Though, while reading his previous life experiences, the following question emerged again:
How can one tell the difference between the previous life of their own and the lives of others? In my opinion, one's soul is not continous from one lifetime to another, as it splits, it merges and seems more like a soup to me. Also, I think one can experience the lives of others in the present time as well (he also mentioned that).

Lol @ juicy. Lilou's Juicy Living show features this word a lot and sister has been showing episodes of it for the last few days or so. The last one ended with a cool spiritual song.
It seems that this man is a good empath and telepath.

Yeah, I didn't want to currupt his message with my own words, but these are my thoughts exactly. If you apply what I call Hyper-Empathy, or the Tibetan Buddhist, concept of compassion to anything; you will discover that you are that thing. Also, this sounds the same as the Samyama technique of Patanjali. If all phenomenal reality truly springs from the mind, then cultivating empathy can be represented by the term, "No Thyself".
Of course, as he says in the video, conceptual understanding is cotton candy, comparred with actual experience:)

thought it was funny that he sort of brought up the audience's not clapping xD
back when i went to catholic church with my mom and siblings it was considered inappropriate to clap after a sermon or something like that. i think they sort of came at it from an angle of, truth is true whether it's applauded or not.
i really liked the sincerity most of those catholic practices brought out of its followers. everything seemed to just be what it was back then, lol
I wanted to share video that Treasure Hunter discovered on youtube. I can say from my own experience so far that this man is speaking some solid & deep truths, & I feel very inspired about the path I'm on:)

There is no failure only feedback. Failure is when you stop trying.
From the way Gopi described his experiences, I am still in the unstable stage but much more stable than when I 1st opened the Bindu & Guru chakras. There are days when I am in constant mind blowing bliss. There are times when I have a sort of omniscient awareness, & I know the thoughts & feelings of a 100 people at a time. As he says in the video, at these times I see quite clearly that everything even the things which seem inanimate, are alive; they feel like my body.
I must admit though that I am sometimes afraid to fully commit, for many different reasons. I am no longer afraid for my physical safety, as my body has adjusted well to the increasing energies. I have though noticed changes in my priorities; I don't spend as much time with my girlfriend, even though I love her. I don't care as much about art as I used to. The shift in priorities doesn't upset me, but I do sometimes wonder if I may end up going further than I had imagined.
Watching these videos, I am inspired that the process to him 13-14 years, which coincidently is the same amount of time Taoist classics mention. So, perhaps that time frame is an important adjustment period:)

Thank you, Rich generously provided some of the pieces of the puzzle that has puzzled me for I don't know how long.
=D I usually felt embarrassed for using "I" for so many times in my blog. But at the same time, I don't have a clue how to write it otherwise and it takes an awful lot of time to optimize it for a minimal amount of "I"-s and "me"-s (so I no longer bother).
This blog has become quite intertwined with my ego and about 95% of my thoughts are on how to write one thing or another so that it would be more accurate and more correct in English.
School is another great way to drown in infinite amount of tasks and problems. After that, there's work and I could use that suit again. It seriously needs some washing so that it would look better.. =D
