Law of One's "service to self" vs "service to others" is the same I think as ACIM's fear/ego vs love/Holy Spirit. Those are then high abstraction level concepts which makes them very powerful when interpreted correctly. And it directly relates to the spiritual idea of beginner's mind (and beginner's heart etc which I call it). The Law of One says (as Aaron Doughty mentioned in the video in my previous post), that we need to become 51 percent service to others in order to move into fourth density. My interpretation of that is that 51% or higher service to others means that we have taken a step from separate ego mind into being slightly more group mind. So, then, if my interpretation is correct, service to others does NOT mean using our ego minds to serve others, which would be a pretty contrived affair, haha. Instead it means the shift into a real collective consciousness of humanity. This, then, also means that in third density we are 100% service to self! And that's in line with how Leo has talked a lot about the ego's survival strategies. Beginner's mind can be used to start reducing the service to self, and increasing the service to others which actually means becoming open to higher consciousness input. In this way we "serve" the evolutionary process of taking the leap in consciousness for humanity as a whole, and also for ourselves! But it's not directly serving our ego (only indirectly), so then the term "service to others" is actually pretty accurate from this perspective.

Curiously, now I found another YouTube presenter called Aaron who also talks about the Law of One (like Aaron Abke). Looks interesting. I will take a look at some of his videos, such as this one:

The Law of One talks about a galactic logos, a solar logos and an earth logos etc. It's interesting that in the ancient astronaut theory "beings from the sky" created us humans. I doubt that those were ordinary extraterrestrials. However, there may have been a galactic deliberate "seeding" of our human civilization here on earth, and that we are still in what the Law of One says is a planetary quarantine of earth. Here is video about the ancient astronaut theory:

I think of the Holy Instant in ACIM as a correction of our perception of reality. When we watch a sunset it looks like the sun i moving down behind the horizon. What actually happens in a sunset is that earth's rotation gives the impression of the sun moving down. An even better comparison is how some centuries ago people believed the sun moved around earth. And even the mainstream scientists in those days had that belief and they constructed ever more complicated epicycle theories in order to try to fit their preconceived notion into observed reality. The Holy Instant IMO shows us that all the past is now and only now. The past is real. The past in unchangeable. The past is indestructible. The past is timeless information in the present moment. So for example your breakfast yesterday you did eat it but you ate it now and only now. So the Holy Instant to me means a subtle yet profound shift in how we experience reality. This is also consistent with nonduality since there all the past is always One with the now.

A beginner's heart requires a radically different approach than the mainstream information. Anna has this great new video about the heart and related out-of-the-box topics.

Another thing with a beginner's mind is that it may be necessary for an evolutionary TRANSFORMATION! Think of the ego mind as a caterpillar mind and the group mind as a butterfly mind. The ego mind needs to be completely transformed, including all its concepts, in order to become a butterfly mind. The group mind is a much higher level of mind so the concepts will be much more advanced and harmonious. It's about a transformation rather than destruction, and it will be integral transcend and include of the ego mind. It still requires a total dissolvement of the ego concepts though. For example the ego might like Coca-Cola and after the transformation the ego will still like Coca-Cola but the concept has then become recontextualized into a vastly bigger and collective context. And not only a beginner's mind. Also a beginner's heart, a beginner's body awareness, a beginner's social interactions, a beginner's choice-making, a beginner's emotions and so on. In practice I will test this by relaxing my own willpower.

I'm looking into how my ego tensions are connected to my mind's concepts. It seems to me that there is a very heavy connection there, that concepts in my mind are not just some small mental patterns but a huge, heavy and deeply interwoven web of tensions in my body and mind. What is a concept? For example thoughts are made of concepts, labels, like maps. Some concepts are less heavy and others are very heavy such as concepts about material and immaterial possessions such as social status and personal relationships. We need concepts in order to be able to think. It's questionable however if the heavier concepts really need to be that heavy. In this video Leo explains what concepts are in more detail:

Now ACIM expert Marianne Williamson's 2020 presidential campaign has very low financial resources. Recently she said: It will still be interesting to follow what will happen with her campaign I think. Theoretically it's possible for her to reach a huge audience on the internet. Mainstream media however is another matter because of how controlled it is by the establishment.

The ACIM concept of innocence that Aaron describes in his latest video sounds similar to what in Zen Buddhism is called beginner's mind. Our egos develop by putting labels on everything, which is useful up to a point but it also puts our minds into a narrow box from which we interpret our experiences. ACIM says that innocence needs to be total. One reason I can see for why ACIM says that innocence must be total is that when the ego smacks its learned labels on experiences it prevents the wholeness perspective of reality. ACIM calls the wholeness perspective vision.

Here is a new ACIM video by Aaron:

Time is easy to explain. Take your neural network to be expanding from an initial state towards infinity. The size of the network will never reach infinity so the future is infinite. The network is a timeless structure yet the manifestation of it produces time. The manifestation of the network will always be finite, so even though the network manifests instantly in the now there is no end to it. Compare it to the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... and look for the largest number. Infinity is not a number so there is no largest number!

Some rational atheists may think of the Holy Spirit as some pixie dust fairy tale entity. In that case, think of the Holy Spirit as the principle of the universe as a wholeness, for example like the universal quantum wave function: So it's possible to think of the Holy Spirit as the realization of wholeness rather than some actual separate entity.

The Holy Spirit in ACIM leads to peace of mind because it deals with for example money in a holistic (holy, whole) way. When my ego handles money it artificially divides reality and says that my money is separate from all other money. That's a false claim by the ego since reality is a wholeness. And what's even worse is that when the ego clings to money and wants more of it without consideration for other people's money it causes a huge conflict which makes money so burdensome for the ego, including tensions in body and mind.

The love of money is the root of all evil. Energy flows where attention goes. And how much attention do we put on money? The answer is: an enormous amount of attention and thereby drain of energy. I will experiment with becoming deliberately confused about money. It's the mind's construction of certainty about money that causes the drain of energy and the ego tensions in body and mind. And our beliefs about money have been programmed into us by society. In this video Leo explains the deeper implications of beliefs:

An extremely radical perspective which I believe could be true is that death is an ego delusion as ACIM says. Then what about the ACIM channeler, didn't she die? Here is where this perspective gets radical: the person who channeled Christ is just information in the now. And only that! Information cannot die. The fundamental information of reality is indestructible. The ego defends death, firmly believes in death, and that predators need to kill and eat prey in order to survive. The Bible says that the lamb and the wolf will dwell together and that the lion will eat straw. So with the radical perspective even nature is an ego! There is nothing natural about nature other than it being third density, second order reality and things made by humans are third order reality. Fourth density nature is the first heaven in the Bible (see Revelation 21). And fourth density means a global collective consciousness, so "brothers/children in heaven" in both the Bible and in ACIM means a collective consciousness in fourth density. The ego has what ACIM calls special relationships, such as loved ones and friends. The collective consciousness is a part of the Holy Relationship. The Bible says the same thing using different terminology: Interestingly, Eckhart Tolle said that "perfect" in that Bible quote also means whole. Holy means whole, so Holy Relationship is then what the Bible means by being perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect.

Thinking of Gaia as a planetary organism is just an abstract concept BUT a very useful one. Because infinite intelligence can "plug in" itself to that abstract concept and work through it and us. How do all the cells in the human body get nourished? The human body (another abstract concept) delivers nutrition and information to the cells in a coordinated and harmonious way. Compare that to the world today. If we think of humanity as a whole "body" then one country being at war with another country is like a person's right hand being at war with his or her liver. Total insanity! For a deeper understanding of abstractions and concepts, Leo has a great explanation of that in this video:

The global ego is built on an illusion of separation. This means that even though the foundation of reality has infinite intelligence, the global ego has to struggle a lot throughout time. And it needs control structures such as laws, calendar time and money to keep itself intact. So for example personal finances are connected to the whole burdensome control structure of the global ego. We can FEEL the truth of this in how burdensome personal financial problems are, and it goes even much deeper than that. Even if you have a billion dollars the burden of dealing with money will still be heavy on your heart. We will still need to use money for many years to come, but with a collective consciousness money and the other control structures of the global ego will become easy to deal with since the global consciousness deals with the whole global ego in a harmonious way.

This video is about fear vs love similar to ACIM and they also talk about self-love that Leo has a recent video about.

Another consequence of the idea of infinite intelligence is that it explains miracles and as ACIM says that they are natural and should be expected. And even the realization that infinite intelligence is a logical conclusion and that it exists everywhere, that should open up its potential! Our clinging to the manifested kind of intelligence actually blocks access to the deeper and fundamental infinite intelligence.

Yes, it must be Leo's explanation I got the idea from. And then I plugged it into my model, and it fits! From a practical perspective the idea can sort of be tested by relaxing ego efforts. Reality is automatically pulled into higher levels of manifested intelligence (the unmanifested is already and always already infinite intelligence). One difference compared to Leo's explanation, or maybe not a difference at all, is that in my model the infinite intelligence is a platonic form that manifests as physical reality automatically. So there is nobody ultimately responsible for creation. Even if we call the infinite intelligence God, it's not like a separate being able to do things.

I probably got the idea of infinite intelligence from Leo. And if the idea is correct it could be really important for how to correctly understanding how the world works. Instead of thinking of intelligence as something that is a result of processes, the correct perspective may be that intelligence is a fundamental property of reality. And the manifested reality, including evolution, is simply a result of that already existing intelligence unfolding. I will take a look at Leo's video about infinite intelligence again.

Almost like a cop out definition it's possible to say that intelligence is the ability to integrate complexity into a wholeness. And first order reality is infinite intelligence. In that sense even a single atom is infinite intelligence. Evolution is a second order phenomenon driven by the first order intelligence. And with this assumption, the move from third density to fourth density is an automatic pull of second order reality by the first order reality intelligence.

The physical age of the body is a second order phenomenon. The actual age of the body is zero seconds! Because there is only the present moment and all the past is included in it. Real change happens on the first order reality level, and the second order reality is a reflection of that. For example, the human brain is a secondary effect, not a primary cause of consciousness or even of thoughts. So going from third density to fourth density is a realization and actualization of how third density is just a second order phenomenon.

I don't recommend this but personally I will do a hardcore test of stepping away from third density healthcare to fourth density activation which will automatically improve my physical body. Totally crazy idea seen from the mainstream perspective. The reason for this radical approach is that to really test the idea I must be willing I believe to do a serious actual shift in my perception. To walk the talk.

One thing that makes me take the Law of One and fourth density seriously is that evolution seems to make leaps into higher levels of complexity. Heck, even the evolution of humans looks like it was an evolutionary leap, and hardly just because of some random mutations. So I will look into the Law of One a bit more in addition to ACIM. And fourth density sounds similar to Bruce Lipton's explanation of fractal evolution. Fourth density is also consistent with the idea of a new earth in the major religions. Here is a fairly recent video about the harvest that I will watch again:
