SHACK 3035 STILLNESS, ME AND THE ALL IN ALL.

Silence is Golden

To me waiting on the Lord is to ' Be still, know that I am God Within you' when in the quiet mind in meditation.

I feel renewed not so much physically but mentally and psychologically refreshed and clear. I feel going out of my head and flying in stillness and space as wings of eagles soaring and riding the currents of the inner peace and calm. I do not feel physical and can never faint.

Dwelling in the House of  the Lord feels like the joy of inner peace ' which passes all human understanding' and the light of the inner peace  and calm is so beautiful that I yearn to dwell in that incredible light and beauty, a beauty that is not of Earth. I feel this is like 'Behold I make all things Anew'.

The Temple feels ' The kingdom of heaven is Within'. Within the consciousness and mind.    

At these precious moments I feel 'The Mother / Father God, the Great Spirit and I are one.

SHACK 3034 REASON AND IDENTITY

Mental and Logical

There has to be a reason many say? Does there have to be a reason and logical explanation? To always have a reason, an explanation, an answer may provide an agreed reality and safety. To have no reason can lead one to be unsafe, unsure and have an extremely pliable and flexible identity which many may feel lost and on no safe ground.

Surely to have reason and logic in the day to day functions of modern life will be of use and ensure the smooth every day to day life in the world of the technical, scientific digital age. However just to dwell and live in technocracy and mechanical logic is to my mind only living life at a series of equations and a mathematical existence. However this may lead to an unemotional life, because emotions may not be logical and sometimes a runaway emotional life maybe as stifling as a super bound logical computer logical and ring fenced mind.

To some scientists the emotions, psychic abilities and the free mind are anathema and are like chasing rainbows. To know logically where you are, to know that you know say about academic modalities, orthodox religion, medical procedures and medicine, political agendas and the accepted perimeters of each is seemingly safe and secure and then can imprison and stultify the mind and encapsulate the mind in such a way that breeds fear of stepping to far out of its boundaries, which are its comfort zone.

Now to those on the path of mental emancipation or to seek enlightenment this imprisonment is horrific and yet even the spiritual quest of or in the mind has to live partially in the world and unless in a monastery or ashram, cave or being a hermit and off grid needs a tinge of logic and reason just for survival. The ashram and monastery have their basic routines which afford some safe physical and sustenance and the seemingly weary drudgery of every day prayers and so on may seem to some as the drudgery and weariness of the commuter, daily office and work grind.

Yet there maybe a marriage of the above; Some may through meditation and spiritual discipline and practices find themselves feeling and experiencing some sort of joy and freedom in these mundane situations either the office or monastery AND the very seemingly wearisome routines of both office and ashram provide the fuel to examine their existence in these modes of life. Why am I bound and imprisoned and feel hemmed in, after all I am earning a living although boring or even creative, why am I in this ashram, this cave, this discipline? Is there something other than this religion, this atheism, this daily grind and plod, this endless seeking for a God that is invisible, this moksha, this ananda, this satori, this samadhi, this oneness with oneness. 

The dead end of retirement from work, the hobby after work or just depression and the work became the reason to live and realising the safety net of employment of money and status now ended, OK I have the money I can travel, do cruises and then wait for death either disabled with old age or can afford a nice care home or retirement home, all of these seem a finality and for what, I now realise there is no permanency. I exist in this ashram doing the endless routines or at home which is my ashram doing my meditation, reading spiritual books, endless seminars on Zoom and webinars, doing Pilates, yoga, Tai chi, Qi Gong and eating only a recommended diet with do's and don'ts the same as the boss at work would impose or some doctor or guru, where am I in all this the same drudgery and endless quest in a somewhat nebulous future and as long as the future holds the key, the promise of Satori, mental emancipation without madness and or Alzheimer's, suicide, depression and old age and its seeming limitations. Live in the now they shout and say, this moment, feel the presence, relax and breathe, Oh God what a lot of crap and shit.

So I have a reason to live, there must be a reason, isn't it? When one has a reason and wants, desires a reason, there begins a series of thoughts to establish a reason based on an assumption that that is how life is, one must have a reason to live, must we? These thoughts lead to a compilation, a logical thought train as why I live and the Universe created, this compilation becomes a identity and a reason to preserve this identity, I am a male, I have a body, I somehow was born into my parents family, took their religion, their culture and then went to be educated and I had no choice or very little, putting aside reincarnation and all that and that maybe in my parents heritage as well or some other faith or atheistic upbringing. So my identity becomes as a series of thoughts preserved as beliefs and I automatically become the champion and defender of those and reason says we all have this as human beings and so the formation of the bundle, the compact library and the name of the bundle is EGO. This bundle then aggregates and becomes one's world and reality.

Then one may feel the constriction about the above aggregates and begins to question, at first just an inexplicable unease, maybe brought about by the horror of the news, an illness a loss of job, shock or something else and one's reality becomes challenged, there can follow some sort of neurosis and this can lead to depression and this could lead to an addiction of some sort. To some this could be the stirring of the 'spirit' the soul, this could be beginning of the quest to others well this is life and one either becomes addicted and runs away from the unrest, the house that begins to feel the quake, the early rumblings of discontent.   

To those that cover up this discontent with addiction or running away from this uncomfortable feeling and fear of madness, illness, suicide, depression and manufacture an illness to get the attention away from the feeling and form a reason to preserve the shambles caused by the quake, gather the remnants and rebuild the logic into some sort of former reality and beliefs, the beliefs of better to have something than nothing.

So one may realise that it takes an experiencer, a sort of witness to have woken up to this, I witness my childhood, my growing up and so on, there must have been an experiencer as a baby, me knowing I am watching TV, Life and now I realise I am an awareness, a consciousness the beliefs and all that are someone else's thoughts and ideas, I was too young to have known this, so I took them on board and now realise I was inculcated and brain washed, so the reason to have a system, a logical series in a bundle which has its own system of logic and reason to exist and defend and manipulate in extraordinary twists, configurations, denials, subtle and gross impositions on oneself and others is seen and yet so deeply embedded, so buried in the mind so as to be almost godlike and is indeed one's god and will act spontaneously and automatically react to a challenge or to Life's highways and byways without a thought, a reflex, a well trained ego response to life and its presentations.   

I have seen all of this and written copiously about this and yet so deeply buried and 'logically' 'reasoned' that the challenge still brings about a loss of awareness at times and I punish myself, 'see I reacted  and I should have been aware and feel guilty, I have let myself down and I start the preamble of the logic and therefore I begin a subtle identity of do's and don'ts about the identity of no identity and living in the presence of awareness becomes a reality just a nebulous as any other. This indeed is a very cunning and subtle trap. 

Who said I should be in awareness, the presence and empty mind? Some fat old Buddha Monk, some old cranky Guru or because I feel free, joyous and alive when I 'touch and feel' the emptiness and impermanence of the fleeting haranguing of the invading pressure of reactive HABITUAL thoughts that seem to have a mind of their own. Indeed they do they have their energy source from the bundle, the collective beliefs and support systems that form the ego, the government and all the offices with military that ego surrounds itself and the strange thing this identity actually does not have a central core, a solid organic corporeal one, it merely hijacks the brain and the organic flesh body it has been established in by inculcation and brain washing, it is reality a mind of its own making, correction a mind of borrowed and inherited hand me downs, some generations of solid beliefs which are not solid and humanity was duped into thinking they were and so these layers of hand-me-downs of brainwashed inculcated generations are like mountains of impacted dense layers they seem impregnable and stand steadfast and stand mighty and proud against any onslaught.   

Deep in itself the ego senses its frailty and vulnerability and so constantly is aware of this and quickly acts to repair any weakness or chinks in its armour, it leaps to patch and plug a  leak in the dam or broken tiles, in some cases cause death of the organic host it usurped and does this by psychosomatic invasion.   

What is the reason to form another reason?

SHACK 3033 THE THRUST OF EGO

Cancel Culture

The ego frantically tries different fantasies and scenarios like an actor in many parts hoping to finally find a role that is totally satisfying and a seemingly real reality that is solid and reliable. 

Between fantasies, explorations, trials and errors it forgets or conveniently forgets or is in denial that the 'space' before diving to escape the seemingly and surmised emptiness, a running away from presumed boredom and annihilation is the very Self it is seeking and not recognising it as such.   

How can emptiness be the Self it screams and is bewildered?; it is the misperception of emptiness, the world of ego is constant doing and being occupied, the more clutter be it diamonds, empires, celebrity status, the more clutter and hoarding be it academic or material possessions, the more power and authority an authority that rusts and decays with time, the material rust and decays, the psychological with senility or constantly chasing innovations or upgrades and updates and age denying the energy as will death.

The thrust, the push the energy of chasing like Don Quixote tilting or chasing windmills can lead one to an awakening or depression and suicide or just getting into some distraction which can lead to addiction, obsession and waiting to die or looking desperately for some way or anyway out.

OR finally surrendering to that which is not there but is ever present.

SHACK 3031 THE hologram that is you.

Adobe Stock

Suddenly it was there; I looked up and out of the window at the the tree and I gasped. The tree stood out out like the hologram on a credit or debit card, I blinked and looked around the room and everything stood out alive and in 3 D.  I paused and let it sink in, everything was so alive and beautiful colour and I was content and peaceful and very much present and alive.

Then in came my mind and intellect; how could this be, I had read I think sometime ago that Gopi Krishna had something similar in his book about kundalini and I had reread it again some months earlier, was this me fantasising, wishing, copying? So I stayed with it a few days and it was apparent for the time being a genuine shift in perception or just an evolutionary shift in my meditations and Qi Gong and spiritual quest? I know not?

I know that I tend to analyse and my critical scientific mind wants to know and explain. However I recognise that my ego safety net must have a reason and feel secure and I recognise that 'feel' energy and it has tinge of fear and uncertainty in it, I must know to feel safe and hedge my bets as it were. 

This 'feel' was like an AH HA a sort of light came on ;how does this hologram come about in the brain, there is a work by Karl .H. Pribram and I understood how the neurons and axioms all could act or serve as the reference beam and so on in the brain, but how does it feel so solid as to the touch so tangible. That like the TV you get the words of ;

From File

Just like the those great scientists who say the Secret of the Universe is vibrations, frequencies and so on, so the Source of creation and the broadcasting antennae of the TV station send out vibrations as signals that contain information and our brain and the TV set have soft ware in the TV as printed circuits and chips and in the brain certain neurones, axioms and synaptic circuitry that is the equivalent as the TV software printed circuit boards only the Cosmic edition is organic, uses atoms, molecules and of particles therein. 

Just as the TV is flat and there are some holographic TV's with touch, smell and scent which only send a vibration as simple pulse and the brain interprets that as touch but is not backed by human real back up it has a feel of a synthetic manipulation a virtual simulation and in time believe it to be the real tangible human sense touch of our sensory perceptions. It is made to feel someone human is communicating.

In fact this is deep brain washing techniques and if one is exposed to these artificial simulations and virtual realties one becomes inculcated and completed addicted and obsessed and this becomes ones culture, religion and reality, this is what I have been on about in many past SHACK's, this is what our parents and many generations have passed down to us and we had no choice, (read  back SHACKS's ) there are many films on this as well.  

From File

So many people are besotted, addicted and lost in their brain washed hand me downs of parental guidance and the child so open and believing that in many cases the option to think is denied and supressed from a very early age and the person goes quietly down these tracks without ever questioning one's culture, ethics, religion, politics and so on and I am not saying this is wrong or casting doubt only to say that this can be so obsessive as to cause another addicted brainwashed opinion as to be contrary and cause a breakdown and seen as challenge to ones choice and to cause relationship severance, anger, and in some cases war and murder.  

Now to the human hologram; how does  it appear so real so fleshly so emotional and so amazing in its brain, physiology that in its complexity and growth it stands before one as extraordinary being as opposed to the TV or virtual editions of this attempt to emulate this act of creation? In organic dedifferentiation, organogenesis, gastrula and so on the biological academic model is explained, however I go outside the box. Particles exchange at the vacuum quantum 'space' and form atoms (the empty atom, that emptiness is conscious, awareness and (Comic Intelligence---which academia by and large would reject)the atoms form cells by direction from Source and these then are a planned directive an informed planned process and so in my view the cells in the brain are so programmed as to feel the tangibility and intuit the 'real' from the virtual' in fact when one awakens to the fact that one is a clone and has been taught everything and had very little choice perhaps a few 'rebellious' inclinations or passing thoughts as to one's birth and quickly dismisses this and goes to the mundane and then awakens to who am I before brain washing?

I have described in back articles the shock and process from this it can be liberating, catastrophic, depressing or even suicidal and many other reactions. Because this whole human hologram and indeed the Cosmic Universal Hologram is planned from Cosmic Intelligence it is a self aware Universe and as such bestows on the and in the human hologram the ability to be aware of Itself and so feel Itself in  tangibility, its God if you will or any other name, Spirit, Source of Life, The Creator being aware of Itself as a feeling human being, we testify to God's existence through our likeness as far as feeling ourselves as an alive human. The difference between virtual reality which can entrain and make believe the reality is real and everlasting through addiction that is in very brain washed individual or group seems concrete and immortal and unshakeable, that it can with persistence and therapy can be broken. The one that has reached beyond brain washing can find the self as an empty space awareness and the empty enlightened mind can only be shattered by filling that emptiness by torture and an attempt to fill it with some sort of thought process and attempt to inculcate and brain wash, this is in fact why materialism is so hollow because it is swappable whereas emptiness is what it is and the one can feel this as Cosmic Consciousness which is a stand alone experience.

The Universe is Self Aware of Itself and we are aware we exist. We are the aware conscious expression of the Cosmos, the Universe Being Aware of Itself. We are the Intelligent atom in concert with Its Atomic family. When the atoms are planned to form materialism by human intelligence they form relationships which do not have the intelligence of the Divine family, they form all sorts of different objects and things HOWEVER they lack the Divine feel, they are 'plastic, iron, concrete' and beautiful they may be, a scientific wonder they be, they do not give the feel of another human or hugging your dog or a tree. It is that Divine feel which is the ability to make a feeling human hologram, God wants to feel God through us. After all God is an invisible Intelligence, has no form so puts Itself into us an organic hologram and being a holographic Universe cut up into pieces shows us as a splinter of the whole.

SHACK 3030 THE SELF AWARE UNIVERSE

The Self Aware Universe

Various quotes I have collected and now sharing and their sources are not always known; 'What does, we are the Universe experiencing Itself mean? There is a beautiful saying by an American Philosopher (Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 - 16 November 1973) was a British philosopher who interpreted and popularized Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. Born in Chislehurst, England, he moved to the United States in 1938 and began Zen training in New York). He used to say that through our eyes the Universe is perceiving Itself and through our ears the Universe is listening to Itself.

 

Universe Shock

From Cosmic Harmonies 'And we are the witness to which the Universe becomes conscious of Its glory, of Its magnificence'.

Unknown author; The universe is is self aware of Itself----we are aware we exist?

We are the conscious expression of the Universe being conscious of Itself.

Should one agree that Consciousness created the Universe then the Creator Consciousness could only create from Its own intelligence which is contained in consciousness. I feel awareness is the quality of consciousness and being aware is a sign of intelligence and from that Intelligent Consciousness could only create all of Its forms from planets, stars, galaxies, bacteria, organic and therefore there is no organic, just differing forms of 'aliveness' in everything known and unknown has particles and atoms and the 'aliveness' of particles and atoms which are constantly moving, exchanging and creating are the constituents of Consciousness, the ingredients of the cake but consciousness is the collator and an invisible Conscious Aware Intelligence that assembles and creates the form It plans and delivers. The ingredients is not Consciousness, Consciousness is the Invisible 'field' that they the forms arise from and descend to, the eternal fountain of Life.

   PART 2

steemit

From the image as an analogy the 2-D is the field of consciousness and it is projected into a form of the hologram, the hologram appears real if one has seen them in a theatre or presentation and one can walk through them. So consciousness is the projector and the forms seem real. Maybe thought is but accumulated holographic 'discs, Videos, CD's, tapes, files that are collated by inculcation and supersedes and overlays the Cosmic programme. There is local ego thought and non local Cosmic thought, the brain acts as decoder for either. To be One with the projector consciousness is to one with oneself.

Can Stock

The Projector the aware consciousness has the Universal Hologram and by bestowing the gift of Its own consciousness into various forms either as free will or Universal Will to Galaxies, Stars, Planets and nature, I feel they has surrendered their gift of 'FREE WILL' and are content to do the Cosmic Plan through Natural Evolution.

Space Machine (I do not agree with all small print describing evolution but is a good diagram for assisting my explanations)

The quantum fluctuate is an analogy for the field of Consciousness and as the Consciousness evolves through It's Divine Plan, the hologram is reconfigured and upgraded. Now the brain becomes part of the hologram as a computer and interpreter of the Cosmic Plan say as TV that is tuned to the Cosmic Plan (the DNA is a great facilitator for this indeed a receptor) and the brain for receiving and storing the free will holograms invented by human kind as the ego. Perhaps an awake brain that is becoming more self aware has the capacity for both Cosmic and ego and is awake and discerning through intuition in what is at the present moment and spatial and now as factual local needs and action.

Ui Futuristic

Now the human hologram may seem tangible and sort of fleshly solid yet all this is the inbuilt design to 'feel real and corporeal ' yet this is the delusion and illusion of realty as distinct form the Buddhist view of impermanence and transient life.

The Matrix

 So what are electrical signal's; An electrical signal is a voltage or current which conveys information, usually it means a voltage. The term can be used for any voltage or current in a circuit.-----Electricity is the movement of electrons between atoms. The human body also contains bio photons and photons. We are light beings. So the projector is projecting light, as do human projectors, so we are a light show, arranged in such a way we feel we are real, tangible, we know we live and die but how much of this real as it were or just a cinematic 3D light show and OUR Thoughts ACCUMULATED TO BELIEFS reinforce and inculcate us to believe it is real 'Bible Jesus. 'What so ever you believe, if you believe with all your heart and might, so shall it be for you, you can say to a mountain be gone and it will' ' Buddha 'The mind is everything, what you think you become'

MAYBE WE BELIEVE WE ARE ALIVE AND CONSCIOUS OR PERHAPS WE ARE NOT?

SHACK

Photon is a small packet of electromagnetic energy or light. A scientist studying atoms are atoms studying themselves, the scientist unknowing or not aware may think the atoms are something outside themselves but it is their essence and a shared one with the Universe. SHACK 

SHACK 3029 KUNDALINI

Pranic Healing

 The mystical energy that many say is Kundalini and some say is the same as Chi, Ki, Life force.

Pranic Healers 

The image above depicts a lotus flower and it opens to the light and this is symbolic of the light gathered in the hara or dantien and is energy harvested as it were in the tandem in the dantien;

Santos Sachdeva

The image depicts that the hara, dantien, tanden area is a field just below the navel that collects and stores chi, there are several ways of harvesting or gathering this, Yoga, breath work, meditation and tai chi, qi gong and related Eastern practices, just what chi is is debatable and is it the same as kundalini?

Crystal links

Some say that the Earth creates the kundalini and that is a physical energy that arrives with the body at birth and is stored in the base chakra and lies dormant until activated, it is best to research this, as there are many opinions by guru's and other experts.

I feel that the subject is vast and I can only relate my own experiences with these energies; I feel the energy flowing up my spine and over the head down to the dantien if I direct it so in some qi gong forms, also in certain forms I can feel the chi / ki / kundalini as heat, cold, tingling and bliss and ananda, in a shamanic form of bringing the soul energy down from the 'halo or eight chakra, I can feel the energy cocooning me and it feels almost tangible. 

The 'magnetic' resistance in doing certain forms such as; 

Qi Ball
 

The hands can be also shoulder width or more apart and when I breathe in I extend them and breathing out I bring them close together I can feel a sort of resistance and continuing the movement my hands almost burn with the tingling chi, I have been tested and others tested it is not circulation, stiffness or awkward positioning of hands. Many others can add to this with their experiences. It leaves me feeling energised not so much physically but mentally, brain clarity and in peace. 

When I used to do hands on healing as it were, I rarely touched the skin or clothing the energy in my hands was really like the above and some people could feel it, there have been measurements done with chi emanations.

The best way is to do some Tai Chi and especially Qi Gong and feel it your self.

Gopi Krishna had a spontaneous kundalini awakening and to some extent I had similar ones brought about by meditation, Judo, Kendo, Aikido, Tai chi, Qi gong and certainly the koan as described some SHACK's back, it is not an easy energy and it can be uplifting, sometimes depressing as it goes about by it's intuitive guidance like chi which to me has a different feel it feels as if it has its own guidance and is intelligent. Both go about their burning, pushing, caressing, harmonising in their evolutionary way of clearing blockages and stimulating the nervous systems. I would not suggest trying by any means to raise kundalini, I was fortunate to have an intuitive understanding brought about by the KOAN.
