Hi, Venerina,
Welcome back and thanks for a stimulating and thought provoking article.
Those who know me will know the contempt in which I hold the video called 'The Secret'.
This video cheapens and profits from something which deserves much better treatment and much more respect.
While I have serious problems with the law of attraction because I find it very difficult to accept that it was own personal will that killed three of my wi¡ves and two of my children and gave me cancer at age 11 before I could even begin to make coherent abstract views, I can see that, for some people 'something is working along the lines that the law dictates.
Recently I have been exploring my own spirituality and have made some quite interesting discoveries about myself and my relationship to the rest of creation.
The article puts me in mind of Gaia, a complex 'personality' or 'soul' (for want of better terms) from which we all descend and to which, having exhausted the spark of Gaia with which we are granted sentience, we return so that our individual spark can return to the whole and be recharged.
Gaia seems to fulfill all the requirements that 'transpersonal' has - and vice versa. Gaia would also answer very well as the entity I am coming to know as God.
Would you say that the two (Gaia and the transpersonal) are the same or am I off the mark here?
The Old Coot
