A fascinating read, Amanda. I'm endlessly curious about past lives (my intuition tells me it's true that we've experienced different incarnations) and our limited perception of time. I'll be checking out your viewing recommendations!
Thanks Lizzie. I think we have too. I think there is so much more to this experience than we realise as we get trapped in the everyday doings. I hope you enjoy the things you watch!
I share your fascination for the history of civilization, and especially the unknown! My wife and I once visited Tulum, an ancient Mayan city right along the cliffs of the Caribbean in Mexico. It was truly amazing and some of the carved stones look like the one you posted here.
Don, while you were in Tulum, did you also visit Chitzen Itza? We fell in love with that region—amidst the jungles of the Yucatan, swimming in the Cenotes. It was also sea turtle egg laying season and I had the privilege of sitting next to a Turtle laying her eggs in the predawn hours. Years later, I swam among them off the coast of Maui.
Wow, Kert, that sounds awesome. No, we elected, not to go inland, except as far as the closest sonata, which was amazing! I very much want to see Chichen Itza.
I have seen giant sea turtles ascending the beach in Saint Croix. Also in the middle of the night! 😀
The realization that everything we say and believe to be true is merely a perception has been a profoundly liberating experience for me as well. It's like shedding the weight of absolute certainty, allowing me to embrace the fluidity of knowledge and understanding. I have come to see that our perceptions are shaped by our individual experiences, biases, and cultural conditioning, making them subjective and context-dependent. This means that what I consider true may not be the same for someone else, and that's ok.
This understanding has freed me from the need to be right, to defend my beliefs, and to convince others of my perspective. I can now approach conversations with curiosity and openness, acknowledging that there are multiple truths and that mine is just one of them. It's a relief to recognize that I don't have to have all the answers and that it's ok to say "I don't know." I have let go of judgment towards myself and others. This has foster sense of empathy, compassion and understanding, enabling me to connect with others on a deeper level.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Yolanda. And yes, being able to say “I don’t know” is a huge part of it too. It means I learn a lot more as well as being more understanding of my own and others fallibilities. 💙
I’ve bookmarked it! I like Bradon’s work. Did I tell you I attended an in-person lecture a couple months ago from Dr. Bruce Lipton? I know you love his work too. That man, even at his age, spoke energetically for over two hours without a break—he allowed his audience to get up and move as we needed, but rarely did anyone leave their seats.
This is an interesting read, Amanda! It's so true that by keeping an open mind, we invite more empathy and compassion into our lives. Your reflections makes me think that life isn't about having all the answers but about marveling at the questions.
This article has filled up my to-do list! Lots of things to explore in more depth. The possibility that advanced civilizations have existed before ours has the potential to change the shape of the world.
Hi! Thanks for reading and I’m so happy to hear it resonated with you. I love exploring in these ways too and there’s lots more to come!
Likewise 😊

Pondering on the unknowable is one of my favourite pastimes!

You’re both making my feet itch to go there! It sounds amazing.
“Sonata” was supposed to be cenoté. There are crystal clear underground springs that you can swim in.
Lovely. I shall have to make do with the crystal clear turquoise sea of Greece when I go there in 3 weeks!
Oh that’s going to be incredible. I’ve always wanted to go there!
Thank you, Amanda for an amazing read. ❤️

Time, timelessness, evolution, place, culture, the Now. Dang sista! Everything resonates!
Of course it does, bro! 😂 You should watch Missing Links on Gaia as it is fascinating and mind opening.

Ah I’d love to see Bruce in real life. He’s brilliant.

Thanks Mo. Glad you enjoyed it. Letting go of the need for answers has been a big part of my journey. Embrace the mystery is my new motto!

They’re such interesting ideas and the evidence they present is very credible!
