Diamonds and DarkStars....

Namaste brethren, the beauty of blogging is that we can openly share thoughts, feelings and emotions which allow us fresh perspectives needed to enrich our personal and collective reality. Defining, then defending, personal philosophical positions affords opportunity to crystallise in our hearts what we consider truth. Truth however is a slippery sort. Like a chameleon, it changes to mirror it's environment. One just need speak with a potential suicide bomber to see how, perspective, has a funny way of making one man's truth another man's lie. On a subtler level, the uniqueness of our personal lens allows us to share a common truth whilst finding discord by drawing significantly differing conclusions. On such occasions, one may find no flaw in an apposing argument, yet, still be left feeling uneasy. The intelligent person will not take offence, instead, they will seek ways to rediscover common ground. This blog represents one such tale with my brother DarkStar.

Maybe it's all about finding the perfect aspect. Diamonds have many aspects, the professional will be asked to choose, with great consideration and precision, which facets to highlight, and which to leave uncut. The result of such efforts, will either encourage, or dissuade, elucidation. Clarity, is what has, and always will, be called for.

Truth, is the diamond, we are the sculptors, the world will see the light we manufacture.

Defining the correct cut and polish, invites others to gasp in awe at divine beauty. Miss the mark, even a bit, and a milky haze of confusion follows. Stepping out of this metaphor of clarity, allow me to illustrate by example.

When considering the holographic nature of our reality we can, with the aid of quantum physics, utilise the non locality of the electron to scientifically prove that time, space and separation are illusions. This is not new science, in the mid sixties advances in equipment allowed physicists to measure electron travel in the hundred billionth of a second, this development led to experiments which proved non locality. Delving deeper into the nature of reality with string and super string theory, many physicists began defining reality as a hologram. Over the last couple decades Big TOE theories which incorporate the holographic model are becoming much more accepted by scientific pioneers worldwide. Sadly to say, universities and affiliated peer groups globally repel such advanced scientific concepts, I think because they know the holographic universe comes too close to the ultimate spiritual truth of unity consciousness.

"Our reality is a holographic expression."

Let us use the paraphrased statement above as an agreed truth. From this one diamond of truth we can now cut and polish a couple of divergent facets.

One person could surmise; my reality is expressed as a hologram, therefore, my existence is logically more fake than real. Living within the confines of a manufactured lie, I imagine my reality is in fact real, but, what is real? I ask myself this; if the illusion of time, space and the physical world around me ceased to be the filter of my reality experience, how then would I define my reality? Logically, I must conclude there would be "NO THING material." Without time and space as a reference an experiential abyss would prevail. In the quantum world of limitless potentiality, consciousness allows me to experience but there can be "no God per se" as there is "NO THING." "This experience as HUMANITY has NO PURPOSE, its all a lie and we don't exist." "It's all a sham to think it is real in order to control us." "This experience, that so many seem to value, is FAKE and it's like living a life completely in a HOLO-DECK Program on Star Trek Voyager."




Another person could discern a completely different position; my reality is expressed as a hologram, therefore, my existence is logically more fake than real. Living within the confines of a manufactured lie, I imagine my reality is in fact real, but, what is real? I ask myself this; if the illusion of time, space and the physical world around me ceased to be the filter of my reality experience, how then would I define my reality? Logically, I must conclude there would be NO THING material. Without time and space as a reference an experiential abyss would prevail. It is the gift of illusion which allows me to discover the richness of experience. I must conclude the true state of reality is nothingness, however, consciousness allows me to experience. Consciousness must originate from a given source, there is no need for a label, however many choose to call source, God. It appears to me, God, in a state of nothingness, chose to experience. I see now the universe, which I once thought was material, does not exist except within the confines of consciousness. The nature of a hologram is such that the tiniest of fragments contains the entirety of information, this explains the parable of the mustard seed. If time and space do not exist then I must surmise consciousness is the sum total of reality. If I accept that consciousness is reality, then, I must also comprehend that separation is an illusion, all is ONE. If all is ONE, then I am you, in fact there is truly nothing that I am not. Not only is there a God, but I am that eternal being. There appears to be a limitless voice to reality. This plane of experience is, in my mind(excuse the pun), most amazing. I have obviously chosen to enter this reality totally blinded by illusion, a babe in every sense. Beyond great odds, I have discovered a sense of my true identity, what could be more beautiful. I have created this holographic experience called humanity, it is my playground. I was never born, I will never die, forever will I play hide and seek. A metaphor to consider may be the many eddies in the ocean. God is the Ocean and we are like eddies in the Ocean, both of the one but distinctly separate at the same time. I also love the metaphor of light through a prism, whereas the prism creates the illusion of separation which belies the true singularity of source.

To be fair, my brother DarkStar has not created his argument as of yet. Nor has he been given a chance to even comment on the hodge podge of quotes and filled in blather hastily constructed as his position by me. Knowing my brother as I do, I can assure you he will do so forthwith, or at his earliest convenience.

Until then, I leave you all with the same challenge I know will be taken up by my brother DarkStar.

1./ What does the holographic universe mean to you?

2./ How does it fit your paradigm of reality?

3./ If you had to define, cut, and polish your own facet from this scientific diamond, what pearls of wisdom would you draw from knowing you and your universe is really a hologram.

To gain knowledge we start by asking questions. In our search for answers we must seek many different sources while invoking the courage to always listen with an open mind. The path of true enlightenment can only be found by applying simple lessons learned from children, whereas, the mind must remain unbridled, free, open, inquisitive, joyful, playful and relentless. Such a soul sees truth as a non static dancing pixie always at the ready to display magic. I think the magic in this topic is plentiful. Magic also shows it's face in the form of irony. I find it deliciously appealing that quantum physics allows us define our reality as nothingness and as God at the same time.

In Lak' ech, dear brethren, if reality is a hologram then you are God...

Little Mind /// Big World...

Namaste, dear brethren; do you ever feel intellectually challenged? Is your mind the metaphorical equivalent of that skinny boy on the beach? Have you ever asked why you are so bloody apathetic about mental callisthenics?

Last week, struck by a moment of meditative clarity, I coldly stared into some of the many dark recesses of personal ignorance. When considering the breadth of my physical or mental limitations, a naked feeling bubbles to the surface; as if I am running out to the store wearing only socks and shoes. Moving past the discomfort of limitation, my mind chose to seek out the many habitual excuses used to appease the itch; too much work, not enough free time. Yada yada yada, you know the old chestnut, you've heard it a million times, it always starts with

"if only..."

Funny, how the ego drags the mind anywhere but front row and centre. Little distraction games play out in our heads, cleverly keeping the truth hidden from casual seekers like myself. Excuses aside, there still remains my obvious diminishing dedication to the search for truth. These pestering thoughts, like pine needles in my brain, prodded me to participate. Wake up, shithead! I have coasted for too long, it's time to expand again, there is a sign ahead.

I intended to write a lengthy blog on the many ways (very many) the elite control structure enslaves our minds. The blog was to include an analysis of how the corporate elite co-opted governments, education and mass media globally. I had hoped to expose the dedicated efforts of an elite few, who, over the last two hundred years, have sculpted the ignorance we see in humanity today. I was going to ask you to consider with me examples of how the individual and collective have become trapped in illusion, How they have become ensnared by lies and how they are left completely unaware of who are their oppressors. 

Alas, I decided there does exist a wealth of such information at your internet fingertips and on the videos in my blog below. Without elaborating on the gory details, I do still ask you to make note of the many challenges deliberately woven into society with the sole purpose of limiting your mental acumen. The resulting damage caused by this tyranny allowed me to ponder, in the sanctity of silence, my ignorance. It is time to cast aside my pillow and blanket and then toss fresh water in my face. Ahead, in the distance, I see a sign.

Empty this cup I presently hold and take joy in the day when it refills. If knowledge and truth are the only paths to love, peace and compassion, why do I sit idly by? The answer, I believe, is digestion. Dinner may be digested in hours, but an idea, or a good book, could take months to digest. Food and information have much in common, a few similarities might include providing nourishment, requiring digestion and satisfying hunger. People dedicate most of their free time consumed by silly distractions; sports, T.V. video games, the list is endless and becoming more abundantly mundane by the decade. 

Why have so many people forsaken the wealth of beautiful literature? Can they not see how a good book can expand and free their minds? What role does society play in training the masses to disregard self-learning? When our last school year has ended, have we somehow learned enough? I cannot imagine how shallow and minuscule my world would be without books. Yet, most people do not include reading in their lives. Awakening the giant within is a responsibility we owe to ourselves, our family, friends and foes alike. There, just ahead is the sign I have been looking for >>>>> SCRIBD!!! <<<<<

www.scribd.com

Landing on my lap not long ago was a little gift, well not so little really. SCRIBD is a website hosting an untold volume of free books. The library is so comprehensive that most of everything I have looked for I have found. I have never looked up fiction, but I can tell you their list of spiritual and scientific titles is outstanding. From the complete Nag Hammadi scrolls detailing Gnostic truth dating back over 3,000 years to great philosophers like Plato, Socrates and Marcus Aurelius. Current work from some of the most advanced scientists and philosophers today, people like Talbot, Watts and Wilber to name a few. The list of great FREE reads is truly endless, I can't tell you how exciting this revelation is for me and I truly hope it represents for you the same.

I have a small home library of perhaps a few hundred books. Six big bookshelves are chock full and whatever is scattered around the house that has not yet found a permanent home. I can still remember my back aching from the last time I moved. Even though I used professionals, it was quite a task sorting and unpacking it all. I can't imagine how much money I have spent on books, just last Christmas I think I spent over $ 300. With SCRIBD, the list of purchases will greatly diminish, and so will the storage. SCRIBD will not replace or even diminish my home library; I can't imagine getting rid of what books I presently own. I love the feel of a book in my hand. Books, when held, represent a tangible reminder of feeding one's mind, much like a spoon in hand represents a physical link to a healthy body.

Following someone's thoughts, feelings and emotions in a story is tremendously beautiful, more the case if they have a panache for painting reality. When books draw to a close, with summations elucidating truth, it's like a special dessert after an amazing meal. First, an appropriate pause is required, minutes, hours or days, depending on the depth of content in hand. Secondly, the mood needs to be established, a hot steamy coffee and golden silence. Finally, with everything just right, I follow the author to the edge of what they know. Oooooh how exhilarating, wonderful and honoured it makes me feel.

Our world and this experience we call life is a fantastic adventure. Books, their smell, feel and vivre will never be completely lost to humanity. However, they are becoming redundant in the I.T. age. Just ask a librarian, if you can find such a unicorn as a professional librarian. Ask a publisher, if their doors have not closed. Even newspapers are struggling to find readership in a world fast becoming virtual. I suggest that if someone has a hard time falling in love with reading, they just have not picked up the right book. What we ingest plays a great part in our health. Our mental health is a direct function of our ability to consume quality food as well as healthy information. We must all realise the relationship between truth and love, whereas, love is a function of truth. Consume healthy information and love will find you.

In addition to books, there are many fantastic YouTube videos which assist in the gathering of knowledge at a pace more 21st century. Countless websites and search engines allow us to gather knowledge like never before. We have the capacity now to break free of the chains of ignorance which bind us all. We can unite for a common cause in preparing a world for our children free of deception, tyranny, oppression and mental enslavement. It is up to us, I hope you all use SCRIBD to broaden your worlds. Free is a fantastic price no need to give any personal info or e-mail to use it; just type in the title, click on the book and start reading.

In Lak' ech, brethren, freedom starts with you!!!

The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

Don Miquel Ruiz uses a 10 minute story to effectively translates the simplicity of living and loving. Although I have watched this video many times, it always brings tears to my eyes. I hope you all enjoy this beautiful message and share it with those you love. Apparently Blogger does not want you to have a link so you will have to copy and paste to view. Well worth the effort, enjoy the show.

9 11 Down the doctor's rabbit hole.

Namaste fellow brethren I have been thinking of taking the time once a week to highlight a video which I feel offers compelling subject matter well worth your consideration. I hope that you may determine (especially those of you who watch T.V.) there is value in adding a little informative self programming via an in depth investigation into the manifest reality of our surroundings. In an effort to broaden our collective horizons, it is my wish that we may discuss the subject matter presented weekly in the videos. Please indicate if you feel this concept would represent a worthy expenditure of your valuable time. Regarding the first subject I invite you to enjoy and alternate view of 911 courtesy of Dr. Judy Wood; noted physicist and structural engineer. The format is a radio interview with George Noory of Coast to Coast Am. The audio is augmented with a steady video feed making it a very interesting perspective of the 911 event. I look forward to hearing what you all think, click the link and enjoy the video.

Karma: a tale of soft deceit...

Karma, what does it mean to you? Do you believe in Karma? The origins of Karma hail from the Sanskrit word " Kri " which means to do. Kri was a power by which individuals and collectives could influence the Gods, nature, weather, harvests and enemies. Through the right intent and rituals performed righteously thus by actions determine one's destiny. 

Immortalized in the Buddhist Vedas the tradition of Karma was stamped on the Indian race. In Vedanta texts Volume I: Samhitas Volume II: Brahmanas and Aranyakas Volume III: Upanishads Volume IV: Vedangas The God Karma was illuminated by the vengeful elephant of reciprocity. In later dates, the Arabic word Karam was adopted to define the grace of God as Karma. As Karma became a global staple it was somewhat tainted by defeatist western constructs of fate. This created helplessness and disempowerment from the true nature of GodSelf. One constant Karmic thread woven through the ages from 1,500 BCE to the present is the carrot and stick motif. 

The need in this life to act in "righteousness" or "goodness" for the benefit of rewards in the next life. I perceive concepts of Karma as having created subtle echoes from which more damaging tenets like heaven and hell are derived. If we are prepared to accept the view of a God separate from self, sitting in judgement handing out Karma, then we enslave our true GodSelf spirit. Great books lead the faithful; the Bible, the Koran, the Vedantas, the Gita, each offer wisdom, beauty and truth. However, each great work adopts the philosophy of reward and punishment as a function of control used to enslave devotees under the dominion and servitude of theology. Heaven and hell bend the will of the Christian. Mohammad, in the words of the Koran, demands servitude and abeyance. The reward is great riches for the "good" Christian and Muslim in the afterlife. 

Lord Krishna insists on proper living as he instructs the young Arjuna about the fruit which awaits his next life. The Vedantas offer very definitive instructions to the Hindu follower. The man of faith and goodness will be rewarded with a superior next life. The fact remains, every religion needs followers. The carrot ushers in the sheep and the stick keeps the flock united. Following are just a few of the issues I have with Karma; separation from oneness, separation from free will, the establishment of judgement right and wrong/good and bad, the disempowerment of GodSelf and God as a judge. Separation from oneness: If you trust in the ONE, then you must accept all manifest and unmanifest as God realised perfection. Under the blanket of Oneness, we see divinity in every expression. 

When we envision perfection in every conscious moment there is no need to reward the good and cast down the bad. All is God, all is good. Separation from free will: This can never lead to truth. Instead of conforming to demands of scripture, we are better served following the will of our soul. Each soul is here to choose, from the plenum, a reality which will further the evolutionary path of the ONE. All choice is God taking yet another step. Right and wrong/good and bad: We must see the illusion of separation in duality if we are ever to see the ultimate truth. When we enslave ourselves to concepts like Heaven, Hell and Karma we create a world of judgement. From the perspective of the ONE, there can be no good or bad. There is only Godliness, which in its essence is love and perfection. If you search your heart and find anything other than love. 

You must then ask yourself, why does illusion persist?

Concepts of Karma dis empower the GodSelf: This is a most tragic loss. I am God, all choice I make is perfect. There is nothing I could do which is not Godly. Give this gift of GodSelf truth to everyone and every moment. This gift is called unconditional love, it is your true nature. God as judge: the one who determines your next life or afterlife experience. From the bowels of Karma sit judgement in the form of reward or retribution. How can this make any sense to the one who seeks the truth? Reward and punishment can only be functions of a God separate from the self. God did not make the universe, God became the universe. 

All creation is God, nothing cowers in abeyance. You cannot covet future gains by actions of social fidelity. You are God, choose that which you desire. Don't wait for future rewards, choose to own all rewards now, in this life. We will never find truth in conforming for the benefit of the reward. Karma is a sexy posit as it is found waving its banner from high ground. For most people, it makes sense to believe that good behaviour will be rewarded and bad behaviour will reap just torment. This is an illusion, the seeker of truth will eliminate concepts of bad and good. See every moment through a lens of unconditional love and acceptance. ''

See God in every expression and you will find yourself on the path to truth, freedom and enlightenment. Know in your heart the truth of In Lak' ech: The assailant and victim are one being, I am another you. Namaste, I see God in you. Do you see God in others? In Lak' ech, dearest brethren prosper in truth live in love...
