Death not a problem -RAdams

“If you’re dying of a disease this is no problem. Why is this a problem? It doesn’t mean anything. For when you die what happens to you? Nothing. But yet you don’t understand this, some of you. You feel death to be a threat. You feel death to be something horrible. Some horrendous enemy that sneaks up on you, like a vampire and grabs you and pulls you in some dark hole. Of course most of us here know this is not death at all.

Death is simply a change from where you are now, that’s all. There is nothing bad about it, there is nothing good about it. Just like your life right now. It isn’t good, it isn’t bad. But it is your thinking that makes it good or bad”

Illusions, Illusions, Illusions! -rjs

When we ponder the world
and all its titillating eccentricities,
replete with heartache and pain,
wistfully wondering what Spirit
might be like …,
immortal Milton depicted it
as a great white light –
could it really inspire such
abject boredom?
It behooves us to pass “Go”
and head directly for
The Fifth Dimension itself.
When? Where? How?
Now. Here. Focus.
It’s hard to imagine
in our puny pea-brains
just how exquisite, wonderful,
delicious, thrilling, altogether
lovely and loving
This realm of spiritual sublimity
really is.
But how can we know with those
tiny fallible minds of ours?
We Can Not.
Therein lies the key:
the realm of pure Spirit is entirely spiritual.
And the onus is upon us alone
to adjust our receptors and
make way for a whole new way
of perceiving.

Aren’t there things you know but don’t live in accord with? Don’t you sometimes feel like a bloomin’ hypocrite? But what’re ya gonna do? Lol.

Just don’t let your thoughts smooth everything out. A Balance between matter and Spirit is really bad news. It’s terribly deceptive because, were there not a balance, it might not have seemed so tenable. Striking a balance between the two implies that you are certainly not entirely Spirit, and if you’re not entirely Spirit then you are entirely matter. At least that’s what is in the back of your mind.

There is a much better way and that is to know and understand you are entirely Spirit. Whatever you might see or feel in the world is Illusion. The fact that the entire world is sharing that illusion is precisely why you’re seeing it and you’re living and functioning in it.

The good news is you don’t have to subscribe to it. You can see absolute truth exactly as it is, where you are 100% Spirit, the soul of God, the Christ of God, the very being of God – and you know it very clearly and distinctly. You have no doubt whatsoever. Then the illusion that you share with other people – the rest of the world – you happen to know is an illusion and therefore you have dominion over it. The others however won’t realize that about themselves yet.

Pursuit of higher consciousness -rjs

In spite of having experienced thousands – literally thousands – of healings and possibly millions of miracles, I still find myself deeply engrossed in the pursuit of higher consciousness.

However, we really need to talk about addiction because that is the whole bugaboo with hypnotism, where miracles are unknown. It is addiction to what we’ve always thought was the way things are. As a matter of fact, our very own world hypnotism that we bow down to every hour of every day is rooted and grounded in addiction.

And dreaming … waking to our immortality … then dreaming again … reawakening to our immortality again … and z-z-z back to dreamland. Wake up! Back asleep. At least we’re finally trying. We’ve got to never give up and at last it’ll start getting easier.

Speaking of dreaming, as long as you believe in incarnation – that is living in a material fleshly body – you might as well believe in reincarnation because it certainly does make perfect sense and can be validated by many other deeply hypnotized persons of persuasion.

This bears repeating:
“WE THINK BECAUSE OUR EYES ARE OPEN WE CAN’T BE DREAMING BUT WE’RE ONLY DREAMING THAT OUR EYES ARE OPEN.”
Herb Fitch
Beyond Reincarnation
San Diego Transition Seminar

The same sentiments were echoed by the late Dr. Albert Ellis, a personal friend of mine and of Dr. Wayne Dyer:
“How do you expect a drunk man to act? Sober?”

When our (spiritual) eyes are truly open and miracles are simply a way of life for us, then we can join with our fellow sages who declare “There are no healings” and “There are no miracles” because both have become the norm for us.

Don’t do battle, let it hit up against you -JSG

Dissolve appearances

You have got to learn that whether it’s unemployment, or insanity, or cancer, or consumption, don’t treat those as conditions, treat them as appearances, or suggestions, and then let them hit up against your mind that is imbued with truth, and you’ll start to do healing work even before you are reborn. But your rebirth will come about more quickly, and the more you can hold to the truth, and let these appearances hit up against it without doing battle with them. Don’t you do battle with the appearances! You let the appearances hit up against your mind that is imbued with truth; the appearances will dissolve.

D.: What is to be done by us for ameliorating the condition of the world?

M.: If you remain free from pain, there will be no pain anywhere. The trouble now is due to your seeing the world externally and also thinking that there is pain there. But both the world and the pain are within you. If you look within there will be no pain.

D.: God is perfect. Why did He create the world imperfect? The work shares the nature of the author. But here it is not so.

M.: Who is it that raises the question?

D.: I – the individual.

M.: Are you apart from God that you ask this question?
So long as you consider yourself the body you see the world as external. The imperfections appear to you. God is perfection. His work also is perfection. But you see it as imperfection because of your wrong identification.

D.: Why did the Self manifest as this miserable world?

M.: In order that you might seek it. Your eyes cannot see themselves. Place a mirror before them and they see themselves. Similarly with the creation. “See yourself first and then see the whole world as the Self.”

D.: So it amounts to this – that I should always look within.

M.: Yes.

D.: Should I not see the world at all?

M.: You are not instructed to shut your eyes from the world. You are only to “see yourself first and then see the whole world as the Self”. If you consider yourself as the body the world appears to be external. If you are the Self the world appears as Brahman.

Disallow your conditioning! -RAdams

You were not born to have bad experiences in your life. You were not born to have negative conditions in your life, so-to-speak. You were born to be happy. Yet you allow the conditionings of the world to affect you. You allow your bodily condition to affect you. What the newspapers tell you, what the TV tells you, you respond to these things.

This is the only reason that you’re not enlightened, so-to-speak. For you have allowed exterior conditions, external conditions to make up your mind how things are. Things are things and that’s it. They’re not good, they’re not bad.

THE DANCING WU LI MASTERS

  • – – – – – – – – – –
    In English, which is an atonal language,… different ideograms are written and pronounced the same way. For example, there are over eighty different “Wu”s in Chinese, all of which are spelled and pronounced the same way in English. Al Huang has taken five of these “Wu”s, each of which, when combined with “Li,”produces a different “Wu Li,” each with the same English spelling, and each pronounced (in English) “Woo Lee.” The first Wu Li means “Patterns of Organic Energy.”This is the Chinese way of saying “physics.” (Wu means “matter”or “energy”). The second Wu Li means “My Way.” (Wu means “mine”or “self.”) The third Wu Li means “Nonsense.”(Wu means “void”or “nonbeing.”) The fourth Wu Li means “I Clutch My Ideas.”(Wu means “to make a fist”or “clutch with a closed hand.”) The fifth Wu Li means “Enlightenment.”(Wu means “enlightenment”or “my heart/ my mind.”) If we were to stand behind a master weaver as he begins to work his loom, we would see, at first, not cloth, but a multitude of brightly colored threads from which he picks and chooses with his expert eye, and feeds into the moving shuttle. As we continue to watch, the threads blend one into the other, a fabric appears, and on the fabric, behold! A pattern emerges. In a similar manner, Al Huang has created a beautiful tapestry from his own epistemological loom: PHYSICS = WU LI Wu Li = Patterns of Organic Energy
    Wu Li = My Way
    Wu Li = Nonsense
    Wu Li = I Clutch My Ideas
    Wu Li = Enlightenment
