            <description>Posted by gregor&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; Today by reading the book "I Remeber Lemuria" I learnt that the sun was a vast planet at one time, covered in forest and with lost of mist. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The sun's sun then died and our sun lay in space with the "wood" breaking down to carbon over eons.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Then a "burning ball" struck the sun and ignited it and life in the solar system started.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There was heaven on earth, even before Lemuria. Then the suns light started to change as the pure carbon fire started to burn heavier element that started to polute the earth.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Up to then there was no aging on earth and no disease, once the suns light changed these "un-natural" process started and the now Lemurian race moved under ground to get away from the suns rays. And also a huge evaquation of earth began.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Any ways.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
They left and we where born from the wild men of the forest left behind. The Lemurians and MANY races it said would never live on a planet next to an old sun (Old Sol) becuase the particales it through off affect the inhabitance badly in the form of thought process and aging and disease.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
???????????
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So ? why are we here ? 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
1) How can a Golden Age be coming when we life next to an old sun which is decaying? 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2) And does polaris live next to a sun which throughs off particals that cause disease? Or do they live in imperfect conditions?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3) Are we souls that are trying to learn to live with both good and evil within us and that is why we are on earth (with an old sun). &lt;img src='http://www.polarisrising.com/images/fbfiles/images/sun_tour.jpg' /&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

            <description>Posted by gregor&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; I read this book recently "I Remember Lemuria" it was really good and read it in 2 day. It is available to download off the web for free, if you google the title.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It is written by a man who could remeber his time on lemuria and played a prity important role in the countries history.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It is a bit mental/crazy in places, but as I read it as true it was prity crazy.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It is worth a read if you like stories of lemuria,it talks allot about the ancient technology, but life at the time seemed pritty amazing but there seemed to be a huge polarisation between good and evil.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It kind of makes us seem like a better race at times by comparison.&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

            <description>Posted by lovingawareness&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; I totally agree there are a lot of people dealing with alternate ways of processing inputs and even alternate realities.  When I first saw Donnie Darko, there was a huge amount of resonance.  It relaxed me.  Something about it felt like home.  I didn't know exactly what that meant, but the movie itself felt great, like for the time I was watching, there was something I didn't need to defend against. I'm certainly not schitzophrenic or indeed any of those classifications, but there is something to be said about having access to those realities.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
There's also a tendency - for anyone - to try to find the one cause for something.  Psychiatrists may try to pin it down to biology, or childhood trauma, or family systems, etc.  Michael students may pin it down to overleaves or essence choice at some level.   But it's always multi-factorial.  I tend to think "all of the above".  In terms of actually helping, it's different.  My limited experience with the mentally ill is that most are really tired of people trying to "help" without any real understanding or compassion.  People don't see the beauty of that expanded awareness, the difficulties, or anything close to what it's like experiencing the world like that.  It's funny how compassion is often considered "unscientific" and so that's a major factor in how we produce psychiatrists.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I have read a few psychologists/doctors who consider the auric/ethereal field valid in some ways because there's an interaction and perception that occurs (especially for the mentally ill) in a way that cannot simply be explained by biology or sensory perception.&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

            <description>Posted by lightspring&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; Hi Lloyd,
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for your insightful comments! I can only imagine the depth and breadth of the effects upon your entire family of one member's soul choice to experience reality in such a way. I find explorations of such realities fascinating, but in terms of trying to operate within the generally-accepted reality most of us share, it's heartbreaking. I suspect we are moving toward a world where there is more compassion, understanding, and awareness, but that will take time.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Warmly,
&lt;br /&gt;
Karen&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

            <description>Posted by marcrehula&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; 'Gathering momentum' has been a good description of this month.  There has been so much energy rushing through my life, and although much of it feels positive, it's been pretty exhausting.  It's been too difficult to really work consciously, instead I've been trying to just 'go with the flow'.&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

            <description>Posted by greybear&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; I hope "late" comments are acceptable as this is several months past the postings here!
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I've just recently become aware of this site and have been avidly absorbing many things posted here.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I've not had an analysis done (yet) but I seem to be able to place myself pretty well from the material.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
My comment is about the reference to schizophenia and the origins of such being related to the difficulties having to do with the second and sixth monad where no successful transition is accomplished which moves one toward a sense of individuality, or the ability to relate to others as different from themselves.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I have a 40+ year old son who is an extreme paranoid schizophenic.  He also lives with his mother (my ex-wife).  There has appeared to me to be a co-dependent relationship between them since birth.  This also has been alluded to by psychiatrists we have seen over the years.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The comment about the inability to control what transpires through the sixth monad, the "third eye" appears to be right on in his case.  He is constantly interacting with "voices" or influences that are apparent only to him and can only moderate this behaviour a little through heavy medication that sedates him.  He also is capable of manifesting intelligence and information at times which astounds me.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Other sources have stated that this is not an illness but a matter of choice.  If I can put this all together, the choice(s) appear to be made in this "lifetime" and not before manifestation. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This brings up (again) the whole spectre of parenting and (our) role in this epic experience.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We have two younger sons who are for all appearances normally advanced and quite successful, but this on-going drama with our oldest son has dramatically shaped our lives and the lives of all our family.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The other information here that struck me is the confirmation that this choice(?) is being made to some degree by 30% or more of those currently in "body".  This agrees with analyses published by those who are involved with the mentally "ill".  There are legions of these that are in various stages with the prisons having become the default mental "hospitals".
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for this site.  It is an eye-opener for me!

            <description>Posted by gregor&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; Can you please talk about transferance or projection and ways to healing projection ? Games you can play, things you can do ? 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Is workship a form of healing/positive transferance ?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes I think all religion and pagan practices are a form of transferace, or an attempt to heal though projection ?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Can Polaris help with understanding projection ?&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

            <description>Posted by earth dweller&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; I agree, I think we use transference on others to gain different perspectives to gain empathy and broaden our experience. Projection, to also remind ourselves of how we portray ourselves to others, whether it be acting from heart or from the mind. Interesting point Gregor!&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

            <description>Posted by lightspring&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; I would agree -- I don't think any of us are capable of truly knowing what it is like to be someone else. We'll still always have our own perception, no matter how much we attempt to imagine what it is like to be that other person. That's not to say that the practice isn't worthwhile, because it is. Certainly by imagining what it is like to be someone else, it gives us more compassion about their experience. But we are still viewing that from our own perception.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, to turn this around, we can root ourselves in the notion that we are all one. That each of us is truly a mirror for us in some way. I do love the idea of finding self in others. For me, it's a practice that builds understanding and compassion, not only for others but for myself as well. If I can love something in someone else, then surely I can find a way to love that thing in myself.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I would say that projection has more to do with expectations -- when you project yourself or your perceptions onto the behaviors of someone else, you create the expectation that they will behave as you would. Recipe for disappointment right there.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Transference, in my opinion, is about boundaries. When you have unclear boundaries you are more likely to transfer your perceptions from one person to another. We are always making qualitative assessments; it is difficult to remain rooted in the present and make assessments based solely on what you observe and feel in that moment, so we resort to transference in an attempt to make sense of things. But the better personal boundaries we have (expanding the Self into the space around us, not erecting walls), the better place we are in to make assessments about people without resorting to transference.&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

            <title>levels of conscience in a person and in a soul</title>
            <link>http://feeds.polarisrising.com/~r/LightspringTransformationsForum/~3/Rf8BevyZzQI/295-levels-of-conscience-in-a-person-and-in-a-soul.html</link>

            <description>Posted by lightspring&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; I think maybe you mean consciousness?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We are aspects of our souls. The soul itself has access to soul memories -- past lifetimes, between-life activities, astral activities, and a bit of the wider perspective that, for instance, Polaris has. Because our awareness is primarily that of the physical plane, that's where our focus is. But the soul has all the wisdom of its experience, all the past lifetimes and other experience, that we might not have as an aspect of the soul.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We all, theoretically, have access to anything our soul knows. But this can be challenging when our awareness is on a physical-plane level.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the overall focus of consciousness on the earth is changing. As individual souls, we have access to that overall global collective consciousness but we also maintain some individuality in terms of consciousness, simply because of differences in soul experience or focus of perception. That focus of perception ("soul age" ) may or may not be the same as the overall global consciousness. As individual souls, we choose an overall focus of perception in a given lifetime but that is always fluid; we are not "stuck" in one level of perception, but we might choose to maintain a certain range of perceptions.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
AS far as your second question (what will the world be like in the year 3500) I'll come back to that and invite the perception of Polaris.&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

            <description>Posted by lovingawareness&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt; I'm not sure how possible it is to truly experience what it is like to be someone else.  In acting, I've spent months bringing as much energy of a particular character forward as possible - and no matter what character it was, even criminals, there was always a strong element of myself in it.  Of course, this was usually an aspect of myself that I didn't usually bring out often.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Regarding psychology, I think the roots of psychology had as much to do with fighting to make sure it was considered as a science rather than an art, and so be taken seriously.  Many of the concepts are not absolute, but relative solely to the culture it was created in.  Freud, for example, modified many of his thoughts (such as regarding sexual abuse in his female hysteric clients) because he discovered those thoughts would not be accepted.  And so, I think there's a collective denial in the belief that it is possible for a psychologist to avoid transference and projection, which is to say, be divorced from one's own emotional issues and reality.  Projection and transference aren't by themselves good or bad, just something that happens when the connection to self isn't that solid yet.  Many psychologists have little firm connection to self; it is often a reason to enter the field.   Not all of them, of course - it's hit and miss.  
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Regarding seeing one's self in others, I think this is all we do.  I also think that the more we see ourselves clearly, with all our contradictions and infinite aspects, the more we can also see others clearly.  So seeing one's self clearly and seeing others clearly in my mind are intrinsically related.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Not sure if that answered your question, but those are my thoughts!&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
