WIND OF GENESIS CREATION

WIND OF GENESIS CREATION 

In the beginning ... it's all there. All the allegory, metaphor, myth, reality, and whatever it is that speaks to the heart of man as to how everything got here and why ... except for one thing ... sort of. You can see Adam (adamah/clay/red earth) and Eve (Chawwah/breath/live) as real people, or as ... something more ... an esoteric message contained within an allegory.

Let's first look at Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 specifically:

1 - "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 - The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters."

So now ... a bit of a metaphysical rendering ... just bear with me on this for a moment. I do have a point to reach. Let's go with a bit more colour added to the black and white:

"In the beginning (at the point of origin) God (Source Energy) created the heavens (Spirit/unseen) and the earth (matter/seen). The earth (matter) was without form (not material/physical yet) and void (blank canvas/the uncreated nothingness that was the Source of everything created/unlimited potentiality), and darkness was over the surface of the deep (unaware/lacking consciousness or awareness), and the Spirit (PNEUMA/RUACH) of God (the power to give Life) was moving over the surface emanating from the void of the waters (Source of all Life)."

Keep in mind since the stars and sun came later, the term spoken of "and then there was light" refers to the light that is consciousness. Photon energy. What we consist of. And also keep in Mind that if God/Source is creating stuff ... then the stuff he is creating is made out of God Stuff since there is nothing else. This would mean that everything that exists today is made out of God Stuff. Everything. It's like God Depot. This means you and I, and the chair you're sitting in, are made out of God/Source.

So now back to the stuff being created. Plants, firmament, animals, people, etc. - from a ... void? Well, the first thing we must ask is how can anything come from a void, which is "nothing?" Science and religion have fought over this for 2,000+ years. Science says you can't get something from nothing, and religion says there wasn't "nothing," there was God. But, Biblically speaking, God says there was nothingness ... void. Greek word "Void": Cosmos, chaos, vast, empty, null, gaping, abyss, etc. As you can see ... a multifaceted word with multiple meanings. 

As a Greek, I can tell you that when we call someone a "voide" it means they are empty. basically, a shell with no content ... clueless. It is used in a derogatory manner these days. But the void is the most amazing of all. Like ZERO is the most important number in math. Zero doesn't mean nothing, it has a mathematical whole value and as such holds together the entirety of Math, which is the only absolute Truth known to the Universe. Even the code of all computers systems in the words is nothing more than one's and zero's. 

So clearly, the Book of Genesis, hints that there were elements already in existence that need not be "created." The most important being "Pneuma/Ruach" ... Spirit, breath, wind, air. This would be life-force. This Pneuma or Spirit Air / Ether (Aether) meaning is multifaceted: 

1 - the upper, pure, bright air; ether; the heavens (Ouranos)

2 - the air or sky; light of day (Ouranos, Phota)

3 - the upper world, the earth being the lower world. (As above, so below)

4 - the brightness or ethereal (otherworldly/spiritual) matter surrounding a deity

The Strong's Biblical Concordance gives is the following information on the word "Pneuma":

Strong's Concordance word #4151. "PNEUMA"

pneuma: wind, spirit

Original Word: πνεῦμα, ατος, τό

Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter

Transliteration: pneuma

Phonetic Spelling: (pnyoo'-mah) (or pnevmah)

Short Definition: wind, breath, spirit

Definition: wind, breath, spirit.

4151 pneúma – properly, spirit (Spirit), wind, or breath. The most frequent meaning (translation) of 4151 (pneúma) in the NT is "spirit" ("Spirit"). Only the context however determines which sense(s) is meant.

Any of the above renderings (spirit-Spirit, wind, breath) of 4151 (pneúma) is always theoretically possible (spirit, Spirit, wind, breath). But when the attributive adjective ("holy") is used, it always refers to the Holy Spirit. "Spirit" ("spirit") is by far the most common translation (application) of 4151 (pneúma). This is done by adding the Greek word "Hagios" meaning holy. See Strong's word #40. 

The Hebrew counterpart (rûach) has the same range of meaning as 4151 (pneúma), i.e. it likewise can refer to spirit/Spirit, wind, or breath.

So to keep this from rambling on for a very long time, in the book of Genesis (the book of creation/birth) - Genesis is Greek for "descent, to be born, birth, beginning, to generate," and in Hebrew the word is beresheth - and BEFORE anything was created, there pre-existed a formless void of Spirit. This was the point of origin for all material existence to be brought forth into manifestation. Total unbounded, and unlimited potentiality. 

We are co-creators in this universe. We set the intent, the cause, and bring forth the effect. We are NOT individuals, but an essential part of an entire Matrix of conscious fiber that weaves throughout the universe and multiverses unseen by the human eye, yet projecting the image onto the screen from within us through the eye. We are "the light of the world." There is no "other" as we are all one, and that ONE is resident within the Mind of the All ... the Mind of God/Source. 

The 2 book of John says "as Jesus is, so are we in this world." Jesus represents man and his spiritual potential to recognize within, the spark of God/Source, and become the Christ. We are the begotten of God. ALL of mankind. Jesus was quoted as saying "you will do greater things than I." Jesus said he does nothing unless it comes from the Father. He asked who is my Mother, my brothers and sisters? SPIRIT is Father God/Source ... the energy of all there is. MATTER is Mother of all living. Eve, Mary, Miriam, MR ... in essence ... Father and Mother created the child. WE are that child. 

There is so much more, but I will stop with this final statement. God/Source experiences life in a material world (lower vibrational energy) with us, through us, and AS US. As we grow with experience, so does the Almighty. Choose wisely your thoughts and actions. The universe depends on it. You matter as much in this Matrix of consciousness as everyone else. The past has passed, the future doesn't exists until we collectively create it, and all that ever is, was, and will be is right NOW. 

Every material object that we create has always existed. All we do is re-arrange the materials that have always been here. We cannot make dirt, or water, but we can mix it and bring forth the mud of it's combination. We are ALL equal and key to the co-creation of the future. We choose right from wrong. Choose wisely. All you will ever need is already here. Understand this secret from the Wisdom of the Ages and you will succeed and prosper ... physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Follow the 7 Universal Laws of Hermes, the Immutable Laws of the Universe ... and you shall always benefit in this game of life.

IS GOD SLEEPING

IS GOD SLEEPING

Genesis tells us on the 7th day, God rested. So, ... "I'm done" says God? It's over. everybody out of the pool, put up the yellow tape ... store's closed. Well judging by human history, church history, government affairs, and the general condition of world events, apparently God never never showed back up at the factory on Monday. Was it "rested," or "retired?" Sure seems a lot like the latter doesn't it my friends? Now be honest. Don't tell me you've never asked something like "if there is a God, then where is He?"

Before you can determine what God has or has not been doing for the last 4.5 billion years of the existence of planet Earth, we we have to determine just exactly who or what "God" is to so many people. What is God to you? Do you imagine him to be as Zeus was, long white hair and beard sitting on a throne ruling from the monarchy of a heavenly realm, a He, She, or It; or is God simply each breath that you take in and out, and the sheer existence and sustainer of Life itself. Is God the label we have given to the Source of energy that launched the eternal universe into motion with such a precisely engineered formula that it is regenerative and cyclical guided by universal Laws and ever-expansive design?

Maybe this God looked at the whole thing as a parent assisting kids with their homework. "ok, I'll get it started for you, but you have to finish it." Maybe the entire universe IS what we call God, and we have personified into deity so many of these wonders that we have seen we simply make them or it, Deity ... simply because we didn't have a better answer or explanation at such an early point of human civilization.

Maybe WE are God? Maybe this giant rock that we live in (that's right in, not on) is one giant living Mind/organism that we have labelled the universe, and the entirety of all things are God. After all, children are dying of cancer, wars are prevalent everywhere, there is illness and disease, hunger, starvation, depression, abuse, hatred, natural disasters, and a host of other negative conditions that are far from what was supposed to be "live and live abundant."

Sure, we can blame "Satan/Devil" on these negative ills, but then we have to define who or what Satan actually is. The word simply means "the opposer." So, perhaps, if, as it states in the Bible "no one has seen the face of God," and there is noway possible than I could ever see MY face (unless through a reflection) that perhaps it is I, that am God. Not singularly, but collectively. Perhaps we are ALL God and we are ALL Satan, and we use our free will and creative powers to build a world of goodness, or not-so-goodness. It was Paul who said "we are the body of Christ." And if the Christ (consciousness of God) is the earthly representation of all the goodness (God-ness) that is God, when we go against the default of goodness, it is US who are "the opposer." Perhaps, it is DIVINE-vs-EGO in an ongoing spiritual evolution and involution of universal development?

Whatever it is you think God is, one thing in very clear. Mankind is the reasoning, thinking, planning, and execution creature that brings about causation in this world, along with the natural order of events already set in motion. In many ways, WE are the God of this world. Go(o)d and un-go(o)d. We have the ability to bring about change and keep things evolving to a better future. WE can stop the wars. WE can feed the children. WE can cure disease. We can shelter the homeless. We can do ALL of these things with the assistance and Life-force that we call God providing each and every breath we take, and the interconnection of our consciousness through the Matrix of this single organism we call the universe. WE are the chosen ones to bring about the Kingdom (love, peace, and joy) upon the lower worlds ... Earth. So, Let's do this.

HIGHER SELF AND CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS

HIGHER SELF AND CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS 

Religious beliefs, teachings, and dogmas have a tendency to create separation of Higher-Self (the Divine) from God/Source, because these beliefs tend to discourage a full direct and meaningful experience of Source that is WITHIN all of us. God/Source is inside each and every one of us. And this understanding, this knowing and full acceptance, is what is needed in difficult times. A healing of the separation of God is needed to reconnect all of us to the Source of all that is, and as a result to each other as well. 

Know, understand, and accept that we are never separate or separated from the Source of all creation. There is a God Essence within ALL of us. This is always the case. By relying on an outside consortium to manage this relationship for you, you are turning away from that which resides within you. Remember the wise words of St. Francis of Assisi: "what we are looking for, is what is looking." 

You do not need to rely on and reach to outside and to the external as it is unnecessary. In essence, religion and its varying dogmas and doctrines teach you how to turn away from this God/Source that all of us have within us, by relying on the external, and foregoing the internal. This lowers your energy vibration and does not help with your ascension process. You do not need to be blessed by any priest or third party religious figure to receive the blessing's of God/Source.

You can be blessed within ... and do not need to rely on others outside of you to bless you in this way. Relying on others gives away your control and freedom, as it implies separation. There is no actual separation ... we are all One, we are all Source. When you see this for what it is, you can be ready to be blessed by God/Source directly. Also, remember the word "blessing" comes from the Greek word "eulogia," which means to speak highly of someone. Just like at a funeral, the one speaking goodness of the deceased is delivering a "Eulogy."

Understanding and accepting this Truth will serve your ascension of consciousness well. You must understand and accept yourself as a part of and an essence of God, and that the blessings will come directly from God within you. We are all going to eventually merge back to where we all came from when we are ready. This is what "Christ Consciousness" is all about.

Imagine the Source of ALL Life as a body of water, and you are a cup of that water experiencing Life in that water on Earth. But that cup is still Source, that cup is still you with your own separate and distinct energy resonance and vibrational frequency. There is nothing else that is required, just the recognition of YOU, for the magnificent being of emanating Source Energy that we are. This is what living in Christ Consciousness is all about. When you know and understand and accept this Truth, you have resurrected the Divine within ... the Christ Consciousness.

Religion has hidden this Truth from you through dogma, illusions, false teachings, and deceptions. It is time now to find this Truth. When you know this as Truth in your heart and Soul, these illusions and false truths disappear. You will stand in your Truth, light, and in your own knowing. Every soul that incarnates on Earth has an innocent and pure Soul Essence. There are never bad choices, just lessons and experiences from the choices we make. We come to Earth School to learn karmic lessons, and to grow and develop spiritually. That is why we are here. Too many times, we waste these opportunities for us to evolve our Soul and Divine Essence. 

Christianity’s dogma of original sin is simply not true, and causes fear and disempowerment due to the false understanding that there is an external God sentencing us for our sins and mistakes. Nothing can be further from the Truth. In addition, this unnecessary fear causes separation from the recognition of our Source within. As we are separated, our energy vibration is lowered when our goal is to raise it.

If we feel that God/Source is external to us, we fear it, we do not see it; and there is a false separation. Not seeing this causes us to be blinded because our power is being given away due to the false understanding of a fearful God living in the clouds on a golden throne. Not only does this manifest separation from Source within, but we are filled with fear that God will punish us for something we have done. God never, ever, punishes. His mercies are new every morning. The Bible stories are allegorical myths, and were never meant to be taken as literal and historical only - there are much deeper meanings. God/Source is the force of Life inside us, and loves us all immensely. We manifest our thoughts into form, so if we feel fear and guilt in a vengeful God, that is what we will experience in our reality. And both fear and guilt lowers our energy vibration to that of base nature, rather than the Divine. 

Through this type of process, we have given up our control and power. Be careful of religious institutions that are corrupted by control issues, power, and their false dogmas and teachings and doctrines. Original Sin does not exist and had been invented to enslave the masses. We do not need to rely on an external God. Look within for salvation ... salvation from ignorant thinking and actions. The light within will shine on the Truth, and all illusion will dissipate. 

We will find our God Essence within us, not without us. We need to remove ourself from this hindering external belief systems, and raise our vibration from the destructive base nature frequency of fear - to love, as God/Source is pure Love. We experience what we feel and think. Our thoughts are energy and will manifest into form. And if we are projecting a frightening God and sin, then we are scared and become more and more bound to the dogma of the various religions that control us ... which leads us to being subservient, while helping to fulfill another's agenda. It is time to stand up in our light and in our Truth.

Eliminate fears of a vengeful and frightening God, and eliminate false separation from Source Energy / God Essence. Our ascension will serve us well by realizing and accepting these Truths. We will experience our own revelation, resurrection, and ascension when we release ourselves from the control and manipulations of religions that do not serve the highest and best good. The Kingdom of Heaven is WITHIN us ... and IS Source.

Forgiveness and redemption will not come to us through religious dogma and rituals. We must develop our own internal relationship with Source. Look within to find your Source Essence. It is there. It always has been. And it is the same within all ... as we are all One in God/Source. No need to look outside to find what is inside. No third party religious person or priest is needed. Always be in a state of forgiveness, thanksgiving, and gratitude. and do not rely on others to forgive you. You are not responsible for others.

Forgiveness is for you, not for the other person. It releases you from the burden. As you continue to forgive, you are developing a closer relationship with Source. Remember that we are ultimately Source, as we are all ONE. Only WE have the power to make changes to ourself. When we understand this and accept this, we live in Christ Consciousness and reclaim our inner Divine power. We rise up to the glory that is US, to the powerful and illuminating I AM Presence inside our Soul. We find the God Self within us. Our Higher Consciousness. 

Be careful also of martyrdom religious beliefs. Jesus did not come to suffer for humanity so that we can all be saved and thus be forgiven by God/Source by dying on the cross. Once again, these are allegorical and celestial myths ... with deeper hidden teachings. Wise men, sages, hierophants, and shamans taught us how to live in the Christ Consciousness long before the story of the man from the Hills of the Galilee every found its way to the scriptures. Jesus, as a higher being of Light, showed the common man the Truth of the Christ Consciousness that had been known for centuries among Royalty and the Elite. Be mindful also, we are not punished FOR our sin but BY our sin ... negative consequences of ignorant thinking and wrongful action. This is the Law of Cause and Effect. 

Believing that Jesus died for the sins of humanity has bred the belief of a saviour. There is only one saviour, and that saviour is you. You are the only one that can save yourself. You do this by living in Christ Consciousness, by understanding and accepting your own Divinity. People need to be aware and be responsible for their own actions and this false religious belief has taken away this responsibility ... being told that Jesus is their saviour and took upon him their sins and karma. This cannot be. 

Every person needs to be responsible for their own actions and their own karma (cause & effect). This is Universal Immutable Law. This is how we grow and develop and learn. The story of the crucifixion of Jesus is fear-based. It connects a sense of obligation to be subservient to the dogmas and rituals of the early Roman Church leaders. These were not the original teachings of the Great Mysteries that led to early teachings that found their way into the ancient scriptures. 

This was done to keep people in fear and by doing so, take their power from them and put it in someone else's hands. Holy Men and Hierophants have tried to share the Christ Consciousness with others for millennia, to show others how to connect with their Inner Source Essence ... or God. We are our own savior, and the only thing we need to be saved from is illusion, ignorance, and negative emotions, thoughts, and actions. 

It is the full knowing, the full understanding, and full acceptance and integration and the BEING of Source vibration while we are in our physical body. It is being awakened to our true Self, to our Divinity. We are all an individualized essence and part of Source. And Source is a part of us. We must understand and accept this Truth. That is how powerful we really are. That is how beautiful we are. When we realize this, we are living in and with Christ Consciousness. That is when Life can change for us. That is when ascension will happen for us. We become fully awakened to the beautiful Source being that we are. All of us will eventually return to Source when we are ready.

You are living knowing that Source is a part of you, that Source is in you, that you are part of Source, as that cup of water discussed above. Find your Christ Consciousness within and find your Source within. Do not resort to devotion or worship to religion or a vengeful God that does not exist ... but find the self-realization within. The loving God of all creation. The one that promised Life, and Life abundant. 

There is no separation. We are all One. By realizing the Christ Consciousness within, you are then forgiven for your so called ‘sins’ (wrong thinking) automatically through recognition of your own true nature as Beings of Source. This is important to understand, because then we realize that we are our own saviour. 

No other being will be saving us. We are the ones we have been waiting for. When this is understood and accepted, there is a freedom from all religious dogmas that do nothing but to entrap one in unnecessary guilt, religious obligations and subservience to religious institutions. Then the shackles of oppression and control can be removed and our I AM Presence can be seen, and we have risen ... to a higher level of consciousness ... Divine.

You then realize that Jesus is symbolic and the full embodiment of the Christ Consciousness ... our Saviour within. This is a Truth, a Truth that was hidden from us for thousands of years to control us ... and designed to manipulate us through fear by false religious institutions serving their own purposes. As soon as you discover the Christ within, the Source Awareness, you WILL realize that you are your own saviour.  Be your Source. Be your Saviour. Be You. Be love, as Source is Love. Be One with all things in this universe. All is one, and one is all.

WHY WE ARE AN ESSENCE OF GOD

WHY WE ARE AN ESSENCE OF GOD

There are numerous Bible scriptures and verses that somehow never seem to make their way to being spoken of in the pulpit and Bible Study gatherings of modern churches and temples. There are many reasons for this. 

I have taken a few moments to extract just a few of these verses that I speak of. The Bible and many other ancient writings are filled with beautiful Truth presented in allegory and metaphor. There are deeper meanings contained under and beyond the surface stories.

For the benefit of people who I know that use the Bible as an owners manual for their Soul and the way to live their Life, I will discuss these verses and try and show their non-literal, and non-historical metaphysical intent. Let it be known, there is nothing in the OT and NT Bible that hasn't been said before by earlier civilizations and previous religions. The OT itself tells us "there is nothing new under the sun." These stories are a plan for living our own Life, not just historical documentation of other people and places.

Isaiah 45:7

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

Lamentations 3:38

"Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?"

Amos 4:13

"For, lo, the former of mountains, and creator of wind, And the declarer to man what is His thought (Logos/Word)."

1 John 4:17

"By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment (decision); because as Jesus is, so also are we in this world."

Matthew 9:4

"Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them, "Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?"

Galatians 4:19

"My little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till Christ may be formed in you."

John 14:12

"In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me - the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do."

1 Corinthians 12:27

"Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it."

Luke 17:21

"Neither will they say, 'Look, here!' or, 'Look, there!' for behold, the Kingdom of God is within you."

John 1:1

"In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God."

The LOGOS (or loosely translated as "Word") is from the Greek and has been used for hundreds of years prior to Jesus' times by philosophers to mean "the active reason pervading and animating the universe." This Greek word Logos is also translated traditionally as word, thought, principle, or speech." The active reason pervading and animating the universe was found specifically defined in Psalms 33:6-9, as the breath of God’s mouth: what He speaks, His words ... the Mind of God manifest in form. 

This LOGOS concept also dates back to ancient Egypt with the God "Hu," who spoke the world into existence. Remember also, the ancient Sanskrit word for man or mankind and for Mind was "manu." Combine these two, and we find the word 'HU-MAN. Are you beginning to see the connection? Hu-man literally means to have the Mind of God. 

Consciousness, the very basis of existence, thinks before it acts. The physical world of matter, which is in actuality, vibrating electrical energy is brought into form and made manifest by thought. By speaking the word. We are all not only ONE consciousness, and ONE Spirit ... but we are ALL co-creators of this world. The future unfolds with every thought and word and action that WE decide from NOW. 

It is mankind ... US, through the Life Source of Spirit Energy ... which we call God, that creates good and evil. Love and abuse. Order and chaos. WE are the ONE. When you come to the realization, in fact when we ALL come to this realization, then we can create a world of love and compassion rather than war, disease, famine, and abuse.

WHEN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BECOME ONE

WHEN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BECOME ONE 

One of the Universal Laws is Polarity. It is a "range" of one principle. For example, hot and cold are ranges of temperature. Smooth and rough are a range of texture. Day and night are a range of light. There are many others, good and bad, black and white, happy and sad, all extremes of one principle. Nothing escapes this Law. So, if you are in darkness, you are in the absence of the other end of the spectrum ... light. So darkness is the absence of light. Somewhere along the way, as with the use of a dimmer switch, there is a range dial of sorts. As you turn the dial, you go from darkness to light, and from light to darkness. But where is it that we decide what is light, and what is dark. Where is it along that dial that makes one change from the other. It is simply a range, a position, it is a gradual transition from one to the other. But there is a dial ... a catalyst to use as a tool for the actual transition.

Positive and negative are frequently cast as good and bad. But they are not seen that way in the Law of Polarity. They are simply opposites of the same principle. When you look at a battery, there is a positive side and a negative side. But there is no good side or bad side to a battery. The same for magnets. Positive and negative, but not good and bad. Just polarity ... measurement across a scale. Even our calendars are positive and negative based on the acceptance of the year zero. This means everything forward of zero is plus, and everything backwards of zero is minus. For example the year 2,ooo is +2,000 or 2,000CE. The year 2,000BCE is then -2,000. The reference point is zero. Like the needle on a gauge. If you're using a metal detector, there is a needle (or beeping) that is the indicator of getting closer to metal. The closer you get to one side of the dial, the needle moves closer to that side. The further you get, the needle moves to the other side. It is the needle ... that is the indicator. Just as zero on a weight-balancing scale uses a center position needle when items are properly balanced. 

The Law of Polarity gives us a range of the same thing. They are two extremes of one thing. Positive and negative are merely steps and measurement along the path of one principle. Whether you're experiencing a good day, or a bad day ... what you are truly experiencing is a day with the potentiality of good or bad (un-good) events. Everything is potential. We create the world around us through our thoughts, decisions, beliefs, and actions. There are immutable Laws that guide the universe. They can be used for benefit, or for consequences. It is up to us how to use them. We have our own inner needle or pointer that helps guide our way through the various polarities of every situation we think about or experience. Listen to your internal GPS, to guide you through the negative and positive polarities on your way to discerning the intended position along the way of the principle you are experiencing.

DISTURBING THE PEACE

DISTURBING THE PEACE 

Let's start off this writing with the etymology (word origin) of the word "disturbance." It has several definitions: "mental distress, disruption of peace or unity, to stop or hinder, to throw into disorder, to frighten, and to stir up and agitate." 

And as for the word "peace." It also has several meanings. "reconcilliation, silence, absence of war, safety, welfare, prosperity, and quiet." 

There are multiple ways that people are able to "disturb the peace." Of course, one way is through municipal laws - making too much noise at late hours, causing fights and riots, etc. But I am much more concerned with disturbance of our Inner Peace. Because once we become a "peacemaker," then all else falls into place. 

In the New Testament Bible "Sermon On The Mount" Jesus is quoted as having said: "blessed are the peacemakers." A very important statement ... and much deeper than one would think. Because we cannot force peace on anyone else. We can intercede and become peacekeepers between two countries, neighbors, employees, or children; but they still may hate each other. All we do as peacekeepers is keep them at bay from attacking each other. But a "peaceMAKER" is one who has made peace WITHIN himself. Just as you cannot make two people love each other, you cannot make two people live in peace with each other. It simply cannot be accompished from the outside in ... it must travel from the inside out. And it is a personal accomplishment.

There are numerous ways that disturing the peace inwardly can affect us. Opinions, noise, traffic, politics, multiple conversations, ambience, loud music, abusive relationships, and an endless host of distractions aimed at disturbing our peace. If we cannot be at peace within, then we cannot be at peace without. As above, so below ... as within, so without, etc. We all must find ways to connect to the Divine realm of inner peace - even if it's just for 10 or 15 minutes a day. Whether it is centered prayer, meditation, contemplative prayer, or just sitting in the peaceful surroundings of nature. 

When we do this, we greatly minimize our base animal nature fight or flight ... the same as stress. The stress that affects our body in a stressful working environment, does the same things to our bodies as if we were running from a hungry bear. It is meant to be used for short bursts ... a means of protection from danger. But in most work environments, you are in that condition all day, and then you bring it home with you. 

All of us must find a way to stop "disturbing the peace" within, and find tranquility, balance, and joy at some point in our daily lives. It is imperative to our mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health. Remember, most illness and disease begins in Mind, before it manifests into form and makes your body sick. Go on a nature hike once in a while. Listen to a running stream. And ... stay thirsty for knowledge my friends ... but above all, do not disturb the peace within you.

DOME OF ETERNITY

DOME OF ETERNITY 

Once we have all come to the Truth and realization that all of Life is experienced INSIDE our heads, through our sensory centers, and that we're never "outside" of ourselves, we can understand the connection of Oneness. Nothing ever happens, unless it happens in our heads. And the only limitations we have, are those that the ego has sold us. In fact, even our organic brain, is in our brain. 

We are under the impression that the entire universe is coming AT us, when in reality, it is coming FROM us and THROUGH us. And we are tied together in the fiber of the vast Matrix of unconsciousness that is the network - the Field. How else would I see the same things as you see, hear the same things you hear, or be in the same place as you are? Life ... is in our heads ... experienced in the skull. Science has proven what the ancients knew all along, that there is no such thing as matter as we believe it to be. Matter (Latin for Mother) is simply the lowest level of vibration and frequency that we can experience. Nothing more.

Everything is energy ... electrical energy. When you think you are touching something, it is experienced in your head ... in the Mind and brain sensors. You're never really touching anything. It's simply vibrational frequency electrical energy transferring awareness energy from one center to another in your organic brain. We are not born INTO this world ... we are born OUT of it. As a leaf comes from out of a tree, and a tree out of the Earth. This has been a continuous process since the very first seed. The apple seed contains within it, all that is needed - not just for another tree - but for an entire orchard. But before it can grow, it must be buried within the earth, and then grown from within the Earth Mother. As above, so below. 

The universe is limitless. It is a dome of eternity ... vast and never ending because everything is energy, and energy cannot be created, and cannot be destroyed. It just IS ... and it is everywhere. And this is what WE are ... energy, having what we call a physical experience. But we are NOT the experience. We are NOT  the body. We are NOT the Mind. We are the watcher, the witness, the experiencer. What you are looking for ... is what is looking. We are as the bright white light projecting from the back of the room in the movie theatre. We believe what is seen on our movie screen/life is real. It all seems to be real. But it is nothing more than a projection from who we are within. And we see Life the same way ... as moving still pictures/images. Our Mind captures billions of still images and converts them to fluid motion, adds colours/hue and depth of field (dimension), and even labels everything according to what has been programmed. 

Past, present, and future are all here right now. Where else would they be? The dead and the living are right here, right now. Where else would they be? Where else is there for them to go but somewhere in the vast universe ... which is INSIDE of us and existent in a place called NOW. The past has passed, but we carry it around with us NOW. The desires we have that we wish to experience, we carry with us NOW. When a child is born, we are that child and that child is us. There is no separation of things. There are no things. There is only ONE thing, and it is ALL things. You may call this God, Allah, Source, Absolute, Universe, Almighty, or any other hundreds of labels, titles, and descriptions. We are the great re-arrangers. There is nothing new, and there won't ever be. Because everything we make, we make out of the stuff that was already here. All we do is re-arrange it into something else. We have all we will ever desire and need right here among us, st this moment. All we have to do is attract it to us, receive it, and learn the ancient secrets from the Wisdom of the Ages as to how to do it. 

You and I are the center of the universe. Everything emerges FROM us. Everything emanates from us. We are a collective, though individualized essences, of the One that is ALL. When you come to this understanding and Truth, Life throughout the world will improve for ALL LIFE, and eventually we will bring Heaven to Earth. When we realize that what we do to other, we do to ourselves, because there is no "other" ... then we will have come to the awareness of our Higher-Self ... our Christ-Consciousness. Our Inner Mystery which binds everything together as One. Even rocks are alive at a cellular level. They have consciousness just as we do. Our mitochondria energy factories in our cellular biology are the power centers of all thing(s) found in this universe of amazing inspiration. Go forth and multiply knowledge. 

Just a thought ...
