I DO NOT WANT YOU TO AGREE WITH ME, I DO NOT WANT YOU TO FOLLOW ME, I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING.

I want to do a certain thing in the world and I am going to do it with unwavering concentration. I am concerning myself with only one essential thing: to set humanity free. I desire to free humanity from all cages, from all fears.
If there are only five people who will listen, who have their faces turned towards eternity, it will be sufficient. Of what use is it to have thousands who do not understand, who are fully embalmed in prejudice, who do not want the new, but would rather translate the new to suit their own sterile, stagnant selves?
As I have said, I have only one purpose: to make humanity free, to urge you towards freedom, to help you to break away from all limitations, for that alone will give you eternal happiness, will give you the unconditioned realization of the Self.
I am free, unconditioned, whole, not the part, not the relative, but the whole Truth that is eternal.
That is the only way to judge: in what way are you dangerous to every society which is based on the false and the unessential?
I do not want you to agree with me, I do not want you to follow me, I want you to understand what I am saying.
I say that you must look within yourselves for the enlightenment, for the glory, for the purification.
I maintain that the only spirituality is the incorruptibility of the Self which is eternal, is the harmony between reason and love. This is the absolute, unconditioned Truth which is Life itself. I want therefore to set you absolutely, unconditionally free, rejoicing as the bird in the clear sky, unburdened, independent, ecstatic in that freedom.

Transcending need for teacher -JK
TRANSCENDING ALL INEQUALITY: NO NEED FOR A TEACHER, GUIDE, LEADER

So the problem is not how to contact Masters and devas but how to transcend the sense of inequality; seeking to contact Masters is the pursuit of the very, very dull. When you know yourself, you know the Master. A real Master cannot help you because you have to understand yourself. We are all the time pursuing phony Masters; we seek comfort, security, and we project the kind of Master we want, hoping that Master will give us all that we desire. Since there is no such thing as comfort, the problem is much more fundamental—that is, how to go beyond this sense of inequality. Wisdom is not the struggle to become more and more.
Now, is it possible to transcend the sense of inequality? For inequality is there, we cannot deny it. What happens when we do not deny inequality, when we do not come to it with a prejudiced mind, but face it? There is the dirty village, and there is also the nice clean house—both are what is. How do you approach ugliness and beauty? In that lies the solution. The beautiful you wish to be identified with, and the ugly you put aside. For the inferior you have no consideration, but for the superior you have the greatest consideration and deference. Your approach is identification with the higher and rejection of the lower; you look upward with cringing and downward with contempt.
Inequality can be transcended only when we understand our approach to it. As long as we resist the ugly and identify ourselves with the beautiful, there is bound to be all this misery. But, if we approach inequality without condemnation, identification, or judgment, then our response is entirely different. Please try it, and you will see what an extraordinary change occurs in your life. The understanding of what is brings contentment—which is not the contentment of stagnation, not the contentment caused by the possession of property, of an idea, of a woman. Contentment is the state of approach to what is as it is, without any barrier whatsoever. Then only is there love, the love which destroys the sense of inequality, and this is the only thing that is revolutionary, that can transform. Since we have not that flame of revolution, we fill our hearts and minds with ideas of revolution of the left or the right, the modification of what has been. That way there is no hope. The more you reform, the greater the need for further reforms.

Coming out of deep illusion -rjs
I F . I T . I S . T R U E
If it is true that Spirit, God, is all as Quantum Physics’ “non-existence of matter” implies, then doesn’t it behoove us to dig a little deeper spiritually? Wouldn’t you like to know what really is going on and how much more its awareness can impact your life?
Let’s revisit the illusion now since that’s where we walk everyday. Like it or not, our awakening is gradual – not necessarily slow – but graded. We need to eat and sleep, work and play. But as we learn just how illusory it all is we can embark on the most exciting journey of our life: our exit from this world.
Going deeper into the illusion, we come face to face with the issue of death and reincarnation. How is that not the destiny of all material so-called life? And what’s the deal with karma? It also makes perfect sense for any unenlightened mortal!
Am I whetting your appetite for something better? It’s all about awakening. To your consciousness. Which is what you are! Imagine yourself expanding: you contain the room, the building, the country, the world. That’s what being Spirit means.
But what about reality? That is reality! – the only reality! It’s everybody’s present and permanent reality but most people won’t awaken in this lifetime.
How about you?

Routing out Mental Malpractice -rjs

MENTAL MALPRACTICE?
It’s worth being made aware of. When things seem to start going wrong even though you’ve been well plugged in spiritually with much consistency, it could be that your distress is caused by another’s mental malpractice.
The easiest way to describe it is to contrast mental malpractice with its antipode – prayer. In meditation or prayer, one seeks to connect lovingly with God, remembering that God’s entire creation includes everyone, bar none. Mental malpractice is beholding this creation with a selfish, self- serving desire to do harm – either on purpose or inadvertently.
In this hypnotic world we call home, much jealousy, egotism, and downright cruelty are the norm. We think it’s all happening “out there” when in fact nothing exists outside our own consciousness. People subconsciously or semi-consciously project their own insecurity onto others, which, if not challenged, could – seemingly – register a deleterious effect.
It’s all taken care of by the alert person who maintains constant spiritual contact. A simple negation is all that’s needed. But for those of us who tend to step out into the seductive world of everyday living, a general sense of vulnerability seems to reign.

Via negativa – Path of negation
Jim Newman • Vienna • Sept 2020
Nothing needs to happen for seeking to end. There is no happening.
Position 40….It’s not that there’s a knowing or not knowing or an unknowing. That has nothing to do with it but the seeking seeking seeking not realizing that there is no end to all the seeking. It’s a dead end path. All that there is is this what you see right now. No there’s no accountability there’s nothing to strive for there is nothing to get there’s nothing I can give you or we can give you or you can strive for and eventually attain. there’s none of that. It’s like everything that you could possibly do to try to get enlightened, become aware, open your mind, anything at all, is futile because it goes nowhere. Round and round and round and round equals nowhere. So questioning oneself that’s called self enquiry goes nowhere. Studying books on Enlightenment takes you nowhere. Why? Because you’re already here! it’s this is it! And when you realize it, it’s like WOW!!! I Robin am remembering a lot of this from other episodes with Jim Newman and I just included it here – it’s pretty much what he always talks about. It’s pretty amazing if you wanna know the truth!
Out of religion
“But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, what no human “mind” has ever conceived…the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
Not only had I transcended the concept or idea of exactly what I had been taught, that “God” is…(which, as a former pastor, resulted in enormous criticism…”She doesn’t even believe in God anymore!)…but I found myself also beyond the limiting condition of “thought”…of the mind, if you will…as well. And I assure you…there is a place…Beyond mind.
I can tell you from my own experience, that most will not grasp what I am saying here, and even more, will not be interested in grasping at this point, as they are totally identified and submerged in an egoic state of consciousness. NO VACANCY…is the sign hung at the door of their hearts presently. But for those that are beginning to rub the sleep from their eyes, and with each one who awakens, the momentum in the collective consciousness of humanity grows, and it becomes easier for others.
This is what I came to know. Not until it becomes clear to you to “let go” of trying to understand, of grasping and seeking, and instead “relax” (and I emphasize…RELAX) “back into” the very ground and effortless being that you are… will you suddenly realize…YOU ARE…what you were seeking the whole time. But not the mind-made idea who you are, the true essence and reality is what is being spoken of. After all my own grasping, reaching and seeking for decades for the very core of truth and reality, this is what suddenly and effortlessly opened-up and flowered, what Jesus and ancient sages of old pointed to…the Kingdom is Within. What I came to understand.
An understanding that has nothing to do with comprehension. A knowing that has nothing to do with knowledge. And yet admittingly and ironically, seeking has it’s place…until…it no longer does.
Everybody has “eyes to see and ears to hear”…but readiness must be present. It is to those I share. ❤️
