The Book of Life Discussion group

We had a discussion group on DU last year on the Book of LIfe. It puts into context alot of the stuff happening on earth right now (personal, political, etc.). I'm wondering if this is not a good time to offer to do it again.

Several people still on DU participated and they'll telln you it was a useful experience

1. That's funny...I just decided I needed to reread it again....
We really had some great threads on it and I agree...I think we could have some interesting discussions on it...so for the newer folks...if you have any questions about these times that everyone can sense are not about "life as usual"......lets talk :)

I look forward to you chatting here again Michael :hi:

2. hubby has been doing the DoA regularly and he is so helping remind
me that everything is happening just as it should be

he has been really all about taking back his power and I notice he is a lot less frustrated with our more difficult customers

he has really been helping a lot with the feng shui I have been doing on the house

things have been really changing around here :)

4. Here's a bit from the Intro.....
Edited on Tue Apr-05-05 02:20 AM by Desertrose
"Although many of you may not have realized it just yet, everyone on this planet has front row seats to one of the most amazing and beautiful creative events ever initiated. All of us currently existing in, on, and around this earth are about to witness the culmination of eons of physical evolution and spiritual effort. A divine plan set in motion at the very start of creation is reaching its glorious, divinely sanctioned, and spiritually magnificent denouement. Now the entire hosts of heaven, the spiritual hierarchies, and indeed the whole of creation are poised, watching and waiting, to participate in a divine event so magnificent its description is beyond mere words. Prophecies about heaven on earth and even our greatest imaginings of paradise lost do not do justice to the scope and magnitude of this event.

Just what is this event that everyone is so excited about?

It is known by different names in different cultures and within various religious doctrines. It is known as the creation of heaven on earth or as the return of the kingdom of Shambhalla. In the new age movement, they call it The Ascension. The word “ascension,” which literally means to move upward, is a perfect term for this process because, at its root, The Ascension really is about moving up...... "

<snip>


"Once you are better able to see the subtle spiritual realities unfolding in your back yard, the book will then help you understand the spiritual and physical significance of The Ascension. You will learn about the multidimensional character of creation, the nature of this particular level of the physical universe, and the importance of energy to creation. You will learn that when you are awake, you exist in the lowest physical dimension of creation. You will learn of the limitations of this low level as well as its attractions and the reason why ascension is such a desired and heralded event.

As you progress through this book, you will learn that ascension is a quantum event that affects the physical universe that you are aware of when you are awake. Ascension is simply the physical outcome of raising the vibratory energy of physical matter. When matter ascends,its base energy level jumps. It literally vibrates faster.

<snip>

This book is also about your place in the grand passion play that has been The Ascension drama. Questions you have about the meaning of your life (and of life in general), the reasons you incarnate on this planet, and why your life takes on the shapes and contours it does, will all be framed within the context of The Ascension."

6. i'd like to participate again
I had so much fun the first time reading the book, and I haven't ventured over to Michael's site in some time.

Let's get another reading group started soon!

Thanks

Rob

8. I'll pop in and out.
I'm jumping back and forth from state-to-state this month, packing and moving. I'd still love a "review!"

14. I just read through all the original threads
not too long ago. I sort of missed that train, but I now have a copy of the Book and would be game for another go-round.
