As
a personality scales the evolutionary
heights of many lifetimes, some
places along the path have viewing points.
From here, one is able to look
backwards at the heights already scaled, and
one is also able to look forwards to the
peaks towering overhead.
There
comes a point very early on the path where
we realise that there is no going back. Things
will never be the same again. The
back door is closed. Changes
have taken place, and are taking place,
everywhere except in our memory.
This
is why the memory can be such a dangerous
tool; because it remembers
things how they used to be, which
is not of much benefit to a newly evolved
situation.
At
school, we are taught how things used to
be as if they are still the
same scores of years later.
The
only benefit in going to school is to find
out how others have been conditioned. By
finding out how others have been
conditioned, we are able to
find out how we ourselves have been
conditioned.
This
was the aim of the Buddha's teaching -
to discover our own pre-conditioning, and
to remove it.
At
first, we feel that the preconditioning is
"us" - as if it is a part of
our inner selves, but later we
find that our inner selves are far more
subtle than the coarseness of
the conditioning of the material world.
We find
that many of our habits and personal
traits have come about as a
result of avoiding something, as
opposed to coming about by reasoned
or intuited choice. Prior to
realising this, we cling to these traits as
if we were clinging to our arm, not
realising that it is these very habits and
traits which are preventing
our evolutionary progress.
Never
eating
We
may come to the point where we feel that
any action we take to satisfy any of our
senses is wrong. This is most definitely
not the case.
Whilst
dwelling mindfully in a sphere of
understanding, we are still able to
recognise whether an experience is
pleasurable or otherwise. There
is no reason to avoid pleasurable
sensations, as long as we are
aware that for every pleasurable
sensation, there must be an
equivalent unpleasurable one. Natures
law dictates this.
However,
when we are aware that we have to eat in
order to survive, then we
become concerned about food. There
are those who say that food should be
considered as medicine only. I
will not disagree with that concept, but
would add that if I am about to take
medicine, then I will make
sure that it is the most efficacious for
the present illness.
If
the present illness is created by a desire
for chocolate, then I will eat
chocolate (if available),
but
whilst eating it, I will
examine why I need to eat it.
Reject
Controlling
Vibrations
My
vibrations are different to yours and
everyone else's. Impulses are
triggered in me which are not triggered in
others. And impulses are
triggered in others which are not
triggered in me. I try to give
to others the freedom which I require for
myself.
Whenever anyone
limits my freedom, either accidentally or
intentionally, I immediately
recognise the fact, and reject the
controlling vibrations.
City vibrations
have now increased in strength to the
point where insanity is
controlled only by
force.
As the
controlling vibrations increase, then
each individual closes down their
receptivity in order to avoid
the insidious control.
But at the same time, they
close out the positive vibrations which
might provide the spark of awareness
which allows them to break out.
I have become
quite selfish with my time, as
there never seems to be enough of it to
do all the things which arise. I
have already trimmed many things off my
list, and I am sure not going
to sit around chewing the fat,
with no consequence.
Travelling
in
Circles
In the west we have been
taught to manipulate others in
order to obtain satisfaction for
ourselves.
In the east we have been
taught to manipulate ourselves so
that we do nothing to disturb the
satisfaction of others.
When we in the West try to
learn the ways of the east, then
we struggle because we apply western
thinking. If we are to
succeed, we must first make space for
eastern thinking by disposing
of erroneous western thinking. The
reason for the error is that those
who have already become proficient in
manipulating others, have
already succeeded in manipulating our
thinking.
We must first remove this
manipulated, or controlled thinking, before
we can open our mind to a truly different
set of concepts.
Concern
for others.
We
should
not trouble our mind with concern for
others. Their mind is for use
by them in concern for them, as
our mind is for use by us in concern for
us.
When
we are in the presence of others, then
we must observe and respect their needs, and
we must be careful to fulfil any promises
which we may make.
However,
as we are unable to completely guarantee
our own actions, due to the
effects of outside forces, then
we should not make any promises lest we
are unable to fulfil them,
thereby creating negative karma for
ourselves. No promise is
far better than a broken promise.
Additionally, if we ponder the problems of
others in preference to
pondering ourselves,
then
we are failing to learn about ourselves.
No matter how much we learn about
ourselves, I doubt that we
will ever know everything.
Therefore,
by
pondering
over
others, we are failing to use
that time pondering ourselves, and
therefore we progress more slowly than
might otherwise be the case.
If
we can once get some sort of sense of
urgency instilled into our inner being, without
bringing along the usually accompanying
impatience, then we can begin
to avoid the interminable time wasting of
the masses.
When in company, they talk in
frivolous and non-beneficial ways, and
when alone, they fill their minds with
mindless non-progressive twaddle,hence
the permanent travelling in circles.
We have convinced ourselves of the need to
relax, and we have decided
what relaxation consists of, and
in most cases it consists of switching off
the mind.
This
is another way of saying behaving in a
mindless manner. It is a
crying shame that we have not been
introduced at an early age to
the finest entertainment available, and
free too.
Meditation,
when
performed
mindfully (and how can one meditate
unmindfully), provides more
entertainment, more suited to
our own personal needs than
any other man-made invention.
No other
man can ever be aware of the full
machinations of our own mind.
Some
may be able to be aware of what we are
thinking now, but they would
have no idea of why we think that way, whereas
we do have the capability of working out
why we think that way.
That
is what meditation is all about. The
result of a successful meditation is
that we work out a little more of why we
think the way we do, and by
realising this "little more", then
we are able to decide whether this
particular piece of conditioning is
desirable or unhelpful.
This
is how we improve ourselves.
It
just is
Western culture holds the view
that extreme feelings should be
controlled, and not displayed
in public.
My culture holds that it is
best to live in a community where
these feelings can be expressed; where
the rest of the community are sufficiently
loving and tolerant to allow
the expression to be used as a
way of freeing the expressor from his
restricted state. In return,
the expressor learns tolerance and
patience.
Tolerance is not, as I once
believed, forcing oneself to
accept the actions of others, whilst
not approving of them. It is
not the acceptance of the action which is
the crux of the matter. The
crux is the approval. By
spending our lives approving or
disapproving of everything we come across,
we colour our opinions to the
the point of non-reality. Tolerance
is learning to not judge.
The line in the Dao Te Ching
reads: "It's not good; it's not bad; it
just is".
This idea of things just
being, without being categorised, is
foreign to most westerners.
This is why easterners appear
to be more tolerant than westerners -
because they do not create so many
intolerable situations. Those
beings who are fully aware of their
shortcomings are able to avoid
situations which highlight the shortcoming,
and
thus
to fail only rarely.
Those beings who have an
erroneous or inflated idea of their
capabilities, consider
themselves to be better than others, and
therefore refuse to accept responsibility
for their own actions. They
blame all errors on someone or something
else, and by convincing
themselves that they are not at fault, they
fail to learn.
One of the first things we
learn once we enter the path is
that we are responsible for everything
that happens to us, whether it
be consciously, or subconsciously.
The vibrations generated by
our mind/body/spirit complex operate
in the same way as other vibrations. Like
attracts like, and therefore our
particular set of vibrations act
as a magnet to those with similar
vibrations, and we become
drawn together, with no conscious
knowledge of why.
Who am
I?
In the search for meaning, the
discovery of our true selves, the
following notes may be of assistance.
We will begin at the end, as
they are both the same when discussing
infinity. We, you and me, and
each entity which considers itself to be
separate, is an infinitely
small fragment of The One.
The One is the subject of
which religion, politics and all things is
made. If a member of a large
family states that he has no brothers and
sisters, then all of his
brothers and sisters know that he is
deluded. Yet he does not know.
This is how it is with the world.
We are denying our integration
with the rest of creation, and
as a result have considerable difficulty
in understanding reality.
We are all a part of The One.
Unfortunately, because very
few of our ancestors were aware of this
fact, then the world into
which we incarnated was already in
turmoil. Our institutions had
been founded on fallacy, and
were sure to crumble before too long.
The actual process of birth, as
conducted in a Western hospital, is
an incredibly traumatic thing.
The equipment of modern
childbirth is more akin to the
equipment of a torture chamber than that
of a loving environment. We
were even born in an unnatural way -
what chance do we really have of ever
becoming in touch with nature?
As if that's not all, we
are given a series of
vaccinations against the imaginations of
our ancestors, with untold
results on our future health. By
the time we exit the torture chamber and
arrive "home", we are already traumatised.
How's that for an entry into a
new incarnation - its almost
enough to not want to bother much with
another one, so we solve that
problem by reincarnating into the same
body.
So, we arrive home, and
gradually begin to sleep off enough of the
trauma to be able to see and hear.
What do we see? What do we
hear? We are being programmed
already into the misconceptions of many
generations. We hear so much
twaddle that we are fortunate to be unable
to make any meaning out of it. But
we do make meaning out of the vibrations
it creates.
We very rapidly learn to
differentiate between pleasant sounds, and
unpleasant sounds. We also
become aware that our trauma increases
whenever we hear a loud noise. As
we are almost permanently surrounded by
loud noise, then we never lift
our trauma, and suffer with it
for the remainder of the incarnation, never
actually waking up at all.
It sounds patronising to
suggest that we never wake up, but
this is because we all believe that we are
awake, just as we believe that
we are separate, or have one
life only.
Would a fully awake person not
know that vaccination is of
many times more danger than it is of
benefit? Would a fully awake
person not know that the
biggest drug dealers are the governments?
Would a fully awake person not
know that there is a secret
world government
which has been orchestrating
events for several centuries? Would
a fully awake person
not be aware that they are
being conditioned to be competitive, obedient
and simple-minded?
We are given e-mail, when we
could be using telepathy. We
are given Internet when we could be
mentally on-line to The Hall Of Records. We
are given electronic music to make sure
that our minds are rarely clear, and
we are given alcohol, just to rub it all
in well. What chance of being
awake?
No, not patronising - just
truthful.When The Buddha was
asked if he was a god, he said "I am not a
god".When he was then asked
what he was , he said:
"I am awake".
In this context, enlightenment
and awakening can be considered
synonymous. You would not be
offended if we suggested that you were not
yet enlightened, would you? So,
why be offended at a suggestion that you
are sleeping? Because of the
trauma caused by the belief in separation.
How could I ever be wanting to
say anything to hurt you, when
I know that you and I are one. I
would be hurting myself, and that is not a
sensible thing to do, is it? So,
whenever you register that I might be
trying to hurt you, you are
actually registering the root of one of
your childhood traumas. The
first step is to be able to overcome the
embarrassment or anger, created
by
finding out a little more about ourselves.
Most of us are so traumatised
that we run in the opposite
direction as soon as we think we
might discover something nasty. We
just do not want to know about our nasty
side, and we become very adept
at hiding from it.
The only way to overcome this
type of problem is in a loving
and understanding environment,
hardly any of which are known
by us. How many of us truly
felt able to discuss any and all subjects
with our parents, or teachers, or
anyone?
This is how it is meant to be.
It is meant to be up to us to
gather enough gumption to be
able to climb out of the morass of
misunderstanding, and then to
be able to look back and feel the relief
of escaping.
Our first reaction is to go
back and get our friends, but
they do not want to listen.
They have to do it themselves,
as we did, and all we can do
is make ourselves available if they
request assistance.
We lie awake at night, almost
weeping at the memories of the incidents which
had closed down our minds, and
seeing how the minds of our friends and
colleagues have also been closed.
How can we ever understand
ourselves enough to think
straight when we are taught that disease
comes from invisible things
floating around in the air. What
confounded rubbish will they be wanting us
to believe next. How much
money is made by selling medicines and
hygiene products
to people who do not know that
all disease originates in the mind?
There has been a solid body of
true information, in oral and
written form, unchanged for at
least twenty centuries, and
yet it is not readily available to the
general public. How can we
ever understand?
The curricula at our schools
and universities are carefully
chosen so as to avoid this body of truth,
as if it is too complicated
for a normal human being to understand. It
is far simpler than trying to understand
the concoction of misinformation provided
by governments who knock down their own
World Trade Centres, and then
shout "foul".
The media is owned by the same
secret government, and
therefore is designed to portray the same
"competitive, obedient,
simple-minded" message.
Much of the secret government
control was started when the
Romans had problems with controlling the
barbarians whose lands they
had conquered. They therefore
devised a method of creating fear amongst
these fearless people, and
this method has perpetuated until this
very day.
We can tell you now that there
is no such thing as a devil, and
if you do not agree, then you are
confirming that you are still dreaming.
THE REAL WORLD IS FULL OF LOVE
- THERE IS NO HATE
- THERE IS NO
MISUNDERSTANDING
Look at nature in the
real world
- see how everything
co-operates with and assists
each other in its quest for light and
consciousness. The only fear
which exists is created by man and his
frightening machines.
So the fear of death becomes
so strong that we do not talk
about the subject in polite circles.
If only polite circles were
aware that they gave alreafy
lived several hundred incarnationsas a
human being, then they would
have something very interesting to talk
about - alas, even polite
circles are traumatised.
So, you take offence at the
"simple-minded" term.
Why are we not all aware of
and able to understand Einstein's theory
of relativity?
Because we are programmed to
disbelieve this relativity, and
therefore the truth is not presented to
the public. This keeps us
simple minded. It is not a
statement that there is something wrong
with us. It is a statement of
fact, no matter how unsavoury. (The
truth shall set you free, but first it
shall piss you off).
Are you aware that most of the
food you eat has been in
contact with dangerous chemicals,
and/or is genetically modified
to comply with another of our ancestor's
imaginings. How can we achieve
our potential when we are fed unnatural
produce?Would a fully awake
person allow this to happen?
Enough of why we are the way
we are - yes maybe much of
that has come from the outside
- we are what we eat -
we are a product of our environment -
all of that has been true until today.
Now fortunately or otherwise,
we have achieved the first step
in waking up. We have become
aware that we are asleep!
The four steps of learning
are:-
Unconscious Incompetence
Conscious Incompetence
Conscious Competence
Unconscious Competence
Having read the above you have
already left step one, and are standing on
step two.
We dedicate our second part to
reaching step three.
Part Two
Reaching Conscious
Competence.
The result of reaching conscious
competence is that we are able
to observe ourselves in detail,
and
to discover exactly why we think,
say, and behave the way we do.
A
tall order maybe, and not to be achieved
overnight.
Here we outline some practices which have
helped us, some now abandoned,
and some avidly practiced daily.
We hope
that one or two might vibrate with you, and
that we can help you to set your sights on
step 3.
We
have had the good fortune to spend several
years in a loving environment, with
the time to learn and practice. Most
people do not have these facilities, and
we are attempting to distil our own
experiences into a few words
so that assistance is available. We
are aware that each path is unique, personal
yet shared, and that the way
along the path is fraught with
the discovery of hundreds of childhood and
adult traumas.
We
hope to provide navigation aids, which are
useful to you.
We consider our "being" as a tripartite
entity, which we call mind
body and soul. We have little
knowledge of any of the three.
The mind
The mind is our driving force.
We
are able to generate positive or negative
thoughts.
We
are able to make choices, and to apply
free will.
We
are able to increase will power.
We
are able to imagine and be creative.
Our
mind is so capable of so many things that
keeping it under control is difficult.
This is
why the greatest of our teachers all
participate in and recommend meditation.
This
calms the mind, and enables us
to take control of it. If we
allow others to manipulate our mind, then
we are not controlling it to the best
effect.
In the
process of waking up, we
dispose of much of the conditioning which
we have allowed others to place there. When
we realise that the majority of citizens
are not yet awake, then we
realise that we have been believing the
thoughts and words of short-sighted
people.
Once we
dispose of this short sighted narrow
thinking, then we have space
for the broader thoughts of the awakened
mind. We become less petty,
and less involved with trivia. We
are able to concentrate for longer periods
on things that we really enjoy.We
are open to more reality, and able to
learn faster.
The body
The physical body, of flesh, blood, bone,
hair, and water is formed
around seven main energy centres called
Chakras.
These seven chakras appear in every
sentient being, and
differentiations occur only in the range
of openings available.
The
human being is more able to open more
chakras to a greater aperture than
any other sentient being. Simple
machines (e.g. a pendulum) can be used to
locate and analyse the chakras, in
the hands of a trained and loving person.
Please do not doubt the truth of
these words, as incredible as
it may seem to our conditioned reasoning
mind. Try it for yourself,
there are hundreds of books on the subject
of chakras.
Having a knowledge of the existence of our
chakras helps us to better understand some
of the things which have and will happen
to us. Would an awake parent
be pleased with a school which taught
human biology, managing never
to mention the chakras? (Curriculum
exclusion).
Here we
see how we have "missed out" as
a result of the superstitions of our
ancestors, and we feel the
energy arising in us. This
energy may originate in anger, or
frustration, or impatience, or
jealousy or just plain hate.
The soul is more difficult to understand,
and therefore more difficult to
explain.
I think
of it as the glue which holds everything
together. When our body dies,
we do not die.
The
real "I" or"me" is far more than our body
and mind. The real I is
immortal, and is the base from which each
incarnation is generated. The
real I is what many refer to as god, or
at least a part of god.
God is
the sum of all the "I"s of all things.
The realisation of the existence of the
soul is the starting point in waking up.
The
truth shall set you free
..........but
first
it
will piss you off
Don't take the second
bit too lightly.
The revelations which come about as we
learn the truth are so deep
rooted that coming to terms with them often
involves tearing out what feels like whole
parts of ourselves.
If we are
pre-prepared, having
reached this situation by throwing away a
little at a time, then we are
already familiar with the sensations of another
removal of waste matter.
Every time
we remove some of this rubbish, we really do
lighten our load.
Not only do
we dispose of the cumbersome weight generated by
the erroneous negative thought, but we also
benefit from the freedom and lightness generated by
the truthful positive thought. A bit of the
ego dies, and allows the true, hidden self
to be revealed. We remember
that the ego has been created by the
conditioning around us, positive and
negative. The ego is not the real "us"
which was in us when we were born.
In order to
find the real us, we have to
break through all of the conditioning which we have
wrapped ourselves in, in order to
protect ourselves from bumps and knocks
along the way. All of these
things were useful in their time, but if we
fail to dispose of things when their
usefulness has passed, then we begin
to carry too much weight with us. In our mind's
eye, we can witness scenes like a person
crawling down the road, wearing
Pampers, with a dummy in his(her) mouth, a school bag
on his(her) back, and a school tie around
his(her) neck, an American
football helmet on his(her) head, with a shirt
to match, a bunch of red roses sticking
out of a sheath on his(her) belt, a laptop in
his(her) left hand, and a plastic
toy gun in his(her) right, wondering why
he(she) is unable to be successful.
We are
aiming for a sharp clear mind which is able
to process data faster than before, and therefore
able to penetrate deeper into the truth of
any particular subject.
This can only
happen if the thought paths are free of
irrelevant and unhelpful debris, and we can
only dispose of this debris
after we have
disposed of the little piece of ego which
collected it in the first place.
Our aim is
to be able to live "here and now", with no
reference whatever to incidents from the
past.
These
incidents have no bearing on what is
happening right now under our noses. We are unable
to understand the enormity of what has
been done to us because we
are all so busy hiding behind our colossal
egos which have been encouraged to
grow by the powers that be.
If only we
could draw aside the heavy dark curtain which these
bloated opinions create, then we would
understand the truth in seconds. They say the
ignorance is bliss, and it is
certain that any bliss currently being
experienced by the human race is through
ignorance.
This now
begins to sound like one of those alarmist
"The
end of the world is nigh" messages, and in
some ways it is. But this
message goes further, by telling
you that it is only the end of the world
as we have previously experienced it. The "new"
world will bring new experiences, and if we
have learned and practiced being open to accept new
sensations and experiences without fear or
doubt, then we are in for a most
wonderful time.
If, however,
we attempt in any way to hang on to
anything at all from the "old" world, then we
automatically attach ourselves to the old
world, and we die with it.
Best of luck
in your search for the truth.
Different reasons for incarnating
If there are different reasons for
incarnating, then these
probably relate to the further raising of
consciousness,
or the
balancing and opening of the chakras.
The people whom we seek are
not going to be a part of the usual crowd,
although they probably will have
been at some time.
They are more likely
to fit the term Wanderer, in
that they have rarely, if ever, felt
as though they belong where they are
- it is always as if
they have not yet reached the point that they are
supposed to be at, so they are
wandering around hoping to discover their
real identity.
We are here to try to
help them to remember, like we
too are remembering, who, and
what we really are.
The minute that we
once step outside the veiled world, then
our compassion for those still entombed
increases.
We see every minute
of the day, everywhere, people
speaking and acting in exactly
the ways we acted before we knew.
How can we criticise
- we know that we and they are
parts of the same whole.
We know that with a
little assistance, they too
can step outside the veil. We
also know that we must not attempt to
preach. If they ask, then we
may answer, otherwise, we must
remain silent.
What determines our personality
today
The process of evolving the mind has been
studied by many, who all agree that the
conditioning received in earlier life is
what determines our personality today.
Each one of us has a desire
to be a better person, and we all do our
best to improve whenever we have the
opportunity. Psychoanalysis is the method
used by many in today's frantic world, and
this has the effect of occasionally
drawing out some old memory, and the
relevant conditioning, and has the effect
of removing a blockage allowing progress
to be made.
Meditation also has the
effect of removing blockages, but has
several significant benefits over and
above psychoanalysis.
Firstly, it is free.
Secondly, it can be done any time, any
where, without an appointment, meaning
that it can be done more often, like
daily, or even several times per day.
Thirdly, it does not target one specific
element of conditioning from the past, but
allows all conditioning to eventually rise
to the surface, and to escape and
disappear.
If anyone is able to use
their will power to get themselves started
on this path, then they will find that not
only does it get easier within just a few
hours, but that they progress measurably
and quickly, until such time that the
enjoyment achieved is greater than any
other form of enjoyment.
Instead of wandering around
the planet hoping to experience some
catalyst which will advance our lives, we
can stay just where we are, and begin to
discover ourselves.
I clearly remember when I
was the managing director of a software
house, which I also owned, having a desire
to understand myself. I read books like
"The Naked Ape" by Desmond Morris, in an
attempt to discover why I behaved in the
ways I did.
Now, some twenty or more
years later, I discover a technique which
has bee around for OVER FIVE THOUSAND
YEARS, which appears to work for anyone
and everyone who has a strong enough
desire to learn about themselves.
There are a few simple
steps, which I will outline as follows:
1 - Find a comfortable
position with the spine straight, in which
you can sit without moving for several
minutes.
2 - Concentrate on the
breath entering and leaving the nostrils,
until such time as the concentration is
steady.
3 - Begin to sense different
parts of the body in a systematic way,
until such time that the different
sensations are noticed arising and passing
in each part of the body.
4 - Whenever a problem
arises with sensing parts of the body,
then return to the sensation in the
nostrils, and work outwards from there.
5 - Repeat daily as often as
possible until enlightenment is achieved.
It seems as though this is
just too good to be true.
It is very good, but it is
also true. What is written above is the
central core of Buddhism. This is the
inner teaching of the Buddha, with all of
the other stuff simply being a way of
avoiding foul-ups during
"sitting-and-sensing". If we are able to
stick to the routine, then we are sure to
achieve enlightenment eventually.
We
are all enlightened already, except
for the fact that there are scores of
blockages preventing us from the
realisation of that truth. If we can
remove the blockages, then we are home
and dry.
