mind get created? Ever since I was a little kindergartner, or earlier, I always felt like my mind was infinite - that even if I died, my mind would continue existing. So where did our minds and thoughts come from? This one had me thinking for a while.

Any thoughts/opinions are very welcome; I'd love to hear your thoughts and learn more about this.

[Astrojewels]

Well Azureus, you have all the hardest questions in such a small space! All of these topics we have discussed here on the forum, but it would be a matter of searching, no one can tell you the complete answers to your questions, I do believe we are all on a self journey because that is the most important role in your life, discovering who you are as a whole without the distractions of life in general.

Yes you can remember past life streams, another complex topic, but I do believe it is not the actual physical person that you should remember but the energy of that person, the mind pattern and soul personality.

How did your mind get created? Well that is one question that will bring many answers, to put it in simple manner is not possible, the mind creates a pattern, a pattern of thought which is like a routine, and this is influenced by everything you read, see, feel, your parents, your neighborhood, your school, teachers, food and just about everything, life is a distraction to our spiritual body but without it we could not ever understand physical experiences.

Where did our existence come from?

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.. ;)

Somewhere here on the forum we have a Galactic History.
