Light and Dark

 Light is inseparable from the Dark. Strength inseparable from weakness. Good inseparable from bad. Pleasure inseparable from pain. We see these things as divided in our minds when in reality they are not. 

The mind divides everything into categories in order to understand. It never fully understand what it originally puts into categories yet in part deeply believes it does, fooling itself. It forgets it originally separated things as so to understand, because it did not understand. It forgot it never knew in the beginning. It has to belief in things so it can operate, even when these things aren't real. We depend so exclusively on these beliefs we forget that they are incomplete ideas. 

If Light and Dark are not separate, then both are needed to awaken more deeply. Both are apart of a greater truth, both equally important. The mind needs to be dropped so this discovery can occur. 

Within all our negativity lies all goodness and vice versa. In not seeing we see and in not feeling we feel. It is in the Light and in the Dark. Both are good, both are evil. 

In truth these categories and dualities do not exist outside of the mind. As long as the mind seeks to understand, seeks to dominate it's environment, seeks to grow, it will remain in the shadow it casts from it's own seeking and doing. This is the mind's prerogative, so it never can fully understand the world it finds itself in. This is why it must be dropped altogether. The good and evil the mind perceives do not really exist. 

As we step outside of the mind, the Light and the Dark begin to blend together, a Reality behind apparent dualities awakening in our consciousness. There is Light and there is Dark, but they are apart of the same fabric. They both teach us of the inner nature of things by pointing to it in different ways. It is there contrast and their dynamic which reveal the truth. We must go deeper than the mentality, and to do this, the cloak of the mentality must be shed and the soul must take flight into a new world.

We fail to fully comprehend the degree to which we as conditioned selves remain in general wholly within our own minds. We connect with the world and feel it, but always through the filter of our conditioned consciousness. The result is the general experience that we experience the world from within ourself and are largely separate from it. We fail to see that our perception of a concrete world and our concrete self is merely a projection of our own conditioned consciousness. Our perception and perceptions are constructed mentally. We take them for reality, even when we constantly have to adjust them as we learn time and again that our understanding was deeply flawed. This hallucination is so accepted and depended upon in the world at large that there is no tangible conception of the possibility of anything else. 

We fail to see that although our bodies dwell in the material universe, we largely dwell in a mentally constructed reality. It is a world of ideas that are real in there own right, but are utterly incomplete and fragmented by nature, they cannot be made whole. For the mind to be made whole it must die, and then it no longer is the mind and the self is no longer the mental self. 

It is this death we fear, not our physical one. Our conditioned self, our ego, fear its own death. It cannot see beyond itself because of the limitations of it's own nature. It doesn't think that life can go on without it, beyond or before it. The life within that mind can and does and will. The fact is that life is occurring in a deeper and more substantial way right now in every corner of the Universe, in every living body and being and thing. The breath of life that is the soul exists beyond the mind and is that which informs all the life of the mind, and the life of the body. It breathes life, animation into matter itself. It does this, and, is all of these things. It is all the life of the soul. From this vantage point. There is no matter, and there is no mentality. There is only the interplay of the subtle energies of the Universe all moving at the direction of the feeling of the soul. It operates omnisciently and is omnipresent. 

This is a Universe stripped of the mask of the conditioned self, the mental life. It's the life we had before we were born, and the life we will have after we die, either physically, or mentally while we still are alive. It is unfortunate that the life of the soul is so foreign to most human beings. We are familiar with it in many ways, but we don't really know what it is like to not have a mind. We are so utterly consumed with our selves, even the really nice people. This is fine, there is just a lot we don't understand because of the hard limitations of our mental reality. A lot we don't understand, and a lot we suffer because of this. 

In the world of the soul, every thing blends into every other thing. They are not divided, and not quite yet One. Time is very different. It does not run linearly, but rather is a place where all points in time can touch all other points in time, and do. It is beyond the world we know, yet this is only true when we believe we are alive in our hellish mortal hallucination while we are incarnated on Earth in the material plane of the Universe. To the world of the soul and beyond, the Earth is apart of this greater spiritual universe, not at all separate from it. 

When we wake up on Earth, we step into the world of the soul. We go beyond Death by fully embracing it and find a greater life. The powers we know as life and death are apart of a much greater process, a much greater life than we can see with our mortal eyes. How could they really be divided? How can physical or mental life be something separate from the material world? We live in a world where Heaven has died and the material world is all anyone has. My people came from a world where Heaven was a place divided from the Earth, and you never could really get there. But before this, the Sky was not separate from the Soil and the Earth was One and Whole. We were not divided from the land and we did not hate the sky. We knew we had souls and we knew this life was one among many. We would come again, as would dear friends and family members. 

The Darkness of the Earth is our Teacher. It's trials help us to discover the inner Light of a spiritual heaven. The Hand of God hides in the Darkness as it shows itself in the Light. Within ourself, we can find comfort in both. We can learn from the darkness of our own mind, our own thoughts. We can rest there. We can discover how things are born in the darkness. How all comes from the darkness, must come from it, that even our own life arises out of it. By allowing the darkness to be, we give space for things to be born, we also give space for things to die. For as things pass, they fall into the power of the Darkness and are dissolved. The Darkness is the potential for all things to be, for all things to come. The light of the mind reveals this, it opens up all doors of thought, which become the doors we walk through in our lives. Yet if we keep to it too fiercely, it burns us, and casts us down. We must measure ourselves from it and take as much as we can, it will reveal itself more in time. The battle between Light and Dark creates the world, for the tension between the two is the power that holds all things together. This tension sings the song of life into the world and creates the dance of ages. It creates the play and drama of God's creation. 

The power and nature of God is apparent in both, and from seeing this nature in both we step beyond the world of opposites, of mind, into the spirit world. This is both a world of The Light and a world of The Darkness. The two being the same. Both the Light and the Darkness beyond the world of mortal cognition. As the conventional understanding of these terms falls way, the problem of Light being Dark, and Dark being Light disappears. The reality of Soul and Spirit dominates. 

This Light and this Dark are infinite forces. They are Infinity. Infinity does exist. It is more real than a potato. You're understanding of a potato does not exist. A potato really is Infinity. What is finite does not exist. What is finite does not exist.

This statement summarizes the whole of what is wrong with the perception of the conditioned mind. It is finite, limited, reality is actually Infinite. There is in fact nothing limited anywhere in the Universe. What is finite does not exist. What is limited, does not exist. This means everything is Infinite. It means everything is perfect and flawless. The ideal is real. Not something forever outside of our ability to experience or create, but the very ground of our being, the very earth or concrete we walk on. We don't have to get there, we are there. 

The Universe is magical, magic is the force that makes everything work. It is not mundane, it is marvelous. Magic-iMage-the contrast of Light and Dark- The entirety of the play of Creation-the power life uses to manipulate or alter its environment. There are living forces animating everything and there is non-physical universe occurring in parallel and in conjunction with the material universe we inhabit. Subtle and spiritual forces affect everything in the universe. Our thoughts affect everything in our lives. We determine our reality by the attention of our consciousness, by the contend of our thought and mind. When we break apart what is finite within our consciousness, we discover the threads of Infinity. By these we can pull apart our own fragmented shell of a separate self and find our own infinite body within. Beneath the facade of the finite, like the woven mantle of Infinity. 

Die to the dream, die to the fantasy, awaken to your very own Immortal Soul.   

Your Privilege

Nature endows all life with a right to the land it inhabits. A right to use it as it will, even at the detriment of other life. This belongs to us, woven amid other Divine thoughts that bind our soul, because Nature wishes us us to make our own way. Nature gives us the power of self determination and creativity  because we deserve it as sons and daughters of the Divine. 

Within each living being burns secretly a Divine Spark of unmatched Virtue, Noblitity, and Worth. These sparks, clothed with many bodies, go out into Nature to discover their true identity and source. God also actively expresses its own nature in this undending exodus of Divine Light. 

Without the power of self-determination the depths of our inner nature remain unavailable to us. Growth eludes us, and with it the possibility of enlightenment and right knowledge. As children of the Divine Nature offers us a place to grow. Even in its most twisted environs, the Divine Spark burns brightly and the Comforting Power of Nature quietly nurses its inhabitants. 

The epic contrast of Light and Dark within Nature and her varied children depends upon their ability to go absuletely anywhere they desire. Our privilege and our right give the Universe its color, fully expressing the Nature of our Infinite Father-Mother-Source.

The deeper we go into the Universe and within ourselves the more we reflect the original nature of our Creator. More than a warring diversity of disparate parts, we exhibit a cohesiveness among our differences, a thoughtfulness and sensitivity, and an intuition of a much greater Unity. Love dominates through gentleness and our identity expands far beyond where we began. 

The power belongs to us and with it our right to this land we inhabit. We may destroy, create, sustain and shape as we will. The land returns what it receives and by this we learn if we wish to continue in our ways. If we want peace, give peace to the land. If we want war, give war to the land. 

Thought the desire to do Good eventually dominates in living souls, this path continues to perpetuate the delusion of the separate self. The upward current of Goodness moves in tandem with the downward current of Evil. They both equally maintain the illusory play of Creation. Interestingly, our consciousness goes beyond this veil and we find our character within Creation ultimately unsatisfying. 

Unsatisfied we drop the mask of our persona, our ego, to cross the threshold into the land of Spirit. 

Happy Halloween

 The soul builds its power alternating between the poles of strength and mercy. Through deep feeling it sifts through the content of its own depths to generate its vision for self realization. By this self-actualizing power it eventually merges with the Divine becoming One with all the Universe. In doing so it releases all of its stored power, manifesting all of its inner nature. The inner power of a seed contains the whole of an ancient tree with roots buried deep in the Earth and its branches extending far out into the Sky. 

This potential within us, within our soul, when actualized, when drawn out and meshed together through the masterful alchemy of yogic circle-seeking activity, perfects our will and our being so that we succeed in our life's path: our destiny. This inner power of latent soul-awareness contains all that we need to succeed. Misguided, seeking power elsewhere, we undoubtedly fail, time and again. The spring of Eternal Life flows within us, within all things, and presents itself to us when we learn how to look within. 

Our spirit seeks the deepest Harmony with all existence, with Nature from its Heavenly heights, to its Earthly roots. The same nature flows within what we call Evil and what we call Good. To find the deepest Peace, the spiritual energies within our inner soul reservoirs must flow out completely, released from the prison of false dichotomies in the human mind. The soul needs to escape from both animalistic hedonism and divorced spiritual puritanism in a natural expression that brings both the Heavens and the Terranic together. The soul easily navigates this new Spiritualized Earth or Grounded Sky finding the same common nature among all things, a nature neither good nor evil, but soulful and true. Until the mind overcomes its search for Good and its exile of Evil, the soul shall remain in the bondage of that mind. A soul must go beyond a world of ideas to fully spread its wings and live. 

The soul lives in a spiritual or spiritualized Universe. Not a Universe divorced from the horror of Darkness, but one that belongs to the horror and the beauty of both Light and Dark. It saddens me how far away this truth lies from our thoroughly lost and distracted society. Yes, we have discovered much, in both mind and feeling, while we actively experience little of this land beyond the dry crust of conceptual thinking and living. In many ways, as we move forward into more liberated thinking and more advanced technology we lose the activated potency of the subtle psychic and higher spiritual dimensions of existence. As we collectively merge in a single planetary society much of our attention shifts towards the material and material mindedness. While no general use of the soul in the recent past (last several thousand years) led to the widespread liberation of many people, it seems like today our society is much more spiritually and psychically dead. The feelings informing these generalizations are so difficult to pin down and accurately describe that I hesitate to write anything about them. It seems that generally our range of experience now only includes a deadened flatland of the conceptual mind. Whereas in the past we knew less, and less about what we knew. we perhaps felt more, or felt more fully because our minds had not yet suffocated our spirit with so many dead ideas. 

Today in many ways we feel much more and much more deeply than past generations, but might find ourselves crippled (and our society) by the psychic weight of a common reality divorced from both body and soul, entombed in the gray and endless shithole thinking of the conceptual mind.

Our personality dies in this miasma of anxiety and speculation. Yet it surrounds us, as does rampant materialism. In our minds, our feelings, our homes, our neighborhoods, our relationships, our society, and our civilization this psychic weight oppresses us. I realize now, much of this deadened tissue comes from upward paralysis: the inability of our species to grow up and shed the conventions of the last age. So much creativity remains stifled. The thought we need to rebuild sits grounded by the active powers of that which no longer serves us. Interestingly if we call this general growth of human civilization a biological occurrence, we currently exist in a typical state of decay quite common to a natural cycle of life. Decay follows activity and regeneration or metamorphosis follows decay or paralysis/dormancy. In this frame, we now experience a beautiful stage of decay between two different points of activity. The exhaustion of one and the simultaneous blossoming of the dormant potential of another. From the outside it looks hideous, from within, marvelous. 

The psychic death our civilization currently experiences opens many doors to new vistas, though largely leaves the conceptual mind in tact for most of society. It revitalizes this and grounds it as our society begins to blossom again. I hear the soul calling us to move even further ahead over the course of the next thousand years as more and more minds reach the gate of death between two worlds. Yet, part of this great death now involves a minority evolving past this lonely door, out of the realm of man, into the realm of Spirit. We listen at the gate and today set stones for the foundations of cities of the future. 

Our Crystal Tribes evolving outside of the general trend of our civilization in pockets of Divine Sunlight that knit together the deeps wounds of our collective psyche. 

Soulll

 The soul animates the Universe. It flows into all things giving them life. Standing behind the form, silently flowing into it. Most feel it much more than they understand it. Seeing it as mine, belonging to the ego, rather than simply soul. While soul individualizes in the manifest world, it all remains the same soul substance or form. Many unique individuals, but the same soul essence flowing through them, all being different reflections of the same spiritual light. 

When the conditioned mind falls away it reveals the life of the soul. It flows like a constant inhale into all life and a constant exhale from its hidden wellspring. It appears to contain both lifeforce and sentient feeling or awareness. These appear to me now as one indivisible form: the flowing waters of the soul. It seems that we experience the soul as feeling and as willpower.

 This makes the soul the creative force of life. Behind all apparent dictation of individual will, the feeling of soul informs all active creation. It flows according to a Universal Pattern, or cosmic structure and a Universal Law: karma. It operates within this pattern and law perfectly, for all Creation falls within it. When I look for a difference between this depiction of soul and the Word, Amen/Om I find none. The Word at least creates as much as this soul force I describe. 

As the soul flows into creation it endlessly feels. As it flows and feels, it lives. As a single entity it remains unconcerned with anything that transpires. It simply wishes to continue to flow, to continue to live and feel as a whole. 

Reaching out into the Ether

 The soul makes its way by reaching out further and further and reaching within itself deeper and deeper. It reaches out and into the ether to manifest the conditions it needs to grow. The weight of its own luminosity compels the ether to obey its will. The soul wishes to expand, to fully manifest its own infinite potential. With its ability to compound energy, the rate that it expands accelerates with the passing of time. 

The soul reaches for God, Eternal Life. It senses that it came from God and wishes to return to that Source. It senses that God contains the answer to all its problems. Above all it wishes to re-unite itself with the Source of its own being, fully merging back into Divinity. The soul also reaching out through the ether to God by the power of its true love and desire for God gains the succor of God that in like reaches back to the soul. 

The soul discovers the Divine through reaching deeper within itself and out into the ether as it seeks to expand its own nature. Eventually it recognizes clearly that its own infinite potential comes from the living manifestation of it: God. So its goal transforms from simply accelerating endlessly to returning to its Source. 

It sees that while it may utilize its great powers to fulfill its own wishes, these may distract it from its greater and greatest purpose of reaching and uniting with God. It senses that intuiting and following This will brings about that end. Intuitively following God's will and sincerely and lovingly reaching out to God accomplish the same task. Loving God wholeheartedly naturally and spontaneously brings us into harmony with His will. To follow Him we must naturally and spontaneously turn our heart to Him. In doing so we make God the object of our will. Continuing in such wisdom the object of our will manifests into our life. 

The soul needs to reach out into the ether and within itself to grow and operate in the Universe. When it makes God the secret desire behind all of its activity it optimizes its ability to succeed and moves most quickly towards its deepest desire: Unity with this loving God. 

Leaving body-mind behind

 Consciousness for most people participates wholly in the shared conceptual narrative of the body-mind experience. From a young age humans learn this conceptual narrative that defines human experience and comes to limit it extensively. Through this structure consciousness evolves and the narrative deepens and widens with increasing complexity and breadth. Yet it remains tied to conceptual imagery, a fragmented understanding with hard limitations. It also remains tied to the dominant experience of the self being an individual body-mind.

This individual believes in this narrative wholly. They fail to see that this identity comes from incomplete powers of processing and understanding. This creates an incomplete picture of the self. The fact that the self image continually evolves and continually contains deep ignorance and uncertainty remains almost entirely overlooked. So deeply imbedded in the mind, so central to all experience, the body-mind self concept at its core never receives conscious examination. Not at least until this concept begins to fracture. 

We fear the death of this body-mind concept, not the actual passing of the indwelling soul from the physical body. We fear the darkness of the terrain enfolding this concept rather than the actual terrain that the superconscious soul inhabits. The soul and its environment remain invisible to us because we fear to leave the habitation of our own mind. We fear to leave the comfort of the illusory security of our conceptually produced body-mind self image, the content of this mind.  Remaining rooted in the mental/conceptual and remaining dominated by the limitations of the perceiving faculties of this domain, the clear perception of the subtle superconscious reality immediately beyond this remains almost completely out of sight and for all intents and purposes, non-existent. This tragedy plagues any society that loses sight of the truly spiritual dimensions of the Universe. 

Truly, we die to our body-mind narrative, and awaken in the birth of our superconscious soul. The soul remains alive through the death of the physical body and the body-mind narrative. The physical body needn't die for the soul to awaken, but the body-mind narrative must. This death marks the transition and evolution of the mental, largely conceptually rooted identity, to the subtle superconscious intuitively driven body. The difficulty of this transition comes from the need in this transition to leave the life dominated and delineated by the mind, the mental, behind for a wholly new body, the subtle superconscious soul. Instead of moving to a new neighborhood, the individual must move to a new planet. The fish must evolve to leave the ocean to walk upon the Earth. Or the chick must make its first move to leave the comforts of the nest for the potential dangers of the open sky.  

These changes merely point to the difference between the mental/physical and subtle/spiritual. The actual difference between these two worlds adds up to being far greater than all of these examples combined. The reality of the soul transcends mental or conceptual understanding. It must be grasped through the intuition, through the psychic intuition. Where subtle energies replace the networks of patchwork images formed by incomplete concepts. Where experience and identity comingle with the living energetic field of ones environment. Where all souls lose the mask of persona and stand naked in the face of karma actively and acutely unfolding everywhere. 

Our whole collection of self-concepts hold no water. They stand precariously on the brink of Death. We cling to these masks out of desperation, not of any vital need. They serve us for a time and then the time comes to take them off and discard them. Let them fall to pieces and turn to dust. Let the wind carry away the dust leaving nothing behind. Nothing except the soft light of the superconscious soul. 

Psychic will

 How do I use my will to psychically affect change? -Through the feelings. Through feeling.

-You feel the Universe with your mind and apply your will to change it 

I would like to apply the spiritual principle to all my psychic will power

- Attune your will to the vibration of the Holy Ghost so that you use your willpower in Harmony with God and the Universe. 

What would I like to do with my will psychically?

- Open my life to receive abundance and move into that abundance. 

How do I do this?

-Through your feeling. Feel out into the universe and sense the possibility of manifesting that abundance

-Lean into that feeling until it begins to grow and the possibility feel more and more likely.

- Find opportunities to lean into this feeling and make decisions that are in alignment with these feelings. 

-Make leaning into these feelings and making decisions in alignment with them second nature and a single effort of mind and will... So as you lean you are applying your will consciously to manifest this reality

-Stay away from things that bring you down

-Avoid them at all costs

- Change your habits to support this positive feelings

- Find things to dwell on that uplift your spirit, then apply your will and thought with positive affirmation towards the end you seek to manifest. 

What is positive that I can dwell on right now?

- I am a being of infinite consciousness and infinite intelligence. I can utilize this intelligence right now to manifest whatever I desire. I make this way with God, for He is the Truth and all Righteousness. 

- I am infinite. I am infinity. I recognize the darkness within myself as an opportunity to utilize my will to become a freeer and happier version of myself. Within the darkness is the potential for Light, for resolution, and new creative possibilities. The darkness is my ally, my friend, not my enemy. 

What do I want?

- The ability to trust my feelings. To trust that they will lead me to deeper happiness and lasting security. That they will lead me to material, mental, and spiritual positive development

- To remain in contact with these positive feelings and to have reoccurring and frequent opportunities to act on them to increase the stability of the positivity and it's power to manifest positive change- abundance in my life. 

- To see the world and the many circumstances I find myself in through a positive light in which I am very capable of navigating

- For life to be a lot easier and friendlier. To be able to enjoy it deeply and cultivate a thoroughly friendly relationship with life. 

- To be at peace and ease. To live in a deep and abiding bliss. To love freely and openly. To give love freely and generously. To help people to awaken to their own inner peace and bliss. To love people. To love with everything within me. 

All doors and all ways open before me. The blue sky shines within each of these passageways so that everything is open and accessible. Everywhere I look I find infinite positive potential to succeed and overcome any fears I have. I am infinite. I am boundless. Nothing can contain my spirit. There is only openness before me. Only Peace. Only God. My life is changing. I am not finite. I am infinite. The world will meet me to provide what I need, to bestow infinite abundance upon me. I am infinite now. I possess infinite abundance now. I possess everything right now. The shell that has contained me is cracking, crumbling apart. The infinite within has broken free and now soars high in the blue sky of Heaven. All doors open before me. The blue expanse opens before me. I am forgetting what it feels like to be a limited being for my infinite soul awakens. I can only move forward into this openness. This openness, this infinity is the substance of everything in my awareness. All around me all of the time. Through this Infinity I pass and into it, through it, I travel. I live in this Open Sky. So that I never truly touch the Earth. Earth and Heaven have become One. This extends into the future and the past, purifying and revivifying them so that all things become open and free. So there is no err and no place to err. 

Only the infinite electric sky.
