Perceptions (reminders to myself) • I am Source, having a human experience. • Source expresses the individual and collective simultaneously. • The sorrows of the world are due to the apparent disconnect (a 'misinterpretation'). • Essential is felt connection (a choice). • Be present to the Present. • Relax into the Flow of the Unknown. • Rest in the Fullness where there is no need. • Accepting 'what is' frees me to change it. • An eternal perspective makes all things more bearable. • Put on the Perfect Human. • Leave the brain and live from the Sphere. • The Sphere of Light is a well-developed soul. • However our perspectives may differ, they are always equally valid. • Who we are IS. • Misinterpretation of almost everything makes much havoc. • Life becomes so much simpler just by letting go of attachment to our (my) misinterpretations. • Smile with appreciation. * Dostoevsky once wrote, “In the absence of God, all things are permissible.” Dostoevsky also warned that “great events could come upon us and catch us intellectually unprepared.” This is what we are seeing today (although I might change it to 'psychospiritually unprepared.') Solzhenitsyn, commenting on the failures of communism, observed, “If I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.” The human word 'God' bears resemblance to the word 'Autism' in one sense. Like the Autism Spectrum Disorder, 'God' has a spectrum of meanings from the dualistic astral entities of the Old Testament to the ineffable essence of aliveness. Where one is on the God spectrum influences outcomes in a way similar to the autism spectrum, from 'low functioning' to 'high functioning.' Where I am in human functioning has to do with where God is on my spectrum of meaning and relationship. Neurologically, I am apparently on the autism spectrum with ASD1. 'Low' to 'high' does not correspond with 'bad' to 'good.' These terms designate qualities and characteristics and their spectrums are not linear. All is experience for Source which from my perspective does not judge. When the God of a people is an ideology like consumerism or communism, from history a likely outcome is brutality and violence. If humankind prefers a different future than its past, one choice would be a foundational lifestyle of Source consciousness. * Feedback is appreciated.

The decision to fall into the hole or go through the door is yours. If you consume information 24 hours a day, with negative energy, constantly nervous, with pessimism, you will fall into this hole. But if you take the opportunity to look at yourself, to rethink life and death, to take care of yourself and others, you will go through the door. Take care of your home, take care of your body. Connect with your spiritual home. When you take care of yourself, you take care of others at the same time. Do not underestimate the spiritual dimension of this crisis. Adopt the perspective of an eagle that sees everything from above with a broader vision. There is a social demand in this crisis, but also a spiritual demand. The two go hand in hand. Without the social dimension, we fall into fanaticism. Without the spiritual dimension, we fall into pessimism and futility. You are prepared to go through this crisis. Grab your toolbox and use all the tools at your disposal. Learn to resist by the example of the Indian and African peoples: we have been and continue to be exterminated. * But we never stopped singing, dancing, lighting fires and having joy. Don't feel guilty for feeling lucky in these difficult times. Being sad and without energy doesn't help at all. * Resilience is resilience through joy! You have the right to be strong and positive. You have to maintain a beautiful, cheerful and bright posture. This has nothing to do with alienation (ignorance of the world). It is a strategy of resistance. When we walk in the door, we have a new view of the world because we have faced our fears and difficulties. This is what you can do now: - Serenity in the storm, - Keep calm, meditate daily, - Make a habit of encountering the sacred every day. Demonstrate resilience through art, joy, trust and love." Benoit Couture Perfect Love casts out all fears ... The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge according to king Solomon. We get a good example of why this is so, when The Eternal addresses Israel at Mount Sinai, when Moses came down with the Law. After hearing God's voice, the people of Israel ... " they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” So like a moth needs to be careful about how close to the flame it gets, we too, need to fear God. Save me By Joan Armatrading https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfO7u0m-2nc Moses re-assured Israel saying: "“ Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before you, so that you MAY not sin. ”" The Eternal Beauty of Being Human begins when our fear OF God gets converted from biological to spiritual Reconciled in Communion with Creator... Speaking of Christ, John writes: "" Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us. "" ... then, it no longer to fear God but to share into the fear of God's Fatherhood for His creation in whom His image comes to Life with Love's Oneness to cast out all fears ... Gary Benoit Couture - However our perspectives may differ, they are always equally valid. Are you familiar with the Nag Hammadi codices? Written in the same time period that the traditional New Testament books were written in, the first and second centuries, the codices were discovered in 1945. At first scholars dismissed them as heretical, calling them gnostic. With deeper and more honest scholarship, their validity has become more widely recognized even though still little known amongst the public. 'A New New Testament', the work of a diverse council of 20 scholars, combines the newly discovered texts with the traditional. In one of the Nag Hammadi codices, Jesus says, more than once, 'It is not as Moses told you.' Jesus also says, 'There is no sin.' Entering our new world will require letting go of old ideas for many. Thank you for writing. Benoit Couture However our perspectives may differ, they are always equally valid. Gary Why would an early centuries all-male council of bickering church leaders deliberately prevent the inclusion of valid texts (which give women a voice, close the gap between God and humankind, say there is no sin, correct misinformation from the past, and claim that Jesus came not to die for Man's sin but to be an example of putting on the perfect human) into the canon of scripture? Hmmmm..... *** COMMENTS ON PERCEPTIONS Gary Benoit Couture, However our perspectives may differ, they are always equally valid. Are you familiar with the Nag Hammadi codices?

Thank you for writing. Benoit Couture Gary, Jesus could not have said that there is no sin because He is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death. The end to sin is the reason for the entire coming of the Son of God. From death unto life is the passage that He established. It is not a matter of old ideas but rather of the temporal condition of humanity which is spiritual death of the first birth and the second birth by which God gives us personally eternal life in Christ. Yan Eperon Sin may simply equate to misinterpretation. Which does create much chaos and suffering. Which does create potent growth opportunities and a solid basis for deep appreciation of the wholly. Yan Eperon In my perspective, the core misinterpretation causes indeed death - or the transitory experience of it since who we are IS. Gary Yes, who we are IS, and misinterpretations of almost everything make much havoc! Life COULD be so much simpler just by letting go of attachments to our (my) misinterpretations. Yan Eperon "Life COULD be so much simpler just by letting go of attachments to our (my) misinterpretations." - indeed ❤️. https://www.wholehuman.emanatepresence.com/blog/perceptions BE THOU MY VISION Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Naught be all else to me, save that thou art Thou my best thought, by day or by night Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord Thou my great Father, and I thy true son Thou in me dwelling and I with thee one Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise Thou mine inheritance, now and always Thou and thou only first in my heart High King of heaven, my treasure thou art High King of heaven, my victory won May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's sun Heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my vision, O ruler of all Heart of my own heart, whatever befall Still be my vision, O ruler of all Source: Musixmatch Songwriter: Eleanor Hull SONG ORIGINS AND MEANINGS FLOW GENTLY SWEET AFTON [Verse 1] Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream [Verse 2] Thou stock-dove whose echo resounds through the glen Oh, ye wild whistling blackbirds in yon thorny den Thou green-crested lapwing, thy screaming forebear Oh, I charge you disturb not my slumbering fair [Bridge] Oh, how lofty, sweet Afton, thy neighbouring hills Far marked with the courses of clear winding rills There daily I wander as noon rises high Oh, my flocks and my Mary's sweet cot in my eye [Verse 3] How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below Where wild in the woodlands the primroses blow There oft as mild evening sweeps over the lea The sweet scented birch shades my Mary and me [Bridge] Oh, thy crystal stream, Afton, how lovely it glides And winds by her cot where my Mary resides How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave As gathering sweet flowerets she stems thy clear wave [Verse 4] Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes Flow gently, sweet river, the theme of my lays My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream So flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream
