Wake Up

No one outside of you can tell you what is true or how to live your life.

No one knows exactly what this reality is or what the purpose of life is.

No one has the Final Answers.

Many people you encounter will pretend to Know.

They will try to convince you to believe them.

They will urge you to blindly follow them.

But if you do this, your own intelligence will die.

This post is less than 800 words, but it's one of the things I'm most proud to have copyed.

It contains hard-won wisdom that, for a long time, my conscious mind didn't want to accept.

I hope it stirs a certain Divine Something deep within you. 

“The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth…”

— Jiddu Krishnamurti, Total Freedom

True authority comes from within. Activate yourself.

No one outside of you can tell you what is true or how to live your life.

No one knows exactly what this reality is or what the purpose of life is.

No one has the Final Answers.

Many people you encounter will pretend to Know.

They will try to convince you to believe them.

They will urge you to blindly follow them.

But if you do this, your own intelligence will die.

No external authority can show you what is true.

“The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth,” as Krishnamurti put it.

At best, great teachers can simply point toward the Path.

They can help you cut through the barriers blocking you from your own innate wisdom.

They can give you useful maps, but the map is never the territory. 

Your truth is something you must discover for yourself.

Through your own experience, through deep listening to yourself, your unique Way and Flow will emerge.

Find your own enlightenment.

Do not become dogmatic about anything.

Do not assume you have found the Final Answers.

Always retain a Beginner’s Mind that can reshape itself as new discoveries emerge.

Investigate what is true for yourself, by looking inside yourself.

When you come upon new ideas, use discernment to discover what resonates and what is useful to you.

Discard whatever does not resonate and what is not useful.

Mine deep beneath the layers of ego, persona, trauma, conditioning, and indoctrination, to what lies beneath.

Beneath all these there is an immeasurable Intelligence.

This Intelligence is much older and more powerful than the conscious, rational mind.

The conscious mind is necessary to survive in this world, but it is just one tool with a fairly narrow purpose.

There are many problems and questions—the Biggest Questions of existence—that the conscious mind is not equipped to address.

When you use conscious thought to address matters outside its domain, the mind simply runs in circles and ties itself in knots.

In the modern world we have become obsessed with the life of the mind.

We worship rational thought as the ultimate expression of human value and intelligence.

In this way we have become severely misguided.

The conscious mind lives in a world of maps, symbols, and abstractions, cut off from direct experience of Reality itself.

The concept of “tree” prevents you from directly experiencing the bark-clad earth-claw bursting from the soil.

The most valuable forms of wisdom and understanding emerge from direct experience of Reality.

This is why your own experience is Key.

Many will urge you to discount your direct firsthand experience.

They will tell you they already found the answers.

They will tell you the answers are in the back of the textbook, and all you must do is memorize and regurgitate them.

This is an insult to your living intelligence as a human being.

You possess immense capacities for discernment, understanding, and creativity.

You have the ability to see the world in a way no one has seen it before.

You have the ability to notice things no one has noticed before.

The Great Questions have not been answered—not even close.

The Mystery is vast as ever—it is Infinite.

Activate yourself as a wisdom-seeker.

Activate yourself as a student of your own experience.

Observe your world closely.

Become aware of the phenomena flowing in and out of your field of awareness.

Pay close attention, realizing attention is your most precious resource.

The world is overflowing with countless distractions.

The Things Worth Paying Attention To are a tiny subset of the possible things you might spend time on.

Realize this, and rigorously sharpen the katana of your attention.

Slice away the bullshit, pay attention to what truly matters:

Your life. Your relationships. Your experience. Your dreams. Your highs. Your lows. Your habits. Nature. Visionary teachers and artists. Sharing your gifts. Whatever calls out to your Soul.

Discard whatever does not ignite your curiosity and excitement.

Discard whatever does not speak to your Soul.

In this way you will become your own authority.

In this way you will become unstoppable.

To invoke Joseph Campbell, “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”

Leave no stone unturned.

Look in the shadows.

Look where other people are afraid to look.

In this way you will find rare treasures.

And become your own master.

Activate yourself.

Feel the life and intelligence coursing through you.

You are an immeasurably powerful being.

You are worthy.

You are Divine.

Listen deeply.

The answers you seek are within you, waiting for you to uncover them.

“How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! 

The world forgetting, by the world forgot. 

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! 

Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd?”                        

                                  by Alexander Pope

"In narrowing your focus, in living your values, 

 you have now found true freedom. 

The freedom to live your authentic expression. 

 You have found the joy of missing out."

“An Easy Life.”

“Even when it is true that those who have an experienced Thought Adjuster – as do most of the inhabitants of this world – do not have a guarantee of an easy life, it would be incorrect to assume that Thought Adjusters create problems for human beings. The problems arise when the mortal, who decides to listen to the inner voice, finds himself or herself in opposition with the materialistic tendencies considered to be normal in this world.

“An easy life is not synonymous with a lack of spiritual progress, and a hard life is no guarantee of spiritual advancement. Many of those who consider their life to be easy think this way because they have mastered a technique to feel at peace regardless of the circumstances, thanks to progressive communication with the Thought Adjuster.

“The Thought Adjuster does not create difficulties to train human beings. The difficulties occur when one tries to harmonize the two divergent natures of mortal life -- material and spiritual. You already know that many material problems could easily be solved by changing selfish human behaviors. It would be easier to steal food from a weaker person than to work for it. Many times, when those mortals illuminated by the light of their spirit find themselves in a situation where the obvious and easy solution would bring them further away from their eternal goals, they wisely choose to follow the advise of their Thought Adjuster, and by doing so they suffer physically.

“Our Father only wants happiness for us. Many a time your materialistic impulses and the external influences make you desire things you don't really need. You feel you are lacking something when in truth you have all you need to live a fulfilling life. As you keep getting closer to your Divine Spark, you start to discover the great treasures hidden within you, and your life becomes wonderful in the revelation of all those miracles that were not noticed before.

“Do not fall into the trap of desiring problems and difficulties. The wise students only take a test when they are ready. The opportunities for growth are abundant and nothing you need to strengthen your soul will be denied. A great deed of one day is irrelevant compared to the discipline of a lifetime of making decisions based upon spiritual impulses.”

Having Fun

“Today’s message is about having fun. Sometimes we take ourselves too seriously, or we get caught up in the drama of life -- earning a living, paying bills, taking care of others, worrying about the unknowns of the future, or taking on the concerns of the world as we are bombarded with information overload. We need to stop and close that door of wants and needs for a moment and just laugh and have fun, for it is as they say, ‘Good for the soul.’

“Relaxation and recreation is a necessary component of perfection attainment. Sounds strange, does it not? We often think that soul perfection means to stay in our darkened room and meditate, or serve in some ministry that helps our fellows -- and these are good and necessary things that are a part of this learning experience -- but to round out your experience and to add that friendly glow to your already beaming soul, you must learn to laugh and have fun.

“Much of what you do in eternity will involve reversion, for there are so many astonishing things and places to go and see and experience, that you will never find yourself bored or disinterested. Eternal life in God’s playground of the universes is an unending joy when you balance service and reversion on your way to perfection. In your journeys on other worlds, you will find that the most advanced personalities there have a most wonderful sense of humor and they are a delight to be around.

“Have you ever noticed how often children laugh and play? They, for the most part, live in the moment and are not concerned about all the seriousness and problems of the world. They are enjoying life, because they feel safe and secure under the watch-care of their parents. All their needs are taken care of, and so nothing enters into their consciousness but what comes natural to them. They want to explore, enjoy friends, laugh, and use their imagination (exercise their creativity). You must learn to feel safe and secure in your heavenly Father and have faith that all your needs will be taken care of.

“Is it any wonder the Master said that to enter into the kingdom of heaven, you must become as a little child? Ah-ha! You see how much sense this makes? Think about what friends you have that you feel most fond of. Do you laugh and forget yourself when in their company? Yes, it is a reflection of the Creator to laugh and be joyful, so why don’t you lighten up! Renew your spirit, renew your outlook on life -- laugh, relax, and find joy in all that you do. It will make your short stay here much more profitable and joyful. The problems of the world will still be here to solve, but why not tackle these problems with a joyful heart? Love and laughter are the medicine of the body, mind, and spirit. See that you take your medicine today -- it tastes delightful!

“Good day

“Life’s Lessons:Patterns, Prompts, and Love.”

“Firstly, let me clear the air by saying there is no animosity between us, as long as you take care of your physical needs. The rest of your requirements will mostly be seen to by us. See his repetitive task of mankind to a higher level of spirituality.

“Much of what makes up a prompt is typical to what the machine that is your brain will do for you, and we share this phenomenon with you, for in our make-up we are not so far removed from you. By your nature, you subconsciously notice a given event almost always before conscious recognition of that event.

“You may drive for many miles through a naturally wooded area to suddenly come upon a plantation, and immediately you perceive the way these trees are planted in a pattern. At a subconscious level, still, those cerebral neurons charged with the task of recognizing the vertical lines of the, say pine tree trunks, will begin to fire in a frenzy, for there are countless pines, and almost immediately will you consider that the forest landscape has given way to a man-made project.

“This is pattern recognition at a subliminal level at first, followed almost immediately by the conscious realization of pattern, precision, regularity, uniformity -- after you have traveled for miles through the scarcely noticed irregularity of naturally sprouted shrubbery and trees of all kinds – it may become your point of reference to how far you still need to travel on a future journey, the miles to a turn off, the duration of the remainder of the trip.

“Until you realize these patterns are so frequent in their appearance, you can no longer ‘chalk off’ these happenings to coincidence, if you truly believed in such a thing in the first place. You must now search.

“Think of man and his wife who are happily married; in love for all to see, and how they can share a thought, an idea, give a coinciding smile to each other. Now translate this.

So, you should pay attention to these regular ‘road signs’ and make sure that you follow the advice they convey, for you to safely direct your life to the goal of the ages -- your eventual perfection.

Can you see how powerful and important these turning-point experiences are to your personal evolution?

“However, to make the most of these lessons in your lives you must be aware of their importance as turning-point experiences. In other words, you cannot forget them. These experiences are not routine occurrences. They are paramount experiences, designed to influence you for long periods of time. They will be recalled many times -- even beyond physical death --

Life-changing experiences are powerful events that change your life in profound ways. Sometimes they are dramatic situations in which you find yourself having to make moral decisions of great import. At other times they may be the result of a slow realization of certain values that need to be adopted. When such realizations are finally understood and accepted, new patterns start to become a part of your decisions, ‘swinging your whole life into’ an entirely new direction.

“Our Needs.”

“Human life is a constant struggle between material and spiritual impulses. However, these two kinds of impulses don't need to be at odds with each other. The problem is that mortals in this world have created a lot of false needs that distract them. The basic needs of the human being – without which a normal live could not be possible – can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
The problem is that many people in this world can't even satisfy their most basic needs. While a few have more than what they really need, hundreds die every day due to their inability to satisfy basic needs. Yet the real price of these unsatisfied needs is that so many people never even consider the spiritual side of life because the physical suffering caused by their unmet needs prevents them from thinking about anything else. How could a child think about spiritual progress when he or she is afraid for his or her life? How could a mother search for spiritual peace while watching her children die of hunger? It is like not really living.
Those who take more than what they need and use their resources to control others are creating a heavy load for themselves.
You might be one of the few fortunate ones that have more than what you need. Don't forget about your siblings who suffer. There is a lot you can do to improve the life of those around you, starting with finding within yourself desires to shine to others through you.

“Ultimately Equitable and Fair (Destiny)"

So many of you can think of a period in your lives when it seemed that life itself dealt you a harsh blow, a time of anger or despair, a time of poverty or mistreatment. We do not wish to deal with such events directly, but instead we wish to present the circumstances we find in.
With your innate drive toward doing what is right, your thoughts and wishes have an effect in guiding you onto your slow, long road to perfection.
“Perhaps earlier, perhaps later, you will arrive at a point where your combined efforts will guarantee that when the time comes for you to leave this world, we will be granted the honor of ascending with you. However, should your progress be deemed to be inadequate, you must remain earthbound, and repeat the effort with another human being for the length of his or her life. One might say that human behavior, so impacting on our immediate destiny, would be considered to be unfair. Not so.
Surprisingly, the human ascending is not some extent the loser. Forced to remain earthbound for human life, term are neither winners nor losers, because you are here for is to accumulate time-space experience. Later, after extended stay and further hard work on an evolutionary planet,you will be the most advanced, most brilliant, and most respected among your kin.

“Let us have a break here, and let us come back in a while to consider the human aspect of what may seem unreasonable and unfair.”

Understand this well, all human life is of great value, and the immature soul of the child that passed away so shortly after birth is very well being cared for. Both parents, after their ascension, will complete the task of bringing up and educating the loved one they lost. Due to the fact that the child has missed out on all earthly experience, its destination will be the local universe, not the long road to paradise.

The universe of universes does not shortchange a single one of its creatures. It is ultimately equitable and fair.
