[extropy-chat] POLL: Principles of Extropy

>Roberts?

:-)  Well ...

No to the _way_ that their ideas are discovered. I don't think that all
of their ideas are in conflict though. I don't know enough of the ideas
to be an authority on this topic, however. I just have read small
passages at web sites ....

>Are they in agreement or in conflict?

The ideas, or the way that the ideas are acquired? As far-fetched as
the Extropy ideas sound sometimes, the ideas don't include channeling
as a viable way.

Never mind, though.

Every person is a potential teacher, and if you have some good
filters, you can pick up some useful stuff. A couple of decades ago, I
lived for some years with a guy who read alot of the Seth/Jane Roberts
books, and I know that he was not crazy. He was a good filter for me
too.

I'll filter a few quotes for you from my own Extropian perspective
(which could easily be different from another Extropian perspective,
YMMV), if you want.

I think that these are good from Seth/Jane Roberts:

"Therefore, as always, make of this voice what you choose to make of
it. Make of me what you choose to make of me, but recognize within
yourselves the vitality of your being. And look to no man or no idea
or no woman or no dogma, but the vitality of your own being, and trust
it. And that which offends your soul, turn away from, but trust
yourself"

"The self has no boundaries except those it accepts out of ignorance"

"If you are in poor health, you can remedy it. If your personal
relationships are unsatisfactory, you can change them for the better.
If you are in poverty, you can find yourself surrounded by
abundance... Each of you, regardless of position, status,
circumstances, or physical condition, is in control or your own
experience."

"You must learn to listen to the voice of the inner self and work with
it"

"You create your reality according to your beliefs and expectations,
therefore you should examine these carefully. If you do not like some
aspect of your world, then examine your own expectations"
