Should be easy enough to do with only 50 pieces. A simple matter of process of elimination. Now we place a 1500 piece puzzle on the table in front of you. Suddenly that simple process of elimination is not going to be so easy and quick. It CAN be done. At so,me poiunt the true picture will be revealed as you fit all the pierces together by sheer number of attempts, but all you have achieved at the end of the process is a full picture....

Yes - this is very similar to the way I was describing systems (I think in Liber R) - but anyways, the idea is - the puzzle picture and even the size of the puzzle is likely the same. More pieces just mean more challenge - to occupy the more "advanced" mind that needs or falls into it.

You inquired of balance before and what I was impressing and have been concerning either "reality" or "self-honesty" is that balance, by semantic quality, signifies and equilization between two opposing forces. The forces have not gone away - their just in limbo. The polarity still exists. All you've done is momentarily brushed it under the rug. This is very much like what philosophers call the "Enlightenment Deception" because from the perspective of relativity, maybe the psyche really does believe it has achieved its goal! In our world of forms, the best way we can see it is through "unity" - separation is achieved by virtually every other manner. Absence of polarity clearly cannot occur in the world of form because it would cause it to cease to be - thus the polarity exists to achieve the appearance of movement and form necessary. Balance and Equilization are aspects that necessarily beg the question of "extremes" - it is this point of "extremes" if nothing else, that is to be avoided in life. It is much better to focus on that then "spontaneous ascension".

I do not have the ability to retain vast amounts of data the way that people like yourself can.I am not a coward but I have spent a lifetime clinging violently to my integrity and holding it without price before me. This is what I contribute to the consciousness and my humanity. It is not for an illusional I, but for the universe that makes me what I am, as that is my priority, and not the flesh I leave to the ground. That is my strength and my weapon when I stand before the enemy, because it does not face a simple man filled with ego and delusion; it faces the consciousness of the universe.

Hey Baylin; I thought I was the only 50 year old guy posting on the forum; I can relate to the whole data retention thing. At the age of fifty the wires aren't as tight as they used to be. I take copious amounts of fish oil and have used focus factor that seems to help with memory retention.The other thing is what enemies are you talking about? There are no enemies; read the conversation between Arjuna and Krishna while they were on the battlefield in the book the Mahabharata. That whole us versus them thing is bullshit it instills fear. Pragmatically speaking we have to do what is necessary to minimize suffering and pain in our lives and the lives of those we love. That's if we choose to do so. But inwardly once we get past the eye sockets the only enemy if we perceive it in that manner is ourselves. The fragmented persona of the human psyche, but even that is temporary once we get to the abyss. The abyss is that dark place religion has taught people to fear. The great deception is the presence of fear; Nabu and Hybride are real big on that they have not so gently pointed out some of my fears and I had to let them go. Ain Soph in the Kabbalah means no thing. No thing means no thoughts (internal dialogue) no thoughts as in deep meditation means no fear. No fear means no deception. Contextually while in human form and in human interaction fear can be a good thing it is a survival mechanism as in fight or flight. but inwardly the real integrity is to live fearlessly and trust in the out workings of the universe which is yourself.
