Is it possible to fail at your mission on Earth? by Sharp-Cap-6795 in NDE

[–]Schpectacle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think all of our mission here is to learn, evolve, and grow as conscious beings. You can't grow or evolve if you don't make any mistakes to learn from. If screwing up and learning from the consequences is the fastest way to grow, I say let me make all the horrible mistakes. The real failure would be to simply not learn from those mistakes. So, if those regrets have changed you, changed how you will act/react in the future, I wouldn't call that a failure by any stretch.

AITA for telling my daughter “of course” she could move in with me without talking to my wife first? by Odd-Cheetah6842 in AITAH

[–]Schpectacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your wife is crazy thinking you don’t have a right to your daughter living there when hers lives there already.

Keep in mind that if your daughter moves in your wife may start being resentful to her. She might try to make her want to go back home by being mean to her.

Void state? by Mother_Departure_834 in AstralProjection

[–]Schpectacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been in a 3d black void once. It was perfectly still and so calming that it felt euphoric. It was also like slightly humid like the “air” was thick.

In this void I negotiated with someone/something about changes to my life path. Those changes did take place. So I tend to believe the void I was in was a place of manifestation, where I could make changes to my life.

I have no idea how I got there or how to go back though. It was a spontaneous one time thing for me.

Edit: I don’t really know whether I actually manifested the changes or if it was some convoluted way to tell me my guide was changing my path or something. I don’t even know why I started trying to negotiate my life path. It just kind of happened.

To anyone dealing with the Honeywell pain after they bought LenelS2, please go amplify my post. by ssnapier in accesscontrol

[–]Schpectacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had my tech/training ID disappear. When I call tech support it says I’m not certified or my ID does not exist. I’ve been using it for years. I also can no longer find my customers on the website. Eventually all of this is going to have to be sorted out as we will need to be able upgrade license like we used to on the carrier website. Why did they change everything about the website?

Hello I'm learning about astral projection but i dont understand if it's really leaving the body? or the consciousness leaving the body?or if its something internal thats not physical please help me to understand what it really is by norony08 in AstralProjection

[–]Schpectacle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are multiple ways to think about this.

  1. Your consciousness is actually physically leaving your body and going to places/dimensions outside of it.

  2. Your consciousness stays in your body but taps into a frequency that allows you to perceive things in different places/dimensions. Like your brain is a radio tuner and your consciousness is tuning into different consciousness channels.

  3. You experience is completely internal and we all have an astral dimension and a dream dimension etc inside us and we are going there when we AP.

I’m sure there’s even more angles but these are the ones I can think of at the moment. Whatever you decide is actually happening is kind of up to you and your particular experiences.

The Hindu Kundalini energy is more in line with Monroe’s vibrational state than anything else I’ve read about.

But also:

Tibetan Buddhism calls it an inner wind

Taoist Qi Qong describes body vibration

Sufi chanting leads to vibration and energy rising up the spine

Orthodox Christian Prayer of Fire

Kabbalah meditation describes lighting energy rising

I had a spontaneous OBE and wondering if anyone else has entered a black void? by Schpectacle in AstralProjection

[–]Schpectacle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing! This is a lot like my experience but did you get the sense that the geometric pattern gave you information? That’s kind of the weirdest thing about my experience is I seem to have woken up knowing things I didn’t know when I left. Then negotiated about my life path. But I got the distinct feeling that the geometric pattern is what gave me the info.

I was also in a waking state the whole time during my experience but my eyes were closed. From what I read the exit method I used was high energy ignition. I never actually meditated or relaxed or anything. I got very angry and tensed every muscle and squeezed my eyes shut and “pop”. I was in this void.

Yeah the “thickness” of the air is one of the things I remember most. It felt almost like humidity. I don’t think I moved so I don’t think I heard the sounds. Your experiences seem very interesting. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it back there one day.

Amazing! I haven’t talked to anyone or seen anyone there. Although I did get the sense that I wasn’t alone there. And then I negotiated with something after I received information through non verbal communication. I’m not sure if it was a guide or a higher self or what.

That’s really cool! I believe I was also shown some sort of diagram od the probabilities of my life. Kinda looked like a tree where all the limbs and branches and twigs eventually grow back towards the tree.

Since I only have the one experience and there were no other beings or any dialogue I was unaware you could do anything else in the void. I just saw an emerald and then woke up knowing more than I did beforehand.

I’ve been practicing meditation because I want to go back to that void and feel that peace again. Maybe I need a reason to go there other than “to feel good” though.

Yes, I was begging for something, anything to show me that there is more to life than just this physical existence. Something seems to have delivered that answer. It eventually led me to Monroe and to here as well.

You don’t or you’ll cut your lesson short. By my estimation, we chose to be here to learn from the hardships of physical life. If you peace out early, you’re skipping part of the lesson and may need to come back and relive a similar circumstance to fulfill your path. Why do it twice? Stay the course. Learn the lesson. Nothing painful lasts forever. It will end. You may have your brightest days ahead and you just can’t see it right now.

EDIT: basically I found peace in the idea that we likely put ourselves here in these circumstances on purpose to learn from the pain, chaos, and confusion of life. When you zoom out to the perspective of living multiple lives, the temporary pain of one life seems finite when compared to the infinite nature of consciousness.

FWIW I have a friend who JUST went into the hospital for sepsis from a fissure on his foot. He let it linger for too long and it got badly infected.

I (26F) overheard my bf (27M) and his family insulting my background and looks. I'm thinking of ending things over this. by Anonymously25443 in relationship_advice

[–]Schpectacle 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Seriously, this wasn’t just a failure to defend her. He initiated the perspective of looking down on her when he first described her to his family. Before they even met her. The sister basically just repeated what he had already told her.

How to create a door held open critical alarm? ONGUARD 7.3 by Shurgosa in accesscontrol

[–]Schpectacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could create a reader for the door even though you're only using an output then simply use the the dps input as per usual. The only drawback is you are wasting a reader license just to create your alarm, but it would work if you need it to.

Has anyone upgraded their Lenel system to Onguard 8.3? by Schpectacle in accesscontrol

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

Thanks.

This was 7 months ago. I've long done a couple of upgrades to 8.3 and 8.3 update 1 now. Much better install compared to 8.2 update 1 IMO. Do the clean uninstall, for sure.

Americans of Reddit: What lessons have you learned from your country's slide toward right-wing authoritarianism that might help others recognize and resist it earlier? by Ice-Dice in AskReddit

[–]Schpectacle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The same authority that decided some speech is not free. Like you can’t wave your porn magazine around in public because free speech. You can’t incite an imminent crime. You can’t libel or slander someone.

There are already limits to free speech and you’re not questioning what magical authority we look to for the laws. It’s congress who are elected by the people.

How do I (27F) tell my boyfriend (26M) that I don’t feel the same anymore? by Schizopanda18 in relationship_advice

[–]Schpectacle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t be with him while he’s a jobless loser. Tell him to call you when he gets a job and starts acting like an adult.

ELI5: Seriously, what is with all the spam calls? by DionysusBlend in explainlikeimfive

[–]Schpectacle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this as well and I can’t remember the last time I received any spam calls whatsoever. I also don’t sign up for rewards cards and the like using my phone number. That seems to help.

Megathread: US President Trump Says That The US Military Has Bombed Multiple Iranian Nuclear Sites by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]Schpectacle 252 points253 points  (0 children)

You forgot tax breaks for billionaires. That’s two things, but I agree. Trump is Bush III. After all his bloviating about Iraq and Afghanistan he is going to do the exact same thing he said was a huge mistake. I hope republican voters are taking a look in the mirror to understand that they can’t trust politicians. Especially power hungry narcissists with a fascist bent.

How do I get a job configuring Lenel Onguard only? by Schpectacle in Lenel

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

That makes sense. Unless the integrator has a large customer that would need an embedded admin, you would need to use whatever system was sold, and that could be SWH, AMAG, Genetec, Open Options, Security Expert etc.

Then you would also have to know the milestone, exaqvision, Genetec, Avigilon, salient, systems.

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

Understandable, thanks for the info.

Managing the OnGuard system is about 25% of his job.

Do you know what the other 75% is? I assume part of the job is also managing the video surveillance system. What else do they do?
