Zigzag Idiot

He healed some people simply through his presence. Like the mystic Gurdjieff, there are many who dismiss the extraordinary Work of Healer, David Hawkins. In reading Power vs Force, I was hooked. Psychiatrist, Physician, Gifted Healer, Author, and communicator https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/11784.David_R_Hawkins My two favorites,,, re-read many times over

Please pardon me this evening if need be. I have no idea. This fever has left me as unboundried as about any drunk could get. The good thing is, I feel free!

Either way, due respect. It doesn't get anymore real than looking at a corpse. And with that corpse, a story of a life lived and broken hearts left behind.

Folks mean well,,, usually But that's a whole other can of worms,,, ? ❤️?

The News these days,,,, Tailored and custom spun for confusion.,,,,, Transparent manipulation for anyone with common sense to see. Too bad that there is some kind of mid-generational hiccup going on relative to what’s historically been known as ‘common sense.‘ Yes,,, I made the mistake of clicking on one of these “news” links today.,,,, From a “relative” clairvoyant perspective also spiced this evening from a medium fever, infection induced, I might ad in my best Monty Python Affectation ,,, just a mere flesh wound you know,,, well what can I say,,, Psychological T ball methods to re-entrench preprogrammed Neo-Ayn Rand stylized alt-right morons and convincing them of how smart they are in figuring it all out. Yeah,,, you know man,,, them Chinese were halfway behind this whole thing,,,,, you know,,,man Jeez,,,, Cant claim said clairvoyant capacity Is pristine, though. It’s filtered through a dirtied lens in relation to what remains in regard to my emotional purification. But still yet, In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King who at the moment is being played by the Joker. Ahemm,, I need to exit news and politics this evening anyway,,,,for the sake of my unreliable sanity, naiveté, remaining goodwill and innocence.

??‍? ? The World of the Ego by Dr. Jim Rosen ©2020 Dr. Jim Rosen ?? We call it our “identity.” We call it our “personality.” We try to make it into something we consider special, and then we cling to what we have made. As if we can really make ourselves. We fashion these egos of ours, but we do not make the Self. You don’t make your Self and I don’t make mine. Think of the ego as your little self in a little body on a little planet in the middle of a huge ocean of universe. The ego is indeed the little self. It gets its feelings hurt easily. It feels threatened, and then it gets scared and angry and wants to retaliate. It gets in little power struggles. It thinks it needs approval and recognition from other little egos. It’s unsure and insecure, but it tries to act like it knows what it’s doing. And then it wants to blame everyone else for its mistakes. You do not have to rely on that little ego. By its nature, it is unreliable. Do not accept the idea that your ego is you. Do not believe that that is all you are. We are just passing through these bodies, learning and growing from our experiences here on this earth, on our way to our Higher Self. You know what you are really capable of. You know there is a real person inside of you who can love so deeply that the people you love are a part of you. You know that you can see right past their errors and shortcomings, and peer into their hearts. You know the joy this brings to you and to them. You know all this from the moments of really experiencing it. And because you can touch it and experience it for even a moment, you have the proof of who and what you really are.

Another genre of 80's music. Great dancing! Reminds me of how loose half a bottle of Wild Turkey used to make me back in the day. Prince was as talented as much as Jeff Lynne is a harmonic genius.

Same = Same = Same Yogananda - Ra material - Acim Yogananda said the second coming of Christ would be the widespread development/ arrival of Christ Consciousness in humanity. Christ Consciousness The projected consciousness of God immanent in all creation. In Christian scripture, the "only begotten son," the only pure reflection in creation of God the Father; in Hindu scripture, Kutastha Chaitanya or Tat, the universal consciousness, or cosmic intelligence, of Spirit everywhere present in creation. (The terms "Christ Consciousness" and "Christ Intelligence" are synonymous, as also "Cosmic Christ" and "Infinite Christ.") It is the universal consciousness, oneness with God, manifested by Jesus, Krishna, and other avatars. Great saints and yogis know it as the state of samadhi meditation wherein their consciousness has become identified with the divine intelligence in every particle of creation; they feel the entire universe as their own body. -- Read more: http://yogananda.com.au/g/g_christ_consciousness.html#top The Holy Idea which acts as a catalyzer for the transformation of this ego is Holy Love/ Divine Love. This can lead to the Virtue (energy) of Action. According to Ichazo, Divine Love is as he describes “The awareness that though the laws which govern reality are objective, they are not cold, because these cosmic laws inevitably lead to the creation of organic life, and Life itself, like all natural phenomena, fulfills a cosmic purpose. As soon as the mind’s word mechanism is destroyed, love, the natural condition of the mind, appears. Love begins the moment man contemplates the Creation and says, ‘Thank you, God.’ All men feel this somewhat, no animal can feel this at all. Man alone can know that all comes from God.” This odd quote, just above from Ichazo about the when mind's word mechanism being destroyed begins the chapter on Holy Love in my favorite book on the Enneagram. AH Almaas's Facets of Unity. Divine Love is at point nine on the Enneagram. Love is the virtue. Sloth is the passion at point nine. The mind's word mechanism being destroyed sounds like being in a state of inner quiet.

I'm fond of the country music around the early 1980's. Don't really care for a lot of contemporary country music..

You're welcome,,, ? Yeah, I think you could phrase it like that. In a way it's considering what might be beneficial for others with no concern about ones own self image or going down the rabbit hole of worry about what or how others may see oneself.

I've struggled with this myself in different ways. Over time I've come to recognize the significance of what in the Fourth Way is referred to as internal and external consider. I think these concepts can be pondered and worked with and one does not necessarily need to take on understanding the whole of the Fourth Way approach. In these two short videos explanations of inner and external considering at first, one may easily have the experience of ,,, duh,,, no shit. At least, I have had that reaction to these concepts. Over time though, I've come to appreciate the depth and practicality of these notions or phenomena,,,, Added below- When these notions are delivered through a Castaneda perceptual filter; "What distinguishes normal people is that we share a metaphorical dagger; the concerns of our self - reflection. With this dagger, we cut ourselves and bleed; and the job of our chains of self - reflection is to give us the feeling that we are bleeding together, that we are sharing something wonderful; our humanity. But if we were to examine it, we would discover that we are bleeding alone; that we are not sharing anything; that all we are doing is toying with our manageable, unreal, man-made reflection. Sorcerers are no longer in the world of daily affairs, because they are no longer prey to their self - reflection.” Hope what I've shared is beneficial. It's very difficult for some of us to abandon unnecessary self criticism. Good luck!

@modmyth I don't think I ever bought one of their albums. It's just that a lot of their songs were always being played on the radio. Like Duran Duran,,, I don't miss being that age either but sometimes in brief intervals, there are powerful waves of nostalgia that wash over me.

They had a bunch of good songs back in the day,,, I was about 16-17 at the time having a short lived romance with the High school Principals daughter. I think she caught me snorting dope and decided to let me go.

“Unless we know the basic mechanics behind the workings of the ego, we won’t recognize it, and it will trick us into identifying with it again and again. The act of recognizing the ego is one of the ways awakening happens. Arising consciousness makes this recognition possible.” — Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth I just got this quote from Eckhart Tolle off of an Enneagram website. It really contradicts what ACIM says, of which Tolle is an advanced student I would say. My point being that it's a beneficial attribute in being able to sit with contradictory statements and being ok with it. Maybe even making statements where you contradict yourself as an exercise in non identifying. Lately it has struck me again that Eckhart Tolle experience of nearly loosing his marbles and having his spiritual breakthrough happened around the time of his Saturn return 29 1/2 years. Which is the same for everyone. A lot of people experience a major shift in their life around that time.

My dislike of other people The idea occurred to me today that I need to examine in what way I'm like Elliot Hulse. I've criticized and made fun of him repeatedly over the last year or so. I've learned of this phenomena a few tears ago where whoever we have a strong dislike for is someone who we share a personality trait with that we're not owning,,, in a sense. To me, he seems like a kind of human puffer fish. I've had a bit of that in the past but not too bad. It may be the trait of overcompensating in ways. I've definitely got that. That's probably it or maybe it's just one of the things about him that I also have which causes me to dislike him. In the past, I had a very strong dislike for Dan Quail. After I read his biography, I actually grew to appreciate him in ways. I even had an appreciation for Richard Nixon after I read a couple of his books. I need to read one of Dan Rathers books. I've always had a strong dislike for him. Also that guy called the Rock, whatever his name is. Something about him that I really dislike. I've always thought he was stupid but he's probably smarter than I am. Anyway, these people that I have a strong natural dislike for,,, There's often some personality trait or something that we have in common. Strongly disliking anyone is a waste of energy anyway. I tend to forget that but slowly I'm getting a little better. Getting older in a itself, helps. Everyone tends to mellow somewhat, the older they get I've noticed.

@modmyth I appreciate your articulation of reasoning and also the fun facts musical trivia. Good morning everyone, I'm going to shamelessly repost a couple of Stevie Wonder songs that I've already posted on this thread just because I find them uplifting and enjoyable. Don't some of you ever get hooked on a certain song or album for a period of time.,,,,?

R Two great videos currently being shared. I like how Akilesh aka @winterknight points out how psychotherapy can assist our spiritual growth. In the lower video, this guy accurately expounds on the brilliance of Eckhart Tolle's coining of the term 'painbody'. A synchronicity occurs in my inner world in once hearing Ken Wilber describing that psychological and spiritual growth share one particular line of development. -"The capacity for disinterested awareness."- As an ex-Scientologist, I recall the process of auditing out, of what they called engrams, which are psychological traumas stored scattered around in the tissue of the body. A few years after leaving Scientology, in reading the works of Arnold Keyserling and Ralph Losey, I encountered their description of what they referred to as endogen engrams. The term endogen was never used in Scientology and in a hastily performed google search I only encountered the phrase endogen engram in the works of Keyserling/Losey. All of this ties together synchronisticly in my inner experience. The gist of it would be my suggestion that for anyone engaged in psychological growth and processing as a part of their spiritual growth, the greatest asset they may run across would be an ex-Scientologist who was trained as an 'Auditor' who still has their 'e-meter' device, which is basically a lie detector, and would be willing to audit the the spiritual seeker for a number of sessions. In short, I believe these trained auditors have the capacity to completely out perform the majority of any psychoanalyst that anyone would randomly encounter. It would be foolish of me to suggest this as an absolute because there exists both delusional ex-Scientologists as well as intuitively genius and gifted traditional Psychotherapists. I was never trained as an Auditor in Scientology nor do I own an e-meter but I am aware that many have left the cult of Scientology and have not abandoned this process of doing auditing among other ex-Scientologists. These people are pretty rare though. In an imaginative conjecture, I picture the future of psychotherapy at some point adopting these specific methods born out of Dianetics and Scientology and this will greatly speed up the process of shadow work and awakening of the global population. Concisely stated in an imaginative conjecture that would probably be considered heresy among the conventional-minded would be- Endogen engrams are the building blocks of the painbody and also the motorfuel for unguided Golums.

Eliott Hulse angrily denounces those who are angry and delusionally denounces the delusional. He also emotionally denounces those who are emotional. He states some things accurately but in the most annoying way possible.

I thought this song could also be renamed the anthem of neo-alchemists or actualizers. IF anyone see's the humor and wants to offer an alternative Title, please do.. At least I hope two or three people pee on themselves just a little.

Recollecting movies I've seen, Paint your wagon came to mind. I didn't want to junk up @Dragos thread so I decided to just put it here. It's unique in that it's a musical featuring Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood. In this opening seen Lee Marvin delivers a colorful eulogy burying a stranger killed in a wagon wreck when he says -" Oh God, we pass on to you, the body and soul, of this nameless peckerhead." This movie was made back in the late sixties. Chances are if you hate musicals, you'll like it, but if you love musicals, you probably hate it.

This guys very short videos deliver the lessons in a very efficient manner. I've posted a good number of them on the Gurdjieff thread in High Consciousness Resources.They're a treasure in regard to esoteric knowledge. They're esoteric in sense, not because it's hidden knowledge but because it's something everyone seems to look past, not realizing the significance of what's being said. He messes up slightly in the first one above on negative emotions. The correct expression refers to putting a stick in the spokes of the wheel which turns automatically. Good video anyhow,,, Time for some shut eye. Good night,,,

Just above here, I meant that self deception lies between spiritual sleep and our creative capacity. I had forgotten about this. I love this story.that McKenna tells about Rene Descartes. Modern Science was founded by an Angel!

Imaginal realm = Causal realm = Realm of the atom There are so many seemingly contradictory notions in the Work because of words having in actuality more than one usage. Personality being one that I've recently commented on. Imagination is another,,, On one hand, it's at the heart of spiritual sleep, but on the other hand it's at the heart of our creative capacities. A few contemporary mystics actually use the term Imaginal realm in place of Causal realm. The huge spanning category of self deception lies between the two. Self deception is first cousins with vested interests, it seems. Carol Anthony, in The Oracle of the Cosmic Way refers to this Imaginal or Causal realm as being the realm of the atom.

I've met several Zen Masters. Most of them we're cats. I remember Alan Watts quoting someone who said that but I forget who it was. My cat has been acting extra crazy here recently. Something is definitely going on. I wouldn't rule out there being a possession of some kind,,,, She was showing out in front of company a couple of evenings ago. Like a little kid might do.
