Zigzag Idiot

Everybody means well,,, Judgement divides. Forgiveness unites. My metaphor for forgiveness- A nondual reset button. We exist in nonduality anyhow. It just has to be realized.

A Course in Miracles is described as a transformational curriculum in Self-realization, through forgiveness. "Forgiveness is the means by which we will remember. Through forgiveness the thinking of the world is reversed. The forgiven world becomes the gate of Heaven, because by its mercy we can at last forgive ourselves. Holding no one prisoner to guilt, we become free. Acknowledging Christ in all our brothers, we recognize His Presence in ourselves. Forgetting all our misperceptions, and with nothing from the past to hold us back, we can remember God. Beyond this, learning cannot go. When we are ready, God Himself will take the final step in our return to Him". - From the preface of the book. The seemingly Patriarchal language is a turnoff for many and that's unfortunate. I personally see Patriarchality as the current ruin of the world which is lacking in the feeling capacity of the feminine and overweighted in the predominance of the dry intellect of the masculine. So if this prejudice of seemingly Patriarchal language exists with you as it was with me and is seen past, there are gifts waiting to be received here,,,,, For me also, this book reconciles the former disparities I experienced with Christianity. It's a course in "Self Realization" and is concerned with how one can "have their being". Free online "urtext" of A Course in Miracles http://a.courseinmiracles.com/#gsc.tab=0

2 or 3 years before the Power Of Now. Ken Carey's The Third Millennium had a major impact on me. I'm sure it made me more receptive to Power Of Now. After Power Of Now and during my early Years as a Gurdjieff reader, I encountered Jim Marion's Putting on the Mind of Christ. It really reoriented parts of my understanding. He writes about Psychic Consciousness, Christ Consciousness, Dark night of the Soul, nondual consciousness and lots more. I lost my old copy and bought it again a couple of years ago.

@VictorB02 Welcome, Thanks for sharing. You can do it! Great video. That guy is an inspiration. Ive gone back and forth with Cannabis habit most of my life. Years off then years on, kind of thing. When I've been on a long streak of heavy smoking, Quiting usually involves 10 -14 days of irritability and then I'm 'home free' in a way. This has more or less been the rule. I know everybody differs in this,,,, After a couple weeks, it's not really that much of a temptation because the novelty of increased perception is valued. Like the guy in the video says about the dramatic increase in awareness and energy which happens fairly quick, I can attest to. Graham Hancock was a late bloomer but laid it down after a 24 year daily habit.

Being Right Is the Last Consolation of Ignorance To Awaken is to question every single thing which is received as knowledge and to do so ruthlessly until ideas can be verified by concrete experience. Otherwise I am enslaved by belief and sing another's song like a mocking bird who, though his song is beautiful, is doomed to repeat a borrowed tone, an echo from one who has already flown away. Questioning belief places one squarely alone in the vastness of the unknown, where Inquiry can serve as a guiding light in the Soul's dark night. To question the very self, to doubt it's airtight certainty is to abandon the condition of being right Red Hawk - Wreckage with a beating heart; 2005, Impromptu Book Report trivia Things declared and things implied in Beelzebub's Tales To His Grandson: Humanity is in a deep spiritual sleep. chi = Prana = Kundalini rising up through a body with ordinary Consciousness creates a deeper 'spiritual sleep' utilizing ones own imagination in deep yet subtle ways. (Kundabuffer) Leo explains it well in his 3 videos on self deception, by the way,,, Atlantis really did exist and was destroyed by natural disaster ( "second Transapalnian perturbation"). Remnants of Atlantean population and Culture made it to Ancient Egypt and were responsible for the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid. The universe has a diverse population. (Of course) Christianity exisited before Jesus. Most people are born without a completely formed Soul. Once we start forming a Soul, we have a limited number of lifetimes to form it through overcoming narcissism which then allows the natural condition of love/non-duality. Achieving this Awakening takes an enormous effort because of the nature of humanities slumber. Some dogs have more of a soul than some humans. An incomplete soul is bound to this Solar system after death of the body and will eventually disintegrate. Ive yet to reconcile Gurdjieffs teaching about people having only part souls and Leo's body of knowledge. If anyone knows a correlation, please let me know. Also, There is no hell. Yet, earth is a pain factory,,,, Kingdom of Heaven is within same as Kingdom of Heaven = nondual consciousness. Eternal life does exist for 'completed souls'. I welcome comments, questions and criticism on everything I post except my attempts at unfolding the Science of Idiotism. It needs some space around it for it to develop. If I get anywhere with it, then at some point, I'll probably open it up for debate and scrutiny.

You brazen hussy

Or is he yellow who appears orange?

Yeah, excuse me. I understand,,,,, I tend to go off on tangents,,,,,,?

Our thinking is very limited when our feelings are dulled. When our feelings are purified of negativity and judgement. Beliefs no longer have any meaning because a person is then accessing understanding and knowing. It sounds like your intuition is leading you towards truth and becoming freer.

No.,,,,,,? Gurdjieff wasn't a Vegan. Which doesn't matter either way to me. He was just practical. Aquired Conscience juxtaposed with awakened Conscience. Aquired Conscience changes from culture to culture. It's mostly self contradictory moralistic flimsiness implanted by conditioning. Aquired Conscience makes one a slave to group think. This is how people are made into little zombies unable and unwilling to think for themselves. Awakened Conscience is the same in all people, when accessed. It is the small, still voice within which nondual realized Beings access for what's necessary in the moment. Aquired Conscience is the voice of the super ego and the shackles used by religion and culture. Eating the flesh of other beings DOES make people less sensitive and more violent. Vegans and Vegetarians with an unawakened Conscience are often self righteous and piled full of self conflict, negativity and violence in their judgements of others. Just like the ignorant rednecks who ridicule Vegitarians as "snowflakes".

If you encounter a state of consciousness that is more vivid and fulfilling than anything you've ever known and then the Pendulum swings into the negativity and shadow, two things come to mind. Although there are many more than two possibilities here. Both of the ones I'm thinking of have to do with Kundalini and Kundabuffer. If you "fall apart" or off the "edge of the world". You may be entering a Kundalini awakening. If after the pendulum swings and while in shadow the person looks back and is just cynical and dismissive for a few days and then returns into the light of optimism,,,,, That's symptomatic and an indication of having no real understanding of self deception and especially the subtlest of forms of being polluted by our own imagination. This is The consequences of Kundabuffer.I was fooling myself for a long time. That's why I can write things about it. It's very subtle in how it pollutes us. Within the first year that I heard the idea that 991/2 % of everyone is in spiritual sleep. I, of course sincerely felt that I was in that 1/2 %,,, had to be. Life was SO real, at times. And same type of situation in one being a multiplicity; 'man is legion'. That too.,,, I'm special, you know because at times I feel so alive,,, sure I have moods,,, but, everyone has moods,,,,, Here I stayed for years off and on doing Inquiry. Being cooked in an alchemical Kundalini fire can destroy parts of the personality. Some say that is Kundalini's basic purpose. I don't know? It's said in some of the Work literature that we won't be "shown" devastating truths unless one is capable of enduring it. This is the price of equanimity. I'm still making payments from time to time. I'm seriously considering finding a way to do some trippin with 5-MeO-DMT and see where that goes.

"This knowledge was still known in the middle ages when the few remaining secret wisdom schools were threatened by the inquisition. In the year 1299 a group of cabbalists, sufis and artisans (companions, not freemasons), invented a covert means to teach the meaning of the 52, and use it as a means of divination. They invented the deck of 52 playing cards, completely separate and apart from the tarot which was known and condemned by the establishment church. This is essentially the same playing cards known today all over the world. The cards were originally invented and used to create a seemingly harmless facade for their spiritual, "heretical" teachings. With the 52 playing cards they were able to teach the arcana openly in the inns where they met. If the gestapo-inquisition came by, they would pretend it was just a game. At worse they were only guilty of a lesser sin of gambling, not of heresy." -R.C.L. FACE CARDS KING: The start is to have the right livelihood , to have friends of other walks of life, to accept your instincts and needs , and to know in which field you have real mastery. Thus the path to Wisdom starts from mastery, from a position of health and attainment, and goes to the Ace, the unified field of awareness. QUEEN: The mastery and competence should become the status, a profession respected by others. You have to accept your place in society and family and become a personality , visible and desirable to others, being honest, sincere and trustworthy, not hiding any weakness. JACK: Due to our brain structure we learn our whole life. The starting point is work. By working to make things better, you evolve, make progress and join a team working to the same end. Out of this group effort your belief system improves and your faith is born. This will lead to fulfillment in your Spiritual Path . NUMBER CARDS (10) - In the depth of your Self, the core of your Being, you have the vision of ideals to attain. This vision gives you hope and the courage to strive: Beauty for sensing, Truth for thinking, Goodness for feeling, and impartial Justice for willing. Justice, not in the Roman, but in the Chinese interpretation: finding your right place in the cosmic order and in the golden chain of being. (9) - The striving for these infinite ideals enables you to plan and invent your own future projects. You program your own human computer, and carrying out your inventions as scriptwriter, producer and actor. You plan your life software, putting in additional time, linking it up with your dream , and thereby find the link to the muses , the inspiration. (8) - You then accept full responsibility for your dream and position. To do this, and act consciously as a leader, you must be able to explain , and to create appropriate methods or rituals for common action. You learn to trust the beyond, your angel , and your inner voice. (7) - Knowing your stand you have to fight for your values, even to death. You have to take the initiative. Remain open to questioning and assertions , nobody is ever totally in the right, the devil and evil are an invention of power people. You have to realize that forces of nature help you to find your individuation by way of omens and agreements, getting help from the nature spirits , the elementals. (6) - Whoever has real power can communicate , discuss and make statements in dialogue, instead of argument. You thereby establish the right priorities and link your own work with history and the ancestors . (5) - Having thus fulfilled your public and social duties, you turn to your own life. You start to have deeper insights into your self and your way, to discern more and more clearly and distinctly. You qualify and fine tune and analyze your statements about reality. Knowing your norm , your competence never transgresses it. In this way you find your true human identity . (4) - The real human will be able to take their wishes, their true desires as positive motivations. They will see them in their totality, in mental representations, and balance them in the center. Then you will develop the right strategies to attain them, just like any animal, trusting your communion with their world and attain wisdom in acting. (3) - The wishes will lead you again unto the way of knowledge, to study, the pursuit of knowledge of what really interests you. You will then gain a better understanding of others and yourself. As you do you will strive to discover your highest potentiality, your archetype , to evolve, trusting in natural growth like a tree. (2) - The tree has flowers, your capacity to create will grow and flower like the mature tree. If your conception is large enough, if you adapt to the prevailing conditions and take the technological world as your field of actualization, then you and others will be able to relate to your creations. (1) - Finally, knowing that you are not the creator, but only His tool or transmitter, you will let the force of healing flow to you. You will trust in your overall grasp of the whole in absolute confidence that it will never lead you astray. This will lead to a complete opening to the east, the voice of continuous revelation , the spirit of the times. You will attain the Ace of Spades - the symbol of true wisdom. Your journey to full wisdom will be complete. From: http://www.chanceandchoice.com/course-overview/the-human-computer/

I no longer eat as much meat as I used to. I can also see the value of not eating meat at all or being a vegetarian. I'm always struck by the vegetarians who preach non violence, yet in their hearts, murder their fellow man. Gurdieff from MEETINGS WITH REMARKABLE MEN on an expedition through the Himalayas: The first thing next day, with the consent of our consciences, degenerated like those of all contemporary people and corresponding exactly to the requirements of Hell, we killed all the goats, which only the day before we had regarded as our sincere friends and associates in overcoming the difficulties of the journey. After this admirable Christian-Mohammedan manifestation, one of us began to cut their meat into small pieces in order to roast it.

I make my own 'industrial strength' colloidal silver and have used it with success in sinus infections by using it through a neti pot. It always stings like a bitch and makes me do a little dance, but it works for me,,,

Sometimes when I fall out of equanimity, I'll do what's called the 'welcoming practice' on whatever ego manifestation is trying to arise. Just by accepting it fully and 'tasting it till I'm full' can often help it desolve more quickly than trying to process it or brace against it. Not always, but sometimes.

I lack in skillful means. I needed to hear that. Thank you.

Welcome! You'll find we're quite a varied bunch. Good luck with your endeavors!

The three fold energy that was listed at the top drew my attention. I'll stay tuned,,,

A core practice in the Fourth Way work beyond Inquiry is not expressing negative emotion. I used to be a real chronic complainer but it has taken years to get away from the tendency to automatically bitch about something. I heard Arnold Keyserling once say that if a person could go for two years without expressing negative emotion, they would be free from it for life. Implying that a person can get to a point where they actually do not take ANYTHING in a negative way. It's easy when you're in a comfortable safe environment but it's very different when we experience an injustice or violence or threat of violence. I have no doubt it's possible to improve in this over time but reaching a point where one is absolutely solid in this virtue of not taking anything at all in a negative way seems like a tall order. I would say basically approximating Sainthood. Any thoughts on this?

I know it sounded arrogant. But I was sincere. Life goes on in a mechanical way and devolves. Negativity is born out of mechanicality. Negativity doesn't become less over time by itself. It becomes more. It takes more conscious awareness to overcome negativity and that takes a lot of work. Meditation and Inquiry,,,

Excuse me but I strongly intuit you're completely in imagination.

I was on the edge of that territory a few years ago. Combination of reading about Christ Consciousness, while in symptoms of Kundalini Awakening. Also at the time I was getting reaquainted with Cannibis after 12-15 years of not smoking. There were other synchonicities like aspects of my numerology,,,,, feeding my imagination as well. "Is it hot in here? Or am I crazy?" - David Koresh

Doing some binge watching of Leo's videos. Watching this made me realize how I approach things in an intuitive way more than I realized. He stressed the need for quieting down both the body and mind. Purifying our emotional life, in order to be a better tuned receiver. Acting from good will as opposed to fear ,,,, Made many good distinctions that I never have thought of. Need to rewatch sometime. Especially toward the end. I'm writing a few notes and posting the Videos as I watch them in order to help me remember and integrate the knowledge more than I would if I didn't. That's my thinking and intention anyway,,,

That's a good distinction. I can relate!

Way to go man, for putting yourself out there and creating! Attempting something like this would really knock me out of my comfort zone. I applaud your efforts! Thank you.
