POST 474 YOUR CHOICE

Quickmeme

The mind is like the space in a room and the body / brain is akin to the walls.  When the master says show me your mind it is impossible for space is invisible and belongs to everything and is everywhere permeating through and is the creator of form and yet invisible in it.  So once realising that the mind is not tangible the student is enlightened intellectually until the student lives it so.

The furniture in the room is the content of the mind and is expedient, transitory and can be minimal, cluttered, expensive or cheap and made from many materials, they are all the choice of the conditioned and cultural mind.  The furniture can moved and changed it is a commodity, the space is space, taking the analogy that the space is awareness and consciousness then it cannot be changed, broken down or eliminated. Space is not to be taken as oxygen either. Space uses Oxygen as an agent for form to live in as Earth forms and so on.

Space is where everything exists with form or without form for space is the formless.  The furniture example also furnishes the ‘the thief in the night should the watchman (awareness) be centred on the furniture' which robs the form of its essence or rather the essence of it and so disappears when the furniture does or the form is extinguished.

The mind may seem to be contained in the brain or form, the space may seem to be confined in the room and the walls so solid, yet this containment is as far as the mind content will allow it to be so.

On death the walls collapse the awareness of the furniture maybe held in a different dimension depending on the beliefs and dimensions one may find oneself, however identifying with the space that is everywhere and so one joins the sea of eternity, one can experience and still live in a form only not be attached to the illusion of transitory forms.

This space is infinity and the room or forms are finite, awareness in death of the form allows one to be what one has always been an infinite space which is intelligent and all pervading.  One in form always has to be prepared on leaving it as such, it is not so much leaving, as space cannot leave, it is always a constant and just is, it is merely the form crumbles when its purpose has been fulfilled or needs another form to realise who it really is that is space contained briefly in the visible form, form gives space temporary visibility to those who experience its essence.

It is fact the fear of the loss of furniture and Earthly trappings that brings grief and sorrow, the acquisitiveness’s of Mammon and materialism that hold form back and the reluctance to let go.

Fear is the unconscious belief systems that auto pilot one and we do them automatically and using the room as an analogy we have the furniture in the room,the pictures and when we change the room about we go to the known before the change and the known becomes known again in a different update. In a fear thought it often arises ‘unconsciously’ that is with loss of awareness so to some extent we live out most of our lives unconsciously and we do not fully consciously experience life to the full because we use automated reactionary processes. When we witness the fear thought and ‘walk and face it full on’ we are conscious and aware of it and often the fear dissipates.  The real fear is ’we are not in control of our lives, we think we are and feel we are but these insidious subtle thoughts bubbling out of the unconscious seemingly nowhere mind that is the lair of the ego'and the programmed, conditioned, brain washed mind and the REAL fear is that we are controlled by a seemingly unknown source and that we are sidelined, when we awake to this, the tussle then ensues and the ego mind feels it is losing control and seeks at every instance to regain lost ground and starts a the tug of war.

The witness does not fight to regain its clarity, like the sky fighting the clouds or the Sun doing the same.  The clouds in this analogy are the thoughts that persist and seem to form and change their appearance by the process of their evolution as the ego does in modifying, reconfiguring, cosmetic appearances, a variation on theme and so on, the same old, same old camouflaged, sanitised and a make over, a cloud remains a cloud whatever form or shape it becomes.  In the analogy the sky is the canvas in which the clouds moves on and the sun is always shinning.

The witness which is consciousness and awareness is the silent invisible space mind constant and merely waits until the forms dwindle away when their energy lags and they whittle away and then the Source Witness is left alone with Itself and since space is infinite and eternal, all meaningless words to the Self because it just enjoys who it is before form came and went and so the moving cloud of finite mortal form plays the game with the infinite constant and yet dynamic Infinite.

What next you and I cry? Is there no let up? Oh come on now don’t be a spoil sport life would be something different or would it?

POST 473 THE POST

                     An old Zen saying 'tied to a post without a rope'.

So what is it that binds one to habit and old painful outworn ideas  and ways of life, dissatisfaction and grief or even pleasures when not available bring a sense of loss?

Where is the Post or the rope, they are merely ideas in the mind and where is the mind---the brain---cut out the brain------that's extreme.  Perhaps deaden the mind with drugs or other distractions.  Brain scans can only show bits of the brain at work, it  is not the mind. If you believe in the mind which is another invisible thing tied to an invisible post that the brain is you and NDE, life after death and psychic stuff are just ideas in a flesh brain made of atoms and cholesterol, hormones and blood then these pieces of flesh must be intelligent, then who programmed them?

When you were a baby before they got at you and you became full of ideas and lost your awareness and said these ideas are mine and not my awareness of them consciously so you lost your awareness and bottled it up in a self created mind called ego and gave that ego a name and identity and so became unconscious.  So you created a Post a so called solid in the mind ego named Shack, George, Angela, Geoff, Karen and millions of other names and the habit and familiarity became known and safe and this was the tether and rope.  

UH! to dismantle it? Maybe you are so entwined, solid and safe that you do not want to dismantle it, and who could blame you, it is a daunting and fearful task, for everything you have ever known is but a learnt, taught, tutored, programmed, brainwashed and conditioned fact, every experience is a past dream, stored in a memory box which is part of the brain or mind, which may not be in the brain, the brain being just a sophisticated TV, RADIO COMPUTER, and the invisible awareness uses it as such. The problem is we take the TV and so on as real.  We know everything in the Universe is made up of atoms which are 99.99% space, empty and everything is made up of vibrations and frequencies so we live in a empty Universe which is 99.99% empty and that emptiness is Intelligence the real Mind.

So how can one be tied to an invisible mind which is empty and a post which was created by an invisible mind and so the post  is invisible as well?

POST 472 PURIFICATION BY FIRE

mercer.me

There is a fire, a fire so hot and intense that it burns, scolds and softens even the most hardened of encrusted crud.  The crud I am referring too is the rust and decay of outworn belief and habitual debris that no longer serves the form it is deposited in.

Throughout the ages history of the Earth and its inhabitants are often locked into a set of systems and cycles and evolution. When evolution reaches its peak and when as nature cleanses house sometimes by fire, eruption and mayhem and havoc, the forms lesser in power and nature, mainly human forms cling vainly onto the raft of disappearing safety and the known which seems so solid.

This fire of purification burns steadily at first, in fact hardly perceptible and then as the crud begins to melt, burn up and run away through the pores of the skin, the bowels, the urine, the lymph or by any means even through mental abrasions, seeming wild behaviour, vile sexual black occult displays, wars and inhuman barbaric acts and it is hoped the cleansing and purging will be allowed to happen with as least hardness and violent reaction.

It seems at this present year of 2018 the psychotic, sociopath, psychopath and barbaric behaviour is evident and even logic and ‘in your face’ bear naked truth is seen in absolute unbelievable denial. The moral compass has been lost and the immoral one wears the crown and points the direction.

Those that take on the challenge of the fire, sometimes known as Kundulini, Chi, Ki, Life force and so on through their chosen path, their predilection, come to a point when their fire starts to be apparent as the space vacated and shed crud allows the flame to be felt / seen / acknowledged and the flame grows.

This flame cleanses and reconfigures as well and becomes a process, any resistance to the flame which is an intelligence in its own right brings suffering.  The occupying crud is the ego or little self and a fight to ease the fire and uncomfortable pain, the searing heat, the sweat and dizziness as it rearranges the brain patterns and neuronal pathways and burns the plaque of the build up through the ages. One can feel going mad as the old behavioural and set routines patterns begin to drop away, yet allowing them to be purged and there is seemingly nothing to replace them makes one feel naked, exposed and vulnerable.

Where is this saviour to be found? Even then the realisation comes there is no saviour outside oneself and yet the old ‘me’ became lost while becoming consumed by the intense purification, add to this the physical cleansing of diet, exercise, lack of interest in he ‘old ways’, sexual preference and other hedonistic pursuits drift away as the currents of the new cannot support the new ‘nothingness’ of seeming void and desolation.

Yet when the heat, the searing, searching desert ‘sun’ eases for a moment of respite, the flames just an ember awaiting their next surge and searching there is a quiet, a beauty, a silence and one rests by the quiet waters, the green beautiful glades and one realises this is the bounty.  One cannot abide in the reward of this space of tranquillity and so be it for a while because the intelligence of the fire has knowledge of the remaining debris. It also acknowledges that if the fire were not abated now and then it could destroy the form it is in. This would only be a last desperate attempt to save the form from the history of repeating itself or more repetitive cycles of cleansing in the most obdurate cases and causing never ending reincarnations, which to my mind are merely cyclic beliefs which hold in their tight grasp the form and the so called aims and material goals and are held so tightly that nearly all one’s energy goes to hold the clasp in solid concrete as it were.

Probably the most annoying, frustrating aspect of this is the mental, psychological and beliefs in the system.  So brain washed, conditioned, impacted and culturally religiously indoctrinated that it seems the only reality.  Madness, unreality, nowhere in the mind and what is mind seems to roar, headaches, nausea and a host of all other ‘devils’ seem to invade one. Distraction lures and seduces one in many guises.  Yet these wear thin and are like a bad taste in the mouth. There doesn't seem food that’s tasty, switching through endless TV channels, documentary and webinars on self growth, brain health promises, the lure of war films, spy films, the intrigue, sexual stuff in all its aspects dulling because at the most all of this above is not lasting, merely a brief interlude.

The search for new thrills, daring adventures seem to fall by the wayside and this is gradually consumed by the flame. Then one realises one is in the ‘living desert’, the barren hills, the dark night of the soul, the starkness that no-thing, nothing, even the promises of untold wealth, the most heavenly relationship, the most wonderful work and job, celebrity status and so much more can at one moment of deep awareness and realisation feel hollow and feeble. Then to live alone, a hermit in nature, off grid lures one, away from the madness of the world and of dysfunctional people and materialistic cruel materialism then to realise this is an escape from the naked truth of who one is and so called reality.

One can realise others are dysfunctional when one finds it in oneself.

Suicidal thoughts are not an answer or the act itself because one leaves unfinished business and nature always finishes its job. So in the end one is in a prison, more like a cul-de-sac, one cannot turn back down the cul-de sac because one returns to the same road, yet one is barred from going on.  What is the solution? There is no solution, it is acceptance and surrender to the fire, one has to find there is no logical solution, no saviour, no ‘Knight in Shinning White Armour’ only to rest and allow the flame to burn one out of the cul-de-sac and face with as joyful attitude of surrender and acknowledge that one’s own intellect, ego, knowledge and fortitude in them is outdated, outworn and does not serve one any more and so see the flame as burning and purifying the path out of ones former mind set and way of life.

Life through suffering and joy leads one onto the next step of evolution if one is wise enough not to resist it. By resisting it brings pressure and evolution is pushing one to move on, take the leap of faith that the Universe is an ever evolving process, a stream of consciousness working it out through its forms, one has to move on with the river or be drowned in the process and have to go back and renter the process, or just suffer innumerable ‘takes as on a film set’.

The pressure of the blocked energy of evolution causes the flame, the fire to build up and it starts to cause illness and disease.  It seems some causes of disease are rotting, festering beliefs, that are doggedly and vainly held onto. The body then becomes a repository, a dustbin for outmoded often acidic bitterness and so causes the form to turn putrid. One can be killed by ones long held grievances and wrong doing.  Wrong doing it being out of step with the ‘natural way of things’. By mind and body purification not so much by diet and exercise but perhaps by meditation, rumination, awareness and inquisitiveness then we may arrive at the awareness and realisation as to who we are and not just a wardrobe of belief systems taught to us when we were born.  We are not who we were taught to be. 

The return to who we really are is the process of the fire, and to the mind of the child added to which is the wisdom of a life lived so far.

SHACK 470 TONGLING

There is a Tibetan Technique named ‘Tongling’ in which one takes the negative energy into one and  a Lama I knew suggested it felt or smelt like burning rubber tyres and converting it to clean acceptable aroma.

This could be used in a relationship, negative feelings, and world situations and so on. When cleansed sending it back to the situation and seeing if it lightens. I used it in workshops using imagined daggers, spears horrible glances, curses aimed at one, feeling them and then converting them to an image of roses, flowers, love feeling and so on, do not deliberately think an image to return it, let it arise, let it be a feeling image, if none arises leave it and just bless the situation.

One should really feel this and not just thoughts. I would advise that one does this under supervision in order to make sure that nothing ‘sticks’.  I have known therapists and healers who say ‘oh nothing affects me I can remain detached and get out of the way’ I would suggest to check this out.

I have seen tiny dots or rents in the Auric sheaves and some entities or energies will ‘percolate’ through and gradually accumulation builds up until it seeps in and then becomes a growth or an asthma, a depression and I have seen some psychic take over and a kind of schizophrenia take place.

As technology goes nano and even smaller it is in the psychic levels of frequency and therefore can induce such energies by electronics and so reinforce the field of ego mania.

There is also a Chinese hack which may be useful ’fang song qi’ and a Japanese similarity ‘muga mushin’.  Both imply mind scanning body and feeling where the resistance, tension or something foreign is invading it. It is important to not judge the feeling as disease, a curse, a lump and so on, on becoming aware or this intrusion then use the awareness to just let it rest there until it passes.  The awareness is an intelligent energy.

Meditation is not so much on the body but in the mind, the same scanning but this time of the thoughts. Breathing gently and looking without bias, watching without opinion, attention without intention, watching intently without tension and expectancy, let it be.

Of course there is Yoga, Tai chi, Qi Gong, Palate's and a host of other relaxants. As one gets more sensitive to the finer vibrations one becomes aware of extreme course energy, shouting, anger, loud music, bad food and water and mindless chat on mobile / cell phones also ones own inner dialogue and mind chatter.  One then can recoil from society and yet in the midst of this without cutting off and getting headaches and intolerance one can reach for the breath as it were and watch and listen and clear in the midst of harassment. It means cultivating the witness and quiet mind.

The challenges today are enormous and all the more reason to employ meditative approaches to the challenges instead of resistance and anger.

Unkockingthegrowthtrust.

Like a thief in the night who creeps past the sleeping watchman the negative depressive energy and the feeling of pressure in the head with a bitter taste and the stomach bloated with a mind foggy like a murky car windscreen and a kind of goo slides down and covers it with a film of blobs and brown smelly crap.

In this analogy my body is the screen and this gunk is not inside so much as just below ‘skin level’ and if it were allowed could seep into the bones and organs and produce serious malfunctions of the brain and body.

It feels like a field of energy enveloping the body like an aura or sheaths something like the magnetosphere, the ionosphere around the Earth. I feel it is the astral sheath and the ego’s ally, all the putrid acidic shit is conjured up in there and from its association with the collective astral world sheath and the entities in that frequency range not only exacerbate it with their vileness and putrid energy but actually feed on it and from my contribution from my ego also contributes to this field and if not checked goes in partnership with it ,a formidable alliance indeed.

This field is immensely strong and overpowering and is part of the collective unconscious which is fuelled by media explicit pornography, wars, news of horror terrorist attacks, hideous war crimes and atrocities, satanic rituals, child sacrifice and paedophilia, horrific videos of  monsters and battles and so on, then there is the drug scene medical and recreational, invading ET’s and all this fuelled by Chemtrail and HAARP technologies of mind control and bad food and so on.

This can get to the meditate'r especially those in cities, quiet suburbs and country side can help lessen the effect, a cave or monastery in the Himalayas would be ideal.

Even when I lay in bed warm and cosy and relax  and begin to bless my body and the lovely day and feel one with the Universe, silently and sliding into the mind, creeping like a silent serpent and lo and behold intrusive thoughts, a fantasy, body aches. So my sleep is fitful and in the morning and in the hottest day of the year so far and having gone to bed, eat a snack late, I had the shakes and it was terrifying and a terrible premonition, I awoke late and awoke to this gooey crappy horrible feeling as described above and of course a gloomy anxious day, with an ominous feeling of something horrible was to arrive.

Prayer, EFT, qi gong, exercise and meditation could not shift this and I just simply watched it, I was too tired and exhausted to do anything else and sleep was not on. I began to relax a bit and began to get some awareness and breathe and watch the breath and gradually the dark gloomy clouds began to slowly drift away.

The car windscreen as above began to clear as if in a car wash and gradually the thin last sticky layer of accumulated mind stuff peeled back.  It was like that artificial skin one can use over a cut, or skim on milk. As I watched and relaxed and was non judgemental letting the process have it’s way, I realised that by not forming opinions on what was going on I was not fuelling getting rid of or promoting a better situation, I was in neutral.

Later on as I stayed with it I had the feeling that technology could induce these feelings and certain agencies could deliver this through electronic and even chemtrails so thereby fuelling ones own stuff and magnifying it. Furthermore should one not have some measure of awareness and the ability to be a witness to one’s inner mechanisms then one could be permanently possessed by these doom and gloom feelings and thoughts and become a really sick person? 

I have the feeling that the Earth and humanity are being slowly poisoned and choked and strangled like the boa constrictor, the python and anaconda and as we tighten through stress and anxiety the coils of the serpent squeeze the life force and joy from us in order to feed them.  

This of course takes away our energy and lots of upper chest repertory infections, lack lustre life and no energy so very little exercise then a couch potato and obesity, diabetes and all the world’s latest viruses and morbid infections and mind patterns and slothfulness.

However what is outlined above is manageable to a degree by cultivating this watchful witness who knows this is not natural to the human mind and spirit and so cultivates the witness who is ever free and untainted if it is not clouded. Eventually when humankind awakens out of the gloom of oppression, suppression, austerity and horror it will awaken to the mass ego mind games and throw off the blanket and shades and the curtains and veils that hide the light of freedom and emancipation from the yoke of false masters.

SHACK 468 THE TEACHER

Beherenownetwork.com

I want to escape from my own images; the guru, the enlightened one, the master and like some religious priests and others the shadow side clicks in, the exact opposite side presents itself. This then shows the false image belief and buried debris.

If I do not follow my saintly image God will punish me, it’s more like my ego has established this and these images, because it gives me an excuse for being a failure, a sinner and need for self inflicted punishment.

The sense of failure seemed to haunt my ability to form deep and meaningful relationships; I used to blame my upbringing with all its dysfunctional aspects and it still lingers at times as the saboteur.  Yes I was bullied at school until I was twelve years of age and I developed coping mechanisms and outlets which set up future patterns and habits and were a kind of safety net and when these let me down and I felt insecure and this led to fantasies and mind games and introversion, however a real help were the martial arts and in particular meditation which began the unravelling process and a glimpse at another choice.

I escaped social contact because of bullying and parental family stuff caused my distrust in people and just after my NDE I could feel adults saying one thing and meaning another all to get their own way and so on.

I felt out of place at noisy parties, and with the police at work, I found lot of competitiveness for promotion and many corrupt injustices and this made my trust in humanity heighten.

I hid my secret anxieties, fears and worries and to be in control as the leader the authority was a great strategy and coping mechanism. Strangely enough this worked well as I ‘taught that which I needed to learn through teaching others’ so the career of Judo, Meditation, Psychotherapist, healer and workshop presenter. Yet socially a loner.  I worked out my failure and shadow side in fantasies, drama workshops and having mentors. I had several girlfriends of a sort that helped me work out my sexual stuff and impotency, I realised the false images and began the task of detoxing mind and body.

My very real so it seemed failures and anxieties, especially around wealth and health, after all I was not worth having these qualities were my greatest teachers as they showed me what I was not. Meditation was the spotlight which revealed the dark hidden accumulation and by its light revealed the shadow.
