One of my most popular YouTube video's I posted this video was a ton of fun to make. I really enjoy talking about how the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy that psychology recongnizes is the same as the Law of Attraction. For spiritual people interested in the topic this is a bit of revelation. That a concept they see as a bit Woowoo is documented is huge. This really shows that we create our our perception of reality by such as as the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.
In this video I explain how beliefs create what we perceive. If we belive in ghosts, as a friend of mine said, we will see ghosts. What we set in our mind is very powerful. All of the information that we perceive of the world around us gets filtered through our beliefs.
This is the big boy. I've been working up to this subject with everything I've done so far. This is one of my Foundational Ideas finally made into video. Now that I have some established references I can go back to I can go forward with the more complex subjects. This one is by far one of the most important concepts I ever grasped coming from a combination of my Spiritual Seeking and the culmination of my education in Psychology. Plus it depicts my original artwork, "Trapped In My World."
What Does The Future Hold? I will be covering more Foundational Concepts and more of the fun/weird topics like numerical sequences and a buch of other topics I've covered in this blog. Aiming for short videos is a bit of a challenge because it limits how much I can present at once but I think the small bite size bits of information and being able to watch the video's in the order in which people wish is really good. A lot of people might not want to see the videos in the order I made them. More then likely mike next video is going to be on Discernment, followed by explaining how the economy is an intangible construct we have made and how that can empower us, and that will probably be followed by a video of Redefining Abundance. The inspiration is just not stopping and the sheer amount of topics I want to discuss and share is staggering.

A lot of people are seeking answers regarding synchronicity. When you experience synchronicity such as looking at a clock and seeing 11:11 or various other numbers (55:55:55 has been my most recent one and my last YouTube video was accidentally exactly 3:33 long) they let you know that you are in the flow.
Yet, do they carry another meaning and message as well? Does the universe speak to us in numbers and do those numbers have more meaning then a cosmic wink indicating you're on the right path? If the universe is created from data, as scientists say, then it makes sense there is a sort of numerical code throughout the universe. Numbers are universal. The numerical 3 means 3 in Japan, Norway, Germany, Brazil and the Ukraine. The universal number game of mathematics applies to everyone. Galileo said, "Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe." Different Number Systems Doreen Virtue has written Angel Numbers based on guidance from supposed contact with Angels. Which I don't doubt but I don't resonate with her numbers at all. The Jewish Kabbalah system also has specific numbers (up to ten) but again that's not something that resonates with this phenomenon for me either. The system that most resonates with me is the number system introduced by Dan Millman in the book, "The Life you were born to Live." In this book Millman explains how Life Path Numbers directly impact a persons life. You discover the number by adding each single digit in your birthday. For example mine is 7+5+1+9+8+2= 32. Then you add the 3 +2 to get five. So my life path number is 32/5. I'm going to only cover the first nine primary numbers with a brief description so that if you see that cosmic wink in the form of 11:11 or any other repetitive number you focus on that number and have an idea of what it means. I've never looked this up for this purpose before so this blog is going to be a revelation and a journey for me as well. So, let's walk this spiral of information and see where it takes us! Life Path Numbers 1 - 9 1: Creativity and Confidence - Bringing Positive Creative Energy Into The World. 2: Cooperation and Balance- Clarify the limits of responsibility and learning to work with others in the spirit of harmony, balance and mutual support. 3. Expression and Sensitivity: Utilize emotional sensitivity to bring positive, heartfelt, self-expression into the world. 4. Stability and Process: Achieve stability an security by patiently following a gradual process towards selected goals. 5: Freedom and Discipline: Find inner freedom through discipline, focus and depth of experience. 6. Vision and Acceptance: Reconcile high ideals with practical reality and to accept themselves, the world and the present moment through an expanded vision of life's inherent perfection. 7. Trust and Openness: Trust the light or spirit within and the process. 8. Abundance and Power: Work with abundance, power and recognition towards the common good. 9: Integrity and Wisdom: Live in highest integrity, align life with the hearts intuitive wisdom and inspire others. 0. Inner Gifts: Represents manifesting intensely. Strength- either in physical strength or endurance. Sensitivity- profound empathy. Expressiveness: the ability to communicate. Intuition: an inner feeling when making decisions. Conclusion I've always felt this system profoundly reflects whatever person or whatever is going on in my life. Let me use myself as an example. My number is 32/5. The number 5 was my primary life number. I had huge issues with freedom and independence. I had hugely controlling parents. Then it became a ex-husband who was totally controlling. I've had extremely controlling managers. I kept willingly giving my own power over to other people. I kept having this situation where I gave my power over to other people and their opinions instead of trusting myself. Once I realized different levels of inner freedom and that I have control over how I respond to other peoples desires...that issue has become less and less of a focus in my life. That's where the number 3 comes into effect. Expressing my spiritual beliefs and exploring these different subjects in my blog has been extremely helpful to me. I've discovered a way to express myself and complex ideas that were not accessible to people who did not study esoteric mysticism as I do. Heck, two years ago or even ten years ago I wouldn't even have been able to tell you that's what I do...study esoteric mysticism nor, for fear of being stoned, would I ever even remotely contemplate claiming to be a mystic. I'm learning how to convey my thoughts and ideas in a sensitive manner as well as just learning to express myself. Finally, there is tricky number 2. Ask anyone and you will find out I take responsibility for everything. I mean, everything. You would think on some level I thought I was the architect of the world and all of this was my mis-creation. I apologize when it's not even remotely my fault for something. I take responsibility in situations where it's not my job, nor my place, to take responsibility and in many cases at work that has led to horrible exploitation in the past. I continue to struggle with this as after being trained so deeply on how to be a good leader and manager it's natural to step into that role. As a result I tend to carry burdens that are not mine, judge others harshly for not being good leaders and worry about things that are none of my business. This is currently my greatest struggle, although, I think I've realized I need to let go of it and be a happy little pretend clone. Just so that all of the other people who would use me for their self-aggrandizement can find someone else to try and exploit. So, there you have it, how the numbers work and how I've seen them in my own life. Oh yeah, that 5:55:55 I've been seeing...tells me that I've hit that point of freedom and experiencing the universal flow again where my will is matched with the One Creators effortlessly fueling life forward in a positive direction. The 33:3 of my video is the essence of Sensitivity and Expression. They all tie in beautifully. Everything ties in beautifully because all are one. Oh, and if you're wondering about binary code like a snarky fellow on the Awakening Community today...just know 0 is ultimate unity of self and the One Creator...if there is zero it is a seamless integration. 0 is a place holder...and it does represent the absence of something (self?). Edgar Cacye, interestingly, had a 0 in his Life Path number. He was a master manifester and after looking into that I had a dream where I was asked, "Do you want everyone to be 0's?" The answer is no. A lot of people would really abuse the crap out of that power. Just look at Edgar Cacye's previous life where he was a gambler and used his ability to predict for the detriment of others. I got this book out of curiosity.
Scott Mandelker, one of my favorite people on YouTube who has done some amazing lectures and has a way of combining eastern and western philosophy that I completely dig had done a lot of videos on the different sessions of the Ra Material and has studied it for a great deal of his life. I decided to buy the book to read it for myself without Scotts interpretation of it to see what I thought of the channeled messages. The books are literally transcripts of the different channeling sessions. What I didn't like is that most of the first book covers aliens and the research of the two people who were most closely associated with the channeling. There was a lot of outdated information and typical UFO ideas presented in that part of the book that I just skipped over because it was boring and the majority of it had nothing to do with channeling. A fellow researcher apparently told them about the possibility of making the link to the Ra consciousness and that's how the channeling started. The channeling sessions with Ra of the Ra material lasted a very short period of time. The channel, Carla, however experienced a lot of discomfort. In every session, Don, the main investigator asks about her condition and how to make her more comfortable. That gets very repetitive after a while. While this book may fascinate someone who is new to the Spiritual Seeking path it wasn't really all that exciting for me. There were some fascinating ideas but too much of the text is taken up by asking how to make Carla more comfortable. Other ideas were not new to me because I've heard other channels say them in more interesting ways...I don't know if they read this material and that's where they got the idea from (I believe channels can be influenced) or if it just validates both material (which is how I do tend to look at it). Don, for the most part, being very left brained, doesn't seem to get the material that Ra is presenting. A good portion of the text is Ra correcting Don regarding particular aspects of his questions. What is clear is that Don was expecting an A to B to C linear progression of information on healing. Yet, what he got was more of the holistic picture which doesn't seem to be his original aim. As for the source of the information, Ra, the group seems to be very consistent with other channels and other information that I've studied. As for it's claim that it influenced Egypt and actually spoke to Akhenaten as a channel...that's a take it or leave it claim that doesn't matter. I've chosen to give Book 4 a try to see if it's a bit better but I don't recommend Book One to just anyone. This book is definitely something that only a few will understand or find anything of interest. There isn't much content here except for people who are really into the alien/channeling information and Christians in particular will be uncomfortable with some of the information regarding Moses. There hasn't been anything that disagreed with previous information and my three main sources for information so I'm not in disagreement with the material but there just isn't much spiritual material in this book.
I missed yesterdays post because I took a nap after work and it ended up being a 12 hour nap. That's why I'm posting today. While I was planning to write something else the news of Chester from Linkin Park taking his own life has changed my plans.
I got the chance to see them with Ross at a festival here in Los Angeles. They were a very energetic group. Chester was an amazing singer and his raw sense of presence when singing was spine tingling. First, if you're triggered by this, I'm sorry. If you are triggered with it that means there is a psychological red flag that you need to neutralize within your own mind. That's something you need to meditate on and resolve. So, being triggered is a good thing because it makes it obvious there is some mental work you need to do. Don't run and hide from it...deal with it. Linkin Park's music was always important for me. When I was going through a crisis back in 2005 I bought Minutes to Midnight because the music from Linkin Park just resonates with how screwy life can be sometimes. I didn't resonate with Chris Cornell so much but I'm really saddened he passed in the same way...hanging. Which is sad but I will give him an honorable mention here. My thoughts on suicide are a little bit different then most people. Most people, think there is just this life, and they see suicide as something really negative. Yeah, it sucks for the people left behind but at least the person who committed suicide is not in their emotional pain anymore. I speak from experience having once had those thoughts myself. I'm not being a hypocrite when I talk about suicide. I'm not telling anyone to do it because it hurts the friends and family that they leave behind but I do not judge the people who do commit suicide. This life sucks sometimes and sometimes you're dealt a really bad hand. There is a video of Chester having a conversation with a radio host that's being shared on Facebook. Chester explains that his own mind was a bad neighborhood. When he was doing for others it alleviated that bad neighborhood but he never could cleanse that neighborhood. I can understand that and he clearly could see the pattern but he couldn't see how to break the pattern. Everyone has a choice. Part of that choice is to do the inner work necessary to find peace in this life. The other choice is to find whatever release you can in abusing whatever works for you...be it sex, drugs, alcohol, food, gambling, dangerous activities like sky diving or trying to climb Mount Everest. Anyone who pushes the buck is usually some sort of addict and they are doing dangerous things for a reason. That's as much a form of suicide as the actual act of killing oneself. I understand why people commit suicide. I understand that Psychiatric medicine is trying to treat symptoms not the problem. The problem is finding a way to resolve childhood trauma and the even older trauma of Separation from The One Creator. Chester was apparently beat up and bullied in school. He was molested by a family member. I was molested. I've experienced psychological crisis. I could have fallen into drugs as a way to self-medicate so I'm not coming from a hypocritical point of view with all of this but from a point of experience of being on that edge. I don't see suicide as a cowards way out as the energy of this world is tough to deal with at times. The last week I've been in a relatively negative cycle myself and even snapped to an old negative pattern I didn't think I possessed anymore. I have a little elevated sight but I'm not perfect (nor do I believe perfect exists). Yet, it's identifying those patterns and neutralizing them that's so important. Sometimes what we see is not pretty. Sometimes that pattern is based on someone or something we don't want to be like. Yet, all of it can be overcome and forgiveness for the self as well as others can be found. We have to face our shadow and embrace it in order for that to happen. I'm sending lots of love to Chester's spirit in the hopes that he finds a place of tranquility in the afterlife. I'm also sending a lot of love to his family as it's hard to deal with the aftermath of such a tragedy. I'm saddened that he won't be here to share more heart trending songs with all of us. I'm thankful I got to see him perform while he was alive. I see that his life could have been tremendously more powerful if he had not given into the self-destructive nature of humanity. All of us have that seed within us and I think there is a deep meaning and reason for that...some people do give into it. There is nothing shameful in that and if you believe that we are eternal beings having a temporary human experience you can see that nothing is really harmed by his choice. I'm sorry he was suffering and no one could reach him. As the book Power Vs. Force, that I reviewed on Wednesday, explained it was only when Carl Jung told a drunk named Rowland Hazard that he needed to join any spiritual group he could find so he could witness a Miracle that Rowland discovered one. His desire to change is what caused him to find that miracle and help set a chain of events in motion that created the 12 Step program of the AA that continues to create miracles in the lives of millions. One of the most important steps of that 12 step program is surrendering to a higher power. The release and reversal of 'bad neighborhoods' like the one Chester held in his mind is nothing short of a Miracle when it does happen. Far too often there is a belief that prevents it from happening despite all of the money, help and love in the world. Just like Robin Williams, he wasn't able to reverse the pattern and connect to life giving energy to find that healing. I hope Chester finds peace and healing he deserves in the after life and he gets to experience all of the love that his fans felt for him. I won't dwell on how Chester died and I ask that you do the same. I will always remember him for how he lived and what he contributed to my life which was a deep understanding of the Dark Night of the Soul. I am eternally thankful for his existence and how he helped me with my own struggles. The book I'm reviewing today is called Power Vs. Force The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior by Daved R. Hawkins M.D., Ph.D.
I bought this book at the bargain bin at the Learning Light Center in Anaheim, California. The title and the back cover looked interesting, especially since I have a Psychology degree and the author is a psychiatrist. Then I opened the book up and it started talking about Kinesiological testing. This is a sort of muscle testing where you put your arm out and if someone pushes down on it then it's considered weak and a 'no' answer. When someone pushes down on it and it's a yes answer the arm remains strong. Thinking the book was entirely on that subject I left it in my book case for two years. Out of sheer boredom prior to buying books for my birthday I picked up this book and decided to read it. There is a lot to praise in this book but a few things I didn't like. The author claims to have reached a state of higher spiritual thinking. Where he comprehended Oneness. His story is interesting but at the same time very strange. His section where he was talking about his practice and how he healed people who were the system had given up on was also strange. The majority of the material that he has presented is 'backed up' by a Kinesiological basis. Apparently, someone else had established a level of validation and he uses that to back up his points. Too much of this book is spent trying to sell Kinesiological testing to be used with politics, to be used with marketing and a variety more. To me using something like this in marketing is a bit insidious as the statement made that has a strong reaction might not be representative of the product. That so much of the book seems to be selling that as a product is one of my major issues with it. I have seen the chart he uses in the book used in other places explaining the "levels" of peoples enlightenment. He states that most people, based on questioning subjects using the Kinesological basis operate at a 200 level of fear. His chart is in agreement with Malsow's Hierarchy of needs. I find it a very interesting point of view. He talks a great deal about attractor patterns. He has a very set idea of how people who are enlightened behaved, mostly talking about Mother Theresa and that they give their all to everyone else, but that's not always the case for all enlightened beings. Yes, most enlightened beings do no require much but not all of them manifest their beingness int he same way. Also, in his chart he makes the argument that the people who are CEO's or successful in business are further up the chart the other people. If one were to look at his chart alone and say that a person needed to follow what it contains to reach enlightenment...then each of us would have to be a successful business person and a business owner prior to reaching enlightenment because those are rungs up the ladder. I don't recall ever hearing that Buddha or Jesus were CEO's. So that's a misleading piece of information that just doesn't ring true. Nothing about the spiritual path should involve the income of the individual. Of course, his argument is that if you have a strong attractor pattern- based on what level you reached- you bring this to you naturally. The way he describes it everything is a holographic reality...a sea of information that we are constantly swimming in and when we operate at higher attractor patterns we draw these experiences into our lives. This is much like the Law of Attraction. Again, there are these nubelous "attractive fields" that we put out that attract good or bad events to us based on our state of being. Again, even though this author is trying to explain how this works he doesn't explain what the individual can do to attain that attractor pattern. I was also surprised by a good deal of what he wrote until he mentioned A Course For Miracles in the very last chapter. I find it interesting that this book made absolutely no sense until I read A Course For Miracles. There are amazing bits of information contained in this book and I can't dismiss it all. Brilliant statements such as: "The human central nervous system clearly has an exquisitely sensitive capacity to differentiate between life-supportive and life-destructive patterns. High-power attractor energy patterns, which make the body go strong, release brain endorphins and have a tonic effect on all of the organs; adverse stimuli release adrenaline, which suppresses immune response and instantaneously causes both weakness and even breakdown of specific organs, depending on the nature of the stimulus." This brilliant connection really suggests the author does know what he's talking about. My major criticism is that this is merely observation. Very little commentary on how a person can go from the fear based position to one of enlightenment. Yes, he does say most people are not interested in that and that is true. As he proposes if you walked around and asked people what they wish to attain in life very few would reply enlightenment. Yet, what's the point of observing if your not going to propose a way to help? I suppose that's why he's saying that using Kinesological testing would work. I will probably examine some of what he said in future blogs as meditations because the information is really interesting yet I wouldn't recommend this book for everyone. The language is a bit obtuse and overall it is very technical making it a little boring but that makes sense from someone used to writing research papers. This book was also written during the mid-nineties when it was a far more optimistic time than it is now. A lot of the information has that innocence to it. A fascinating book that does belong on the shelves of any Seeker merely the data he has gathered.
So, again this week I was a day late on getting out my YouTube video. Trying to smash most of the process into Monday ends up being a late night thing. This why I'll probably be posting the videos more regularly on Tuesdays as opposed to Mondays.
This week is one that I had a lot of fun doing. Although, it sounds as though I have a frog in my throat in the last part. I've had a strange breathing issue and cough the last few days. I literally have to breath a certain way, a bit deeper then I normally do, in order to keep myself from coughing. I'm not really sure where it's come from and my dream guidance has been murky when I sought it concerning the issue. The correlation between the Law of Attraction and the concept of the self-fulfilling prophecy has always been obvious to me. I guess it's because I read the secret prior to taking my Psychology classes that it was so apparent. I think it's interesting that something from the 'New Thought' group (which is relatively new) is actually proven by science. There isn't many cases where science and what most people call Metaphysics or New Age are in agreement. Yes, the way you think creates how you perceive the world. I'm building up to bigger and more interesting things. I missed writing my blog entirely, yesterday, and I apologize.
I wanted to write a short update about where I'm at on my Spiritual Path, the work of this blog and my YouTube channel. Blog Schedule Change Up I have officially ran out of pre-written blogs. I can't tell you how amazing that is and that shows the sheer volume I wrote in that two week period of sheer inspiration. The inspiration level hasn't dropped but it has switched gears. I have plenty of topics I've written down that I want to write about and writing, as always, is just a natural process. However, I'm finding the balance between writing blogs and also doing my YouTube Video's a bit difficult. The videos take a lot more effort then writing a blog. That said, I'm switching to post my YouTube videos to the blog every Monday or Tuesday. As it is now, I tend to post the blogs late Monday night because of details out of my control. That's why I'll be posting the blogs with them and about them on Tuesday. I'll be posting my Book/Movie Reviews on Thursday. My second blog post of the week will be on Saturday. Spacing out things a bit will be a lot better for me. I don't have a normal Monday-Friday work week anyways...so for me it will be nice to change it up. I'm really proud that I've kept up the schedule of writing as is...and with over 500 topics I'm very happy with what I've written about. This blog has been an incredible tool for my own spiritual progress over the years. I really want to thank all of you who regularly read my blog. I really appreciate it! Teach/Learning One of the most fascinating synchronicities that happened with the last set of books is still amazing me. I shared my review on a Course in Miracles this past Wednesday and I can't say enough how that has been a game changer in the way that I perceive things. Further, a lot of phenomenon that I experienced and that I had heard about was explained. I always get goosebumps when something I experienced that I haven't read about anywhere else comes up in a book I'm reading and it is undeniably correct. With the set of books I ordered what was really amazing was not only a very different view on what Oneness meant (which had been a very abstract concept before) but that in order to learn you have to teach. Now, that's a bit backwards from what we are taught. We are taught that in order to teach you have to be some sort of Expert in your field. In the case of spirituality you should be some sort of guru that went through some sort of training. That's not what I am at all. Yet, it's partly because of the agreement between A Course In Miracles and the Ra Material that in order to learn one must teach that has really prodded me to continue with my YouTube channel. That, along with a dream where and Arch, of all things, a talking stone archway...insisted I 'create a school.' Well, this YouTube channel is very much a school and I don't know what students are going to find their way to it but I hope to anyone who does make it to my channel. I find teaching the concepts that I learned from my perspective to be very rewarding. I want to help humanity as much as I can in every way possible and I have to say the results have been amazing. I am advancing spiritually in a way that I didn't think possible. Sharing them in this blog was one way but boiling them down to easy to understand lessons has helped me really grasp the concepts I'm sharing. Gazing INward I have had some amazing dreams and some crazy revelations over the last few months. In a way, they are extremely personal. Knowing that each of us creates our own subjective reality does hinder me a bit in sharing them with others. For one, I don't really want other peoples feedback on them. I really don't care what other people's opinions are when it comes to my own personal experiences. That may be harsh but where I'm at in my own journey I'm not looking to others for guidance at all. I'm searching some obscure places for confirmation of what I've experienced but nothing else. There is something magical about stumbling upon the experiences and learning what they meant after experience. The experience is a bit cheapened when you hear about it from someone else first.I know that sound a bit odd but I've never heard of someone's mystical experience and said, "I want to have that!" Usually, because I've had my own really profound experiences. Those are a broad range of experiences- from seeing an apparition during the day that was in no way human to amazing visions that I treasure. For example, one of those situations where I had instant validation and experienced goose bumps occurred recently. When listening to an interview on the Moore Show with Michael Feeley, (an ex-detective in Britain (http://michael-feeley.com/) I was blown away when he mentioned the phoenix when talking about Kundalini. Strangely, when I had a strong surge in my Kundalini the Phoenix was a HUGE part of that. Paul Tisdell (an Australian expert at esoteric Tarot) whom I befriended on Facebook was the first to explain to me that it had to do with Kundalini. To hear Michael Feeley connect the two made the experience even more real. At the time, when I was dreaming of the Phoenix and flying into the Sun, I thought I had totally lost my mind. Say Goodbye To Dogma The last vestiges of dogma that I carried from church indoctrination (which works through movies, music and books just as much as from going to church) have completely faded. At the end of the day, for me, Jesus is a very personal topic. I bounced back and forth with the names I used because I know his original name was probably Yeshua. I feel knowing the root of the religion is extraordinary important to give it context. Yet, as my friend Jennifer noted in her excellent blog (you can read it by copying and pasting this link: (http://observationsfromasimplelife.blogspot.com/2017/07/whats-in-name_15.html?spref=fb) it is just a name. Just like God, the name is not that important, it is just another name...I prefer One Creator because it invokes the Prime Motivator of all creation and leaves no room for the minor Gods such as Thor, Odin, Zeus, Athena, etc. Although, I realize that my past life memories are extraordinarily personal, subjective and may be in error...I can't shake them. The little Egyptian girl that I was in the past life where I saw Jesus and it spooked me right out of the regression can't be shaken. I 'downloaded' a lot of information from that memory that has stayed with me. The first is how red my skin was...and it was nothing like the Egyptians who now live in Egypt. I didn't know when I had that memory that most of the native population had been absorbed or murdered by the Islamic tribes that conquered and looted Egypt. Recently, ABC reported that modern day Egyptians share very little genetically with the ancient people who built the pyramids. In fact, many Ancient Egyptian mummies had 0% Sub-Saharan African DNA. (http://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2017-05-31/who-were-the-ancient-egyptians/8572076) The second is that when looking at Jesus across the street my thought was, "He must have a little Greek in him." He had beautiful greenish blue eyes. That flies in the face of everything that we are told today but it does kind of suggest that the paintings of him with blue eyes is correct. I also knew how I died in that life, although I did not see that, and I knew it was because I told people, "That's not what he said!" I was killed by the very first church....the very first church within a decade of Jesus's death in that life. If his teachings were being corrupted way back then...just thinking about the 100 to 200 year gap that exists in our record. So, my very strong impression from that past life memory is that right away the story of Jesus was retold and written down wrong...from the very first church. I've read the excellent book the Case For Christ...Yes, manuscripts written within two hundred years of his life probably contain a good percentage of truth. Leaving behind the idea that 'God's Word' has somehow been protected by him has been hard. The paradox of the question, "Well, if God exists why wouldn't he act and protect his Word?" was the biggest issue. That has been entirely resolved as I accept the unique ideas offered in A Course of Materials...which a dogmatic Christian would have a hard time swallowing...but are backed up by what appeared to be mysterious teachings in other cultures. Of course, the fact that some of the earliest manuscripts that we have hard copies of are non-canonical does help my argument. That means, some of the manuscripts written closest to the time of Jesus has been completely unaccepted by main stream Christianity. Primarily, the book of Titus. (https://www.jesuswordsonly.com/books/250-dates-of-manuscripts-that-survive.html). As with all things, the argument for Titus lies in that manuscripts written closest to the time when Jesus actually lived are probably the most accurate. Titus, strangely enough, is included in the FreeMason's Bible (one of which I inherited). Upside Down A new realization, really driven home by A Course In Miracles, is the idea of things being upside down. Something, latent in my subconscious became obvious. You can see in the drawings I posted above that I had this concept when I was drawing while during the Kundalini Awakening that I had in 2015. The inverted "Tree of Life" turned into a profound confrontation with the Phoenix...which I totally didn't get at the time but conveyed as best as I could through my artwork! The Egyptians insist that the world we currently live in is Upside Down in nature...upside down from the True Reality or Dimension to which we are tied. That is, if we were to view what we consider our reality from the plane of existence on which The One Creator resides...we have everything backwards. I didn't know what this meant when I first read about it in John Van Auken's Ancient Egyptian Mysticism. In a Course of Miracles it says very plainly that everything we consider about reality is not reality. We have everything backward...we think Spirit is a dreamlike world but it's not. That is the true reality and this is the dream. What do we have backward? We think we are our bodies. We think that this is the only reality that exists...that this is 'real' but it's not. We think the One Creator created our reality but he did not- because it's just a collective nightmare we are having in Spirit (I know that causes some dissonance to hear because it's so foreign to our normal human thinking but the bible- of all things- does suggest this...The One Creator puts Adam to sleep because he is lonely and wants companions. Suddenly Adam's in Eden...just think of that one! If someone did that in a movie now and was not so obvious all of us would 'get' that Adam was dreaming! Plus, it never says the One Creator wakes Adam Up- hence our Collective Group Soul/(un)Consciousness name would be Adam!). I know, I know, I'm working on a blog called revisiting Eden. This collective Nightmare is tied into our Perception which is not real but causes what appears to be chaos. (This ties in really nicely with what Laird Scranton says about the Dogon teaching, although, this level of it is not something he has every touched on but that is a whole other blog post I need to sit down and write). That is barest sketch of what I've realized in the past few months. What I've realized is that this blog is where I post my super advanced revelations as they occur...whereas I'm crafting my YouTube video from the small first steps I took years ago as a teenager. I had indications that this process of reversing the flow of energy was occurring before I understood what this meant...in one dream I walked into a room with a pool and the water was falling upward because I was there...and the teacher who was with me was freaking out making it really obvious that this was a very positive thing although at the time I did not understand it at all. I will also note that John Van Auken in a very well down lecture explains that reversing the Kundalini from going down into the Earth and back up through the chakra's as being an important part of the Spiritual Path. I didn't get it at the time and I had been directing energy down from the Spirit realms into my chakras...reversing that meditation has been amazing....but again that's a future blog post. Conclusion The connections between different schools of thought and spirituality continue to make sense. If they didn't I would know that path that I am on would be erroneous. Instead, I keep getting closer and closer to really understanding things. The closer I get to that bigger picture the harder I struggle to convey it into layman's terms so that the concepts are easy to grasp by a complete layman. I now realize that I use this blog to share the more advanced ideas. Interpreting and translating this information so as many people can understand it in an easy to absorb form might be an entire, and worthwhile, lifetime of teaching and I accept that wholeheartedly! There is good reason this information remained in 'mystery schools' these concepts are hard to grasp and convey ideas...that the majority of humanity has no desire of pursuing and make some people super uncomfortable. As I continue to explore these connections the more the ideas and visions that I so questioned as madness are being validated. Unlike when I first experienced the most recent surge in my Kundalini I've remained more grounded and able to deal with the energy as it comes through me...instead of a crazy ocean in which I was drowning it's more like a gently flowing river. All of us are Channels in this dream reality for the One Creator...that is what we are naturally in Spirit and even here our divine essence remains intact. The more we embody the spirit of the One Creator the more we enhance and bring up the level of all humanity...so all of us can exit Samsara as Buddha and Jesus both accomplished (Buddha at death and Jesus taking his entire body with him) I can think of no greater honor then to help facilitate the Awakening to our Divine Nature and identifying the origin of this realm with others. As I continue to research this further and deeper I'm ever more amazed at the complexity and beauty of the One Story of this realm and the One Creator. Do I have it all figured out? Nah. Do I have a lot of it figured out...more so then I ever thought possible. As most people who look at this stuff become jaded and dissuaded from any meaning or purpose to life...I find more and more. I find it to be a beautiful journey, but then I have the benefit of knowing my Higher Self sees this realm as Disneyland. I'm very happy with my spiritual path and the current 'ride' I'm on! I didn't know exactly what I was getting when I bought this book.
I didn't investigate it too deeply. I wanted to form opinion on my own without outside information. I had heard hints of it in a couple of interviews on the Moore Show. I'd seen some fascinating posts on the Awakening Community that I belong to (a sordid mess of people who can't really agree on what an Awakening is exactly but they're trying just like any of us to be a better purpose as the result). I saw the book was long, I bought the version with the Text, Workbook and Teachers Manual. I was curious why it came with such interesting titles. The title, A Course In Miracles, with the different book titles seemed simply odd. How can you teach someone to create a miracle? The I opened it up and began reading. No explanation is given regarding how this was written. No source was given either...not even an author. How it came to be in print in the human language is completely left out. All that is contained with the book is the strange words of some unidentified being that at one moment might be Jesus and at other times seems uncertain. I promised myself that if at any time it went against the other sources and fonts of wisdom I believe to be true that I would stop reading. Those sources are the teachings of the Buddha. The Bible. Edgar Cacye's point of view based on his psychic readings on the bible and Jesus. The Law of One material. Egyptian Mysticism as explained by John Van Auken based on the Book of the Dead. The Bashar Material. Also, Laird Scranton's material and the wisdom of the Dogon. As I've said before...I see a golden thread that connects all of these different Sources. If so many sources verify the same idea I feel that it must be universally correct. Well, I have to say that A Course In Miracles absolutely holds up. Indeed, it even provided answers for things that were not explained in other materials. I wish I had known about the Workbook containing daily practices so I could have started those from day one while reading The Text. I would recommend not reading the Teachers Manual until completely done with the text. Simply put, it was a beautiful experience reading a Course In Miracles. There is so much to be praised about the book. At times, the text can be a bit tedious and sometimes I thought a big epiphany was going to be explained only for it to be danced around. Yet, this may be because to completely flood a person with the truths contained in it all at once might be overwhelming. Instead, it gently unfolds ideas that are life changing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a Seeker. One of the things that I have been learning about has been Mercy.
This goes along with seeing the Divine within others. Even practicing that I felt it hard to let go of perceived slights and insults. We don't hear a lot about mercy in our world. In fact, the only place that I can really think of people talking about mercy involves God. Most notably, "May God have mercy on his soul." As far as having mercy for other human beings there isn't really much of it in the world. Human Behavior Expectations I realized this week that I have a strange set of expectations when it comes to human behavior in interactions. I'm not the only one by far. I see Memes about all the time on Facebook. I think it's rude if someone pays attention to their cell phone instead of focusing on the people that they are with or if they stand and talk on the phone while they are at the register...whether it's the fast food, the book store or the grocery store it's respectful to actually interact with the person you want something from. I'm with most of the older generation that thinks it's terrible to see a bunch of people eating lunch together and all of them are staring at their smart phones. Now there are some awkward group situations that I don't want to be in where I'll do that...and maybe it's because of this association that I judge other people so harshly for this behavior. In fact, I'm really trying hard not to judge other people but to show them mercy. Tables Turned I was in the situation where someone else judged me as being less then gracious. I've judged hundreds if not thousands of people for the same thing. I was trying to be nice and sympathetic but he took it the wrong way. Then he went out of his way to make it clear, in somewhat subtle ways so his manager wouldn't fire him, that he thought I was rude. I was trying to be nice, but at the end of the day I just rubbed him the wrong way. Triggering Attacks In one of the groups that I'm a part of they talk about this as being Triggered. This is a new psychological term that gained a lot of negative attention through the media. Trigger warnings on books for people who were sexually assaulted the trend. People reacted as though we shouldn't trigger other people...even though it's often times not as blatant as stories of sexual assault. Most people trigger others unintentionally and if we cater to every person that's triggered all of the time all of us would be walking on egg shells. Instead, it really should be the triggered persons job to deal with the unhealed emotions that cause them to be triggered. In society, as always, we have things backwards. Sometimes, just being your normal self will Trigger someone else. Miscommunication happens and it's just a mess. Something about your personality just doesn't agree with theirs... Either way, the person becomes emotionally triggered and attacks. In fact, most people react with an attack before the person can even trigger them just by looking at them. I've been guilty of this too..there are certain stereotypes that absolutely exist for a reason. M husband and I are usually stereotyped when we go to a restaurant. We look relatively young with a punk style and so we get a lot of servers at who ignore us thinking we won't leave a good tip. One girl, because my husband doesn't tend to wear his ring, actually ignored me completely, and flat out flirted with him even though she was way younger. These sort of attacks seem to be a normal way of human behavior. We attack because we fear that someone can take something away from us, that we can be harmed and that we can die. Yet, we are eternal beings that existed before we were born and will exist after. Why would could destroy what he created perfect? Mercy All of us have bad days. There are some people who never have a good day. They live in a cycle of really horrible days back to back with no end. That is their choice. Yet, even with those people with those terrible dispositions we need to have mercy. Everyone has gone through a cycle of time where they are simply miserable. Wouldn't it have been nice if at least other people thought nicely of us or wished mercy upon us? We can show mercy to each other. When we have bad days or if we misspeak wouldn't we want someone to have Mercy with us? Mercy is the most loving thing that we can give to another human being. Forgiving them for doing some harm we perceive. One of the ways we can unweave the bad habit of judging others is to realize we have unspoken expectations. Not everyone got the Memo on human behavior. In fact, how we expect other humans to act is such a muddy subject even Psychology has deemed it's study effectively inconclusive. Until and unless we create a Universal Code of Conduct to which everyone is required to adhere...we have to take all of our interactions with a grain of salt. Sometimes people have bad days. Some people have horrible interpersonal skills. Most people are terrified of one another. This leads to all sorts of miscommunication and perceived insults. Hiding This is why I can't judge the kids on their cell phone anymore. Living in an environment like schools are now-a-days full of intolerance so that you can't air your own opinion...it's safer to shut down and hide behind a cell phone. The fear of saying something wrong, which is highly likely with how sensitive people are these days, is not worth the attempt to interact. Everyone just minds their own business and ignores everyone around them. I get it because with that one guy I was trying to be nice to I wish I had just stuck to messing with my cell phone and completely ignored him. I probably would have had a better experience. I can't judge those kids in this really unhealthy intolerant environment we are creating in the name of tolerance. Shutting down is probably the best option least anything you say be taken out of context. == Sensitive People Sensitive people think they should be bowed down to...they have various issues that give them excuses for why they should be treated with kid gloves while being allowed to have a nasty attitude toward others. I have no respect for these people. They are intolerant of others because they see themselves at a deficit. People need to have endless patience with them and learn how to deal with them. That's their attitude. Yet, even with them it is great to practice mercy. They know not what they do... In their minds they are making the world a better place for people like them. They don't care about the greater society as a whole but whatever cause they are championing. I have mercy for them, I won't judge them because I understand there are a lot of variables involved. There is a lot of unhealed emotional trauma they aren't interested in resolving. Yet, I also know these are the people that you have to have very firm boundaries with...you forgive them for their lack of compassion, you have mercy upon them, you note they are suffering, but you let it go...there is no way to fix them. Someday, some life, they will figure out how to fix themselves. Humanity and the government still think they need to fix other peoples and groups. Humanity as a whole has not realized that it's each individuals personal responsibility to fix themselves. No one, but the person who needs to change, can change them. Such is an act of futility that has been done over and over again with society...mostly by governments trying to rule their citizens. Conclusion Most often, we only want mercy from an authority figure such as Jesus or God. We do not think that we can give the gift of Mercy to others...because as the Christians say what you do unto others is what the One Creator will do unto you. If you show no mercy to your fellow man why should the One Creator show mercy to you? Isn't that your one hope when you die...that the One Creator will have mercy for your misdeeds? I've learned it is powerful to practice mercy with other people. Hating is so easy, and especially in our society, when we have inconsistent expectations of behavior. One culture it is totally okay to treat a person with a customer service job like a piece of furniture. Yet, hate is not worth it. As I said, we are all the Body of Christ...we are all One Soul. Each time you hate someone that you encounter you're hating a reflection. You're hating something that you can't change. What you can change, however, is your reaction to it. Often times, for me, it's because I feel they insulted me in a low key way. I feel they have snubbed me. Since I have major rejection issues this instantly triggers me. I wantt respect and so I feel attacked. Then, most often, I react emotionally wishing I could attack them back. I always wondered why...even though I wouldn't hurt anyone ever... that was instinct. I realized it's because it's the normal mode of human operation. We attack emotionally out of habit. After all, it's a dog eat dog world so you better attack first for survival's sake! Having mercy, saying within my mind every time I feel slighted, "Mercy, mercy," is strangely empowering. Yes, some people have horrible dispositions. They simply do not make themselves lovable or likeable and it's hard to even look upon them without wincing they are so foul in temperament, poisonous in mind and behavior. Most of the time those are the people are so asleep emotionally and spiritually they are completely driven by their subconscious urges. Like animals, they are not aware of how they are behaving. Whether or not someone is consciously rude practice mercy. If mercy is what we hope that the One Creator will have for us...shouldn't we show it to the people around us? Seeing The One Creator
I've been practicing an interesting thought exercise recently. I noticed, that since gaining the freedom not to fear rejection from others I've been a little too harsh with them. I tried explaining in detail how I came to this practice and how it makes sense but the computer deleted it a few times. Essentially, when looking at someone I practice seeing the Divine in them. Divinity exists within each human being. Often, it is a seed that has not been planted nor grown within their mind. The potential of it exists, however, for eternity. When I am faced by someone that is, to my mortal eyes, ugly within and without I take a deep breath. Instead of feeling the need to attack them in some way with language or action...even when they insult me...I remember that they are a divine being. For me, I envision the face of Jesus as I imagine him to be superimposed over there's. I know that they are an aspect of the One Creator just as Jesus, Adam, Moses and all the rest are Aspects of the One Creator. Not a single person exists that is not part of the One Creator. The seed of their divinity might not have flowered just yet. They don't know who or what they are yet on there path. Yet, I can sit back and say thank you to the One Creator for showing me this new face of the One Creator. I can look at that person and know that it is the expression of the One Creator. I can marvel at what the One Creator has created. Some people are just really interesting character's. The creativity of the One Creator is astounding. The next time you face someone that is being unpleasant or rude...take a deep breath. Remember, this world is NOT *your* circus and other people are not your monkeys to direct. Leave that part of the action to The One Creator. Instead, marvel that The One Creator took the time to create the person before you so they are just as worthy of existence as you. The One Creator makes no mistakes so they are just as full of Potential as are you. See the divine in them even if they cannot see it. Conclusion I did not understand the concept that we are one body of Christ. I did not even understand the Last Supper until recently. I hope to go into more detail as to how all of that works exactly in another post entitled, "Revisiting Eden." In essence, each of us are the same being having multitudes of experience. You could call that being Adam or Jesus if you like because Jesus was the embodiment of that Group Consciousness. This is a very abstract idea. Yet, every time you meet someone in your day to day life it is you...meeting you. Yes, you are experiencing individuality but you are the same. It's as though two cells within the heart of the human being insist on being called different names. They have functions that work together and form the heart...each is an individual portion that is unique and contributes to the whole...yet, we call the entire thing a heart. So it is with every human being...we are one unit. Seeing the One Creator in all other human beings...whether you envision it as the face of Jesus, Buddha or someone else...is practicing seeing the divine within you. We each hold that seed, that essence that was made in the form of the One Creator...we just need create the correct environment in our mind for it to grow and eventually bloom despite all expectations. |
