Still my companion and friend

Self as God

STILL MY COMPANION AND FRIEND

When I was a wee child, I had more real problems than anyone I ever knew, but for one thing: I also had God. Not specifically masculine and never punitive, God was (and is) my constant companion.

The discovery that this self-same Companion was my very own being, my true Self, was astronomical! And then to come into the realization that God was 100% the Self of every single person who ever trod the globe – past, present and future, was utterly life-changing, again at a very young age.

Maturing in this mind-boggling Truth, I see God absolutely everywhere – but not without concerted effort in terms of focusing deliberately and with determination that refuses to quit! My companion, my love, my Self!

THE REASON FOR THIS MESSAGE is to let you know that I still have my childhood Companion – who saved my very life on numerous occasions. I even ask for things – of a spiritual nature, of course. By the time I fully remember that God and I and everyone are ONE … by that moment, my wish is a-l-w-a-y-s granted!

Direct or Progressive path? FJ

Direct or Progressive paths, Frank Johnson

ONE SECOND OR ONE LIFETIME, WE’RE ALL AFTER THE SAME THING
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎
The path we travel in life depends largely on the instruction we have been given. Strangely, after the Buddha had died, there was an eventual split among his followers. One side advocated for a spontaneous enlightenment, while the other group said it was a process. Can you image a split in such an amazing community, when in truth, both sides were right.

In my own case, it took a good portion of lifetime of searching for some presumed key… only to realize that all that time, I was searching for “me”. (The Eye that sees is the “I” that “I am”.) Yet, another person could have just as easily awakened in a second, rather than having taken a lifetime. For many, however, it does take time to discover that the religious doctrine we’re so committed to, bears no resemblance to the reality or internal truth that we are so desperately seeking.

Unalloyed happiness -RSp & RA

Adams, Robert, Rupert Spira

When you really understand who you are, you will experience unalloyed happiness. Happiness that you only dreamed about, happiness in the Silence, when nothing is happening but you’re happy. Always happy, always at peace. All of the Gods that you have been praying to all your life, all of the Buddha’s you’ve taken refuge in, the Krishnas, the Kalmias, the Shivahs, the Christ, Allah, they’re all within you. You are that. There is only the one Self and you are That. Ponder this.

The knowledge of this brings you eternally infinite happiness instantly. When you begin to understand who you are, your Divine nature, that you are not the body, you’re not the mind, once you understand your Infinite nature, who you really are and there’s nothing else, you immediately become instantly happy. For happiness is your very nature. Happiness, the Self are synonymous. Consciousness, Absolute Reality, Pure Awareness, are all synonymous. There is only One. It has many names, but the One pervades all of space and time. And it is the only existence and you are That. There is no other existence. Awaken to this truth. You are the only One that does exist. And you are Consciousness.
~Robert Adams

And this ‘knowing’ is our self, aware presence. In other words, all that is ever experienced is our self knowing itself, awareness aware of awareness.

Convoluted path

Attachment

A very common and justifiable question in the Third dimension is “Why in the world are we here, having to go along such a convoluted path to get to where we never wanted to leave?”
The answer, although irritating, is “We aren’t.”

Answer to Convoluted Path

What if this world were never intended to be changed into a spiritual one?
What if we’re intended to wake up, one by one, and see only perfection
right where the perennial earthling sees all manner of evil
forever rearing its hydra head?

Knowing that Spirit, God, is all, I look around and realize that’s not true and that’s not real and this is not any part of reality and then I start to see what really is going on and it’s so unbelievably beautiful and perfect that I can hardly keep my eyes open but Hey that’s OK ’cause I don’t have a human body with human eyes anyway. I am fully Spirit and everything I see is Spirit as well. If you were to ask me whether I can see beyond this room that I’m in I would say What room?? Is it well with my body? What body? And how about my friends’ and families’ bodies and rooms? What friends and families? Jesus walked right through the midst of the angry crowds time and time again, knowing full well that there really wasn’t any angry crowd or any crowd at all! He saw spiritual reality right there wherever he was and right wherever anyone at any distance was!
It’s time for you and me to Wake Up And Stay Awake!!! Don’t talk about pain and sorrow and suffering and bring all of that into a state that seems like it’s real when if you just see the spiritual reality you, your friends, your family, your everything will be healed of those false beliefs that bedevil you all the time!!! Don’t go back! There is no place to go back to! Perfection is here now and you don’t need to suffer and suffer and suffer and bring everybody down around you! Pull everybody up and stay up! What about a major catastrophic threat? Will you focus on spiritual reality then? Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing to be proactive and be the observer of the glory that is right here and right there instead of the screaming mortal mind ? Right now you get to choose but you can certainly imagine a situation where it may just seem to be a little bit too late to choose… I’m just saying choose aright and rejoice right now. Tell the truth that you are perfect! Let your body go – you have none ! Be free right now! Not for a moment or a few hours or a few days – be absolutely free right now because that is exactly what you are and it’s only world mind hypnotism that is convincing you otherwise . To say all you have to do is wake up sounds a little counter-intuitive if people are so hell-bent on going right smack back into the dream again! Why do you listen to anything that is unlike Spirit, God, reality?? Don’t listen to it, don’t take it in!!! Don’t ask the same questions all the time: “what about this pain? what about that threat? what about what so-and-so said or what so-and-so is doing? Get the hell out of the 3rd dimension and stay in Spirit where you belong! This diatribe is being dictated to my recorder with the hope of benefiting every single person who takes the time to plow through it and everyone around them, in their mental purview whom their thoughts fall upon. They can all receive such a spiritual impulse when they finally say I am fed up with all the nonsense! No I am not looking around to see how the body is doing or how another person’s body is doing I am seeing perfection right here right now permanently!!!

Words cannot express just how freeing it is to have no agenda whatsoever! I’m not working for any goal in the human realm whatsoever and there’s no such thing as a goal in Spirit!! Spirit is all that there is and that certainly includes myself and everyone that may want to benefit from what I’m seeing! You can’t hurt a person who has no attachments … that’s right no attachments whatsoever! They don’t want this or that from you or me! All they can do is give give give and the more they give the more they have. Popularity??? Give me a break! I am not a slave to that stupid stupid stupid slave driver! Money? To take me away from Spirit, God, perfection, Christ, awakening, a permanent knowing that doesn’t come and go, come and go? Do I need to be first in line all the time? Do I need to have the most love buttons and other forms of proof that I’m number one? No let my every-brother be your number 1. Is there anyone that you see that you really don’t see at all because you see garbage and nonsense and world mind created poppycock?
Take this direct path with me and refuse to be bombarded by your own or anybody else’s bodily complaints and mental anxieties that just go on and on and on, ad nauseum!!! Do you really think that that junk will ever just leave of its own accord especially after you give it so much attention? If you were a pile of junk would you leave the very person that’s coddling you??!! Either Spirit, God, is true or is not! You don’t need to use the word God or the word Spirit or the word potato you simply need to understand that in the 4th dimension where there is no matter there are no material developments to go into and into and into. Yes they’re titillating at first! O my goodness they are so scintillating and captivating and impressive and the next thing you know you’re once again hopelessly lost!!! 🥵 Finally all you can hope for is that you reincarnate into something mildly tolerable, you have no choice, not with mortal mind in complete control! Get the hell out of it! Stay the hell out of it! You’re not here to do the bidding of the world mind hypnotism that has the world in its grasp seemingly yes seemingly… I said seemingly. But believe me that seemingly sure as hell seems to be very very real and very very threatening! Well guess what? it’s very very nothing! But that doesn’t do you any good at all if you don’t make enough of an effort to understand what it means and stop saying that you don’t understand. Once you know it’s true you hang on to your truth and let that truth which some call Spirit, some call God, some call Christ, some call atman, some call any other name… don’t worry about that, just be so thankful that God is all and everywhere and guess what God is all in every country in every culture and nobody needs to say a certain number of memorized sayings in order to fit in… fit in to what? All that there is In the universe is God , good, perfection, righteousness right now. Do not go back!!! Do not go back!!! Do not go back!!! And for goodness sake Don’t tell the lies of the carnal, the mortal mind to other people and pull them down!!! Why would you want to do that!!! Tell them the truth even if you’re not seeing it and feeling it as you think you would like to. If you’re thinking and you’re wanting to like to, you’re in the wrong realm. Get the hell out!!! You don’t belong in that LIE anymore.

Healing pain & anxiety

Heal Yourself

ANXIETY AND PAIN – – NOT !!

God could not have anxiety or pain, nor could I.

I’m not attached to the belief that I need or want healing.

I am in the 4th dimension where matter and all its limitations including disease, pain, suffering are unheard of.

I am Spirit itself.

THE PAIN IS GONE !!! 😚
Yay! Hallelujah! So grateful!

THE PAIN IS BACK !!! 🥵

The “pain” was never fully seen through. The above affirmations were done with 3rd dimension mindset instead of eliminating the human mind altogether. The goal had nothing to do with permanent inner healing and deepening spiritual growth. The declaration “The* pain* is* back*” includes 4 lies and no truth at all.

You could:
(a) Switch from this Direct Path attempt and apply the Progressive Path which takes you step by step through the pain as it addresses your anxiety and whatever else may be causing the discord.

Or:
(b) Re-apply the Treatment above expanding it exponentially until you really, really see the absolute unreality of anxiety and pain.

Outshining of body, mind & world -RSpira

Rupert Spira

Consciousness is the knowing with which experience is known. Body, mind, world are objects in the foreground. Consciousness is the knower in the background. Objects seem to appear TO consciousness but they’re really appearing IN consciousness. Finally we realize the objects are made OF consciousness.
THE OBJECT-NESS OF THE OBJECT BECOMES PERVADED BY THE SUBJECT-NESS OF THE SUBJECT. There’s no longer a subject and object. It’s no longer I know this object. That’s what Rupert means when he says the outshining of the body, mind and world by the light of pure consciousness. It’s not the object that dissolves but the object-ness that dissolves.
Don’t look for a magical experience with objects!
Don’t be satisfied with occasional glimpses.
The dead, inert stuff that is other than myself we call matter.
The only thing I can know of the world is the knowing of it and that knowing is my own infinite self. It’s not what we see that changes, its the way we see that changes. This seems to change what we see. It does and it doesn’t. The appearance stays the same. The appearance is no longer mistaken for the reality and because we see the reality in the appearance, the relationship with the appearance changes.
Maya is the appearance. Ignorance is to mistake the appearance for reality. When the subject object relationship collapses the separate me in here – inside my chest and the separate world out there – collapses it is felt as Joy and peace. In relationship to people it’s love; in relationship to objects its beauty. When SAT and CHIT (being and consciousness) are one, the third element shines and that element is happiness. What I essentially am CHIT and what it essentially is – existence – are seen to be one and the same and this third element, the experience of happiness, peace or joy, shines = SAT CHIT ANANDA.
