10-22-22A Snippet …

One of the truly great and transforming changes an individual undergoes is developing from a bondage-type lifestyle … where much if not most of your habits and patterns are forced / pressed / demanded of you via cultures and family … to a sponge-like existence … where the individual begins to bargain-shop for their own ideas and patterns from whatever is about them via culture and family … to a much more “Sherlock” attitude … where the individual becomes *so* much more the personal and private detective … gathering evidence … many times dismissing the obvious … testing the approaches to see what works … and developing their working perspective … moving quietly from the community group-think … whether that “group think” be quite specific or general … to a much more individual perspective.

Without doing your individual detective work … all tend to float along on the traditional teachings which … are traditional for a reason. SO much of what is taught is done so to keep the masses … the general public … the moderately learned population under control so that they may live together in relative peace.

By the time one begins to move beyond this … their ethics / morals / values are such that most will continue to live quietly in pease but move beyond the social and traditional norms.

Become that detective. Eagerly and actively sleuth through what “everyone knows.” Do it quietly … mostly inwardly during the initial testing phases … and continue to “reach for the Heavens.”

10-23-22A …

One fascinating thing about consciousness is that no one can build a fence around their entire state of consciousness. One state of consciousness cannot be totally isolated from another. It is impossible to put a divider around the state of consciousness of Einstein … or Mother Teresa … or Ghandi … or Hitler … or anyone. Each state of consciousness is so designed by one’s attitude and focus … that it can change as quickly as one can change either. You might be able to totally understand the physics of Einstein mathematically … but it is impossible to understand his entire perception on Life and therefore enter into his avenues of his discoveries and continue his work at his level.

The tiny little differences that make up the individual state of consciousness is truly astounding … yet what a difference they make. The old saying of “God is in the details” is often very true indeed. To perceive beyond the norm demands that you view beyond the norm … learning to use the true spiritual tools verses the common psychic tools. Even though many struggle to develop the psychic tools … they pertain only to the Lower Psychic Worlds … and yes … they *do* work here.

Discerning the differences is a true lesson in Life.

It is a bewildering discovery in Life that you truly cannot *see* beyond your current state of consciousness. Your perceptions and beliefs strongly lock you into what you can and cannot “see” around you. As simple as it is to understand that a 3rd grader cannot “see” college physics … it is tough to expand that same principle to what we wish to discover in understanding greater Life.

Catching glimpses rarely come with fanfare. They are soft nudges and whisperings. We tend to overlook them. Our patterns drag us back to the old familiar ways. Obviously … we humans are creatures of habit. It is often surprising just how strongly and deeply this statement holds true.

Mind loves knowledge / data … to use for endless comparison and analysis.

Soul loves … Truth … which It cannot and will not discover until It can step beyond the Lower Psychic Worlds … at least on occasion … knowingly … accurately … distinctly.

Claims … does not make it so.

Many will claim that “greater Truth” does not exist.

In the latter steps … one discovers that it is *not* data / information / knowledge that lifts Soul Itself beyond the Lower Psychic Worlds … but it is spiritualizing the consciousness … accomplished through inner focused effort and discipline.

How fabulous it is to have eternity to figure all of this out.

Using mind to understand what is beyond mind … is impossible … although mind itself will always claim its own ability to do so … and mind will devise any belief whatsoever to claim success in understanding and capability far beyond its capacity.

One of the main reasons for this is … mind has no real conception of what truly *is* beyond the mental realms … so … it makes something up … makes a guess … and lives I that opinion.

Understanding what mind can and cannot do is an ongoing lesson for seemingly endless lifetimes. This is *not* a criticism of the mind … or mental realms. Mind is the bricks and mortar of all that is around us and we can accept it as a valuable and incredible tool.

To even consider truly going beyond mind is for the few … not the many.

10-25-22B …

Since the entire adventure is a progression … technically an unfolding … there are only a very few queries the you might be asking yourself …

1 … is it “working” for you? If even moderately so … enjoy it and ride it out.

2 … are you content? By this I do *not* mean … you have no questions … you have no issues … but you are not being severely hammered by them. Are your ponderings and issues of only moderate interest … and Life seems to be rolling by at an acceptable rate … if you will ?

The human state of consciousness seems to enjoy making heavy issues out of nothing … mountains out of molehills. If the issues are of importance … Life will make them more noticeable.

Many times … simply allow Life to work for and with you … and if IT is … you are fortunate indeed. Savor those times. There is a huge difference between having questions / ponderings … and being immersed in them. Keep it light. Be good to yourself. You’ll know when it is time to turn up the interest. Just try to not let anything become a do-or-die situation.

10-25-22C …

It is to your great advantage to remember … nothing in all of Existence can manifest, come about, or work … on its own. EVERY-thing has to go through the consciousness of Soul Itself … to become part of Creation. The only exception is the Core Creator God ITSELF … and I personally would not define the Core Creator God as a Soul.

My point being … what you are focused on … what you tell yourself … what you believe … what you express … to yourself and to other … gets you into … or out of … wherever you are at this moment. You are solely responsible for adding to or subtracting from … all of LIFE … by what you willfully put forth.

All of Creation is put forth through Soul … and YoU assist in that.

It is also to your great advantage … to not confuse stubbornness … for strength.

10-25-22E …

Many overlook the soft whisperings of Spirit … Divine Spirit or otherwise … waiting for the glossy spectacles of burning bushes, miraculous healings, or revelations that throw one into a swoon. Those … happen … but the predominant hints and nudges come very softly indeed … and we often dismiss them as “odd” thoughts.

If anything seems to be good for you … or better yet … good for someone else … or even better … good for the Whole of Creation … for LIFE IT-self … consider it.

10-26-22A …

For any truly motivated student approaching the far steps on the path … a most beneficial endeavor would be to sort through the “words” being used in today’s teachings and begin to refine them. SO many words have been generalized and / or twisted … and they do not mean what they “should” mean in greater Reality.

The first steps towards true wisdom is to call a thing what it is.

A prime example is the use of the word “spiritual” in today’s world. The physical / material world is clearly what it is … but the prevailing tendency is to apply the word “spiritual” to anything that is not physical. This is a trap … a useable trap … but still a trap.

The Lower Psychic Worlds are *psychic* worlds … and not truly “spiritual.” Soul Itself is encased in protective bodies or sheaths in the Lower Psychic Worlds and Its perception is clearly modified by these bodies.

The level of true spirituality begins at the 5th Plane … Sat Lok … the Atma Lok … there are a number of names for the same area … but it is here that Soul is unwrapped from the Lower Psychic Worlds bodies and begins to perceive and learn via Its own abilities. “Spirituality” has to do with Soul Itself, the Pure God Worlds, and the Core Creator God. Few know that there are vast levels or states of consciousness beyond the Lower Psychic Worlds that comprise the Pure God Worlds … free from the negative element that gives the Lower Psychic Worlds its duality or Law of Opposites.
