A Higher Plane "of thinking"
Excerpts from spiritual reading material that inspire a higher plane of thinking.
"What is true in space may be true in time, and the law of physics may hold in the spiritual realm. When the soul of man departs out of the body, being released from the grossness of the flesh, it may enter on a life a thousand times more intense than this: in which it will not need the dull senses as avenues of knowledge, because the spirit itself will be all eye, all ear, all intelligence; while memory, like an electric flash, will in an instant bring the whole of the past into view; and the moral sense will be quickened as never before. Here then we have all the conditions of retribution — a world which, however shadowy it may be seem, is yet as real as the homes and habitations and activities of our present state; with memory trailing the deeds of a lifetime behind it, and conscience, more inexorable than any judge, giving its solemn and final verdict." - from An Open Letter to Robert G. Ingersoll.

There is no beginning or end to life.
Life does not begin, nor does it end. Life just is. It continues just like a forest that loses a tree, the spirit and life of the forest is there. Just like a lawn is a single organism of grass all interconnected, the universe itself is alive and one. The universe is one yet built of many spirits, it is a compound life and as such has a compound soul. When a tree bears a fruit, which contains the seed that leaves the tree and enters the ground, then sprouts into a new tree, this life force never ends and never begins. Humans and conception are like the tree and the fruit and human death is like the death of a tree in the forest, the tree has returned to the ground to decay to dirt, to enter a new seed as nutrients and become life again. At no point is the tree actually completely dead. It appears dead to the unknowing, yet is still part of the living universe and still alive.
Awareness, feelings, consciousness and even soul are all subjective and only relevant to the individual parts of the universe that they pertain to at that moment. That is to say, these virtues or attributes, energies or forces come and go and are from the Universe as a whole and in the long run are not fixed to any fixed set of atoms that make up an autonomous object or living being within this sphere of one overall life force.
To carry this further, as in saying another way, the steak someone eats will be transformed from the animal it once was into many other forms, some of it which will enter the body of the one consuming it and thus parts will become part of the person, or animal, consuming it and become as alive as part of that consuming creature.To say that life begins at conception or birth is difficult argument because the life is already existing before the events of sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction is merely transformation of existing life. The process of death is the same, yet appears to be one of interruption, it is not. The Universe does not care about time, it cares about process. The process of life continues. Rybird November 10, 2017

Soul vibrations are no less tangible than sound waves, though their nature and medium of
propagation are more exotic. They employ the same medium through which light and radio waves
travel but are made of potential waves rather than electromagnetic waves. This means the soul
vibratory field (also known as the aura) consists of fields and waves far subtler than electric or
magnetic fields, which is why conventional instruments cannot detect the aura.

Explanation: Not all roses are red of course, but they can still be very pretty. Likewise, the beautiful Rosette Nebula and other star forming regions are often shown in astronomical images with a predominately red hue, in part because the dominant emission in the nebula is from hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen's strongest optical emission line, known as H-alpha, is in the red region of the spectrum, but the beauty of an emission nebula need not be appreciated in red light alone. Other atoms in the nebula are also excited by energetic starlight and produce narrow emission lines as well. In this gorgeous view of the Rosette Nebula, narrowband images are combined to show emission from sulfur atoms in red, hydrogen in blue, and oxygen in green. In fact, the scheme of mapping these narrow atomic emission lines into broader colors is adopted in many Hubble images of stellar nurseries. The image spans about 100 light-years in the constellation Monoceros, at the 3,000 light-year estimated distance of the Rosette Nebula. T

Of and About The Night of Pan
The Universe itself is alive and has its own biological processes that ultimately results in an evolutionary transformation. This process includes that which we call death for the sentient being; that is identical to the process for non-sentient objects. Liber AL teaching us that “Every man and woman is a star” refers to the same Gnosis that Shakespeare speaks of when he writes: “We are the stuff that stars are made of.” Moving to a higher level of complexity then does not really involve organisms developing or refining internal or external organs, but moving to a greater aggregate of consciousness. As Blavatsky points out in her own writings on evolution, the organ appears first before its use is exploited. Indeed, with consciousness or sentience apparent in both the macrocosm and the microcosm, we are moving in both involuntary and evolutionary directs; simultaneously. The process of becoming is engendered by the process of decay and reorganization. And we must go through these processes on all planes in both body and soul. From Paul Joseph Rovelli Scientific Illuminism
The truly magical operations of Love are therefore the Trances, more especially those of Understanding; as will readily have been appreciated by those who have made a careful Qabalistic study of the nature of Binah. For she is omniform as Love and as Death, the Great Sea whence all Life springs, and whose black womb reabsorbs all. She thus resumes in herself the duplex process of the Formula of Love under Will; for is not Pan the All-Begetter in the heart of the Groves at high noon, and is not Her "hair the trees of Eternity" the filaments of All-Devouring Godhead "under the Night of Pan?" From Night Of Pan In Writings Of Crowley - Thelema and Faith
Within the system of Thelema, the Night of Pan, or N.O.X., is a mystical state that represents the stage of ego-death in the process of spiritual attainment.
The playful and lecherous Pan is the Greek god of nature, lust, and the masculine generative power. The Greek word Pan also translates as All, and so he is “a symbol of the Universal, a personification of Nature; both Pangenetor, "all-begetter," and Panphage, "all-devourer" (Sabazius, 1995). Therefore, Pan is both the giver and the taker of life, and his Night is that time of symbolic death where the adept experiences unification with the All through the ecstatic destruction of the ego-self. In a more general sense, it is the state where one transcends all limitations and experiences oneness with the universe. Wiki
We arrive then at a clear conception of a Universal Mind that is the massive aggregate consciousness of the Universe; the truly divine! We as humans, having the power to interact with particles and waves; participating in their determinism, are clearly the most conscious expression; each of us in singular nodes. In this way, we are truly an expression of divinity; creative gods being omnipotent, omnipresent and omnipotent in by own individual rights.

Why does life strive to live?
Primal earth conditions became suited for creating organic material spontaneously. In the system of physics and chemistry as it existed, there became stable structures, and unstable ones, but at one point a replicator arose in this system, and grew to dominate. These became cellular organisms that, at first glance, seemed to be attempting to "survive", but have really were just been the most efficient replicator from a series of ancestors. Then a tipping point' or critical mass of sorts was reached where the primitive self replicators begin to survive. And through the process somewhere, consciousness sprang up as a more successful method to continue replicating and surviving. And upon becoming more complex organisms emotions and thought became the tools for survival. These complex feelings mixed with millions of years of instinct drive humans to question death. Then we try to answer the fundamental question... continue reading at the blog post here: Why does life strive to live |

Rybird Discography
Music is able to bring humans into the neighborhood of divine experience and can thus carry us up from our personal fate and the everyday circumstances of our life into a higher form of reality. Something much higher, namely the knowledge of the possibility of the soul to enter into a lighter being, and to catch a glimpse of deeper insights and more magnificent visions of the beauty, truth, and the divine than we are normally able to spy through the cracks in our prison cell. I feel that music has the ability to activate, potentiate, and sometimes mercilessly expose everything that a person has in his or her consciousness or buried beneath it and communicate, carry it on a higher plane to and from others.
