SHACK 4166 MAYA-----ILLUSION-------DREAM

Courtesy   Pothi Store

I have written a lot about illusion; the empty atom. inculcation, nowhere to hang my hat, my NDE, The Koan. All steps to get me to nowhere and of course dear old Albert Einstein 'reality is an an illusion albeit a persistent one'.

However the mind which I name the ego, I feel the mind is created by  its content, which are stored graphics or life experiences and mainly thoughts in animation. When the the thoughts naturally subside as in meditation there is no mind, just the witnessing awareness witnessing itself, awareness observing itself. When this is experienced all thought, memories are gone and even when coming back to thinking and every day life so to speak, like a dream it goes and there is no past, now, past or future as it were, they seem to have no substance and therefore the dream and illusion seem be to the quality of this substance.

Yet something in these experiences wants, desires to cling onto the dream and make it a reality, solid, a base a solid footing and foundation. This maybe is the challenge of Spirit calling one home and the human material world seducing the soul to abandum the Heavenly home coming. Never the less there is this tug of war  and perhaps this is the battle between Spirit and materialism. Yet my mind, the ego, cannot let go of the phantom that speaks to it and haunts and taunts that this Earthly existence is an illusion and yet a so persistent one.

SHACK 161 EXPERIENCES

Once again I am drawn to the brain as a laser projector and this morning of the 13th October 2025 I experienced that my eyes through my third eye was projecting what I perceived was a hologram, it was so real that I felt that the garden I viewed was like the image in above, of course as a garden not an astronaut. 

In a previous SHACK I experienced the opposite that the Garden was a hologram created by the Universe and that the colours and depth and so on  were interpreted by the brain through the usual eye receptor and so on. Really endeavouring trying to fathom this all out is the ego curiosity and that I probably should let it just be and let it be and just be joyful and grateful for the beauty in the experience.

This is the the old trick of delusion of the being in control and wanting to pick into the technology and 'know that I know' to feel secure and be in control and adjust if I feel unsafe. I feel the outdated pattern of separateness and departmentation which is in a way not a true Hologramic representation of being whole and not fragmented, of course when viewing the hologram one does notice individual characteristics that is of course the activity and designation of the human brain, I feel these strange and unusual experiences are a learning process and can demonstrate how the so called 'out of the norm'  is if there such a thing as the norm and if it is questioned what are or is the value in this?

Many of us still stick to the norm and by that our everyday comfortable routines and those we had inculcated in us before choice such as childhood, cultural, social, religious and political as distinct from our driving or transport to work, our work stuff and then perhaps our hobbies and sport with entertainment. These like our beliefs become our routines and our foundations and to some extent our reality and a sort of general consensus which flows through the collective unconscious and is based on general humanitarian rules, laws and concepts, this maybe the so called norm?

Many of us may find something that takes us out of  our comfort zone hard to accept, even consider and maybe a shock and if severe cause trauma and even mental instability. Some who are so stuck in their or group reality based on beliefs and custom will not even look or view at all and literally blind not so much of the eyes or fear to here that for them the unknown out of the comfort zone can be a threat or imminent danger and life threatening. 

Perhaps having the experiences as described above are to teach me  to view the unexpected unusual out of the blue so to speak and just take them in and know that my education and understanding may not encompass the answer and this would and could lead me into trying to understand beyond my knowledge and maybe not important as such and to teach me not to be so intellectual and academic which is OK to a degree and however leave my 'spiritual' acumen lapsing and getting into technology and losing the intuitive without brain storming for an answer and maybe there is no answer and just let it be is to trust that instinctive intuitive spontaneous 'no mind' and just let it BE.

SHACK 4164 ROUTINE

 Sometimes we can get into a habit that becomes routine and we might feel let down by ourselves if we cannot fulfil the daily routine and stress if we are behind schedule and like the image above have a mind to catch up or go faster and life can be a treadmill like  the Hamster in the treadmill in the cage. Like if we miss a prayer will we punished for forgetting and also just mindlessly babbling off the prayer as an automatic habit as insurance against misfortune.

Then again if we look at reality which we went into in past articles, there is no thing as reality in a way, they maybe just mind programmes which by rote and by incessant intent we may then brain wash ourselves as this is a dominant habit that this is reality. So maybe breaks in the routine which also become a habit. In this difficult path to freedom, because our daily routines may become boring and stale is it possible to be free of routine and yet be in a natural routine? Our bodies need feeding and they are in routine however they are in sync with nature which one might say is cyclic and routine and yet this is done without effort on our will in a way. Our hair grows, our finger and toe nails grow, mostly our cuts and wounds heal seemingly in silence and without our interference, perhaps with an adhesive plaster or soothing ointment.    

Many people have shared with me that they feel breathing and heartbeat and pulse are seemingly automatic, I have the experiences of 'being breathed' as if my breath and pulse are being 'pumped into me' as is I were a pipe an something was doing it to and for me, true I can regulate the breath and heartbeat by intent but not the intake and outbreath, try holding your breath, something then kicks in and you breathe. Life is the giver of breath and pulse. A monk in his/her hut on a mountain side gathers in wood for winter, the leaves fall, the birds go away, Spring and the buds begin to bloom, the birds return and the nun and monk come to the door and say 'all this and I didn't do a thing to make it happen'. The seasons are there for us, the Moon and Sun go about their daily routines so to speak, are they conscious of their cycles, is Mother Earth and her companions the beings of nature are they aware of their cycles and do they not quietly go about their cycles. So can we do our daily chores with an eye on the fact we are living and breathing with Life and the Universe and trust the silent process within us and do our routines with less stress even if we miss a session or two and realise Life wants to Live and express Itself whether we participate or not.

Trust in Life and Live Life as Life would have it, the mysterious ways of Life and it is the mystery that beckons us on, otherwise we lead a life of stress and despair.

SHACK 4159 AMBIGUITY

I feel that the embryo and foetus can 'feel' the sensations as vibrations from mother and even from outside the uterus re mothers feelings and the embryos sensitive reception nodes. Because of the inherent DNA of humanities Cosmic programming it maybe that the embryonic entity feels a sort  of unease and as the brain has not developed sufficiently it may feel and remain a anathema and has no explanation just a feeling which is passed onto the growing nervous and cellular system.

When the baby emerges it still carries these uneasy feelings with it and may explain why some babies are so difficult with feeding, potty training and sleep issues. When the baby  grows older and still has these feelings and may have an unhappy childhood and there is still no explanation as to these 'negative' underlying spontaneous feelings that feel so visceral and because they are visceral they remain there and unexplained and then taken as a natural series of sequential arousals and taken as a reality. 

This may cause trauma and be at odds with society that one finds oneself in. These feelings become so ingrained and habitual that they could cause some mental and psychological problems. Sometimes and more often these feelings amalgamate and cause an entity named ego and the ego which has been born to the child by now comes to want to keep this known programming and not realising it is programming

and because it is visceral it difficult to put an explanation to it because it was a imprinting in the womb to the DNA and the nervous system. Many fantasies carry the deep yearnings of the ego to find out 'who or what am I' in relation to the traumas of the intuitive ego realising these deep under the radar feelings have no logic or psychological understanding, they were downloaded before logic, choice and understanding were apparent and before the brain could understand and a sense of awareness of self became evident and to appear.

Even the the awareness of self can be mistaken as awareness of the ego self and so a schism can become to the fore and classic battle or challenge between ego self that is visceral and defies logic which the ego vainly tries to get a 'handle' on and the ego programming brought about by inculcation and brain washing and if one has had a taste of 'spiritual self awareness which is the natural awareness of stillness, no thought, not by suppression or technique perhaps in meditation and and then just spontaneous 'no mind' then this can add a third quandary.   

The womb visceral imprinting can even enlighten the ego as a separate entity challenging the ego programmes through inculcation and causing it to habitual interfere with 'the quiet natural mind' so to speak and if it gets so strong it can take over the ego programmes blot out self awareness and one lives a world of unpleasant unexplained feeling haunting fantasies which can be a coping mechanism in an attempt to justify, explain or give an explanation and this visceral it may never leave the person in this dilemma. 

It may appear because one has sufficient awareness of the Self that one realises ego programmes of the day to day and cultural, social, religious and political world of ones inculcation and the haunting need to understand the deep need to understand that there is no explanation and it was passed onto a nervous system and embryo and it is not of oneself at all, like when one finds out that through inculcation we have an identity passed onto us and we are cloned minds and waking up to that we have no real identity and face up to the fact we have the identity of no identity and when one can live with that it begins to have the effect that the visceral and ego feelings, sensations and puzzles begin to subside because the awareness of Self and the quiet mind of peace and feeling of compassion begin to compensate for trauma and logical explanations. This peace is all that is required and one can feel that is all that we need and it is Life's energy flowing through us and trusting in Life is sufficient.
