'Seeing' Perfection, part 2

Trading Duality for Non-Duality:

Humanity need only glance at our world to accept the nature of reality as dualistic. After all, in the absence of dualism, we could hardly be distracted by preference nor empowered from a plethora of personal choice. For most of us, the window to duality encourages an endless stream of likes countered by an equal share of dislikes. The essence of duality encourages us to see the world through the lens of the EgoSelf filter. This vision of reality leaves us in a state of eternal separation. With survival in the balance, we find ourselves competing against the world where success or failure appears to be drawn from the choices we entertain. Judgment becomes the sieve through which all choice is filtered.

Duality Breeds Judgment:

Naturally, dualism encourages each of us to divide our entire reality on a good versus bad scale. Never do we use critical thinking to examine the validity of our role as a consummate judge. Surely, we might make headway merely by paying attention to our behaviour.

Why do we behave in this judgmental manner?

Perhaps, the simplest answer to this query follows in the fact this is the way we have been taught to experience, then reflect upon, our existence. Although many of us are compassionate, giving, or loving individuals, we do live our life from an egocentric position. By and large, this judgmental perspective proves valuable when considering; survival, hedonism, or self-fulfillment. 

Perhaps, as a society, it is worth asking if there are potential drawbacks to an egocentric lifestyle? Moreover, do these drawbacks limit the advancement of harmonious living on a personal, communal, national, or global stage?

Possibly, we might consider holstering the metaphoric gun of judgment so that we may have the opportunity to determine how our behaviour is affecting our lives. Prior to evaluating the benefits, or drawbacks, of our actions we need to establish an honest appraisal of the way, humans navigate through this complex reality called consciousness. 

The moment we place a morsel in our mouth we already have an archived barometer of whether the experience will be desirable. If testing out new food we will automatically update our archive for future reference. Whilst judging the good/bad experience of biting into the next morsel, many variables weighed in the scale might include health, pleasure, texture, or taste. In time, the entire realm of potential food and beverage offerings will have been self scaled from good to bad, acceptable or undesirable.

Meeting someone for the first time we will unconsciously spend the first few moments evaluating their appearance, demeanor, sexuality, character, along with a host of other subconsciously graded assessments. Do I like this individual? Does this person make me feel good or bad? Will their appearance in my life lift or diminish my status? What personal benefits or drawbacks might manifest if I further encourage relations with this person? 

Essentially, we are attempting to judge if the person before us will prove to represent an asset or liability. 

Examining the events of our life, personal or third party, we cannot help but evaluate their impact upon us. Am I aligned with conservative or liberal politics? What is my opinion of Donald Trump? How do I react to war, religion, government, authority, or the bugger who just kicked me in the pants? 

Nearly every waking moment we consciously or subconsciously evaluate the minutia of our reality. Without reservation, we create the grand hierarchy of good and bad. If there is one word that best defines the behaviour of a human being, I believe the word would be JUDGE. We just cannot help ourselves; there seems no end in sight. Think about the way you conduct your life. 

Do you spend more time eating, working, sleeping, relaxing or judging? 

If honest I trust you will agree, more of your brain energy is spent judging your world than conducting any other activity. The role of a judge is an ever-present companion to experiential reality. Utterly pervasive, the judge represents one of the most invisible aspects of our identity. Hiding in plain sight the eternal judge rules over our world. Considering its impact upon our lives, it is a surprise to note how closely we need to look before we begin to comprehend the full extent of its influence.

Ponder this, as you awake the first impression to cross your mind is your state of being. Do I feel well? Have I rested enough? Am I looking forward to, or dreading, the day ahead? How is the weather? Is the shower temperature pleasing? How is my breakfast? Is the traffic tediously heavy or pleasantly light? Will the rain stop or continue? 

The list of appraisals never end whereby the process transitions into a habit which is, most often, manifested unconsciously. For the most part, we prove incapable of connecting with the judgmental thought process. The judge appears to us as a benign little data processor in the back of our mind. We know it is collecting, evaluating, archiving an endless stream of data, however, we don't stop to think of how much this little processor affects our experience of life. Even though we are capable of self-reflection we still allow our brains to run on autopilot. 

By example, on the drive to work an endless array of judgment is being reviewed, to name a few examples: the number of red lights, actions of other drivers, aromas in the air, the weather, even the music on the radio. No aspect of your reality will fail to be evaluated. 

If you suggest this is not the case I urge you to consider how you will react to the next obnoxious driver, annoying song, pounding rainstorm, or smelly farm. Do you not agree with how hitting every single red light on the way to work tomorrow will cause angst? Try as you might list all grievances chaffing at your collar I am confident you will surely miss most of the petty judgments. 

Regardless of how comprehensive is your list, do you see how only the tip of a very large iceberg has been revealed?

The good/bad scale will always exist in your mind; however, this does not mean you need to be an emotional victim to the process. Instead of accepting the inevitable victimisation, you can choose to impassionately accept all reality. To aide with the process of emancipating myself from the good/bad yo-yo of preferential living, I think of a leaf on a river. The leaf completely surrenders to the will of the river. Finding a working metaphor that allows you to step aside from the autopilot judgment ritual is not easy but does yield wonderful results in reducing stress from your life.

What gains can be discovered from dropping the baggage of eternal judgment?

For many people the steady but relentless evaluation of all life experience plays havoc with their sense of peace, fulfilment, joy. Unbeknownst to these poor souls judgment has their heart rate jumping up and down like a Mexican bouncing bean. They feel angst, discomfort, imbalance almost every moment of the day. What they are experiencing is the dis-ease of living a reality that is far removed from the idealistic image of perfection they subconsciously covet. The process of accounting for perfection denied is the singular most powerful dis-ease from which humankind must suffer.  

We wonder why cancer is on the rise. How many of us point the finger at the judge within? 

The little voice, representing a barrage; unspoken discomfort, unhappiness, malcontent, might very well be the real harbinger of rapid cancer cell growth. People who constantly live at odds with the world end up paying a hefty toll in impaired health. Obviously, if we spend our entire life swimming upstream it is reasonable to assume we will become tired, depleted, worn right out.         

Possibility your life is perfect. Not my problem, you say. Maybe you believe that living in a constant state of judgment makes your life better. More the case though, like most of us, you bear the angst of dis-ease silently. Never do we imagine for a moment how the root of our ill-health might very well be a result of the judgmental role we just cannot release. Severely disheartened by the void between the vision of a perfect world weighed against the reality we experience the cancer cells in our body quietly multiply.

First hand I have seen this process of judgmental decrepitude happen. My foster mother, at a young age, died of cancer. In my mind, the cancer was a physical manifestation of a mother having to experience a life that was too far removed from the one she wished to realise. Of course, cancer is merely one outlet for the dis-ease of humankind. Heart, pulmonary and neurological diseases are other common end games to the dis-ease which afflicts people.

Western medicine, with its limited perspective of cause and effect, often attribute the dis-ease of well being to stress. Your doctor as part of her assessment might ask you. "How stressful is your life?" Instead, she could inquire. "How are you managing the difference between your desired reality and the life you presently experience?"

Eastern philosophy, much more adept at reaching for causation, will seek to balance your chi as a means to eradicate your sense of dis-ease with life. Chinese medicine, by focusing on one’s energy body, offers its patients a broader complement of medical solutions. The physiological health of the body is directly related to the psychological health of ones' mind. Health evaluations, as well as recommended remedies, must incorporate both the physical and subtle bodies. Successfully managing the gap between desired and realised reality is, in my humble opinion, an essential ingredient to good health. 

The mental gymnastics of judgment certainly makes life harder to endure. Each time we judge we invariably find ourselves farther afield from a happy life. In light of your own personal experience, can you see judgment silently wreaking considerable havoc with your life? If the true depth of emotional despair were revealed I believe all of us would deem the findings shocking. Accepting how judgment affects our health an important question arises. 

Is it possible to step off the hamster wheel of judgment? 

To answer this query the old saying "I have good news and bad" seems rather apropos. Good news, you certainly can reverse the process of eternally judging your reality. Bad news, you will have to dispel a lifetime of habit so deeply ingrained that the judgmental process unconsciously rules your day to day experience of life. Accordingly, your path toward non-judgment will involve finding a way to convince yourself duality is an illusion. 

There is no up/down, right/wrong, you/me, paradigm as depicted by the, very convincing, EgoSelf filter of reality. For this journey, you will need your GodSelf filter firmly stapled to your head. Hard as it might be, you will need to trade the construct of duality in for nondual considerations.   

Non-Duality / GodSelf Filter:

Prior to solving the dilemma of judgment, you will first need to be open to the possibility that reality might very well exist in a state of perfection. I am sure you will agree this will not be an easy nut to crack! Non-duality, in the realm of spiritualism, is the term most often used to illustrate this drive toward harmonic living. Non-duality, contrary to the moniker, is not about denying duality. Rather non-duality is about simply accepting that, contrary to the way we experience our reality, there is not two. When we reach for non-duality we must do so from a point of absolute singularity. 


Perhaps looking at non-duality as it relates to the various states of H2O, boiling water verses ice, we might begin to grasp the difference between dualism and non-dualism. Both steam and ice are states of the H2O molecular bond, both appear as separate entities but in reality, they are one and the same.   

Let's take a glance at how this, laissez-faire, philosophy can be either easy or hard to apply. There are Brussels sprouts as well there are carrots. I may prefer carrots, I may choose carrots, however, it will not serve me well to suggest Brussels sprouts are bad. There is the perfect drive to work or the reckless driver who smacks into my car. I may prefer to enjoy a perfect drive, I may choose a perfect drive, yet the moment I deem a reckless driver slamming into my car is bad I will have invalidated a portion of my potential future reality. In the process of denying a potential outcome, I am diminishing the Godliness of all manifest reality.

Surely, it is much easier to deal with a plate of Brussels sprouts, juxtaposed to a painfully horrific accident, yet, we can easily determine how both eventualities can cause us grief. The scale of the grief suffered is significantly different in degree, however, similar is the internalisation of malcontent. If there exists a dis-ease with the outcome life had provided, then this dis-eased energy body must be reconciled with the physical body.

Which has a greater impact upon my life; the Brussels sprouts or the horrific accident? May I suggest the answer could be neither. Both represent dis-ease with your present reality. Dis-ease may present itself on a small or grand scale, either way, it is detrimental to your well being.

When living within the realm of non-duality, the adherent realises it is essential life be comprised of dualism. Certainly, there is nothing wrong with our preferences naturally expanding into the reality we wish to see unfold. However, we do ourselves a disservice when we fail to see how all potential outcome has a righteous place in our world. Insisting on the reality we receive is not acceptable will create dis-ease. If we demand carrots for every meal, or a perfect drive each time we enter our vehicle, we deny the important role duality plays in offering flavour to our reality. 

The more we use judgment to fight our reality, the more we find dis-ease will affect our health. For, in the absence of duality, there are no carrots, cars, preferences, nor alternative choices from which we might select. Eliminate duality, you will discover a pool of nothingness will remain. 

Would you rather duality or nothingness? You cannot have both.

Dualism affords humans the chance to exercise their sense of self. From the preferences we covet to the choices we make, each of us creates a special, unique persona. Terrific is the ultimate outcome of duality as individual snowflakes can now rejoice in a state of GodSelf beingness. 

Imagine how bland our world would be if we each were carbon copies regurgitating the same catalogue of preferences, experiencing identical lives. For one to experience up there must be a down from which to choose. 

Love cannot become manifest, nor appreciated, if fear were not present to provide contrast. Every person, event and experience, must have their own seat on the bus. From the vantage of duality, the beggar contrasts with the billionaire. We come to learn the murderer serves a purpose equally as important as does the victim or the doctor who might precipitously intervene. All manifest reality is God, therefore all reality is equally worthy of our love, especially the things we might label as bad.

Non-dualism is embraced only when we release the habit of judging one aspect of GodSelf reality as better or worse than another. Preferences, along with choice, empower our EgoSelf spirit. 

Judgments' predicating choice will always devalue our true GodSelf identity. 

Aspects of our reality we choose to label as bad will always steer us away from unconditional love, in doing so we diminish the divinity of the GodSelf. However much our autopilot judge sits in session, we do have the capacity to get our butt off the bench. We can embrace our preferences while, at the same time, choose to love, honour, then respect what we once deemed revile. The process of releasing judgment will inevitably lead to unconditional love which, as far as I am concerned, is a beautiful destination. 

There need not be a void between desired and experienced reality. Dismiss the urge to judge, in doing so the two worlds will become one. If by chance, you entirely eliminate judgment then you will finally 'see' absolute perfection is all which might exist. Holding the truth of unconditional love in your heart will allow you to discover your world is, and always will be, absolutely perfect.

Sliding a powerful thread of non-duality through the fabric of my life, I am blessed with love. There is a rock I hold upon when I find it difficult to remember non-duality, a simple affirmation that helps guide me toward a state of unconditional love.

The rock is a vision I constructed years ago, one which I hold dear. Love is all there is, everything else I believe to be a persistent illusion.

Often I reflect upon experiences I would have judged as bad but then remembered this too is God. The ideal I seek is to experience life as a simple leaf effortlessly accepting the will of the river. By resisting the urge to divide reality into good versus bad I discover the present moment will always unravel as an amazingly beautiful GodSelf gift.   

Placing the proverbial gun of judgment in its holster may not prove an easy task. Yet, from the perspective eradicating the dis-ease within you, living free of judgment should be considered an imperative. With this goal in mind, we address the second query.

How can I better manage my life?

Unless you are a spiritual master, of which I believe none of us qualifies, the path toward reason represents a slow but steady transition. The role of the judge is so invisibly pervasive the journey toward freedom from dis-ease will undoubtedly constitute as many steps forward as back. Surely, as we progress up the spiritual mountain, we should accept our gains will be tempered by slips and falls. 

The burden of effecting change in our thought processes is enormous; it is worth remembering how each successful war contains many lost battles.

Having endured years of failure in trying to live a life free of judgment there are a few bits of spiritual beef jerky I can toss your way. Hopefully, a little introspection will add a dose of energy to your pursuit. Free from expectation, devoid of resistance, I can choose to accept, cherish, then love whatever blessing each moment might afford. While identifying with personal preferences I can still choose to love, even honour whatever reality might unfold.

In choosing this course of action you no longer identify Donald Trump, the murderer, starvation, or the desperate planet as bad outcomes. Instead, with GodSelf eyes you see duality unfolding in the form of absolute perfection. Yes, when you stop judging his actions, even Donald Trump is perfect. How beautiful your world becomes when you remember to see through the eyes of GodSelf.

The burden of good/bad along with the concept of a messed-up world will, in time, vanish. Releasing the scales of justice will allow you to miraculously cure much of the dis-ease from your life. It will become easier for you to let go of ill feelings toward the vast amount of experienced reality which starkly contrasts your misbegotten sense of preference.

Choosing to release judgment will magically transform you into an amazing spiritual alchemist. You will continually look into your heart for anything which is not loved when you discover these dis-eased sentiments you simply apply spiritual truth from the 'seer' perspective then consciously transform the dark energy into love.  

How beautiful, embracing non-duality becomes the spiritual alchemy capable of transforming judgment to acceptance, fear to love, denial to unity. The choice is always yours, the cure for the disease is free, just grab ahold of unconditional love.

Perhaps you disagree? Possibly you see the task as inane, or impossible? You could be thinking, easy enough to say Christopher, but what would you do if someone murdered your child? 

Answering this question, it is likely I would want to kill a person for such a horrible act. 

However, I could also remind you, it is in my power to choose another path. I might grab hold of philosophy, in doing so, remember death is an illusion. With luck, I would choose to live within the loving spirit of non-duality. Then again, I might purchase a shotgun and blow his sorry ass out of existence.

Mostly I would hope, before acting out of revenge, I remembered all manifest reality is God in disguise. Knowing God cannot exist within the box of good or bad, right or wrong, there is a slim chance I could offer the murderer of my child love. If luck were with me I would have 'seen' how the murderer, my child, myself, are all beautiful unique reflections of GodSelf. We three represent one singular non-dual being. 

Finally, after many days of grieving the loss of my child, I might grab a hold of the ultimate rock of truth. GodSelf can never be divided. Holding dearly to the philosophy of singularity I might then validate, cherish, then choose to love all which has or will manifest. 

When we truly accept all manifest reality is GodSelf, we agree it is senseless to diminish any portion of the GodSelf. My preference is toward love, I do not choose to be a murderer. This, in no way, suggests I cannot accept, value, even love, the GodSelf beings who take life. 

My life has been littered with countless choices of which I regret, Choices made without consideration of GodSelf truth. None more debilitating or dis-ease rendering than being directly responsible for taking the life of three young African men. None of these beautiful men enjoyed the full life of which I have been so blessed. In the moment of EgoSelf battle, I believed my choices had merit. Hindsight, in the light of Godself truth, proved otherwise. 

The burden of taking a life is nearly insurmountable. Still, I assure you, the dis-ease of living with such a heinous choice can be eased by the unconditional love of GodSelf.

Having the capacity to see your world in light of absolute perfection will not guarantee you fully release judgment. If you are like me, you will embrace a GodSelf vision while at the same time discover the clear majority of your life is still being filtered through EgoSelf glasses of judgment.

Until we rein in the judge, dis-ease will always be rampant in our life. Believing survival is an essential part of the living experience, we are hardwired to judge, fear, hate. The process of dis-ease is inevitable if, in the spirit of judgment, each step distances us from unity. There is a good reason for the monk to eliminate all outside influence, they know very well how difficult it is living a GodSelf life when faced with the trappings of the modern world.

I do not believe we are meant to exist in solitude. Community, I feel, offers us the easiest path toward discovering the GodSelf vision. Through the process of living a rich life, we discover endless opportunities to learn how to see with GodSelf eyes. 

The inverted reflection of EgoSelf is undoubtedly the whetstone upon which GodSelf truth can be honed. 

Romping around in the muddy EgoSelf hole of despair, truth is best made available when we use GodSelf philosophy to wipe ourselves clean. Embroiled in the process of falling in the mud followed by a reflective cleansing of the body surely must accelerate our path toward the equanimity of living beyond judgment. Essentially, we are beings well designed to fail. Comfort can be found in knowing each failure invariably offers a new path toward our eventual success. Perhaps you will experience life in a similar fashion as do I, whereby, you feel like you are two people in one body. 

The EgoSelf human, constantly judging all aspects of your reality under the scope of a survival mentality. 

The GodSelf human, denying judgment by accepting all manifest reality as a reflection of perfection.

If you arrive at this bipolar destination, you will likely discover the greatest part of your life is lived wearing the glasses of EgoSelf. Even though your spiritual toolbox allows you to embrace unconditional love, you will find your tools rusting in the box as you allow, fear biased, structures of judgment to wreak dis-ease in your life. In this light, you will discover the smallest part of your life will be enjoyed basking in the glory of your GodSelf philosophy. The saving grace, respite from dis-ease is available as soon as you choose to don the GodSelf glasses. Take comfort in knowing GodSelf power has much more influence than does the illusions promoted by the EgoSelf. Short-lived isolated moments where we live with GodSelf truth seem capable of dispelling a lifetime of illusion fed by our EgoSelf reality. So often I read of spiritualists who suggest it is important to eliminate the EgoSelf. 

I strongly disagree!

We serve ourselves well when we accept, love, then give thanks to the lessons and illusions offered by the EgoSelf. Each time the EgoSelf slices up the reality we are given a chance to deny the illusion. Instead of realising fear, we embrace the GodSelf filter, then, we redefine reality from a perspective of singularity, unity consciousness, unconditional love. 

The more lessons taught by EgoSelf, the greater chance we have to connect with the ultimate truth of love. Holding absolute perfection close to heart, let us smile when the EgoSelf monkey mind dons his garb. He may still grab his tambourine while dancing a jig in our mental reality, but, we will 'see' his deception as an illusion. 

When I find myself judging aspects of my reality, I know the monkey is dancing about in my mind. The dance, his purposeful way of teaching me anew that love is all there is. He winks at me, "Hey Christopher, I have you dancing to illusion again, pay attention to the philosophy of your GodSelf truth."

Non-duality is a beautiful vision impossible to see when witnessed through EgoSelf glasses. Each time you lose sight of the truth of non-duality the monkey will be holding your hand. Wink back at him for me, then, when the dance ends, give thanks in knowing imperfection is an illusion. 

After all, perfection is in the eye of the beholder. Like the GodSelf vision, perfection always exists but rarely is it 'seen'. We, as spiritualists, learn to strive for non-duality. Moreover, we understand non-duality is, always will be, our true identity. If you feel unsuccessful in embracing non-duality, relax in knowing you will be given another opportunity. My guess is, it will not be long before your monkey asks for another dance. 

Solace is found in knowing GodSelf simply cannot make a misstep. All iterations of yourself, past, present or future, are absolutely perfect.

What do you think, is it possible all moments of reality are perfect?

Unity Consciousness:

Those inclined toward a spiritual, non-religious, pursuit of philosophy will have an easier time grasping the concept of unity consciousness. Regardless of how excruciatingly difficult it is to understand the ideology of unification, trying to embrace a basic concept of unity will prove an essential cornerstone toward the destination of seeing reality as a function of absolute, unequivocal perfection.

Religion has taught humanity to adhere to the concept of a God who created the universe. Whether our religion speaks of Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad, or any other religious icon, those who are religious collectively agree it is God who made each of us. When I discuss unity consciousness with people of religion, I find their sense of unity equates to the accepted belief God 'created' you and I both, therefore we are one.

This limited understanding of unity as a function of being 'created' by God will not further ones' ability to fully grasp unity consciousness. In fact, a religious belief structure only serves to muddy the waters of this esoteric principal. What if we look at unity consciousness from a scientific perspective, whereby, we consider unity in the way Einstein would. 

Physics offers a far better vehicle toward unity consciousness than does religion. Einstein, by seeing reality as an illusion, proffers a concise description of the experience we call reality.

Without exception, all quantum physicists agree our reality is best defined as a holographic illusion. We appear to exist as separate beings marching through time and space. However, time, space, along with the physical representation of individuality, is nothing more than a very convincing illusion. 

Each moment of the collective existence we literally create ourselves, as well as our world, anew. 

Positioned as observers, we eternally create reality from a well of infinite possibility. The wave of infinite possibility becomes a point as soon as we observe its presence. The act of observation initiates the physical illusion we call reality. Our reality does not exist 'out there' it exists from 'within'.

With an eye toward defining our reality, if a philosopher were to sit down with a physicist over a cup of coffee, there is only one logical conclusion upon which they would arrive. Each of us exists within a 'reality framework' of our own creation. Don Juan Matus refers to this illusion of physicality as "controlled folly". I like don Juan's description as it mixes the nagual and tonal planes together. 

Undoubtedly, a logical argument can be made to assure us, all manifest reality is a holographic image of God experiencing the beingness of God. From the perspective of the physicist, who observes quantum entanglement of the atom suggests all matter must be a singularity. The philosopher, spiritualist, or shaman will agree all matter is singular in nature. 

Nothing is separate, we are all one being experiencing consciousness. 

Therefore, when a philosopher and scientist both reach for unity, they tackle the subject from different angles. Unfortunately, both perspectives are rather sublime, as a result, the average human is still unable to guide their life under the aegis offered by these valuable insights 

I am you, you are me, we only appear separate from each other. The truth might very well be, we are one. The distinction we draw from this appraisal of self teaches us, God cannot be separate from the self. God must represent our true identity. This knowledge leads us to consider how God did not create the universe.

God became the universe!

WOW!

This esoteric conceptualization of GodSelf reality is so hard to fully comprehend, yet invaluable for those who wish to advance their spiritual truth beyond muddied waters of religion. Irrespective of spiritual diamonds left on the beach, humanity would be terribly offended by the mere suggestion our true identity is GodSelf in nature. 

Blasphemy, for anyone conceited enough to even suggest we mortal humans create the universe from nothingness. Insanity, for anyone to believe we are immortal Gods existing in a playground of our own creation. Some believe heretics, like me, need be crushed. Our philosophical, scientific and spiritual voices forever silenced. 

Yet, I ask myself. "What is there to fear?" 

Other folks, looking at their world through a wider lens, might comprehend the concept of a holographic world. However wide we choose to open our eyes, everyone will find it difficult to identify themselves as the eternal Gods they, quite likely, are. Very few people find it possible to confidently stand against the worldview of the creator God. 

Who, other than scientists, see time and space as an illusion? 

Who among us could imagine reality is an eternal, self manifest, experience?

Even if one were to accept the logic of this philosophy, the ability to carry the message in the heart is nigh on impossible. The reason we cannot internalise the truth of GodSelf beingness is that our five senses speak of an entirely different reality than the one painted within this argument. 

You and I appear as separate beings. Surely, we must live in the physical world. Impossible to even imagine we are the creators of this world. Absolutely insane to ideate the self as an eternal GodSelf being. 

The filter of EgoSelf absolutely prohibits the Godself from shining.

Unfortunately, if we are to have any prayer of believing all manifest reality is perfect, we must be able to infuse our heart with the message of unity consciousness. When our hearts 'see' truth, we are then able to stand firm against the vast wealth of EgoSelf information. Information, I might add, eternally convinces humanity we are separate from our brethren, separate from the playground we inhabit.

Taking a giant leap to mentally believe in the truth of unity consciousness will not fully expose the GodSelf. The mind thinks, whilst the heart knows. Therefore, when we believe only with the mind we discover doubt inevitably will erode the strength of our philosophical steel. 

The heart, acts upon our philosophy like the heat of a forge, tempering the steel of our convictions. Philosophy, embraced by the heart, allows us to cut away at illusion, rebuff the naysayer within. 

Philosophical and scientific blades tempered by the heart will always hold their GodSelf edge. 

Why has this knowledge not changed the world?

Embracing the knowledge of GodSelf, how might your world change? 

What implications does unity consciousness offer those of us who want to 'see' perfection?   

  
From my perspective, unity consciousness is a very easy concept to grasp. However, I do appreciate I have been blessed by countless beautiful points of literary reference. The oldest reference to unity consciousness I discovered when reading Eastern philosophy in the form of The Vedas. Across all religious texts, there are references tied to the theology of singularity. However, when Jesus suggested 'I am that' or 'we are all the sons of God' the concept is presented from a clouded version of a God creating the universe, not a God becoming consciousness. Great shaman, like don Juan, present unity consciousness with their own beautiful flavour. Additionally, almost all first nations peoples believe in the ultimate unified connection of humanity with nature and the stars. Countless philosophers, too many to mention, also point toward unity consciousness as the core of their entire belief structure. 

In the light of such esteemed knowledge, how could one refute a consensus sourced from science, spirituality, religion, and philosophy, all of which spans 3,200 years? 

Over then again the same message prevailed, corroborations which left me absolutely humbled by the impression of continuity. Of course, I believed in unity consciousness. 

Who could be so arrogant to deny a message repeatedly trumpeted throughout the globe over eons of time?

Yet, the difference between endorsing a concept with the mind juxtaposed to embracing it with the heart is akin to a preschooler attending a lecture in quantum physics. Luckily for me, I took hold of the urging of don Juan who pushed his student, Castaneda, toward shamanism. For, in the cocoon of a shamanistic ritual I was far enough removed from the EgoSelf to allow for a blissful experience of unity consciousness.

Although the tonic of truth is significantly more powerful when consumed by the heart, in no way is the impact of this knowledge insignificant for those who mentally capture the truth of unity. Rest assured, your reality will greatly change the moment you imagine yourself as a GodSelf being who eternally creates reality in the NOW moment.

Loving your brethren, releasing judgment, letting go of the good versus bad paradigm, joyful living, are just some of the many benefits one will acquire through the GodSelf filter of unity. Contrary to the way we presently allow fear to limit our commune with life, understanding reality as a unified experience enables us to guide our choices with love as the prime basis for living free from fear and dis-ease. 

Although many of the core fear paradigms like death, insufficiency, hate, want, sickness, judgment, and envy are not entirely dispelled, they are significantly easier to manage when immersed in the loving sense of unification. Slowly we grasp the understanding of life; we each are divine creators. In 'seeing' the light we move away from the tendency to cast blame, the impulse to get even, or the sense we must continually hold strong to our opinions, beliefs, and desires. 

Equally valuable is the chance for us to advance a philosophy where GodSelf truth is at the core. Holding the vision of GodSelf, our natural tendency will be to articulate a lifestyle honouring our newly found belief structure. We look for ways to sequester ourselves from the old fear-based habits which we know no longer support our new sense of self. Finally, we come to grasp how the world experienced through the filter of EgoSelf is, by definition, illusory. Standing in the false world we once believed was real, we are then inclined to ferret out the manifest thoughts, feelings, and actions which have, until now, kept us from unconditionally loving the self as well as all our brethren. 

Essentially, embracing unity consciousness from the mind or heart will result in the hourglass being turned right side up. Slowly, our sense of what is real will begin to take a new form. The discovery of a new self will reveal a vibrant truth whilst, at the same time, dispelling the effects of the EgoSelf lie we once held as truth. How massive an understatement it is to suggest your world will change when eradicating EgoSelf illusion in favour of GodSelf living. Like Alice in Wonderland, we will dust off the dirt as we make ourselves ready for an entirely new perspective. Your new life will be so wildly opposed to the reality of friends and family you will find yourself wondering. 

How is it possible, until now, I have been denied this beautiful truth?

Sooner or later, a question will pique your sensibilities. If all is GodSelf, then is it not logical to assume all manifest reality must be absolutely perfect?

There is the rub, the thief, the murderer, the planet falling apart at the seams, the lonely braggart, the rapist, all global chaos now considered exquisitely awesome manifestations of a GodSelf singularity. Reaching this juncture, you will discover the only logical conclusion will be for you to choose a path that loves, deifies, and honours all manifest reality. Everything we once deemed as bad we now 'see' is dualism dancing with itself in perfect harmony. We see how each step from black or white shoes is absolutely divine. 

The scales of justice are released, nothing is deemed good nor bad, right nor wrong. Everything is worthy of love, respect, honour. All is cherished, accepted, loved, embraced. Forgiveness has no meaning for the person who sees all manifest reality as an eternal dance of GodSelf energy. This does not mean we will choose to murder, rape or steal from our brethren, nor do we haphazardly deface our planet. Quite the opposite, the GodSelf will respect, love, then accept all we experience. 

 

Knowing the self as a GodSelf being, you will desire to empower all your brethren as well all their actions, within the framework of GodSelf light. In-kind, you will likely see how every moment of judgment must logically represent a step away from the truth. 

My philosophical and spiritual hero, don Juan, sums up best with his rendition of the impeccable spiritual warrior seeing' the nagual. From my humble vantage point, being impeccable simply means choosing love over fear. We are GodSelf, we are love. Under the cloak of unity consciousness, we take shelter from the illusions of EgoSelf. In doing so, we find love is all there is. By extension, all sense of non-perfection must be an illusion. 

What do you think, are you starting to 'see' the possibility all beings, all events, all moments, are perfect?
