It seems from your comment of (at least to the best of my abilities) that maybe you might want to start with the apprehension you feel about your abilities. It has always been my belief that my mind is the most powerful thing in the universe and can and will allow us to do and receive whatever we “expect” to. What do you see your abilities allowing you to do? What do you expect from them will happen? Positive “belief”, not hoping or wanting, I believe is a key to a human beings success in life. Believing in anything comes from personal experience and the reinforcement of that experience, positive or negative in ones mind. This can be something you personally have experienced by going through it or having been told or having seen it and then having that experience reinforced by future experiences. I work at accepting negative experiences or thoughts as challenges and look for the positive out comes I want and make a “map” to straighten those crooked roads. You will learn a lot about yourself and therefore others in the process, what you do with it will be the difference. This is where I find myself.
Bursting out laughing, to me would indicate a realization of reality, positive or negative only you can answer that. Either way try and capture those first thoughts; take the positive and roll with it, take the negative and find the positive road through it. This is all easier said than done but with practice (experience), it becomes easier and you begin to realize what you really want. Our minds are bombarded with thoughts, so “catching” those first thoughts can be difficult, at least for me, so when you think you have them write them down and examine them, I think you might just find they will lead you to what you truly want.

There are so many things I’d like to ask you…is a shift in world consciousness an imperative? seen Avatar?
Chakras & personal energy seems to be an accepted fact, ie. Reiki, Accupuncture, Yoga etc.

What about 2012? …An imminent end to this cycle? What is your view of past lives? I think I have some personal proof, …
God genderless? Hindu philosophy …reverse feet kissing…parents kiss child’s…a zen mind…no great religions out there…?

We are trying Attachment Parenting, but need more spiritual context…

May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.”Deepak
