How Not To Meditate
Although meditation is yoga or union,
it isn’t an exercise class where we do something special on a cushion đ
Meditation is barely resting in awareness.
It is the unity or oneness of consciousness in an environment.
There is no meditator.
Meditation is totally unsophisticated, completely free of fashionable ideas and culture.
Perfect meditation is dropping the meditation.
Karma Is Cognitive Bias
Karma is cognitive bias:
more of the same,
ârecommended for youâ by your echo chamber.
In body, speech and mind, our lives become formulaic, and that reinforces attitude and behaviour. We conform to a type, creating our personal dungeon of predictable experiences.
In the emptiness of meditation, there is no karma, no attitude.
Meditation is release from the suffering of repetition.
Meditation is the spontaneous moment now.
Cognitive bias is erroneous thinking that occurs when people interpret information that affects their decisions and judgments, creating a subjective reality that dictates repetitive behaviour.
Algorithm recommendations build more data similar to previous viewing.
An echo chamber is an environment where a person only encounters information or opinions that reflect and reinforce their own opinions.
We are drowning in repetition.
Acknowledging this is the path to enlightenment.
Confusion: Sewing With A Two-Headed Needle
Confusion: From Latin confundere âmingle togetherâ. To make (someone) bewildered or perplexed; to identify wrongly; to mistake.
Adopting two or more concepts (such as enlightenment and salvation) confuses our mind, as these are mixed metaphors that we are trying to bring together.
Enlightenment: Â awareness, freeing a person from the cycle of rebirth
Salvation:  deliverance from sin and its consequences, believed by Christians to be brought about by faith in Christ
This ‘mingling together’ is trying to travel along our path and someone else’s at the same time, and splits resolution. Ourpath is personal conflicts that have to be resolved in order to be able to realise our true essence of pure consciousness, which is non-duality.
Following another’s path is duality.
Confusion can also be called ‘conflation’. The result of conflating concepts may give rise to fallacies and ambiguity. Conflation is the merging of two or more sets of information, texts, ideas or opinions into one, often misunderstood as being equal, treating two similar but disparate concepts as the same: ‘salvation’ and ‘enlightenment’ could be two such concepts.
Again, this is exactly why the Buddha said,
âDo not take my word as truth; test it for yourself.â
Following others will deny your reality.
Catching Our Demons
Others’ demons are easier to spot.
đ
The world is full of demons. Our demons are our opinions, likes and dislikes, gathered from what we have read and heard from other opinionated demons â but whatever is said to be out there can never deny that which sees whatever is out there.
That which sees is not an opinion,
but can have many names.
Information that we have read or heard is exoteric information; predictable banter for the many. Direct spontaneous experience is esoteric, unique in its clarity.
Truth is that spontaneous.
Demons merely repeat themselves.
Our demons are our teacher.
No demons, no realisation.
Consciousness – The Essence Of Mind
Consciousness – the essence of mind.
And the essence of consciousness is emptiness.
Mind is memories (software) which affect the brain (hardware) and our attitude.
Whether the mind moves or is still, the essence of consciousness is always present. When consciousness looks into itself, it finds nothing there; that moment is pure consciousness, and mind becomes empty.
This is freedom from concepts and suffering.
It can be recalled when needed,
in order to revive empathy.
It’s not a matter of walking around ‘being empty’: it is being unsullied clarity. We may not have all the answers, but we can adapt, rather than adopt.
We are consciousness living in an ethereal and material world.
That is the middle way.
Is There A Script?
Is there a script?
Certainly: the simple laws of the universe.
Those who do not know these laws live in confusion.
Good and evil both have the script, the formula, the principle, according to universal laws of attraction, repulsion and inertia. In human terms, this is desire, aversion and ignorance. In animal terms, it’s fight, flight and freeze.
But these same laws are also enlightened wisdoms. This is what evil can never understand as it has nothing to gain from emptiness – the pure state of being.
The evil rules by desire, fear and ignorance.
The enlightened expose the essence of desire, fear and ignorance
as emptiness, cognisance and compassion.
Our essence is pure, unsullied emptiness but, through desire, this becomes filled with expectations.
Our nature is cognisant but, because of desire, we become fearful and so, judgemental.
Our heart is compassionate but, through becoming judgemental, we lack compassion.
Know the script, know a fruitful life.
Know half the script, know suffering.
It all depends on whether we want to gain something, or understand it.
Meditation: Anti-virus Software
Meditation is like anti-virus software,
cleaning out the malware which is specifically designed
to disrupt, damage or gain unauthorised access
to our minds.
đ
It is a programme to remove our programming.
The Purpose Of Meditation
Meditation is simply being aware of thoughts and emotions that control us, running around in the mind and diverting our attention.
When we become aware of the awareness that is observing these thoughts, this is meditation.
It is, however, a duality; me and the thoughts.
In the moment of recognition, the mind is clear and workable.
When we forget pure consciousness, however, the mind returns to its old routine of being predictable.
How to drop the meditation, and arrive at non-duality?
Once we understand that this awareness has always been present, we realise it’s what we actually are; pure consciousness.
It never changes.
It can never not be pure.
Having realised pure consciousness, thoughts are a reminder that they are being observed.
Pure consciousness and thought are inseparable; that is non-duality.
Appearance and recognition are simultaneous.
Meditation isn’t about having no thoughts.
It’s realising that they are there, gathered from our environment. Gradually, with practice, thought-interference drops away by itself.
Until enlightenment, thought-interruption will plague us, but now it isn’t an enemy; it’s our teacher.
Poison becomes medicine.
Meditation is simply being aware of thoughts disturbing our mind. These thoughts are our persona which masks a parasite that relies on consciousness’s lack of awareness (and this world is an expert at creating personas đ ) We are responsible for our thoughts when they no longer add to our persona.
There is no observer,
merely observation.
Can We Know The Ultimate Truth?
Can we know happiness?
Yes.
How?
We are what we pursue.
We just have to realise this.
How do we do that?
Through meditation.
Meditation is letting go of all concepts
and allowing pure awareness to take place.
Realising pure awareness is the presence of pure consciousness.
The Truth Of Truth
We are each our own guru-teacher.
Relying on another’s path may inspire us,
but we go alone.
This isn’t about making up a path,
and using it as an excuse to justify
our selfish behaviour.
It is genuinely taking ourself apart,
with the help of our self.
Our self exposes all that we cling to.
We’re all original recipes.
That’s why our path is unique.
Self is always with us
until the moment of enlightenment.
Many won’t want to hear this,
as guru worship is encouraged.
It’s all about letting go and seeing,
and letting go.
This breathes new life into life.
Truth isn’t something to know.
The truth of truth is pure knowingness;
the circle of no circumference.
Where Did We Come From?
Where did we come from?
Was there a beginning?
It is suggested that we are infinite beings,
so how are we what we are now?
We all go through cycles of existence, even in this life time, being influenced in some way, both personally and collectively. Are there periods of mass influence? Even though we may have good intentions, we succumb to others’ ways, going round in circles. We find this in any job or career, and even in religions, we fall into line.
Was there a time when good influences were more abundant? Was there a time, place or dimension when all were enlightened? It seems to suggest this in the Yugas â the Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age and now, the Iron Age.
What happened to us?
We fell into dis-repute/dis-grace through desire and fascination, slowly building up a self-image and a feeling of separation. We will return to grace and higher standing when we realise what we have done (karmic load) and what we can become (re-cognise/re-know our enlightened essence)
It’s the best answer I can come up with at this moment đ At the very least, it has a fearless sense of direction, completion, degradation, confusion, and back to completion. The Iron Age is just a dimming of the light, but we can still see clearly because we look more!
The Dharma is conjecture.
We put together the pieces of the puzzle through experience
in order to complete the picture.
If we don’t like the picture,
we can choose another puzzle.
We’re so old that we are timeless âŚ
or
we just came out of the muddy swamp.
But why were we in the mud?
đ
A major problem we have is too many ideas, too many traditions, too many loose wires. We need to see how these loose ideas can be tied together on the esoteric level to achieve a sense of positive direction.
Dharma Is Knowledge Of Knowing
The world is divided up into
those who do not want to know,
those who think they know,
those who want to know,
and those who know.
Those who do not want to know or think they know
are the most hostile.
Those who want to know, or know, ask questions.
This video by Dr John Campbell shows two Australian senators, one asking questions and the other explaining. Neither are hostile or silent. The second senator, Gerard Rennick, speaks in great detail at 7.30 minutes, about the MNRA vaccine and how it actually works. Basically, he is saying that nano particles are so small that they flow from the capillaries to the main blood supply that can affect all the organs in the body (the vaccine is supposed to stay within the muscle which is why aspirating an injection is so important to check that it isn’t entering a vein).
Notice how empty the chamber is. The question is why? What do they know? Why the silence?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jDS4vayXK0
This covers all approaches to any subject,
and is how the world is run or ruined.
Conscious Bias Creates The Biased Unconscious
We follow too easily like sheep, and take for granted that whatever we are told is true. Acquiring partial information, we misunderstand and assume that this partial information is right. The result is that we lose any sense of right and wrong, or of completeness and incompleteness.
If we are learning, we don’t come to any conclusion until we have put the information into practice, and then we know. In making a decision based on incomplete information, we have to live with the consequences, and so do all those around us. đ
We cannot blame others who misunderstand.
It’s a tough world to live in.
Because we hear or read something doesn’t mean it – or we – are correct. As long as we remain open-minded, we cannot go wrong, as it means we have possibilities. The truth is in the seeing, rather than whatever is seen, read or heard.
This is why the most important advice I have ever read is,
âDo not take my word for the truth; test it for yourself.â
– Gautama Buddha.
Put it into practice and see.
If we just believe,
we are not seeing the complete, unbiased truth that is seeing.
That is pure consciousness.
Realisation Feels Outside Of Time
We watch people going through their predictable routines,
saying, doing, fixating as if they are behind glass.
We can enter their world,
but they cannot enter ours
– unless they knock.
đ
Evil Is Not Intelligent, It’s Super-Intelligent
So how does evil regard us?
It knows human frailty of hope, fear and indifference
and uses this to its advantage.
Evil is all about gain.
It does not recognise wisdom,
as there is nothing to gain from emptiness.
We all have the ability to be super-intelligent.
đ
But wisdom is all about loss of gain.
Can An Action Be Neutral?
Anything that manifests has a cause and an effect,
and so cannot be neutral.
Things do not just happen.
Only consciousness remains neutral in its pure state.
Neutral is seeing clearly,
disengaged from fixations.
Karma Is Not Fate
Fate: that which has been spoken, making it inevitable that something will happen.
Karma: the sum of a person’s previous actions, either beneficial or harmful.
Fate suggests that results cannot be changed.
Karma suggests that the result can be changed.
Fate is a feeling that change cannot take place. The way we speak and act causes the same scenarios, and so we go round in circles.
Karma can be seen as the effects of our past coming into play now, but we can use this behaviour as our direct teacher and guide to enlightenment.
There are many levels of understanding,
depending on our realisation and our confusion.
Karma is both our confusion and our teacher
– and our path to enlightenment.
Are we a karmic positive person or a fateful negative person?
The Great Leap Forward ⌠Into Hell
We have to be mindful of the type of world in which we are living.
The constant reset of consciousness.
The only thing that changes is the illusion,
maintaining perfect totalitarian communism.
Totalitarianism is a form of government that attempts to assert total control over the lives of its citizens. It is characterised by strong central rule that attempts to control and direct all aspects of individual life through coercion and repression.
âThe Great Reset Initiative is an economic recovery plan drawn up by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative’s stated aim is to facilitate rebuilding from the global COVID-19 crisis in a way which prioritises sustainable development.â – WEF
Recovery?
Nothing has changed except the illusion.
To save the planet?
Nature is much more powerful than human creativities.
Nature adapts.
The plan to step forward: utilise a situation, create a cock-up that actually hasn’t changed anything except the illusion, and use the results as an excuse for the great totalitarian leap forward. If we want to see an illusion at work, this is it. We are supposed to leave our brains, free will, free speech, free spirit at the door.
is a video by Dr John Campbell (who is a doctor and scientist) showing how information at the top can skew what we, at the bottom, have to obey. The only thing that changes is the illusion. John Campbell’s journey has taken him from belief in the system to disbelief; past videos show the evidence for why he changed his mind.
Making The Most Out Of Life
Life is consciousness, and consciousness is natural goodness. Making the most out of consciousness is realising that we are this pure, good spirit, rather than spending our life trying to look good.
Nature dazzles with sensuality, and colour, smell, taste, sound, touch bring us to our senses. The seasons are a welcomed change as they follow naturally. We needn’t exaggerate this, however: simple appreciation will do, otherwise we turn nature – and our life – into a ‘fascinating’ subject.
Exaggeration is a distraction. If we hold on to exaggerations, we merely fill up time and space. It’s ironic that religions exaggerate talk about good spirit, while actually separating us; exaggeration breeds extremism, and extremism wants to dominate.
There is a difference between wanting to look good
and having a good look.
A good spirit unites us
– and we don’t have to be religious to appreciate a good spirit.
Memories Are Subconscious Bias
Our decisions are based on memories. If our memories are partial or influenced, our thinking will be tainted. Ideas are planted into a society through the media, and that is our normal. We become one-dimensional vertical thinkers, assuming this because of that; vertical thinking is how most of us see the world, looking for a defined answer and avoiding questioning.
The hallmark of vertical thinking is, âThis is it!â
The opposite is lateral thinking, asking âWhat or why is it?â
There is more to having a good look;
there is having a good look.
What If The Yugas Were Personal?
In the Rigveda, a ‘yuga’ can refer to generations, a long period, a very brief period, or a yoke.
In the Mahabharata, the word ‘yuga’ is used to describe the cycles of creation and destruction, with four world ages of Krita Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga.
But what if ‘yuga’ applies to personal development?
 Nihilism â Misunderstanding Objectiveness
Nihilism: the belief that nothing in the world has a real existence, and that life is meaningless.
We must be careful when we repeat text on negation (known as Madhyamika) that cancels everything out and finds nothing left. This can be misunderstood and can lead to extremism, bordering on nihilism.
There is no self as that is a designation for a collection of ideas, but there is that which is perfectly conscious. Although everything is said to be emptiness, still there is a consciousness aware of emptiness.
If we go too far in negating, we may find that we lack empathy, thinking others do not exist and therefore ignoring their suffering.
We can refute the existence of external phenomena and a perceiving mind since both are equally lacking in inherent existence, being mere concepts/illusions – but what is it that is refuting? đ
Be happy to be alive, and wish the same for others.
With support, we will become enlightened.
Death of a moment is another new beginning.
A Lack Of Empathy
If we take a side, we jump to conclusions and therefore lack empathy as we’re not looking behind the story. We become so partial (unbalanced) and divided (competitive) that empathy for others goes out of the window. In our hearts, we want to agree, but our mind fears. As long as we remain unenlightened, our views will depend on the sort of background we come from, and it is this that separates us. It’s natural.
We have all experienced every emotion possible, and understanding that gives rise to empathy – or it should do. Everyone needs support, and to be served by those with empathy and confidence.
Interestingly, when we look up the word ‘serve’ in the dictionary, it comes from the Latin servus – ‘slave’, and means a willingness to serve or please.
âWe who are strong bear with the shortcomings of the weak,
and not to please ourselves.â
– Romans 15.1
A lack of confidence or empathy cannot serve anyone.
Look At The Signs – The Ending Of The Kali Yuga
Light overcomes dark.
Goodness overcomes evil.
Wisdom overcomes conformity.
It is obvious that we live in dark, manipulated times,
with crimes against humanity
through the policing of body, speech and mind.
More and more people are waking up to this phenomenon.
Anger becomes more prevalent.
Anger is mirror-like wisdom.
With the constant realisation
that absolute truth and distractions are a unity,
we become buddhas.
Don’t believe the words, read the signs âŚ
⌠externally and internally.
Mentally Tortured, Without Knowing It
This isn’t an honest world.
We are meant to see injustice.
Every sentient being is the very same essence of pure consciousness. Unfortunately, we miss this altogether by being constantly distracted by world history, which plays on our fears and insecurities.
Listening to predictive speech is excruciating.
If we lose our free spirit to conformity, we have nothing to say.
Spontaneous presence of pure consciousness is this free spirit.
The truth has always been known, but only by the few.
George Orwell’s book, â1984â, which was published in 1949, offers insights into totalitarianism, mass surveillance and repressive regimentation of people and behaviours within society. The Ministry of Truth promoted the belief that power is the most important commodity, and power over what people believe – which includes power over the past – regulates all forms of media.
Humanity has been tortured in this way for millennia.
The Craft And The Art Of Dharma
The craft of the Dharma is studying text and going to lectures: it’s all very interesting and consuming, and we can learn to recite this and that.
But the actual Dharma is the spontaneous moment now. This is the art of living. Realisation is more to do with our countenance, our behaviour, our manner, than how scholarly we are; that is merely being crafty. đ
The craft is all about us.
The art is all about other.
The craft is rehearsed performance,
and shows how interesting we are.
The art is improvised, spontaneous happening
– the ability to communicate and, most important of all, listen –
and show we are interested.
Know doctrine, no communication.
No doctrine, know communication.
Craft is exoteric
â known by the many –
and is the mark of this dark age.
Art is esoteric
â realised by the few –
and will be our future world.
Is Enlightenment Sophisticated?
Sophisticated Sophism.
Sophisticated: developed to a high degree of complexity.
Sophism: a clever but false argument, to deliberately deceive.
Sophistry: a fallacious argument; a mistaken belief.
Maintaining sophistication requires a high degree of complexity.
Enlightenment is the simplest view in the universe.
It is just seeing, without judgement or comment.
What is sophisticated?
Denial.
Evil Hides The Truth
Evil hides the truth with partial truths or omissions. As long as we are coddled in our personal partial truth, we will feel cosy and comforted, relying on being looked after by our ‘betters’. Evil knows that partial truth encourages disagreement and division as we encounter others’ partial truths.
Only the complete truth of pure consciousness develops compassionate confidence
beyond disagreements.
Ascending the levels of realisation
involves uncovering the fixations inherent in partial truth.
Evil plays with words.
Truth plays with spontaneous, direct experience.
Meditation is training in impartiality.
Life is meditation in action.
Intelligent Design?
Intelligent design is a belief that life, the earth and the universe are so complex that they cannot be explained by the scientific theory of evolution, and therefore must have been designed by a supernatural entity; the existence of God.
Intelligent?
How intelligent?
There are two possibilities when addressing the subject of God. One: that this is an external being. Two: that it is pure consciousness within ego/I.
What is our potential?
Belief or enlightenment?
The only people who have ever become enlightened are those who did not believe in God. If God did make humans in his own image, why haven’t more people attained God-hood? In the tradition of God, they are merely designated as a saint or prophet by others – after they die.
Throughout history, only a few have realised their true nature; they are esoteric beings. Those who only believe and hope are exoteric beings.
The laws of nature created everything: attraction, repulsion and inertia ⌠fight, flight and freeze ⌠desire, aversion, and ignorance ⌠hope, fear, and indifference. It’s just these three principles or negative traps that create everything. All very clever, but lacking in wisdom of our true reality.
Intelligent design doesn’t indicate wisdom.
Just look at world history.
đ
The wisdom is knowing that the essence of these three negative principles is emptiness, cognisance and compassion. In other words, pure compassionate consciousness.
Belief makes people emotional.
Realisation makes people enlightened.
Enlightenment = constant realisation of ultimate truth that negates belief.
A Higher Purpose Is Unknowable?
What a confused world we live in.
Some think that there is a higher purpose which is âunknowableâ.
What is the point of having a higher purpose that’s unknowable?! đ
There are so many blogs like this ⌠so many videos, so many books, so many views, it’s hard to make sense out of it all. The important questions is, âDoes this information genuintely add quality to our life, or is it just ‘interesting’?â
If we do not come to some conclusion, we will remain con-clue-sion-less đ Coming to a conclusion doesn’t mean this is fixed; it is our conclusion so far. If this conclusion, however, arrives at âunknowableâ, that is the end of our story â not anyone else’s – and any enrichment to our life is negated.
To say that a higher purpose is âunknowableâ views others’ ability to realise the enlightened state with contempt. With that attitude, a person is regarding themselves as higher than a Buddha, an enlightened being, while subconsciously, they are trying to pull others down by refusing to acknowledge the enlightened potential in us all.
Is our mental universe finite or infinite?
The Art Of Happening
Happening: improvised or spontaneous.
It’s what we do with Dharma.
Spontaneous:Â occurring without premeditation
or external stimulus, having an open, natural,
 and uninhibited manner.
It’s what we do with Dharma.
We are the pure heart of consciousness.
Consciousness isn’t something organised.
Thank goodness.
Demoralised
Demoralise: to cause someone to lose confidence.
To corrupt the morals of someone to become unsure of right and wrong.
The view of a neuroscientist adept:
âConsciousness arises out of the brain.â
The view of a spiritual adept:
âConsciousness permeates the entire body.â
It amounts to which view generates well-being and compassion.
Who Or What Created Self?
Who or what created self?
God? Chemicals? Karma?
The creationists and the evolutionists present obvious arguments. There is another possibility, but it won’t suit everyone. What created this moment of us being here? The previous moment. This is karma at work.
What is karma? Karma is the consequences of all previous actions, ie causes and effects.
It’s undeniable that there is a cause for anything that is created. We are born with certain tendencies – inclined towards a particular characteristic or type of behaviour. Why is that?
Some might say these tendencies are inherited, but we notice that siblings can be very different. We may have certain mannerisms (traumas đ ), but our inner view is totally different that to our parents or surroundings.
This could be due to reincarnation. âThe Tibetan Book Of The Deadâ (a guide to life) suggests that it is karma that drives us into a certain body at conception, due to our tendencies. It is we who create our self – we being consciousness â facilitated by the laws of nature. Consciousness identifies with a set of ideas and seeks a form to express these ideas or concepts.
Misguided consciousness maintains these tendencies right now. This self is a product of concepts, created by our ignorance of our true nature of pure consciousness.
Until we realise this true essence,
we will transmigrate.
Until then, we remain record players,
repeating the same old songs.
Where is the evidence?
We are predictable.
Image Over Substance
Image is concerned with how we appear.
In that, there is no substance.
Substance is being meaningful.
Substance: from Latin substantia âbeing, essenceâ.
When we realise substance,
it doesn’t matter how we appear.
Frustration Can Turn To Anger
There are two types of frustration that can turn to anger:
Type 1 – Not knowing enough – and not knowing the right words – causes confusion and conflict.
Type 2 – Knowing the truth – and having the right words – but it cannot be heard by people of Type 1.
Skilful empathy means that anger is mirror-like wisdom. An example; something or someone seems wonky (off-centre), and the mind brightens up before identification takes place. That moment is pure consciousness. It is then that we may see the cause, before we engage. Or maybe silence is golden. đ
The choice is being frustrated and angry,
or using frustration as wisdom.
When we know, there is no competition.
As we are unenlightened, there will still be a residue of frustration,
but that is the energy to keep going and not give up.
Living With Realisation
Living with realisation of ultimate truth is precarious in a relative world. Those who relate to everything and pride themselves on having opinions are unstable and dangerous people who constantly feel threatened.
This is why realisation has to come with empathy and right conduct.
Realisation is a piece of cake compared to compassion.
đ
Is The Foundation At The Beginning Or The End?
Is the foundation the ground or the golden roof?
There is a choice.
Most spiritual traditions start at the beginning of the ‘book of wisdom’, creating the atmosphere for the realisation of truth. At the conclusion, we may understand what truth is, or we may merely maintain a belief.
By starting at the end of the ‘book of wisdom’ – the conclusion – we know what the truth is all about.
The conclusion is that we know what we are, and what we’re doing and why, by testing the contents of the rest of the book.
I spent decades confused about the contents of the ‘book of wisdom’, not becoming any wiser, but just maintaining idiot meditation (so I was told).
One moment of instruction about the end of the book (probably at the right moment, as I had received it before but it had left confusion in my mind) and everything changed. It wasn’t so much the instruction, as the realisation that this ultimate truth was there all the time; it was timeless, in fact, and I had known it all my life.
That golden roof was the foundation of my journey.
They Don’t Want Us To Think For Ourselves
They don’t want us to think for ourselves.
The evidence for this is that most cannot.
âToe the line, and follow the queue.â
When did you last think of something original?
It’s not possible đ
Thoughts are both limited, and limiting. Thoughts come in words, and word are not infinite – we only use a certain number of words.
First, we have to stop this chattering mind to think clearly: there needs to be clarity in seeing before there is clarity of thinking, without interruption by memories.
Pure consciousness sees clearly as it is uncontaminated. We are that consciousness. Seeing clearly, no new thoughts are necessary – but what we can do is put words together in a different way, and that comes about by not thinking in a usual way.
Are we freely inspired or predictable?
Does The Devil Warn Us?
Evil is the act of preparing and owning.
Evil pre-empts, disarming us by posing a threat, and pointing a finger at a plausible outcome so that we do not notice that the intention is our involvement. The threat is a stalking horse.
Stalking horse:
a person or thing that is used to conceal someone’s real intentions.
Why do you think this phrase exists?
It happens.
Evil is the philosophy of dividing our attention, and so conquering it. Diversity creates division. The devil’s disciples are those who point their fingers at one side or another. Evil has always used the principle of dividing our attention so that we do not notice we’re being tricked.
There are natural divisions in people:
know what is real, and what isn’t.
Evil utilises this natural division to ignite dislike, fear and hatred, and gain from it. This is done by covert whisperings.
The only reality is pure consciousness.
Everything else is impermanent,
and subject to manipulation.
Pure consciousness cannot be manipulated,
but it can be and is distracted.
It starts with a seemingly innocuous suggestion:
Every time we are told something is good for the safety and welfare of children, the old and the sick, this will encompass everyone. We all have to take the same medicine. Creating cycle lanes to save the planet causes congestion, and congestion paves the way for congestion charges. đ
Going digital isn’t for our benefit. Will your carbon credit do you favours, or condemn you?
Always follow the money, follow the power, meet the devil!
Painting Our Own Future
Every time we think a thought or speak,
we are painting our own future.
The Age Of My Opinion
Opinions are beliefs â something we accept without proof that creates conflict.
As our opinions are important to us, others’ opinions are important them = conflict.
As long as we cling to our opinions, we will never know the truth beyond thoughts or words.
We’ll just become opinionated and judgemental.
Opinionated: characterised by conceited assertiveness and dogmatism.
There are many spiritual traditions having different characteristics,
and one characteristic will not suit everyone.
When opinions become dogma, we are ruled by beliefs.
An individual may have a problem requiring a solution:
a dogmatic person would say, âEveryone needs the same solutionâ.
Ultimately, darkness/opinions have to give way
to the light/wisdom that has no characteristics.
Truth comes to each open mind.
Corrupt Minds, Corrupt World
 Corrupt: from Latin corruptus,âmar, bribe, destroyâ.
We enjoy being corrupted: music, art, films, complicated coffees, technology, computers, politics, religion, media, marketing, status, celebrities, clever words ⌠toys, toys, toys to entertain us.
Govern: from Latin gubernare, âto steer, rule: to steer policies’.
Policies steer minds.
When we think, we think with a corrupted mind.
Steer: ‘castrated young – before they develop the bull’s physical characteristics.’
đ đ đ
Our potential for enlightenment is being castrated by toys.
Humanity’s Disorientation
Disorientated: having lost one’s sense of direction; confused, and unable to think clearly.
Two and a half thousand years ago, humans probably knew more about absolute reality than we do now. We have become reliant on what our ‘betters’ tell us: we went their way, and so lost our way.
When we wake up, the dream-disorientation-machine cannot work – no audience đ
For every negative, there is a positive.
Understanding this, we re-orientate,
and negative emotions become wisdom.
Facing the right way
is realising the essence of consciousness.
We are the essence of consciousness.
Relying on someone else’s essence of consciousness
merely maintains doubt.
Our path out of endarkenment
is realising that our confusion never, ever existed.
The reason for our confusion answers all questions.
Traumas Are Memories
Traumas are memories:
this is how we live our lives.
We all have memories, whether pleasant or unpleasant. Even a look or a word can stay with us for life. It’s a sticky residue. đ
Traumas can be personal, or in a family or a society. We can ‘catch’ traumas from others, and have to walk on egg shells around them ⌠and some of them – the narcissists – know this and exploit it.
All media, advertising, art, music, films, stories, politics, religion can create trauma – those little do’s and don’ts that others obey. Even in spiritual groups, someone can exaggerate their manner, because of their trauma of wanting to appear ‘good’, and so pressure is created in others. Been on the end of that sentimental fantasy! đ
Trauma is catching, like a virus. It’s how the masses can be put into a panic. The fear of fear. The idea of enlightenment put me into a turmoil! đ
We can heal all these thought patterns of behaviour by seeing that everyone is affected. These memories or thoughts are not what we are, but they do have an effect on us. We/consciousness observe this coming and going â it all comes to pass, and has no reality.
At the heart of consciousness is pure emptiness. It’s that open heart that understands. Pure consciousness expresses itself as unconditional love, compassion and empathy. Unconditional love doesn’t rely on conditions, while conditional love does â it’s picky and sticky!
Our thoughts are traumas that cause suffering, and therefore these traumas – our confusion – are our path to enlightenment. Just realise that it’s all an illusion, although it feels real.
Evil want us to believe it’s all real.
Realise that it isn’t.
