General guidelines: - Read 10 pages of the book "The Rainbow Bridge" each week. - Share at least 1 comment (thoughts, feelings, questions, ideas etc.) with the rest of the group each week, via this forum. - Keep the discussion on or related to the subject matter of the book.

I'm struggling somewhat to understand the diagram on page 44, but the correlation of duration and the eternal now (they are correlating them right?) on page 43 really is helping me understand more about duration. The idea of "your moving present" on pg46 helped for me too. Tindia I like your thought about truth in paradox. It created an image in my mind of a way to Penetrate through the The core essence of duality to what lies beyond/before. David Im grateful for what you related about how striving to Service can invoke a beneficial rearrangement of karma. Karin 9 people said they wanted to be a part of this study group, I'm not sure where the others are. I really appreciated these 10 pages and am enjoying studying with you all.

Hello hi everyone –
There are so many rich ideas in these 10 pages but I can hardly figure out where to start. I wonder if the times that I have read this book and each time fine that I seem like a new person reading it for the first time . It seems as though these are living thoughts and feelings of energy that lie in what seems like highly energized pools somewhere in the inner world I love the notion that Blavatsky presents regarding duration. The permanent Adam consult is one that is really more explicitly dealt with in the Powells book on permanent albums in the astral mental bodies . On page 43 the idea of the direction is used and is able to identify the present and that we usually have no doubt about continue to be immediate future as well as a recognition of a past. However the future is defined as being in the U-turn on now which is in fact eat ternal to ration at the very top of the chart on page 44.
The footnote on page 43 Time is only an illusion produced by the succession of our states of consciousness as we travel through Eternal Duration, and it does not exist where no consciousness exists in which the The illusions can be produced but lies asleep. From the Secret doctrine.Doctrine. I am fascinated by this idea that from a certain state of consciousness there are potentials that remain encased in the permanent Adams or lie dormant as a sweet as old language would put it.. I can only imagine that this state is one that can come from the intuitive world . This type of thinking is referred to in the yoga sutras of Patanjali. What I was struck with when looking at the diagram on page 44, is that duration followed by a division of logo which directio what I was struck with when looking at the diagram on page 44, is that duration followed by a division of Logoic Duration seemed possible to make a parallel between the binary zero, one imagery. The zero is the space in which the initial restlessness of shiva -shakti is descry from within the Unmanifest. This would be the zero. It's action would initiate the Oneness as 1. This representing the Manifest. From these to the entire action of spirit matter and consciousness emerges. Hence we have a world in which ultimately the ego is or personality is existing in an apparent duality. Hence Lazarus speaks of positive and negative ego choices, while some anxious and teachings speak of the Individual. This is in fact the one state of soul. The personal ego has apparent choices. This might explain why the phrase in the Soul Mantram is used "I am Fixed Design"-- indicating the Individual Self of the reiterating Soul.?? I have a hunch that this statement in diagram six page 44, the president is only a mathematical line which divides that part of eternal duration which we call the future from that part which we call past .... These 2 Eternities constitute that duration in which alone anything has true existence , were our senses but able to cognie it . This seems like both subtle but direct instruction in magical work. And it provides 04 learning to understand ever progressively to see the ultimately simple in the apparently complex.
Thank all of you for sharing. It is our energy fields that are working together on these thoughts that are building greater understanding's for all of us Area Regarding where is every body, as so many say it is not the numbers but the quality and the one pointed fierceness in what we are attempting to do that will bring about the bringing through Of those energies into these deep and heavy your world where we find ourselves in the experience of humans. With affinity called Love, David Ps, this seems like such riches that in a singular moment I am confounded and released from blindness into bright Light. I guess not so unlike Plato's cave.?.

I too am struggling with the diagram on page 44. I reread this part replacing the word duration with eternal now . Perhaps I did myself a disservice by doing that, but it felt a bit more clear. Although the depth of understanding still eludes me. Also does anyone know on the Duration Chart what the L and M stands for??? Katz, "I am Fixed Design"-- indicating the Individual Self of the reiterating Soul. I think you are on to something. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts. Theresa
