An invitation for everyone......
Dear friends of spiritual progress,
This is a reminder for the upcoming Global Group Mind Meditation for this Sunday, February 24th at 3PM Pacific Time, (Seattle/Portland/Los Angeles).
The Global Group Mind Meditations are now in progress, for the benefit of all beings on Earth. They represent a growing effort by people around the world, to focus their prayers and meditations together, for the mutual expansion of consciousness.
Our intentions are focused to uplift the world. Through this simultaneous focus we are aligning our awareness together on a psychic basis. As we focus together, our psychic effects expand and elevate. Through this alignment we expand our mutual, group mind spiritual power. At the same time our Intent is also to uplift the World Mind, or collective consciousness of humanity, and to heal the Earth, (Gaia/Earth Mind) of stresses and imbalances. Cast forth your love and clarity and intend their manifestation!
The Earth Mind needs a booster now more than ever. I recommend we raise our planet, just as we raise each other and the peoples of the world. To do this it is useful to intend "the best benefit for all", (optimal consciousness expansion). Intend this with perseverance for the sake of the Raising, and not with an attachment to specific results.
All of this is explained in detail, in the Perpetual Raising series of articles. Please take some time to read this 5-part article if you haven’t already. [See below] Feel free to pass it on to others.
Our spiritual effort is founded upon the Group Mind Principle, and other principles of Natural Law. The Group Mind Principle states that,
"the resulting force generated from the combining of like minds, is geometrically greater than the sum of its parts".
Through the Group Mind Principle we are resonantly combining our love, clarity and a passion for spiritual progress in all ways, to manifest itself planet-wide. We are in effect, intending into place ever higher states of consciousness…for ourselves, each other, the Earth and all of humanity. In an intentionally formed group mind such as this, the psychic and spiritual effects created can be quite potent.
The Global Group Mind Meditations are being coordinated by the World Mind Society at [link] Inquiries regarding this Transmission of group Intent may be directed to Matthew Webb visionquest@eoni.com
Participants are asked to choose which one of seven specific focuses they want to employ, for the sake of group and world benefit. These seven focuses comprise ideal focuses for the expansion of consciousness, including love, clarity, expansion, higher energy, connection to God, etc., and are all described in detail, by the five-part article known as The Perpetual Raising. The Perpetual Raising series can be found in the Library of the World Mind Society at [link]
We can collectively bring forth a new world. Let us manifest together the higher qualities of natural and spiritual living. You are all invited to participate!
The Global Group Mind Meditations are held every second and fourth Sunday, of each month. The next GGM Meditation will be held at 3PM Pacific time, on Sunday, March 10th.
I’ll feel you there at 3PM sharp! Thank you all for your participation.
Love and Clarity,
Matthew Webb More >

I submit for you another article, this one written by Matthew Webb, and can be found in the World Mind Society Library. I need say no more, the article is clear and says it all.
Love with clarity to all,
Sandi
****************************
The Age of Empowerment
At this moment many different meditational and prayer-centered organizations around the world, are using group focus to bring about global change. Some meditate for peace, and others pray for the intercession of Divine forces. This is being done to place humanity once again on an evolutionary course. Some groups meditate upon creating a coherence of mind, others upon peacefulness and wisdom among our race. Still others use a silence of mind to calm the modern chaos and conflict. Regardless of the methods of various practices, or the credentials of their spiritual leaders, the essential point to realize here is that humanity is awakening out of a 3000-5000 year slumber. This collective sleep came upon us as we left natural ways and laws. It has cast a shadow upon all the products of civilization. Only now is there a significant dawning of the new Age of Empowerment, which actually reflects the most ancient of all cosmic knowledge at its foundation.
What is being realized is that there is a higher order in the universe, than that imposed by martial regulation. There exists a higher law than the edicts of courts, judges, popes or presidents. This law is higher because it is the very source for human existence, as well as all of life and existence itself. The highest law of all is structured by natural and spiritual design. The greatest means for success in life is therefore through natural and spiritual principles. Natural laws and spiritual principles are in essence one in the same thing. They are both ways of referring to the Cosmic Order we must all recognize, or suffer the consequences of wrong Intent, (extinction). There are a great many among us today, who are realizing that what we need is a unity of spiritual Intent. Our collective effort and focused group determination, is exactly what is required at this moment in history. Very soon, the days of individual and competitive effort will end, one way or another. In the future they will be remembered as obsolete and even primitive. True social progress will in the near future, be defined as progressive and mutual spirituality. Our unity of spiritual focus will render the sweetest fruits that humanity has ever known, in the form of compassionate relations, dynamic community living, and the sharing of resources. In greater enlightenment, people will directly perceive the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of all humanity, in all places upon the globe. All of this will take place through one singular means in the elevation of consciousness, at a grass-roots level of society. Groups around the world dedicated to the expansion of consciousness, act as sparks igniting the spiritual fire of global illumination.
Natural and spiritual laws tell us that the purpose of life is growth, change and constant evolution. Humanity is still very much in the midst of this evolutionary process. We are growing and becoming more than we ever were, (or at least this is the human potential, and most fundamental need). Our brain capacity and conscious potentials are such, that we have the option to choose the path of our own destiny. But this capacity for free will comes with a price. It is ours to choose, yet we must choose wisely or suffer mass destruction forged by our own hands. There is a broad range of possibilities open to us, but only within the parameters of natural law. Outside of these parameters we may not stray for long, because the Universe has its own organized purpose. We may not defy this purpose indefinitely. This means that free will is not the whole equation of human mental capacity. We must be more than merely intelligent, we must also be wise. Wisdom is none other than the application of truth in ones’ life. The greater this application becomes, the greater is the resulting wisdom. Wisdom tends to be the bi-product of natural living, since nature operates directly upon Truth. In our free will, the acquisition of natural wisdom is necessary. We may then make the choices which sustain all life, and not just the benefit of a few.
When we follow the natural design, the choices we make are evolutionary. This means that our decisions result in the inner and outer growth of the human being. We are becoming conscious members of Cosmic citizenship. When this happens we become more than just the citizens of nations, or members of a given culture, religion or ideology. By adopting natural and spiritual laws as our guiding system of living, it is then that the whole universe becomes the place of human creation and contribution.
Through the group mind principle of nature, we can take part in the formation of a new world. Our collective intent is the basis for how our society functions. When we spiritually change this intent at a personal level, we become Masters. When we change intent on a collective level, our species will gain what may be called “world enlightenment”. In this world the very concept of human limitation and self destruction will be shattered. Today’s miracles will become tomorrows’ every-day occurrences, by remaining true to what our own souls already know. In following the ways of nature, and consciously participating in the process of evolution, (rather than seeking to avoid it) the natural wisdom of the human spirit will finally come into full bloom.
The purpose of global meditations, prayers, and spiritual practices, is to improve both personal and world conditions. The outer condition of international relations, directly reflects the inner world of the consciousness we hold. Fundamentally, we all work toward the creation of a new world, where complete empowerment of the people is the norm, rather than alienation, pain and fear. As we engage a spiritual focus together, we change our individual and collective consciousness, to higher and higher levels. Greater love, clarity, awareness and Cosmic Purpose then make themselves apparent. What will this new world look like, when a great shift in world consciousness occurs? At present we are in the midst of a period of transition and relative chaos. Turmoil is occurring at all levels of global affairs. We have within our power as conscious beings, (and at this very moment) the ability to transform chaos into a higher level of spiritual order. The new era thus created, might well be called The Age of Empowerment. Let us explore how this Age will look, and rally around its crystallization in cooperative effort. With this crystallized vision of global empowerment in place, all that is then needed is its cooperative implementation. This can be accomplished by those of progressive intention.
By focusing upon the expansion of consciousness, (that we are) we facilitate the purposes of our own souls, the evolutionary process in Nature, and Divine Will in the ascension of humanity. As each of us expands our essential being, and raises our level of spiritual intention, we will cross a series of consciousness-thresholds around the globe. These collective thresholds, (of change) are in essence, no different than the changes an individual goes through, as they expand personal consciousness. Some refer to such a major shift of global consciousness through such terms as “omega point” or “critical mass”. A critical mass-shift of consciousness, is comparable to the flash-point of fire, as something flammable suddenly bursts into flame, or when water comes to a boil. In all of these cases a threshold is crossed, after which many experiential changes are made evident. The difference between boiling water, and water which is calm is obvious, as is the difference between the flash-point of fire and mere smoldering. The same is true of various thresholds of consciousness, at the individual, group and global levels. The many groups and individuals who are now arising in spiritual unity across the globe, are the smoldering of our collective will to ascend. We need only to align this collective will cooperatively, to make world enlightenment a spiritual fire that is felt as a daily reality. Ultimately, we all seek a major threshold, (of change) in world consciousness. The crossing of this threshold will be made evident to all persons on this planet simultaneously. Just as a roomful of people can come to simultaneous joy and realization together, (this is especially evident in group meditations or prayer/drumming circles) so too can all of humanity wherever they are on the globe.
So what happens after the shift of global consciousness? What will the world look like in terms of social relations and international policy? After such a shift, there will be obvious changes in the degree of manifest love, clarity, energy and connection to nature, among the peoples of the world. In a more enlightened state of world consciousness, the following social trends will be become increasingly evident;
1) National boundaries will dissolve, as they will be seen as unimportant and artificial. People will identify instead with what is universal. They will witness the commonality of consciousness inside themselves and all others. In other words, they will identify with the consciousness or God within, as a first hand experience. The peoples of the world will do this rather than identifying with those learned distinctions of nationality, which are by comparison small, false and self limiting. We are not the members of nations, we are members of the family of God. We are not of states or territories, we are a part of Nature and the natural design. Our true heritage is that of consciousness the universal, not the artificially imposed ideology of “national pride”, which has nothing to do with the natural reality.
2) Cultural boundaries will dissolve, as they will be seen as unimportant and artificial. We are not members of cultures, because any one culture is truly less than human souls in bodies. What is a culture other than a set of beliefs, made by men in accord with the limitations of time and place? We are far greater than any one set of beliefs or lifestyles. We are Divine beings of vast potential, of sophisticated genetic background, spanning eons of time. We are the stuff of stars, and the product of the Cosmic principles of Creation itself. Humans are the very creators of all cultures, and are therefore more than any one set of ideals or beliefs. The human being is reflective of that which is universal, just as is all of nature. Upon realizing this our common root as conscious beings, will become the unified ground for world peace and true fulfillment.
3) Religious boundaries will dissolve, as they will be seen as unimportant, and artificial. The universal truth which underlies all religions surpasses the limitations of any one ideology. As we expand our consciousness, we realize that it is the Truth which any religion attempts to convey which is important, not specific rituals, practices or traditions. No one given place of worship is necessarily more holy than any other…it is the entire Earth and the human being itself which is Holy. We carry this holiness within, and to assign it arbitrarily to one piece of land or temple, is to create distinctions which do not truly exist. It is to Truth alone which we will apply ourselves, regardless of religious orientation. Using Truth as the primary guide in life, a person achieves what is known as “Mastery” of self, as a soul in a body. We are all souls in bodies, as the product of Divinity/Natural Intelligence. All human beings are composed of consciousness at a fundamental level. For this reason our goals are truly universal and unified. We are therefore much more than any one approach…as it is said, “all paths lead to God”. In greater self realization, we See that the paths which lead to God are not God Itself. A path is not representative of the God we seek to know and commune with. Regardless of the technique of meditation or prayer, is it not the same Universal Consciousness, (God) which is the subject of our spiritual focus? Upon realizing this, religious disputes and wars will become a thing of forgotten history. Jihads and holy conflicts will be made obsolete, because in our expanded consciousness, the people of the world will recognize that the holiest focus of all is found in the reverence of life, and its universal, spiritual purpose.
4) Political boundaries will dissolve, as they will be seen as unimportant and artificial. Political orientations are, (ideally) only specific approaches to the establishment of the general welfare. It is not any one party or platform which is most important, it is our general welfare in daily living which matters to the people of the world. As our global consciousness shifts, we will no longer seek the special-interest benefit of a given political party alone. We will instead seek the welfare of all people as cosmic equals, in the formation of a more perfect social union.
After the shifts of world consciousness occur, a different consensual social order will make itself apparent…
1) Competitiveness for the sake of selfish benefit, will be replaced by the realization that we have much more to gain through cooperation and harmony.
2) Love will replace fear as the standard assumption in social encounters. There is no true reason for interactions to be otherwise. It will be realized that what we create together, literally determines the fate of our collective destiny. Higher consciousness will demonstrate in no uncertain terms, that love is not an abstract theory of sentimental value only. It is in fact a practical and spiritual state of being, that affords very real advantages, for all who focus upon it together.
3) Clarity will replace confusion as the standard norm for modern thought. It will be understood that truth is a universal constant, one that is integral to God, Truth and Nature alike. It is also an inherent part of our human reality, by the same token. In realizing this, clarity will take the place of confusion as the standard content for all sources of public information, (media). We will gain increasing insight into what is real in Truth, and what is only the illusion(s) of our own making. In clarity for instance, we will go beyond the belief that materialism is the best standard for living. The public focus will then shift to that which is universal, and away from the false assumptions of the marketplace, and money-as-happiness. In clarity mutual intent will become apparent, and there will be no place for deceptiveness, since inner motives will be instantly recognized, (both within and without).
4) We will increasingly find that feelings of mutual strength replace those of competitiveness and discord. In the new Age of Empowerment, we will understand that there is far more to gain by strengthening each other, than through cut-throat destructiveness and selfish interest alone. Cooperative living in a variety of forms will spontaneously arise, in the form of communities, communal households, shared resources and mutual undertakings. Cooperation will be carried forward by individuals who See that the collective good, also profoundly contributes to their own personal good.
5) Efficient and natural living will take the place of “consumerism”. Nature will become the standard for social order, and natural laws the template for a truly satisfying standard of living. Sustainable and natural methods of agriculture, self governance, social relations, education, medicine and all other areas of collective effort, will be made self-sufficient. Governmental “authority” will be de-centralized, and replaced with the autonomy and self capability of the people. Grass roots practical action and self motivation, will replace the need for “experts” (who supposedly know more about ourselves and our own welfare, than we do).
THE VISION
Increasingly, there are those who are appearing from the ranks of the old-world order, with a fresh vision of life. Individuals are spontaneously arising, (as well as those inspired by organized means) with revolutionary, yet ancient knowledge. These individuals are acting as the Guides for higher consciousness, within the currently materialistic world society. They are creating a world movement based upon an embrace of universal spirituality, instead of specific governments, philosophies or religions. This world movement will progressively recognize the deeper qualities of life and Truth for their own inherent value.
The true identity of human beings as conscious souls in bodies, rather than as citizens of countries, will become the standard “political” position. The progressively inclined will increasingly crave and align with natural ways, and find this to be a very real source for spiritual regeneration. In so doing many will gain what will be regarded as various mental and spiritual powers, including expanded perceptions, psychic manifestations, enhanced intelligence and wisdom. These important qualities will enable them to guide the new progressive trend of humanity, into an enlightened age. This new Age of Empowerment will be marked by a knowing of God in Nature, and a respect for right living as demonstrated by spiritual, scientific and natural principles. All of these areas will be viewed as one in the same study. Scientific investigation will be based on nature and Natural Law, and thus be more fully understood through the wise focus of spirituality. Scientific principles will be the means to the spiritual for many, having been motivated by the Cosmic impulse to understand. Spirituality will in turn be more fully understood and embodied, through enlightened science. The Age of Empowerment will find progressive fruition through naturally applied scientific tools and concepts, along-side spiritual progressiveness.
The progressive elements of humanity will increasingly find ways of living which maintain inner strength. To some degree, this group will wait for the time when their voice and way of living may be more clearly heard, at which point they will openly advocate progressive measures for the further evolution of humanity. [That time is now] Many will band together, especially in natural areas, forming communities of like mind. Some of these exist successfully at present, even in large cities. Spiritual practices of all kinds for the improvement of the body, mind and spirit will flourish among them. The widespread use of herbs, natural foods, and alternative technologies will sustain those who naturally oriented. Those who observe natural laws have the support of Earth consciousness in general.
Then, there will occur a phenomena of consciousness that is often not easily attained by any planet, or any other life supporting body. Human consciousness will reach a planetary threshold, whereby the constituent minds of the world will collectively and simultaneously shift. This is a process that resembles the flash point of fire suddenly crossed. This flash point is usually catalyzed by one or more among an intelligent race, typically at various points around a world, whose personal consciousness reaches an elevated stage. When this happens High Intent is radiated outward as a powerful and progressive force of a very high vibration. Such spiritual Intent is the result of dedicated Spiritual focus. It comes about through an alignment with the Will of God/Nature, and the subsequent channeling of Divine Intent into the environment, for the benefit of all. The spiritual spark thus created by advanced souls, ignites the realization of a great many more, elevating their consciousness resonantly.
Evolutionary emanations travel outward from spiritual groups and Masters, like the waves caused when stones are thrown into a pond. This “pond” is the World Mind, also known as “the collective unconscious” of global, human society. To make a global “flash-point shift” more probable, there must exist a minimum number of truly spiritual persons who have attained significant self realization. This self realization allows them to be receptive to the emanations of consciousness-pioneering groups and individuals. Because of their receptivity, (and also because of the very compelling nature of the high vibration/Intent sent forth) the people first affected will then embody this Intent themselves. Many people will feel compelled to spontaneously enter states of love, clarity and realization, though many may not realize why this is so. This will amplify and expand the original impulse sent by the minority who Understand. Larger and larger portions of the population will resonate with, and radiate, high vibrations and Intent, (love and spiritual motivation). The flash point phenomena will continue to expand over the entire population of the world, in ever widening circles of influence. In a very short time the World Mind will be transformed and elevated, in its level of consciousness, after a certain critical mass or percentage of the population, is converted to high(er) Intentions. The raising of world consciousness may therefore be catalyzed, by those who understand the principles of natural law which can accomplish such an act.
A shift in the Planetary Mind of this type, will be strongly felt by every living being. It will similarly elevate all planetary matter, in the form of psychically emanated love and clarity. A flash point phenomena such as this, will also result in off-world effects. These will extend themselves outward into space like a radiating light. The Earth will become a literal spiritual source, a psychic sun of high vibration and Intent, shining brightly on subtle realms. Such a planetary event would be a primary culmination of Earth consciousness, (and human consciousness) in Self Realization. This is the ultimate aim of all group minds in the universe, in Unity. It is the primary fulfillment for human existence, and for the whole process of evolution. May our intentions be joined together, to cooperatively bring greater world enlightenment into fruition…

I am posting an article I wrote about one year ago. It describes what was found to be necessary to truly live as spirit and to be on the path to becoming The Master we all truly are. It means leaving behind all the paradigms and beliefs that are man made and not Spirit/God made.
I share this with love....
********************
The Journey of Self Discovery
Part 1
A Path Rarely Traveled
There is no path of self-discovery existing at this time, that can be effectively traveled within the bounds of society. You will only find yourself running around in a circle of false beliefs. Modern society is based on its own artificially specialized “rules”, “laws”, “beliefs”, “norms”, “modes” and “goals”. The only way to find your true self is to forego, completely and totally, the constructs of contemporary lifestyles. Begin looking at yourself as the pure consciousness that you truly are, (not through thoughts, the mind or emotions, nor via any outward projection). Look inward through your pure essence, pure energy and pure consciousness. That is truly the core of your Being. If you are a student of spirituality and practice meditation, you may have an “inkling” of what this really means. But to be perfectly honest I have yet to meet such a spiritual person, who is still living within the limitations of modern society.
On this path you will have to forego all you know, (or all you believe you know). The time is now to simply say ”Everyone” and “Everything” in modern life is WRONG, in its beliefs and way of living! Most people are all guiding their lives through pre-conditioned, skewed intentions, and therefore they are living lives based on false values and misplaced directions.
Pack your things, (only those possessions you truly need to survive) and get out. Get back to Nature. Get back to pure awareness! Get back to pure freedom! This article is based on one such journey, but it is not a personal diary of that sojourn. It is presented to you the reader in a universal way, making it accessible and comprehensible to those that truly want to explore natural and spiritual living. As I am writing this, I truly wonder just how many will have the courage and foresight to read the entire article. It is based on experience and years of study, into the true essence of the soul. The soul is the true self. We are here only for a short time, experiencing life on earth in a physical body. The time has come to bring this fact back into our awareness, and live this most Basic Truth of all.
The Point of No Return
Looking at Society today, there are few who can truly say they know anyone coming from pure awareness, pure intention and purity of spirit. Does anyone in your life have the goals of consciousness expansion and evolution, and is this reflected in anyone’s daily life? Do you know anyone that even thinks of or strives for, ascension to higher planes of consciousness? This is the main goal, the main mission, for everyone here on this planet. This is our true mission…knowing that we are pure spirit here in physical form. When did we allow the physical realm to become more important than spiritual progress? Working to survive, having food to eat, shelter to live in, etc must become our secondary goals. The time is here now, for our primary goal to be ascension, expansion and evolution.
Going through life day to day, we get stuck in daily routines. How does one justify working 40+ hours each week, 50 weeks each year, until they “retire”. We are then too old or sickly to see life for what it truly is. As we go through these daily routines in this great country of ours, how do we justify working endlessly for a lifetime, just to buy things? Why do things such as: what type of car we drive, how big our house is, what clothes we wear or what type of job we have, matter to us? How do we justify giving more than a third of our hard-earned money to a government(s) that only strives to dominate every living thing on this planet? What we find today are governments which care nothing for a human being. Furthermore, modern science does not even acknowledge the human soul. A government or science that do all these things with absolutely no thought or consideration to the countless lives they are harming, should be completely redirected. The destruction of our beloved planet is accelerating! Corruption and falsehood are the norm, while a government puts a man in office that the people did not even elect. Yet millions of people everyday, live only for their jobs, corporate goals and personal dramas. They never give any of these destructive facts a second thought. Questions such as these are never asked, at least not openly. Day by day living through the false intentions of obtaining money, power and ego, is the norm in society today.
People are taught to always look outside of themselves for self-validation. Lets look at this realistically in the light of truth. If everyone is living the same type of materialistic life, striving for the same goals no matter how skewed or filled with denial and betrayal, it follows that people will praise such actions to justify their own behavior. Everyone is doing all they can to keep this false way of living going on for as long as possible. No one really wants to see the lies they are living. As a race we go deeper and deeper into a hole of denial, betrayal and false ideology. Everyone supports and validates everyone else for their misguided goals. The saddest fact in all this, is that the more money one makes, the more backs that are stabbed, the more masks one wears and the more possessions one has, the more honor and respect they will receive. It is really easy to see how far we have strayed from our true purpose in this physical life. Only those with courage will truly look at how far from Spirit and Nature we have gone.
Take a moment and look at the millions of people each year who have their bodies invaded through cosmetic surgery. We live in a world of all show and no substance. They do this just to be more “beautiful” in the eyes of others. It is a perfect example of how far a human being will go just to be accepted, approved of, and outwardly validated via today’s materialistic/physical values. Is all this what we want to teach our children? Why do we continue to worship all that is false and of no real significance? When will we, (if ever) return to “seeing” a person’s soul and the beauty thereof? This beauty is so magnificent, that words lack the power and subtlety to define or describe it. Yet who focuses on such beauty?
Unfortunately, on this present course, the destruction just keeps building with increasing momentum. The more off course we are the more we will look outside ourselves to validate and justify any way of living that is convenient. For if we truly searched inward and validated the vibrations of the soul, we would know immediately how "wrong" we are in the way we are living this precious gift of life. Staying on this present course we will continue to yearn and work for the bigger house, newer car, job promotion, raise in salary, more elite job title, etc. For all of these troubles we get cancer, alzheimers, ulcers, diabetes, strokes and heart attacks. Yet at the same time all of this is smiled upon and approved of by others around us. We search for the adulation of others, for we have lost all connection to our true essence. We have forgotten the spirit of who we really are. Society has traded natural wisdom for plastic coated dreams. The majority of people today cannot even fathom getting validation from within, because they think the only place to find this verification is outside of ourselves.
Paradoxically, most or all of the people that are smiling at us are really not happy for us at all! They are too busy striving for outward approval and/or adulation themselves. Enviously, they really don’t want anyone having more than they do. This is why their approval will never be given 100% or from the heart, but only for the sake of social obligation. Our whole society is built around this paradox. Back-slapping and back stabbing are closely related. All this really accomplishes, is the ingraining of cut throat competition in each of us.
Children are expected to grow up as “consumers”. As robotic “consumers” we are fulfilling the false goals and false “Gods” of the business world.. Who are these false “Gods’? Authority figures of any kind, including Government Officials, Teachers, The Dollar, Parents, Police, Politicians or any other lost soul who strives for these artificial goals. These are the sources of mis-information which keep us lost and stuck throughout our life here on earth.
Social training starts at a very early age, when we were forced to stay in school or day care, for many hours each day. We are trained to stay indoors all day following rigid schedules and mindless rules. Our imagination became stifled and replaced with conditioned responses, to appease the “adult” world of materialism. The clock tells us when to eat, to sleep, to work, to have sex and to think for ourselves, (since this isn’t allowed on company time). We became good little “consumers” doing what we are told, and learning how to live in this world of dominance, possessions and paychecks. Conditioning starts very early in life. We compete for higher grades in school, and this is progressively carried over to high(er) earnings in the business world. Where do all of these silly games lead? They result in a life of never asking why. No one perceives clearly the false goals we strive for.
How can we accomplish “success”? We only work longer hours each day, more days each week, purchasing more things in order to fill the void within us. We never acknowledge or seek to fulfill our true mission here on earth. Nothing from the very start in our life, acknowledges or seeks to expand and evolve the true essence of our souls.
Now let’s take a moment to look at human beings as they “scurry” through their daily lives. Most live as unhappy, (though sedated) robots. Some actually believe they have found a “balance” for living within society. Some even imagine they are spiritually motivated while still carrying out the self-destructive goals of society. Most believe they are justified in never changing anything about their lives. We find scholars, priests and CEO’s hiding behind their dogma or skewed spiritual or humanitarian beliefs, while still contributing to “business as usual”. It is interesting to examine how they justify their way of living. Their total denial of what is really going on here on earth is considered the only way to live. Ah yes, it is so easy to fall into this mode of living. We are so influenced by conditioning and the psychic impact of the world mind and world karma. It is just easier to follow this, then to be “judged” by all those around us.
When asked to face the harsh realities of the world we have created, the general public will respond with many statements. Examples of these are, “I don’t read or follow the news, it is too negative”, or “It is all divinely ordained, I will send out light and love”. Better yet, they say, “Well, that is just the way things are”. Never are these responses to the point of truth, or facing the reality of our world today. No one wants to take responsibility for themselves or the events around them. No one wants to give up the “comfort zone”, “luxuries” or false beliefs that their whole life is based upon. I ask you why? Why would anyone want to stay on such a destructive course of denial? It is not enough to live only for today, while throwing away all chance of a healthy life, for future generations.
“We are all One”! This universal law is shown very clearly, by the way whole nations simultaneously fall into new belief systems, or “fads”. Beliefs turn into “reality” overnight, because of the overwhelming influence of the majority’s mind-set. We are literally surrounded by various mass illusions. Every modern culture has them, and rarely are they seen for what they are. For instance, no one ever questions “the American Dream”. They merely strive for something that is never clearly or logically defined. Will we “wake up” from this dream? People never question the nightmare they are living, because of the mass influence of our social and psychic paradigm. “Peer pressure” is only half of the equation…there is also psychic pressure from group belief. This belief in the “American Dream” and its way of living is so strong and prevalent, that we have even designed prayers and invocations for an “abundance” of material possessions. My question here is: What does the evolution of the soul have to do with material wealth? Does a soul care how many educational degrees one possesses? Does a soul care how many square feet a house contains, or the number of cars which fit into its’ garage? Does a soul care what brand of car you own, or what position is held on the corporate ladder? Does nature care about such things? I think not!
Yet as individuals in the USA, this is what is most aimed for. We have been trained very well. We are all good students, followers and consumers. It is the very basis of our daily living.
I now ask and challenge you to take a moment and look at some examples of how far society has taken us. Are you not amazed to hear how much of the population is on mood stabilizing medication? IF we are on a path of truth, love and clarity, why is this medication needed at all? This is yet another integral part of the American Dream, and taken for granted without question. If you have an ailment, there is a pill for it. So many suffer from high cholesterol, high blood pressure, mental illness, chronic backaches, chronic headaches etc, etc. Not only are there pills for each and every one of these ailments, but there are also prescriptions to ease the symptoms of the first pills. This way of living is seen as the human reality. We look at such things as “normal” and expected. How ludicrous! Why do we accept this? Is it because there is always a convenient pill or belief to hide behind, and that independent thought or personal power would require a little extra effort? Have we become so lazy, so complacent and apathetic, that we can see no other alternative? Are we so entranced by the television, or so medicated that we live as walking Zombies without even realizing life is more than this? No one ever questions why so many pills or therapists are needed. In this day and age of advanced technology we have lost all sight of going within to find the cause of any illness. The cure for everything is within each and every one of us! We have the innate ability to cure ourselves of any illness, or better yet to prevent any illness. There is even an added bonus to going within and curing the cause of illness; you’ll experience no side effects from gaining personal power! The unquestioning need for “medication” is sad but true. It is becoming more and more prevalent in our artificial culture. I know of no other creature on earth that even has to consider a pill for everything under the sun. Natural living through spirit will keep any creature healthy and vibrant.
Many assume that as human beings we have the well-developed intellect for so much “progress”, and therefore, we are the only creatures capable of artificially creating a better life. I say not only do we have the brains to acquire advanced knowledge, but we also have the brains to invent clever lies and cover up the truth. We are a very “clever” species indeed, but not a very intelligent one. We have the technology to cover up just about any ailment, but we don’t have the foresight to get to its’ cause and cure it naturally. Our birthright is health, awareness and expansion. We won’t get that in a bottle, or a world of schedules and forced standards. These go against every part of our natural essence.
How many will actually have the courage to let go of false attachments? When will we have the insight to see that our individual concerns are unimportant in the overall scheme of planetary life? When this life is over, will any part of one’s personal history truly matter? Will the size of a paycheck or house do anything for the ascension of humankind? If we are all one, how are we helping each other to accomplish spiritual states of consciousness? What will it take to awaken everyone to what truly matters in the Grand Scheme of things? Nature is so grand, so vast, we cannot even imagine it with our tiny little brains. We all innately know this to be true. We all intuitively know we are ONE! Yet we have driven ourselves so far away from the true aspect of soul and unity, that now we must strive harder and harder to keep the momentum of destruction going. It does not matter to us that society is heading for world collapse. It does not matter that it is moving in the wrong direction, (away from natural laws) until our own extinction becomes inevitable. As the world dies, we keep ourselves busy, take more medication and strive for more and more possessions we really don’t need, in order to stay in this backward, de-evolutionary path. For a short while longer, this keeps us in denial of the truth. We choose not to see how fast our own self-destruction is approaching. Humanity is on a path of suicide, individually and globally. What will it take for us to remove the blinders before it is too late? Is it so painful to look within ourselves, and give up our luxuries? It might even be necessary to admit that we’ve made mistakes!
Is it really so painful to give up the false patriotism in a government we know is killing people and destroying the Earth? We do this only to stay under the security blanket of greed and power.
How many medications that only cover up symptoms and never get to the cause of any illness will each of us continue to take? The majority of these chemicals have side effects that are far worse than the symptoms they are covering up. When will we, as a species, choose to see the reality of the “world” we have created? What and how long will this take? Will it be 10 years, 10 months, 10 weeks, 10 days or 10 hours before we reach self-destruction, and the point of no return?
When will humans ask just one simple question…..Why? Does anyone have the courage to start asking why in all and every aspect of his or her life? It is time to stop making excuses. The time is now to stop accepting everything as “normal” or “just the way things are”. Modern society is anything but normal. It is time to stop being a programmed robot. Become the free and pure spirit you truly are! This potential is within each and every one of us. It may be the path rarely traveled, but it is the only path worth traveling.
Part 2 The Death of Ego
Leaving the path you are so accustomed to and comfortable with is not easy. Most or all of us have been on society’s fast track for so long, that this detour may feel like a leap off a cliff. The desire to go back to the old ways of living with it’s ludicrous though familiar belief systems may seem over-whelming at times. This can happen no matter how miserable or unhappy a person was in society’s way of life. Sometimes losing the familiar seems more terrifying than terror itself. The feeling of being in the “comfort” zone is a very strong one. The mode of acceptance and approval from others in life can be a very strong motivation to pull one back to old ways. Yet with any honesty it becomes obvious that where we thought we were strong, we often find true weakness. The strong “corporate player” is in fact a very weak spiritualist. Fears, beliefs, weaknesses and hidden agendas, are all brought to the forefront through introspection, honesty and connection to one’s true essence. These weaknesses, beliefs, fears and hidden agendas often appear so magnified and so powerful, that they may have the potential to hold you back. But this is true only if you let them do so. This is always your choice.
The knowledge that one had for living in society, will soon become utterly useless when humanity finally “uses up” the Earth. All the things one strove for and found important in life will be of absolutely no value. All the things once falsely believed in, will be brought out into full spiritual awareness. All the dark corners of the modern age will be revealed by the light of truth and clarity. Corruption will be seen for all its’ deception and betrayal and the people will regain their power.
There is no doubt that coming times will become quite harsh and uncomfortable. This is a process of awakening in the human spirit. It will demonstrate to all the betrayal by society by the institutions of our day for the sake of greed. It will also show that Spirit is all that truly matters in life. One will awaken from this deceptive way of life, and slowly begin to release society’s delusions. This is a process that comes about through a peeling away of the layers of belief and ego. This “ego-death” may be quite painful and uncomfortable. One will have to let go of the fear of judgement by others. One will have to stand alone, and see clearly the false values and beliefs of all the people in their lives. These people will include everyone from business associates, acquaintances, and friends to loved ones and family members. Be prepared to Understand and be misunderstood, at the very same time.
Good (natural) judgement and clear seeing, is what will keep the success of the spiritual path in sight. These two factors are sorely missing in the daily life of our society as it currently stands.
A re-defining of ones’ motivations, beliefs, yearnings and idea of “success” will be accomplished only through perseverance, and an inward journey toward the Truth. For there exists only one Truth, and no special “truths” which are only yours or mine. Truth is not based on what is convenient for any time or circumstance. To clearly see the Truth in all matters of living, and to live it out is the path of the Soul. To come from one’s true essence no matter what the social consequence, is the beginning of a path of progressiveness, evolution and ascension.
On this path of self-discovery, it is soon found that the only relevant substance left in life, is the one within the true self. Getting to this true essence, (the core of our inner being) may be the hardest part of the journey, not because it is really obscure, but because it has been covered over by layers of social conditioning. One will have to look at the way their life has been lived using the standard of universal truth, (and not false constructs, rules, laws or beliefs). A person will see how they deceived others and themselves, just to survive in our upside down world. The meaningless smiles on everyone’s faces are part of the song and dance. Most mean nothing. They will be seen by those who gain inner insight as false evidences appearing real, (fear). Through honesty we see that everything that is said and done by the majority is lived only because it is expected and conditioned within them. But never are the values of society a reflection of the heart and soul. Without “others” to compliment or validate them, people will have to dig deep inside themselves to find self-love, which in reality, is the only love required. This love may appear to be the hardest love to achieve, for it will be based only on the inner guidance of the soul and not the outward approval of others.
By living this life of truth, there will be virtually no one outside yourself to validate your life anymore. Anyone on this path will have to “feel” and “hear” all the reasons why they are wrong in living their lives in this “new” way. They will have to continue to spiritually progress in spite of all this “feedback”, with the “KNOWLEDGE” that all of society is wrong. They will have to get to the essence of their Being and stay there, to boldly speak the words, “I am right!” “This is the only path worth striving for!”
With all this change, and expansion, comes the re-opening of one’s strong intuitiveness. The Psychic Ability intrinsic within all of us becomes active once again. As we become aware of the way we are connected, (ONE) we feel the “vibrations” of those near by. When this happens, the world as a whole takes on an entirely new meaning. The spiritual person will have to move forward in this “psychic, social space” without medications or outward distractions. These only serve to distract and delude us. Artificial chemicals and distractions numb the true feelings and thoughtforms that surround us daily. As one becomes more aware and sensitive to the vibrations around them, it may again seem easier to fall back into old ways and habits, and to follow the world mind. At times this “world space”, (the psychic vibrations and thoughtforms of the masses) may feel overpowering. Psychic pressure from others will make it seem difficult to move forward. Hope may be lost for inner evolution or expansion. A feeling of giving in and giving up may overtake the seeker. It may seem far easier to go with the crowd, to be a part of the “World Mind” energy, than it is to follow a separate, natural path. One must realize that the World Energy wants everyone to stay in the status quo. Sometimes “the herd” goes terribly astray, as is the case today.
All and any type of manipulation will be used by others to bring one back into the “fold”. Accusations and statements to elicit emotional reactions will be utilized. Guilt, anger, frustrations, weeping, blame, abandonment and fear will be among the social and psychic weapons with which you must deal effectively. Sadly enough, these are only a few examples of the trials the spiritually minded must endure.
Additionally, as you are experiencing the vibrations, feelings, and words of this mass influence, you will also be facing your own doubts, fears and weaknesses. Each day, minute and second becomes a challenge. Many people you knew before your awakening may not want to speak to you or see you anymore. The way you live and the truth you speak will keep them away. They fear the loss of their “safety nets”, and will not want to look you in the eye. The old saying that the “truth will set you free” has far more depth and meaning than most ever imagine. And most do not want to face this in any real way, because freedom bears also the weight of self responsibility.
Is all this inner turmoil worth the effort? Is this a challenge and struggle one can overcome? Absolutely! But one needs to break away from mass beliefs and influence to persevere! Is this easier said than done? Oh yes it is, and this knowledge must stay with you throughout the journey. One must persist and hold on, until all the world and the self is seen with the eyes of clarity. One must stay focused on the goal of spirit at all times.
The spiritual road is a long one. The road may be hard, but after all this turmoil comes the reward of true connection to nature and one’s essence. With spiritual advancement there arises the realization that:
1) It does not matter what anyone else thinks.
2) Everyone is wrong and living in the wrong way, while attached to modern society.
3) The true intentions of those around you become transparent. They are seen no matter what mask is being worn or what appearances are portrayed. The smiles people wear and the words they speak very often have no merit, when seen with clarity, intuition and truth.
4) As awareness expands, it shows how this lifetime is but a speck in cosmic time.
5) Personality is of no importance. Only the soul has relevance.
6) In truth, you are following your soul’s intention for this life. The control that the world mind, (society) has on you is relinquished.
7) Things in your life start to happen for the highest good and overall benefit of all, as this becomes one of your true intentions. The path of your soul will naturally take you in this direction.
8) Ego and self-gratification fall away. A sense of peace replaces the fear and doubt experienced before.
9) It is important to meditatively live through the core of your essence, (as it begins to evolve and expand). Increasingly, you send out raised consciousness to the planet as a whole.
….Just to name a few.
Yes, this is freedom…freedom in truth, clarity and love. Freedom from the chains of false beliefs and destructive living that is so prevalent in society today.
How many will actually take this path? I venture to guess that less than .01% of our planets’ population will finally take these true purposes of life seriously. Most are going too fast and in the wrong direction. They deny themselves the choice to stop and look back upon what it is they are truly accomplishing.
The road back to one’s true essence may be twisty and bumpy. It can seem very long. The spiritual road contains many walls to transcend, bridges to cross and rocks to jump over. There are detours and potholes so large, (falsehoods) that one can fall in them for days. It is easy to feel there is no way to climb out of social illusions. Getting over these hurdles and removing the false beliefs of who one really is, may send the faint-hearted running home to “mother”. But for those that do persist and overcome these obstacles, the spiritual path is filled with the light of truth.
We then gain the crystal vision of clarity and a state of Cosmic love, rarely experienced on this planet.
