War of Lies

And the Truth shall set you free.

You don't have all the facts.  You are bombarded with poorly vetted, politically slanted stories on your social media.  These are political sites, and so-called fake news sources.

This type of mean-spirited name bashing is no better than what the right does.  In fact, it's their tactic.  The left has adopted the tactic, made it their business to defame all real and perceived enemies.

The real story is out there for those who care to find it.  The Key is you have to fight for the Truth.   You need to verify your news through several news sources that are journalists not sensationalists!  Beyond that you need to know both sides of the story and carefully vett your own information.

The rest, right and left, will be caught up in what is a media-driven war.  Arm yourself with the truth or continue to be a pawn in the game.

These news reports are politically motivated, slanted and designed to attack. 

Rise above the battlefield and be free.

7 Cats

My mom had 7 cats.  She would put down a big bowl of food every morning.  5 of them would compete for the food, stuffing their faces in or pulling the bowl away with their paws.

The two big males usually got to eat first.   The biggest was Brother, a black & white.  Moscow, a red luxuriously furry angora, was known to be cowardly and so Brother would push him out.  Of the female cats, Lucky, a mostly feral sleek tortoise-shell and two charcoal tabbies would push their way in when Brother finished.

The huntress, a beautiful sleek calico, would watch with disdain.  She rarely nibbled of the food.  When the eating was done, the fat cat, a rotund grey tabby, would saunter over and finish the bowl.

6 of the cats would run outside.  Penny, the calico, who was the smartest, leapt up to open the screen door.  She hooked her paw on the door handle, timing it so that as the latch opened her sleek body would hit the door and pop it open.  Mom never locked the door, and she never had to let the cats out.  Penny scampered out each morning and the others bolted out before the door could shut.  Farina, the fat cat would take a nap.

The cats were all treated the same.

The Moral of the story, of course is: all cats are different.

Hidden Reality

Reality wavers between the manifest and potentiality.  The Leviathan hidden in a sea of thought is a mental monster, oppressing each of our subjective realities.  It is the fear of looking foolish, of trusting your innate sense over a sea of facts.


I'm not against science, but I must ask why is it that they reverse themselves every year or so? Surely if their truth isn't always truth then it was never truth.  

Newton's science was not Einstein science. And as science progresses, particularly when it comes to the realm of physics, it draws ever closer to conclusions known years ago by the earliest mystics. All consciousness is one; everything is one. You can disagree, but it has been known since about 1920 that all manifested reality is responsive to consciousness. This has been proven in the physics lab. Therefore all reality is relative and subjective.

Truth is a constant if it is to be Truth at all.  However, Truth hides obliquely in our manifest reality.  So science plods on, overturning yesterday's truth for a better, newer truth of today. 
Like everyone else, you are free to live in your own little thought bubble.  Nothing happens unless you know it.  A million suns can be born, light the skies and die, but without the illumination of knowing, who can say they ever did exist?

This is not a philosophical question. It's not if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it did it make a sound. It is not does the light turn off in the refrigerator when you close the door if you don't see it. Literally, reality changes itself based on observation. This is our reality.
It's truth is hidden in the recesses of your mind. It is the truth you won't look for, and won't see,  because you have become accustomed to looking without for truth rather than within.

Dark Night

In North America, we have a total solar eclipse coming up for the first time since 1979.

In a few days, parts of Asia Europe and Australia will be treated to a partial lunar eclipse.

I recently learned these things always come in pairs, about two weeks apart.

This night in day and day in night, the earth and moon play with light and shadows, has become a recent obsession of mine.

So too, I've thought about the dark night of the soul.

In our life we go through many mini eclipses.  There are times we are illumined and other times we live in the shadows.

What if it's all part of Gods plan? Or the Oversoul?

We learn from our periods of darkness, don't we.  Imagine we were baking a loaf of bread. It's all part of the kneading, stretching and rolling process.  And then we rest, and rise.  Finally, we are baked to perfection and become food, for the soul.  And we become one with that body.

Each experience you go through prepares you for the next. And the dark night rests you for when your soul sees the brilliant light of the day.  You will be ready for the sun to shine.

Without rest, the sun would be your Nemesis.

The dark night of the soul is a torture for those who remember illumination.  But if God has said to you, 'Rest!', then you should rest so that you will be ready, for the day will come when you will need to rise and shine!

Sleep but a little bit more, for your day will come.

Root of all Illness

 It is said that money is the root of all evil.

Let us take a look at the English word disease.

                    DIS EASE

Break the word apart and we have a meaning that is not at rest.

Most people are capable of sleep or rest, so what plagues the body then?  Even the heart rests in-between beats.  The unhealthy heart doesn't get enough rest.

There is a strong mind-body connection.  The restless mind plagues the body, which is the neutral servant of the mind.

When the mind is sick, the body suffers, in many ways.  Not only is the body often not treated properly, not fed nor exercised properly, but it suffers the chemical reactions of too much stress, anxious thoughts.  The body is deprived of its rest when the mind has no peace. The body lives with the poison of noxious thoughts and angry passions.

Hate is not confined alone inside the mind.  Hate spreads though the joints, muscles, nerve tissues, blood gasses, and resides within the cells and electrical systems of the body.  All these systems are responsive to thought!  Your heart races when you are frightened, as your body releases adrenaline.  Your hands shake when you are upset.  Your stomach flutters when you gaze into the eyes of someone you are in love with.  Your body trembles at the touch of Love.

What is your body reacting to?  Are you bringing peaceful thoughts, love and kind gestures into your awareness?  Or, are you instead focused on all the negativity in the world?  Do you bring up your anger and hatred at every opportunity?   Have you become so irrational that you can start to see the cracks in your own mind?  Are you convinced that your neighbor is your enemy and hating on others?  Do you see the good or the bad in others?

That is the root of your malady.  What are you thinking about?

If you are justified in your hate, remember that hate is a double-edged sword.  More accurately it's like fire, indiscriminate about who it burns.  It is a deep well of poisonous thought, springing from deep within your consciousness, inflamed by your passions, sickening your persona, and weakening your emotional and physical health.  It saps your reserves, steals your vitality and drinks your youth.

If you want to heal, don't ignore the fire burning within you.  If it is an angry flame, the sickness needs to be treated there.  You surround yourself with what you perceive within. You create your world out of the clay.  You can rebuild it, one step at a time, thought by thought.  First change your mind, and the world takes notice!

The Psychic Buffer Zone

Consciousness is a continuum.

A pitfall of expanding consciousness is the direct link to another Mind that can occur.

Most mature people have developed a buffer zone to deal with others, such as strangers, friends, even family.   We've learned to control our reactions, to a great degree, by keeping other people's emotional outbursts in perspective or at arms length. Very rarely do they manage to push our buttons and actually upset us. This is how we keep our emotional equilibrium.

To the novice, learning to connect with another mind on a very intimate level, there is no arm's length.  There is no emotional distance, and no ability to put another's emotional state into rational perspective.

In this state, the lovers quarrel for instance can completely destroy the psyche.

For this reason, the novice must learn to detach. The novice or adept must be able to separate consciousness from the others.  So much effort has been put forth into learning to connect, that the novice is completely unprepared to detach when an unstable or risky emotional situation presents itself.

All relationships have a buffer zone, where we allow one another a certain amount of space to act out, we give each other time to cool down, and then we engage. If we do not learn to do this on the higher plane, once we have become a player or engaged consciousness there, we are at risk of great psychological harm.

On the higher plane, angry thoughts become weapons.  It's like being in a dreamworld thinking you are being carved up, or thrown off a cliff, for example.   Because you are in a higher state of consciousness, you can see the angry thoughts, and your inclination is to comfort. You do not take cover; you do not retreat, and you do not detach. In the normal world, you might think twice about engaging with an extremely angry person. You might realize it's best to back off until they cool down.

One of the first lessons a spiritual novice needs to learn is that the spiritual world is a heightened experience of the physical world.  The lessons we learn here are mirrored there and even more critical.

Maintaining a psychic buffer zone, one that you can control at will, is essential before embarking on a new journey in the realms of heightened consciousness.   In the dream world, when things get too scary, you often wake up. You need to have safety valves and escape mechanisms in place when you advance to higher levels of consciousness. Thought there is extremely powerful, equivalent to action on that plane.  You have to remember where you are, and have a buffer zone and an exit strategy in place.

The Chinese: Food for Thought

The horrific truth about China: Forced organ harvesting with most victims being practitioners of a peaceful religion Falun Gong, a type of meditation and yoga.  It brings to mind the atrocities suffered by the earliest Christians.  These innocent people, even defenseless children, are murdered or butchered for their organs, so the rich and powerful can have an endless organ supply.

What type of culture feeds upon not only its dogs and cats, torturing them to tenderize the meat, but also slaughtering peaceful citizens and harmless children?

They have embraced a dark form of communism, cloaked in capitalism.  The doctor in this video will tell you he had no guilt about cutting a living, struggling man open and harvesting his organs, for the state.
