Intro:
What if everything you believed was right, but yet was completely misunderstood?
What if knowing that this was only the tip of the ice-berg would you want to know the truth… to truly understand?
If knowledge is power, what if the truth you found you were as an observer locked out, held helplessly above an abyss, viewing event below you that you cannot change?
Declaration of Truth:
Humanity seeks power, knowledge, yet lacks understanding and wisdom – and the discernment to even tell the difference.
We have the zealots and the martyrs, as well as the blood of the prophets spilled by a generation who does not understand that in their self-proclaimed innocence that they are as naive as their predecessors who wiped out those who led to the progress we all take for granted in modern day society.
Every place has its thing:
Surely you must realize by now that its all beyond us.
No, Im not speaking of the blind worship to a God[s] who long left us desolate to find out for ourselves we are not alone, yet remain puppets and slaves to that which we cannot see.
We pour our gratitude on those who exhibit powers – we do not understand and do not contemplate, or even deem it worthy to contemplate such greatness does not make one great.
The words and ability for comprehension alludes us as we ourselves, in our blindness, not wanting to see, grope around yelling out for answers that we care not to hear.
Savior crucified:
The savior is crucified time and again, yet only once has the savior been crucified – in our hearts and minds is the savior put up to hang, while in our own dark hearts we cease to yield to the consciousness in whom we have being.
Are we mere puppets controlled by an ruthless soul?
Does it matter if these dark powers prevail? To what extent is control and to what extent can a man be free if he does not wish to see? And then we must ask what is freedom as its tied into the very essence of consciousness… which is something, I dare say, humanity does not yet have.
Frozen Hell:
Trapped in a frozen state in time, peering out at what is, and learning the truth for which has been sought… the reality is as beautiful as the moment of the dawn of time, yet as frightening as the realization of the frozen wasteland of hell to which no man will escape until his/her service of eternity is slowly eaten up and expired.
Each cell and molecule readjusted, ready for re-birth, yet in this reincarnation of soul it is not what is implied by minds of yesteryear, but from the depths of knowing – yet not for the soul into which this happens, making their fate no worse than that of a being who would reincarnate, as if into an animal, unconscious of who he/she is and to what purpose their being has after their long slumber.
To reunite spirit and soul, is not to each man given… as the ‘good book’ puts it – some are but mere clay pots to be put for the fire, “who are you oh man to question your destiny?”
Pretty rough reality in that book, and yet many dont understand, less they drop into despair as to its true meaning. And what of the clay pot who learns of its use, imagine the reality of a block of stone before it is chiseled away and what was is transformed to something else. – oh, yes, find the beauty in this you will – yet not know what this means in regards to destiny.
Who will lift the the that which has become alive to become unto itself its own? The fires have passed many, yet few, through – what is left to this I do not know.
Conclusion:
Much can be said, but nothing would be understood. Tone, meaning, etc. – who am I to say anything to anyone, yet I share if – if even in the most obscure manner – my thoughts which are common to all who have the spark of life within them.
Solomon is to be paid heed to if one wishes to have a better grip on that which is important, and this may act as the catalyst for a global awakening which again will share with us the tree of life taken from us, oh so long ago in the garden.
Yet, I will say that such hopes, are a reflection of the clay which has taken unto itself life, now knowing the necessity of a bond between it and that from which it came – yet that from which it comes out… well look at human nature, it says all – but first you must know the meaning of all for the answer to be forthcoming.
Intro:
Countless people, of diversified backgrounds, hold the belief that there is indeed something more out there, or that there is at least the possibility of Extra-Terrestrial Life… life that exist on other planets beyond our own blue-marble in the sky.
Even the Pope has given his permission, as if any were needed, that its o.k. to believe in Extra-Terrestrial Life. This in itself give rise to the claims that so-called ‘disclosure’ of the truth is immanent.
E.T. already here:
The very fact of Extra-Terrestrial existence is exactly why no true ‘disclosure’ will ever happen.
Given the scenario that some form of disclosure ever happens, you may want to ask yourself how is it that out of the countless millennia the earth has existed, only now has an Extra-Terrestrial life form come in contact with our own?
And to take it further, can you imagine how deep the lies run throughout the system who have kept a lid on such activities? Surely how Extra-Terrestrial information is disclosed will focus more on the future vs. the truth that lies behind in the past.
And those that own history can easily control the future… or at least keep common opinion in check. The veins or roots to the thoughts briefly presented here run deep and all connect in coherency. This is only a pointer and each person will see as far as their vision will allow them to… hopefully getting beyond the finger which reveals something grander that lies beyond itself.
History says it all:
Extra-Terrestrial Life form does indeed exist, after all what is life?
Even renowned physicist Michio Kaku points out that basically we would not necessarily know an Extra-Terrestrial Life form if it hit us in the face. It would be like ants living by a large super-highway being built.
We are quite arrogant and naive as a human species, as well as good regurgitaters of information inputted into our ‘data’ systems. [a.k.a., the human brain.] We are not unlike robots at all, just different material. Ponder this for awhile and what technology is and then ponder it some more and see where it leads you.
After all our cries for the truth, we want to be spoon fed what to believe. We have grown addicted for our own need for drama.
History itself, in archeological finds, as well as in ancient religious literature, clearly paints the picture of Extra-Terrestrial interaction between those native to earth and those who are not. Though realizing that the very make up of our being is shown to have elements from star systems far from our own, shows that we to our an Extra-Terrestrial Life Form.
Creation & Evolution:
The division and debate between science and religion has been down right polarized from the get go, and for good enough reason. Anyone daring to paint with broader strokes can see the implication that the two bring together in agreement with both science and religion.
The very ‘gods’ that the ancients worshipped of various religions, will perhaps be reintroduced, not as gods, but as a technically far advanced superior race – for all intent and purposes they will be our gods as they will lead and guide us down the path that they so desire.
Very similar to how governments guide their people down paths that stay unchanged despite the shows of polarities that are displayed in the public media as entertainment value to give the feeling that true change has occured. When in reality the same agendas continue on, unquestioned by the masses.
While it is true the masses make up the [un]conscious collective, you must understand that while it is unconscious then it can be guided by the few that are.
Possessed and not knowing it:
The ego very much is like an Extra-Terrestrial entity feeding off of what could be called evolving containers… not quite ‘conscious’, so to the ego its like an animal to be controlled, and the vessel is moved without regard to the host will.
Many intelligent minds have pointed to this: Carl Jung, Eckhart Tolle, & even Jesus Christ. [Though I doubt Christ was his last name]
The Bible mentions we wrestle not against flesh and blood, and I do say that those in the religious world would be well advised to take more seriously what they believe, though many of them lie in the surface layer of parables given to them. Believing in something that obviously is meant as a pointer to all the generations… a guide to help humanity to evolve past its current reliance on this foreign host that has overtaken us.
Does this mean a war on the ego? By no means, co-existence is now part of evolution, it means to become aware and move to the next level. Just like the fact that there are foreign elements to our body in order for its function. This does not leave one possessed, as it were, for once you realize you are possessed – you no longer are.
This is a bit deep and words do not do justice and the pointer can easily be lost.
Conclusion:
Your Extra-Terrestrials are not coming, as they are already here and have been here. Is it the ego? Is it a ‘being’?, etc.? Dont get lost in the forest, take a step back to feel the bigger picture.
Until people awaken we will never – and I mean never – be handed on a silver plate the truth of how we came about, though the manner of our servitude to something beyond who we believe we are is quite evident, and this service we will remain.
Can two societies equally exist? One knowing the full truth and the other not… of course, and its happening now.
Can one wake up? Of course one can wake up, but that one can never wake anyone else up… its pointless even trying. Then why write? For the fun of it.
Intro:
“if we’re altogether screaming
why can’t we make a sound
’cause the dirt on which we’re stepping
is the one in which we will be found” – Mika
Clarity:
Nothing like keeping it real – made of dirt/clay and mostly water… how egoic can we get? My god how life is taken so seriously.
Solomon righty questioned the destiny of both the fool and the wise as well as pointing out the irony between the two. This is something I often ponder, and to some extent can relate to.
I would not trade the whole world for its riches for that which I now understand – regardless of how minuscule this knowledge may seem. Indeed, I would count myself fortunate if I were to merely be able to emulate that which I have learned from the likes of Eckhart Tolle, etc.
Things are clear, yet as Paul pointed out, the mind has to be renewed and this is a process. We are like a harddrive that has been wiped clean, but remember that info is not really gone, it has to be written over first, and even then several times before the old info is gone.
The world is mechanical in a sense and you can compare everything to technology, ie., humans to artificial intelligence, etc. Things actually make sense of some of insane stubborn ways when you see it with this paradigm.
Gain the world & loose your soul?:
Im stuck in a world where I see the possibilities, but yet appear to lack the resources to make much of the knowledge I have. Yet instead of regretting this, it seems that the important part is my life and how I live what I already know.
If I were to gain the world, yet loose my soul, as it were, would this treasure be better? Would it not be wise to seek that which only two others have found before us? Perhaps, but then again, I am constantly being reminded that each thing/person/place has a specific reason and that which is for me is for me alone.
[reminds me of the matrix with Morpheus telling Neo that the Oracles message is to him and for him alone.]
While we are united, we are at the same time unique, and our roads merely cross and some run parallel, but not for long… What does it all mean, especially when you ponder the concepts of being the shadow of God, as it were. There is a curtain and the light shines through and we are merely the curtains shadow… how would it feel if you were a cartoon and one day realized you were animated to do what you currently are doing, and above you are your higher self, as it were, watching this drama…
Observation of Society:
Time is a thing of interest – the very fact that there is birth & death, a beginning and an end. Growing up it was always hard to imagine eternity, and even harder to imagine how God could have existed outside of time… thanks to the leaps in the teaching abilities we now have people who can express complex thoughts in comic book style for people like myself to get.
I by no means am clever, in many ways Im an observer. Life interest me, and I watch, ponder, and theorize. That may not sound like much, but without the observer what good are the works?
I have watched the behavior of both society and my own actions/reactions within society and realize the burden we all share – its as if we all strive to ‘be’ not realizing we ‘are’. There are no words to properly put this, and the words that are there have been used already in far more efficient terms than what I am currently trying to do.
Filters of the mind:
True, I like to share my thoughts, as its like its pushing an energy back to the universe which gave me insights which I currently have… yet I realize that what I push out is not what will be received, as the information is filtered through each persons field of knowing. [i.e., their current take on life, their mental grid system which filters the info coming in to conform to that which they know... its the process to fit everything somewhere, though usually the fit is far from proper... yet this to has its own time and place, as they are learning something that is relevant specifically to them.]
When its all said and done the bodies go back to the dust… what survives it? As solomon well pointed out who knows if the spirit of the righteous rises and/or if the spirit of the wicked descends? We only know for sure what we have experienced/seen. Much like Thomas who would not believe until he thrust his hand into the Lord… there is actually something to this, and I do not believe it made Thomas any less than any other disciples… perhaps John recognized Jesus because of him being and understanding the part of the beloved.
Yet even with the story of the disciples, do they not reflect a greater truth which is that each part we see is an aspect of us? We all have the doubter, the zealot, and the trader in us. All roles are in us and in us all roles are fulfilled. Everything is a microcosm of the macrocosm.
Point of it all:
Me writing this does not matter one thing or another, and I have failed to get in the flow of what it is I wanted to say. Its all inside, I feel it, yet the words do not come out, and those that come out do poorly at reflecting my current musings.
The ego, that part of us we take as ourself… the ‘I’ the ‘id’, we can cooperate, I suppose once we realize it is not who we are, perhaps this is what was meant to be at the beginning. “Your body is the temple of the spirit within you” – again, things are pointers if you take word for word what I say and try to fit it into what you think is being said, youll go nuts… or think Im nuts. [the latter doesn't concern me though.]
Political strife, etc. – yet in a way the ego is playing the puppets they control. Each leader is in a ring with the other…and each move is made in mind of keeping control. It seems that the greed of corporations can know no end revealing the real pirates… and on and on it goes. The cycle of life seems to go to those who do not wish to make a better world, but then you realize that this only reflects mass consciousness. If you were to replace any of the ‘kooks’ of the messed up system, you would get the same exact result… as nothing has changed internally.
… and the wheel turns:
Yes, Im part of this system, and its obvious Im here to learn a thing or two. Seeing what is happening does not necessarily mean you have moved to not being part of the problem. Does the actions, etc. show otherwise? Is there still fear, worry, and a sense of proving one to be better or a feeling of being worse? Then its still ego in charge and no wonder nothing changes whenever there is a shift of the guard.
One steps down to be replaced by something even worse. I saw this within the zeitgeist movement. A wonderful concept, but [certain] people filled with fear of the religious that its as if the ball had turned, and instead of mercy and seeing what religion offered it was time to not give freedom of speech to anyone with a religious view.
This is natural… you get burnt you want to burn back – but that is the very root of the problem, and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Jesus clarified this stuff up long ago when he said, “you have heard… but I tell you… turn the other cheek”, etc. Seems no one understood Moses, their level of understanding was less than the apes perhaps… Jesus came along and had to put it in clearer terms, and yet 2000 years we still havent evolved. Sure less hair, some of us, than an ape – but our actions show a different story.
point proven:
What does it matter all of this? Why are we so passionate to prove our way? Who is right and making the other wrong? Love is acceptance and remembers no wrong, as Paul put it, yet all we do – especially Christians – is nail each other to crosses daily. lol
God, I swear there are probably no true Christians.
Are you offended by this? Then the point is proven… is it better to be so identified with a label that you ready to make war, within yourself that is, over statements that really dont matter in and of themselves, as they point far beyond themselves… so far you could never reach it traveling slower than light speed… its the jump past light speed when things become clear. When your out of the system and see it all together, and realize its a quilt work with each patch connected to the other…how unlikely some of the patches may seem, together it makes a beautiful picture.
So, I have only myself to blame.
Where is my center? I have listened to Eckhart years on out… do I live constantly in awareness of that which I know, or am I living with the ‘old man’ or old style with comfortable theories in my head while my actions show differently?
Understanding where your at:
If I have peace inside it goes to say that though I be in hell I am in heaven… as my situation no longer dictates my outcome. Much like the fiery furnace. But heh, the ego is there – who wouldnt mind thinking that enlightenment means a nice sunny future… no ego, yet a pool beside the beach in Hawaii where people leave you alone. LOL
Old ways mixed with new. Not saying that you cannot have the riches of the world, but in truth you will know where your at if you have peace where your at. If your depended on the change around you… there is still something to be learned, and after all – in this case, it was my choice… my choice to want to have an authentic life. So authenticity first, and this may include wealth riches, or not… but more than likely nothing that will turn into an idol to distract that which is my goal… nothing to deceive me into believing I have peace, when if it was yanked out it would show otherwise.
What are the blessings in life, so often those are overlooked – its the desire of having that we often are faced with… the simplicity of enjoying what your doing, and if not stopping it, is to far away from an egoic state of mind.
Conclusion:
Aikido has been an interesting ride for me here in Hungary… as I dont know the language well enough in a place that deals primarily with egos… and people wanting to ‘be’. [Same in the religious world where people try to prove themselves.]
Not being able to put up a defense has allowed me to watch others as well as myself and my feelings that arise… instead of cleverly talking around a situation to get it to fit my ego, I get to watch the ego as it slowly dies, and realize there was never any substance to that which I would have wanted to otherwise defend.
Of course as real as this is, its still something that has to be consciously practiced.
What happens when one achieves the state of living a life as prescribed by Eckhart? Suppose at that point it truly wouldnt matter… though with the passions we have, I do ponder if doors open up. I have some wild ideas and dreams, that would take a budget of… well, no budget as there is not the money for it.
But here I am, writing after 11pm a long blog which is much to do about nothing! lol, only God and myself know exactly what is on my mind…
Intro:
You know man has long wondered if we are alone in space.
Throughout time we have looked to the stars and pondered if there were other life forms out there.
Well today we know in science that there are multitudes of other life forms swarming through the universe… in fact the universe is ‘life.,
Admittedly most people automatically limit the term ‘life form’ to that of something we consider to be on the same level of intelligence as we are, but that in itself is self restricting as we have nothing to compare to – or rather we are quite biased and judgmental in regards to what we believe intelligence is.
Many micro life forms on this plane can be said to be quite intelligent indeed, the question remains, is intelligence defined by the one who can squash the other with a boot? God forbid, but in the series of ‘evolution’ of things it seems that this too has its place.
Religion & E.T.
The thought of other beings has often been a concern to those in the religious communities, after all, what does this mean in regards to the Bible and the plan of salvation, i.e. Christianity?
Again, in our own reasoning, which is short of the complex multifunctional level intelligence of the universe as a whole, we miss many points and project our limited views around ideas in which we have no clue of what we are talking about.
The simplest solution is to either say there is nothing else out there, again, the universe is teaming with ‘life forms’, whether it be on a microscopic scale is another question indeed…and the opposite may be more surprising to many if they would understand the concept that we are part of a greater whole then our own body. [much like Pauls bit about being part of the body of Christ, think to the stories of the constellations and their creation in the greek mythos, etc. Again you will have to see the greater whole, or risk being stuck in the parable level of any system...]
The other simple solution is to say they are demonic. This, why not entirely true, hold enough truth to move to the next phase of answering the question of, “if ‘they’ are out there…where have ‘they’ been?”
Where the E.T.s hide:
Now it must be pointed out, that this is not all encompassing as our view on E.T. is based on the idea of something like ‘us’ being out there. We view life based on our experiences and would not even recognize something with more intelligence if it slapped us in the face. Sure we would feel the slap, but not have a clue from where it was coming from.
Reminds me of what Michio kaku once said, which was basically, “we could be living by a level 3 civilization and not know it… much like an ant hill would not know what the highway was that was overlaid on top, or beside its ant hill.”
[Rough paraphrase, but it makes the point... we again have limited this topic to that of another 'us' being out there.]
The fact is, it would seem, is that if there were another intelligent race they would have found us by now, as many opponents to the idea of E.T. ‘life’ state.
But…
E.T. is here with us… since the beginning: Part I
Now truth be told, many will latch on to the idea of the E.T.s being demonic in origin, there is much in theology that needs to be cleared up about this, but first lets look into religion, etc. as they are good pointers to the truth of what is happening.
We have stories in recent years from the likes of David Icke who claim our world is in the control of the likes that you would find in the movie ‘V’, and then youtube is amok with “shapeshifting” videos, and the rest of the world calling these people kooks.
Again, the middle ground must be sought, as everything has a seed of truth in it if it has any substance at all…
Which is crazier, shape-shifting reptilians ruling the world, or a talking snake in a garden with legs getting Adam and Eve to sin… which millions believe in.
“But oh, science proves that the snake could once walk” … oh, and did it prove it could talk?
See, Im not criticizing religious thinking, only trying to point out the vast amount of hypocrisy that goes on… not only in religious milieus but even in the UFO/Alien research groups.
I have been astonished at the amount of people who believe in “E.T” but are 100% certain that an “E.T” is not reptilian and cannot shape shift and cannot rule the world.
Fact of the matter is, if there is “E.T.” who makes these guys behind their computer keyboards, who have not even seen another country, let alone another galaxy, a master of what E.T. life would look like as well as what they could do.
And as far as controlling the human race, how is that far fetched? No more far-fetched then the greed we see in corporations today trying to hide their actions to control in some law which looks like its for the good of the people, when the obvious affects are the peoples oppression.
In this situation, does it matter who is in control?
E.T. is here with us… since the beginning: Part II
So, differences aside, and the reality the only sources available for us to go by are stories past down to us from our religious text and tales of our kin-folk, etc.
[and the military documents which may or may not give any real insight into whats going on that have been declassified in various countries recently.]
One point you find is the common theme of “underground”.
Some say there is a hollow earth, and many argue the earth is not hollow. I say, who cares about semantics? Cant get any where with your head up your arse. lol
[This is all well and good, but you move at a faster pace if you try to see the bigger picture which then helps you to unravel the smaller pieces and where they go.]
This theme runs in stories told by various “military” personal of ships coming… not from outer space, but from out of the ocean.
Think for a moment to the book of enoch and its story of the punishment of the angels who had stones hurled upon them until the end of time, as well as Revelation where the demon is unleashed from the great river Euphrates, and then to Greek mythology with its beast of the sea, etc.
Ever parable points to a greater truth. The fall of the watcher to man, etc. in the Bible. This is an “E.T” visit of sorts which shows we have had visitors, for better or for worse, since the dawn of time.
Now for the evangelical it would be well for them to read the Bible and not to say, “well the flood was to wipe out that evil generation and its seed” – it may have been, but the same book you got that info from is the same book that said “they were there before and after the flood”.
It seems that our theology and angelology lacks. For the most part no one reads the Bible, and instead of putting something on the “shelf” until an answer comes, they work in what they call “absolutes” – this makes them feel safer when in the real world you cannot get to white without traversing the greys from black, and vice versa. Even Paul says that man is without excuse as nature shows God, and indeed it does show natural laws, and the shades of grey policy is the clearest that even a kid who picks up a pencil for the first time gets this concept.
Also, it says, “my people perish for a lack of knowledge” – not for a “lack of dogma”.
And it says, “seek with all your heart”, not “most of it”, nor “within the confines of your doctrine.”
Jesus was bold, be true to yourself and where you are at, is it time for some Aleister Crowley reading? May help. [Yes, I can hear the fear in many at this idea an the caveats being proclaimed. In truth, its the fear that keeps a person in bondage and which helps to create another disciple who is yet "twice the son of hell" - which I have written concerning this here at my blog.]
“Fear not, do not worry,”, etc.
Conclusion: The true rulers revealed…
The last bit was necessary as a pointer, as many people stay within the confines of that which has been repeated to them and stop short of actually finding and then die off having passed on their narrow and many times incorrect interpretation of the truth.
The fact of the existence of “E.T” and who they may be as to where they may be from, is irrelevant to the single most factor of love… love of God, of whom we all have the spark of within us, for as it is written: “in him we live and move and have our being” – we are all connected to the “body of Christ” therefore [and if Jewish, the body of Adam, all one and the same... different terminology]… and so we must learn to love ourselves so that we can then “love our neighbor as ourselves”… as we realize there is no neighbor.
Once you do the basic, the rest is a game to explore, and you can see how amazing this whole story of creation really is. And you will see possibilities that were hidden within plain site and now revealed to you, step by step…
So Im for the idea of any “E.T” life already being here… and infact the Bible says the world belongs to “Satan”… what all this means who knows… but on one level we can say for sure that humanity is ruled by unseen powers – as the Bible says, “we wrestle not against flesh and blood…” – so this unseen power is like a plague that possesses humanity, and its name is quite simply… the ego.
We dont even know we are possessed by it, as we identify with it. And isnt that what possession is? After all, once a person realizes they are possessed… they are not really possessed any longer are they? [they have a choice than to choose...]
Reminds me of how there are certain parts of our body in the digestive system, I believe, which is not native, but necessary for our function… much like we are part of a greater whole and necessary for its operation. If we were a giant and we were to view the galaxies as a whole… perhaps we would see a moving body who was asking the question of “who am I” – while all the multitudes of ‘cells’/life help to make this entity function. [much like those russian dolls, you open one up, another is inside.]
The above analogy is probably the closest to the ‘truth’ there is, and though the form may vary a bit, the analysis is perhaps dead on. When we realize this, we see the fluidity in the nature of who we are, and that the struggles of life are not that big, and the reality of the verse, in that song we used to sing as a kid, becomes evident… “…life is but a dream” [How my Christian music teacher abhorred those lyrics when I was in the 3rd grade... she would have us hum when the time came to say 'dream' saying that its because the verse is not true... suppose her Buddhist background was haunting her... interesting how dogma can be separated from truth, all you have to see is the fruit... is it fear? If so, then its not truth.]
Final Analogy/Conclusion:
The best way to understand this analogy, of the waking dream, is through the studies of nature… the so called “magic mushroom”/psilocybin, plants with DMT, etc.
Ill throw in LSD as an example as well:
Also note the fact that we have DMT naturally occurring within our brains…which supposedly is released at birth and at death… is life “one big ‘trip’”?
Again, lets research that which is closest to us in order to understand that which outside us… when we “know who we are” everything else falls into place. [well it does anyway, as every snow flake falls where its supposed to, but now we become aware and conscious 'co-creators', as it were with God]
The above topic seems to be taboo, but many fail to realize that the likes of psilocybin are being synthesized in medical/science labs for treatment of patients with OCD. – Again, how can you charge for something that is freely given by God in nature? [so we see greed/ego at work for the need to control]
But as always, even ’satan’ works as Gods ‘civil servant’ as it were – both in Christianity and Judaism. Mass consciousness dictates what governing authority it needs… until we are conscious in our actions, we will always hand our wills to those who are there as a guardian to push us forward as it were… typically through suffering, though at our own hands, and ‘those that be’ limit the amount we inflict upon ourselves, etc – and the suffering stops when we realize we need not more suffering… games, etc., and we take our place as sons and daughters of God – and instead of fallible human/non-human hands we now participate as a whole, consciously in the “body of Christ”, as it were.
Intro: The Return
After a small hiatus in blogging, I suppose you could say that “Im back” – not that I have ever really left, as I have been ‘tweeting’ and ‘facebooking’, etc.
However the way in which I have approached blogging has changed considerably.
When I first started blogging I was really in the midst of one of the greatest internal transformations that I have ever underwent in my life.
At that time I was trying to find my bearings, re-evaluating where I stood in the milieu I once called home, but had such a radical shift in view was not sure if I were still part of that particular milieu or not.
Turns out, that I have not only remained a part of that milieu, but if such a category exist, then I went into the waters, was baptized, and came out born again on the other side to see clearly that which I could never see before.
In doing so I no longer had one milieu of which to identify with, but my milieu became that of the living body of God/Creation… all the fine lines that divide were shown for the illusions that they were and the only thing left standing was the truth… the truth that we are all part of the infinite, whose spark resides in each of us… after all, how can the creation exist outside of its creator, as it is written, “In Him we live and move and have our being”
Terminologies:
What I soon learned, is that not unlike Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, etc., I had become adept in speaking a certain lingo of a certain cultural milieu [Christianity], instead of changing the language in which I now expressed my views, I found it was even easier to use the terms I already had become accustomed too as the meaning behind them, the light, actually shown through.
Again, the issue is that when we speak, we are understood through the filters of whoever is perceiving/listening to what is being said… who knows how another interprets what is being said. It can only be hoped that in the new found knowledge that one can than try to bridge the gap of the ‘known’ and the ‘unknown’. The known is that which is typically the falsely held beliefs from the ego state… in the end, all that can be done is for the words to act as a pointer on a sign showing the way through the door, and its up to the traveller if they will journey through.
“Every snow flake falls where it should”, everything happens according to a plan, each of our actions fits into the whole – regardless of the level of our understanding, and indeed in disregard to it, as “His ways are definitely not our ways”… the more you learn the more you realize you must yield and act as the receiver. This may sound weak, but indeed its then when you are strong, as the strength of the universe is there to live its life through you, the humble vessel made of clay and water…of which will return to earth.
Be all to all that you may win a few
Maybe this is doable, maybe not… definitely you would have to make multiple accounts to speak within the many faceted egoic realms in order to potentially have an ear lent to you for a listen… and even then if the soul is not their, ready to receive, then storms of hail can come and nothing will penetrate the hardened heart… until God releases that person as the timing is right within their life to advance to the next level. [again using words is limiting and implies some hierarchy, which is not totally true...as the lowest is the highest indeed, and the highest is the lowest, but all depends on the other.]
With my blog, I cannot try to write to the ‘heathen’, the ‘Christian’ the ‘Jew’…while I know if the guard is down and love is there, then people would be receptive to that one truth… the truth which brought us all into being – and I mean the essences of our make up, not just creation in and of itself… for do not be upset if you were just a garden experiment of a lower form than that which you initially thought. [this is in theory, dont get tangled on the words...]
In truth, the need arose for a voice to be authentic in where it is at. As Paul put it, there is no Jew, no Greek, etc… no more divisions that separate one from the other… so what I say, though heavily cloaked in the terms that a Christian would better feel at home at, if the heart is open then a Jew, and a ‘heathen’ will see that the words are garments to what they know to be true within them.
Nothing to sell
Nothing to sell, nothing to change, nothing to be…
Nothing to prove, etc. I stand where I stand. I do not use a label for myself… was Jesus a Jew, a Christian? Heck, he didnt even think “equality with God was something to be grasped” and never really answered when they asked who he was. They missed the point indeed, as we have…
Much to say, but all of it has already been revealed, I just repeat what has been repeated since the foundations of the earth which reverberate with every beat of the earths heart.
Conclusion:
Yes, this will be random thoughts, as usual, that hasnt changed…
And really the writing style will be much the same, but the angle will be slightly modified. You get what you get. Hey I read Thomas Merton, but at the same time can get something out of Aliester Crowely. Ironically Merton was on the same path, and he was one of the catalyst in my freedom from the chains of dogma…
Life is to short to be worried about trival things… or anything at all.
We have our place, find out what that is… make your place, even if its a ‘desert father’, and be content… contentment is why we are here, not to struggle. We struggle till we realize we dont have to struggle.
My last message gave a mini biography of those people who I have found beneficial to read and learn from on my path… but I promise you this, our paths our different, and you may never get what I did from the same places… whatever you do, do it with full heart and gladness.
Intro:
I started this blog awhile back with a few objectives in mind, and I feel that I have accomplished what I set out to do. I have learned quite a bit from the site stats of who comes here to read, as well as the comments that were left, to what was viewed.
Reflection:
Part of this journey was that of self-exploration during a time of one of the biggest ’spiritual’ transitions of my life…one that left a true, lasting, positive effect on me. While this journey started in childhood, it did not begin to kick off and bear fruit until the age of 22. My wife has been both a partner and a catalyst in many regards to where I now find myself…to whom I am forever grateful.
Communication:
Another part of my objective here at WordPress was to learn how to communicate effectively my ideas across a range of cultural/religious milieus…what I have seen and learned in this regard is most telling to be sure. Suffice it to say, watch Oprahs interviews with Eckhart and listen to a man who is a master of this – yet hear how misunderstood he is by those who ask questions. [yet he remains patient in all of this.] Great lessons to be learned in this, but its something you will have to find yourself…the journey is yours – its unique, so enjoy!
Nothing left to say
I spent most of my time blogging in one set time frame, and from there it dropped off.
The fact is I have nothing more to say than what has been said here already. Pointers hitting left and right, and for the creative mind it can help launch them into even deeper speculation. Much of what I say has a lot more weight than words can say upfront, again I leave it for you to do as you wish and see how it fits within your own perspective…what I say and what you interpret it to mean may be two different things. [does this mean we do not agree, alas sometimes both messages can be true...after all there is an absolute truth, and from that its a matter of vantage point and a play in the world of duality and form.]
My blogs were never edited, per say, for the sake of clairty – which even the above will show…but this to has its purpose, even if it is to help people to stretch their minds as to think for itself vs. always being spoon fed answers that then are automatically conformed to their conditioned perspective on life.
dAlen Book:
With nothing left to say, I suppose I have enough material for a book. Of course the dilemma is two fold… primarily the tedious job of editing it. If I send it out, I would be weary of how well it keeps the original spontaneity as well as heart of the message. If I do it myself, then we can wait a few life times I suppose. [not that anyone is missing anything of importance, as everything I say you either know, or will know if you do the least bit of searching for yourself as to the meaning of life and how it works.]
The other factor is the audience, this blog can be formated in various ways and it occurs to me the best way is to make two different style books from it, which would well fit different venues. [and you just read of my dread above to even editing it once. lol]
Either way, book or no book is not the point…if it is to be done, it will be in its own timing when such inspiration hits – and the time is right. [suppose all books start of like this... a pile of papers you go through, no one who sits down and writes from the beginning ever finishes...you have to write from the heart, as it comes, to keep what life there is in there and then it all comes together at the end.]
Conclusion:
If you have enjoyed this blog, I do encourage you to pass on the link to others, let them have a look at it. I have enjoyed every minute that I spent blogging, I suppose overall it was an outlet for my own soul. An online journal of sorts…albeit with a twist in the language to be mindful of how people interpreted what I said as each person uniquely understands what it is set before them.
With this, i say goodbye to you all.
The blog may or may not receive updates, but it will be in a different nature than before – and perhaps under a new name as I try to relaunch my wife and my site in the future. A lot of this may be incorporated there, and anything posted here will not be as much on a personal nature/spiritual, but along the lines of some of my interest as it regards future technology and humanity.
Peace

p.s.
A list of people who either have greatly influenced me, and/or I feel they have had something to contribute to the world which I believe would help others if they caught on to some of the ideas.
- my wife
[for me personally]
- Eckhart Tolles audio books
[you want to be transformed by the renewing of your mind, then a quick pick me up from a self help book aint gonna change anything...you have to rewire those negative thought patterns, etc. - for me it was listening to his audio books for some years actually. This helped to set the focus and keep the focus in the day when we 'forget the self help bit' and our actions show we have forgotten it. To this day I still hear his message at different levels as certain levels crystalize with me. [of note, this was the pointer that worked for me, for others it may be something else.]
- Jesus/Paul
[some may be offended I put this second to Eckhart, but truth is had I never ran into Eckhart I would not have finally had the "ah ha" moment to see past the dogma that had been forced upon me by the church while growing up. Now things Jesus and Paul and the OT says makes crystalline & most of all practical sense.]
- Krishnamurti
[listen to Eckhart, same thing. Though its interesting to know there are more than 1 or two people that get this.]
- Rabbi Tzadok from Kosher Torah
[he greatly helped me to get a better understanding of Jewish beliefs which helped my understanding of Christianity as a whole. No...not what he says about Christianity, he is very biased there...and even his message seems to be obscure, if not contradictory at times...reasons for this I wont go in here, none-the-less his material on Jewish mysticism & torah were a great help.
And while I realize many people have an issue with mysticism, what can I say...go read some of my old blogs about what i have to say concerning this...at least they are trying to experience God...as well as many people are living in a mythos of what they think mysticism is - thats a point again where it shows perspective rules at the end...its all how you take it, so mileage may very.]
- Pastor Bob Beeman [I have a great appreciation for my friend who keeps it real in his own search and is authentic in what he believes.]
Thomas Merton & Heneri Nouwen [Again this is within the framework of "Christian lingo" - but these guys were about experiencing God... and were a great pointer to launch me further along my path - out of my fear and into further "searching with ALL my heart" - With Merton I recommend his book "New Seeds of Contemplation, and I can thank a friend who is 'eastern orthodox' for the pointer of Henri Nowen as well as for a small excerpt on what 'hell' is in a document called the River of fire which I have blogged about here.]
Rebbe Yakov Leib HaKohain
[Dude you rock, but you will be greatly misunderstood...and I know you don't give a "sh-t"! lol
- and you wont mind be uncensored saying so as you try to blow up the boundaries made by religious dogma.]
Carl Jung
[mostly am familiar with his works through Rebbe HaKohain & Rabbi Tzadok.]
Kabbalah Center [While I may not see eye to eye with some of the pointers used, I appreciate the effort they have put to erase the lines of dogma in the sand between religions/races, and other conceptual and egoic barriers. - This is really what is more important, more so than trying to find the differences...
Also, I thank them for the scholarship I received from them where I received over what I believe was $400 worth of material, and the shipping was about the same due to the weight of the Zohar volumes.]
Neturei Karta
[Jews for Palestinians - sounds like going past the ego to me. - This link takes you to the site, but actually steps back in time and has 10 questions asked by Rabbi Michael Dov Weissmandl... interesting read - open your minds.]
- Michio Kaku
[thanks to seeing that there is a scientist who can communicate great concepts to the masses who would not otherwise get it. Also the fact that he wasnt like Dr. Teller fascinated with 'who gets the bomb first' mentality. As M. Kaku puts it, we have a 50/50 chance of getting to a level 1 society, level 0 being the most dangerous. [with all of our self judgement and judgement to others, he has a point...]
- Ray Kurzweil
[Transhumanist, I use the label loosely like a piece of garment as a pointer, anyway - I like what Im seeing from his vision of the future...mind you, if we dont address the root issue of humanity, the ego, we will blow ourselves up with technology and go extinct.]
- Richard Alpert
[Professor & LSD man, no I have not taken LSD. The guy here has some great insight that we should all ponder... We need to rethink as well the roles societies place on people as well as what law means. [laws are put in place to protect us from ourselves, and are a reflection of where we are at as a society. My view on drugs is somewhat complex at this point...and would take a book of its own to even address - but Im sure it would be similar to Richard Alpert and...]
- Terence Mckenna
[who in the world can say nature is illegal? You have an illegal substance naturally occurring in your body...DMT. Guess that makes us illegal. The funny thing is, governments do treat us that way, as if we are illegal. - but the government is not the issue, they only mirror our unconsciousness. - As old solomon said, there is a time and place for everything under heaven.]
- Zeitgeist movement
[i like the concept, but already it has the issues that Jesus' follower had...misunderstanding the point. The agnostics of the movement have to give space to everyone to be as they are and believe as they wish. As long as it does not cross my path, its of no concern to me. [fear dictates otherwise, but we see, fear puts guns in young mens hands to go kill each other off...while the leaders stay safe in a bunker somewhere under the ground.]
Last but not least, just check out my blogroll here for more cool links.
Who am ‘I’?
[read my about page for that]
So, who and what am I? For those who use labels to identify themselves with, I will be the outcast.
I can wear the Christian garb, for at the heart I would say most Christians are not the heart of what being a Christian is…they see, but do not see, hear but do not hear, as Jesus put it. [offended? why is that? is it the “little me” your ego? Truth needs no defense.
I could say transhumanist… but again, all these are just words and do not define who I am.
I tell you who I am, and Ill credit the greatest thinker of all – God.
“I am that I am.”
