Omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, without judgment.

Our body is light, we are immortal.
Our body is love, we are eternal.
Eternal..

Omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, without judgment.

This sort of understanding is essential if we are to grow spirtually. The notion that any distinction between ourselves and everything else is purely imaginary is the next great realization to be had by humanity.

If one thinks carefully about this, they will see that their existence is merely a mosaic of all of the other existences; it is merely a reflection. The universe is basically percieving itself, via one's self, from a particular point of view. This allows the creative force of the universe to be enriched by all of the entities therin.

It is so simple that I often wonder why mankind, in general, fails to realize this. Were man to really understand, he wouldn't have any reason to cause negative effects on others. To realize our oneness is also to realize that there are no others.

I imagine that any sufficiently advanced form of life will have realized this fact by now. They will have realized that there is a real purpose behind the existence of planets, stars, galaxies, parallel universes and all of the greater structures yet to be discovered in nature.

The purpose of matter, in general, is to provide a place for spirtual beings, such as ourselves, to bind with and experience sensation. Matter exists, coordinated by time, as a way of organizing sensation into a stable form that can be understood by the mind. There is thus an ethereal world to which spirts can join with and thus discover ways of understanding the nature of mind.

The simplicity of matter is astonishing if you consider the fact that the atoms which compose us began as a sparse cloud of hydrogen expelled by the creation of this universe. These atoms had an inclination to attract to other atoms (gravity) and clouds of these atoms became dense and compact nebulae. This compactness causes the atoms to bounce into each other, thus vibrating the atoms (vibration of atoms = heat).

Eventually the atoms become so packed with energy that they bounce into other atoms and fuse; thus we have the energy source of all of the stars, fusion. The process continues on for billions of years and eventually the star dies and rains its newly created elements throught the cosmos so that planets may form and beings may come into existence.

What most fail to realize is the fact that the material world is here for the enrichment of the spiritual world. The general conception, however, is: spiritual development is un-necessary, a mere hobby done for shits and giggles, the body is nothing more than a bunch of chemical reactions that accidently happened to produce the awareness one now possess. Nothing could be further from the truth, but this is what we are encouraged to think by our societies.

The other great misconception is that one can learn anything of use from society. Society is but a distraction; this distraction blots out, for the most part, our perception of our own spirtual existence. In order to grow spirtually one must turn off their internal dialogue and silently meditate.

I don't discount the fact that one can learn things from others that are useful, however, to learn via the channels generally available in society is mostly a fruitless waste of time and energy. It is essential that we quiet our internal chatter; in doing so we are able to see beyond the materialist illusions produced by such chatter and into the higher dimensions of the spiritual world.

This internal chatter is generally active for the greater part of our waking and sleeping hours and is often a feedback loop of useless thoughts. Thoughts founded by our fear of the unknown and our desire to seek comfort in material attachments.

So long as material attachments are paramount in one's existence, one cannot truly attain any similance of spirtual enlightenment. This results from the fact that material attachments cause one's spirit to remain in confinement; this is because the fear of loss is so powerful that many are willing to forego any separation from the objects they so love so that they might avoid this loss.

We may not yet realize it, but, the factions that are at war on the planet are those of the material and those of the spiritual. When I say, "war," I don't mean that cockamamie lie that the media is portraying as the great battle of our time. I am referring to the war for our minds, this war takes place everywhere. You don't have to wear some patch on your shoulder to be a part of this war either.

The materialist influences in this planet want you to go on craving and fearing so that you will not grow as a person, this is one faction in the epic battle. The spiritual influences want you to rid yourselves of these harmful materialist rituals into which you have become so absorbed and grow spiritually so that you might realize higher forms of consciousness and become a better companion to the other spirits.

The battle between the two factions has, with the advent of mass media as a form of mind control, been biased towards the materialist faction having the advantage. I believe, however, that the expressive powers available to us on the internet will destroy this advantage and allow humanity to progress further on its long overdue journey into higher consciousness.

Please join me on this journey, an exploration of the self which owes no allegience to any particular form of dogmatic ritual (religions, countries, armies, corporations, families), only then can we see our true reason for being. Join me in shedding these arcane things so that we might inspire the rest of the universe with our courage and commitment.

Yes, internal chatter...

Have you read Carlos Castaneda's books? What about Georgiy Gurdjieff's? Only when we still our internal chatter can we begin to feel the divine presence... Once you've become perceptive to the Divine Presence, you'll be overwhelmed with the desire to pray, and acknowledge that presence, to express gratitude. You'll want to turn towards the Divine Presence many times a day.



God says, Turn to me, and I will turn unto you.

Allah says, "If my slave comes closer to me by one span, I go towards him a cubit’s length, if he comes to me a cubit’s length, I go towards him an arm’s length, and if he walks towards me I run unto him."
