Landing on an 'Anon I mus' video today was my first introduction to this fountain of wisdom and inspiration, linked at the end of the post.

​Following is an article written by 'Anon I mus' with my responses to the text.
OUR DIVINE ORIGIN - THE BEGINNING:

Before the physical world had come into being, there was only the formless, indestructible impersonal field of Awareness.  

This primordial, undifferentiated Source was the self-organizing creative intelligence that is the sole author of this universe.

{Anon I mus, your wording is beautiful and I resonate with it. 

As I feel it, the First Cause is pure consciousness, the border-less, self-existent, One Being which emanates itself in oscillating frequencies of pure and undefined love. Those frequencies organized into the laws and forces of Nature, which I would call the creative intelligent designer of the multi-verse of existence. Nature experiments and creates a diversity of forms for the in-filling of pure consciousness, to be the body and self-observer of O.B. (the True Self.)

Nature's job description includes organizing the multi-verse for effective expansion and sustainable homeostasis. 

Human awareness (h.a.) blocks itself from O.B. The absence of the one being in human awareness generates the mentally fabricated illusion of separation - which is further maintained by forces having an interest in keeping humankind identified with the Separated.}

Existing in a timeless state of perfection (a static, absence of vibration), this unmanifested potential had no understanding of external/internal reference points, concepts or perceivable experiences of change/movement. 

Cosmic awareness had an urge to know itself by becoming ‘self-conscious’ through experiencing diversity (through the natural laws). Self-consciousness was the first projection that was reverberated out of itself; a polarized mirror reflection (lens, tool) from which to translate it’s own awareness into the simulated virtual reality experience of a subject/object split. 

Consciousness cannot exist without this relative framework of contrast, otherwise it would not be able to compare itself to anything (differentiate one part of the whole from another) to know of it’s own existence.

We are all the individuated, personified expressions of Source Energy that are living within the imagined, dream-like appearances of innumerable forms.  Each individual incarnation of Source (through the modification of a life-form) is a conduit for expressing this timeless expansion of Oneness. 

{Earlier I'd say 'I am an individuated unit of consciousness.' Now I say, 'we are one being.' That presents a new picture of how to live and relate with each other and how to regard the earth, all creatures, and all objects animate and in-animate. Everything is sacred. All harm is self-harm. All healing is self-healing. We are one being.

I am a center of awareness within the one being we are.}

Whenever Source desires to know itself as a life-form; it uses the sense organs of apparent autonomous living beings (avatars), it had creatively morphed into (taking on the disguise of forms), in order to learn and experience 'life’ in all the possible ways that it can. We (as consciousness) are how Source experiences itself.Our physical bodies are weak, but necessary conductors for tasting experiences of this physical reality within a linear space-time framework. This is done through the limited parameters of our biological nervous system. This physical reality (experiential universe) gives us the carousel of illusory appearances, belief in scarcity/lack and personal limitations (flavored with a dash of self-forgetfulness).

We, as holographic fractal fragments must not fall under the hypnotic spell of unconsciously masking our true, spiritual essence; losing ourselves in the phenomenal, material world. It is imperative to make a conscious effort in not becoming over- identified, attached or lost in the passing dream of conceptual forms that only exists within the timeless container of consciousness.

{All of the above rings true to me. I also feel that at some early stage of forming the earth and its inhabitants, something happened to shift the foundational frequencies to a disturbed range, which plays havoc with humanity by distorting and blocking the emanations of O.B. and retarding human DNA to prevent its unfolding to the fullness of its original design.

The impact of frequencies is demonstrated in sounds tuned to 440 hz or 432 hz as in the video below. This is not identical to the theoretical disturbance in foundational frequencies, but the same idea.}

It all appears to be a strange cosmic play of the One Self joyfully taking on the appearance of reflected forms - unfolding, splitting and diversifying itself into focal points of ever expanding consciousness (unending ripples of 'I AM’) in order to experience 'apparent’ individuality and disconnection to learn about itself through the creative exploration within itself.

{Anon I mus, you have expressed it almost exactly as I have felt over the years.... 'play of the One Self joyfully taking on the appearance of reflected forms - unfolding, splitting and diversifying itself into focal points of ever expanding consciousness.'

I resonate also with '(unending ripples of 'I AM’) in order to experience 'apparent’ individuality and disconnection....' That is how it feels to me, describing it sometimes as an ever-unfolding kaleidoscope of creating, orgasmic energy-particles, following blueprints to attract into new combinations, dissolve, and re-combine.

The last part, 'to learn about itself through the creative exploration within itself' feels not the whole story. I don't know fully the motives of the One Self for creating the all that is, and come back to the feeling that O.B. simply emanates itself and observes - and Nature designs the expanding multi-verse as the vehicle of O.B.'s expression. There is a rabbit trail of exploring seemingly abstract thoughts which cannot be proven, and I like to always bring myself back to the practical application, which is 'we are one being.' That understanding feels absolutely sound and applies to everything I think, say and do.}

A new perspective of ourselves is achieved through the rich, infinite complexities and varying degrees of consciousness. We will eventually, re-discover who we really are, which is the essence of consciousness (through the suffering of our unconscious form-identifications/attachments). Suffering from 'mistaken identity’ was intentionally designed to create the possibility for awakening to ultimate truth of our unseen, deathless nature hidden behind the transient manifestation.

{Wondering about the intentional design of suffering, considering 50,000 or more linear years of human history and the apparently little spiritual progress overall. This brings me back to the thought of a Fall which was not in the original design. Perhaps a shift in underlying frequencies is more accurate.

​I see the intelligence of Nature, powered by O.B., designing humankind to have an option to willingly let go of identification with the separated persona and be conscious co-creators with Source, in the service of Life. To be border-less and defined in the same moment.}

There is only One eternal un-manifested Life Force that is momentarily expressing itself in an infinite variety of ways through the illusory appearance of forms. It lives briefly in you as you, me and the entire Cosmos. Embrace This Single Underlining Reality.


432 hz vs 440 hz (Controlled Study) 

Published on May 25, 2014 by Tony

There is no doubt in my mind that Human manipulation has always been around, but this is huge. We all listen to music everyday, and learning the effects of the frequency we play and listen to music to and what it does to the Human mind is crazy!

What I did was record 3 different short rhythms in 432 Hz tuning and then 440 Hz tuning. The only thing changed in each Case was the tuning of the guitar. 

Same guitar, same strings, same tuner, same recording program, same guitar pick, same microphone, and same Digital USB Mixer. Each frequency has a distinct sound for sure, but learning the history of each one was Shocking to say the least.

...

*Interesting side Note: The Tibetan Monks still use the 432 Hz frequency to tune their musical instruments.

A viewer commented on YouTube: '432 = the music is within me = the universe is within me = i'm the universe!! 440 = the music is outside of me = the universe is outside of me = who i am?'

Union (Ch. 18 of 'The Impersonal Life')

The voice of 'The Impersonal Life' claims to be that of the I AM, a.k.a. God. While the text contains some wonderful nuggets of truth and revelation which have sparked new inspiration and realizations, I do not take it all too literally or follow it too closely. The higher authority I give most weight to is what I can discern from direct communication with the One Being we are, through the body/mind instrument of the Gary center of awareness, and ultimately that is what I most deeply trust - in its integrity and evolution. That voice guides my individual unfolding, as it uniquely guides each person.

Abstract ideas or mental meanderings must not be followed long or given too much weight, or a person can become lost in them. If I theorize about these things, at least it can be something that matters. 'The Impersonal Life' claims that pure consciousness, whose very quality and nature is borderless love, has ideas and a will to implement them. I do not see ideas in the pure consciousness of the One Being, who emanates itself into the worlds of creation, fills awareness where it is received, reflects itself in diversity, and observes.

More likely it seems that the high frequency emanations of quanta consciousness created the first intelligence, which formed into the laws and forces of Nature, which evolved the 'all that is' as the body of the One Being. There is no separation between the One Being of pure consciousness and pure Nature, only distinctions in frequency as written before.

I can see that the intelligence of Nature has ideas and a will such as to return the humpback whales and other migratory species to their birthing grounds, and to return a river to the sea, and to keep the heart pumping within my chest. 

I can see that Nature designs the unique DNA of each person for a particular unfolding, and that this unfolding could be thwarted by interference as written in {We Are One Being.} 

I can see that Nature could use intermediaries as a means to implement its ideas, such as the beings sometimes called Elohim, Archangels and so on. Unless fate puts me in direct contact with such beings, there is no need or use to know further about them so I just say, 'the universe is full of life.'

What matters most to me now, as it affects everything — relationships, what I attract to my life on a frequency level, and how much of my potential I use for service to Life — is my embodiment of the 'we are one being' consciousness.

'Union' is the final chapter of 'The Impersonal Life' but not of my own evolution. Union is the state of being united or joined and implies that the separated become glued together, or bundled like sticks. Deep in my soul I know that nothing is or ever was in actuality separated, though the illusion has been convincing. The substrate of the One Being is constant and self-existent, and is the only True Self. There is no union, but only realizing, receiving and responding to the one being we are and our (True Self) glorious orgasmic kaleidoscope of creative manifestation.
The Impersonal Life, Chapter XVIII
UNION

You, who truly wish to consecrate yourself thus to Me, and are willing to give your whole Life to Me, putting aside all personal ideas, hopes and aims, in order that I may freely and fully express through you My Impersonal Idea, listen carefully to these Words.

{Is it needed to put aside all personal ideas, hopes and aims? To be ready to let them go in an instant, yes, I can see that. To tune my awareness to O.B., and let that guide my actions, yes. The personal also gives individual flavor and color to the center of awareness I am, within the 'we are one being.' Being borderless and defined in the same moment. 

I am wondering if the apparent struggle between the ideas, hopes and aims of the persona and the impersonal idea of the original intelligence has roots in disturbed or not fully activated DNA. 

Do genes influence personality? The response from Michael W Kraus Ph.D. on Psychology Today online [1] is ambiguous:

... One thing that early gene-personality work overlooked is that a lot has to happen to allow DNA to code for specific hormones/neuropeptides, that then have to act at the cellular level to subsequently influence personality. In short, genes need to be expressed at a cellular level in order to influence personality, and so one place where a genetic researcher might want to look to examine gene influences on personality is at this expression--that is, what genes are being unzipped by RNA, so that specific hormones/proteins are produced?}
'The Impersonal Life' goes on to say,

I have led you through all your experiences of life up to just this point. If you are now really ready and willing to serve Me, and have learned that you, of yourself, can know nothing and can do nothing, and that I AM, and what you call your intelligence and your strength and your substance are really Mine, and that it is I who direct all your thoughts and both cause and enable you to do all that you do,— then can you comprehend the significance of My Words, and are quite prepared to obey them.

{This 'obey' starts smelling to me of hierarchy. I do not see hierarchy in the 'we are one being.' I can see yielding the ideas and will of the Gary center of awareness to that of the whole, which is governed not by any individual but by the original creative intelligence.}

I have hitherto brought to you the experiences that would teach you just these things. But now, if you are ready and worthy, you shall work consciously with Me, joyfully yet calmly awaiting each new experience, knowing that in each are contained marvelous expressions of My Meaning, which I will make altogether clear to you, and which will more and more bring you into loving, intimate union with Me.

{Okay, sounds good.}

Thus all experiences will hereafter be blessings, instead of trials and tests, or karmic effects of previous acts; for in each will I disclose unto you glorious visions of My Reality—of your own True, Wonderful Self; until you no longer will have any disposition to follow any of the old desires but will seek only to know My wishes and to please Me.

{I am up for that, in a modified way. It is unconvincing that anyone must seek to know the wishes of the I AM and to please it. I implement or experiment with every idea for embodying 'we are one being' consciousness and observe myself in situations of testing.}

This will manifest in many new ways. In your activities, be they what they may, you will care not what the task, but do whatever lies before you, knowing that is what I require; and striving always and only to please Me by your Impersonal part in the doing, which enables Me thus speedily to accomplish My Will. 

{It is true in my experience that reducing emphasis on the task,  the 'what I do', and placing more on the 'how I do', such as the quality of attention and openness of heart that I bring to it, brings me closer to living from 'we are one being' consciousness.}

....

If you can but know Me, dwelling thus in your heart, accompanying you to your office, to your shop, to your labor, whatever it be, and will permit Me to direct your business and all your ways; verily I say unto you, when you can do this, you will at once become conscious of a new Power within you, a Power that will flow forth from you as a gentle, kindly sympathy, a true brotherliness, a loving helpfulness to all with whom you come in contact, inspiring them to higher principles of business and of life, creating in them a longing to shed a similar influence within their own circle; a Power that will attract to you business, money, friends, and abundance of all  things you need; a Power that will connect you with the highest realms of thought, enabling you both to vision clearly and to manifest consciously all My Impersonal Powers and Attributes every moment of your life. 

{Agreed.}

You will no longer feel any need to go to church or to religious meetings of any  kind, or even to read the teachings of My Revelations, in order to find Me and to worship Me. 

Instead you will turn within and always find Me there, and you will be so filled with the joy of communing with and serving Me, and of thus worshipping Me, that you will care not for any other thing than just  to listen to and obey My Voice, and to feel the warmth and thrill of My Tender Love, as It fills and surrounds you and prepares the way and softens the conditions wherever you go and whatever be your work.  

{In earlier chapters, I balked at the word worship but here can accept it as communing with and serving the 'we are one being.'}
  
You I will cause to be an uplifting and leavening influence in the community wherever I send you, drawing all men to Me to receive My Blessing through you, who now are able so to make your personality subservient to My Holy Impersonality that they forget you and see only Me, and feel the quickening of My Presence within their own hearts; so that they go forth with a new light in their eyes and the sense of a new purpose in their lives. 

{Yes. 'Blessing' and 'Holy' are words I can take in my own way of non-religious understanding.}

In your homes particularly will I dwell, Through those nearest you will I teach you many wonderful things, which now you can understand, when before you passionately rebelled against their truth. Through husband, wife, child, brother, sister, parent, will I now be able to develop in you these great qualities,—patience, gentleness, forbearance, tongue-control, loving-kindness, true unselfishness, and an understanding heart; for I will cause you to see that I AM deep down in their hearts as I AM in yours. 

{Yes.}

Now will you be able to appreciate this and profit by it. When you truly do comprehend this great truth you will be able to see Me in your brother or your wife or your parent or child, appealing to you with loving, joyful eyes, when they speak. Instead of blaming them for their seeming mistakes, you will turn within to Me, the Impersonal One, Who will speak through you gentle words of loving kindness, which will immediately soften the heart of the other, and bring you once more together, and closer than ever before. For I, the real I, in the heart of each, AM One, and always respond when thus called upon. 

{Yes.}

Yes, if you can but know it, your greatest school and your greatest teacher is in your own home, by your own fireside. Much, very much is reserved for those who consciously know this and permit Me, the Impersonal One within, to do the teaching. For I will not only teach you many things through the mouths of those nearest you, but I will teach those others similarly through you,—but with this difference: if you are conscious of Me and Impersonally are resting in Me and My Wisdom, then you will permit Me to inspire your words and to empower your acts, and you will not be concerned about their effects upon others or upon yourself, putting all responsibility upon Me. 

{Yes.}

When you can do this, you will marvel at the changes you see taking place, both in your personality and in the personalities of your dear ones—until you are able to see, back of their human personalities, Me,  your own Impersonal Self, shining from out their eyes. 

{Yes!}

When you can thus see Me, then will the heavens be opened unto you, and no more will you see flaws in your brother, or hear disharmony around you, or feel unkindness coming from any other fellow being. For you will know that I, the Impersonal One, within that other, AM the fount of all perfection, of all harmony, of all loving-kindness, and wait but for the human personality to make the recognition, step submissively aside, and let My Light shine forth, resplendent in all the glory of My Divine Idea. 

{Yes, modified.}

Then will you see that all conditions in which I put you are the places I have chosen where you can best serve Me; that in all places and in all conditions there is much, very much to do. The more objectionable they are to the personality, the more need there is of My Living Presence. 

{Hmmm. Seems so.}

....

Both you who comprehend and you who fear, know that I AM even now manifesting My Will through you; and the time will surely come when you will know no other Will but Mine, and when all things You Will, will come to pass and you will awaken fully from your Dream of Separation, and know Me as your Real and Only Self. 

This will not be until you have given yourself and everything in your life wholly over to Me, and there is nothing left in  your human personality to attract from others the slightest inharmonious thought or feeling, by act or word of yours. 

Your way then will be one continuous round of blessing. Wherever you go will My Light shine and My Love radiate forth about you, creating Peace, Concord, Unity. The great thing will be, though not  great but natural when once you understand, that every one will be better and happier by reason of your appearance in their lives. 

For the I AM in them, while still in the flesh, has found or sensed within you a truly Impersonal avenue of expression, and therefore feels, though not consciously by the personality, the Glory and the Holiness of My Impersonal Life.

{Amen. So be it.}

​We Are One Being

In quantum theory, a quanta is sometimes referred to as an indivisible unit. Indivisible, in my mind, means borderless. I hold that self-existing pure consciousness, the First Cause, is the quanta and therefore everywhere present.

Where pure consciousness is, there is order and harmony. Life expands and thrives.

Where pure consciousness is not, aliveness shrinks and thus we have the true 'duality' of earth, the presence and absence of pure consciousness.

How could there be anyplace pure consciousness (One Being, O.B.) is not, when O.B. is everywhere?  One place it is possible is in human awareness (h.a.) which blocks pure consciousness by focusing on limiting thoughts and whatever else hinders the free-flow of O.B., the True Self of all.

O.B. is present, even in human awareness. But of this h.a. is totally unaware.

Nature, the intelligent designer created by O.B.'s emanations of itself (the eternal quality of borderless love,) did not originally design earth and humanity to be as it is today. The earliest version of earth which included humankind, was more ethereal, fluid and borderless in the beginning. Then something happened, sometimes called the Fall.

Now, back to the borderless in quasi-quantum theory. When you put yourself at eye level with O.B., what do you see? Frequencies, of course, with no defined or stable borders between. But - there are distinctions between various frequencies. You might sense this as an enormous color spectrum and/or a symphony of sound. 

I imagine O.B.'s eye level as an ever unfolding kaleidoscope of creative intelligent wavicles, combining, adjusting, realigning and making new combinations to the rhythm of O.B.'s pulsing emanations.
Back again to the Fall, I submit that it was a fall of frequencies on earth in that a layer of reality was built upon a disturbed frequency, a shift from the harmonies of 432 hz to the discordance of 440 hz, so to speak. That underlying disturbance connects with forces who choose to be 'The Separated' and have an interest in keeping humanity discordant and powerless. The universe is full of life. 

The interference effectively blocks (as intense atmospheric conditions block radio waves)  human awareness from realizing the True Self and true nature of realities. 

The discordant frequencies also block human DNA from being fully activated and prevent Nature from unfolding its original design for earth and its inhabitants. Yes, Nature can be thwarted. Consider as one example the thwarted free flowing course of the Colorado River in the American Southwest.

​Thwarting Nature often has disastrous consequences. Nature also thwarts human activities at times with 'disturbances' such as the plasma bubbles that may have contributed to the communications outages during a 2002 Afghanistan battle as described below.

What to do about the disturbed/disturbing frequencies which have until now have thwarted the expansion of pure consciousness in human awareness? One version was to send a savior to override the mental disturbance which blocks human awareness. But it has been over two thousand years since that plan was implemented. Whether Y'shua, Jesus was a real person or not, whatever the actual story is, it has certainly influenced human history yet nothing significant has changed in human egos, the mentally fabricated separated self. 

Prophets of this day say we are in the midst of a shift in earth frequencies which supports the blossoming of human awareness. I sense this is so, while admitting to having a dose of wishful thinking. This is vague and non-committal, I know, like 'the universe is full of life,' but towards 'The Shift,' I say at this stage of my unfolding, 'something is happening.' How it actually looks as it unfolds is an ongoing mystery.

Of this I am sure, there is nothing to 'do,' no rituals, ceremonies or exercises to perform as none will affect the opening. There is only to 'be,' as the new receptivity of h.a. towards pure consciousness is a natural happening which cannot be forced. Be receptive to the in-filling of pure consciousness into your center of awareness and tune your body/mind to the harmonies of We Are One Being.

'Let pure consciousness fill my awareness.'

'Let only that which belongs to the Original Design manifest on earth.'

'Any harm is self harm.'

'All healing is self healing.'

''Dispel the Illusion' is the name of the game.''

Is Quanta Indivisible?

Following is an online dialogue from the Cosmoquest Forum [2]
​
If any of the participants prefer not to be quoted here, or can illuminate my ideas, please contact me.

The dialogue was started by Participant 1, a1call, with the question, 'Is quanta indivisible?':

P 1: 'There was a time when Atoms were believed indivisible.

*- Is/Are Quanta indivisible?
*- If so on what basis?

Thank you in advance.' - a1call

P. 2: 'The key point to recognize with this type of question, as with so many fundamental questions about physics, is that the answer can only be given within the context of any particular theory -- not in reality (reality questions have to be phrased in terms of the behavior of some real system in some real situation, i.e., an experiment). It sounds like you are asking for a theoretical answer to a fundamental question about reality, and that is not possible. However, you could ask about some particular theory, and how quanta are treated in that theory. Typically, quanta are indivisible within any theory that invokes them, but quanta are allowed to be created and destroyed in many such theories.' - Ken G

P. 3: 'It is currently believed that quarks and leptons are the fundamental units of matter.

'Quarks have six types, or "flavors:" Up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom, with the charm, strange, top, and bottom being highly unstable, leaving the up and down to form nearly all matter in the known universe.

'The up and down quarks form protons and neutrons.

'Leptons include electrons, muons, and the tau lepton. Electrons you know about. Muons are produced by very high energy cosmic rays, which hit atomic nuclei of air atoms in the upper atmosphere, creating pions, which decay into muons. If you're out and about on a sunny day, you're bombarded with around 2,000 muons each minute. They can penetrate several meters through solid rock, so most just go through you.

'The tau lepton, also called the tauon, may exist in nature, but has only been observed (that I know of, anyway) in colliders, as it's highly unstable, with a lifetime of just 2.9×10^-13 seconds.' - mugaliens

P.4: Hi a1call.... there is a difference between fundamental particles and a quantum or quanta. Fundamental particles are thought to be structureless, i.e. they cannot be divided but they are not thought of as quantum particles. Maybe there will be a quantum particle discovered that unifies the forces but as yet Grand Unification Theory is still a dream.

If a quantum particle, often referred to as the God particle is ever discovered then it might be defined as the smallest energy increment that can have a meaningful impact on the universe. If it were to be divided it would not be able to have any impact and would be meaningless.... - Bogie

Describing matter (an ontological meditation) [3]

Can you describe matter? Can you tabulate the distinctive qualities this thing has that makes it specifiable as just this thing and none else. I find it extremely hard to describe matter. The moment I describe it as colored, it's transparence as water or glass suddenly comes up. The moment I try to label it as solid dark clumps, sky blue air and plasma burst forth in luminous hues. Fire is matter. Electricity is matter. What the hell is matter made of? Just quarks they say--pure particulate structures not reducible to anything else. But what does that even mean? Pure particles without substance? Geometical forms without content? With description there is always the possibility of comparison. But when you're talking matter, what else is there to compare it to that can clarify its being to us? It is the assumed substrate for all our sensory-projected constructs. Tangible and intangible, visible and invisible, localized and ubiquitous, animate and inanimate, it defies all our attempts to pin it down. It is all these things, and if there is anything to dark matter and bose-einstein condensates, probably much much more besides.

Naturally this meditation enlarges what we mean by physical reality. For if matter is such an inexplicable generalization or indeterminate variable, a sublime and power-packed substance that is both everywhere and nowhere at once, what do we even mean by physical any more? Is the distinction between mind and matter useful to us? Was it ever real to begin with? Abstractions within abstractions all the way down. That's how you know you're in a construct.​
Quantum

'In physics, a quantum (plural: quanta) is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. Behind this, one finds the fundamental notion that a physical property may be "quantized," referred to as "the hypothesis of quantization".[1] This means that the magnitude of the physical property can take on only certain discrete values....

'As incorporated into the theory of quantum mechanics, this quantization of the energy of electrons and the resulting implications are regarded by physicists as part of the fundamental framework for understanding and describing nature.' - Wikipedia article on Quantum

After this and one more chapter, the Whole Human blog posts on 'The Impersonal Life' will be complete.

My focus will shift after the ending post on 'The Impersonal Life.'

What happens next is an unfolding mystery. A writer's/yoga retreat is my ideal.

Someone has an unused cabin or cottage or piece of land suitable for a meditative life, and sees the opportunity of making it available to a writer for a year. If that is you, please drop me a note over the contact page.

At the end of this post is the remarkable story of a reader's experience with extended spatial awareness, and a survey/call for your story.
​The Impersonal Life, Chapter XVII
FINDING ME

....

If you have learned to “Be Still,” if you have studied and meditated upon this “I” as God within you, if you are able to distinguish It from the personal I, and are conscious at times of being able to step outside, as it were, of your personality and view your human self as it is....

If you can do all this and have seen these things with clear vision, know that at those moments you have been One with Me in consciousness, that it was your Real Self, I within you, permitting you thus to see with My Eyes the Reality of things. 

At those moments you were freed from your personality and were dwelling in My Consciousness, call it Cosmic, Universal, Spiritual or Impersonal Consciousness, as you will; for you could not have seen these things in your self except through Impersonal eyes, My Eyes.

Again, if you will look back you will recall many times when you felt strongly impelled to do certain things, some of which you did, with perfect results...

This impelling consciousness was only your Real Self, I within you, at such moments guiding you, distinctly telling you what to do. At those moments you were hearing with your Spiritual ears, My Ears, and when you Impersonally obeyed, success and satisfaction followed, but when you personally thought you knew better, discomfiture, regret and unhappiness resulted. 

Again, there have been moments when you have felt approaching events, or the nearness of unseen persons, or inharmonious vibrations when contacting others.

This is only the real You feeling with your Spiritual or Impersonal Body, whose consciousness, did you but know it, is ever on the alert to protect and warn and advise you regarding all outer things, conditions and events. 

The best and surest way you may know Me is when Selfless Love fills your heart, and there is a strong, compelling urge to help some one, to heal their ills, to relieve their suffering, to bring them happiness, to point out the True Way,—that is the actual feel of Me within you, pushing the personality aside, using your mind and body for the purpose I created them, as avenues for the expression of My Real Nature, which is Perfect Love, the Christ of God, the one, vitalizing, quickening, life-giving, strengthening, healing, all-supplying, all-informing Power in the Universe. 

All this is pointed out to you in order to impress upon you that it is I, in your Spiritual body, the Perfect Body within, where I dwell, Who AM always thus talking to you, advising you, teaching you, warning and helping you, in all the affairs of life, yes, in every little detail.

Ah, My child, if you will spend but one tenth of the time and energy you have wasted in seeking without among the husks of human knowledge and human teachings, in earnest, determined efforts directed within to find Me; 

If you will devote but one hour each day thus to Me alone, imagining and practicing the Presence of Me within you; 

I here promise you that you will not only soon, very soon find Me, but I will be to you an exhaustless fount of such Wisdom and Strength and Help, as your human mind now cannot possibly conceive.  
 
Yes, if you will but seek Me thus, making Me FIRST in your life, never resting until you do find Me, it will not be long before you will become conscious of My Presence, of My Loving Voice, speaking constantly from out of the depths of your heart.

You will learn to come to Me in Sweet Communion, and you will find yourself abiding in My consciousness, and that My Word is abiding in you, and that whatever you desire will in seemingly miraculous ways be done unto you. 

This abiding continually in Me may be difficult at first, for the World, the Flesh and the Devil are still presenting evidence to your consciousness. But you will become accustomed to the use of My Impersonal Eyes, and will soon be able to see into the Reality of things, even into the Reality of these seeming Lords of the Earth. Then  you will find you are dwelling in a wondrous new World, peopled with Angelic Beings, using the Flesh bodies of Their human personalities merely as vehicles, or instruments, or clothing, in which to contact the earthly conditions and experiences They have created, in order to develop the Soul qualities necessary for the perfect expression on earth of My Idea. 
 
To your eyes then there will be no shadows, no evil, and consequently no Devil; for all is Light and Love, Freedom, Happiness and Peace, and you will see Me in all, in each Being some attribute of Me, in  each animate thing some phase of Me; and you will need only to let My Love shine from out your heart and It will illumine for you the Real meaning of all that you see. 

Then the great Realization will come that you have found the Kingdom of God, that you are walking in It, that It is right here on this earth, that It is manifesting all around you, that you have been living in It all the time, but you did not know it;

That instead of being without in some far off place, It is within your own being, within every other being, the innermost inner of all manifested things. 

In other words, It will be found to be the REALITY of ALL things, and that all outward seeming is but the shadow of this Reality, created by man’s misconceptions and his belief in his separateness from Me. 

When you have found The Kingdom, you will likewise find your place in It, realizing now that you are in truth one of My Divine Attributes, that your work was all laid out for you from the beginning, and that all that has gone before has been but a preparation and a fitting of your human personality for that work. 

Your whole Soul will leap with joyful anticipation, that, after all these many years of wandering, you have at last returned to My Home, and can now enter into My Real Life, One in Consciousness with Me and with your other Selves, all working to bring about the final perfect expression on earth of My Divine Idea.

You who have begun to realize I AM within, but have not yet learned to commune with Me, listen and learn now. 

You have learned to “Be Still,” and you have perhaps felt My Presence within. If so, realizing I AM there, ask Me a question. Then, with a silent, earnest prayer to Me for an answer, but without anxiety, care or personal interest, and with an open mind, wait confidently for the impressions that will come. 
 
Should a thought come in answer that you recognize as what you have heard or read somewhere, cast it out immediately, and say, “No. Father, what do you say?”

Other thoughts may come from other human sources, but if you are alert you will recognize them as such and refuse to accept them. Then if you persist in asking Me, you will finally get an answer that you will feel is really from Me. 

Thus it will be at first. When you have learned to distinguish My Voice from all other voices, and can keep your personal interest wholly suppressed, then will you be able to hold silent communion with Me at will, without interference from others’ ideas, beliefs, and opinions; and you can ask any question you wish, or another can ask you any question on any problem on which they need help, and I will that moment place in your mind the words to speak, either silently to yourself, or audibly through your tongue to the other. 

....

Be still! And KNOW,—I AM,—GOD. 

KNOW I AM in you. KNOW I AM You. KNOW I AM your LIFE. KNOW All Wisdom, All Love, All Power abides in this Life, which is flowing freely through your entire being NOW. 

I AM the LIFE, I AM the INTELLIGENCE, I AM the POWER in all Substance,—in all the cells of your body; in the cells of all mineral, vegetable and animal matter; in fire, water and air; in Sun, Moon and Stars. I AM that in you and in them which IS. Their consciousness is One with your consciousness, and All is My Consciousness. Through My Consciousness in them All that they have or are is yours— for the asking. 

Speak to them then IN MY NAME. Speak in the Consciousness of your Oneness with Me. Speak in the Consciousness of My Power in you and of My Intelligence in them.  

Speak—COMMAND what You WILL in this Consciousness,—and the Universe will rush to obey. 

RISE UP! O aspirant for union with Me. Accept now your Divine Heritage! Open wide your Soul, your mind, your body, and breathe in My Breath of Life! 

KNOW that I AM filling you full to overflowing with My Divine POWER, that every fibre, every nerve, every cell, every atom of your being is now consciously ALIVE with Me, alive with My Health,  with My Strength, with My Intelligence with My BE-ING! 

For I AM within you. We are not separated. We could not possibly be separated. For I AM You. I AM your REAL Self, your REAL Life and I AM manifesting My  SELF and ALL MY POWERS in you   NOW. 

AWAKE! Rise up and assert your Sovereignty! KNOW your SELF and your POWERS! KNOW that all I have is yours, that My Omnipotent LIFE is flowing through you, that you can take of IT and build with IT what you WILL, and IT will manifest for you as Health, Power, Prosperity, Union, Happiness, Peace,—anything you WILL of ME.

Imagine this. THINK it. KNOW it! Then, with all the Positiveness of your nature, Speak the Creative WORD! It will not return to you void. 

But know, Beloved, that this cannot be until you have come to Me in complete and utter surrender, until you have given yourself, your substance, your affairs, your Life into My keeping, putting all care and responsibility upon Me, resting and trusting in Me absolutely. 

When you have done this, then will the above Words quicken into active life My Divine Powers latent in your Soul, and you will be conscious of a Mighty FORCE within you, which, just to the extent that you abide in Me, and let My Words abide in you, will free you entirely from your Dream World, will quicken you fully in Spirit, will make all the way clear for you, supply all things you desire, and lift trouble and suffering from you forevermore. Then will there be no more doubts and questionings, for you will KNOW that I, God your very Self, will always provide, will always point out the way; for You will have found that You and I are One.

A Reader's Experience of Extended Spatial Awareness


Gary,

​Since a quite young age (15-16) I've been reading books about self-help, Buddhism and mindfulness but I never really understood what it was about. On an intellectual level I found that a lot of it, if not all, was very true and aligned with how I chose to think about life and the little experiences I'd had to that date. I guess that the need for this came out of a lot of self-reflection and self-awareness.

I stumbled upon a book with Eckhart Tolle in 2012, ”The Power of Now”, which for me, had a very clear message with the combination of eastern and western philosophies and also practical ways of using it.

In 2013 I went to a Vipassana retreat for 10 days and that gave me peace and balance for those days but when I came back to my normal life, nothing had really changed. I had brief experiences of ”higher” levels of awareness of my surroundings, a little bit like being on psychedelic mushrooms which I tried on occasions in my youth (I´m 29 now, still young I guess...)

What really changed it for me was during an evening in 2014. I was watching a dialogue with Eckhart Tolle and Bradley Holowitz from Google having a conversation about the information technology, mindfulness and how they could work together.

Eckhart has a very peaceful demeanor and the way he talks and brings his thoughts forward really resonates with me and I was really focused on what he was saying in the video. He mentioned something like ”the moment that is occurring right now is the only moment that ever existed and ever will exist.” There something happened for me, everything in my surroundings kind of came to life, paintings, guitars, the bed I was laying on, my clothes, breathing etc, and I felt an extended ”spacial awareness” of the things around me. I was no longer outside my body, trapped in thoughts, trapped in this movie that was/is my life that´s been going on repeat since as long as I could remember.

This moment lasted for maybe 2-3 seconds, but that was enough, the light was switched on and I could not turn it off again.

There is a word in Zen Buddhism that, to my knowledge, is called Satori or Kensho, which I think applies to that moment. It is an awakening, or an insight into one's true nature.

The day after I felt very peaceful and I had to tell everyone about it! But how could I ever describe this feeling? For me this was the essence of mindful(less)ness, this was the observer, completely detached from my own thoughts, just being in the moment and not putting labels on anything, no judging, no thoughts, just pure awareness.

No one understood what I was talking about obviously, since none of my friends or family is really into this sort of ”thing” which for me is the most interesting subject of them all since it is primordial to everything, ever.

I haven´t had that powerful feeling again, but for me that is ok, because if I start thinking about wanting it or needing it would be counter-productive, because in the now there is no wanting, there is no need, it just is. My intellectual ”self” obviously wants to be ”there” all the time ... knowing that I have thoughts and seeing them, observing them without judgement and just letting them pass like clouds on a blue sky, knowing that the awareness in itself is the observer and that is who I am....

Linus,

Thank you for sharing your experience. Spreading the word of such experiences raises social consciousness and supports others to take steps towards living from the True Nature, which I call O.B., the One Being.

In response to your last paragraph, as a suggestion, imprint these words into your awareness: "We are One Being."

We - all that is
are - in the present moment
one - single, self-existing
being - of pure consciousness

When anything which hinders arises, such as jealousy, judgment, resistance, defense or control, over-ride or balance it with 'We are one being.'

​Let me know how it goes.

Gary
This is a call for stories of expanded consciousness, satori, awakening, feeling of a 'higher' presence, communication with the inner voice or other such experiences. Please drop a note to me from the contact page. - Gary

After this and two more chapters, the Whole Human blog posts on 'The Impersonal Life' will be complete.

These posts have provided me with more insights and realizations than imagined when the writing began on Chapter 1.

My focus will shift after the ending post on 'The Impersonal Life.'

I feel to put more emphasis on applying to my actions and attitudes the deep knowing that We are One Being.

​What happens next is an unfolding mystery. A writer's/yoga retreat is my ideal.

We will see.
The Impersonal Life, Chapter XVI
The CHRIST AND LOVE
    
To you who fear that My Words may destroy your belief in and love for the Lord Jesus Christ, I say: 

Nearly two thousand years ago, when the process of the expression of My Idea had reached the stage where I could show forth some of My Divine Reality, in order to do this and to recall to My human Attributes their mission on earth, it became necessary to express through a human personality and to manifest in a human form My Divine Attributes, so their human minds and intellects could see and remember and be inspired by Me within to let My Idea similarly express through and manifest in their human personalities.

This I did through the personality of Jesus, the man of Galilee, picturing to the human understanding by My Teachings given through Him, and by My Life manifested by Him, what was necessary in order to express fully My Divine Idea.

I showed, by the experiences of a symbolic nature through which I caused His human personality I created for such purpose to pass, what all personalities must pass through before you, My human Attributes, who created these personalities, can again become Impersonal enough to be conscious expressers with Me of My Divine Idea.
Is it still true that all personalities must pass through experiences of a symbolic nature based on the life of Jesus the Christ?

Or is that information by now out-dated?

The age is upon us wherein each person who reaches out from a sincere heart to O.B., the creative source, and listens with an 'empty mind,' will be answered directly (without need for intermediaries of any kind.)

We are One Being.
You heretofore have not known the meaning of the Impersonal Life, hence you could not know the meaning of Impersonal Love. 

Love to you, if you will carefully analyze that feeling, has always been a human emotion or expression; and you have been unable to conceive of a love devoid of or unattached to some human or personal interest. 

Now, as you begin to feel Me within your heart and open it wide to contain Me, will I fill you with a wondrous strange new feeling, which will quicken every fibre of your being with the creative instinct,  and be to you a veritable Elixir of Life. 

For in the outer expression of that feeling, when I thus, through you, pour it forth into the world, will you taste of the unutterable sweetness of My Holy Impersonal Love, with Its accompanying illumination of mind and consciousness of unlimited Power; and It will make you a wholly selfless and therefore perfect channel for the Impersonal expression of My Divine Idea. 

You will then realize that you are part of Me and part of every other being, and that all you have or are, is not yours, but Mine, for Use wherever and however I direct.

Your life will no longer be centered in your self, but that self will be lost, merged in your other Selves, giving freely of your Life, your Understanding, your Strength, your Substance, which are but phases of My Impersonal Life or My Impersonal Love, that I have portioned out to you only for such use. 

In the personality of Jesus, the Christ, I manifested much of the Love Impersonal, enough to inspire and lead you into seeking to emulate His Life and His Personality, and, through such seeking and striving, to awaken in you the Consciousness of the Christ within you. Through this awakening and the realization that the Christ is but   the channel or door that opens unto Me, I have finally brought you to the point where you can enter in and consciously become a part of My Impersonal Life. 
...

As you give up your self wholly to Me that I can pour through you My Holy, Impersonal Love, having no other thought than the perfect expression of that Love, which is My Real Life, then will I through you be enabled to quicken and awaken those about you gradually to a recognition of Me, The Christ within them, so that   they too will likewise give up their selves wholly to Me. Finally the organ, or that particular part of My Body of Humanity you and they form, attains perfect health and harmony, and adds its quota to the bringing about and maintaining of perfect health in My entire Body. 

When such time comes, My Divine Life Force, or My Impersonal Love, will be flowing and manifesting throughout all Humanity, and My Idea will be expressing fully on earth even as It is in Heaven. The earth and all earthly bodies will no longer be of the gross physical material they formerly seemed, but they will have become utterly purified and cleansed of the self, and will have been again lifted up to whence they descended. For the purpose of their creation, that of developing organisms for the outward manifestation and human expression of My Divine Idea, will have been accomplished; and having no further use for physical or outward mediums of such expression, I hereafter will create and express only with Mind Substance, which is the only medium needed  in the Heavenly World of the Impersonal Life.

Masters (Ch. 15 of 'The Impersonal Life')

The Impersonal Life, Chapter XV
MASTERS

You, who are still holding to the idea, taught in various teachings, that I will provide a “Master” or Divine Teacher for each aspirant towards union with Me, hear My Words. 

It is true I have permitted you in the past to delve into all kinds of mystical and occult books and teachings, encouraging  your secret desire to acquire the powers necessary to attain this union extolled in such teachings, even to the extent of quickening in you some slight consciousness of the possession of such powers. 

I have even permitted the belief that by practicing certain exercises, breathing in a certain way, and saying certain mantrams, you might attract to you a “Master” from the unseen, who would become your teacher and help you to prepare for certain initiations that would admit you into an advanced Degree, in some secret Order in the inner planes of existence, where much of My Divine Wisdom would be opened up to you.

I have not only permitted these things, but, if you can see it, it was I who led you to these books, inspired in you such desire, and caused such belief to find lodgment in your mind;—but not for the purpose you imagine. 

Yes, I have brought you through all these teachings, desires and beliefs, trying to point out to your human mind the  Forces I use to bring into expression My Divine Idea. 

I have portrayed these Forces as heavenly Hierarchies, and that your human intellect might the better comprehend, I pictured them as Angels or Divine Beings, Impersonal agents or executors of My Will, engaged in the process of bringing into expression My Idea that was in the beginning. 

But you did not understand. 

Your human intellect, enamored of the possibility of meeting and communing with one of these beings, as claimed in some of the teachings, proceeded at once to personalize Them, and began to long for Their appearance in your life, imagining that They are interested in your human affairs, and that by living in accordance with certain rules set down in certain teachings, you could propitiate Them so They would help you to gain Nirvana or Immortality. 

Now I have purposely permitted you to indulge yourself with such delusions, letting you long, and pray, and strive earnestly to obey all the instructions given; even leading you on, sometimes, by giving you glimpses, in self-induced visions and dreams, of ideal beings, which I permitted you to believe were such “Masters.” 

I may even have caused to open in you certain faculties, which make it possible for you to sense the presence of personalities that have passed into the spirit side of life, and who have been attracted by your desires and seek to fulfill the part of Master and Guide to you. 

Now the time has come for you to know that such beings are not Masters, also that Divine Beings do not call themselves Masters; that I, and I alone, your own Real  Self, AM the only Master for you now, and until you are able to know Me also in your brother;— 

That any being, either in human or spirit form, that presents himself to your consciousness and claims to be a Master, or who permits you to call him Master, is nothing more nor less than a personality, the same as yours, and therefore is not Divine, as your human mind understands that term, despite the many wonderful “truths” he may utter, and the “marvelous” things he may do. 

Just so long as your human mind seeks or worships the idea of a Master in any other being, no matter how lofty or sacred he may seem to you, just so long will you be fed with such ideas; until, verily, I may perhaps, permit you to meet and commune with such a “Master.” 

If that “privilege” is vouchsafed you, it will be only in order to hasten your awakening and your consequent disillusionment, when you will learn that “Master” is indeed but a personality, even though far more advanced in awakening than you,   but still a personality—and not the Divine One your innermost Soul is yearning for you to know. 

For I feed you with every idea that will operate to teach you the reality back of the seeming, and if I lead you on to apparent deception and loss of faith in all human teachings, and in all human and even Divine perfection, it is only to enable you the more clearly to distinguish between the substance and the shadow, and to prepare you for that far higher Ideal I am waiting  to picture to you. 

You can rise in your human personality only to the ideal your human mind is capable of conceiving....

You, who have risen above Desire, you who no longer seek a Master or a Teacher, or even Me, but are abiding alone in the faith of My Eternal Presence and Promise, —for you I have in store a meeting and a communion, which will bring to your Soul such joy and blessings as your human mind is incapable of conceiving.
​
....

Why seek in human or spirit teacher, guide, master or angel, for the necessarily limited manifestation of My Perfection, when you can come directly to Me, God within you, the Omniscient, Omnipotent, Omnipresent, the Inspiring Idea back of and within All manifestations? 

As I AM in You, even as I AM in any you seek, and as all the Wisdom, all the Power and all the Love they possess come only from Me, why not now come to Me, and let Me prepare you also so I can express My All through You? 

You are a human personality, yet You are Divine and therefore Perfect. 

The first of these truths you believe, the latter you do not believe. Yet both are true.—That is the mystery. 

You are just what you think You are.  

...

I speak with many voices,—with the voice of all human emotions, passions and desires. I speak with Nature’s voice, with the voice of Experience, even with the voice of human knowledge. 

Yes, these are all My Voice, which I use Impersonally to express to you the one fact, that I AM in All and that I AM All. What this Voice says, in Its thousand ways, is that you, too, are part of this All, and that I AM in you, waiting for your recognition of Me and your conscious cooperation in the expression of My Idea of Impersonal Perfection on earth, even as It is expressing in Heaven.  
 
When this recognition comes, and then only, are you ready to meet and know a real Master. Then and then only will you realize why I, your own Impersonal Self can be and AM the only possible Master of your human personality. 

....

When you have attained to that Consciousness, then only will you be worthy and qualified to know and commune with your fellows in the Great Brotherhood of the Spirit, Those who have mastered self and Who live only to help Their younger brothers also to find the Divine One within. 

If a being should come into your life who seemed to you Divine and who let you think or call him a Master, he is not yet wholly Impersonal. Such a one might be a master-man, but he would not be the Divine One your Soul yearns to serve. 

Perhaps you would be satisfied to have such a one for a Master, even if he were not wholly Impersonal. If so, then I would hereafter bring you to a realization of his personal imperfections by a constant comparison with My Impersonal Perfection; until you would finally turn and come to Me in complete abandon, acknowledging Me and My Impersonality as the only Model and Ideal, and as the true Cause which inspired your long search without for My Perfection, that could be found  only within, hidden deep within your own Soul.​

Shades of One

John Lennon imagined a world that lives as one.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

People are touched by this song and weep at its words. What changes?

...

Hands linked, people sway back and forth to the rhythm of the music, singing:

We are One in The Spirit, 
We are One in The Lord. 
We are One in The Spirit, 
We are One in The Lord. 
And we pray that all unity may one day be restored.

How long after the song will the singers remain in harmony with each other?

...

In the preamble to the United States Constitution, it is written: 'We the people, in order to form a more perfect union...'

In what ways are Americans a united people? Are the States 'a more perfect union'?

...

Dr. Amit Goswami, Theoretical Nuclear Physicist at the University of Oregon Institute of Theoretical Science said, 'If ordinary people really knew that consciousness and not matter is the link that connects us with each other and the world, then their views about war and peace, environmental pollution, social justice, religious values, and all other human endeavors would change radically.'

How so?

...

With all that is understood about interconnectedness, oneness, unity, union, where is it being lived?

Do any of those words express the most potent understanding of the underlying nature of reality?

Dictionary.com defines -

interconnectedness as 'the quality or condition of being interconnected; 
interrelatedness: the interconnectedness of all nations working toward world peace,' 

and about union says, 'something formed by uniting two or more things; combination,' 

and explains oneness as 'the fact or state of being unified or whole, though comprised of two or more parts.'

Emphasis is still placed on separate identities, linking hands and singing so to speak.

Then there is 'we are all made of the same God material' and 'we are one in Spirit.' What do those mean?

None of the above expresses the actuality, which can be stated in four words: 'We are one being.'

We - everything that is
are - in the present moment
one - single, self-existent
being - of pure consciousness

How would that understanding radically change views about war and peace, environmental pollution and so on?

When I truly feel the 'other' and myself as one being, my actions, attitudes, behaviors and relationships cannot stay the same.

On morning walks with Aura I sometimes think, 'We are one being,' feeling not only Aura but everything in my perceptual range. As I allow the feeling of the thought to settle in, borders fade into the background. Knowing we are one being, I cannot hold onto judgment towards anything or anyone, nor can I be automatically reactive, participate in 'taking' competition or let enter my field anything else that hinders the flow and expansion of consciousness. I am naturally attracted to what supports and nurtures thriving life.

That's all for this Now, there's more in the next. Below is an article which presents a systems thinking perspective and caught my eye.
Rediscovering Nature’s Paradigm, Part I
Posted on February 26, 2014
​by Christopher Chase

Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment of time is related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection of the whole. Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you look around yourself carefully, you may notice that our Universe consists of a unified network of systems nestled within systems. Your physical body is composed of various organ systems, each maintained by groups of cells, molecules and atoms. Our families and social communities are embedded in ecosystems, the biosphere, the solar system, our galaxy and the universe.
​
From this perspective, human beings are as much a part of nature as the oceans, trees, and stars. What’s more, there seem to be certain patterns and processes which occur in natural systems everywhere, guiding the development of individuals and galaxies alike.

The ideas in systems theory are based on careful observations of natural phenomena. They tell us how nature works, how all things fit together into larger systems and communities. Its concepts refer as much to cells and solar systems as to nations, corporations and basketball teams.

While many of the words and concepts of systems theory are new, systems thinking is not. Systems thinking is a way of looking at the world ecologically and holistically, where one focuses on patterns, connections and processes, and how seemingly separate things form coherent wholes.

Systems thinkers have been with us since ancient times, providing wisdom and guidance in all cultures and every area of human activity. Some of the ideas presented here have their roots in ancient Greece, or in Eastern systems of thought, such as Taoism or Zen.

Many indigenous communities have long had an awareness of the way nature’s systems worked. They observed their environments carefully, watching the ways animals lived, how the natural world moved in cycles and patterns. Elaborate myths and rituals have helped native people to align themselves with the rhythms and processes of nature, to feel a part of their local worlds.

On the other hand, many civilized societies have moved away from a feeling of connectedness with nature, and an understanding of nature’s ways. In the West, we have developed more dualistic ways of thinking, classifying and categorizing everything in the world. Our cities and communities both reflect and influence this thinking. Ours is a world of walls, boxes, and roads, of separation and specialization. Our social institutions are organized by a more mechanistic and linear paradigm, a less organic beat.

As the industrial revolution took hold in communities across the globe we have used this paradigm to organize all areas of our lives. In our educational institutions we have removed children from their families and natural surroundings. We have put them together in rooms and then asked a single adult to provide them with disconnected facsimiles of the world, to divide external reality into separate fields such as art, science, language, and history. What is often ignored in this approach is the way these different phenomena are related, how things often flow together and influence one another.

In a field like science the natural world has been further divided into pieces. When we were young we studied biology, chemistry, physics, and geology– as if each field existed separately from the others. We never received a coherent picture of the world that reflected the way nature actually organizes things, how these phenomena are related to one another and play a role in each individual’s life.

Lacking a unified understanding of nature, our scientists and educators have often used very misleading metaphorical language in order to describe the world. Over the last few hundred years, leading Western scientists have talked about nature as if she were a woman to be dominated, a mindless machine, a struggle for survival, or (at best) a “glorious accident.” These metaphors have influenced the way modern nations have dealt with internal social problems, other communities, and the natural world.

Our beliefs and metaphors for reality are conceptual tools. They help us create images and representations in our mind that we hope will reflect the way the world is actually organized. While these metaphors help to focus our attention on certain things they can also screen out and ignore a lot of information that is important. Over time our thinking has become increasingly rigid and reductionistic, frequently separating phenomena into fixed categories such as “us and them,” or “smart and dumb.”

In the United States, social or physical problems have often been viewed as adversaries people must struggle with or declare war upon. This dualistic thinking underlies the approaches we’ve taken toward poverty, drug abuse, cancer, and crime. It has sent missles firing into Viet Nam, Lebanon, Panama, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. In most cases our wars have been ineffective, created new problems, or simply ignored the resulting violence and suffering caused.

Yet, while this hard-edged thinking may be out of touch with the organic complexities of natural phenomena, it has provided the key to the development of sophisticated tools, mathematics, and machines. New inventions (like the microscope, the camera, the steam engine and the computer) pushed change and shaped the unfolding patterns of mechanistic civilizations. They also allowed scientists to observe the rhythmic functioning of atoms, organs, and cells; to glimpse the history of our planets and the stars.

It is in this careful and methodical examination of the natural world that modern systems theory developed. Today we have detailed information about almost everything in the observable universe. We also have a large body of words, concepts and theories that describe how all these things fit together, how these systems provide evidence of certain recurring processes and patterns in the natural world. Setting out initially to classify and categorize nature, science has now brought us full circle, rediscovering Nature’s Paradigm.

Being O.B.

8/10/2016

0 Comments

 
Once upon the present moment, there is a being named O.B. Though, O.B. goes by many names.

O.B. is what is, the all that is, the I AM of everything.

One way to say where O.B. lives is Within. 

Where do you look when you look within? You can close the eyes and in a headspace sense your body from the inside. Or you can feel what is within the room and then feel what is within each thing in the room, which is atoms.

Within each atom there are particles. Some say the Higgs Boson within a particle is the 'God particle.' It is not, as it decays. 

O.B., constant and self-existent, is inside and outside the particles, infinitesimal yet as vast as all dimensions and all universes. Nothing real exists without O.B.

Can you imagine being border-less? The consciousness which holds everything in existence and is common to all, passes through all borders and is not contained. 

As the first cause within all fields, O.B. cannot be detected as a result of other forces or laws.

What does O.B. do?

Anyone can ask O.B. questions for themselves, and O.B. will answer directly. All that is needed is a mind free of preconceived ideas, a heart open to listen and trust in oneself. If an answer seems from other than a pure source of truth, let it go and ask again until the answer sets well and feels sure.

O.B., what do you do?

I emanate what I AM.

How do humans experience what you emit?

Humans have not yet experienced what I AM. The closest word in human language is love.

There are so many ideas and interpretations of love.

I AM the emitter of a constant oscillating frequency of the universal, impersonal love which sets in motion all laws, force, waves, particles and mysteries of Nature. Humans experience dilutions of the frequency through acts of compassion and kindness, unconditional giving, empathy and care, valor and natural authority — everything which is effectively life-affirming.

I've experienced you, O.B., in moments of blissful expansion. But, for someone who exists everywhere, humans seem to experience you so little.

I AM exists everywhere real. Yet I AM is not where awareness of me is blocked. 

Yes, I see distinct differences between human activities where you are present and where you are absent from awareness. 'What is not' defines in some measure 'what is.' Then, O.B., is that why you set everything in motion? So you could know yourself?

I AM is self-existent and self-aware. Wants and needs are human terms. I have no needs or wants. My core is border-less love, the nature of which is to emanate and express itself. It gives what it is. My emanations originated and sustain Nature as the designer of my expressive body. Nature, experimenter that she is, designed corporeal humans as individuated units of consciousness with potential to be True Self-aware.

What hinders humans from being True Self-aware?

The fabrications and strongholds of the conditioned and collective mind. Remember, however, that the strongholds are only so strong as the beliefs behind them.

Is this the dark glass, the mirror of which Paul wrote?

Meanings are many. Humans give meaning each from their own perspective. One metaphorical application of the dark glass is the conditioned and collective human mind, yes. 'The Impersonal Life' offers an understanding of how and why humans are in their current dark glass state and how you can live from me, your True Self.

When I see you face to face, O.B., what will I see? How will I know you?

You see me face-to-face now, in this moment. Allow your awareness to accept my presence. Knowing me is an endless exploration. Now know this:

We are One Being.
Quotes

"If ordinary people really knew that consciousness and not matter is the link that connects us with each other and the world, then their views about war and peace, environmental pollution, social justice, religious values, and all other human endeavors would change radically."
— Dr. Amit Goswami, Theoretical Nuclear Physicist, University of Oregon Institute of Theoretical Science

"Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself. It has been defined as: sentience, awareness, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness and having a sense of selfhood.... Despite the difficulty in definition, many philosophers believe that there is a broadly shared underlying intuition about what consciousness is..." 

"Meditation, yoga, and nearly all transformational practices have, at a practical level, the core intent of transmuting the Human Instrument into a clearer and more coherent vehicle for the quantum field of Source Intelligence." - Andrew Cary

Lao Tzu asks,

“Can you step back from your own mind and thus understand all things? Giving birth and nourishing, having without possessing, acting with no expectations, leading and not trying to control: this is the supreme virtue.”
Collider

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful particle collider, the largest, most complex experimental facility ever built, and the largest single machine in the world....

The LHC's aim is to allow physicists to test the predictions of different theories of particle physics, high-energy physics and in particular, to further test the properties of the Higgs boson and the large family of new particles predicted by supersymmetric theories, and other unsolved questions of physics, advancing human understanding of physical laws.


Higgs Boson

As of March 2016, scientists are confident that they have discovered the existence of the Higgs boson, and therefore the concept of some type of Higgs field throughout space is highly supported. Further testing over the coming years should eventually tell us more about these, and is likely to have significant impact in the future


[2] Infinitesimal

In mathematics, infinitesimals are things so small that there is no way to measure them.... In common speech, an infinitesimal object is an object that is smaller than any feasible measurement, but not zero in size—or, so small that it cannot be distinguished from zero by any available means.


[4] Mirror

'For the present we see things as if in a mirror, and are puzzled; but then we shall see them face to face. For the present the knowledge I gain is imperfect; but then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.' 1 Corinthians 13:12, Weymouth New Testament

Love and Authority

After publishing the blog post on Authority from Chapter 13, these realizations came to me:

The resistance I've felt towards authority from youth until now — has not been against authority itself at all, but the misuse of authority. Resistance of this type is not useful, of course, even if it seems 'right,' and I am working on it or more accurately Life is working on me with my agreement.

Natural authority, vibrant with innate confidence, leadership, self-command and service to Life, is a beautiful thing. It is given by the original design of pure consciousness. However, when a person through role, rank or position twists social authority to control, dominate and feel superior, there is misuse and imbalance.

One way to say it is that natural authority is a life-affirming influence, an out-raying of the One Being. Like a sunbeam to the sun, authority frequencies beam from the essential nature of pure consciousness, which is universal love. O.B. is a borderless inner sun, the foundation of everything pulsing within the atoms, particles and wavicles. It is within each of us and the one true self of us all. 

Without awareness of the One Being/True Self, people given authority often turn it into a malfunction of society and a hindrance to the flow of living consciousness. In this sense, the universe is full of life, meaning the multi-verse of existence is populated on all dimensions for the self-expression of the One Being. When a person is aware and acts in alignment with it, authority supports the expansion and homeostasis of Life. 

On a Tiny Buddha forum, Greenshade started a thread titled 'Redefining love-beautiful read' [1].

Qualities such as authority can have a hindering or supportive effect on the flow of life, and the difference is the presence or absence of pure love.

​With Greenshade's permission, our forum dialogue to date follows.
July 31, 2016

GREENSHADE:

I read something beautiful online today that resonated with me, and thought you guys would appreciate it so sharing it here! It basically explores redefining love along these lines: 'Love blossoms virtually anytime two or more people — even strangers — connect over a shared positive emotion, be it mild or strong.'

The beautiful something is 'The Science of Love: How Positivity Resonance Shapes the Way We Connect: The neurobiology of how the warmest emotion expands your sense of self and blurs the boundaries by you and not-you.'  [2]


GARY:

Thank you for sharing the article link, Greenshade. This would be a subject for conversation over a cup of coffee or tea! It is a worthwhile exploration, to be sure.

I feel the author has presented a partial view based on a fairly narrow interpretation of love. The article says,

“Using both data from her own lab and ample citations of other studies, Fredrickson dissects the mechanisms of love to reveal both its mythologies and its practical mechanics.

“First and foremost, love is an emotion, a momentary state that arises to infuse your mind and body alike. Love, like all emotions, surfaces like a distinct and fast-moving weather pattern, a subtle and ever-shifting force.”

Greenshade, for me it is not mere semantics to gain a clear understanding of the word love. I would called the emotion described above arousal, passion, excitement or attraction — but not love. I like to keep the word love in its pure form as the constant, self-existing energy of creation that it is universally. Humans have rarely caught glimpses of love, except in transcendent moments of experiencing pure consciousness. It is well beyond emotion. But of course that is my perspective.

I agree that love expands the sense of self and blurs the boundaries by you and not-you. Just disagree that it is an emotion. Emotions get stirred when the universal energy of love is felt, but they are a side product and not love itself.

How do you feel about this?


GREENSHADE:

Hmm that is an interesting concept…I think I’m struggling a bit with separating the cause (love) and effect (emotion). My understanding of love has been as something very human and very mundane in how commonly it is felt but very unique in that it is how we manifest the divinity in all of us. I would love to hear more about your understanding of it, especially if you think its possible to acknowledge the cause and the effect it has on us as separate, if that makes sense.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply and share your thoughts, it is appreciated :)!


GARY:

You have started a forum conversation of limitless breadth and depth. I would 'love' to interact with you on the subject of "The Science of Love: How Positivity Resonance Shapes the Way We Connect."

I followed links from the article to a page titled, 'What is Love? [3], which is a collection of sayings. Browsing those quotes, it seems people are talking about very different things, and calling all of them love.

Another link took me to "How to Love: Legendary Zen Buddhist Teacher Thich Nhat Hanh on Mastering the Art of “Interbeing”. 

If I understand you correctly, you see love as the cause of the emotional response to it. And the emotional response to love is generally also called love.

If love is the cause and emotions are the effect, how do you mean "love" in this context? Are you referring to love as the attraction of one to another? And then after that, the feelings of completion, expansion, cherishing, companionship, friendship, loyalty, and so on? You wrote,

"My understanding of love has been as something very human and very mundane. It is commonly felt but very unique in that love is how we manifest the divinity in all of us."

I see how you understand it and agree that love becomes everyday in human activities and that pure love truly felt manifests the divinity in all of us.

Love in its original design is the essential nature of the One Being of pure consciousness which emits as oscillating high frequencies from its universal field. 

O.B. emanates itself, and fills and animates everything. O.B. is also the true self of each person and of all that is. This understanding is blocked from human awareness by social/environmental programming and the distortions of distance and density in the so-called 3D world. The distance and density mentioned are also illusory fabrications, made to feel very real in their effect. What we call love is a distortion of the emanations of O.B., normalized in fragmented human historical perspective. That is not to put down the experience humans call love. It appears to be the best we can do in this 'point in time.'

Re-reading your sentence to me, " I would love to hear more about your understanding of it, especially if you think its possible to acknowledge the cause and the effect it has on us as separate, if that makes sense ..."

The cause and effect of love on us are separate in one way and in another way not. The cause of love, the emanations of O.B., is separate in blocked human awareness from the emotions which arise in response to the filtered down stimulus of universal love. We then take this filtered down stimulus and do what we do with it, and call that love too.The cause and effect are not separate in that the One Being who emanates itself, love, is in actuality our true self.

Following are some quotes I picked up on my hyperlink hopping from the article you linked.

Best regards,

Gary

****

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything." - Katharine Hepburn, Me: Stories of My Life

Kurt Vonnegut, who was in some ways an extremist about love but also had a healthy dose of irreverence about it, in The Sirens of Titan: "A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved."

Stendhal in his fantastic 1822 treatise on love: "Love is like a fever which comes and goes quite independently of the will. … there are no age limits for love."

Ambrose Bierce, with the characteristic wryness of The Devil’s Dictionary:  "Love, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage."

:

At the heart of Nhat Hanh’s teachings is the idea that “understanding is love’s other name” — that to love another means to fully understand his or her suffering. (“Suffering” sounds rather dramatic, but in Buddhism it refers to any source of profound dissatisfaction — be it physical or psychoemotional or spiritual.) Understanding, after all, is what everybody needs — but even if we grasp this on a theoretical level, we habitually get too caught in the smallness of our fixations to be able to offer such expansive understanding.

Mediums and Mediators (Ch. 14 of 'The Impersonal Life')

8/3/2016

The Impersonal Life, Chapter XIV
MEDIUMS AND MEDIATORS

From the book, with my response:
....

Know likewise that I provide all minds with all their experiences of life, which I utilize solely to prepare the body, quicken the heart and develop the consciousness, so that they can comprehend Me, and so that  I can express through them My Idea.

{Whether O.B. has ideas or not, that is the question. Does the One Being of pure consciousness at the core of everything have ideas? Or, is O.B. primarily the activator and energizer of Nature — whose job is to design for the expansion and sustainability (homeostasis) of the multiverse, the vehicle of O.B.'s self-expression — and has ideas?}

....

Many of those whose minds I thus inspire with glimpses of Me and My Idea I cause to become teachers and leaders, organizing churches and societies and cults, drawing seekers and followers to them, that I, through the words I thus speak through them, can quicken the hearts and consciousness of those that are ready to recognize Me. 

I, the Impersonal One within, do all this, and the teachers and leaders personally do nothing, only serving as channels through which My Idea can express to the consciousness of those I draw to them for that purpose. 

For the mind is only a channel and the intellect an instrument, which I use Impersonally wherever and whenever necessary to express My Idea. Not until the heart has been quickened and has opened wide to contain Me can man, with his mortal mind and intellect, consciously comprehend My Meaning, when I express through him My Idea.

{Again this feels to me more a function of Nature's design, with all its laws and forces and mysteries — which serves O.B., the eternal fountain. But maybe they're in cahoots.}

....

Now, if you have had enough of teachings and teachers, and are sure that within you lies the Source of all Wisdom, these words will bring joy unspeakable to your heart. For do they not confirm that which you already have felt within to be true?

For you who cannot yet see this and still need a Mediator, I have provided the story of The Christ crucified for your redemption, picturing how I desire you to live  that, through the crucifixion of your personality, you may rise in consciousness to Oneness with Me. 

But to you who are strong enough to bear it, I say you need no mediator between you and Me, for we are One already. If you can but know it, you can come direct and at once to Me in consciousness....

To you who wonder how and why I say such beautiful and such spiritual things through personalities who fail to live up to the teachings they apparently of themselves give out, I say: 

I use all avenues Impersonally to express My Meaning.

{Amen, O.B.}

....

But whether I speak through Priest, Prophets or Messiah, or through a little child, or through your worst enemy, all words that appeal vitally to you are the word the I AM of You speaks through the organism of such medium to your Soul consciousness. 

{Organism as one focus, orgasm as another. The high frequency emissions of O.B. emanating itself are as a universal orgasm of Life.}}
