#9 Spirituality - Let me show you God !!!
FIRST DRAFT
The most 'disturbing' thing I have stated in these postings is possibly:
'Perception and creation. I think they are linked. I actually think they really are the same thing.
But that's a bit of a mind bender if one imagines that Everything one perceives - one creates.
But that may well be what's actually happening'.
and second is:
'But it's all a belief anyway -the whole world is a belief in our minds' .
And the third most 'disturbing' thing is
I feel there is lots and lots of scientific and metaphysical spooky stuff as compelling evidence that we have a potentially infinite capacity
And to be infinite in potential is to be Everything really and believe one is not Infinite.
Where Everything is in 'the mind of God'
(infinite awareness/the universal mind/The Tao)
The persona or identity -the Jane Doe would be a belief system - a creation within the whole possibly just for the fun of it!
This is called 'oneness' atm. We are 'waves in the sea' . 'Bubbles within infinite awareness'
Sand castles in the sand.
(....The mathematical analogy is 'we are sub-sets of God'.)
"There's no power outside of you in your hologram--not in anyone,not in anything. YOU have all the power in your hologram"
Robert Scheinfeld : "Busting Loose from the money game" Chapter 6. It's a very amazing book -with a strange title!!!
"Never was there anything outside of you. Never shall there be. The infinite expressed, a celebration to discover, YOU are the ONE."
Harry Palmer : "Love Precious Humanity", Chapter "Being" ...But have a look at his book "Living Deliberately" which is a free pdf.
But logically perhaps the "three disturbing things I have written" fall in this order:
1. oneness. we are all part of The Infinite Awareness and have it's infinite potential to create.
2. Everything is our dream. Everything,the whole World, Everything and Everybody is just an idea in our minds or consciousness.
3. To perceive is to simultaneously create Everything, to make it all up as we go along.
I could summarise these three concepts as:
4. Everything and Everyone, in the waking world is like one of our dreams - we just create it as we go along.
We have come full circle back to Rene Descartes' "Could life be a dream - as dreams seem so real?" [not a verbatim Descartes quote]
This is what we do in a dream -we just make it all up as we go along -the things, the people, everything.
Some dreams may be viewed as visiting other dimensions -I don't mean those!
Two Viewpoints: Infinite Awareness and a Human.
Infinite Awareness : Clearly from this point of view 4.(Life is a dream) is valid:
Everything is created by Me in My imagination.
Things are not created outside of Me, Infinite Awareness, because I embrace Everything: that's what Infinite Things are - all including.
Human: From my point of view, I got a keyboard in front of me and a strong desire for a cup of coffee.
4.(Life is a dream) is unreal - from the viewpoint of the Human Being.
Important note: definitions of "God"-
I sometimes default to using the word "God" for oneness the Infinite Awareness Thingie that is Everything.
My excursion into definitions of my 'God' within the english language and physical world go like this:-
"God" can mean funny and strange things when viewed from within the many religions
I am not defining God as someone who smites the greedy or judges the sinner or blesses his devotees.
My 'God' here is entirely neutral.
Certainly not male or female !!!
In fact to say this God is 'a being' or even 'being' is sort of less than i mean.
I don't even have my God here as - loving.
And not really - watching.
Maybe - witnessing.
My 'God' here the Infinite Everything just - is.
But even that seems a bit too much.
But I can't really say The Infinite Mind isn't female,isn't male, doesn't love,watch or witness either !!!
I am defining 'God' as without definition !
- which intellectually and academically is almost useless. Although a banana can't really be defined -can it? ...a 10,000 year old banana -is that still a banana? etc ....
'God is a banana' ... you are thinking that aren't you?...hehehe
From the Tao Te Ching + Paloma Porta:
God is defined in dictionaries and defined all over the place!!!
The Tao is the fabric of this 'defined God'.
I am not sure about this bit..."The Tao" is a wonderful way to express the Infinite Hugeness Thingie; but as I have said ,for me, it has the 'doctrine'(??) of the Tao Te Ching behind it where the Sage seems to have rejected ambition and academia as foolish and walks as a drifting bumpkin.
I know people that are very plugged in and switched on who have 'confessed' to having their sleeves rolled up to spread the word and make huge amounts of cash. Ironically those that live the Tao often work very hard at promoting it !!! Like I said before -maybe I need to read the Tao Te Ching again and besides Lao Tzu actually sat down and wrote the thing - maybe it's a book to open our eyes? I am no academic myself neither do I intend to read what academics think about it ! Forgive me -there are proper experts I can ask ! :)
'Infinite Awareness' is the best definition for what I mean by 'God' that I have seen within the english language.
1. 'Infinite Awareness' fits nicely with us each as individual consciousness within Infinite Awareness -consciousness means (in the english dictionary) - aware of being aware.
2. 'Infinite Awareness' is not really doing anything.
That's the best I can do for definitions of my 'God', with words...read on!
Find God Here !!! - Let me show you God !!! ... !!!
God can be seen!
Remember I have discussed in earlier posts ANOTHER whole range of perceptions available to us?
"Opening the Third Eye"
"Resonating with vibrations"
"Feeeling"
To find God - Infinite Awareness - look within yourself.
Look at a neutral object - a tree is a good one.
Just be aware of it.
What are you feeling?
That's God !!!
That's Infinite Awareness.
That's You !!!
How do we 'spiritual types' link the the two viewpoints together?
Infinite Awareness and Paloma Porta shopping for a new necklace?
5. We as a human or identity or consciousness, are actually just a creation within ourselves - within Infinite Awareness.
Mini-me is an idea within Me.
That's it for the moment.
I have shown you God -what more do you want?
LOL
Huggies
Love you

#8 Spirituality -How to change your mind
#8 Spirituality -How to change your mind
FIRST DRAFT
I have stated that one's mind is under one's absolute control.
The mind, your mind is under your control. You made it - it's yours.
If you think you didn't make your mind, or someone or something (advertising?) is controlling your mind, or you don't feel in control of your mind or worse 'your mind is dangerous' -God help you.
If so, change your beliefs and concepts you hold about your mind- your expectancy of your mind's function ; and rather rapidly!
You can do it.
And I considered that some ideas offered by well meaning and ignorant friends and educators can offer what Dr Bandler [The creator of NLP-Neuro Linguistic Programing], and others call a 'hypnotic suggestion'.
"Hypnotic Suggestions"
I would define a hypnotic suggestion as something offered to you ,that you adopt as true without really considering it.
Often it's in the middle of a load of stuff that makes sense and one has become accustomed to agreeing with the author.
eg "You have 2 weeks to live" (!)
or "With meditation we are trying to tame the incessant chatter of the mind" (eeek)
or "We have to find when an event occurred in our minds to truly clean it up" (omg)
Hypnotic Suggestions.
Anyone (or anything) that tries to tell you what you are, or how you think ,or what you cannot do, should be viewed at least with the greatest possible suspicion or if like Dr Bandler, you are a martial arts expert, be 'assisted' to the nearest hospital.
And watch out for the predictions of some medical doctors -you could make yourself seriously ill.
In fact any suggestion made to you that doesn't offer complete mental and physical health is a lie.
Neither will I tolerate the suggestion of increasing infirmity with old age !
Nope -that's my business.
But you don't have to believe all of that!!!
Just hold that you are in control of your mind.
What is the mind?
Kindly consider what are your expectations of your mind?
I really don't want to tell you what your mind is!
If I say it's full of this or that there is my concern that I am creating an expectation of your mind for you that you may adopt.
A hypnotic suggestion per the above.
Watch out for those -you've been warned twice!
If it doesn't resonate with you -flush it.
So your mind is yours -why look around and ask what it is?
It's like your car:
"-ohhh you got the X19. They are a complete nightmare!!!!"
...What do you want me to say?...lol
..."You think short thoughts"...hehehe ...I AM KIDDING
SO ANYTHING I SAY HERE - IF IT DOESN'T RESONATE WITH YOU - JUST IGNORE IT.
So here is your mind -it seems to offer thoughts.
Does your mind have a "mind of it's own" - just asking?
Do you feel in control of it?
Maybe some do - maybe some don't.
It's worth repeating
You are in absolute control of your mind.
I have discussed spirituality at length in these postings.
One is a spiritual being.
One is part of oneness the whole the Everything,The Infinite Awareness,The Universal Mind,The Collective Subconscious Mind... God...whatever.
Spirit is the law -and that's the only law there is.
But you don't have to believe all that !!!!!
Just believe that you are in control of your mind.
But you may well have experience and evidence to the contrary,
and you may have not.
Unwanted thoughts such as hatred or guilt or self blame? maybe? just asking?
I can assure you everything in your mind is there because you put it in there!
From here we have to look at Expectation and Beliefs.
Are you a 'jealous person' trying not to be jealous?
Do you feel 'guilt' because your friends,your religion or society think you should?
Try this experiment.
...Everything you think -hold up as only a creation and not fixed or written in stone.
The idea is that Everything you think is mutable,malleable changeable.
"I get jealous and I don't like it" . What is mental construct is holding this in place? The person should investigate for themselves but it could be:
"I cannot change my jealousy" ooops!
So what beliefs about your mind do you have?
Watch out for those "special" self help defeating constructs such as:
"Ohh the mysteries of the mind -it's unfathomable"
"I have a bad memory -how can I improve my mind?"
This is all total bs.
It's your mind -you made it- you control it ..and as I said despite 'evidence' to the contrary
If you don't believe that - God help you.
"Evidence" that we don't control our minds.
We do.
But experiential evidence may suggest we don't.
But this experience is based on what?
It is based on the beliefs , concepts and ideas we have.
Consider one's experience - it's yesterdays news!
Everything you think is under your control
Am i getting boring yet?
We hold onto a belief and it manifests as a stream of thought when faced with realities associated with it.
Consider this example
"What my father said to me, really hurt me"
Well if you create THAT don't be surprised when you burst into tears every time his name is mentioned.
Don't be astonished that you plummet into a depth of "unwanted" emotions and perhaps even have a blighted unhappy life because of it ---ouch!!!
Bursting into tears doesn't prove your mind is controlling you or is out of control -
it's just the manifestation of the "hurt by father" concept you have.
Experience and evidence of what happened points to a belief system only - an expectation.
It doesn't some how tell us the way things unchangeably are.
You have formed a belief ,a concept that has created the experience in the first place.
Bursting into tears time and time again doesn't prove your father hurt you - it just is a manifestation of your belief.
What your father said to you didn't hurt you.
You hurt yourself with "My father hurt me"
Maybe you felt that type of comment should hurt you -whatever.
The other person has no power over you -we just take these things on board
and some are hypnotic suggestions as I have said.
You are in complete control of your mind (yawn)
Low self esteem,lack of confidence,feelings of low self worth.
Whose idea is that?
Your friends' or some guy at a bus stop? Or a psychiatrist maybe -some highly educated expert, John's mother, Mr Bullrush at the Deli, your old and very clever flatmate at College?
Nope....incorrect....false....wrong.....go to the bottom of the class!!!!
It's your idea !!!
"But it's trueeeee" you wimper "I get sooo nervous and sweaty and I feel I am not worth anything"
Congratulations - you created a lack of confidence.
If I must say it -there are people dumber than you,less attractive than you, and that smell of biscuits -who think they are God's Ultimate Gift To Humanity.
Seriously -maybe you stutter,maybe you lisp, maybe you got no front teeth,maybe you got a scarred or somehow 'different' face or body.
Your belief is maybe:
"I have this -I am ashamed to go out -God has punished me - This is a 'message' that I should stay quiet - I am not worthy to be heard -people will stare at me -people will laugh at me" ?? I don't know
What do you believe about it?
If you are unusual people will notice - is that bringing up another belief about yourself?
"I don't want to be noticed"?
Change it to "I DO want to be noticed"!!!
"I don't want to be noticed because I got no self confidence"...go to the bottom of the class.
There were two women with a port-wine stain (?) on their faces -the big red patch thingie. One woman was totally screwed up by it and the other wouldn't have changed it for the whole world -it defined her as different and special and was actually great for picking up men!!!!! (The first one discovered some super new make-up and the second got married with children -so both had a happy ending).
They held different beliefs about it - and look at their different lives.
PATIENT Doctor, Doctor. It hurts when I do this!
DOCTOR Stop doing that!
You will find that the idea you have about yourself and your whole history of experience that makes it seem true hangs completely and only on a belief. And it is a self generated belief that you took on board from somewhere.
Change your belief about yourself -it takes about a minute. Just look at all of it and create something much more groovy.
I did this myself for years "I have no self confidence" ...eventually the penny dropped.
Fear of Spiders, fear of flying, claustrophobia,agoraphobia.
People can create things that are bigger than themselves.
They can create things that are senior to themselves.
This sounds wrong -but that's what happens.
Anything you decide has power over you, does have power over you!!!
Anything you decide is deep within and hard to fix in your mind -is deep within and hard to fix in your mind !!!
The future of how you think does not depend on your experience.
It depends on how you think now -your beliefs and expectations of your reactions etc to things.
"I was scared of this - so I will be scared of this." go to the bottom of the class again...lol
When really you will find:
"I believed I was scared of this -so I was scared of this"
"Now - I have changed my mind about it"
I don't expect many to suddenly vanquish these fears by reading this paragraph !
But that's the mechanism as I see it.
You gotta believe you are the omnipotent monarch of your mind.
What you think now is the Law.
So watch out for making and reinforcing your beliefs by your past experience.
But it's all a belief anyway -the whole world is a belief in our minds.
But you don't have to believe that !
How to fix stuff in the mind -
So you got an issue maybe. You hate picnics and you want to like picnics !
Don't create something 'buried in the past' that you have to find to resolve this.
Don't create it as 'just the way it is' either -it isn't!
Don't, as I have said, look at all the hated picnics and conclude that you dislike picnics.
All is changeable.
You can love picnics if you want to...If you want to.
Everything you believe and think and ponder about is where? or when?
It's all here right now.
Any expectation that is manifesting is here right now and available to view.
Then just see the whole picnic hatred idea - have a look at it.
Close your eyes maybe.
..and breathe...see it as something you made up.
...and breathe and let it go...let it fade away... You made it -let it disperse.
Do this a few times maybe or in one hit -until all the concept you created has vanished.
But don't think about it - don't think "that's right flies are dirty and flies fly on the food and it isn't hygienic cos one person is eating and the germs in there mouth travel on flies and wasps go onto my food and i might get ill like my mother did oh dear she was sooo sick and the doctor said it could have been some germs on her food and you never know what you can pick up.and its soo uncomfortable sitting on the ground and with all the kids shouting and screaming..." STOPPPP
Just feel the whole concept. Feel the whole idea. For me there really aren't many thoughts when i do this...it's a feeling. ..and let it go.
It's a kind of magic -feeling an idea about the world you have made and letting it disperse.
Tips: How to 'fix' stuff in the mind.
Tip #1
Imagine your whole Identity -everything you are as a blank canvas.
On this canvas you have written or painted
I am sensitive
I am honest
I love my children
I hate my Uncle Pete the slimy creep!!...lol
I love chocolate -yummmy.
See everything you have created about yourself as -a creation by self.
It is up to you what that 'self' or 'blank canvas' is:
part of God,
a spiritual being ,
a human brain
or 'you don't really know but you are aware of being aware'.
But so long as... big yawn...you feel you are in complete control of your mind.
Now when you bump into an idea in the mind you don't want, it's just another thing you have made. It doesn't kind of mean anything - it's like emptying the cigarette buts out of an ashtray - some are yours, some are from your mother and you just don't care -out they go!!!
We are just throwing stuff overboard from a ship.
"A heavy box, worried about keys, a small box, nervous on trains, another box, worries about coffee, a large crate, the 'sister-thing', another crate,etc".
In fact you could do that mentally - throw stuff overboard from your mind that you don't like.Try it?
Tip#2
Beliefs and constructs like "I am very sorry -but this is true :("
Maybe you are ugly,or getting older,or cannot turn your bottom/bum/butt back 30 years!
How metaphysical do you want to go?
Theoretically one can do anything.
But beware of the sneaky things written on the blank canvas - somethings really are just a creation by the self.
Remember, something is "True" only because you believe it is true.
.....have a feel around for ALL the concepts your are holding on a subject...see tip3.
Tip#3
Emotions.
Some beliefs may flood you with emotions.
This is not a hypnotic suggestion-
Don't create emotions if they are not there or because I am not telling you they are there for you.
It is my belief that emotions carry a set of beliefs with them.
Is this yours?
When I am upset or fearful or bored or contented my outlook on the whole of my life can vary from "What's the point -nothing I do makes any difference" to "I am mighty -watch me create!!!"
Tip3 is to maintain an exterior point of view. Be your own counselor
"Wooo a whole load of grief and upset here -eeek - I am crying"
Be neutral.
Remember the blank canvas.
Remember these are just Things, Creations, like a painting.
For spiritual types be your Higher Self perhaps and look (down?) on the persona, the 'Paloma Porta' before you with love and compassion.
Tip#4
Don't 'chew' on things.
This may be a habit of yours -it may not be !!!
To chew on stuff seems to be a human occupation. One feels a set of unhappy thoughts and just wallows in the horribleness of the idea or concept one has created.
It all seems so true. It's happened before so it will happen again.
You just sit there looking at the whole miserable concept - what a shame people just don't do the next steps !!
.Stay neutral -remember the blank canvas.
.See the 'thing' as a self created thing (and thus 'true')
.See the past experience as solely created by the ..'thing'.
.Now we've got the whole miserable 'thing' in mind from the chewing over of it...
.and let gooooooo, stop flowing your power to it.
...Phewww :))
Tip#5
Try this on Everything and Everybody
Try changing a person using this method !!!
Imagine the whole other person is just a creation in your consciousness!!!
Uncle Pete - see him as a construct in yr mind - like a fear of... ping pong balls.
Then run Uncle Pete through the process above.
See what happens.
But again here ,especially, don't think about it - 'that's ridiculous' etc.
Forget all the 'real world' stuff.
Just run poor old Uncle Pete , the slime-ball belief you have of him through the method.
Like I have said in other articles ...the labels we put on people can have an astonishing affect.
Maybe Uncle Pete isn't a slime ball after all.
Maybe Uncle Pete is still reported as a slime ball -but weirdly after this -he isn't with you!!!
Enjoy...lol
Tip#6
Don't think ...feeeeel
Don't go back to the mind to figure and understand all this
Mind generated understanding is the booby prise.
We are being The Divine, or Higher Self or consciousness or spirit or part of the brain (!) exterior to the mind.
Some call it the Watcher or the Witness.
I have labelled it as Neutral (in Tip#3) , as an umbrella term.
Just feel this.
And let the mental constructs go.
Tip#7
Don't think ..breathe
This seems to work.
Breathe into things - nice big breath in and slow breath out -whatever
Breathe - it seems to encourage feeling and diminish thinking.
Tip#8
Having let the old construct or idea of yourself go - dont' rush into creating yourself as the the most confident person ever or LOVING spiders.
Just relaxxxxx.
There's a thing called spiritual greed - just chill out - get enlightenment after lunch tomorrow -chilll.
If you purge some life changing beliefs you may find you're a bit of a different person.
Relax into any new horizons a little.
...
Stuff may happen that you cannot explain.
For us spiritual types this is an excellent sign !!!
Don't try to explain it with the physical world as defined by the english language.
Just smile :))
Conclusion
You gotta believe you are the Lord God Almighty of your mind.
There is no power but yourself that can control what goes in there.
Everything that comes out of your mind as thoughts,judgments,labels that you put on things , is all of your own creation.

The future of how you think does not depend on your experience.
It depends on how you think now -your beliefs and expectations of your reactions etc to things.
"I was scared of this - so I will be scared of this." go to the bottom of the class again...lol
When really you will find:
"I believed I was scared of this -so I was scared of this"
"Now - I have changed my mind about it"
I don't expect many to suddenly vanquish these fears by reading this paragraph !
But that's the mechanism as I see it.
You gotta believe you are the omnipotent monarch of your mind.
What you think now is the Law.
So watch out for making and reinforcing your beliefs by your past experience.
But it's all a belief anyway -the whole world is a belief in our minds.
But you don't have to believe that !
How to fix stuff in the mind -
So you got an issue maybe. You hate picnics and you want to like picnics !
Don't create something 'buried in the past' that you have to find to resolve this.
Don't create it as 'just the way it is' either -it isn't!
Don't, as I have said, look at all the hated picnics and conclude that you dislike picnics.
All is changeable.
You can love picnics if you want to...If you want to.
Everything you believe and think and ponder about is where? or when?
It's all here right now.
Any expectation that is manifesting is here right now and available to view.
Then just see the whole picnic hatred idea - have a look at it.
Close your eyes maybe.
..and breathe...see it as something you made up.
...and breathe and let it go...let it fade away... You made it -let it disperse.
Do this a few times maybe or in one hit -until all the concept you created has vanished.
But don't think about it - don't think "that's right flies are dirty and flies fly on the food and it isn't hygienic cos one person is eating and the germs in there mouth travel on flies and wasps go onto my food and i might get ill like my mother did oh dear she was sooo sick and the doctor said it could have been some germs on her food and you never know what you can pick up.and its soo uncomfortable sitting on the ground and with all the kids shouting and screaming..." STOPPPP
Just feel the whole concept. Feel the whole idea. For me there really aren't many thoughts when i do this...it's a feeling. ..and let it go.
It's a kind of magic -feeling an idea about the world you have made and letting it disperse.
Tips: How to 'fix' stuff in the mind.
Tip #1
Imagine your whole Identity -everything you are as a blank canvas.
On this canvas you have written or painted
I am sensitive
I am honest
I love my children
I hate my Uncle Pete the slimy creep!!...lol
I love chocolate -yummmy.
See everything you have created about yourself as -a creation by self.
It is up to you what that 'self' or 'blank canvas' is:
part of God,
a spiritual being ,
a human brain
or 'you don't really know but you are aware of being aware'.
But so long as... big yawn...you feel you are in complete control of your mind.
Now when you bump into an idea in the mind you don't want, it's just another thing you have made. It doesn't kind of mean anything - it's like emptying the cigarette buts out of an ashtray - some are yours, some are from your mother and you just don't care -out they go!!!
We are just throwing stuff overboard from a ship.
"A heavy box, worried about keys, a small box, nervous on trains, another box, worries about coffee, a large crate, the 'sister-thing', another crate,etc".
In fact you could do that mentally - throw stuff overboard from your mind that you don't like.Try it?
Tip#2
Beliefs and constructs like "I am very sorry -but this is true :("
Maybe you are ugly,or getting older,or cannot turn your bottom/bum/butt back 30 years!
How metaphysical do you want to go?
Theoretically one can do anything.
But beware of the sneaky things written on the blank canvas - somethings really are just a creation by the self.
Remember, something is "True" only because you believe it is true.
.....have a feel around for ALL the concepts your are holding on a subject...see tip3.
Tip#3
Emotions.
Some beliefs may flood you with emotions.
This is not a hypnotic suggestion-
Don't create emotions if they are not there or because I am not telling you they are there for you.
It is my belief that emotions carry a set of beliefs with them.
Is this yours?
When I am upset or fearful or bored or contented my outlook on the whole of my life can vary from "What's the point -nothing I do makes any difference" to "I am mighty -watch me create!!!"
Tip3 is to maintain an exterior point of view. Be your own counselor
"Wooo a whole load of grief and upset here -eeek - I am crying"
Be neutral.
Remember the blank canvas.
Remember these are just Things, Creations, like a painting.
For spiritual types be your Higher Self perhaps and look (down?) on the persona, the 'Paloma Porta' before you with love and compassion.
Tip#4
Don't 'chew' on things.
This may be a habit of yours -it may not be !!!
To chew on stuff seems to be a human occupation. One feels a set of unhappy thoughts and just wallows in the horribleness of the idea or concept one has created.
It all seems so true. It's happened before so it will happen again.
You just sit there looking at the whole miserable concept - what a shame people just don't do the next steps !!
.Stay neutral -remember the blank canvas.
.See the 'thing' as a self created thing (and thus 'true')
.See the past experience as solely created by the ..'thing'.
.Now we've got the whole miserable 'thing' in mind from the chewing over of it...
.and let gooooooo, stop flowing your power to it.
...Phewww :))
Tip#5
Try this on Everything and Everybody
Try changing a person using this method !!!
Imagine the whole other person is just a creation in your consciousness!!!
Uncle Pete - see him as a construct in yr mind - like a fear of... ping pong balls.
Then run Uncle Pete through the process above.
See what happens.
But again here ,especially, don't think about it - 'that's ridiculous' etc.
Forget all the 'real world' stuff.
Just run poor old Uncle Pete , the slime-ball belief you have of him through the method.
Like I have said in other articles ...the labels we put on people can have an astonishing affect.
Maybe Uncle Pete isn't a slime ball after all.
Maybe Uncle Pete is still reported as a slime ball -but weirdly after this -he isn't with you!!!
Enjoy...lol
Tip#6
Don't think ...feeeeel
Don't go back to the mind to figure and understand all this
Mind generated understanding is the booby prise.
We are being The Divine, or Higher Self or consciousness or spirit or part of the brain (!) exterior to the mind.
Some call it the Watcher or the Witness.
I have labelled it as Neutral (in Tip#3) , as an umbrella term.
Just feel this.
And let the mental constructs go.
Tip#7
Don't think ..breathe
This seems to work.
Breathe into things - nice big breath in and slow breath out -whatever
Breathe - it seems to encourage feeling and diminish thinking.
Tip#8
Having let the old construct or idea of yourself go - dont' rush into creating yourself as the the most confident person ever or LOVING spiders.
Just relaxxxxx.
There's a thing called spiritual greed - just chill out - get enlightenment after lunch tomorrow -chilll.
If you purge some life changing beliefs you may find you're a bit of a different person.
Relax into any new horizons a little.
...
Stuff may happen that you cannot explain.
For us spiritual types this is an excellent sign !!!
Don't try to explain it with the physical world as defined by the english language.
Just smile :))
Conclusion
You gotta believe you are the Lord God Almighty of your mind.
There is no power but yourself that can control what goes in there.
Everything that comes out of your mind as thoughts,judgments,labels that you put on things , is all of your own creation.

#7 Spirituality - A New Positive Thinking
#7 Spirituality - A New Positive Thinking
[ Comments on the Tao Te Ching removed from here - it didn't fit - maybe something later ]
Recap.
"The world is your lobster."
Arthur Daley (the actor George Cole in the TV series 'Minder')
This is better than the maxim I have been using:
"Spirit is the Law and that's the only law there is"
:))
The world really is our oyster.
Want do you want to do with it?
I have written that the world is a malleable thing that can be bent and shaped and created to our will.
I have suggested that if we examine our lives we find all has transpired has aligned with our expectation,or beliefs of what will happen.
There is a 'cop-out' clause within this model , namely:
The random expectancy.
Things one doesn't expect, 'good or bad', are predetermined by our will also as:
"Some things happen that I do not expect - surprises"
or to talk in the parlance of our time:
"Shit Happens!" !!!
Thus we have the full spectrum of life and actually everything in it as created by our expectancy.
Intellectually I have argued this sits as a hypothesis only and is open to valid attack by the reasoning mind. It is easily discredited perhaps.
But I have suggest one 'opens one's third eye' and feels or 'feeeeeels'.
Here we go -we feel the vibration of things and set aside all our learning and cultural conditioning and experience; we can use a set of metaphysical and not physical perceptions to see what's really going on!!!
For myself and others a whole new spectrum of data is now visible -
The day to day reality seems to be more and more of an illusion of solidity.
The past and linear time seem to fade in actuality and become more of a concept that we hold as true.
'So mote it be' as the witches say seems to be our mantra.
Alrighty then...what now?
Firstly I have put forward a methodology a mini technology for creating what one wants.
This involves having faith in something higher or greater than one's persona or identity so as to try to achieve a 100% certainty that one's newest expectation will manifest.
Faith. Faith in the Higher Self, the guidance of animal guides,one's subconscious intuition,one's innate connection to the Infinite Thingie - whatever one is comfortable with.
In this way one transcends the cultural expectation which seems to tell us the world is solid and outside of ourselves and that to change it one must use a scalpel or bulldozer.
Faith is the key.
Faith in one's creative power.
I can see no other prerequisites.
One doesn't needs to be enlightened and give off a soft white light from one's body like some of the old Gurus.
If Napoleon Hill can envision it in his book "Think and Grow Rich"- anyone can do it.
I have also recommended a fail safe method where one can bypass a need for continuous 100% certainty and can fall back on the briefest moment of pure faith.
This was simply to create the idea that one doesn't need faith all the time!
The expectancy of results without faith !
Mentally one laughs at one's most serious doubts, scorns friends that deride and mocks the most expert academics that say it cannot be done.
One creates an indomitable faith that actually strengthens the more one doesn't believe it!!!
It's cheating!!! :))
Trust me -there really is bugger all you cannot do ...lol
Re Money,perfect health and personal ambition
I have not really been thinking about money here.
I don't really care about any of the above these days.
I do get frightened by hospitals though- you know something is wrong and you hope to hell you can fix it...lol
I might suggest that the acquisition of personal goals comes from a belief that:
"The more stuff and money I have, the easier my life will be, the less worry I will have , the more things I can do,the more fun stuff I can buy... and...and... the happier I will be."
If this rings as true -and it does often sound true (hehe) realise that it is true because one makes it true.
If you find yourself repeatedly creating more wealth etc then throw in the odd
"I am an enlightened being" in there too for good measure.
Actually try that one in the back garden - and watch the sky and clouds and flowers -it's really nice :))
[ Comments on the Tao Te Ching removed from here - it didn't fit - maybe something later ]
Okay -what next?
Well there are several ways one's creations play out:
Judgments
Labels
Beliefs
Expectation
But what does one do - examine every thought to see if it makes the grade?
NEW REVISED UPDATED POSITIVE THINKING ...LOL
Suddenly positive thinking takes on a new form.
It's positive creation.
Normally with the old positive thinking the 'positive thought' seemed surreal at best or even a downright lie
eg The person has just had their car stolen,lost £300 in cash from a pocket and their son has been sent home from school for smoking marijuana.
"Everything is great -all is perfect" - they announce weakly and not believing a word of it.
But reconsider.
1. The past doesn't really exist -it's mutable malleable thing
2. and so is the physical world
3. and so is the future.
4. in fact everything is no 'up in the air' and not solid at all.
Let us rework the example above - with positive creation
"This illusion of the past seems a bit bit bleak -but I assure you all is going to be tons better than that soon -very soon"
We must try to teleport ourselves into this New World.
A world where one's thought is the Monarchy. I read somewhere that one is the absolute sovereign of one's world.
One is the God of one's own world.
So think groovy thoughts about it.
Positive creation.
So mote it be!!!
So let's say you have had 20 years of dullness in your life. The wrong job,the inability to get free of financial limitations and a domestic environment that was loving enough but didn't quite sparkle as one had hoped.
Firstly -did any of this happen?
Past traumas I have discussed -did they really happen? - Or are we creating them in present time?
It's a bit of a mind bender -but are you a spiritual being or what?
Take a fantasy or funny event out of a dream of your imagination and copy/paste it into yr past.
The neighbour dropping the piano out of the 2nd floor window. Whoops!
That attractive policeman that gave you the speeding ticket -what did you do with him on the hard shoulder? lol
Go for it -create a past of god-like sexual conquest if you like.
Create some romantic sunsets with your partner.
Cars,holidays,people,concerts, -the world is your lobster!!!
Do not concern yourself that these are not the "real thing" - because what is real?
So mote it be.
If you must insist on creating the past you have in your mind as actually happening in linear time.
So what ?
Everything is here in this moment, The Now and the future awaits.
But I assure you your memory of the past and any proof of it you may offer is all your creation.!!!
Positive thinking.
Positive creation.
You got a blank canvas.
Why poo on it?
The Earth, Humanity and 2012 and positive creation (positive thinking)
Such expressions as
"We are destroying our planet"
"Humanity needs to stop doing this and that"
"Humanity needs to change it's path of destruction"
"Nothing will get done unless there is profit in it"
So be it -so mote it be -
EEEEEEK!!!
It's all just poo on the blank canvas.
I will accept:
"Our planet is a wonderful place -so blue -like a gem shining in space"
"Humanity has reason and is learning from what it imagines it past was.
"Humanity is changing-a spiritual awakening is ongoing - and almost everyone sees our planet as a precious thing".
Doubting you abilities to create?
Have faith in your infinite potential !!
Are you a Creator of Worlds or a meat body human worrying about the faulty clasp on your new handbag? (The first one..lol)
One doesn't need to be the new president of Libya or invent anti-gravity boots to change the world.
We can do it by thought.
By creation.
Being is almost doing -just send out some.. like...you know...positive waves.
Positive creation.
Start picking up on cultural and collective positivity -the Mayan idea of 2012 as a time for change is a nice one.
Start mentally amplifying those ideas -not the pollution/destruction/cannot change ones.
You can talk them up a bit with your friends -put them out there.
Let's see the magick!
-I did a little thing this morning,my friend overslept and missed her train -I created an hour by magic in the middle there -she caught the train a full hour later and yet suddenly despite all her the-day-before-time-calculations she still arrived at the airport 2hours 20minutes before check in!!!
We looked at our watches - 'Wow it's only 4am!'
She had no idea - I just fixed it.
When I try to think about it nothing makes sense -the times and everything -it just doesn't fit into my mind at all - but I feel what I did -it just went like that. Magick.
A friend of mine drove his old car at 60mph for an hour. he covered 100 miles....lol
You can do this too -maybe you do it all the time -people don't advertise this type of ability so it's a lot more common than you think*.
*hehehe -I started already -changing the world - can you feel it?
FINAL THOUGHTS on Positive Creation, positive thinking..
[from "The Matrix" film]...
MORPHEUS ...Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world.
Just feel this.
Feel the blank canvas.
The moment one thinks about it - one can fall into the identity , body-mind, and anti-dandruff shampoo.
So just feel this.
With what shall we fill this blank canvas - this void?
How shall we fill the Akashic record, the record of the ages, the whole of time?
Let's create something positive!
Something groovy.
Something decent.
Something with lots of chocolate.
Magick Rules OK.

#6 Spirituality -What will you create?
Spirituality -What will you create?
FIRST DRAFT -
It's not hard to imagine the devastation humanity has accomplished on Gaia.
Kindly reconsider the old rant about pollution and my particular hobby horse ; humanities wildly accelerating population.
We are all familiar with the concepts of de-forestation, the extinction of species and the view that human beings are a rapidly spreading parasite or virus here on Earth.
To some, the human is Nature's anti-christ.
Humanity itself seems driven by the 'body mind'. That part of the mind that fights like any animal for survival at all costs.
People often would rather live lives of painful desperation than die.
This rationale also reflects in the collective cultural doctrines:
"If one person can be saved..."
Humanity seems outside of Nature.
At this point one can see some sort of error in the argument. Humanity clearly is within Nature here on Earth. We are on Earth - we are in Nature.
I have stated before - all is well - everything is a dream in the mind of God.
But I could add to this:
"All is perfect",
otherwise there is some error in the Creator's set up.
To say some things are wrong or bad could be argued as telling God,the Infinite Awareness - that it has made a mistake.
Perhaps if it's all a dream in God's imagination the it is better to state that:
"Nothing Matters".
But that doesn't feel right either!
What could be an expanded revised view concerning the above :de-forestation,extinction of species, humanities accelerating breeding and pouring of more concrete?
Our BIG BANG.
Jupiter the planet is HUGE and catches a lot of BIG asteroids. When one day it doesn't humanity could become another dinosaur.
People could look up at the fires in the sky and everyone will realise it's GAME OVER!
The earth meanwhile will continue,perhaps wobbling around the sun in a slightly new orbit and flora and fauna will carry on without us....Gaia will say to herself "Ouch" or maybe "Whoops" and that's that.
Everything everywhere is consciousness. Consciousness is a guarantee . Life forms and human bodies are not.
The prospect of this type of holocaust scenario engenders an emotion of resignation. It doesn't seem good or bad anymore. Just life. And death.
Perhaps we could see our slow and gradual destruction of the planet in the same way?
Could a concrete planet,of 100 billion humans fed by processed food bars,processed water, processed oxygen and sprinkled with museums of lost species be our future?
In which case the earth's holocaust would have occurred except it is humanity that has remained and not a smattering of other life forms on the impacted(!) planet.
For me either holocaust,the big hitting asteroid or a gradual human destruction by over population are neither good nor bad.
But it would be a shame.
Decency
The concrete planet - human only scenario seems indecent.
There is a pitiful lack of responsibility in it.
It has been said that "decency" is senior to responsibility and ethics and morals.
A God, a minor deity might easily decide that the life of an ant in a particular situation ranked higher than that of a human being...some drunken fool staggers out of a bar and decides "all bugs should be squished" - our demi-god sees this as not decent and smites him dead and that's before his lowering boot has flattened his first ant. The demi-god factors in grieving relatives and the "tragedy" as reported by the local newspaper - but still sees this as the decent thing to do.
Indecency is a type of 'wrong' perhaps when I suggested there is no right or wrong.
But indecency isn't wrong; it isn't all of wrongness,because definitions of right and wrong also contain the 'lower harmonics' of human survival computations. Decency and indecency are perhaps senior also to right and wrong, and to good and bad.
What right have we to do this to our planet?
We elbow Nature out of the way.
It's not decent.
But we are Creators.
I have offered in earlier articles on this blog, that our thoughts manifest as objects in the world.
Some people feel they can access their Higher Self or even the Infinite.
We are Creators and this I suggest is the true feeling of detachment we have with Nature and all the world.
We are part of Nature only inasmuch as we are creating Nature and ourselves within it.
As Creators of our world we must decide on the model.
From this perspective :
Shall we make only horror movies?
Or shall we have some with a bit of love and compassion?
Some with decency.
So I have revised my view on good and bad and right and wrong and responsibility and ethics and morals and humanity and our role in Nature.
This I can summarise thus:
You are a God - what will you create?

FIRST DRAFT -
It's not hard to imagine the devastation humanity has accomplished on Gaia.
Kindly reconsider the old rant about pollution and my particular hobby horse ; humanities wildly accelerating population.
We are all familiar with the concepts of de-forestation, the extinction of species and the view that human beings are a rapidly spreading parasite or virus here on Earth.
To some, the human is Nature's anti-christ.
Humanity itself seems driven by the 'body mind'. That part of the mind that fights like any animal for survival at all costs.
People often would rather live lives of painful desperation than die.
This rationale also reflects in the collective cultural doctrines:
"If one person can be saved..."
Humanity seems outside of Nature.
At this point one can see some sort of error in the argument. Humanity clearly is within Nature here on Earth. We are on Earth - we are in Nature.
I have stated before - all is well - everything is a dream in the mind of God.
But I could add to this:
"All is perfect",
otherwise there is some error in the Creator's set up.
To say some things are wrong or bad could be argued as telling God,the Infinite Awareness - that it has made a mistake.
Perhaps if it's all a dream in God's imagination the it is better to state that:
"Nothing Matters".
But that doesn't feel right either!
What could be an expanded revised view concerning the above :de-forestation,extinction of species, humanities accelerating breeding and pouring of more concrete?
Our BIG BANG.
Jupiter the planet is HUGE and catches a lot of BIG asteroids. When one day it doesn't humanity could become another dinosaur.
People could look up at the fires in the sky and everyone will realise it's GAME OVER!
The earth meanwhile will continue,perhaps wobbling around the sun in a slightly new orbit and flora and fauna will carry on without us....Gaia will say to herself "Ouch" or maybe "Whoops" and that's that.
Everything everywhere is consciousness. Consciousness is a guarantee . Life forms and human bodies are not.
The prospect of this type of holocaust scenario engenders an emotion of resignation. It doesn't seem good or bad anymore. Just life. And death.
Perhaps we could see our slow and gradual destruction of the planet in the same way?
Could a concrete planet,of 100 billion humans fed by processed food bars,processed water, processed oxygen and sprinkled with museums of lost species be our future?
In which case the earth's holocaust would have occurred except it is humanity that has remained and not a smattering of other life forms on the impacted(!) planet.
For me either holocaust,the big hitting asteroid or a gradual human destruction by over population are neither good nor bad.
But it would be a shame.
Decency
The concrete planet - human only scenario seems indecent.
There is a pitiful lack of responsibility in it.
It has been said that "decency" is senior to responsibility and ethics and morals.
A God, a minor deity might easily decide that the life of an ant in a particular situation ranked higher than that of a human being...some drunken fool staggers out of a bar and decides "all bugs should be squished" - our demi-god sees this as not decent and smites him dead and that's before his lowering boot has flattened his first ant. The demi-god factors in grieving relatives and the "tragedy" as reported by the local newspaper - but still sees this as the decent thing to do.
