In this new video Shunyamurti said that we are the uncreated infinite self. That must be the same as I call the unmanifested. The unmanifested is uncreated. Existing without having been created, such as a platonic form which just timelessly is. Shunyamurti said that what's necessary is simply a shift of paradigm in which the nondual truth is realized regardless of the state of the ego, or the state of the organism or the state of the world. All of that is irrelevant. It's simple, yet a very difficult truth for those in ego consciousness to grok (grasp fully), he said.

I have reminded myself of this from A Course in Miracles: And I also found: This is similar to or even the same as the growing block universe theory (also called growing block view) proposed by C. D. Broad who had developed the theory already in 1923. In my model the manifestation of the "block" is information that grows at an accelerating pace, yet the block itself is already complete, infinite and changeless. That's similar to the graph model used in the Wolfram Physics Project (the graph branches out like a tree). I wanted to repeat this information to experiment with if it's possible to achieve an actual experienced perspective of the "scripted" growing block universe. And especially to examine if such perspective can lead to inner peace and clarity. Here is a short video where the basics of the block universe are explained:

Wow, David Hoffmeister, from about 20 minutes he talks about pro life vs abortion. Sadhguru had a great answer about that tricky subject, but in this video David nukes the whole question! Because the body isn't an object! We tend to make everything into objects in our own mind (sometimes called reification). That's a false perspective! Because everything is an interconnected whole no-thing.

I have a really esoteric speculation about one of the purposes of the COVID-19 plan-demic. People no longer shake hands! And that's all over the world. All business meetings, all political interactions, meeting friends and relatives and so on, no shaking hands! On an exoteric level the reason is of course to avoid spreading the coronavirus. My speculation is that the esoteric purpose is primarily to detach Wanderers from regular people. When shaking hands there is a large energy transfer taking place between people. When Wanderers shake hands with us regular people it's like how adults hold toddlers' arms when learning how to walk.

One constructive way of thinking about planning is that it's a learning tool. It's a way for us to learn how reality works by making our own plans, just like learning how to walk. Once learned we don't need to think about how to walk, we just do it and our subconscious takes care of all the details without us having to be bothered with them. Similarly, then, planning is useful for leaning how to act in society. The problem is that when we are trapped in ego consciousness, we continue to plan and plan and plan. All the time! Even the slightest thought is often about planning something about how to act in the future. This habit of continued planning even after we have learned to plan is that it drains our energy for direct actions. The more we think about how to act in the future, the less ability we have for real actions in the moment. And, as I propose, if the future is already determined, then making plans is actually an unnecessary activity other than as a learning tool. And another problem with making personal plans as I pointed out earlier is that conflicts with other people's plans and society at large is essentially guaranteed. Not good. To continue making plans as adults is like a child keep crawling on the floor and learning how to walk. Even when the child has learned how to walk, in such scenario the child keeps crawling on the floor. To make plans is like keep crawling on the floor. And as reality clashes with our plans the ego keeps on planning even more and even harder. That's stupid.
-
Even my practice to not plan, that's a plan! So it's necessary to see the trickery of the mind which has the habit of planning all the time. And the plan not to plan can be seen as the metaphor about using a thorn to remove another thorn, and then both thorns are thrown away.
-
If I make my own plans then that blocks the Holy Spirit. Not only that, the chances of my own plans being in conflict with other people's plans and with the world is basically 100%, all the time! Haha. So it would be stupid of me to make my own plans if I don't need to and also because it would just keep the conflicts going. In order for my mind to be healed I have to abandon all my planning. It's still useful to have ideas about the future but I need to avoid trying to control the future. Or else my conflicts with continue. The "normal" behavior in today's society is still for everybody to make their own personal plans, and collective plans such as in politics and in business. That's unhealed minds according to ACIM, and indeed just take a look at the news headlines, endless conflicts between feverish and neurotic minds banging their heads against each other, again and again. And it's called normal! Insanity.
-
The strategy of not planning is absolutely amazing. I wonder if it's really possible to do. Many spiritual teachers say the opposite of what ACIM says. They claim that we need to use our thinking for practical things, such as planning a trip and booking a flight etc. Is it true that we need to think? No! At least not the practical kind of thinking, for what need is there to think when there is no planning? Let's say that we want a cup of tea and think about making a cup of tea. That's a plan! A tiny and very short-term plan, but nonetheless it's a plan. So, if ACIM is correct about how a healed mind doesn't plan, then there isn't even any need to use thinking for making a cup of tea. It will happen or not anyway, without the need for thinking.
-
ACIM expert Kenneth Clifford used a good metaphor where he said that the future is like gifts that we cannot know what they are yet and that we need to unwrap them. Instead of planning, the correct strategy then is to unwrap the future as if it contains gifts that we can't know yet what they are. He also said that the ego tries to be good while being bad. Freedom from the ego is coming from good without the bad. That's a good point. Trying to be good, that is based on the idea that one is bad to begin with, haha, or capable of doing bad.

Alternative researcher Nassim Haramein says that physical matter is made of space. And in mainstream science space is vacuum energy. And now in the Wolfram Physics Project they also say that physical matter is made of space! That made me think of third density in the Law of One as space being able to take a limited number of forms such as atoms and plasma. Then in fourth and higher densities space is able to take more advanced forms. So the difference between a third density human body and a fourth density body is that space can shapeshift the body into more advanced ways in fourth and higher densities. In third density, change of the body is limited to the shuffling around of atoms. In fourth density my guess is that space can materialize and dematerialize atoms and maybe even create more advanced forms of matter. And in fifth and higher densities space has even more capacity to materialize physical matter.
-
I forgot, I have also added a condition to my practice. Instead of thinking that my own life will lead to the death of my physical body, I have the intent that with the Holy Spirit I will enter fourth density in the Law of One. That may be a total delusion, but it helps me with the practice. If I had the belief that the Holy Spirit will kill my body, then that means conflict to me. And this is a part of what ACIM says about death: And there isn't any separate physical body in the first place! So how could my body die and get buried? Absurd.

I feel suffering instead of feeling the Holy Spirit. Jesus ran around filled with the Holy Spirit. We too should be running around with the Holy Spirit. What is the Holy Spirit? A Course in Miracles defines it as: My own definition is that the Holy Spirit is the increase of complexity that is going on all the time in the present moment. I mentioned previously about the Holy Spirit being the same as dharma. Now I found another candidate: the Holy Spirit is the same as shakti! How can we connect with the Holy Spirit? We are already connected! The Holy Spirit is the whole force of the manifestation of the Word of God, which creates everything. It's "just" the ego that seemingly blocks the access. What I have been able to practice is to observe my own ego. My intent at the moment is to continue to observe my ego and see if the Holy Spirit can start flowing within me. (Actually the ego too is the result of the Holy Spirit in nonduality but the ego is a false belief system.)
-
There is no need to make plans. Because the future is more complex than the present moment. So any and all planning therefore leads to struggling against God's plan in a delusional belief of being able to change God's plan. Then why does the ego need to make plans, or at least believe it needs to make plans? Because planning is like training wheels for the ego until it recognizes that: "WTF, my planning is redundant! No wonder why I have struggled so much." To make an accurate plan requires knowledge about the future which the ego lacks! And even if the ego would be able to make an accurate plan it would be totally unnecessary since it would just match God's plan anyway. Haha, the insolence of the ego is astounding.

What does A Course in Miracles say about vaccines and social distancing? Amen!

A Course in Miracles seldom uses the term consciousness, but it does use the word mind a lot. ACIM expert David Hoffmeister said that Jesus is getting tougher and tougher in His teachings. And ultimately Jesus says that we are not body, mind and spirit. We are mind, Jesus says. Nonduality teacher Roger Castillo has also mentioned that ACIM gets more advanced in later lessons. That's accurate! To say body, mind and spirit, that's duality. And my definition of mind includes everything we experience in consciousness, so with that definition the body is a part of the mind, just as ACIM says. The only difference then is that I make a distinction between consciousness as the state of being aware and mind as the content experienced in consciousness. ACIM seems to include consciousness in the concept of mind, which is a more nondual description than I use (or at least have used).

ACIM says that being defenseless is true protection. That's because defense is a lie. So when we are defensive the Holy Spirit cannot enter us. Defensiveness is a sign of conflict, nay IS conflict. For oneness needs no defense. For oneness to defend itself is madness. It's even worse than that. Being ANYTHING other than oneness prevents the Holy Spirit to secure our safety. Why? Because the whole ego is a lie. The ego is the belief in separation which is a lie. The Holy Spirit is already within us. It's just that the ego blocks itself! From A Course in Miracles:
-
There is ONLY God's will and the Holy Spirit is the motion caused by God's will and Christ is the manifestation caused by God's will. What this means is that we are ALREADY the Holy Spirit, even in ego consciousness. It's just that the ego is a layer of seeming separation hiding the power of the Holy Spirit. So when the Holy Spirit acts through us, it's the same as in ego consciousness except without the ego misperception. A useful practice is then to act from direct genuine feelings. The ego is always clunky, slow and awkward since it has to first formulate some kind of manipulation strategy and secure its protection schemes before it acts.
-
A very subtle form of lies, that Leo probably already has talked about in his video, is when we don't want to show to others what we really think or feel. How can that be a form of lies? The answer is that it's a blocking of our true intentions and state of being, and that blocking has the purpose of presenting ourselves outwardly differently than we are inside, so that's a form of lie. The Holy Spirit cannot work with that kind of conflicts. And now I actually found a confirmation of this in ACIM:
-
I haven't checked if this is mentioned in ACIM but a huge obstacle to receiving the Holy Spirit is all the lies we tell in ego consciousness, even our private thoughts have strategies of manipulation in them which is a subtle form of lies. It's possible to add lies as a layer on top of truth, but it's impossible to add a layer of truth on top of a foundation of lies. So the key to receiving the Holy Spirit is that our subconscious becomes a foundation of truth. Lies can always be added later on top of that, but we need to start with truth as a foundation. To the ego that's scary! Because one big protection strategy for the ego is the use of lies. Here is Leo's video about how we lie where he explains in detail all the trickeries of the ego mind:

Notice that Ra said that the Wanderers can be called the Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow. That sounds gloomy, almost scary. My take is that the Wanderers have an extremely heavy burden of being trapped in third density while in actually being of higher density. That must be a pretty dreary situation. The role of the Wanderers is to serve to support those of us in ego consciousness while themselves remaining trapped in third density. It's like a gigantic Truman show but with a constructive evolutionary purpose, where we in ordinary ego consciousness represent the Truman character.

Woo woo time! But I think this could actually be true. I found the number a quarter of earth in the Book of Revelation curious. And I can only do a speculative guess about it. So 1/4 of humanity on earth will be harvested into fourth density. Why only 25%? My guess is that 50% of people are Wanderers and 25% of the people on earth are the breakaway civilization, which leaves only 25% in ordinary ego consciousness. Ra gives a much lower number than that for Wanderers in the Law of One. But Ra also uses the Law of Confusion and Ra said that the number of Wanderers approaches 65 million. And as I wrote earlier, with Law of Confusion language that can mean 25% of humanity and still be the truth! Approaches can mean approaching from a lower number or from a higher number. Tricky. Wanderers are at least fourth density and most of them even sixth density. So Wanderers don't need to be harvested and instead can directly enter their higher density state. And the people in the breakaway civilization are either themselves Wanderers or already in fourth density is my guess.
-
One idea I have is that ego tensions are a result of third density in the Law of One. In third density, because of too low density/information a lot of reality appears as disorder (entropy). And in fourth density reality becomes more complex forms of order (more information density) which reveals that what was believed to be entropy is actually order. When the ego experiences the world as disorder it has to struggle against reality in order to maintain order. And it's a mistaken form of order because reality as a whole is already perfectly ordered, and so the ego literally has to hold the order as tensions in body and mind. The harvest from third to fourth density is then about dissolving what Wilhelm Reich called the body armor which I believe is made of deadly orgone (DOR) and turn it into neutral orgone (OR). The color green represents the heart chakra and fourth density (green ray activation). In the Book of Revelation one of the four horses of the apocalypse (means unveiling) is green: The Book of Revelation is I believe highly metaphorical and symbolic and that "death" here means ego death and the end of third density.

I made this hip hop remix! Well, maybe not "real" hip hop. I find it tricky to distinguish between all the different music genres.

David Hoffmeister pointed out in one of his videos that the material world cannot do anything. Very good point! Trying to change what appears to be the external world is like trying to change what is happening in a movie. So the actual change comes through Source. But then one problem I have is what if my destiny is to grow old, get sick and then die? That's a horrible situation! Some people may genuinely be able to accept physical death but I would be fooling myself if I attempted such acceptance. It would just cause an inner double conflict in me. One solution is to expect physical reality to change so radically that we enter into fourth density. Shunyamurti talked about changing the physical world by dropping our ego consciousness, yet it has to be done collectively he said, so that the whole environment reflects the change in consciousness. Then what if that's just a fantasy and physical death is inevitable? That's easy to solve! In theory. The ego constantly tries to move away from uncertainty and confusion as much as possible, yet as ACIM says, the ego is already totally confused about everything. So the ego is trying to run away from its own delusional beliefs which causes the situation to become even more confused and conflict-riddent. And to avoid falling into another delusional trap a possible practice is to focus on one's own confusion. That seemingly counter-intuitive practice is the correct perspective while still being in ego consciousness. Confusion is then used as a tool for dissolving the ego and the tensions in body and mind that go along with it.
