One idea is that aliens passed down higher knowledge to humanity, which was mostly lost long ago. Maybe they were not aliens but more evolved species from earth which later left for higher purposes. It seems foreign to a normal man to be able to accurately sense a truth of the soul, the vital force, or how it all works in the big picture. I think humans right now are generally numb and crazy. I don’t mean that as an insult, and I wish I could help. Likewise I’m pretty numb and crazy myself. This means spiritual truth is very hard to get for me. I have to trust the ancients, for probably my whole life.
It’s a matter of introspection, IMHO. The ancients looked inside themselves for answers to questions about life; we moderns have forgotten how to do that. We cannot seem to understand that the spiritual truths are within us. And few among us will undergo the necessary self-examinations that get to spiritual truths.
I agree ier…the spiritual truths are within us…we are having trouble reexamining in the light of present day life with all its changes in technology…as Einstein said-----our technology has advanced more than our humanity…
“Another vague, pretentious phrase used to impress shallow tools into thinking they possess some sort of a special insight” – Artist of bullshit (officially known as a spiritual person). So deep man.

Beside myself? In a literal, physical sense or in an emotional sense?

there shouldn’t be any question…it is you…where are you coming from with this anger…
Well, it is good to clarify things, but why would the little reptile (turtle) even care who it was you were standing/sitting beside at this moment?
You would describe it “in an emotional sense”? Couldn’t we be closest to someone whom we love without it being an “emotional” experience though usually it is when we take the time to let it flow through us.
Great, we’ve started defining things, we may even get somewhere in a Religion and Spirituality subforum! That would surely be a pleasant surprise.
Now if you could please define “deeper”(as I’m sure you don’t mean physically deeper) and “spiritual” (as many people use many different definitions I just want to be sure we’re on the same page).
