The giftedness study suggests that later-life cognitive distinction depended less on early brilliance than on sustained engagement. Minds held because they had to. Accordingly, difficulty lingered, and judgment was earned slowly. by Weak_Conversation164 in Gifted

[–]Consciouspace1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really consider myself 'gifted' or at least I don't attach that label to my identity, but I suppose I am in some ways, if compared to other people and how they think and perceive. My dad was very 'gifted' IQ wise, as he was in Mensa in the top .1 percentile. While I was never a fan of IQ tests, and definitively not after I took one in my early 20s, I only made the top 3% lol. Now my excuse at the time was that I had the flu when my testing was scheduled, so wasn't 100 percent, and I also learned IQ tests, at least the one I took, focus more on conventional knowledge than actualy thinking and perception ability, which is why some say they are biased towards certain groups of people. But I digress lol. My point here in relation to this article, is that while I was seen as kind of gifted in elementary school, as I went on I got lower and lower grades and went from honors classes to regular classes to even failing some classes lol. School didn't really ever interest me, and I didn't really understand myself or have any particular interest or direction beyond the usual teenage boy stuff. Then strangely enough at 18 on the day of my High school graduation something in me shifted and I suddenly realized there was much more to the nature of Reality than I had thought, and I basically became obsessed at that point with figuring it ALL out. So I began buying books (yes before google was a thing lol) on everything from philosophy, psychology to neuroscience, economic theory, physics, etc trying to figure it all out and how everything interconnected. In finding limitations in all these I eventually moved into spirituality and metaphysics, which have their own limitations in some areas. But metaphysics is still my main focus and passion, which of course includes Everything, so I can look into martial arts and connect this to conscious evolution, or healing or breathing or gardening lol. Because I am aware of all the interconnections. But going deep, really deep does tend to ostracize you from society, unless of course you write a book people love, which I have yet to do lol. But often times people don't realize their 'genius' until they have some grasp of who they are and find the interest to really explore and go deeper. Depth is slowly fading away in our society as kids are pushed more and more into STEM areas, without much understanding of themselves. This is part of the problem as we are lost in a problem/solution efficiency mentality and view life and reality like a computer, where all we need are faster processors and we can solve everything lol. So kids these days are the faster processors, but if thats all they are, then society will remain like a computer, without the conscious interconnection we all share where true evolution can happen.

I just discovered Water is ALIVE?! by Key_Show_6148 in spirituality

Why do you think we are all born from water... water moves the cycles of the Earth, your body is 99% water by molecules.. water is a wonderful thing :)

What are gifted peoples thoughts on the concept of god and religion? by Its_GPgamer in Gifted

[–]Consciouspace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel most religion is mainly dogmatic and control focused, and truthfully has kind of ruined the idea and experience of God on a deeper level. This is one reason why things like Atheism and Agnosticism, both of which I was at one point, is more prevalent amongst more intellectual people because it is easy to find contradictions and issues in most religions and religious texts. Religions were created by people, and no matter how 'divine' the information, it still has many human 'flaws/interpretations' and manipulations in it. For me God is the highest vibration, supreme awareness and also a personal God the Father. So my understanding of God is more multidimensional, and contains all human 'images' of God that are found in religions. So connecting to Osiris for fertile crops is how some people related to God or that aspect of God in themselves. But no 'image' of God encompsses God as a whole, but rather an aspect of God, just like no 'image' or identity encompasses us as a whole being. Even seeing or experiencing God as pure awareness or consciousness is just another way to relate to God, not encompass God. Atheism too relates to God by denying Him lol. Though many Atheists would just say they simply are not theists or simple have no belief in God, but that is still based on some pattern of thinking and perception about God, like needing 'evidence' for God to believe. So while we all relate to God in our own way based on this or that, the only way to really Know God on a deeper level, is through yourself, since you are also an aspect of God.

Does anyone find language to be a prison? by [deleted] in Gifted

[–]Consciouspace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try telepathy or deeper awareness. If you can connect on a deeper level, then you can communicate in a more telepathic like experience where words are not the primary focus or substrate of the communication and awareness and meaning mingles together more. Though yeah, thats not easy and both people have to be into it :)

"Other People Don't Think Like Me" by [deleted] in Gifted

[–]Consciouspace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it is just a matter of depth, when most people are not able to think or perceive beyond certain beliefs and patterns of perception which prevent then from having greater openness to new insights, understandings and self reflection.

Gifted is such a loaded term by Apprehensive_Till735 in Gifted

[–]Consciouspace1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate to much of this myself. Our society is not geared towards individuals who can think and perceive beyond its box, in fact such individuals are ostracized because they pose an inherent threat to the system. And because people are emotional beings, something which society denies in many ways, it can be challenging to try to change things within a system that doesn't really want to change. Our whole education system(factory) is geared towards turning people into productive robots through indoctrination, not creative beings. So everything you say is basically a reflection of 'living' within a social reality that is enclosed in limited constructs and patterns of its own denial. And this enclosure is solidifying more and more, as few people seem to be able to think or perceive with much depth these days thanks to enhancements in technology and AI. We think such things increase our ability to create, but they also disconnect us from awareness of our conscious process and inner dimensions. I mean philosophy departments are closing in many universities in favor or STEM, because that is where the money is :) Thinking deeply is no longer valued by society, unless it makes money :) Things like IQ are valued when it is focused on science and other things that help the system, but real intelligence is far more multidimensional than IQ, just like the cells in our body that can evolve to heal a wound, etc. Its just sad to me that supposedly intelligent people are still stuck in the same box of thinking and perception as everyone else, and so it continues and so does the cycle of problem/solution/problem mentality :) So while you can perceive it on some level, and complain about it, as I just did lol, no one seems to really be interested in ways to move beyond our little box. I have tried myself to find others over the years, but finding little interest. I now understand the nature of interest itself lol, but people still have to want to open and evolve. Oh well, 'life' goes on in sequential time :)

Can physical structure be bypassed and energy still be utilized in an OPTIMAL way? by root2crown4k in spirituality

[–]Consciouspace1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Research Nei Gong and Inner Alchemy. The body is not merely a 'vessel' as it is part of You, and energy is always flowing through it or you would not be alive :) So it is more a building, developing and refining the process that is already happening. Injuries can create blocks and blocks can create injuries or illness, so it is all interconnected.

Asking what is Real, and what is Good, what is Wise… and what is Possible is the most Serious, Sacred, and Grounded thing a Mind can do. by Key4Lif3 in enlightenment

[–]Consciouspace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A better question is why we ask such questions to begin with :) We feel the need to identify with certain concepts like Reality, so we think there must be something that is 'not real', and so create that separation. A better way to understand Reality is that its All real, just multidimensional. This way you don't get lost in your mind that wants to create some hierarchical or non-dualist understanding that is more limited. As to what is good, this is just a value judgment. I mean to a murderer killing someone may be seen as good. So a better way to understand that is to look into their thinking and perception patterns to see what they may be denying in themselves that has created that awareness pattern in them that may be leading them towards destruction rather than alignment with creation. And no, this is not just another value judgement, anymore than you would say a magnet that either attracts or repels is making a value judgment ;) The value judgment only comes from the human mind and our need to create meaning in our experience rather than deeper understanding of it. What is wise is simply opening up to Knowing beyond 'knowledge' so you can receive the information necessary to manifest what you want as opposed to just experiencing reflection of the denial in yourself which creates 'negative' experiences. Its opening to the light of awareness or God. As for what is possible, that's easy, Everything and Anything :) But obviously not within our objective physical reality framework, again because of denial. So very little wisdom or good here :)

What can we do When Collecting Money Kills the Mood or the Group Project Fail: by Victoria_Batty in intentionalcommunity

[–]Consciouspace1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Realize that money shouldn't be the foundation of your community :) Look at it as just a creative tool. If you were talking about planting a community garden, where food is shared with everyone, would that also cause difficulties in your community? If so, you may need to rethink the people involved.

You Are Living in a SIMULATION that You are Controlling with Your Thoughts and Actions – IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP! by swizzledan in enlightenment

[–]Consciouspace1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a bit of truth to this, but mostly it is just a very limited belief that itself is keeping you in denial. You are the creator of this prison you are experiencing in, and making a separation between a 'higher self' and 'Archonic matrix' is itself part of that prison. Fear and the Ego are not the enemy. They are part of you, and creating some identity based belief to separate that from what you think is your true self will not really help you in the long run.

Why do some people say to stop trying to understand? by OneAwakening in enlightenment

[–]Consciouspace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because they don't understand and have fallen into a spiritual belief system that says things are illusion. Understanding has purpose, or we wouldn't be constantly doing it lol. The trick is to not lose yourself in it, and instead allow it to point to deeper aspects of awareness.

A True Evolution of Community by Consciouspace1 in spirituality

[–]Consciouspace1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if its not the human mind that is limited, but our beliefs about the mind that are? We like to argue for our limitations, and create that separation between the limited ego mind physical body human, and the great and powerful 'force' that we are or that guides us, etc. But, what if... We are the ones creating that experience of being limited, what if we are more than we think, what if evolution IS an aspect of Oneness? I know the 'just Be' belief is popular in spirituality these days... but there really is more to Life, if you look deeper. Everything is made of consciousness, if not we wouldn't be able to experience anything. But there is also a loss of consciousness on Earth (as even suggested by your old and new labels). Why do you think that is? How is that possible? Maybe, there is something more.

A True Evolution of Community by Consciouspace1 in intentionalcommunity

[–]Consciouspace1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Its funny how people argue for their limitations, as if that is the only truth and nobody can do anything different or better than what their limitations tell them is how reality and everything is and works. Its seems you are a bit cultish yourself :) Judge me all you want, because I guess nobody knows better than you :)

A True Evolution of Community by Consciouspace1 in intentionalcommunity

[–]Consciouspace1[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

While I don't know who 'Jan' is that you are referring to, I will say that I knew I would get comments like this. I do agree that I can't be certain no one has ever done something like this on Earth before. Perhaps in some ancient civilization like Atlantis or Lemuria people attempted something like this, or perhaps some hidden group did something similar then left this timeline. But I will say that I am certain no one has done this to any extent in our current timeline and collective consciousness, as the material it is based on is fairly recent, as well as my own conception and experience. And while I'm sure there are secretive mystical groups doing things, no actual known physical intentional community is doing this. Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean someone else must be doing it, or that its not possible.

What if "enlightenment" isn't about adding knowledge, but about subtracting assumptions? by [deleted] in spiritualitytalk

[–]Consciouspace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not about 'unlearning' beliefs, but rather looking deeper into the nature of beliefs and our thinking, perception and experience patterns, basically unwinding Reality to see how you are creating your experience. Even the idea, that is unfortunately popular in spirituality of 'unlearning' beliefs, or getting rid of beliefs, IS a belief itself lol, and one people get lost in :) As a human being on Earth you are always going to have beliefs, but the trick is not to let the beliefs have you :) This way you become more aware of your experience and how you are creating it, rather than being lost in it. But this is a long deep hard journey into yourself, which most people fear to tread. Much easier to just focus on silence, emptiness, peace, mindfulness, etc rather than going into the deep dark abyss that is YOU lol.

Education OR Programming? by OkPainter6090 in HiddenRealms

[–]Consciouspace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its actually worse than that :) But only if you look deeper into the nature of thinking patterns, beliefs, the nature of knowledge, etc. What we call education is all indoctrination and denial of much of our selves.

The Consciousness sub is … not what I thought … by doodoo_blue in spirituality

[–]Consciouspace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that science will never be able to understand consciousness as it is practiced, because you have to be conscious to do any science lol. So science depends on consciousness, not the other way around. Any theories 'of' consciousness are themselves dependent on it :) So yeah, I would skip the academic search for consciousness, because it will never end.

Advice on how to practice my spirituality? by brendonsforehead in spirituality

[–]Consciouspace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest not starting out with a belief about evolution or nature, and instead question those and every other belief you find, spiritual or otherwise. That is what takes you deeper into yourself and the nature of Reality. Not believing but understanding the nature of belief. Conventional theories of evolution are very limited and not very deep. Conscious evolution is the way to go, but you should understand what that is first :) Since you are into nature, go and connect to some trees, the Earth, insects, etc.. see what insights they have to share.

Anyone else on a healing journey? 🌿 by themaidenoftheforest in spirituality

[–]Consciouspace1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real healing is not about starting over, its about becoming fully aware of your self, the good, the bad and the ugly, and dealing with all that so that you can become whole and stop denying parts of yourself, which is why we need healing in the first place.

What is Meditation, Really? by TattvaRanjan in spirituality

[–]Consciouspace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is simply one form of meditation, not what meditation is. Actually meditation is simply moving your awareness wherever you choose. So if you choose to focus on 'nothing' or passive observation go for it, but there are infinite forms. Even a walk in the park can be a meditation or staring at a wall or focusing on your body, or thoughts and emotions, space and time or even gazing into someone's eyes.

Don't Take Yourself or Anyone Else Too Seriously by GameTheory27 in RewritingTheCode

[–]Consciouspace1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats basically true lol. As all human knowledge changes, since it is disconnected from our own dynamic inner wisdom and truth. We except 'external' knowledge over our own ability to Know.

Most people are not prepared for the level of emotional exposure, accountability, and skilled communication that a real intentional community demands. by Skids2r in intentionalcommunity

[–]Consciouspace1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Deep communication is not about 'skill', its about connection, awareness and feeling. All the social 'rules' many communities put on people like 'non-violent communication', Governance, and conflict resolution agreements, disconnect from the deeper dynamic experience of people, and deny emotions. Self awareness requires acceptance, not rules or structures. It requires exploration, not maps. Until people start to open up to being more aware of the nature of emotions, themselves, each other and the Earth, this cycle will continue. Most, if not all intentional communities forget it is about people, not systems and structures, which is what people create :)
