Asking creates a beacon?

[HowToBe]

A thought came to me a bit ago, that maybe to STO beings and those seeking STO, the honest asking of a question has a beacon-like effect.

I was surfing videos on youtube about a topic that interests me, when I noticed a couple of comments on a video showing a theoretical mathematical trick involving turning a sphere inside out. Some people were saying it was stupid/useless/Was false/didn't make sense, some were some were expressing their amazement at it (some of whom understood and some didn't), and a few were asking what appeared to be genuine questions about the video. I then moved on to a second video, which was actually the full, long version of the first video. I noticed that in the full video there seemed to be fewer pathological-type comments, possibly because the video was longer, and it contained the full explanation that the other video lacked. In any case, There was one comment asking a question that really stood out to me; they expressed their appreciation of the video, as well as their confusion at it, and asked in a clearly-phrased manner why the subject matter of the video mattered. So, I attempted to answer the question.

But what struck me was the way this person's comment stood out compared to the others, as if in sharp relief. I reason that this is in combination because of my desire to be of service, to try to give when asked, and my desire to conserve my energy for where it will be useful. Both of these intentions lead me to work and try to pay attention to the real nature of communications I encounter, and this seemingly results in the gradual development of a sort of "radar" for "askings". The needs and desires of others become visible, and the different "flavors" of asking are like different colored "beams" that can be detected by those who build their sensitivity? So, it would follow that the further one progresses toward STO, the stronger this ability becomes?

So, to explore this analogy, as a person's "esoteric sight" improves, the "beacons" around them begin to become clearer and brighter. At first, because a person's 'vision' is quite dim and distorted, so they will probably only see the closest, brightest (ie. most obvious) "beacons", and only those of the "colors" that that person has learned to recognize. Getting really abstract, and relating the "color" analogy to frequency, maybe a person's ability to see the different "colors" rises along with the "color" of one's own "sight frequency" (related to FRV?)

For a bit of personal context, I used to have a very strong "white knight" bent when it came to bashing, ignorant, and insulting comments (what I now recognize to be largely caused by people's pathological factors). I've gradually realized that I simply can't be "internet fairness police", and that a lot of my impulse to make corrective, "informative" comments like that was self importance combined with an unrealistic view of the situations I was seeing, so I've cut back on a lot of commenting, and I'm still working to eliminate that program.

And as a final, humorous note, each time I read the first sentence of this post, my brain keeps reflexively reading it as "...the honest asking of a question has a bacon-like effect." Hmm, I wonder if this is also true? Work on HowToBe continues...

Interesting - I have also thought about this idea that asking or even paying attention to something creates a beacon that flashes & attracts all sorts of things, eager to feed or be fed.

Me too . Nevertheless, an interesting catch.

feeling hungry...

Edit:
Bought some italian salami, jummy :)
Watched the video anew... seems like 4d to me ... even more interesting...

Good point, maybe it works both ways. However, STS sees what it wants to see, which may tend to block the honest seeker's "signal" from their view?

Yes, I didn't think to comment on that aspect, but I noticed that as well.

I would also like to note, for the record, that I painted an overly pretty picture of myself in my previous post in the third paragraph. My "desire to be of service, to try to give when asked, and my desire to conserve my energy for where it will be useful" is by no means rock solid, and I waver a lot. Trying to deny my predator mind some food. ;)

HowToBe, personally, I think that because you have some honesty and straightforwardness in you, you recognized it in another and a gap was bridged empathically and quite automatically so-to-speak. Which is a good thing in my view. Of course that doesn't have to negate anything you described because you also included a recognition of 'honest' in your posts. :)

 

[HowToBe]

That makes sense as well, and requires far fewer words. Thank you for your input. :)

One thing I DO believe now, I avoid creating any psychic or emotional GARBAGE to attract 3d or 4d rats.
I also pay more attention to how I treat others. Causing trauma in others, inciting rage, encouraging bias and unforgiveness, all such things must lead to negative trash in other's (auras???) which is going to attract beings who love to feed off it.

Right??? :/

HowToBe, thanks for posting this video (if only indirectly). It was a great help to me.

video? I didn't see a video link . . . ?

 

[obyvatel]

Video links are in the first post of this thread. The texts "video" and "second video" are hyperlinks pointing to youtube videos.

Well maybe you have discovered something there, it did seem to have a bacon like effect here, in that I misread the title of the post as "Asking creates a bacon?", which of course is gonna be the first post you read with breakfast!

The idea that asking, or 'open asking' without expectation attracts would seem to fit with the model of Laura's experience in contacting the Cs. The key there is that the asking has to be non anticipatory, otherwise it drifts into demanding. Or on a personal level sometimes our asking can be loaded with all sorts of programs running in the background, either as attack or defense mechanisms. Also worth remembering that Laura was asking in such a way for a long time.

So I don't really know how it works, but on the level of life and life experiences/lessons, perhaps we can say that the way we live, the total of what we are is a kind of 'asking'. To which the Universe responds with whatever lessons fit best next. There's the idea that 'when the student is ready the teacher will appear' which would seem to fit with that. Its not necessarily that one sends out specific messages or questions, perhaps it is enough to have a desire to know but without having properly formulated the right questions to ask.

I think it is not JUST a matter of asking, but that the question has to be a "burning" one.

Wonderful videos, thanks for sharing! :)

Yes, and a burning question is like a bright beacon of light going out!
On the other hand, one should not burn the bacon!

I've had this idea for a while that life is a conversation with the Creation/Universe. The things we do, or maybe only the things we Do, consciously, form our side of the conversation while all the things that we experience from "outside" form the other side of the conversation. The Universe will always respond with whatever is appropriate as a balance to our actions. The function or goal, of course, is learning. The individual has the choice of whether to embrace the learning process or to deny it.

Just a theory. OSIT. :)
