What is the journey?

There is no beginning, there is no end,

There is only change.

There is no teacher, there is no student,

There is only remembering. 

There is no good, there is no evil,

There is only expression.

There is no union, there is no sharing,

There is only one.

There is no joy, there is no sadness,

There is only love.

There is no greater, there is no lesser,

There is only balance.

There is no stasis, there is no entropy,

There is only motion.

There is no wakefulness, there is no sleep,

There is only being.

There is no limit, there is no chance,

There is only a plan.

~The Ultimate Journey, Robert A. Monroe (p. 217)

Tammie, I highly recommend you check out Robert Monroe's book. Share your views about it too.

Hi Liara .. thanks for another suggestion - I've added Robert's book .. that's an amazing way of setting out our journey .. and giving both sides of the story .. the negative and positive .. and the balance ..

Glad you've written this post -

Hi Liara,
I love the word journey, and what it signifies about life. So, thank you for sharing this here. These words are ringing true...and striking a chord. Especially, the idea of "there is only love"... A part of that journey I've been thinking much about recently...

Hi Tammie! Thank you so much for sharing this, what a nice way to start my morning! I just wanted to let folks know that you can learn more about Robert Monroe and his non-profit research organization, The Monroe Institute at http://www.monroeinstitute.org. The Monroe Institute offers week-long retreats to explore the possibility that we are more than our physical bodies through the use of binaural beat sound technology, guided relaxation, and good group energy, it really is an experience. It's nice to see Bob's words out there in the web world, thank you again for sharing this!

Wow doesn't this say so much, so beautifully about life, about us ...

Thanks Liara, I will too try to check out the book. And stumbling this :)

Hilary, one perspective is to only ever choose to view everything as in perfect balance. One receives constant messages about the state of reality. You choose what to incorporate into your own. You change what you will.

Lance, you shape every stage of your own journey. You shift consciousness where you are willing to expand and build on certain perceptions. Robert Monroe brought to his own conscious awareness what many people are experiencing yet have not yet come to fully accept. One can live vicariously through others and one can also step back to re-think who and what you are right now.

Amelia, it is wonderful to have you participate in this dialogue. Human beings are awakening on more levels than they realize. Robert Monroe's pioneering work sets the stage for many people to find courage to choose to come to expand into new realms of reality. His legacy of books and the institute are tools available to all.

Evita, glad you appreciate the concepts presented here. As they resonate with you, I also encourage you to sign up to learn more about the forthcoming Harness the Energy of Your Dreams Book. This explores OBEs, astral, lucid and other related experiences, and is full of exercises as well.
