RE: Mission 1017
The inquiste mind looks for proof in the external world. if you are really that inquiste to know the presense of the entire universe, it is there inside every one of us right here and right now. it just takes stilling the mind to feel it. As much as it sounds easy, it is as goods a taming wind, but it is possible with practise.

But concerning the 1017 subject?
RE: Mission 1017
Welcome to the forum Core 😀
Skeptic mind is the barrier to feel the presense of the self.
Personally I feel that healthy questioning and discernment is fundemantal to cutting through the layers that bind us to an illusionary reality. I have noticed that people often just blindly follow an idea (erm... such as Oct 17th), belief or doctrine in the hope to gaining or manifesting something without inward discernment at all(rathering that knowing that they are complete and whole within themselves RIGHT NOW) . Following blindly in this way is also (in my view) a barrier to the true self.
if you are really that inquiste to know the presense of the entire universe, it is there inside every one of us right here and right now.
Couldn't agree more.

RE: Mission 1017
I think we all agree on the mind in fact :)but it's just a question of how to put that into words - and typed words at that. No facial cues - as if we ALL have on a burqa! 😉
So I agree with Trin that you've got to apply intellect to a degree, though I also agree with the yogic/Hindu concept that the mind isn't the real self, no more than is the body. We must have applied intellect at some point to have decided not to apply it too much and not to be skeptical! For example, like many other people, for me it was partly, but only partly, a mental process in deciding years ago what I could accept as being real and true about life and the universe, and what form of spiritual Path to tread. (Though probably mind was the least of what was used.)
After that, a process that perhaps Core has already been through, you don't need mind so much, just as you certainly don't want the intellect or mind in the way if you are meditating. In most spiritual practices, just as we put the body into a passive position and forget it, we also leave intellect behind. But like the body it's an essential tool we can't, literally, live without.
Edit to add: To Core: I can see what's happened here, that you've stepped into the thread thinking me a skeptic or a materialist. Believe me, I'm not ;)- but as Trin says it's necessary to have discernment, and "10/17" being a good example. Apologies if I mocked it a little, but these dates keep popping up, and you start to wonder when people will learn!
RE: Mission 1017
venetian, my replies did not me mean to offend, my apologies if it sounded.
I'm not advocate for the 1017 message, don't know how far the 1million fold is true. I did meditate on that date as usual as I do every day, did sense the transmission that I feel everyday. My personal opinion is the energyis there all the time, it is our mind pattern that blocks it, we have to cleanse it to absorb the most, a spiritual master makes this journey easier.
All the best in your journey towoards the goal.
