How to Merge Magic, Myth and Reality
68I was thinking of the Tower of Babel and the reason in the Bible why there are so many languages today. I think the reason God created many languages is for the people to appreciate contrasts. If I were to envision a conceited God, I would say He created the different languages so that He can be serenaded in different languages. But I can not comprehend the mind of God so I will not go there.
At any rate I can not imagine a conceited God.
When two people can communicate without the use of language, we enter into the realm of magic and myth, and yet, it is entirely possible. It is real. Studies of twins separated at birth have documented this.
In the world of myth and magic, the unseen, a soul is born with a twin, hence the term “Soul Mate”. I take this to mean a soul separated from its twin at birth. There are many movies about this.
It is possible for two people to communicate with each other without the filter of the ego. When this happens that communication becomes a dance. It is beautiful but it is also scary, in the sense that there is no place to hide. One is totally exposed, vulnerable, naked, no room for hypocrisy.
This is the kind of communication between a guru and a disciple, when the student is ready to be totally exposed, vulnerable. The paradox is that this is the exact state in which the guru is also able to transmit the best. The student, by accepting himself, as he is, unmasked, totally naked, can now realize that he and the guru are the same. The separation is only in his mind.
But what if the relationship is not between a guru and a student, in the formal sense? This is where it gets tricky. One who is able to read another’s thought is so very tempted to do it all the time, with everybody. An ego enhancement tool . It is one of the six yogic powers that come when the mind is quieted [See the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali]
We all have these thoughts that we do not want to share with others. They are too private, shameful to have or entertain since they are so “off” the spiritual path. So we think. Thinking is the ego's tool to take us away from the present, the dharma experienced as tantra.
It takes discipline not to invade someone’s thoughts without his or her permission and hence all of the sages warn about it. Like a drug, it can intoxicate and when one indulges in it, the person now becomes a drunken monkey.
On the other hand, if it is between two people who wish to do it, voluntarily, then it becomes a beautiful dance. No ego involved, a free flow, freedom instead of a cage.
This kind of communication exists between a parent and a child. They are in tune with each other.
In the romantic sense, when one is fortunate to find that person who is his/her twin flame, and both are willing to be vulnerable, the meeting of two minds merge myth, magic, and reality. No need for words.
What do you have to do when you find this person? Be fearless. The paradox is that when you are most vulnerable, you are also the strongest. Why? Because the soul that was split has now become whole and you will know it beyond the shadow of a doubt.

The merging of two minds has to be mutual. Spock can do this with mind meld when necessary but this also means he has to suffer the pains of the other person when he does it. Cause and effect.
When two people agree that it is alright, then the boundaries are set. There is no fear because both know that this "merging" comes from a place of unconditional love. The requirement being "unconditional"
I can tell when my son has some concerns, very simply by the way he breathes. I have to determine whether I should ask about it or not. Sometimes I do and sometimes I let it go until he tells me, even if I already know.
There is no boundaries between two minds or even the whole consciousness. I remembered Dr Deepak Chopra spoken about this in his Synchro Destiny. Two people who are deeply bonded usually experience this. Mediatators are the good examples, when their minds reach certain level, alpha and theta. Scientists could detect their brain spikes when communications are happening.
Oh what I meant by boundaries is if you are in Australia for example and I am here in Louisiana, if I try to communicate with you while you are sleeping it will wake you up.
I agree otherwise
To love in the whole is love everything, the totality. Thats the unconditional love. That starts within you.
Thanks Melinda :*
Thank you Rui. We get there without trying when we see how the ego filters everything.
On the nonlocal domain or also known as the infinite possibilites or infinite intelligence, space and time just doesn't exist. Here on earth with experience the illusion of space and time because we merely see those differences due to the narrow perception that we have towards the reality that we have created.
Nonlocal intelligence is everywhere all at once and can cause multiple effect simultaneously in various locations. It is from this virtual domain that everything in the world is organized and synchronized.
Scientists have also proposed a level of existence known as Minkowski's eight dimensional hyperspace in which this mathematically conceived dimension, the distance between two events, non matter how separate they appear to be in space-time is always zero. This once again suggests that a dimenstion of existence where we are all inseparably one. Separation is just merely an illusion. For that, when we feel love in any form, it has the effect of beginning to shatter that illusion.
Some people do experience strong connection even without meditation such as twins or between a child and the parents. It also happens between a pet and his owner.
Oh so true!! Bravo!! Thank you!!
Speaking of parents and children yes, definitely.
Speaking of pets and owners, absolutely ..When the dogs look at me, they can tell me if they are thirsty or hungry or want to go the bathroom. I find it sooo amazing!!
That is so deep msorensson. I am yet to experience that level of communication with an adult, and somehow intrinsically, I know that I can attain that. I as most mothers experience that with their babies, as you pointed out. Just to emphasize, until my children were about 2 years, I would wake as soon as they turn in the next room, even before the days of motion/sound monitors. I always marvel at that because I'm a sound sleeper.
Very interesting hub. Thanks for inspiring such spiritual thoughts.
Thank you, DynamicS
The mothers are so in tune with their children since they have been communicating with each other, forging the sacred contracts long before the egg is fertilized.
Today, yours and my lesson [I am smiling] is that we simply let go.
When you have that connection with someone, it is, by experience, scary, to have someone so in tune with you there is no where to go and nothing to hide. But you will know it.
One caveat. When you find this person and he is not ready to admit to such a connection, or forge a mutual agreement, let it be. While you can will that the person understands you and work with you [because of the promise of the most perfect communication between two human beings], we cannot force it. The resistance itself, created by the ego, will sever it.
So take it as a dance. One time one person leads and the other follows, then take turns. This is very difficult to do, but please do remember when you meet him.
Thanks msorensson. My question is what can I do to achieve that state of communication with my partner? Does he have to be mentally in the same space/awareness? If he is not, how can I get him to that awareness?
Wonderful question. The answer is leave a space in which you can understand what he is going through wihout injecting your own ego based needs and wants. Detachment. Not detachment from the person but detachment from "demanding" that he understands you and attends to your needs and wants at the moment. Next time you are getting angry and frustrated while communicating with him or anyone, observe that person and simply appreciate that person for who he is. You will find, magically, that all of your unmet demands are within, not with the other person.
Try this and please do let me know what happens inside of you.
I will email you my email address privately.
Before I go, the very fact that you are asking this means you are already there. You simply had to clarify it and that is why you asked me
msorensson, thanks for your kind response. I look forward to put into practice your suggestion of appreciating without judgment. This will be a challenge for me due to previous communication mode, but I'm willing to make the effort.
I look forward also to speak to you vis e-mail.
God bless...
That is it. Just the effort is the way. Just like meditation. :-)
Hi msorensson!
Wow amazing!
"In the romantic sense, when one is fortunate to find that person who is his/her twin flame, and both are willing to be vulnerable, the meeting of two minds merge myth, magic, and reality. No need for words."
Yes, we will keep it at that so I do not give out confidences [smiles]
Thank you.
Really enjoyed this hub! Wonderful to see an excellent spiritual teacher talking out loud about these things.
I know what you mean about this level of communication and what is astounding is how many people you run into in person or on an always present in the Now level with whom you and they are immediately simpatico. It's quite a gift from God.
As to the responsibility of reading others' minds my fail-safe that always works is that I leave it up to Holy Spirit to filter everything and everyone who comes into my life. That way I don't overstep any boundaries and nor can they "sin" thoughtlessly either. It's about trusting God completely to do the right thing at all times for us and choosing to apply your will to cooperate with God's choices.
Because it is true that the more you cultivate the presence of God, the more you absorb a lot of spiritual energy as a lagniappe. People are drawn to that spiritual energy and don't always respond appropriately to it as they have not been prepared or studied to handle it easily. Then I figure it's my responsibility to do nothing until either God does something or moves me to do it.
Either way it is complete trust. Spiritual energy is powerful and requires tremendous discipline to partner properly with it. And then, the more you partner with it, God starts adding more and the process of learning how to cooperate with the new energy starts the upward spiral all over again! Life is fun with God! :) Never a dull moment...
Oh, Denny, this is so true. When people are not yet ready to receive, it does not matter what one does to make them get it.
Thank you!!
We have a proverb in China: When two are in love with each other, they are of one mind.
And that is truth, Guhy. Thank you.
God created languages? Which one, when and how? I find a great way to communicate is through music and the arts in general!
Music and the Arts in general fall into the general category of Aesthetics, governed by harmonics and indeed it is a way of communicating between beings.
The answer to your question. I do not know when God created languages and which ones. I suppose all of them, through man, to allow human beings to communicate with
each other.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. Much appreciated.

Language tends to affect your picture of reality and that creates the language. This is nothing as crude as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis but more matter of subtle connotations "Amour" and Latin "Amor" both translate as love but in the original language mean sonething slightly different from the Englsh translation.
The Psychic powers that come when the mind is quieted should be used responsibly. There is, I feel no harm in using them for entertainment, providing non one is harmed, or as a last resort for survival. As you say though when the ego is involved things tend to turn sour, and power, whatever the origin, becomes a drug.
The merging of minds in complete trust is rare but you describe it well
