Release the grasp, to being truly found in already Embrace

From a conversation on one of Jon Rappoport's blog posts

... I'm not seeking a grasp so much as to release it to being truly found in already Embrace - but I also see that a willingness to articulate a reflection to the the heart's intuitive wordless knowing can serve the recognition in others as I simply listen 'with everyone else listening'. Shared purpose is shared Mind. Being moved is not passive - so much as true receptive - from which the active rises and embodies. The disconnected sense of 'active' is already emasculated - hence the hard armouring and 'proof' of power seeking validation in denials OF the receptive. This is in fact passive - because it knows not what it does while passively surrendered to - indeed possessed by - a fearfully defined sense of power.

But truth rests in power and that is why it cannot be used as a weapon without turning upon the wielder. Forgiveness of a true Self acceptance can replace the sword. Perhaps that's a summary of what I just wrote below - but came back to write the prequel! (Non linear editing!)


To interest such as there may be I write in the themes being opened here - not just as personal response - though I appreciate sharing in a willingness to feel ideas rather than use them for combat!


Whatever is - however knowing or beholding to be - is as it is. The mind can encode 'is', within a framework of meanings that then come 'between' as individual amidst infinite perspective. So was and maybe, or even shall be, arise within 'Always' as if Always is fragmented to time out of mind - and 'mind how you go!' - or lose awareness to a splitting image of a compulsive inversion of freedom in the idea of opposition.

The undoing, recognition or resolving of all things back to source is their freedom to reflect source rather than mind - for mind no longer 'splits' or comes between. It never did or could but the desire to serve experience calls it forth.

My experience arises the meanings I give and accept - ah! but now is an "I" of the infinite - presumed and experienced in finite terms simultaneously! I don't doubt the beauty of Existence is appreciable via number, geometry, music and vibrational qualities of resonance, but that Existence Itself is unspeakable - and its qualities may animate living imagery yet are not rendered or defined in image apart from the animating desire.

To write this I am paused and aligned here and there to write an embodiment of balanced willingness for recognition and rest in the fact of existence - prior to any mental assertion of non-existence or any idea of beauty or ugliness. Not for my person among persons - but as a witness in which to reflect without distortion.

The 'how' of and the 'why' or 'what for', subside as movements of mind in question, to abide in the heart of knowing the very thing in its moment of opening to ask.

Then in a sense , together as one, heart and mind embody a harmonic of a unified purpose and the 'interference patterning' of denial and forgetting is no longer tuned to.

To explain anything in terms of something 'else' is to redistribute 'meanings' that are tributaries of the idea of creating something 'else'; something unlike and different from Infinitely Always and Exactly Is. Thus we seem to become something 'else' and to have all things serve and reflect an OTHER meaning - and cascade of derivative meanings.

The loss of Identity for a shifting image amidst the ever changing has a traumatic and tragic underside - whenever the absurdity of such notion is lost to the acceptance and embodiment of self-serious hate - for so is judgement however it arises to cover a deeper integrity of acceptance.

Who runs off with what? But there's no taking away of the chosen experience while it is given a negative identity from which a mind unlike source nature unfolds in compulsion to survive or overcome a dictate it does not recognize its own.

Trapped by the attempt to escape a falsely framed experience - but which nonetheless truly affords Experience that is chosen and - in time and timing - embraced, re-cognized and re-membered and in a sense yes - decoded or translated 'back' into its original.

This is anything but a call for stasis or regression. Creation is by Nature an extension or gift - "Behold I make all things new".  But to a grasping identity in image and form this is no gift but a curse to escape or shut down into a private mind of exclusive dictate!

What we dedicate, or use the gift for is not only 'our reward' it is our sharing on. To share the gift of refusal to receive and embrace - for the sake of a private 'creator' - is to give true power to the idea of creating isolation and dissociation in dissonance - within an illusion of power. But with all of the power we give it.

The idea of illusion may suggest something without substance that one can ignore. But the force of desire and intent given the illusion of self-segregation is perhaps likened to a 'Big Bang' or indeed an 'Expulsion from and loss of Paradise; of Communioned being'. The 'Fall'' posits a narrative of guilt feared and projected away. The Grand Project. The 'Bang' posits impersonal objective distance of 'billions of years' in place of Creative Existence and effectively air-brushes Consciousness from the scene.

But Consciousness - in its original quality is the All, is the being of any and all within All. But a mutually agreed redefinition of consciousness into terms of the personality structure of belief, emotion and act, sets a control boundary on what is acceptable as 'me' that likewise redefines the 'shadow' of denied self - and seems to 'exist' in opposition to it - and therefore in opposition to the restoring or healing to wholeness of being.

The art of 'living in both worlds' at once comes from yielding the control mentality idea to the Consciousness Being. Which is surrendering only to true - instead of attempting to determine and assert power from an out-of-true perspective.  So first is the release of what seems or seemed to an open willingness or receptivity - within the movement of the natural desire - or in willingness to reconnect to awareness of the rising of true desire - which is simply what you recognize to be aligned with who you feel and know yourself to be - rather than who you are told or have told yourself you should be - and may be characterised by a quality of connected joy that may or may not associate with that term - but is a truly Felt Quality of Being rather than a private think. Then whatever you are doing, you are living from who you are and your presence gifts the world. Whether others pick up on that is a matter of resonance - but you will meet a different 'world' through presence than the world of mis-timings and mis-alignments that are forever seeming promising and disappointing until wearying the game of the candle.

Thinking Alone?

"We are Alone!" said one to another

#1

Thinking alone - is a choice not to join with. But such thoughts still share and join with everything of a like frequency - generating experience of a world of isolated combatants in a world of separate 'things'. 'A lead role in a cage'. If that is where you current desire is - then that's where you defend - but if you ever question where your thoughts  are coming from and whether they speak for who you really are - then there is always another way to look at the Life that is all that is here - regardless how you look on it. I don't have that sense of Life as boring 'oneness' because Its experience of Itself is Infinite.

The richness, complexity and depth of feeling in being alive and awake has nothing to do with boring - and oneness is very much misused by private lonely thinking to escape 'negativity' which is nothing to to with a unified sense of who you feel and know yourself to be in any and every moment.

The direction I attempt to illuminate, is of escaping from a false imprisonment. Thoughts are within what Mind is - not outside or apart from it. But it is possible to BELIEVE thought to be separated off and different - and run with it and make a self on it - which HAS to defend itself from What Is - while locked into its exclusivity.

I'm not suggesting a wrongness or sin in choosing to think in secret - but that a real choice has to be aware of what the choice is between to BE a choice. The sense of self that protects its power to deny, withhold and segregate does not allow awareness of anything that exposes its true relationship.

This is what we are making a world of; denial, suppression and a lonely sense of 'power'. It is a complex mind-trap that has terror and rage in its imprint - but which is healed in laughter. But the laughter is a gift of true perspective.

Life is already a gift. The meanings we give to it are the thoughts and beliefs we choose to accept. But until we wake up to our true response-ability - we run on the meanings that are imprinted and conditioned - as if they are fixed, locked in and unquestionable.

I'm not trying to change your or anyone's mind - but reflecting within the dream that you Are Mind  in act of focus - and that - at that level you have freedom and perspective to transform your experience and relationship with Everything - and it is challenging, exciting and enlivening. It is your life - and your gift to live it that automatically shares - or creates a different world. But of course if you take the words at the surface form and try to fit them into the caged mind - it will turn out to be meaningless bullshit like everything else in a meaningless mindset.

How can you use the term 'we' as alone?
Nothing is alone, but the wish to experience an independent capacity of self-experiencing can run as the belief it is.
Location is a variable within the total idea of what something is - therefore changing the location is a change of focus - not a result of a 'moving' object.

The physical mind translates everything (translatable) into linear space time terms of experience. That's its function. But the non physical is not translatable. Everything in physical mind can serve the alignment and integration of that mind in 'Mind' or it can be used to serve a segregative sense of self with its disconnected and isolated sense of itself and the struggle for power that is its origin and nature - but not a true foundation.

Opening to Non Local Consciousness can and often does feel like a violation to the segregated self sense. This will rebalance where balance is sought.

Wherever a breakthrough of true relational Consciousness occurs, the segregative movement operates to cover, subvert, divert and redefine.

It is simply up to you to accept the meaning you give it - because it has no meaning in and of itself until your definition identifies meaning for you.

Everything - the Universe within and without, witnesses to the meaning you accept for yourself. A separate disconnected mind meets a world of separate disconnected things. I don't imply mere concept meanings painted over, but the template of consciousness by which meanings are felt, experienced and evolved and unfolded.

Unconditional Acceptance

Grey said:  

Interesting words…but is God’s love truly unconditional? Not according to scripture. There are things that our Creator expects from us, the “Thou shall not” list found in the ten commandments. How many bodies can one leave behind and still be forgiven by our Creator? Unconditional love? I don’t think so, unless our understanding (ancient Hebrews; Abraham) of Him is totally wrong.

There are many ways I can respond to that. But perhaps I will use Trauma and Healing to illustrate a point. Humanity experienced catastrophic trauma – a result of which was a sense of in some way having brought wrath or evil upon themselves – whatever way their minds went with it, the result is a deep Imprinting of Terror and Rage that conditioned our minds in such a sense of reality. The persona or tribe that seeks to survive and prevail – the survivors of Trauma who feel Chosen – are not open to the Idea of God as love – but to an Idea of Power that destroys and yet CAN save – if – you don’t step out of line.

While the individual imprint is evident in anyone’s experience of traumatic events as the splitting off of a fragment of thought in attempt to escape intolerable stress, the collective response carries the social organisations of giving rage power to use terror as a weapon over one’s own – as Notional Security ie: these acts and sacrifices are held necessary for the survival of the notional self/tribe/nation. This imprint has not evolved since it was burned into experience. Such is the mind born of fear – which is a false creation within the Mind created in God’s Likeness – ie: Creative Individuality.

If you want you can read the Commandments as implicit to abiding in true co-creativie resonance rather than as a social ordering. There is Nothing But God and worshipping imaged definitions of Indivisible Reality as if they are God will seem to make an Otherness and conflict within You – a sense of having got something at another’ expense, a sense of Other threatening to take it back; a sense of lack – in short the whole Fall or Separation experience.

“If you go there, a sense of un-reality will reverse the true with the false and you will hurt yourself in the attempt to reconcile them”.
Everything that is experienced is Felt in Consciousness and that is far far more than the tiny focus allowed a mind ‘inside’ a body and operating within the confines of its dictate. In that sense your whole life is already received as riches of a kind your thinking precludes from your appreciation – but unless you stop turning away from living relationship into the posture and imposture of asserted independence from the very Life that sustains you – you wont recognize the Life though it is all around you.
The translation of everything that SEEMS to be or have been, to an unqualified Acceptance in truth is a ‘Mercy’ beyond our understanding – but not our acceptance. The human conditioning is of a PAST made in anger imposed upon the presence as a present in terms of the past. That’s another way of saying we re-enact separation trauma over and over – without GETTING IT! – Without recognizing the distortion of the Creative and sweeping it out of the Template.

You may think that without guilt and fear – you or indeed society – would run off the rails and chaos would follow. That’s the nature of fear-based ‘control’ and it believes its own thought true. You can read Jesus as an Invitation to wake out of that sacrificial conditioning – for which there is no punishment – though all sense of ‘punishment’ is within its framing.

Or you can read it as proof and reinforcement of the idea of sacrifice of Love as ‘saving’ sinners to survive and prevail within a magical bubble that love will not violate.
The NEED to believe in, and hate and identify against evil, is not what I see in Jesus. He was very aware of the destructive effect of fear-deceits, and in the instant of recognizing a scam – he put it behind him while attending the Living. However, the nature of fear-deceit in our identity is such that I cant simply address this in words and change anything. I can only extend my witness to your willingness to wake out from deceit that MUST be operating if your sense of yourself and world is conflicted.

“How is it I am deceived?” If this is a genuine desire in your heart – then whether you call it prayer of not it will align you with the information you need in a timing and a manner you can accept – one step at a time – and in terms of Life – that expand or stretch your current definitions of communication and relationship – to let more Life in!

There is much revelation of deceit in the ‘ways of our world’ that is deeply disturbing to a sense of sanity, stability or continuity. To the manipulator, this works to unsettle and herd or farm an outcome. To the awakener is opens the way of uncovering the very self-same devices our own consciousness employs in maintaining a false or oppositional definition of sanity, stability and continuity upon the Life that is not allowed to embody and fruit in its true nature.

The idea of the Holy Spirit – is of your re-integrative recognition and acceptance to your Whole Original Mind – and as such is nothing more than your true signature quality – held in trust within you while your attention is engaged in a ‘divide and rule’ by which your ‘signal’ or channel of communication is adulterated, diluted, usurped, robbed, lost, lusted for and taken over by reversals of true desire that use your own power against yourself by unrecognized deceit.

If you want to be the one to send another, hell – then you will have to be the one to release yourself from what you establish in yourself by giving it. For what you give out is what you get back. As you sow so shall you reap. Garbage in, garbage out. The innate Nature and Law of Mind is unchangeable. Everything changes – but your experience of this unfolding Meaning is according to the gifts you accept and extend – for yours is such power – even to unfold a meaninglessness that is hateful to you. You can have what you choose – but unless you align with what you truly want – you wont know your own choice and wont know you can change it.
You have to OWN the ‘mistake’ of learning by experience so as to release it into a corrected perspective. That is how life works when you let it. Repentance in Jesus was not about sin – it was about IMMEDIATELY getting back on track and not looking back. The ‘world’ subverted that to be all about sin with the goal to be achieved in some future that NEVER comes. You do get that, don’t you. It never comes – and that is the deceit by which to SEEM ‘spiritual’ while bullshitting yourself – and of course trading a subverted ‘version’ of a simple effective understanding.

The Idea of G-d – “I Am, That I Am” was so Powerful and Awesome an Idea to the ancient Hebrew tradition that only the chief priest, on the day of the Holy of Holies, in the Holy Place at the back of the Holiest Temple – would utter the Name out loud!

Is that not the hiding of the “Holy Spirit” in a “safe place” from corruptions of the sinful sense of compulsive deceit? Is it not the hiding FROM the true by making it Special and Other – so as to protect the sinful or wrong-feeling sense of compulsive deceit while mitigating its payload of fear and guilt?

I am living in different times now – I feel this is the time to separate from that which separates us from our true Life – and not look back – or bind unto a mind of denial in the illusion of power that is blind to the power of illusion. I don’t feel to persuade anyone of what is not the Will. That didn’t work — it backfired! I do feel to illuminate the nature of the ‘choice’ as a current responsibility. For in a conscious awareness of the true nature of the choice – there is no choice but Life – and the ‘other’ falls off as meaningless and of no relevance or use. So you might see that the Framing of deceit is to divert attention to choices – all of which – maintain the lack of free awareness in which to SEE.

The loss of a true self-acceptance is the loss of HONESTY. It is your Foundation and no holy bullshit will substitute for the Real You. But in living the genuine presence of you – you can see that what is used as a mask of manipulation – has original true meaning. You don’t have to use the same terms – but you don’t have to give all such communications to the degraded use of them either.

The ‘Way to truth’ is as simple as answering the knock on the door. If you want a complex and painful process before you let it in – you can use time that way too. It’s up to you.

(Hang on I’m busy. Not now – cant you see I’m busy! In a minute – I have to sort this out first…. Another day – I’ve got a lot going on here! Go Away! I cant deal with this now! This is the last thing I need! Fuck off or I’ll call the police! Doctor, I have these symptoms that I cant get rid off… what? I have to take this for the rest of my life?).

Raw Life and pastuerisation

Whoever it was that brashly asserted rights to freedom from any oppression of the state etc drew this response from me


More exactly - he (Trump - but that's beside the point) knowingly or unknowingly works for a subverted or captured state - that operates more like cancer than a true state of cooperative communication.
It never gets us anywhere to focus on personalities - nor on transhuman personalized concepts such as corporations or state and its agencies. The root of the sickness is deeper than the diversionary tactics thrown up to keep it hidden in perpetual conflict - that brings on death in more ways than is obvious within such conflictedness.
The denial of Life is so built into our mindset - that we are mostly not aware it operates through us. We feel 'right' or 'protected' in the assertion of power over Life - but don't see it that way - for we judge all that does not fit our concept of Life - our self Image - as something to deny, suppress, ignore, invalidate, kill, hate, and be shameful or hateful in.

There is Raw Life that is presencing Itself right where you/we are - but the mind operates on top of it and as a result has a false, fearful and guilt-ridden sense of Life.  True Civilisation is awake to and in alignment and communication with what moves us Alive - not an imposed and directed narrative running as a 'matrix' of control managing a demand to protect from 'raw negatives'.

If you are forced to - or forcefully deprived of - ingesting food, drugs, medicine or toxins - then you decide how you are going to define and use that event as part of your experience of who you are... and who you are not.

The 'person' is not in control - and yet its attempt to control brings on the experience of being controlled. If we attract that into our life, it may be illuminating aspects of our own mind that we are blind to.

Perplexity in the 'end-game'

When J said give to Caesar what is DUE and to God what is due. I take it to mean there is a difference of two purposes here that can seem to conflict - but one of them is unconflicted in itself.
If you put your treasure where it is robbed, trashed, corrupted and abused. Stop! Put it where it truly belongs. As Steven Hotho indicates, true worth is something that you can recognize and extend - rather than get from some set of ideas that seem to be what they are not. (Or indeed get from opposing some set of ideas).
What does it profit a man to gain the world if he loses his Soul?
When the 'prodigal' wakes to the true nature of his wretched condition - he regains a freedom of perspective from which to re-evaluate a mind that before he was too busy living. It was a mind of independent private authority - ie: the will to power.

It is hard to articulate this in words because identity confusion is so profound.
If you choose to accept that your life is but a futility in an evil or insane malevolence - then those thoughts are enacting such a purpose upon your consciousness and will bring forth fruit accordingly. THIS is where I see you as being in control or rather in relationship with Thought Itself. Not control over fixing outcomes - but in being on purpose as to what thoughts you are accepting by living from.
Nothing turns out to be what it seemed and the sense of loss and disturbance is profound. I don't know where you live - but if you can get out into Nature - someplace where the surroundings of sight smell and sound help to harmonise and touch in at a wordless thoughtless level.

Loss of true context leads to crazy thinking. You cant change what you are unwilling to own in yourself, and when you have owned crazy thinking in yourself - you wont want to use it to change it - but from a deeper place, life aligns in different ways - if you let it, hang in with and stay in a place of honouring it. Lies are also used as a kind of protection against what one simply cannot face. Compassion is different from sympathy. Unless we open to allow a self-acceptance, we operate on a hidden self-denial - which is another word for lies. You ARE having the time of your life! - but the quality of your unfolding experience depends on what you are choosing to use it for. Lies falsely frame the sense of options available. Curiosity is willing to revisit ideas and beliefs that DID serve you to some extent but now do not serve you. This can be seen as a chore under compulsion, or an exciting adventure! There is always a choice in operation - and so there is always a potential to recognize the active choice and thus HAVE choice in whether to persist in it or focus in some other idea that is more aligned with who you now feel and know yourself to be - BECAUSE of having this feedback of dis-appointment.

Life in Earth or nightmare enslavement

In reply to Alex vandenBerg:

... In your view, Do you think humanity will ultimately be enslaved under a nightmarish, Orwellian technocratic world government? Or will we avert disaster?

https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/03/02/trump-why-the-elite-media-were-completely-wrong-about-his-chances/#comment-151405

We can all learn from noticing rather than reacting - even amidst the energetic of reaction. That seems a tall order - but there is no other hope I can offer humanity than to wake in place - amidst whatever is actually moving and own it. Not use it for blame - but open a self-acceptance in place of whatever thinking is invalidating you - regardless if it seems to be an 'others' it is still our own joining and acceptance of it that cuts us.

You are the unique expression of your own answer to this question.
What do you want? It is easy to say you don't want slavery and disaster while persisting to act in the ways that invite it. To say you are powerless and that you don't make any difference.

The trap is to let a fear of the negative become your working definition or driving force. If you are constantly focusing in and feeding the idea of want you DONT want  then nothing of what your heart truly desires can reach you - and still less move you to act forth in your world in a way that can be genuinely met.

If there were both these realities splitting off from this timing - which bus are you currently on?
Make sure you are at one with your choices and then whatever unfolds will meet and reflect the true of you.

No time like the Presence

Time's Arrow
We think space and time are the structure of the universe. But are they simply human fantasy? 

At IAI.tv on the nature of time...


This is written for pre-verbal recognition - so if you are interested - let the stirrings of recognition be the guide rather than sacrificing the new life to an idol of a god that does not feel to know or know to feel.

If "The present is nothing but a border between the past and the future" is asserted, accepted and believed, then living presence is effectively usurped and denied by a disconnected 'mind' in concept. Living presence embraces and includes the capacity to focus in concept and have a seemingly split off experience that neglects full presence to attend  in specific and exclusive focus - and identify 'self' in the maintaining of such focus as if only the specific extension of attention is one's being and all else is 'other' or indeed invisible as a result of the filtering and distorting lens of self-concept.

The construct of such differentiating perspective operates as a template of translation whereby the  movement or unfolding of the innate qualities of being are filtered through the primary lens of self-concept or definition to a conflicted and fragmented reflection of a conflicted sense of self - because  exclusive identity in self-image or concept can only generate  a counterpoint to the wholeness of an infinite or non-exclusive appreciation or knowing of being.
Existence includes the extension and recognition of awareness of existence. They are not two. The awareness is not cold, disconnected and differentiating. That is the mind of judgement which is associated with rejection and exclusion that seeks to relate only in terms of its own survival identity rather than to uncover the movement of being in the relationship itself.
All possible pasts and the futures are 'within' Infinite Perspective or timelessness which is not something to wrap a mind around without losing the recognition of self that does not call itself self because it is simply without otherness. "Wrapping a mind around" is in concept according to the definitions that feel resonant to the movement of being that any extension or expression of Life recognizes itself in. The experiencing or feeling of dissonance can be used as a counterpoint for a personal sense of choice between the polarities of freeflowing and limitation - and this sense of power has its foundation in the loss of Presence to an oppositional conflict. This generates a sense of a past in which Everything Changed. From this past - reacted to, accepted and believed - is the present derived or at least its framing is derived. And the framing is change by which light of feeling awareness and presence of unconflicted wholeness is re-defined as Threat, Exclusion and Abandonment and this was lost, usurped or denied. The Fall or Separation - is a breakdown of Communication and not an actual change - excepting of Perspective - from which all else automatically follows in like kind.
For the survival urge of the identity in concept and in form, the future is the persistence of the original intent - so that all that unfolds to awareness is framed in or subverted to serve the framing of the past - as the believed power to control (effect change of outcome on) Life. This momentum of limitation and division works to exhaust the capacity to maintain the capacity to feel and know a life within such perpetual and increasingly futile and meaningless struggle - and so the structure of the defences around maintaining self-concept from change of loss weakens and exposure occurs, breakdown occurs, disease and dysfunction occur. Contrary to the deepest fears of the ego-sense of self, the reconnect to being is not damning or hell-inducing - though the fears themselves are!
But reveal a true foundation in place of the false - a true presence felt and known in which an unconditional embrace of what one truly is - becomes the basis for un unfolding of future into presence terms - as a reintegrative movement of being. The synchronicities that are inherent to Remembering a greater and more embracing perspective are also the remembrance of the timelessness that is always timely - unless timed out in a past and future that have no real relevance to who you truly feel and know yourself to be.
I've run out of time so this is therefore complete!

Belief and the Gods: Is belief in the divine a fantasy?

Belief and the Gods: Is belief in the divine a fantasy?

The above discussion at IAI.tv prompted my response:

Underneath all of this is simply the nature of belief. There are those who believe their reality is NOT belief but provable. The dominant reality paradigm operates invisibly at a level that is simply assumed and acted out from as if self-evident. Where is this self?
Self-definition is the act through which all else follows - and is not the superstructure of personality identity strategy, but the template out of which the experience of a self-and-world arises to the focus within its theme ideas.
Conscious beliefs may be easily shown to be incongruent with actual behaviour. This indicates the juggling in consciousness of conflicting beliefs, and this in turn indicates conditionings by which who one feels to be and who one embodies as a relational presence are split or held apart.
This core split is deep in the human conditioning of all of us and so is 'invisible' - whilst being the most fundamental act from which all else cascades as ways to self-validate or self-justify - indeed prevail and persist or survive within the terms set by the original trauma or imprint by which consciousness 'split' as a result of a sense of overwhelm and inadequacy, into conflicted parts that play out at a shadow level or unconsciously - as well as on a surface level as presentation and domination of narrative - ie: judgement and the power to assert it.
Before one can begin, one needs perspective of free curiosity. Beliefs that block or deny such curiosity are indicative of the controlling denial aspect of the survival sense. To open these to transformation or evolving to less and less obstructive beliefs is not the realm of assertive and controlling judgement - but of honest insight free of the shaming blaming 'righteousness' of self-superior belief grown off of invalidating the other.
To try to communicate idea as a battle - no matter how intellectually posed - is a nonsense. Though a willingness for relationship can cut through any nonsense. A genuine relationship is not a set of rules that one imposes on another by which to be acceptable or valid. Such beliefs operate to make sure intimacy of Idea does not occur! For true Consciousness is Divinely and Already Presence - and we let into such a Living Fact in willingness or persist in the belief in a self that determines what definitions of reality-testing-experiencing are real and enforces them as a private mind.
The belief in a private mind is shared by all excepting lovers who feel and move within and as a wholeness of being - not split and not defined by symptoms of split. This is not a matter of belief - though belief can work against recognition. It is a matter of recognizing, owning and moving past belief to a quality of being that cannot be defined so as then to be an object of belief. But that the Ideas that are then called forth, accepted, and acted out or embodied, will be given full belief without making a private assertion of personal power from the movement. And so will not be in conflict with any other aspect of the whole. So there is no lack from which to seek proof or validation in order to get something - because one is fully engaged in embracing and embodying the life that is revealing or uncovering itself as you - with everyone.
This  - written out - seems whatever it seems - but the writing is a pointer to something that is discoverable beneath the appearances we take for real - for whatever reasons and without judgement or blame for those reasons - for they worked in bringing you here - to this appreciation.

From Jesuit conspiracy to consider the root of all evil.

Beneath all specific examples is the lie and the father of the lie. The wolf in sheep's clothing is the form that is adopted or used to mask a hidden loveless agenda. Be that even the salvation of the person because the sense of self apart from God and brother or sister in Christ (Creation) is born of the wish to engage in experience of such 'specialness' apart from the Whole. Fragmentation, war and a mind in deceit results from self-illusion. That then claims it has free will from God rather than putting the false aside in willingness to discern Free Will. Free Will cannot be put in the 'old wine bottle' of the paradigm of a conflict of persons - which reflects the conflictedness within.
The moneylenders in the Template are symbolic of the interjection of guilt and fear driven agenda within our foundations - within our core definitions and beliefs by which we have and share our unique gift of Life.
The purpose of conflict is to divert, condition and trap or anchor attention, within the Idea of a power God is not. It makes itself seem to be true by asserting God in image, symbol and Concept - and experiences itself dissonant as a result of seeking to maintain and conform its experience to its accepted or chosen Identity - and identity imprinted in guilt and terror - as the power of belief is the power of the word, and to believe a power God is not is contra Diction or the power to deprive and hurt oneself.

In seeking to untangle the threads of deceit in the history of the Earth, one can always go back further to see the same pattern. Will uncovering the true nature of worldly power open the truth that heals and shows us we are free? Not if it pulls us into the baited conflict of deceit. However, the world can be used to identify the flaw in our self that is overlooked while righteously blaming and hating others. Not a flaw that damns us - but a flaw to seek correction of.

Christ could not awaken humanity to the truth he was witnessing to, demonstrating and teaching, in large part because the mind was not ready to receive more than its own measure. Guilt and fear were and are a very deeply imprinted conditioning that necessarily interprets through a glass darkly - seeking answer for the mind in the world rather than recognising one truly lives in God and not the fragmented, distorted projections of a mind in its own spin.

"Resist ye not evil" is very dear to my heart. But so is the discernment of truth and the willingness to turn away from falsehood and put it away or behind me BY wholly embracing the true.

Humanity has become negatively identified in what it is trying to get rid of, or in what it is afraid of. But fear is a self-fulfilling prophecy because what we feed with attention, we strengthen, invite and attract. to be mindful as to the qualities and nature of our thoughts is to be vigilant against temptation. The a tempt to be apart as if above Life in judgement is the secret deceit that humanity tacitly conspires to protect from exposure using religion or science or any form of anything that it may hide it to escape notice.

That we see this patterning in our world is our readiness to discern it in our own mind - and know that it does not speak for us nor represent the true of us. Not wish or hope it is not true of us but knowing. It is given you to recognize truth because Free Will created you like unto your Father and has never left you - regardless the intensity of assertion of pain, shame or rage that denial has generated.

I do not claim to be right against a wrong - I simply bear witness in willingness of relationship. No one is to come between what God creates or awakens to knowing Creation. And so my 'church' is relationship itself rather than any outer form. This must be received within and extend forth. All outer forms become corrupted and diluted by misuse or indeed abuse.

Guilt is the antiChrist that would usurp God and Self and corrupt and subvert all to a 'control' in which true will has NO place. Will-less-ness is a state of no Conscious Presence - a kind of death in which no will can be called upon because it has been replaced by the lifeless definitions by which it is denied. Few realize they are even being robbed until they wake to see they had put their trust in idols that have no power to love or protect them.

To say that God loves us as we are is to say that when we insist on being who we are not, we withhold the gift of our true presence and experience the reflection of that in a broken and distrustful world. Any attempt of will to add or take away from ourself is adding confusion to confusion. However, we are free to desire a clearer appreciation or perspective of who we are and what is truly going on in this event or place or relationship. But the wilful determination to overcome or solve something on our own - in our terms, is not a true will but an imprisoned will - which is not a Fact in God but a definitional thought disorder!


PS

I looked up Arminian... (Re Protestant ideas of Christianity) the thing that comes up for me is noticing the intent to fix truth in form and sanctify and idolize the form. Even that has its place - for some order must be held in which to gain a greater perspective. However Jesus fulfils and transcends the Law of Moses - which were made for Man - in the divine sense of Humanity. Not for some men to subvert into a perpetual system of dominance over others through deceit.
We have the same command and control mentality in using 'truth' as a weapon or war in Science - and that science either but the usurping of the desire to uncover truth (albeit ignoring the Consciousness of the movement of being in which all experience arises).
The Holy Spirit is the capacity - our innate capacity - of discernment. One could say Jesus is the Personification of the Holy Spirit and left it with us because his life illuminated and exemplified it as our own true Nature.
There are so many way that one accommodates a true movement of willingness to meet the form of the need - but one does not elevate the accommodation to the status of Truth just because it was truly helpful in its moment.
God is the Only Power - but if that cannot be meaningfully useful, then such of God's remembrance as can be accepted has to find a way to enter where there is apparently no room... and that infant be nurtured and indeed kept hidden until its time to come forth.

Desire, Dreams and Happinness - can we ever arrive?

Desire, Dreams and Happinness - can we ever arrive?
An IAI debate

While seemingly open to a wider range of ideas, the IAI approach still operates from presumptions that then frame the question.
The presumption of lack, be it inadequacy, separation or incompletion, becomes the basis of a false sense of self that is no more true for being mutually reinforced. Happiness actually comes first and extends and expresses itself as desire that then unfolds as an experience or reflection of completion. One is always arising anew from wholeness. The identification within a belief in self lack is being chosen and enacted and experienced as part of a greater desire whose meaning is an unfolding human being - which is infinitely more than our self concepts. One can say that exploring what is NOT true of you and does NOT fulfil your innate desire for love and life and happiness is part of the journey you have chosen whereby to more clearly recognize and re-member who you truly are. There is no sense of lack in your true presence - unless of course you choose to be less than the wholeness of what is You right here and now. But then you are experiencing your wholeness in a fragmented and dissociative way and not recognizing your Self at all!
Love is the true joy and freedom of being yourself. In any situation or relationship where you feel and allow the permission to be all that you are in that moment - you will feel loved and loving. Fantasy relationships substitute for actually extending that acceptance and freedom to another - which is the only way to have it yourself. The substitution of fantasy associations for living presence is self-deprivation. Struggling to defend a fantasy that reflects only your own sense of lack is chasing an idol of power or completion from the conviction you do not already have it and so give your power away to external props that do not know or care for who you truly are.
In a sense EVERYTHING is Imagination - but some thoughts, definitions and beliefs are more in accord and alignment with the core signature vibration that you absolutely recognize as YOU, so to align with and follow your joy is to connect with your joy to the best of your ability in every moment when you are presented with a choice. This is simple embodying and expressing a genuinely felt or true sense of worth. Why would you NOT align with your joy? What are you believing about yourself that invalidates you? Is it true? Does it serve you? Do you want it? Act from your current knowing while staying in the willingness to know more. or you can just talk and think about everything and act as if nothing you say actually means you have allow the transforming of who you thought you were

Why is there something rather than nothing?

Why is there something rather than nothing?
This the title of an IAI debate 

In a sense the question is meaningless because it is saying why - or to what purpose or for what reason, Existence? - without taking account that a purpose is already in motion within which the capacity to ask such a question is itself an answer - but not in the terms of the framing of the question but to the purpose operating beneath or behind the presumptions and self-definitions of the questioner.
However, there are fruits or consequence to every thought accepted and given focus, and one can readily see that our current experience is selected from infinite possibilities and such choices are either spontaneous or seemingly conditioned. "Go forth and multiply" can be said of what you think, what you attract and invest in and what fruits you bring forth. It is the extension of Life in purpose of 'Know Thyself', yet in our human consciousness we largely tend to identify or try to identify with what we are NOT. In trying to be what we are not we forget the wholeness of unified expression that we are. Fearful and guilt-ridden self definition operate such forgetting - within which truth is denied by assertions of self-judgement believed and reacted to as true. Within this confusion of identity the feared truth drives a search for truths that protect or empower the limiting of fear. These operate to redefine and limit the mind so as to seem to be an independent authoritative will or power in one's own right - but beset by threat, adversity and opposition.
Anyway - that preamble was not in my comment on the page but the following is:

THAT anything exists.THAT anything Is - is the most primary Fact that remains TRUE regardless of what it is defined or imagined or believed to be.
That Awareness OF THAT anything Is - is integral to all and every experience of all or any definition, imagination or belief. And the nature of awareness itself is One in All and All are in the One.
Whatever definition, imagination or belief is extended or accepted and acted out from as true of you will be the measure of what you get back. This is always true, but can seem not to be true within the belief that you can get or become more as a result of making someone else less. It is this idea of segregative division that estranges humanity in general from the Communion implicit in the first two truths above.
To know your own unified purpose is joy - which restores the Communion within the creative expression of the gift of Existence.
Everything changes - EXCEPT the first three truths which are simply the nature and function of Mind - within which is all reflected idea known; experienced, shared and forever unfolding anew.
This is another way of saying:
'there is no God but God'.
God is All in All.
As you sow, so shall you reap,
And God Moved upon the 'Waters'
But the idea 'God' has come to mean separate from your any moment - and especially you, or coercive upon 'His' Creation rather that One with, and removed from and irrelevant to Creation (The extension and sharing of the Gift of Existence), which is to such thinking a material objective INDEPENDENT existence. BUT never has a moment of such ever been discovered or known in any way whatsoever - because it can only be known within a consciousness of such structural definitional beliefs as to be experienced in such terms.
The extending of the definitional belief of an INDEPENDENT existence - is reflected in a world of seemingly INDEPENDENT things. Seeking truth or completion or wholeness in a world of ever changing things is looking in the only place where it is not Obvious.
I write to extend what resonates true of me - and yet recognize truth is beyond all definition - and yet a less and less filtered and distortive lens affords a clearer recognition. The mind-layer we tend call consciousness is a device within a larger Consciousness. It does not control or contain the whole but it can serve as a channel through which Consciousness knows itself in the extension and reflection of truly shared experience.

I acknowledge Bashar in this communication - whose information is often profoundly simple yet practical to a readiness to receive it - regardless the packaging it comes in.

Consciousness Responsibility

Most of my more public writing has moved to the 'willingness to listen' blog, where it reflects on news articles and human behaviours in the light of Consciousness.

Definitions 'program' what we often take to be our mind. Operating out-from them and within the 'reality' they result, is the nature of our human experience.
But mind is not limited by its 'limitations' for it is by nature edgeless and timeless apart from the act of focussing and identification within idea.

So we may become aware of our 'template' definitions - whether by virtue of self-enquiry and creative joyful expression, or whether by the experience of intolerable discord arising from a conflicted sense of self that can no longer remain disguised by projection and denial.

Current 'news' articles provide the reflections of a conflict that comes ever closer home - for the resonances and relevances to our own foundational living cannot be ignored - at least not without ever deeper sacrifice of joy to fear's tyranny.

Awakening to the layers of mind that operate as our conception and perception experience, is part of the integrative realignment within Consciousness. I often refer to this as Consciousness responsibility. The word ‘conscious’ has been devalued - for who in their so called waking life doesn't  consider themselves conscious?

Consciousness is that quality by which we have or know or be conscious of anything whatsoever. Defining consciousness in terms of specific functions limits our appreciation of Life to the idea such functions represent or embody. But Consciousness serves the innate law of “Know Thyself” - for as you sow, so shall you reap. This is not really a time concept, for the reward of ‘self/experience’ is immediate. True giving is its own reward But the idea of getting at the expense of another is the idea of fragmentation and attack of one’s own Indivisibility.
“What you give out is what you get back”. Ingenuity can contrive illusion whereby one seems to get something different and thereby give differently than consciousness actually is.
That is another way of saying we can accept a definition or image of self that is false, limiting and conflicts with the true.
By the word that proceedeth from our own mouth (mind) are we corrupted.
Such are definitions or self-beliefs that are not true of us - and which actively cost the appreciation and sharing of what is true of us, from our split off mind that fears truth will damn it or annihilate it. But it is the split which is undone or healed and a wholeness of aligned being that then replaces a war within oneself.
To know thy purpose is to be like God. Hidden or secret agenda is unlike love. Light is also a term for awareness and is the First awareness of which all else is. This Light is not merely energy, but feeling or knowing, and is thus our true Soul Nature in Spiritual Expression. That darkness of forgetting operates our mind is not our sin, but our call to awaken. Sin is the choice to prefer illusion of private or secret agenda to a true and open relationship. But such choice is ITSELF a fruit of error and not a true result - for it is only as true as you give your truth to it - now and now and now.

Consciousness responsibility recognizes it does not know, having become confused within its own thinking. Therefore it pauses or yields its own thinking to let That which knows - illuminate the true. For the true requires no assertion or defence or justifiction to be itself, but is un-hidden or obvious to a mind at rest - and registers with us as the rising awareness of the movement of being that both moves us and is us. From this we can take this step wholly. Joined with this we have supportive guidance built into our awareness of the situation.

When we accept the thinking that we of ourselves know - we fall under the spell of a confusion of Consciousness within the egocentricity of our personality structure - until we notice that has been operating. Noticing is always the breakthrough of presence or awareness. Welcoming and valuing awareness appreciates or grows it in our lives. Using it to feed a guilt-script densifies and locks in the spell of an isolated loveless existence. But is IS a choice. reclaiming it as a choice allows a different choice. A choiceless choice extends through the acceptance of our freedom to be - for joy is not a choose-between so much as a resonance of relevance to the felt quality of light within.

Reality

Beyond Reality - The Limits of Knowing
Also linked to on iai.tv as the arrogance of knowing?

I felt a desire to essay something on 'reality'. Here it is:


At the root of any apparent conflict is a definition out of true.
If the term reality is accorded to experience - then any and all experience on any kind of any 'level' is a facet of all that reality can be experienced as.

But in order to HAVE an experience, there has to be a definition of oneself in relation to 'something'.

The native experience of anything conceivable or imaginable within awareness, is not in any moment, way, shape or form, different or separate FROM the awareness OF.

Un-separate or unified experience is therefore pure or open or innocent experience prior to any action of self-other differentiation, desire or identification that may arise as mental overlay or lens of a personal sense of meanings upon the pure creation that is the rested nature of Mind-Reflection.

However, crystalizing within the expereince of Otherness or separation - gives rise to the sense of a world outside what is now being defined and accepted and therefore experienced as over and against oneself.

For every action is equal and opposite reaction in Consciousness, but the assertion of attempt to coerce or control what is now defined as 'other' self or otherness of world, reflects back - as every Idea in consciousness reflects back.

The mind in reaction conditions itself by its experience as a mapping and meaning structure or model of reality that substitutes for the direct and spontaneous knowing of unified experience, apparently usurping functions in consciousness to a personal achievement, of discovery, and manipulation or control.

The losing of conscious awarenes of integral being or embrace within unified awareness is the shadow cost of the seeming capacity of independent authorative will, that believes it operates privately upon life as if from a point outside it. And becomes the basis for the fear of losing its private sense of life or self and the guilt of living at the cost of a greater wholeness of shared communication and reflection.

Fear and guilt effectively lock the mind into concrete set patterns of defence that operates in such a way as to displace and dissociate the now split and intolerably conflicted consciousness of identity at war within itself.

The contraction of fear and the denial of awareness and communication of guilt render a frozen consciousness in which eveything is predicated upon the denial of consciousness excepting the trickle of a personal sense of control amidst the crystalisation of limitation in reaction, which is fear directed to look away from the conflict within by projecting its conflict upon the outer of the body, others, the world, and onto Life Itself or God as a sense of a rejecting, disconnecting, abandoning or and unsupporting absence. Which in turn 'justifies' angry and assertive or self-righteous defiance as well as attempts to validate or atone or regain a sense of meaning that such identity/experience of Life no longer shares.

The assertion of a separative idea or intent inherently shuts off communication and support and limits or depletes even as it seems to rise to become a power unto itself. The disntegration of a falsely identified self can only give way to the true, but while framed in the paradign of self-assertive power, will not be recognized, or accepted, but seem to be the proof of power over life in death.

Reintegration of seemingly split mind or self to Consciousness Itself is a matter of willingness to receive as a result of not identifying in reaction of past conditioning.
What may seem to be loss of self to a serving of the whole is in fact a willingess to receive the will of the whole as it resonates and is relevant to the reintegrating and innately joyful or insired purpose that is within the communioned sense of shared existence.

All abilities developed within the mind within its adaption to a time-space continuity of unfolding now serve a different foundation than that of a personal survival amidst fear and guilt defined conditioning. Giving forth a whole or inspiring quality of being within the forms of relations in the world draws forth a different response. Despite all appearances to the contrary, the consciousness itself is transformed via the re-exposure of denied fear and guilt that in willingness, are released and replaced with more fluid and open definitional structure of belief until the flow of creative spontanaity is balanced as a flow of relational being within the experience of consciousness within Consciousness. Some differentiation is part of remaining in the physical focus, but the expansion of that focus as fear is released and joy embrace reveals ever more of a true reflection of the reality of who it is you as this unique expression, have in effect chosen or accepted to be.

The reality of all that is, is infinite in all and every sense and not just in material/energetic dimension. Mind is without limit of ANY kind and so what can be known is ONLY of That and yet as a unique relation of the part and parts in the whole and the whole in the part/s.

Arriving at the understanding that we cannot understand reality or totality opens the way to understanding what we need to understand, when we need to understand it relative to the movement of being as it resonates and is relevant to the themes that effect a facet of specific focus, within an All At Once or timeless and Infinitely expanding totality, for although there is nothing OUTSIDE existence into which to expand, the fundamental nature of Creation is open or free BECAUSE there is no limiting factor of otherness and is therefore free to create along any line of thought by extending through Idea within itself.

Everything is Consciousness. Belief can align to share or extend it or imagine itself differentiated. The only 'difference' to true is false, to awareness is forgetting, to life is death. A false binary operates the foundation of what we define as a mind-matter split. However the true-awareness-life exists in and of itself, but the false-forgetting-death depends on choosing NOT to know by identifying in the belief one knows in place of actual yielding to the condition of knowing.

Withholding life is not survival, apart from others, but it can be a framework of a particular kind of experience in which to clearly know what you are NOT. This then is a portal to Remembering the reality of what you ARE - which is beyond all definition as is the reality of everything and everyone. Yet true alignment or relation to the Infinite identifies you perfectly as integrally one with and part of all that is.

Determining reality operates the either/or mentality of self segregating assertion, One may determine what one feels and believes to be and thus embrace that experience of reality by so doing, and share that into Consciousness by living it - but one does not establish reality for anyone else excepting within one's own virtual personae of them. Mutual agreements seem to determine reality and find the evidences that serve as validation. But below the believed experience of self certainties is an Infinitely more alive nature and condition that forever shifts and changes the very consciousness with which one sets up such structures.

This is Good News - although that which attempts to become comfortable within its own determinations will not see it so. Life is ever anew and ever renewing and this is also our experience of every moment of our existence insofar as we do not take Life for granted or become too busy managing fragmented complexity to notice and feel the wondrous.

Where are we from? How do we know?

Waking times had an article on 'our Spiritual Origins'

I felt to join in with the idea being raised and then also to join with another commenter in points they raised. The article posits a narrative in terms of a conceptual inheritance that may serve those who resonate with that approach. I felt to offer something from within this moment to reach within the moment of the readers recognition - rather than via ideas of a sense of separate parts. To share in a consciousness perspective rather than reinforce ideas about consciousness as if it was an it.

- - -

The power to 'forget' is a facet of the differentiating and focusing that serves the Movement of Being "know thyself".
By believing you are what you are NOT and defending against awareness of 'what you Are', a mind or identity of a segregated existence is generated through which to experience All That Is, through a glass darkly - that is, through a lens of filter and distortion.
What you are NOT is essentially your image, concept or definition of yourself. Yet this for most is their predicate of identification.
First as one's thinking, and then as the conditions that are believed to support and protect and reinforce such thinking.

The personality based thinking operates as a control mentality - though it is a function within consciousness and not actually in charge. In some sense it is a complex of masks facing out and in, by which to assert and protect a fearful sense of self from exposure to its conflicted and fearful identity.

So the definition by which we experience ourselves separate ones in separate bodies in a Universe of separate things is not a fixed fact but a perspective within Consciousness.

Consciousness is Infinite and always in a sense Now - yet is an unfoldment or extension of Idea through which "God saw that it was Good". This quality of awareness and recognition aligns us with Source, where no amount of thinking will.

Where we are coming from will - in this world - seem to be as our thinking and beliefs and definitions suggest; from the past, from material processes of sperm and egg, from mythologically described levels of being that we may intuit or imagine, from cosmic explosion of random evolving process, from Something Outside this Universe that projected you into it - and slammed the door!

But none of these address where you are coming from Now. Where consciousness is arising from Now. Thinking operates a thought system, and everyone protects their thought system unless they accept a better alternative in which case there is simply the shift to operate through what works better, what feels clearer and truer.

No one can tell you or show you who you are or where your being comes from and is a direct witness to Existence of, but you can let it back into awareness through your willingness to reintegrate in Consciousness rather than attempt to force consciousness to fit the world as your thoughts, feelings and beliefs have defined it.

Experiencing the physical as if it were reality - period, is a surface or front end to a consciousness that also stirs within. This is not to say anything in particular is un-real - but that what you experience as your reality is directly reflecting your definitions of yourself - conscious and unconscious, and rather than condemn you, this restores you to your creative freedom, because what you are choosing out of true with yourself can be owned and a different choice embraced that is truly aligned or resonant with your CONSCIOUS choice of who and what you truly feel yourself to be. This often arrives through recognizing what you are NOT.
Your true being is tangibly radiant - for Being itself is Living Light and there is nothing else to be OF. The preoccupation with sin is a device of a private self-regard. A willingness to be wrong about yourself allows light in. Yet truly, Light has never left or you would not Be! Letting the light back into your conscious awareness reveals more of Who you are - along with All That Is.
Joy and freedom are not coercive upon you, but having discarded them for the attempt to be who you are NOT, for surviving and fitting into a 'loveless world', you now have to learn that you want them by choosing to act FROM them, until the choice for fear is cancelled out and your wholeness creates as choiceless choice - which is the opposite of the mechanism of fear's tyranny, being an Intimacy of Infinite embrace - that IS your natural state of being unconditionally loved. What is forgotten is not lost, but only misplaced. Where you look to find yourself IS up to You. When fears says Stop! Don't Look! You can call it to hush, for you are desiring truth now. Fear is transformable, transmutable - but NOT in its own terms of reference and not in a way you cant honestly and freely accept. Fear tells you something is out of true in your definitions of yourself in relation to a current situation. Hiding fears by pushing them down, is how to keep them and how to be in a sense sabotaged by them unconsciously. Honesty acknowledges a situation without coercively defining it or committing to such mentality. To NOT choose fear, is to pause and listen and feel for something that reaches to you that is tangibly of a peace or wholeness of being - no matter if it is a glimpse. It shifts.
You are NOT coming from fear - but what you truly are may be being experienced through a lens of fear. Recognizing your fear is the step to owning it and is a grace of noticing - for fear is blind, so YOU know by noticing, that you are the awareness or space in which noticing arises. One starts where one is at with what is to hand in whatever way serves to truly align in this very moment. There is no other moment, but the choice to delay puts off or discards your awakening by using this moment for something else.
Blessed are the poor in Spirit for though they know it not - or would not be poor in Spirit - theirs IS the Kingdom of Heaven.
This is what could be called a foot on the ladder. Blessing IS yours to share but you forgot. Trying to understand why and how you forgot is a way of persisting in forgetting. All things become obvious in the light of a true blessing. We only need to know what we need to know when we need to know it. Is that not beautiful to know!

in reply to the main article:

'We the Sheeple' says:   

“You may think you come from some smart apes or from no-where, however, wouldn’t it just be nice to know the real truth.” (quoted from the article)

It would be nice, but who are we to know?

For any human alive to claim that they are in possession of “the truth” is the premier indicator that they have built a reality from someone else’s reality. All this article does is confirm the beliefs of others who have come before and it is resonating with the everyone else who has bought into the same belief systems.

Everything to humanity is relative (to each experiencer) and nothing is absolute (as in “truth”). And being truth-seekers is far from the purpose of humanity. Many people spend an inordinate amount of time and energy in “trying to figure everything out” rather than surrendering all need to know anything and just “be.” What may exist or how it exists in the non-physical dimensions is simply none of our concern. Full moment-by-moment awareness of all the miracles in the physical dimension in everyone’s experience is perhaps closer to the purpose of humanity.

I replied to 'We the Sheeple':

Yes the mask of the ego operates a distortion - as if there is the real or officially verified truth, apart from all the unreal truths as a fact outside of Self. But you can read anything or receive anything and discern what is resonant with the truth of you as you are in integrity able and willing to accept.

What exactly is it that presumes to be 'human' or lays claim to definitions as to what human can and cannot embrace.
I am not arguing with your definitions but simply inviting you and us all to realize that such definitions as we accept and live out from, determine our experience of perception and action and identity thereby.

The non-physical is not un-present or intangible - it is simply filtered out, discarded, disregarded, in order to focus more exclusively within the human experience - which is never really merely physical, but is a unified blending of the physical within the non-physical. Uncovering this as a recognition of a reintegrating Consciousness is indeed not other than the embrace of the miraculous. For the instant of awareness IS miraculous - proceeding directly from Source and uniting us in Expression.
Everything is Already Given - but to accept it calls for releasing what we thought to have given ourselves alone and apart. What do we give? Our Experience of thought, word and deed, is the going forth and multiplying of the ideas that we choose to accept as our selves, our word, our world.
The purpose of humanity embraces all human purposes - yet redeems or purifies them by such embrace. Even 'wrong' purpose serves - but will not know itself truly thereby.
To be just, is to add nothing and take nothing away from the movement of your true being. Give true witness and receive in like kind regardless the condition or circumstance. Not in order to get something or know something for oneself alone - but as an integral expression of the Universal Will. And why Not!
Waking up to what we ARE choosing  - 'inordinate time and energy in struggle', uncovers what we must actually BE believing, and this embrace owns the choosing so as to be at the point of freedom to release what is no longer felt true.
The way of persisting in delay is to add a sense of 'wrong' to an thought or an action or identification and then be obliged to 'struggle' amidst conflicting self-definitions - as if the wrong has to be overcome or got rid of by the 'right'.
I offer this in happy companionship - to your 'miracle readiness'
I appreciate the willingness to embrace and include the physical within our wholeness. Thankyou.

PS:

"It would be nice, but who are we to know?"

Who are you - or we - to NOT know?

Of course what knowing IS may not be 'nice' or fitting to the desire to map and control reality in one's own image or concept - and therefore NOT knowing may be the required condition in which to persist the illusion of such 'command and control' attempts to integrate self within a segregating movement. But to choose, to consciously decide to Be on Purpose must be to act from what we know to be true - in that moment of honest and intimate embrace. If it is filtered by beliefs, it is still the active faith in the ongoing willingness TO know and checking in as you go. Thus a poor choice will soon be replaced by a better one and will have served to illuminate the better one.
Yes - the 'knowing is different from intellectually acquired or stored information' - but just as the term 'I' can be lived from wholly - so can knowing be an extension of a willingness for communication that is in fact already here to be revealed and shared.

Scripted limitation

http://www.intellihub.com/plato-crystals-dimensions-artificial-intelligence
The above linked article was in a news site - but did not feel a news article - indeed it felt chaotic and unstructured or rather seeking to make structures that I might call trying to put new wine in old bottles.

I do not write because I know something; I write because I feel the prompt of a willingness to listen. In this case I felt an impulse and wrote the following to it:


http://www.intellihub.com/plato-crystals-dimensions-artificial-intelligence/

- - -

That an experience of limitation can be had is evident. That one is ever IN it is questionable. The mechanism or device in consciousness whereby to embody the physical experience contains within itself the liability or propensity for a negative loop of 'trapped identity' in a body - and in a private mind generally presumed to be in your head. The wish to assert private agenda in place of shared Creation can only generate a distorted experience OF Creation in which a Unified Will is hidden by the conflicted 'wills' of a split minded wish.

The world of 'powers' is blindly programmed by a fear that THINKS itself a power over others and suffers that power upon itself.

To 'escape' a battlefield one is not really in, is to pause and accept that all the characters in your dream are part of your script - as you provide a character role to others in their scripting. beneath the level of the character in act is the mind of scriptmaker. Beneath the mind of scriptmaker is the wish to be what you are not -  operating the distortion of your current appreciation of wholeness of being.

The character cannot appreciate excepting as the script dictates - and then only partially and fleetingly as part of a restatement of getting and losing. Owning the fear that makes the script is to face fear and recognize the beliefs that make the script as untrue. This releases them from the scrip and allows a truing up through the spontaneous correction of Unified will - that to the mind in its experience of a world is the operation of active willingness rather than wilful assertion. Willingness is undefended unto one's being. Unconflicted thought word and deed shines of itself into the mind that believes itself legion and extends the invitation and remembrance of a true freedom in place of a falsely framed set of choices designed as the denial OF Freedom. There Is no private individual freedom to be had. The idea of a withheld and uncommunicative mind IS the idea of tyranny.

The freedom to deny freedom is not the freedom to become what you are not. If the choice for Life is in you who ARE Life, then freedom remains your nature and condition HOWSOEVER you choose to use it. By segregating the mind in division of a judgemental rejection of wholeness that you alone shall rule, you have identified with WHAT YOU ARE NOT, and giving it the power that you ARE. All of this is kept hidden as your 'unconscious mind' while you split identify in the illusion of power as your conscious self and your scriptmaking and the assertion of the wish as unconscious self.

The script is a script for awakening all minds because it initiated the perception of fragmentation and disconnection of all minds from One. When fear is swept from the template or script level, your part serves the whole in freedom and appreciation. Being true unto your Self is the releasing of the wish to be coercive upon your Life - no matter how complex or subtly crafted are the mechanisms of 'justification'. Your Being needs no justification to be and share itself perfectly. But we need to be reminded of Who and What Life - including our own expression - truly IS. The thinking of the world will never give this for it was made to hide it.

Where you put your attention seems dictated by circumstances beyond your control and so you seek more control. But that is the mind in reaction. Observe the mind of reaction and rest while it fades. Observe the mind of baiting and deceit and rest while it dissolves. Let the Movement of your true being re-Member and re-Mind you in peace of a wholeness of flow, of extending the gift of Life you are and share.

The real Jesus?

Christians who ignore the real Jesus

The real Jesus?

The Jesus that you make reflects yourself as you choose to be.

If like Jesus you choose to only be as God is Being You - then you will put aside the persona and embrace the whole - which extends through you as your genuine presence and touches others in recognition and embrace of worth.

The moneylenders in the template are not personages to hate. The illustration was not a political act but a profound teaching demonstration of one's own device in consciousness working in secret that interjects itself into the currency of true appreciation and exchange so as to usurp it to a private agenda.

Jesus 'politics' are to give witness to truth. Issues of social organization are a matter of honest willingness for communication - but such communication is denied while the template is 'defiled'. Look therefore within THIS moment of your living to see the self-definitions that are giving rise to your perception and experience - for you are not created BY your experience though you can choose to believe this if you would prefer it to your Creator - Who is with you even now or you would not Be.

The lie and the father of the lie is to be identified WITHIN and put behind you. That there are reflections and symbols of this in the world is to serve your uncovering and owning of your OWN. THIS you CAN repent of immediately ONCE you recognize it.

Who knows not what he does is poor in Spirit - but is no less the inheritor of the Kingdom because one cannot truly disinherit truth. But on can attempt to assert and defend a partiality as if it were whole - at the expense of appreciation of wholeness.

The relevance and resonance to your need is the ears and eyes you have. If you have no need of truth but to use its form to fuel or mask a private agenda, then you will have your experience and be found wanting. There IS no peace in conflict. Be vigilant against the illusion of power. God is not needing praise or belief - but while you withhold your blessing, you will feel deprived. God is the love that needs nothing but to share itself. Creation is an infinitely rich expression of sharing - seen as a wholeness of All in All. The world of perception is a structure of belief - nothing more - but not less. No one lacks faith - but what is it invested in?

The real You is the point, and if Jesus, in any degree or aspect of what that can mean to you, serves the living sharing appreciation of Life's Blessing - then be grateful for the synchronicity and be not embarrassed or inhibited in love's presence as your own - strange as that may seem to a mind conditioned to judgement, coercion, fear and guilt. Conditioning can be recognized and changed by a shift of perspective.

Jesus is the Idea of you embodied, for you to recognize and remember your Father - your Source and Foundation. But only as you are freely willing to accept. God is not coercive upon Creation and THAT is something Jesus embodies as a wayshower - not an idol. Nothing I write here has any authority over the free willing discernment of YOUR heart's choosing. Nothing anyone says or does has such authority - unless your word establishes it so. Why give power and worthship unto idols when you Are the Beloved Son in whom Creation Itself delights? To make idol of Jesus is to deny him in yourself while professing him through a mask darkly.

The Touch

In giving
Is receiving.

In receiving
Is giving.

To separate the One is to 'get' something else. Yet the One is not lost - but lost sight of, while this 'different' kind of thinking and seeing persists.

In love's awareness such a self-divisive and contradictory act is clearly a pointless or absurd kind of attention or focus.

But within the forgetting of our own love, the mind spins in its own pain to keep out any awareness that does not share its foundation.

The willingness to truly pause or rest the mind allows perspective OF the heart (of the wholeness of love's true nature). And restores the basis from which to share Life as joy.

That we 'lose it' is the opportunity to notice our trigger points. The hidden hopes and fears that operate automatically, before we know it, that reassert the mind upon the heart, and which is never true, and there is no peace in it.

Choosing not to choose the mind of reaction leave everything open for the True to move through or rise as a fresh moment of appreciating.

In gratitude for our synchronicity

Unconditional perfection

To one who noted they suffered as a result of an inner demand for perfection:


Yes it is interesting to note the kind of mentality that operates for ourself - and soon revealed to be not a true choosing of self, or other, appreciation at all.

My own ideas of perfection will choose some forms and reject others, line them up in some ways and not others and though nothing real in my actual experience supports this, I will hold some image of 'how things should be' and notice what then is lacking and the image fills with rejection and abandonment.

But self image used this way is already the idea of rejecting, that abandons wholeness.

Every instant of a freely uncoercive sharing - where the Life flows and communicates through the forms of relationship rather than gets defined and locked down in attempt to fit an idea of something imposed or secretly held dear - reminds us of the Life that truly lives and helps us align more to it and giving the dead image no power to keep us from the Living - no matter how tyrannous, pleading, hateful or true-seeming its  assertion. Recognizing the deceiver is remembering to release it or put it behind us. Parleying in its framework is to be hooked and baited and taken for a spin.

We might think we have something better to be or to do that what is right here now as this moment of relationship, this situation - and THERE we make a choice to put ourself where we forfeit choice.

Every miracle-moment reconnects our wheels to the ground in a way that is no longer skidding or careering about in disconnection that then summons fear and coercion to make things line up with where we think we are!

Whatever we chose, it has unfolded something of our theme in life - the things that have interested or drawn us and of course within this are many threads. To fully live the focus of our life-time is to embrace and flow with what inspires and moves us JUST BECAUSE! - that is - without having to justify itself in some system of validation that selects this and rejects that. Being 'the best me' that I can with what I have available in any given moment as an expression of embrace, cannot fail - for there is no setting of of conditions to have to meet excepting to embody the willingness and desire of Life as it moves me.

God Creates us Perfect. In seeming to create the imperfect we have chosen to forget - and so that seems to make no sense to us in the world we think to be. In noticing we had forgotten love we are reminded by Perfection of who we are and what we are. But so gently as never to attack our own creative explorations of 'strange' ideas by which attack seems possible.

Acknowledging THAT there is such a demanding dictate in one's experience is a true step to freedom:

What might I be believing about myself that would lead me to choose to manifest this situation? - and is it true of me? is it what I choose to say "Yes - This is me!"?

Looking within may uncover yukky beliefs, but unless you choose to accept them it will reveal you unconditionally loved.

Thank you

Believing is seeing

Blessed are those whose intuitive faith challenges their experience, because our experience is a constructed reality of belief and definition, accepted true.


Believing is seeing, but of course what one says one believes, is belied by one's actual experience and the inevitable reactions that automatically follow on from whatever interpretation of beliefs IS currently operating.


The underlying 'reversal' is a separation device operating in consciousness whereby a mind seems to have become itself alone in conflict of identity and world in chaos that it takes as the basis to assume and assert power over itself and its world.


The intent to define and understand - in this sense - is an assertion of control imposed upon a natural order or relational unity, that has been and is thus being temporarily disrupted by the separation device.


One can symbolize this in story, and that's the way the older approaches to knowledge operate, in symbols that used archetypes to story the reflection of consciousness itself - that increasingly became disconnected from original context and became used more as modus of social control.


The reversal operates such that we become defined by our own conditioning, that is like saying we believe our own lies, become trapped in our own thinking, or fall under the spell of our own Word.


So it simply follows on, within 'entrancement' to such limitation, conflict, and disconnected sense, to attempt to use an externally mapped world of others to 'fix resolve or work out' its own 'salvation', validation, however it so defines itself justified or complete. The attempt to escape asserts the belief in the reality of the trap.


Curiosity and imagination that seemed cause of such confusion can also be used to question the basis of our 'self' and its corresponding 'reality'. For not only is there no separate 'god' acting upon or coercing a Living Universe/Multiverse into existence, there is likewise no separate 'self' - for all apsects play a part of a whole.


The layer or level of mind is but one facet and itself operates many levels at once - unconscious, so-called conscious, and superconscious - and we generally assert our surface consciousness to be ON TOP rather than notice it screens a selective focus of possibility from a vast range of probability of a truly infinite range of potential.


Human 'reality' is in some sense like a sandcastle upon an infinite beach - or a bubble in an infinite breaking wave - yet the power of the wave is in it, and the focus of the desire and intent that Life Know Itself guides, moves and supports it. For there IS no actual separation or disconnection from That which moves and gives form to the Formless. Nor can one use the vocabulary-ability of a separated self-sense to objectify or make coercive relation with it or under it.


Anything undertaken from the basis of a dis-integrating movement brings the reinforcement of a dis-integrated self and world; a self in pieces. Humpty the broken cosmic egg-o.


So yes; the willingness to accept that we (of ourself) do not KNOW operates to allow the Knowing that is the Communication of the Whole as the Part, and through the Part in communication extended and relationship embraced. The nature of Reality that is unchangeable is that existence is; and that the one is the all and the all are the one, and that what one puts out is what one gets back.


Such is Creation - not of a separate and separating 'god' but in God of God and as God - for That which Is is, but how you - as an integral expression of All That Is - choose to experience existence, is through the sharing of and in and as Idea. No way of experiencing - or rather - of being the gift-communication of experience itself is in itself more or less valid that any or instant or facet of Creation - not least because nothing is in and of itself alone and apart to be so judged. But what is or is not relevant and resonant to YOUR core signature vibration of focusing desire and exploration is natural to disregard in the creative unfolding of the revelation of ever novel ways to experience and relate and feel and know.


All 'self's' operate against their own Good when they are defined in misalignment with their true desire. Protecting the joyless by sacrificing one's joy is absurd seen in the clear. But the mind protects against being seen in the clear for fear of loss and of change of pain and loss, by which it has conditioned itself to survive against.


Coming back into alignment is also the uncovering of a greater clarity of purpose, of vision and of a more integral meaning from which to live and be. It is our natural inheritance from a prodigal exercise within 'as if' - for Source remains Is - and you Know "I am" as your own Indivisibility of being - regardless that the mind can play divide and rule upon its own models. 'What' anything is and how you choose to relate to it be seem to be conditioned and determined by a universe of cause and effect - but any of this can be challenged back to uncover its roots in the Word or definition/belief we put out - in the understanding that the collective agreements constitute a structure of experiencing that like a classroom, is not an authority to overthrow or a prison to break down - so much as a living framework of opportunity for teaching and learning in rich reflection and shared appreciation.


The mind of revolution/evolution can fade to the appreciation of mind as servant and instrument of truly creative freedom shared. It really is a matter of 'where we are coming from' rather than where we believe we have been and thus are conditioned to repeat round and round in revolving whilst ever struggling to evolve within such self conflicted futility.


Science is a valid exploration within the willingness to uncover truth. But without the love of truth there can only be assertions, coercions and war to establish the version that serves whatever it is that one is choosing to love INSTEAD. Consciousness is inherently responsible in the clear for it sees that it does unto itself. Questioning a version of consciousness that refuses to pause and open to revisit its foundations is not an act of war but of love, though not at first recognized such in a mind that believes division and control as the condition on which its own existence depends.

Love's peace or love in pieces?

The two commandments made famous by Jesus essentially unify love of God, love of another AND love of self.

I sometimes think of this as like a three legged stool - though I just had another image of the stool as love of self, other and world as the 'stool,' and love of truth - (God-Recognizing) - being the purpose that the stool serves.
(That God-Love-Being knows itself through extension) - and sees that it is Good/God.

But in truth the God you cant see, is the same as the other and world unrecognised is the same as the one's self made a stranger.

That's why there is no communication between the usurping 'self' concept or image and anything true.
It is literally a self-blinding mechanism that 'loves' to divide and rule - in place of an indivisibility of which true individuality is an extension.

Waking up to that we 'love' to hate and fear to love is a basis from which a choice owned can be dis-owned, repented of, put behind us.

The seeming self-love of an elitist self-specialness is a love of the dead concept, symbol or idol; of taking an 'image' or model of truth as IF it is living truth Itself - thus usurping our original nature.

The imposition of a God that 'Lords it over' its creation is the 'Fall' or separation of a split off mind. It is an identification with coercion in place of true willing.

The idea of love has been adulterated and devalued by equating and confusing it with a coercive power - as if love is something we DO, of our own power - because the idea of the Fall is that we are 'of our own power'.

One can say "I love you" and one can mimic or attempt the forms of (what is currently defined and accepted as) loving behaviour, but that does not make it so. The human 'failure to love' is simply the result of persisting in a futility - like painting the roses red. However, 'failure' can be woven into the lure of 'becoming valid' - by accepting a version of separation that seems hopeful and less obviously hateful - with a presentation of good intention.

But true worth is not dependent on works nor can it be disqualified by works - although attachment to such a judgement will blind one to true worth regardless. True worth is innate to one's being or existence but covered over by filters and distortions of a 'judge presumed to interject division and assert will, instead of discerning a communication within unified being as a unique and integral facet of such Infinite Reflection.

So while there is no communication between the false and the true there is an embrace of both, because they are both in our mind - and therefore in our perception of our world.

To love is our original Nature - but choosing to focus in the idea of a 'different and oppositional' nature is the prodigal error. The willingness to be a servant in my Father's House is met by the Father's Embrace - who restores 'Sonship' - not to a self-specialness of self defined assertion, but TO and AS the appreciation of one's brother as oneself in God.

The Cult of Jesus

Re: In a spiritual forum this morning linking to an article: ...IS JESUS GOD?
I felt to comment on what might be called the cult of Jesus - but which I feel misses the point in a profound way and thus tends to 'get in the way' of what speaks very clearly in its own Light.

- - -

If Jesus is righteous - does that make everyone else wrongteous?
If Jesus really taught ethics, why didn't he set up a school?
Seeing One Light in all is not giving equal rights to persons, but equally honouring that light regardless of persons.

Let that which interprets through the lens of separation serve to teach how NOT to interpret, by seeing it for what it is.

'Jesus' is released in Christ Realisation, and so 'Jesus' serves as an instrument or agency of Communication and as a model for you and I to likewise recognise that we have no existence apart from or separate from God.

All Souls are created of an equal love.
Human consciousness in separation terms believes it is split off and self-creating. The reward of such a belief is a temporary sense of (self-defined and separate) existence.

All men are certainly not born equal.
But in truth the Soul IS free to experience of itself as it wills.

The Rights that are of God CANNOT be interfered with.
No matter what, you CAN call for love's presence AS love's willingness.
Covering over truth does not change that it remains true.

Is Jesus Good?
He took issue with such suggestion.

Is 'The Son of God' the exclusive and special identity of Jesus?
One may assert such - but doing so merely excludes the embrace and sharing of such a love.

Is anyone or anything a person or thing in and of itself?

What is meant by God in the title? The God of Man's imagination is a concept in his own image. Mythic and symbolic representation serves the thought system from which it stems... until it is yielded to the Christ of a pure awareness. Then it serves a different purpose.

The nomenclature does not constitute the acceptance or letting into Presence. One does not need particular words or beliefs to yield to the Source of one's being.
