Love is one of the most fundamental parts of creation.
That's one of the reasons why the path that most call 'the dark path' which is based on people loving themselves, always putting themselves first and trying to manipulate their way along the Path of the Seeker will eventually end up in the same place as those who work to elevate everyone. I certainly don't recommend the self-centered path because it takes them a lot longer to reach the goal. They are the ones who are going to be trapped in really long cycles. Often they are so trapped in their own psyche/ego/shadow complex that they don't even want to become enlightened or end their own suffering. They're too focused on trying to perfect the art of manipulation. Each path is sacred and each ends up at the same place. Those who choose to elevate the whole, to embrace their shadow, to love and forgive everyone will simply reach enlightenment faster. They're on the Fast Track to living a peaceful life. Once you realizing that everything is truly one...it's pretty obvious that it's not wise to pick sides. Of course, I'll still cast my votes during elections, but I also know that the results are not within my hands. Eventually, the struggle of satisfying the self by taking from someone else becomes a little silly. After all, if you embrace the fact we create our Subjective Reality it leads to understanding Unity...we are everything that we see and we are everything we encounter. We are the person who just cut us off at the traffic light. We are the little lady bug that we notice dancing along the leaf. We are the plant of which that leave is a part. We are the air, the dust, and the ashes. We are the ones manipulating light to create our own personal reality. There really isn't anyone else here. Just us, in this little hologram projector booth both running the show and experiencing it. We are Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz at the same time. That's a bit mind bending, I know, and I don't know if there is an outer reality beyond this booth that is actually real. I'm not sure if that's the Realm of Spirit and if beyond the Realm of Spirit there is something else. After all, Creation is supposed to be Infinite so there should be an infinite amount of realities that we can experience. To try to strive against someone else, to compete with them, and to act as though we are superior to them is a bit senseless when you embrace the concept of Oneness. A life of equality and where everyone is the same is boring. I'm not advocating that at all. I don't believe in a dystopian one world socialist future. In fact, it's learning the perspective of which someone else is living their life that there is great value in diversity. I love learning about different cultures and their values. Learning what they are value that's different from me gives me an options to refresh my own values. While are all one on one level that all-knowing part of us is not a part of this reality. We are playing down here as separate beings and in the process all of us are learning while the aspect of All-That-Is that is AUM (Absolute Unbounded Multiplicity) can learn too. So, diversity and individuality are absolutely necessary. In the end, the most important thing about love is it is the most fundamental building block of this cosmos. Love is what binds everything together...it's the sheer will of the Creator- of All-That-Is - for us to exist. Maybe it's Dark Matter. We are safely nestled in a little cocoon- not a prison or anything negative- but a place where we can experience as many cycles of being a human to gain the ability to retain individuality when we are outside of the flesh. There is a funny thing in spirituality where it's believed that we return to Source and then we get reabsorbed again. I've never understood that thought. Some people really wish to lose their individual sense of self. Others, on the other hand, think that we are going to continue to a life that is just like this one but without the suffering...where it takes a lot longer to die. The Hindu tradition confirms this and so do some channels. That's what some extraterrestrials are like and even Angels exist for a very long time without death but learn very slowly. Yet, the Creator holds all of them, all levels and souls growing at different rates without judgement. I can understand that because as a manager I had employees learn at different rates. Some mastered everything very fast, some mastered the register, some mastered cleaning and I never judged or belittled any of them. I simply knew where to place them to gain the optimal performance and I never required any of them that did not wish to master all of the different positions to do so...I placed them where they were happiest because it allowed the work place to flow the best. I think of the Creator as being like that...he lets souls sort out where they are happiest with their productivity towards individuality and lets things play out as they will. All the while knowing the most likely outcome. So, this wasn't a very organizing blog but just stream of consciousness. Thank you, Dear Brave Soul, for joining me on the Path of the Seeker.

Alight, so I kind of wrote a clickbait headline for this blog.
I prefer calling God the One Creaetor. I find that title to be the best because it means all creator God's every depicted are the One Creator by a different name. This is an inclusive approach instead of an Exclusive approach saying there is only one way to approach spirituality. I've explained why I chooe to approach my spirituality this way instead of choosing one religion over another. For me, it's just more inspiring to believe that they are all talking abou the same One Creator from different perspectives. Either way...no matter what job you do you can serve the One Creator. The Weird Competition I just want to take a moment to comment on the weird competition we have in the United States when it comes to the jobs we do. Often times, when I reveal that I have a Masters in Business administration while working as a barista people reply, "What are you doing here?" They are almost offended to find a highly edcuated person in what they consider a menial job. Well, I have my purposes but just because I'm educated doesn't mean I can only work certain jobs. If what I'm doing works for me...why does that suggest I'm not working to the fullest of my ability to contribute what I can? To me, these blogs and my YouTube videos have more value and can contribute far more then any job currently held important by society. Also, by being a barista I can be an example of what true happiness looks likes to hundreds of people a month and that wouldn't be an option in a job where I don't interact with many people. We value CEO's and Presidents and Managers more then we do the people we interact with everyday to get what we want. I think this is very sad. I can tell you for a fact the average Customer Service repreasentive- be they a manager or just an average worker- has a job that's just as difficult as the CEO...if not more so because they are usually peforming it with less resources and far less money or benefits. I really pray this focus on equating the value of the individual with their job title ends in the United States. Not only is it nonsense but it's illogical to think that everyone should be upper management. Serving God By Serving Others As the Bhagvad-gita states we are all fragments of the One Creator. We are all One with the One Creator. The One Creator is the fire and we are the individual tongues of flame...we are our own beings but we are still part of that Oversoul. We are simply taught the Illusion of Seperation. That's why why when Jesus says that the highest law is to, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind. The second is to love your neighbor as you love yourself." Mark 12:30-31 Your neighbor and yourself are a part of that Oversoul/Dinvine Peresonality that is God. That's why these two commandments are the greatest of them all. This is also why you have to get right with yourself before you attempt to love someone else and obey these commands. How can you love God with all your heart, soul and mind if you can't love yourself? The same goes with your neighbor, how can you love your neighbor as yourself if you hate or disown part of yourself? Humanity likes to split ourselves into teams and war with each other...but we are all One. To simplify envisioning this concept think of each person as a cell within a material body of the One Creator. In our physical body, the heart cells do what they need to do to make the heart beat, our lung cells do what they need to do to make our lungs process oxygen, the cells in our veins do what they need to do to transport the different nutrients to the different parts of the body that need them...each cell supports and serves the whole. In this way, every cell in our body works together to make one complete and harmonious unity of work that is our body. If those cells decide to rebel, such in the case of Cancer, the entire system eventually fails and we die. When we realize that we are One with the One Creator we have a priceless opportunity. We realize that every other person we meet is also a fragment of the One Creator. They are the One Creator, in every sense of the word, and our job should be to find harmony with that other person as best we can. They may be in a state of disharmony within themselves but that doesn't mean that we can't find a way to work with them in harmony. A Body In Disharmony When you look at humanity you see a lot of disharmony. You see people fighting over religion, race and territory. I doubt anyone who could look at humanity and say that we act as One. Too many are out for their own agenda. Please note, I'm not talking about Group Think where everyone thinks and acts the same exact way. We can't all be heart cells or all be lung cells...there are hundreds of different functions that cells perform in our bodies and they are all equally important. Each person, just like the cells in our body, serves a person and has a unique set of skills to serve the whole. If the bladder cells were to go on strike because they feel they are less important and don't like their job the entire body would die. Again, as I said, when we look at it that way it's analagous to a body that has Cancer. With a few bad cells the entire system is distrupted, those cells affect all of the cells around them and eventually that leads to death. Many believe that, as a race, we stand on the brink of extinction. Realisitcally, we've stood on the brink of extinction since the creation of the Nuclear Bomb. People today are more worried about climate change then the Nuclear bomb but this precarious position started with the World Wars. As Jesus states, "And if a house is divided against itself, it cannot stand." Mark 3:25 This goes with humanity, the government, companies and within the human body/psyche. That's where we are right now. We have elements that are in such disharmony they would like to annhilate the rest of us to create uniformity. They think that turning everyone into the same sort of cell will benefit humanity but it's a genetic dead end. By Serving One Person You Serve The Whole I shared my practice that I admit is a bit difficult. Yet, at the same timeit's so easy to apply in your life. Every time you meet a person you see the divine within them. Imagine that they are Jesus or Krsna, Buddha or Muhammad. Look at them and see, no matter how mean or rude or hateful they are to you, see them as that person you've always imagined as the ultimate teacher/divine figure. Know that at this time they are suffering and that being is sleeping. They just haven't awakened to the fact that's their true nature. Then treat them as you would treat that figure. Would you resent Jesus for asking you to put a little extra love, add a little detail into doing your job, or to make something a little bit more complicated? When you go somewhere and you are being served you do the same thing. If Jesus/Buddha/Krsna/Muhammad were behind the counter at McDonalds would you treat him like crap because he was a menial worker? Would you dehumanize him saying that he is not of value because he's a fast food worker? Would you treat them as though they were idiots? Each and every person that you meet you have an opportunity to serve. Whether you are serving them directly as in a server at a restaurant, a propierter of a store, a manager serving his employees, a sales person serving his customers, or a CEO serving both his employees and his customers...each person you encounter you have the opportunity to serve. You don't need to give them messages from the Spiritual world. All you have to do is show them love, compassion and treat them as the highly venerated individual that they are. The Story Okay, to get this you might need the story. The story goes that the One Creator was lonely. So, the One Creator created a companion. In the Bible this is Adam. Then Adam became lonely. The One Creator put Adam to sleep. Then he created Eve as a companion...and eventually all of us came into existence. We are within Adam's dream...we are fragments of the Divine Personality of Adam. Sometimes, it's called Krsna or simply God Consciousness. You know that pesky question, "If God exists why does evil exist?" Well, we create the dream. We created the dream. The One Creator did not and is not a part of it. Adam is essentially neutral, as Krsna states in the Bhagavad-Gita the Divine Personality knows that it's all these little sparks and doesn't hold any of them in higher esteem the others. As Edgar Cacye says we were created to be the Companions of the Divine Personality and The One Creator. Bashar, channeled by Daryl Anka, uses the metaphor of the mirror. The Divine Personality is looking intio the mirror... at an image of himself. That mirror is broken and each of us are the shards. Does this start to make sense? Do you see how insane it is not to treat your fellow beings with love and compassion? Can you start to see the insanity of selfishness? Conclusion When you realize what you are the idea of fighting others becomes sheer insanity. The desire for selfishness also becomes sheer insanity. Serving the self only in a dog eat dog world is also insanity because that's not truly the world we live in. In A Course of Miracles, in fact, the Divine Personality states that most of the people in this world are Insane. They all come from a state of insanity where they think this false reality- the illusion within the mirror- is real...and try to dominate everything else in the mirror. They've been given time and space from the One Creator to heal this problem. Once you realize how the system works you realize the only sane option is to serve all of humanity. You can serve all of humanity in whatever job you may be doing. You do not have to change or save the world on your own. Each person approaching their job from this place of a desire to serve the whole will find peace. That, in turn, will transform this world. You can do this in any job or mode of life. If you are a stay at home mom you are serving your husband and children. If you are a manager you are serving your employees and your customers. If you are in customer service you are serving your customers, your co-workers and your managers. All of it is serving the Divine Personality. This creates harmony and love within. You do not need to change anyone outside of you...you just have to change your perspective. Then you can serve the whole of humanity. Maybe you won't be viewed as the Messiah but we are each the messiah within our own minds. We can deliver ourselves from selfishness to pure love.
This video came about primarily because I meant to talk about atonement much as I did in my last blog.
What I found was that I really didn't have the foundation laid in my YouTube videos for someone to understand how I approach At-one-ment. Although I believe that it acn alleviate a lot of suffering if people look at that topic that way most people wouldn't be able to take that conceptual leap. I was going to follow the outline of my last blog on the subject but the video would just be too long. I like to keep my videos around five minutes...because who doesn't have time for a five minute video? This is one of those concepts that was huge in helping me to understand the world. As far as I'm concerned there might not be ably physical proof about life after death...but there is a lot of documentation and testimony. Heck, in India there is a part of the government in India that investigates and verfies the past life memories of kids. To me that's absolutely fascinating. I think it takes a level of wilfull ignorance to ignore the proof of life after death...not to mention reincarnation. When someone does study the subject there is an extraordinary level of consistancy. I used to love to read the individual stories when I was younger but I've read so many now it's a little boring. Since I was born with past life memories and feelings that carried into this life I know without a doubt in my own life that life in between lives does exist. Yet, that's a personal choice that each person must come to a conclusion on their own. A lot of this idea is based on the concept of Life in Between Lives and how that works. So, for some this will be extremely hard to perceive let alone swallow. For people on the Path this may be a revelation or it may be just an ah-ha! moment. As always, the meaning is in the eye of the beholder. I plan on posting Travelers Notes once a month. Currently, I'm working up to my approach to At-One-Ment and why it's a beneficial shift in perception. I hope that the concept of the Illusion of Seperation and why it exists helps makes sense of this world...so it appears a little bit less chaotic. I've been slowly getting used to the state of Oneness that I have achieved.
I can't teach, so much, how I reached this state of clarity. That seems a gargantuian task I'm attempting with my YouTub videos with no end to inspiration. The process was either two years or a decade with a hiatus at one point depending on perspective. I just read a book by Michael Feeley and it occurred to me this is the state most call entlightnement. I find it strange to think of myself as Enlightened but if fits. I still have no idea why I'm still on Earth so I must have more to do. I always thought Enlightened people would simply leave this experience. I'm aware that there is far more to this state then what I've currently achieved. Also, it's very different from what I envsioned. Far more simple, although, when I attempt to explain it...it seems complex. I also realize there are a lot of people like Michael who don't understand enlightenment and who are stuck on the Path of the Seeker. I learned a lot from reading that book, although, I don't think what I learned was the author's intent and I'll share my review of it this Wednesday. Utter Forgiveness There have been some fascinating changes in me due to this state of being. For one, I find that I have the capacity to absolutely forgive every person on this planet. Even the unconsciouable murderers and rapists and terroritsts. Yes, from one point of view it is terrible what they did. From another point of view...every person who becomes a offender was once a victim. They know not why or what they do so for that they must be forgiven. All of us have made mistakes in judgement. They thought they were doing the right thing on some level for them. I can forgive them and nto hold any hate in my heart for them but feel sorrow that they are so lost that they would harm themselves. I know this is hard for other people to understand. We are so busy defending our little scrap of consciousness the idea of someone taking or harming that is not welcome. Rightfully so, but there are always reasons. Each person is so unique you cannot reduce them down to an act which probably had a lot of stepping stones and warning signs before it was reached. Now, when I read articles about someone who committed a crime I just feel sadness. I feel sadness that person is so lost and so unlikely to find peace in our world. I do not hate them and I do not fear them. I know they are stuck in a cycle of learning. Yesterday, I saw someone stealing. I didn't feel hate or fear or anger at their action. They were not stealing from me and, although it was clear they did it out of selfishness, I just felt sadness. They weren't harming anyone. Our Police say that as long as people steal less then $1000 they can get away scott free so why should I fight that? Yet, I felt sad for him and his young son who is being taught the beginning of a life in crime. The feeling is different when you love them and do not judge them. I could not conceive of nod judging them before undrestanding dawned upon me. I cannot judge someone when I don't know their life story...why they are doing the things that they are doing or the repurcussians they may or may not face. I can feel sorry for them that they are so worldly they cannot perceive of another way. The Future Ten years ago I never imagined that people would be talking about the Annunaki. I never imagined there would be thousands of people on an Awakening facebook group. Misguided and confused as to what that might be, as I have been, I do see it as a very positive step that people are *trying*. The tiny group of people I knew that were interested in mystsic mysteries was so small ten years ago. A handful of people scattered across the globe. There is a bible reference to bread. Bread in the temple was very special. Each person in the community contributed a little bit of their dough. Then the bread was made from all of them together. There was no leavening because the people were unenlightened. There are two people who talk about cookies. One was Willa and another is a woman who works for the A.R.E. who gave a very good talk even if it was in error. They talked about how each of us on this path are like cookies. When you smell chocholate chip cookies when you come into a house your mouth automatically waters and you desire them. Each person who spiritually awakens is like the chocolate chip cookies...or leavening for bread. Not too many are needed to influence all of society because once people start sensing that different state of being they will want it for themselves. Also, the more people who pave the path the more access other people have. People are just now catching up to the cutting edge stuff I was into ten years ago. I can only imagine that if a lot of people are where I am at ten years from now the world will be a far better place. Service Oriented Society The mysteries that beings like Bashar teach are not so mysterious. As human beings we want them to be but they are not. A service industry society is where we ware going and this has already been predicted by economists and other people who like to follow trends. This is happening for a variety of very good reasons and should not be feared. Of course, this will require a wage increase for the people who are service industry jobs as opposed to the current state of things where they are the largest group of laborers with the lowest amount of pain. A market correction (recession) is undoutedly in the near future. As machines are taking the pressure off of us to do manual labor jobs that shorten the life span the longer people will live assuming the stress is removed of a lower income by raising wages. I see us having more time off and more time to spend with the family. Oneness Removes Division The other thing that I've really noticed is I can't really fear much. That's where I see people getting stuck in their Awakening. The find out the Government isn't out to protect them and they start believing all of these wild stories about how the Government is out ot kill them or keep them ignorant. From GMO's to fluoride...they don't really comprehend how the government works. Without citizens there is no capital and there isn't a country. Others are fearful of aliens that have 'been controllign humanity' casting the Annunaki and Orion's who are supposedly aliens (I've never met either so I can't say for certain) in this light of such power that they practically worship them as Gods which is moronic and if anything such ideas should cause the opposite response (a total lack of credability on the part of such beings for intervening with our race). Still more fear population control because of the Georgia Guidestones. Those guidestones written in hieroglyphics as well as engilsh and another lanugage are just some rich guys delusion. That delusion shows a complete lack of faith in the One Creator as though the population on this planet is a mistake...but if you lookad at total land mass humanity is a very small blip on the radar. Still more, and this is mainstream, are terrified for the planet. The planet wil continue even if we are not on it. That's another lack of faith that the planet has fail safes. The idea that we are so all powerful that we could destroy the planet is hilarious. I think I've named all of them, aside from war, but war is just awful so that's a legitimate thing to dislike. I'm not fearful of a world war. Unlike the governments who fail to comprehend their citizens...I believe we have moved past that in a lot of ways. A draft would not go over well for any political party anymore. Defending the USA is one thing but to go to another country and try to do what we will...that's totally different and no other countries with their organized armies are attacking the United States. When people start talking about a Global Elite that has hidden the secret of the Kundalini Awakening or our Spiritual Birth Right...I just have to laugh. No, no they haven't. When I read a book like Michael Feeley's I know I get it...but I know the great deal of the population will look at that and see nonsense. Oh, and don't forget the Flat Earth conspiracy. Talk about a great example of subjective reality and how a consensus can come together and create their own. The same thing, of course, can be said about the Mandel Effect to a certain degree. There is a very specific thing that happens as you hit that point of no return when it comes to the Awakening. At that point most of what you say sounds like utter nonsense to everyone esle around you because of the divide from a person who is going through an Awakening an those who are asleep is so huge. That divide in lanuguage in understanding is the reason why the Freemasons and Rosicrucian Order were developed. People going along the Awakening path are like Hansel and Gretal....oh here is a piece, or here is a piece...finding their way home. They can only be given so much at a time because the cognitive disannonance would be true great if they heard the full truth all at once they would be unable to comprhend it. That's why I'm creating my YouTube videos. I'm bridgeing that gap between the two...speaking in layman terms and keeping things as simple as possible. I've retained just enough knowledge of how I once thought when I was extremely Worldly to be able to talk to those who are Worldly and explain concepts so they can understand. I use the terms and ideas they have found to be acceptable, mostly psychology which is considered legitimate science at this time. Conclusion The future is bright indeed. Humanity has been being spoon fed information since the fifties or sixties. Identifying the reason and cause is unimportant. I see a future where people don't have to work so much to make so little. I see a future where more people are enlightened then at any other point of time in our history. Simply some of the movies coming out indicate this...and also a divergence. One set of people are becoming more and more service to others. This group goes with the One Creator's will much as a person rowing a boat down a stream. They don't fight the currents but work with them to make the journey more pleasaurable. Another set, as they discover how the world works, is becoming more service to self wishing to create a world that conforms to what they think is perfection. At some point, these two will become invisible to one another. That's, more or less, what's been promised in the New Age, New World...or whatever you may call it. I see no Apolocalypse in the future...that is just part of the Awakening proecess where your lower self- your lower centers- are at war with your Higher-Self or higher chakra centers. Once those two are balanced and you've made a choice in one direction or another...everything changes. I hope you enjoyed my vision of the future. Have a wonderful day. (The photo above was taken by me at Vernal Falls Yosemite National Forest in California).
One of the ways that people have been programmed when it comes to life is that they see everything that bars them from what they want as an obstacle. Part of this has to do with the Ego that sees everything as a fight for dominance and wanting to attack anything that opposes it's will. Yet, that's not how it has to be in life. We can see things as opportunities for growth and not obstacles. When you learn to 'know' yourself and that you are One with Source(God) Always...everything else is just water under the bridge. There are temporary eddies and flows in the experience of life while the bridge remains the same. No one gets upset that the water flows below a bridge. We know that the water is constantly changing...but the Bridge, apart from a flood, remains unchanged. Until we build that Bridge to Source with our Mind we are beholden to riding on the eddies and flows...upon the rickety ship of an Untamed Mind. Wants and Needs At a certain point on the spiritual path you discover that are already total abundance and we already have everything we need in the moment. When you realize that it's natural that everything simply flows naturally. That's a way of living where you are at one with your environment and the rest of the world. For now, I don't expect people to have reached that point. Psychology talks about Wants and Needs. Even educating oneself on this topic you can learn a lot of good information. Often people don't even know what the difference is between wants and needs. In the United States we live in a country of abundance where even the 'poor' have smart phones worth hundreds of dollars. Most people want items because of the status that it will give them believing that if they are valued by others they will find value in themselves. In such a society when even minor set backs, such as a broken screen, occurs the people see everything that 'sets them back' as wrong and evil. This is a misuse of will power and perspective. Maslow's hierarchy of Needs is a very good tool. The basic rungs, which many people in other countries can't attain, consists of shelter and safety. While safety can be subjective (a multi-millionaire in a gated community may not feel safe) it is a fundamental need that has to be met before a person can work on an inner path. As long as we are seeking safety not only will we probably not find it but we won't have time to do things such as Yoga or Meditation. Those are luxuries that people who live in a war zone do not have. For most of us who live in the United States when you make an assessment of your life you find that most of your most fundamental needs are met. Maybe the unrealistic goals society has set or the formula that's put forth as the American Dream hasn't been met...but for the most part in the United States we are overwhelmingly abundant. We have everything we need to start the inward journey of hte spiritual path and what more, is there really, that we can want? If we are so busy chasing the 'latest and greatest' trying to obtain some sense of perfection by obtaining something on the outside...then we won't take the time to work on ourselves. The greatest direction of any Spiritual Teaching are the words, "Know Thyself." Work A lot of people would prefer not to have a job. How much easier would life be if you could just stay at home all of the time? Yet, that is not how our society is set up. In fact, people have a plethora of choices when it comes to vocation even if they don't have a degree. There are a lot of jobs out there. The Natural Order is that we work to provide sustenance for our bodies and shelter. From the days of agriculture, through the industrial age and into the technological age that is the way it is naturally. Everyone can contribute and work. Yet, the problem is most people do okay at a job they hate. Most people think that's the natural experience. There are a multitude of reasons that people might hate their job. They may dislike a certain person. They may dislike their schedule. They may just not like going to work every day. Whatever their reason...it's their perception of their job that's the problem not the people that work there, the managers or the job itself. Yet, if people just framed it differently their job could add a lot of value to their life. Work, and being around others is always an Opportunity to learn more about yourself. As I explain in my blog Seeing God In Others (http://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/seeing-god-in-others) every time you interact with another person you learn more about yourself and God/Source. To me it is an excellent opportunity to learn more about myself and humanity. Every interaction is a test, to see who patient, kind and loving I can be to my fellow human beings. The Angry Person We've all seen them. Sometimes you encounter people who are just angry. They seem to come from nowhere, and because your a stranger, they can take their anger out on you. This most often happens when you are working somewhere because people see service workers as robots that are programmed with the mantra, "The Customer Is Always Right" or, "The Customer Is King." I see these people as a challenge and an opportunity to rise to the occasion. No matter how mean or rude they are I treat them as I do everyone else...I ask them how their day is and if they don't say it was good I ask why. Even if people say their day is "okay" or "fine" I comment, "Ah, but not good?" Usually, I can reach through that turtle shell of anger to the softness of a person and offer them some positive energy. I give them a choice to continue to be angry or be a little bit more positive. Sometimes this doesn't work. When it doesn't work I don't beat myself up because I know I tried my best to be of service and help another human being. I know it is entirely them and I don't take on their negative energy. Each time you interact with a person, if they haven't done the work necessary, you are dealing with all of their unresolved past baggage. They are projecting onto you the issues they had with their parents. They are projecting onto you the issue that they are having with their boss. They can't tell their loved ones, boss or coworkers they are mad at them or yell at them because they are afraid they will experience pain. So, they disown that pain and project it on people that can't retaliate. Setbacks We've all faced setbacks...sometimes it's a financial set back and sometimes we just don't get what we want. We go to the store and the particular item that we want is sold out. Yes, we could whine complain and stomp our foot we did not get what we wanted and fate is cruel. Yet, if we think outside of the box we might discover something equally desirable that might fit our needs better then what we went to buy. When my husband and I were looking for houses we saw a really beautiful house. The fence was terrible but we put in an offer for what we thought the house was worth because we would have to repair their fence. We were sad when the owners were insulted by our offer. Then, we found a really awesome house that was much better than the one that we put in an offer for...and it suited our needs far better. While we could have dwelt on the failure of one of our first offer...it turns out that it worked out and the house we bought was a thousand times better. This is what happens most of the time. We set out an intention, we set our eyes on what we think we want...but the universe provides something far superior we might not have considered if our first attempt hadn't failed. When we don't get what we want it often means there is something better for us. When Plans Fail When our best laid plans fail it is often for a reason. While I would never ever want to go through the loss of my Daughter I can see a rhyme and reason. I was knocked off my career path completely...and I returned to my spiritual path to amazing rewards (three years later and after a lot of traumatic struggle). I could have become lost in the fact that the plan to have children had failed. I could choose to never get over that failure and just to throw in the towel on everything else. I could let that failure define my life. Instead, I see now the flaws in that plan and how if it had worked out I might not have found the place of peace in which I mentally now reside. I might not have met all of the wonderful people I now work with and the best friend I've ever had named Jennifer. Often times when our plans fail we don't consider that there is something better just beyond that Dark Night of the Soul...and when you are in the depth of that failure and mourning that failure it is hard to see the forest for the trees. Yet, from a Higher Perspective, there is a rhyme and reason. Letting go of expectations when you make plans is a very hard skill to learn. That intention that you set might be your will but it has to be delivered through divine timing....and sometimes you receive something better than you can imagine in a way you never would have imagined. The problem is that it involves a very deep Trust of God/Source/All-That-IS to bring what will serve you best into your life. A lot of people don't have that trust. Either they think they are some how responsible for creating it or they hold a belief on a core level that is out of alignment with receiving what they want. Often, that core belief is one of unworthiness. I thought that it was a major setback when I accepted my current job. I was no longer in management and I was extremely humbled. Yet, in many facets it was the perfect job for me in the moment to find healing. Devils Advocate We all know that person who likes to play the Devil's Advocate in our life. We just don't like them and for all intents and purposes they are playing the role of an enemy in our life. Devils Advocates, the people we find most challenging can be our greatest teachers about ourselves. When the lesson is complete they should leave our lives. They also represent the best opportunity to hone our interpersonal skills. If you go by the idea that we are all reflections of the divine they are just as divine as you and I. They might not be aware of it but that's usually because they are suffering. Those who are not joyful are those who have yet to learn or accept the Oneness of Life and so are in a state of suffering. Yet, how else are we truly tested? If we cannot find a place in our heart to love even those who think of themselves as our enemy we will never understand them. We need to understand them because they are a faucet of the divine and are also an aspect of ourselves. What we hate in others is what we hate in ourselves. The only reason we despise others is because we disown whatever they represent to us. I know someone who is extremely undependable at work. I know that I am undependable in social settings...with most friends...so, we have that in common. She disappoints co-workers and lets down her team...I let down people that are friends who want to share their life with me. At present, I have not learned how to heal this particular aspect of myself but I know what her presence represents and she is an opportunity to learn how to better flow within unpredictable situations and interruptions to my normal routine (a recent theme in my waking life). By working with these people we can learn to overcome our shortcomings that they reflect. When they are judgmental, hateful, condemning or nosy we can see that we prefer not to behave that way. Then we can start applying what we've learned in day to day life...when the opportunity arises where we could pronounce judgement on someone we refrain. Just as Jesus said, "He that hath not sinned cast the first stone," (John 8:7) we cannot pass judgement on the people who represent obstacles in our life because at some time or another we have done the same. These people can be our greatest teachers and often they have a soul contract with us to play the role as a catalyst. We also know that, "You reap what you sow," so on some level at some time they will pay for the experience they are creating. They will, one day, be the victim of the same evil that they use against us...it might take a while to get back to them but energy always find it's way back to it's source. If we can manage to be the better human being...more honest in our communication with them, as patient with them as we would be an unruly toddler, and more understanding of the reasons for their failures...then we know that we truly have overcome the vindictive and spiteful nature that seems to be inherent to the Ego and the human condition. Every time we are able to turn the cheek in understanding of the suffering of the person who incorrectly uses their will power upon us...we show that we are deserving of the same compassion and understanding when we do stumble. With the law of karma, what we do unto others will be done unto us and usually magnified as warranted by our act...because energy always returns to it's source. Any time someone uses their will power upon us they are sending an amount of energy. The only time that effects us is if we accept that energy. There is a old story about a samurai master that was floating around the internet a while back. In it a young man went to the dojo where the samurai was teaching. He went to the Master and wanted to fight him. When the master declined he called him names hoping to incite his anger so that he would fight. The master ignored him. Eventually the many left but the samurai master's students were upset. One asked him why he did not fight. He explained that Anger was a gift that the man was trying to give. He chose not to receive that anger and so the anger remained with the man. We all have the choice to receive negative energy or intent from others. We can choose to be patient and loving instead. They then keep their energy that they were trying to project. Taking on other people's energy is taking on their burden and it is a misapplication of Will Power. Our reward for being tolerant, compassionate and loving with even those who choose to be spiritually ugly aspects of humanity is a testimony to our relationship with Source/God/All-That-Is. Every person we meet offers the opportunity to know the Divine a little bit more. Sometimes, they are not connected to Source and they manifest something terrible but then we can see it as a lesson on suffering. Conclusion Seeing Opportunities for growth as opposed to Obstacles can be a bit tough. This requires a great deal of spiritual and emotional maturity. As long as we haven't deal with our own baggage that other person might trigger us. Once we have worked through our beliefs and emotional baggage we can really see the person. That person is usually suffering Double Mindedness and suffering. Insane people never know that they are insane or illogical. This also requires Trust in the Natural Order and God/Source/All-That-IS. Yet, once we train our mind to see set backs, failed plans, angry people...and all the seemingly random bad things in a more positive framework the entire experience changes. We then find all of those things that we would label as 'bad' and that we would say made us a 'victim' were opportunities for self-improvement and self-knoweldge in disguise. These opportunities include a chance to demonstrate our patience, our good will towards others, our love for our fellow human beings, our compassion and our understanding. We may forgive the individual for being the way that they are because it is common in our world. Yet, we can still judge them by their actions and choose if we 'take them home with us.' Mostly, when we encounter negativity in others, such as an angry person, it's best not to take on that energy. We acknowledge it, we work with them trying to shine a more positive light into their day, but we let it go once they walk away. Yes, their actions might have been wronged but, having been there ourselves at some point in life, we know that it's just a product of their immense suffering. I apologize that I did not post as I usually do on Friday. I had the opportunity to visit the Learning Light Center for their Easter Psychic Fair. I experienced a wonderful healing, bought a Lapis Lazuli pendant and some organic honey. I'm posting this a day early and this week will start posting Book Reviews on Wednesdays. My backlog of already written posts are growing so large that I've been neglecting that aspect of my blog. This is one of the most complex and abstract subjects that I have come across. I credit Laird Scranton's books on the Dogon and Daryl Anka's Channeling of Bashar for helping me to conceive of this concept. Once I was able to wrap my mind around this concept a lot of metaphysical teachings became very clear. How is it possible that we are one with God yet an individuality? I have come to accept this concept on a deep level as the Rabbit Dream that I explained back in January indicates (http://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/bunny-dream-interpertation). There is Only One There is only one being here. There is only Source/ All-That-IS. That we are separate is an illusion created by Time and Space. We all exist within a collective of thought. The reason Earth is so special is that we can so quickly create and explore our own individuality on this planet. By not being in direct contact with Collective Thought (Source) we are able to experience and develop our own individual energetic pattern. Then we can retain this when we are on the other side of the veil. Character's In A Book Metaphor To best understand this we can think of God as the greatest Author ever. Think of your favorite fantasy book or movie. Let's look at Star Wars...Luke, Leia, Han, Darth Vader and Chewie are all aspects of George Lucas. Are these the multiple personalities of George? Is he really split into all of these different characters? Yet, through his movies he explored the human condition through these characters...like little avatars in his personal universe. You can apply this to any author and any author will tell you that yes...these character's we create start off as a reflection of ourselves. We experience life through them, we gaze through their eyes based on their unique circumstances and experiences...and then at some point they become reflexive characters that we can tune into but have their own individual personality that is so much more than than what we originally assigned. Just look at Anne Rice and how she talks about the character Lestat, that he breathes in her ear and is very much alive for her...yet, one with her. This is, from my limited perspective, is what God/Source/All-That-IS is doing with us on Earth. We start off as aspects or abstract concepts. Leia started off as just a Princess who's world is destroyed but by the time we come to episode eight she is a multidimensional character that is so much than that first description George Lucas wrote and even evolved so that other people wrote about her. Imagine creating your own world and then realizing that it actually exists. If I were to magically walk through a door and appear in Merosis it would be amazing because I would know all of them are aspects of myself, yet, separate and compete individuals. To me that would be just as amazing as walking into the Star Wars universe. This is how there can be One but Many at the same time. Shards of the Same Mirror This metaphor comes straight from Daryl Anka channeling a being named Willa. He explained that her book was named, "Shards of a Broken Mirror." Meditating on that is when I really understood the metaphor. Think of God/Source as being on one side of the mirror contemplating his own reflection. The reflection is completely shattered showing different fragments of the divine's image. Some are parts of this chin, some are parts of his ankle...etc. Each individual is a broken shard of that mirror. We each reflect back a different aspect of Source/God. Yet, are the reflections of the shards in the mirror really separate from God/Source? No, they are but reflections and perspectives of the Whole but they are inherently one and they are all reflections of the One Source. Different Aspects of God Interacting When working with my dream's, after reading Kevin Todeschi's Book (Dream Interpenetration Made Easy) I realized every character that I interacted with represented an aspect of myself that I needed to work on...then I had a huge epiphany. They say every person that enters your life presents a lesson. I realized that this is how it works dreams. Every character you encounter in those dreams are a part of yourself. I realized that this meant that all of the people I'm interacting with in the waking world are aspects of the Divine. They work in a perfect harmony and unison so I am faced with different lessons I need to learn. Sometimes, I'm faced with something in myself that I don't like so I try to reject the other person. In other cases, I'm just present to show some very lost beings a different way of living. Maybe they take it to heart and start living that way or maybe they don't. Yet, if I do not role model proper behavior (as all natural leaders do...there is never a do as I say but not as I do in a genuine leader) they might never have the possibility of waking up to the idea that they have another way they could live...and they could make better choices. Through this perspective I realized that every time I interact with a human being I am interacting with a part of God/Source. Each is their own unique aspect of the Creator but they are just as valid expressions as I am This and That This is another concept taught by Bashar channeled by Daryl Anka. How can we be individuals and yet one with God? We can be both because this realm is just a reflection of Spirit. We were given Free Will so we could become companions to God/Source, which was lonely. I think we can all relate to that in some way. Yet, nothing can exist outside of Source/God. That is a bit of a paradox but it does make sense that when we cross over (a.k.a. die) we actually return to that energy and that collective mind. We only really experience that sense of separation when we are in the flesh. Some go through some terrible side effects because the sense separation and lonesome is painful. Yet, that's how we develop our own distinguishable individuality. That's why we build here, in this physical realm, our individuality by exploring what we consist of and measuring ourselves against obstacles. We learn more about ourselves in the realm of opposites and separation because we learn what we do and don't like. We test ourselves. Hall of Mirrors The people you draw into your life reflect you. The people you drew into your life five years ago or even a year ago might have been totally different from you today. That's why there is usually a constant cycle of friends leaving and friends arriving in your life. Life is fluid. Nothing is meant to be stagnant and remain the same and a lot of people are like stones unwilling to budge. The few people who are fluid and flexible enough to remain a friend as you develop are worth their weight in gold If you absolutely hate everyone that is around you...there should be alarm bells ringing in your head...because this shows that you hate yourself. We are working within a hall of mirrors...there is only one person here. Every person we meet is our self reflected back to ourselves. Let's go back to my author metaphor for God. To George Lucas, Han was his rebellious side. Luke was his more sensitive caring aspect. We know those characters come from the same person...the same Author...and we know they need each other. We see Han being taught by Luke that there is more to the Universe...that the Force exists. We watch as Luke grows into manhood because of Han's influence. This is how two aspects of the same being can learn from each other. I will go more deeply into my blog titled 'Seeing God In Others.' Conclusion This is a simple and sweet concept yet it is so fundamental. In Egyptian Mysticisim John Van Auken explains in Ancient Egyptian Mysticisim, "Before the creation the Egyptian God Nun (or nu) was all there was...the God Atum was self-created and began the creation within himself...Also, in the book of the Dead the "self created" God is asked, "Who is this?" and she answers: 'It is Ra who created names for his members and these came into being in the form of the God's who are in the following of Ra.' This is the reference to the beginning of Soul-Groups, each following in or reflecting the first cause or impulse that brought them into being. Those conceived int he following of Ra are of the same soul group and would have similar goals and perspectives on life... From out of the un-manifested God came God the Creator (Self-created). God the Creator conceived co-creators, or the godlings. From out of them came "the Millions." The Original Great Creator then gave souls to "the millions. The plan is very simple: Whoever magnifies the Creator's qualities, the creator magnifies them. Its an interrelated network of Oneness and Manyness, of Wholeness in which separateness may coexist. The ultimate gold is to subdue one's sense of separateness by magnifying the Creator's wholeness, thereby becoming one with the Whole whole knowing oneself to be oneself. " Just today, Laird Scranton shared a post on Facebook explaining one of the concepts he's studying, "In Buddhism, Purusa is the name given to masculine energy that comes together with feminine energy, Prakriti, to catalyze material creation. Adrian Snodgrass describes the Buddhist personification of the concept of Purusa as "the first form of the supreme Brahman" who "knows divisions and thinks himself composed of parts." A likely ancient Egyptian counterpart to the term is given by Budge as the word pursh, meaning "to separate". [see Budge, p. 235a]" Another poster explained that the same concept of Pakriti and Purusha. Again, we find the unmanifested unchanging feminine Goddess (Parkriti) and the manifesting God (Purusha). Here is an article on the Buddhist concept (http://www.hinduwebsite.com/hinduism/essays/the-true-meaning-of-prakriti.asp). My point here is that we find this in every tradition. We find the same concept in Adam and Eve...first there was just God and then he created Adam and Eve in spirit. As John Van Auken points out there are two points where Adam are Eve are created. First, they were created in Spirit and then they were created in flesh. For me, when I see the same story told over and over in many different religions it becomes apparent this teaching is from the Original Religion that so many claim was given to us from supernatural sources. While I am not in any place to say what that source was I think a valid argument has been created that it exists. I want to note a few things prior to getting into this one.
1. Normally I publish my posts on Monday and Friday. Today I'm breaking that trend because I think this message is timely and I'm actually excited about sharing this interpretation as I've already shared the dream. 2. I will be writing a blog about why Ross, even though he is a skeptic, is the best partner for me. I want to explain how he came into my life as well for those who can't seem to make room for the right person to come into their life. I'm retooling a blog I wrote on the subject already but I will post that blog Valentines week. 3. The synchronicity of both Wolverine and Beauty and the Beast coming out this year and being associated with a Grand Cycle of Time is a bit bigger than I first thought. The Hopi believe that the latest "World" is that of the Animal. In both movies...the characters have the choice to give into their Animal natures...or choose compassion. The next World of the Hopi is that of the Human. * * * I've decided that I want to share a dream and the interpretation that I had because I realized how powerful the message was and that it might have some value to others. As far as I'm concerned all dreams are personal dreams, often times it is our mind crunching data but sometimes I do believe messages from Spirit that can apply to everyone can come through. The perspective that this dream provides about current affairs is what really matters. What I do is not special. Receiving messages from Spirit is something anyone can do and we all dream. All of us have access to the most perfect consul and font for answers every night (or in meditation). Yet, I realize not all people will allow this in their life unless they see someone else model the behavior. So, hopefully by sharing this with you it will move you to start seeking your own answers within. I didn't realize that this Message from Spirit might be valuable to anyone else until I told my mom about it. This has been a strange phenomenon that I have had recently where I don't really comprehend the depth or meaning of a dream until I share it with someone. The Dream A friend of mine from work, Mikey (who I consider to be extremely left brained and logical) had loaned me a DVD. If I answered the question on the DVD correctly I would be granted super powers. As I gave it back to him I said no, I had not been successful. We then went inside to try to solve the puzzle as a group. As we watched we had to count the people wearing red shirts. That was the question that we needed to answer in order to get 'super powers.' We watched the DVD on a small fuzzy tube television. At one point where the video turned into black and white video footage of two football teams. Mikey pointed at the screen enthusiastically, "Here's the trick. This team wears red jerseys so everyone on this team counts as wearing a red shirt." He tapped the screen every time there was a player for that team reaching a mind boggling number very quickly. I retreated from the room. I don't like math games because I have dyslexia and it messes with my ability to track anything but prime numbers (1-10). I was not happy that this "trick" was being employed. What happened if a person was color blind and was trying to answer this puzzle? Then it hit me, I knew the answer in the dream (As I was watching myself from a third person perspective I did not 'know the answer'). I told everyone in the room I knew the answer. Bill Styhe, the actor was there (to me he represents self-assured authority) and he asked, "Are you sure because I think I have a really good guess." I said, "No, I know the answer!" I raced outside the house. By the front door I encountered a Brown rabbit. I told that rabbit for some reason, "I know the answer?" "Do you?" the rabbit asked doing the Pepe the Frog gesture with his hand upon his chin. "Yes, it's One!" "No, choose again-" The bunny replied. I picked the rabbit up refusing to back down. "No, think about," I told this talking rabbit as though this was perfectly normal thing to do, "we are all one at the source. Every person on that DVD is one at the Source level. The answer is One!" The Rabbit smiled and out of the corner of my eye I saw there was a gray jack rabbit that had been hopping clockwise around a white stationary rabbit. The gray rabbit came to an abrupt halt as I said this and looked at me with the most incredible powerful expression. The white rabbit continued to sleep (I reviewed my journal of this and mistakenly thought it had woken up). I realized that I, holding the brown rabbit, the gray rabbit and the white rabbit were all in perfect alignment. I had answered the question at the exact right moment to allow for this alignment. I realized this indicated that I had answered correctly, I was very excited and the dream ended. Dream Interpretation 1. The DVD represents the story that we see in the world. Most of what was on the DVD were news stories or narratives. Interestingly, we could experience it more than once (replaying the DVD) until we came up with the answer. The narratives and stories were a distraction from the main purpose of the DVD. 2. The Riddle: I believe that God/Spirit/Source (whatever you want to call a higher power) is always testing us...have we learned our lessons? 3. Super Powers: I imagine the reason why you would want a super power is because you feel powerless and to help other people. That didn't seem to be what aroused my curiosity however. I like meditating on riddles and puzzles. 4. Mikey, to me, represents someone who is very left-brained. This is an aspect of me, not the actual person that I know...and what this was saying is that I was looking at the issues in the world from a logical linear perspective (which doesn't apply to emotions). 5. Red Shirts: Immediately when writing this I thought of two things...First, the Red Shirts in Star Trek... the joke is that extra red shirts on away missions usually die. The second was Republicans (we associate them with red while democrats are blue). So, I knew this partly regarded the emotional struggle we see in politics going on in the nation right now. 6. The black and white "trick." Right now a lot of people are trying to see the politics in this country as "black and white" or "Good Vs Evil." (I had already learned this lesson). I realized the division into teams was an illusion...a distraction. Too often we over think about things and attach meaning to events that, quite honestly, aren't there. 7. Bill Styhe, as I said before, reminds me of assured authority. You know that one person who seems to think they very much know the answer to everything. He asks me if I'm sure about my answer as though doubting my ability to discern the answer. He only has a guess but he thinks that his guess is more valuable than my answer. This is the part of me that tends to give my personal power over to a strong male authority. 8. Bunnies- My first association is to Easter and Resurrection. My second association when meditating on the subject caused me to refer back to Laird Scranton's book "The Cosmological Origins of Myth and Symbol." A feature of the bunnies that I focused on was the bunnies whiskers twitching for some reason...and on page 48 of the book I read this, "An example of his kind of adopted symbolism is illustrated by the symbolic assignment of the concept of VIBRATION to the image of a hare or rabbit." So in my mind, it is clear, Rabbits represent vibration. 9. The Significance of Three: There is a huge significance to this number. To me this represents the Holy Trinity (in Hindu it would be Brahman, Atman, and the Individual ) and the Spirit, Mind, Body complex of humanity. To me these are reflections of each other. On a different scale it can also me my Mind, Spirit and Source. On a different scale it represents the Higher Self, The Inner Child and the Ego. 10. The Brown Bunny. This one represents my earthly body self...I'd say this is actually the Mind or Ego. This is the one that really doesn't see the bigger picture. This one tried to tell me I was wrong. Maybe, because of it's limited vision perhaps it didn't really understand or comprehend my answer. Yet, it did that smug Pepe the Frog look...so it also has an element of the God Kek (which I don't fully understand). 11. The Gray Bunny: This one would be the Soul level...it stopped what it was doing and looked deeply at me with a sort of deep penetrating Wisdom I've only seen one other place- A past life regression where I saw Jesus. When it stopped Time seemed to stop (it was jumping in a clockwise motion). To me Jack Rabbits are tough. They are the "Doers" in the world of Bunnies. On the level of the Buddha this would be Atman. On the level of psychology this would be The Higher Self. At the same time this is the Soul level. 8. The White Bunny- Source. This would be the Brahman level. 9. The three being in alignment. By realizing that we are all One at the level of Source (represented by the White Bunny) I caused the Gray Bunny to stop hopping around the White Bunny. The three in Alignment suggests that Mind, Soul and Source will's are in alignment. Also, on a level that I didn't realize until today with the bunnies representing Vibration it means that I am in alignment with my "true" vibration (I'll attach a video by Bashar to kind of clue you in on what that might mean). What Does It Mean? The general message is that the apparent division that we see...the battle between Good and Evil that so many focus on in our dimension is an illusion. At the Source of all life there is not Good or Evil. There is no dressing up and playing Jedi vs Empire. All of this is just an illusion...when we are looking at these details we are seeing the trees but not the forest. This apparent division that we are seeing offers a tremendous opportunity to us consciously. Will we give into our Fear...which will lead to Hate and Suffering? Yet, what is compassion? How do we find compassion when we are feeling threatened? The only way is to see the bigger picture, the deeper meaning and purpose of it all. To realize the division and the suffering is all an illusion and this life is the story we are telling ourselves. Too often we go to the news allowing them to narrate and make sense of it all for us...but do you really want the world they are trying to sell you on? A world based on fear, lack and competition? Can't we tell a better story? The Light Side and the Dark Side is an illusion. We are all shades of Gray...To me Black and White television shows always appeared as shades of gray. Trying to sort out what color is what in such a scenario is pointless and useless...it doesn't matter. That's why the answer occurred to me in the dream. At the end of the day all of us are One. Solving the Riddle I was able to see the bigger picture, as it were, and realize that what this is all about is learning that we are all One. The process involves inner work and integration but the work is simple if you are willing to be honest with yourself. This deep soul searching should lead to your ability to love yourself (not that way sicko!). Okay I made you laugh...but really, before anyone can truly love you...you must learn to love yourself...that is the very first step on the path. By realizing that we are all One, by realizing that all of those people in the DVD are One Being Divided battling themselves...I loved all of them. With that realization my Mind, Soul, and Source (or those other three which represent the same concept) came into alignment...my Will was the Same as Source...I had tuned into the vibration of my Higher Self (also sometimes called Christ Consciousnesses) and Source. Within that space there is only love and infinite compassion. Deeper Meditations on the Dream You can stop here if you want...we are about to go into the depths... All of the questions and answers I've ever had are in this dream. Right there, if you have the eyes to see them. So simple and so obvious but so hard to accept at the core of our being after the multitude of games of fear and rejection that we play on Earth (In Alchemy Earth = Fear....the very name of our planet is FEAR!). One Being divided...of course Source does not want us to fight one another. As we find peace among ourselves so too does Source. What we are playing out here is a very very small part of the Cosmos (remember my Mountain Top dream) so it's not that all of Source is this way. Just our tiny little corner of the Multiverse. What we see reflected in the world around us is what is also on the inside. Are we not owning some aspect of ourselves? Are we letting Fear rule us? What we reject in others is what we reject in ourselves. If someone calls you a liberal cry baby....they are denying their inner emotional weakness. If someone is rejecting you because you voted for Trump...it's because they fear 'Change, Chaos, Uncertainty.' Anyone who's had their life torn out from beneath them knows that sometimes we must be reduced to ashes (metaphorically!) before new life can burst forth. The rotten fruit fallen from the tree becomes compost and then feeds the tree so that it may bring forth new buds. This is a natural cycle of "death" (change) and "rebirth" (also change). We just choose how dramatic it will be by how much we resist it and try to hold on to the old. Surprising to some, new is often better...because it represents growth. This is a fundamental part of the experience we agreed to when we came to Earth and to try to disagree with it is to Argue and Deny/Reject Source. Why fight Source, why try to swim against the tide...instead of learning how to swim with it? We come to Earth to learn a multitude of lessons. One of those lessons is to be Individuals our own individuality while simultaneously realizing we are One with Source. We are both. We come from a collective consciousness in Spirit...we don't need to create it on Earth (this is why Group Think is so terrible). What other way can Source create companions for itself? Life As A Dream Alright, and deeper we go... Think of life as a dream. Other people in Dreams are Aspects of ourselves. They are whatever we associate with them. Mikey has his own identity in the waking world. I can't even begin to know what is going on within his mind. By identifying what he means to me in the dream (left brain thinking) I learn about myself. This, on a much larger scale is what God/Source is doing...that's why we were created more or less. WE are God, we are Aspects of God, but we are individual flavors of God. He assigned us different gifts and abilities. He experiences through us...and solve it's own paradoxes through us (please note, that there are three "levels" to God conscious in my paradigm/that I can perceive...the part that we are, the part that is active (learning/Christ Consciousness), and the part that is latent and all knowing. To borrow from Colette Baron Reid think of it as a Cell...there is the Cell Wall (Brahman/Source), Cytoplasm (Active Part/Christ Consciousness/Atman) and us (nucleus)). This is why life can be a metaphor and experience at once (why the Bible can be literally true and symbolic). The flow between these three elements, that are all one but know themselves to also be separate, is fluid. We are the dream and we are the dreamer. At the basic part of this is an encoded aspect which is why 3 pops up so much and 7 pops up so much. This is a very interesting dynamic, delicate and gentle Partnership with Spirit (Christ Consciousness) and Source...a sort of intuitive trusting dance. We can learn to swim with the tides of the Source and the Flow of the Higher Self....and suffering is alleviated. I hope this helps you or at the very least causes you to think. I had two videos attached to this post but I see the one by Bashar has been taken down (happens every time I post one that's not from Bashar communications). If you look into Bashar's work he talks about how by following your highest passion you will tune in with your higher self and find 'a reality that is more alignment' with your true nature. The other video was Peter Woodbury of the A.R.E. but I also found a quote in John Van Auken's book (he also belongs to Edgar Cacye's A.R.E) and in it he says, "To know yourself as yourself and yet one with God." That's the epiphany I have suddenly reached in my life. In a recent exchange with people about the "Mandela Effect" a woman stated in explanation of the phenomenon, "We all exist within the mind of God."
This statement confused the heck out of the person we were trying to help who was very upset with the idea of the Mandela Effect. I've covered what I think of the phenomenon in my Time Lines Blog. That it is not really that important in our day to day life if we are switching between Timelines. That we can take the knowledge of such events as proof of the Creators existence and our own Multi-Dimensional Spiritual nature. When contemplating the statement, "We all exist within the mind of God," it also reminds me of the Holographic Universe idea that Science has put forth. For a time, I thought about writing a blog on that subject and then I realized that these two concepts are very much intertwined. When I responded to the women that made that general statement much to the confusion of the person we were trying to console I explained there were layers to the concept. She seemed bewildered and I realized that her conceptualization was far more simple then my own and perhaps she didn't know how exactly it may work. I don't know for certain if my perspective is correct. I cannot offer proof. Yet, it is on an internal level that this idea has brought me great peace and understanding. I'm just going to explain my perception of how we 'exist within God's mind'. This is what makes sense to me and it is what really changed my perception of the world, myself and the Creator. In my mind, the holographic universe (and there are lot of people sharing how that may be and what it might mean out there so I urge you to do the research) and the "Mind of God" are one in the same. Neither is something to become paranoid about on any level. So Tiny As To Be Effectively Hidden "According to the Dogon Priests, the central point of the figure is actually conceived as another very small circular space, which is where the Dogon Creator-God Amma is found. ALthough this idea is not spoken of in public, Amma is considered to be so small as to be effectively "hidden" and is understood to be dual in nature (from one perspective, Amma is interpreted to be both male and female). To underscore these points, the plan for the Dogon granary shrine provides that a small cup holding two even smaller grains be placed at the center point of the shrine." (pg 30, Point of Origin Laird Scranton) Bashar explains that there is only one infinitely small point of light travelling really really fast that forms all of creation. That one point of light could be described as the "creator" because it is literally creating All- That- Is. I believe that this small point of light or energy is actually smaller than the quantum level. This is also referred to in the Jewish mystical group, the Kabbalah, where there is a hidden "God" in the tree of life. In Quantum Physics it has been proven that photons, which are really really tiny, act in "Spooky Ways," according to Einstein. The fundamental building blocks of our reality do not behave as Scientists thought they should. They can't find a rhyme or reason why a photon cut in two separated by miles can somehow remain connected to the point where they can share information. In another instance, the photons in the Slit Experiment behaved differently when observed. Recently, in a book called Edgar Cacye's Story of Jesus he explained that when he was in that trance state, he saw a small little ball of light ascend from his body...this, I take, to be his soul. This explains orbs, they are spirits as we are, on a soul level created in the image of the All-That-Is. How All-That-Is can be so tiny and yet so much at the same time is a bit complicated but Laird Scranton captures it well in a few of his books which I will go into in a different blog. I believe that "All That Is" exists on a level that is even smaller than the Quantum level and the Quantum level is essentially the Dream Weave or the Template level through which our reality is formed. This is how, All-That-Is forms everything in our universe, including us, and at the same time because it encompasses All-That-Is retains it's own individuality. Vibration and The Dream Weave There is a website that explains some of the basic concepts that Bashar teaches about how the "Physics of this World" work. In it there is the statement, "All Things Are The Same One Thing Vibrating At Different Rates." In this paradigm to reach the the life that serves our Highest Purpose we simply need to tune into the right frequency to interact with the reality we want. This allows for infinite universes, infinite versions of us and infinite timelines. This also demonstrates that we can control, or choose, the timeline that suits us best (although, with the splitting of the prism some timelines might not become accessible). The way that Jamie Sams describes the Dream Weave is similar. By every action we make we weave a strand into the Dream Weave. We are consciously putting out energy that shapes the world that we perceive in our day to day life. Physics seems to capture this idea with String Theory. This suggests that there are Strings that vibrate. Some of the Threads are entangled (meaning they pass information to one another) while some are not. I have not studied this idea except in passing but it is interesting that Physics has a theory that seems to reflect the idea of the the Dream Weave. Laird Scranton gives examples of how the Dogon teachings actually represent this idea. In Native American and Dogon traditions it is a mother spider that weaves these strings or the web of life. In Egypt is the Goddess Nieth. In Greek mythology it was three old women called Fates. So there is a lot to suggest that the fabric of the our reality is woven by cosmic and perhaps elemental forces. Finally, it is possible that it is in this level that the "Spirit Realm" or what we experience in between lives exist. Here is a description from Journey of Souls by Michael Newton: "Dr. Newton: Do you see the spirit world here as made up of a solid structure? Subject : That's what I'm trying to explain. It's not solid, although you might think so at first. It's layered- the levels of light are all woven together in...stratified threads. I don't want to make it sound like things are not symmetrical- they are. But I see variations in thickness and color refraction in the layers. They also shift back and forth. I always notice this as I travel away from Earth." For more examples and explanation of what the Dream Weave is or this level of existence please refer to the section titled Dream Weave in this previous blog: http://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/shift-deviation Reflections of the Creator So far we have one self-aware infinite point of light that exists outside of time and space in which everything happens in one moment simultaneously. All histories, all realities and all future realities in an infinite amount of universes and infinite amount of timelines. This point of creation is the creator or All-That-Is and it is conscious of itself and all of it's creation. Then we have the Dream Weave or the Template level of creation. This consists of thousands of vibrating strands that we literally weave with our beliefs, intentions, desires and interactions with others. We could say that this web is the way through which we use all of the information offered by the creator to create our own reality along with him. Yet, what are we really? Well, the Ancient Egyptians knew. The following is from John Van Aunken's book Ancient Egyptian Mysticism and its Relevance Today. Everything "The Egyptian Book of the Dead actually carries the hieroglyphic title, "The Book of the Master of the Hidden Places" or "Coming Forth By Day" pg 2 "In these earliest times, the many gods of the Egyptians were unique children of One Great God, the Source of All Life....Even in Genesis the plural Form is used as the name of God, indicating that the One was composed of many, and the many contained the Universal, Omnipresent One. Ra, as a great god as he was to the ancient Egyptians, was not the ultimate deity, but a projection from out of the Ultimate Unseen One. The unindividualized Most High God would be considered the pure disk, symbolizing God's unindividualized nature. God was seen through It''s creation- not directly, for It was not seeable as an individual- but very similar to St. John's concept expressed in his epistle, "No man has at any time seen God...but the Begotten of God has revealed Him. Before creation, the ancient Egyptian God Nun (or Nu) was all there was. Nun is infinity, nonthing, nowhere, and Darkness. In Gensesis, Nun would correspond with the verse, "Darkness was upon the deep," which is followed by, "let there be light." Within the Darkness, the god Atum (or Tem or Tum) was self-created and began the creation within itself. Atum literally means "no to be", meaning unmanifested, not personified, not born. As written in the Papyrus of Pepi I, this was "Spirit, still and formless, who bore within itself the sum of all existence. This is similar to the Hindu descriptions of Brahman and Atman. According to the Hindus, God has two aspects: One is the unmanifested, unmoved, unchanged, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow (Brahman); the other is present, active and with us (Atman). Atman is similar to the concept of the Logos or, "The Word" or the "First Begotten of God" which begins St. Johns Gospel and by which 'All Things Were made." "Nun and Atum could be considered the feminine and masculine aspects of God. Nun is the womb of the Mother God, dark, silent, yet latent with the potential for creation. Atum is the projected aspect of the Father God, actively involved in and with the creation." There are several texts in which the ancient Egyptian writers are clearly speaking of a singular God. Their apparent polytheism is due to their proximity to the original creation in which the created and the Creator were still one. The God had given birth to many godlings. The original, wiser, ancient Egyptians were not polytheistic." (pg 5-6) Further, explaining the polytheistic nature of the Egyptian God's and that it doesn't mean that Egyptians originally believed in multiple God's here is a breakdown of what the word "Giza" means by Laird Scranton in his Book Point of Origin: "...None of Budges words for Giza offered me any real insights into the possible symbolism for the word, but I was also aware that Dogon and Egyptian cosmological terms often seem to combine predefined phonetic root words to create more complex terms. I turned my search toward the two phonetic roots of the word, gi and sa. Gi is an Egyptian word that refers to a "high place" or a "terrace" two attributes that can be seen to define a plateau. The term terrace is used as a cosmological key word in Buddhism to refer to a stupa shrine. Sa is a word that Budge defines to mean "Knowledge deified." Taken together, these phonetic roots convey a meaning of "terrace of knowledge deified," a definition that seemed wholly appropriate to the likely symbolism of the Giza plateau." Given that both the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx are at the Giza plateau it does indicate that's where knowledge was symbolically stored in stone. As I've stated before, The Great Pyramid Timeline by John Van Auken explains that there is a timeline within the Great Pyramid. Further, as the above passages of Egyptian Mysticism by John Van Auken indicates the different God's of Egypt actually represented different states of matter. The Creator is actually, "One composed of many, and the many contain the Universal, Omnipresent One," and he is, "The Hidden One." This goes right along with what I've already written about All-That-IS being a single point of light at one level of existence and how on our level of existence God is everything, barely perceptible to our science, but always there and within us. We simply exist within god and can never be separated from him. Reflections of God So, God created Godlings. We are those Godlings. I've also stated before that it is our soul that is in the image of God and not our body. Here is a description of what the soul body looks like from Journey of Souls by Michael Netwon who specializes on In Between Lives Regressions: "Dr. Newton :Do you see these people as familiar people on Earth?" Subject: I...have a sensation of their presence...people I knew... Dr. Newton: All right, keep moving along. What do you see next? Subject: Lights...soft...kind of cloudy like. Dr. Newton: As you are moving, does this light continue to look the same? Subject: NO, they are growing...blobs of energy...and I know they are people!" From the Website summarizing some of Bashar's basic principals (http://iasos.com/metaphys/bashar/#Blueprint ) there is this: "Every individual is a self-aware, self-reflective free-will entity - a holographic representation of the Infinite Creation." Conclusion I tried to make this as simple as I could even though it's a huge topic. I have given many examples of how it works, how it is hinted at throughout several cultures, and it may be a subject I have to visit many times. Yes, in a way we are all within the mind of the Creator and the Creator is within each of us making up the very fabric of our beings. We are also mini-creators learning how to create through our lessons that we learn here on Earth. That way, one day, we will be companions to God with our own individuality and perception of ourselves as individualized aspects of All-That-Is. The issue is, on our planet, we as souls have turned our face away from the Light of the Source. What this means, is that we sought out our own independence and we are working towards returning to the Light and Oneness. This is a process, wherein, much as a teenager rebels against their parents, we form our own individuality. Then we turn back to God, and the Oneness, and the Light having been transformed by this process. Sometimes, it takes many incarnations to do this, and it is a choice that we as souls made. There is more on this topic but I will cover this in a later post. While we are on Earth we are also creating, often on an unconscious level based on patterns and expectations that our Parents, Society and our Educational system has taught us. We are working with the Dream Weave to decide what type of reality we experience here on Earth. Now that is an entirely different post and really new territory for me. For now, it's clear that before the Ancients descended into the period of forgetfulness and supposed Separation from All-That-Is they understood the fundamental building blocks of matter that sciences is only now discovering. They understood how creation was made, that God was the Unseen One that creates all of existence. They understood the Dream Weave and how to work with it. The perception of All-That-IS, the Creator, God, has really opened my mind and changed how I perceive the world. Yet, I have known it all along because when I was a child, no more than six, playing Barbies I had the thought, "Is this how God perceives us? He creates characters, they develop their own personalities and then he watches the scenarios they create play out?" Any author knows the feeling that the Creator must have. As an author I am the character in my books, each with their own personality and yet removed from them. Each one has a purpose in the story but at some point they simply take on a life of their own that can be mind boggling even to the writer of the story. As far as the nature of the Creator, how he could allow Evil to exist and Evil People to exist...I see it much as an author writing a story. The author creates both good guys and bad guys...but that doesn't mean that either really reflect the nature of the Author. Yes, they are aspects of the authors imagination, but we don't look at J.K. Rowling and because she created the character Voldemort think that she is evil for creating him. Further, evil people always have the ability to be redeemed. In fact, it is suggested that all of us at some point have been evil in our past lives but that does not mean that our soul is evil. Even then, some of the best stories are when a villain seeks redemption.
(Note from 2017: I'm leaving this up to show that my own perception of Awakening has evolved in many ways. I started off with a very fear based ideaology and I did listen to very fearful people who seemed to be making connections.)
​ Alright, I'm inviting you again to walk this spiral path. I was trying to figure out a few years ago why everyone was talking about, "Being Awake." I never could quite understand the meaning behind this saying although it appealed to me. I thought it was odd. Then there came the influx of zombie movies and I realized that people were feeling like zombies. At the peak of the 'zombie apocalypse' obsession people began to realize it was a subconscious representation of our over worked/unenlightened population and the type of lives we have created. We are like the walking dead repeating the same routine over and over. Awakening oneself to spirituality (or the sacred heart of enlightenment) is the answer to preventing a person from being 'the walking dead.' I will cover this is in a future post so we can look at this more in depth. This idea has been with me for a very long time and I have always gravitated to music or books regarding 'being awake within the dream.' This has been a driving force and the first whispers of this was in the late nineties. That's when I heard the Angel's of Venice CD "Awake Inside a Dream" and the Godsmack song, "Awake" came out in early 2000. However, recently the pervasive theme about being awake has seemed to spring up everywhere including the Christian rock band Skillet and one of my favorite witty artists, Katy Perry. I should also add that I have great skill in controlling my own dreams and interpreting others dreams. I've found that it's a bit more fun when I let them take on their own manifestation instead of trying to control them. I will be posting more on dreams in future blogs. Reality is an illusion. I'm going to show this in several ways in the next few blogs. We, as a group are creating this reality together but at the same time it is just an illusion. We never leave the Spirit World where we are created in the image of the Great Spirit (God/Source/All That Is). First, understand that I am in no way special. Everyone can do what I've experienced. All you have to do is to let go of yourself. Pema Chodron said it best in her book When Things Fall Apart, "You must learn how to let go of yourself." Things falling apart is a natural part of life but the natural answer is to rebuild a different version of the original intent. Further, it is important to tame the mind. In Turning the Mind Into An Ally, Sakyong Mipham describes the process as trying to tame the "Wind horse". The mind (Jung called it the Ego) thinks that it's in control of the situation. The Mind thinks that it is the one in charge interacting with the world but that's not true. Our spirit or soul is the one doing the creating and it's just better if we learn to flow along with creation instead of trying to control it (much as I learned in my dreams). (We see this on the world stage because man is trying to create and control nature). Psychology teaches us that repressing emotions can be bad because they find expression in negative or harmful ways. When we repress emotions or memories we actually hold onto them. One of the worst things we can do is be like the Monk's or Priests and repress ourselves completely in an attempt not to be human. Whether it is our sexual drive, our drive for attention or a billion different things repressing our feelings is not the correct path. The correct path is to embrace the fear, embrace the pain, learn our lessons from it and move on. Reality is like a Snow Globe We are like a snow globe. Within ourselves we create the illusion, we agreed to play this game with others but they are bit players. We are the architects of our own worlds, we are the dreamers, and we are the makers of the dream. Other people we know, with Snow Globes of their own, share the illusion with us by projecting themselves into our reality. We project ourselves into theirs. Projection is also a Psychological concept. When we project onto others it is usually negative parts of ourselves (things we have disowned/our shadow) because our own state of being distorts their true image. The only way to not project on others (you will always project into their worlds) is to quiet your mind and find the center place- the place of calm in the eye of the storm is what I call it- and look at the situation from an objective point of view. Building Worlds Learning how to build worlds can be a little difficult as a writer. It forces you to think beyond yourself, beyond this world but as every author knows you start with yourself. In order for a world to be plausible it has to contain parts of this world but it can have different names or actors. Gravity, for instance, can't be changed and still seem comprehensible to the human brain. Stephen King said it best when he explained that writing, although this can be expressed in the form of video games (especially the creation of worlds like Tolkien, Narnia, Skyrim, etc.), is a form of telepathy. This is the transfer of thoughts from one to another where it becomes engrossing. When you combine that with the fact that the authors, musicians, directors, game creators and artists of our world are the Shaman's what you get when reading are two globes sharing the same reality. This too will be another blog post. A Projection From Spirit This world is a projection from the Spirit World that we are making. We are always safely with God, we never leave him, but we are projecting ourselves here as a some sort of game. This too will be another blog post. Time is one of the mechanisms used to control this reality. Time has really sped up in the last few years so that it's hard to have a family, hard to have the time to do everything we want to get done, and the resources to do it. Yet, if we are the architects of the dream then we can also control time. I've experienced what I'll call "Untime" which was actually a very fun experience. Most people would be afraid to have the experiences that I have had. I am not afraid. I guess I've just lost so much, faced all of my greatest fears and lived through them just fine. I've let go of Fear, I see this life for what it is and it is my job to share with everyone how it works. I'm trying my best to convey this information to everyone else so that we can all wake up within the dream. Two Analogies I see life this way... When I was a child I would go to Disneyland and I would ride Star Tours. I was so confused by what is and is not an illusion that I would scream in terror throughout that entire ride. That was so real to me that I thought that I was really flying through a comet and getting stuck in Darth Vader's tractor beam. I learned, however, by going on the ride many many times (I had an annual pass) how to enjoy the illusion. I learned to relax and just trust that the seat belt hold me in and eventually I had the muscle memory to know when there was going to be a twist or a turn. However, when I had learned the entire sequence it became boring and I wished that they had different destinations. I knew that it would be so easy to do and I couldn't see why they hadn't thought of it before. Well, now they do have different destinations but I'm sure that by going on the ride often enough the people with passes have gotten to know the twists and turns (although, I will say that the newer versions are more shallow and less immersive than the first). Here is another way to describe how I see life. When going to Knott's Scary Farm I throw off the people playing "monsters" because I have an unusual reaction. I know that they are just actors so no matter how gruesome they look or how fierce they might seem I know that it is all an illusion. No matter how immersive the mazes are, no matter how much depth that they put into the construction of these mini-worlds...I see through them. So when a monster comes up to me holding a knife I know that it is not real so I say, "Hello," and just laugh. The actors are so used to scaring people the illusion completely falls apart. This is what we need to do to overcome our fears. Shattering the Illusion Having the illusion of this reality being (I envision it as a globe within a globe type of scenario) shattered is not a terrible thing. I think that it can really end up opening up a way of living that people can't currently imagine. We have, effectively, painted ourselves into a dark corner and now it's simply time to turn the light back on. We must learn to laugh, to "lighten up" in order to be "Enlightened." Our light does not shine as brightly if we do not smile through the tears and embrace the fear. There is no reason to have a heavy heart. None of this is real, this is just a dream. Even our nursery rhymes tell us that this is so... YouTube Videos Again, I do not mean to infer that there is any intent of any conscious group effort to form this pattern that I'm going to include. Nor do I mean to infringe on the artists who's work I'm including. I'm just showing everyone the patterns that I am seeing. My intent is not to say that there is any sort of conspiracy but to imply that this is the act of the collective unconscious (that consists of us working together on the spiritual plane of existence).
My favorite scene from Star Trek V "The Final Frontier." Obviously, it is a rendition of the classic nursery rhyme Row Row Row Your Boat, which, as I said states clearly that this life is an illusion. The fact that it is the very base motivated Captain Kirk, Spock who represents logic and McCoy (my favorite character) who would represent the heart ties in with a post regarding the number Three that I plan about writing later. (I apologize for references to future blogs but this information comes in waves that are so deep that it takes me a bit to navigate through the information in a way that is easily understood.)
This one ties in the most with this post. Reality is like a snow globe and this captures that analogy of how the illusion of this world works. The glass dome distorts the image of a butterfly making it appear to be a scary bat. Then Lindsey captures a glimpse of the truth when she sees the bat turn into a butterfly. We see, in the mechanical part (in the system) Lizzy Hale helps Lindsey (the inner child or the spirit) break out of her physical prison by placing a doll in the gears. All of this is out of the desire to feel complete, to not feel alone, and to find that inner connection to Source again. The mirror reflecting the illusion of who we are breaks for Lizzy. Lindsey then turns into a crystalline entity of light followed by finding herself in a new much larger world.
This was one of the very first songs that I was attracted to but for some reason Wikipedia doesn't list the exact date the album was released. This was the first glimmer that this reality is an illusion. The symbolism in the video isn't terrible and does capture the essence of the song...so sit back and enjoy a kind of rare song that I adore.
Alright, in this one we get a more funny take on the snow globe analogy. Albeit this is kind of backwards from the way that Lizzy portrayed it. In this song Matt Wertz wishes that he was in a snow globe and it's conveyed as Christmas every day. Of course, if Christmas arrived every day then we would take it for granted. Also, his world starts to get really crowded to the point where he's crawling along the ground until he finds a door. At the end we see the snow globe version of Matt looking outside of the trailer. Realizing that there is a bigger world then his snow globe he and his buddies decide to set off and explore leaving their little Christmas world behind.
Alright, the symbolism in this one is a little more hidden. This one was at the leading edge of these songs back in 2000. This was from sixteen years ago. There is the prevalent point of view that we are trapped, that we are prisoners in our own soul dream. The box is a male symbol, this goes back to the entire idea of being trapped in a cage (the human body). The prison itself also represents being imprisoned. Notice how the prison guard looks outside but they don't see the band but the band is inciting the rebellion of the inmates. Then the prisoners are let out by a wise old man that appears to be at an old stone door. Eventually, at the end just as the swat team arrives the sign for the prison falls and it now says closed since the sixties! (This link is not playing so follow this link to YouTube: ​https://youtu.be/opU1urLhw50)
In the following we see a Christian band taking on the meaning of waking up within the dream. This alblum was released in 2009. The part that I want to focus on here is the "breath into me." It is the breath of spirit, of the collective unconscious that Yeshua represented (and I believe channeled) that helps us to keep going when it seems that our light is about to be extinguished by fear. Strangely, I couldn't find the actual music video on YouTube for this one.
Alright, so in the next piece we have the Goddess Kali being displayed after a collage of endangered species (two of whom are a part of my animal totem- the Butterfly and Humpback Whale). There has been a similar collage at the Vatican. I want to note that the ending is of the Triune Goddess Durga. Kali is the part that is the breaker of the illusion. This is just one form of a wake up call. This collage has received a lot of negative attention.
Here we have the "Power Piece" add for X-Men: Days of Future past. To me the resemblance to Kali is obvious. We find out in this piece that Kali must not kill a man. Once she doesn't kill the future of the world is changed. As I stated before there are two different paths that have been emerging and this is one aspect of the new path.
Here, in this video from 2012, we see Katy Perry in the labyrinth of her own mind where she found a strawberry (forbidden fruit). Also, in the labryinth she does seem to resemble the goddess Kali when she smacks the walls.
I must add one of my favorite stories about Samsara (the recycle of death and rebirth) Strawberry from Pema Chodron's book. In it she describes the story of a woman traveling through the jungle. A wild tiger begins to chase her. She climbs down a vine and then looking down sees that there is another tiger below. She realizes that the vine she is holding onto has a strawberry and she grasps it and eats it. The taste of that strawberry is extremely sweet in precious because of her situation. When Katy decides to 'let go' a flare goes up from her chest that lights up the sky. That's when her inner child appears and rushes her into a hallway filled with mirrors. When she bursts through the mirror her inner child stands up to the 'devils' (the bulls), and they rush from the hospital into a garden. Her inner child (intuition) sees that the guy is misleading her. They then see a new door to the "light" through the heart. This video also doesn't work so you're going to have to follow this link to see it: https://youtu.be/k0BWlvnBmIE)
In this we see the movie Inception. This is where Leonardo Decaprio's character explains how 'co-dreaming' works. This is how reality works. This is a wonderfully "backwards" dream (I will go into that in a future post as well). Notice when she's afraid that things begin to explode until she "kills herself" in the dream. I think that we have all had those moments where we were so afraid our hearts felt as though they were going to leap out of our chest and some how in those moments we manage to hurt ourselves inadvertently. Some people have literally fainted or died from fright.
In this video he channeled entity, Bashar, is explaining how we are actually dreaming. As I have established in this post what we consider reality is in fact a dream that our higher-self (on the spiritual plane of existence from which we originate) co-create's this dreams with others. Those other people project themselves into our personal reality. One of the important things to remember is although the dream isn't real the experience is real to our soul.
I though this would be a fitting end to this one. I'm sure that there are some who don't think that we can awaken within the dream. That they want to keep us in the negativity that we see. Instead, I'd like to prove them wrong and show that we can all be peaceful warriors. There is a lot more I can say on this point. The images and story lines are becoming more clear as I investigate each thread of this tapestry every time I walk the spiral. I, however, am going to spend the rest of the day walking my dogs and being outside in the fresh air. This post has taken the better part of two days to put together. I apologize that it is very long. However, I really didn't write this for those with short attention spans. Maybe I'll eventually make videos for them in the future when I can distill this information even more than I currently can.
