The Zimmers, My Generation and Oneness

If you didn't watch the TV programme last night, you simply have to view this video. It's truly brilliant. So inspirational and such a great btestimony to true Oneness. I wonder if 'The Who', when they recorded this in the 1960's would have ever belived that it would be re-recorded in the 21stC by people aged up to 100 years old, and broadcast around the world on the internet. Fantastic and congratulations to all involved.

Oneness and your neighbour

We increasingly talk about all of us being connected 'As One',
on a planet where we are all clearly inter-connected and highly
interdependant on each other.

If Oneness is not something you are comfortable with, we are
asked by all of the major religions in the world to 'Love thy
neighbour as thy self', or something very similar. The key words
here to recognise, are not just to treat our neighbour the way
we would like to be treated, but to treat them 'as ourselves',
which is also saying we are all One.

But several people have told me how very difficult, or even
impossible it is, for them to go to the next stage, which is to
forgive and love our enemies!

Well, a wise man once told me that if you take your worst
enemy, and if you found that you are both locked in a jammed
elevator for 24 hrs, and you got the chance to hear your
enemies life story, that you would see that person completely
differently. He said that you would forgive, and perhaps even,
love thy neighbour as thyself.

What does this say to you?

It tells me that much of our world's problems, locally and
globally, are a result of a lack of communication of information
about each others situation and position. Our true reality.
Our life stories. Our loves and fears. Our beliefs and dreams.

So, if we experience a difficult problem with a neighbour, we
should perhaps remind ourselves. 'they have a life story to tell,
they want to be loved and love too'.

Another wise management consultant once told me, at the start
of my consulting career, 'take any problem that's presented to
you and you will find that the root cause is lack of communication
of information'. Increase the communication of information,
improve the frequency of communication from 'infrequent and
one way' to 'frequent open two way' communication, and the
problems will simply, and naturally, fall away'.

I think that if we really did believe that we are all One
interconnected and interdependant humanity, that we would
naturally want to openly communicate, inform and help
one another.

Isn't this the real challenge for the evolution of humanity
in the 21st Century?

The Buddhist story of the 'Heedless Monk'

I simply love the Buddhist story of the heedless monk.
I suppose it is because I can laugh and relate to the bit about
drinking too much alcohol on occassions in my life.

As the story goes, the Buddhist Monk was making his
morning rounds for his alms, when he was invited into
the house by an attractive woman.

She immediately locked the door and told him that
she would not open it until he had done one of three
things:

1. Kill the goat in the yard and eat it with her or
2. Have sex with her or
3. Drink the jug of wine with her


The monk was bewildered!

As a monk, following the precepts of his Order, he
pledged not to harm any beings. He also pledged
not to have sexual intercourse, and he pledged not
to take intoxicants for the mind.

Eventually, he decided that, if he had to do one thing that
would cause the least harm to beings, it would be to
drink the wine.

So he drank the jug of wine with the woman, became
very intoxicated and, as a result , had sex with the woman,
killed and feasted on the goat! All three!

Sometimes, what you think is the most harmless can
become the most heedless, especially in the case of
mind changing substances!

Oneness - The Prodigal Son coming home

I like the story of the prodigal son, and I am convinced
that we all have to be prodigal sons and daughters
to then understand Oneness, or coming home.

Have you ever said, 'I have come back home, at last'

For me, I had to travel the world, several times, before I
realised that there was no need to search outside.

But that's life!

The Dark Night of the Soul

So, maybe we enter the Earth life, to develop concepts of fear,
death, seperatedness. In other words we develop a belief system
of illusions based on negativity. Untruth.

Then, once we have experienced what we are not, we are
ready to seek and recognise what we really are. The Truth.
Otherwise, without imperfection, we cannot know who
we really are - perfection . Without the dark, we cannot
appreciate the light.

Do we all have to go through the dark night of the Soul to
experience an enlightened state? Is that a journey we all
have to take?

Spiritual Knowledge, a response to Who, What, Why, Where, When, How

In one of my other blogs, my knowledge management
blog at
http://km-consulting.blogspot.com

people often search for the meaning of knowledge and
wisdom and search for 'who, what, why, where, when, how'
of knowledge. Apparently, if you have answers to these
six questions, you get to the knowledge and truth.

On a recent flight, whilst contemplating knowledge and wisdom,
I realised a spiritual knowledge response to these six questions
could be:

1. Who - God
2. What - Gods creative intelligence, loving wisdom
3. Why - This is reality. This is the Truth
4. Where - Here always
5. When - Now always
6. How - Know thyself (the six questions)

Does this make any sense to you ?

Work as a spiritual process

I love this quote by John Randolph Price,
author of The Super Beings

"Everyone should have some way of contributing to this world and
be paid well for doing it.

That’s what jobs are for.

"Work" is a spiritual process when consciousness is in tune with
the Source within."

Oneness, energy and matter

We are told that all is energy.

That energy is indestructible, but can be transformed.
That we have higher and lower vibrations of energy.

Low dense and slow vibrations are associated with physical
matter, that we can see, hear and touch. High vibrations are
associated with invisible energies.

Through continuous heating, thick dense ice will become
more fluid water, and eventually vapourous steam.
Through continuous cooling the opposite will occur.

Thoughts may be considered to be high energy entities.

If we continually focus on the same thoughts, we know
that they will turn into more dense and dominant thought
patterns and beliefs, and eventually, into material
manifestation.

So the whole manifest world that we are experiencing,
has the footprint of the collective dominant thoughts
of humanity.

So, maybe the whole world wide web, which is thought
driven, can be seen as an earlier reflection of the ever
changing manifestations of humanity? Or is it more
than an early reflection?

So, we have today global warming of the ice flows, to
water, and forecast destruction; and we have
global cooling of our thoughts and ideas,
to matter, and, hopefully, forecast construction?

Loving Wisdom and the Mastery of Mind

For some time, I have realised that the infinite inner power
within, call it creative intelligence, or Higher Self, or God,
is infinitely abundant and keeps coming through us all.

I have realised that I will always have this power coming
through. It has not dried up, and has never been lacking
in any way at all. This happens daily. I can trust, rely and
count on this. This is the creative intelligence in action.

Therefore, it is vital that I recognise this power is coming
through, at all times, and make sure that my mind, which
is my chooser and decision maker, channels this creative
power to the right, positive things, to create for the good
of One and All.

I must guard my thoughts and mind, and ‘take mastery
of my mind’ at all times. I must transcend mind training
to Mind Mastery.

The creative force cannot help itself pouring though.
The force will always channel to what I choose.
What I think and what my mind chooses, it becomes.
In other words, I choose who, what, why, where, when,
how I give this power to.

If I choose positive things - I create positive things,
if I choose negative things, I create negative things.

I have been wrong. over the years.

I now realise more than ever before that I have given
too much of this power to external people, events,
things etc, instead of focusing on the power within as
the primary cause and the external manifestations
as a result.

By focusing too much on the external result, and not on
the true inner cause, I have continued to experienced
much separation from my true source.

First, as a child, I gave this power to authoritative people
- parents, schoolteachers, employers etc to shape my
conscious (thinking) and, ultimately, penetrate my
subconscious, (feeling) beliefs, and acting mind.

I experienced in my childhood, wrong thinking, especially
fears and deep anxieties, even traumas on occasions,of
‘separatedness’, ‘death’, ‘violence’, ‘loser’ ‘shy’ apparent
‘lack of love and intimacy’ lack of money and debt etc.

In other words, much negativity. (I guess we all have this
story to tell in one way or another)

From my teenage years, I have also given this power to alcohol.
Initially, it was to overcome ‘childhood to manhood’, shyness
and bravado, singing in a band, being one of the boys,
sexuality and physical intimacy with women, socialising.

It was, initially, a coping mechanism.

It worked in the beginning. I associated alcohol with much
pleasure (and still do). Then it became a subconscious habit
for certain times and events, and gradually, it became harmful to my health.

But alcohol is a drug that will change the natural ‘utterly positive’
and natural state of my conscious mind. This has caused my
mind to reach quick highs and then to plunge into lows.

Initially, they were no more than hangovers, but eventually, a
s the drinking continued more regularly, I would tend to think
more negatively and create negatively, after the event.

I now see that this has caused some paranoia in my mind,
sometimes deep anxiety and, on occassions, much negativity.

But this negative frame of mind keeps reproducing the
creative power and intelligence within, as negative feelings,
situations and experiences because it is ‘my will’ being satisfied.

The subconscious does not judge, it takes everything literally.

It just delivers my wants and needs.
It delivers the negatives as well as the positives.

The subconscious does not know the Truth.
It acts on everything submitted to it, as its truth.

But the 'superconscious', creative intelligence, Holy Spirit,
call it what you will does. It knows the perfect pattern for
us all. If we care to listen, trust and let go.


The Revelation

Up until this time, I felt that there was good and bad in the
real world for you and me.

This is because of living in the world of duality and opposites.

Increasingly, I learned that there are good positive thoughts
that we can cultivate and that will override any negative thoughts.

I started meditating more on loving kindness and mindfulness.

I became more mindful in all my daily actions.

So I knew, intellectually and intuitively, that the power within is
continuously and abundantly there!

I knew that my subconscious mind would carry out the
patterns of my subconscious needs and wants.

But, oh dear, with such a conscious revelation to the great
and continuously flowing power within, what if I still had
hidden negative destructive patterns in my subconscious?

I knew that the more I kept positive, the better.
I knew that if I ‘consciously’ thought of the creative intelligence
as my positive supply that, when I was conscious of this, I
would be positively creating in the external world, based on
positive thoughts

I knew this was all based on feelings and I had, from time
to time, some very strong feelings based on negative fear
(and stomach churns) in creating that reality, but also,
when ‘thankful and in gratitude’ for receiving positive
power from within, I got some good feeling also.

So things were starting to change.

A big difference for me was the affirmation:

‘I am a channel of God’ – a co-creator,

and not just ‘me’ doing this good work alone.

For me, this was a moment of Enlightenment!

I was also reminded that this inner creative intelligence,
or spirit within, is omnipresent and omniscient, so if it was
with me all the time, why was I fearing negativity and
evil, at all??

Then I read the introduction to the book ‘A Course in Miracles’
again. I have read this book several times over the years.

‘Nothing real can be threatened
Nothing unreal exists’

- Herein lies the peace of God

That made me think again and very hard indeed.

It reminded me that there is just One Law of Love and
Knowledge/Truth

This is your true reality, your enlightenment, when you
realise that there is not really a choice in reality at all.

Truth will always be Truth.

The only choice is the time you decide/choose to realise the Truth.

But we all have an apparent choice. We can choose if we wish
to see the Truth or our own made version of the truth,
our personal beliefs.

We can choose to be ‘as God created ’(reality)
or ‘as we made ourselves’

If we choose the reality we made ourselves, then this is
not true reality, although it can certainly seem very real for us.
We can continue, for as long as we like with our own free will,
to continue to live our own illusion.

The Course in Miracles also says:

‘This is a course in miracles. It is a required course.
Only the time you take it is voluntary. Your free will does
not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means
only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time.’

This is saying the same thing.

We can choose to live in Gods Truth when we want to.
We can choose to abandon our errors and false beliefs when
we want to.

Then I put these thoughts together with my writings
around ‘Loving Wisdom’

I realised that we can, and must at some time, choose to
accept the one Law of Love and Knowledge.
That there is, in reality, only what I like to call
Loving Wisdom all around us.

But we choose.

And this choice is also based on our health (mental, emotional and physical)

So, we must purify our minds, thoughts, feelings and bodies first.

This is done through Forgiveness.

Remove the mental and emotional toxins, guilt and negativity a
round self, people and events.

Remove physical toxins when the mental and emotional are
removing (naturally you will want to remove these physical
toxins, because the primary cause of this will fall away.)

When you are enlightened to the Law of God, Love, Oneness,
Loving Wisdom, all else naturally falls away.

If we only accept Gods Law for Loving Wisdom, as the primary
cause, and reject those other externals that you have given
power to, then this is:

‘Loving the Lord thy God with all thy heart, all thy mind
and all thy soul’

Put no others, at all, before God as the only reality.

The true reality is that you are a son of God. We are all
sons and daughters of God. We are One and this is in All.

Then, daily, treat the subconscious, through the conscious
and ‘feel’ the One Law of Love and Wisdom enter the
subconscious thoughts, feelings and actions.

Hence, herein lies the ‘Peace’ of God.

Let the unreality ‘not exist’.

Be mindful and change.

Imagine your highest vision possible within your
consciousness to help yourself attain this state of
enlightenment, to then help your family, friends,
business associates, community and the world.

Ensure your highest vision includes total communion
within, to your higher self, at all times, and focus this
one laser beam on providing the best possible service
and value you can to One and All.

That is Mastery of Mind!

Oneness and the egoless state

It's amazing!

If I think I have thought these thoughts, spoken these words,
felt these feelings, written these words, performed these actions,
just as me - then sometimes I can feel good or bad about myself,
according to the results and my level of self confidence and self
esteem. Also, I might worry about whether what I have done is
worthy or not. It is based on my ego state.

If I just change my mind.

If I think that my Higher Self has thought these thoughts,
spoken these words, felt these feelings, written these words,
performed these actions, through me, then I will always feel
good, fulfilled and thankful and consider what has happened
through me, to be unquestionably worthy.

The same happenings, but totally different states of mind and
feelings. One concerned with the seperated ego state, and the
other concerned with the egoless state of connected Oneness.

Inner and outer directed energy?

Are you more inner or outer directed?

Think, for a moment, how much time and effort you place
on anticipating and achieving external results and becoming
stressed when the external does not meet our needs and wants.
That's being outer directed. That's connecting with a limited
outer expression, and disconnecting with your true source
and power

Think, for a moment, how much time and effort you place
on connecting and communing with your inner Higher Self,
and relaxing in the certain knowledge that the inner will
manifest in the outer. That's being inner directed with an
unlimited source, and connecting with your true source and
power.

Of course, we are both.

However, if you are more inner directed than outer directed,
your inner visions and imaginations will manifest much faster
in the external world, than if you are more outer directed.

Even if the outer experience is not good today, that's yesterdays
expression in manifestation, so master the mind and turn inward
as much as you can. Commune with inner love, peace and wisdom
- inner 'loving wisdom' - and relax in certain knowledge that this
inner experience will become our outer experience sooner.
