I disagree, I have been reached to in dreaming regardless of my awareness level not being on par with the one who located me to aid me. I could not have fathomed such a beings but there they were. Power seeks us and then we respond. So much analysis Eilias, really it all boils down to power. An external factor. I think that makes people uneasy...the feeling that somethign out there is seeking them its like saying its out of their control. That's where we have to just decide that power already chose us long ago. All of us here have drempt with power, otherwise we would not be here at such a site. What we need to do is tune into our link. Stop thinking/analyzing so much.
I've been reading the Nag Hammadi Scrolls the last few days. It is a collection of writings of "Gnostics." They were a group of 1st and 2nd Century Christians who believed that Knowledge (Gnosis) came from real live spiritual experience. And they had been practicing their faith in that way.
Along comes a guy named Ireneus and decides that all Christians should believe the same things in the same ways and called the Gnostics "Heretics." That was they were not playing the game according to the rules that he layed down as the foundations for his ideas about what a Christian should believe. So he basically built a fence around his ideas and left the Gnostics outside of that fence.
He was working from a "stacked deck." Obviously if he said those who believed in personal experience were wrong, then that pretty much meant that he had had no personal experiences.
We need rules or borders of some sort just to define things. But we can go too far with them also, especially when it comes to spirtual things. How do we know how the Spirit will decide to manifest to us next? We do not.
Rules have their place, but it is kind of like the "Pirate Code." It's more like guidelines than laws.
