I've written eighteen blogs but in my heart this is perhaps the most important one.
For this blog I ask that you suspend the traditional way of thinking for the moment. We've been taught that there are people who 'have talent' and people who don't. That type of elitist thinking will not allow you to absorb this blog so if it comes into your mind practice the mediation of labeling that thought as unnecessary and...dismiss it. There is a concept that I have nurtured for a long time. I can't really explain it...it's the idea that one person can make all of the difference in human evolution. We have seen this multiple times throughout history. We have seen extraordinary people shift the tide of human thought. Sometimes, that shift doesn't take root during that person's life. Take for example most of the famous painters in history. When they were alive most of them were poor and struggled to get by but now we consider them the great men of art in history who influenced the development and direction of art. They shaped art as we know it and never knew the role they would play in the scope of human history. One person can effect a huge change. Why Try? Too often people are afraid to try and change things. They think that unless they can inspire an entire group of people it won't matter. Too often they sit down on the couch and just start consuming what the "doers" produce. If anything, the rise of franchise's of this era show that the doers are struggling to come up with original content and stories. In fact, it's almost as though inspiration is drying up for the legion of families that have been entertaining the United States since the invention of the moving pictures (i.e. movies). There is always that doubter, the ego, saying, "Why Try? Why Bother? You're not important." Too often we assign importance to those who've already 'made it.' Other people, we rationalize, will come up with the latest greatest things and we just shouldn't even bother to try. That's someone else's gifted existence. They're special and gifted and we are not. Yet, throughout history it is not the children of famous people or inventors who offered the most to society. In fact, those people for whom all of the necessary social connections are already made usually try to follow the same formula of their parents. This is kind of like academics, where a certain way is learned and then practiced and taught ad infinitum... The problem with legacies is that they never really break new ground. Only the fumbling idiots that exist outside of the paradigm can stumble into new territory...territory into which the people who study the formal idea of it would never attempt. Yet, that's not the only reason you really should stick your foot out there and share any ideas that you have with the world. The image below is of one person, an unknown person, who is forever scorched into the minds of people around the world. He stood in front of tanks for an idea. The power of one idea can catch fire and illuminate the minds of many throughout the world. No one knows what happened to that man. The Mandela Effect people remember him being run over (as I thought had happened) but it appears he may have survived. He might have been killed in jail or he could be living an ordinary life somewhere. Yet, this is an image scorched into the Collective Memory of Humankind.
A World Of Ideas
There was a moment on my spiritual seeking journey that really shocked me. This was just prior to meeting my husband in 2007. This is when I realized that what I had thought was a solid part of reality was just insubstantial subconscious agreements we had made. When this paradigm shift occurred for me...reality shifted entirely. Everything was the same but how I perceived it was utterly different. I had to laugh at the absurdity of it all. This was when I stopped watching television because I didn't want to buy into the ideas people were selling. Take the idea of Money. Paper Money has no inherent value. Our economic system is an imaginary...and exists only within the minds of human beings. The idea of paper money having value is something that we as human beings decided to agree to as a group. Yes, one could say that it was government dictated but it's been an evolution. The first form of currency was cows. Cows, needless to say, would be hard to carry in one's pocket and exchange for a latte. Human kind went through a series of ideas that eventually lead to our current economic system. That system is not, however, solid in any way shape or form. The people in the upper echelons of society know it's malability...that it's just a thought form. Basically, it's made up. Thus, the economic and monetary system can change at any time...with a single thought being held by a few human beings. Yes, it is really that fluid and, yes, we really are that powerful. The problem is that no one has had a popular idea for how to change that system for the better. Until a large group of people agree with the change it won't happen. Now, more than ever, since currency is mostly tracked through computers...it's more imaginative then ever before...and it has only as much value as we emotionally assign to it. Most people are subconsciously agreeing to this system because it's been taught as solid and unshakable when, in reality, it is not. Currency is an idea and...a thought. Thoughts are intangible...and fluid in nature. Ideas are capable of change at a moments notice. Idea's and thoughts can be changed in an instant if people are willing to change how they think. The thing is so many in our society are holding onto old ideas. They are holding onto the idea that life needs to be hard. They hold onto the ideas that we must "earn" this money through blood, sweat and tears. They want their thoughts to be frozen solid, immutable, instead of being fluid. The USA is involved in a lot of foreign wars because they don't want the money system to change. The entire reason we are in Syria has to do with this and our opposition to China and Russia. Currently, the American dollar has a lot of value in the economic market because it is being used as the currency in exchange for Oil. This is the only thing that has propped up the value of the dollar of the USA for a long time. We are not an economic exporter of goods anymore...and should the value of the dollar fail our lifestyle in the USA will go down the tubes...along with the careers of the politicians who allowed the value of the dollar decline. You see, Russia and China have started to talk about an alternative currency to the US dollar for oil and that would be tragic for our country...and Syria is a Russian ally. Here we are killing people for an intangible imagined idea. This is the power of ideas in our world...which only exist in our collective minds...but we act it as though it's as solid as a wall. Yet, even walls can be torn down with a little exertion. Humans have entirely made up every system that we have ever been a part of...all of it is in the mind. There is nothing solid to the economy, school system or government. Yes, we can see the results of this way of thinking but that is all...the rest of it exists purely in our minds. We've just made it really hard to change things...it has to reach and exist within many minds before humanity decides to shift gears. Society is as made up as a game of Candy Land. Just as children change or teach the rules as suits them...the adult world can be altered and changed. We've just been taught that these rules are necessary and solid as a means of our own survival by some of the greatest sales men that have ever existed. Would society de-evolve into chaos if these rules didn't exist? I don't think so because we have a natural tendency towards harmony. Few of us enjoy chaos. Each Person Is A Small Piece Of The Puzzle In a world that exists primarily based within the intangible mind that is entirely made up of ideas... each of us is an important piece of the puzzle. Each of us is a reflection of the One Source...we are one small portion of the whole. Only when each of us is sharing our one piece of information that we contain, our ideas, can humanity be a full reflection of the Source in its entirety. I will write a more in depth blog of this idea in the future. For now, just meditate on this idea. Each human being contains an important seed, a portion of the reflection of God/Source. If only a few people are sharing their ideas then the Whole cannot be perceived in its entirety. Without the Whole being perceived....humanity is never a complete reflection of Source/God. This is the power each of us have and why it is so important each shares. Reflected In Movies One of the reasons I loved X-Men Days of Future Past was the fact that the character's reflect how it is so important for each person to contribute. The character of Charles Xavier who had given up entirely on hope after the failure of the X-Men has to hope again in order to avoid a war that will destroy humanity. The character Mystique has to be prevented from killing another person for the first time. Here is one of the most beautiful scenes where the younger Xavier (James McAvoy) and his older self meet (Patrick Stewart) and I think it speaks for itself.
Fear of Rejection
This is something I'm currently exploring while reading the book A Course In Miracles. Now this is a book I would not have picked up or believed to be accurate in anyway nine years ago. Yet, it is so in alignment with what I've learned and know that it appears to be authentic teaching from Source. Most of us fear Judgement and Rejection by others. This is one of the reasons it's so hard for us to share. Too many fear that sharing will lead to suffering. This stems from the fact that we think we are Seperate from Source (I've talked about this topic here:) We have, in effect, by being here on Earth rejected Source and think that we are creating on our own. Having Rejected Source we then project what we disown onto all of the people around us who are also aspects of Source thinking they have separated from Source. As I've explained such a Separation is not possible but we perceive ourselves as being 'alone.' I will explore this idea when I write a post on Lucifer, which might just be a tale about our own 'fall' or perceived 'separation' from Source. Either way, out of the fear of our perceived Separation from Source we project our fears onto other people. Believing that we are Seperate and alone...Rejection is something we fear most even though it us who turned our backs on Source/God. One of the most fascinating aspects of this is that when it comes to Elements....Earth Represents Fear. This school that we are learning from here on Earth is that of Fear. In the Edgar Cacye cosmology each of the planets represented some form of learning. Off the top of my head I can remember Jupiter was the Group , Venus Love and Mercury Extremes. Apparently, Earth is Fear...so we are here to learn from Fear and it's greatest teaching is that it's an illusion. What does an immortal soul really need to Fear? Too many Fear God/Source but that's another topic entirely. Too many fear being rejected or being judged by God but that's just an illusion of Fear...and it's not possible because as God/Source created everything perfectly God/Source loves his perfect creation and would never destroy that which is perfect. Conclusion Our world appears to be a very dark place. The people walk about like zombies seeking something...but they don't know what they seek. They try to fill that vacuum created by the lack of a direct connection to Source with material objects, addictions, obsessions and other people. Most people just accept things as they appear to be and they work with what they think to be true. To start questioning the ideas we are told are so solid...to realize that they are merely ideas...and that we perceive the world though the glasses of beliefs that we carry in our hearts...is an amazing journey. Examining those beliefs and discarding those that aren't true is a long journey but very much worth it. Even if I start a small amount of people on that path I have served a greater purpose. I don't expect everyone to go along this path in this life and reach the fulfillment of being free of fear and suffering. I do hope that it starts a series of lives where they can attain it. I can only pray that I help people turn back to the light of the Natural Order and Source I was pushed to create my blog. I felt like everything I was discovering was useless if I didn't share it. I couldn't keep it to myself. I really didn't understand this push. Just like I didn't understand the push for doing a YouTube channel. Why is it so important that I mush share all of this with everyone else? Why do I put my neck on the line so that people can judge me? In the end I discovered their judgement is unimportant. The only judgement that matters is that of Source and Source doesn't judge. The only person who judges is the soul themselves. That might be hard to swallow but I'll write a blog on why that makes sense. In order to learn, A Course In Miracles states, one must teach. The two are intrinsically linked. We teach through our actions and choices in every day life. In the Edgar Cacye material there is a reading given to a young man who was having a lot of spiritual breakthroughs on his own. Cacye stopped in midst the reading and warned the man that if he did not share it with others he would be creating a heaven all of his own that would be lonely. This another great reason why I share my own Journey with others. Each of us have a unique perspective of Source/God. Bashar uses the idea of people sitting around a pot on a campfire. On the bowl are images that tell a story. In order to share the story each person describes the portion that they see. If one person remains silent that story cannot be told. That is how we are here, this reflection of Source/God...each of us see a different portion of Source and each of us must share that portion with the others so we can have the complete picture. Without that sharing the entirety of Source will not be perceived. Each person is that important. Without your contribution Humanity would not be Whole. You might not contribute through words but art, through a unique form of music like the Piano guys featured in the video below, a unique style of dance, inventions or a thousand other ways...but the important thing is sharing your ideas. What good is an idea if you keep it to yourself and don't share it with the world? Each and Every Person Is Important. When I meet people or see people performing in some way...I marvel at the beauty of All-That-Is/Source/God...because I just learned a little bit more about Source. In this way, every day life can be a celebration of what All-That-Is has created. I think every aspect of Creation is absolutely stunningly gorgeous and I am in awe that I am a small component of that Whole. As an Aspect of Creation, a reflection of Source/God...you're included in that stunningly goregeous creation that inspires awe.
