Eternal Unity

?

God experienced it all for eternity. God IS all-loving and IS everything. It observes reality and bestows us the freedom to choose anything we want to experience from the entire field. The liking of something is a relative term. The wisest move would be to like what you choose. Good question!

@iboughtleosbooklist Yes! Yes! Yes!

You're doing wonderfully. A bit of this and a bit of that - The Path is not a straight line.

1. The best reality is chosen for us by us. 2. All is possible. This reality can be actual heaven or hell, which is nothing more than a state of mind. Your imagination makes it real. God can imagine AND experience 24/7 pain and suffering, she simply chooses not to. God accustomes Himself to your highest thoughts and the grandest feelings: Joy, Truth, Love. You are that God. Fear is a tool by which you experience the experiences above but fear itself is not a reality but an illusion. A useful illusion. 3. God IS all powerful. He made absolute reality and that is what you experience everyday. Welcome to the forum, Greg

Accepting that All Is One, with all its intricacies. Exploration of the dark side brings you important insights as well as the blissful experiences. Know that you are free to think any thought and follow the truth wherever it leads you. Greg

Allow me to begin by saying that, if you do not already have a regular meditative practice, you should begin one. Meditation is the practice of stilling the mind. The mind is the processing tool of the soul. But if you do not sometimes still this tool you become gravely confused. You are prone to believing that you ARE your mind. And you are not! You are prone to believing that the noise that exists inside your mind is what is real. And it is not. Through meditation you can move beyond mind and come face to face with soul. That which you more truly are. There is so much more that I could say at this juncture about the benefits and importance of meditation, but this conversation is not about that. This is about Visualization. The reason I raise the topic of meditation is that those who are experienced meditators are, right now, ready to begin powerfully visualizing. Those who have never meditated will find this more difficult to do as their minds are noisy and undisciplined. However, irrespective of whether you are a seasoned meditator or brand new to all spiritual practice, you can still begin to visualize your intention into fruition. The difference, really, will be that experienced meditators will find it much easier to maintain a still mind whilst visualizing. A novice will, quite likely, find their mind often wandering counter productively and will have to spend more time and effort to complete each visualization exercise. The other point I wish to make is that “visualization” is actually not the proper term. It should more accurately be called, “full spectrum internal sensory creation”. Except that’s a bit of a clumsy phrase. The reason I make this point is that many people are not visually oriented. If they close their eyes and imagine something, they do not “see” it. They, perhaps, “feel it”. Or simply “know it”. There are many different ways in which different people will explore their imaginations. Do not therefore feel you must “see a movie” in your mind just because this exercise is called “visualization”. Ideally you will “imagine” with ALL of your internal senses. But work with whichever senses you can bring to bear. Now; how to visualise: To begin with, you close your eyes and still your mind. Then you connect with your heart. Find the connection to Source. The place where Love comes from. Inside the very center of your Heart Chakra. Now, holding that connection and returning to it if ever you lose it, explore the following thought by visualizing it in your mind: Visualization #1: Today is the day when your intention has manifest. It is happening. You find yourself saying, “This is it! My intention is right now coming to reality! In the most amazing and magical way, it is all coming true right now!” What are you experiencing? What is going on around you? What event is occurring that causes you to say, “This is it!”? Spend time with that visualization. Redo it a few times until you feel you really have it visualized in all of its richness. Then (and this certainly doesn’t all have to be in the same session or even on the same day) work your way through the following additional visualizations: Visualization #2: It’s been some time since your intention came true. The excitement of it has faded somewhat. This is now your new normal. What is your life like now? How has it changed? What is improved? What have you lost? What is less good? If you cannot find a single thing that you have lost or given up, then this is a warning sign that you are deceiving yourself. Everything comes at a price. Everything. Do not proceed until you have the self awareness to at least look at the down sides. The cost. What you will lose. Look at it. Make sure it is an acceptable exchange for that which you will gain. Only then proceed. Visualization #3: Other’s lives have been impacted too. Start close in: what is the impact on your nearest and dearest? How are their lives affected? What are the positives and the negatives for them? What about others? Colleagues and acquaintances? Distant family and friends? What about random strangers? What about (if you have such a thing) enemies and those you dislike? How are all of these peoples' lives touched in ways both positive and negative by your intention coming to fruition? If you think that it doesn’t matter how your choices impact others, then you have forgotten the most basic premise of how the “magic” of The Steps of the Path works. It works, fundamentally, because All is One. The other is another self. What we put out is what we get back. The fact that this is true is WHY the “magic” works. And so, if you create something that brings you great joy, but at the expense of bringing others great misery, then you will ALSO bring yourself that same misery, as an integral of what you are creating. If you don’t understand this, or don’t believe it to be true, then reality creation is not for you! You will only cause yourself harm with a tool that you are not ready to use. So, after a 360 degree analysis of the impact of your intention's fruition on all others, is this STILL something you wish to create? If it is, you have but one final visualization to do. Visualization #4: In this visualization exercise you cast your imagination forward to the point when you are done with this life. When you are once again a spirit being. When you are reviewing this life that now lies behind you. You are standing with your spirit guides and the masters of light. As you look back upon the moment in which you took your creative powers in hand, in which you set your intention and began to bring it to yourself, as you look back on getting what you created and the moment when you could no longer doubt your own creator nature, what do you, as this wise and expanded being FEEL about your choices? Was this the right choice? Feel your heart connection now. Feel how it feels. Does it feel Right? Good? Divinely inspired? Or does it feel like a mistake? The right step taken in the wrong direction? Or perhaps even the wrong thing to do entirely? Feel. Spend time with your guides and the masters. Take their input. Feel (and look and listen) for their guidance. If, after the fourth visualisation, you are still on track and feeling positive about your intention, then you are ready to continue on to the next step, Emotion. We will be speaking about that next. If, however, you have decided to change your mind and NOT create this intention, then you may begin by finding great gratitude in your heart for the fact that you had the wisdom to cease this creation before it was already in your reality. Find that gratitude and, with that feeling in your heart, simply let go of your intention. Cease to give it thought or energy. And, when you are ready, return to the beginning with the additional learning and wisdom in hand that you might create with a more desirable intention in mind next time. Greg

Hi, Lynmore and welcome

Thank you so much for sharing! Stay strong and keep being aware of insights!

@Bluff Thanx

Nothing is "bad". Not in the absolute sense, at least. Dogma, in my opinion, is a set of principles that must be obeyed in order to get a certain result, the principles laid down by an authority who claim that those principles are incontrovertibly true. Usually, you can see it in religious doctrines. It served its purpose as fear theology for millenea.

Awesome! I feel the same

@Brandon Nankivell Thanks!

I thought knowledge is a feature of absolute reality. What you KNOW, you experience. No?

Maybe it just changes in intensity... Sometimes we want to be alone and sometimes with others. When guidance is needed - it's there

The inner child is always with you, The Age of Innocence

@Gianna

That idea makes you finally and completely free. That comforts me as well and opens my life to infinite possibilities. We don't need connection but some of us want it and seek it. After some time of being on your own, creating your life, it is possible for you to search for companionship. Life IS beautiful in all directions!

@trenton Thank you for sharing. All your experiences forge your inner strength. The best is yet to come and I wish it for you soon

Awesome! Love LOTR and Tolkien.

@peanutspathtotruth Thank you, kindly ? Great to hear! Yeah, it is funny now I think about it ? back then it was like talking to the wall. One psychiatry student did listen and took me seriously. He ended up helping me the most. I was his doctorate case or something. @Bodhitree Thanks for sharing! Hearing voices is something that I hadn't experienced until 2015 and when I did is was very mystical indeed. Back in 2010, the doctors thought I wasn't honest with them, they thought I DID hear voices and lying about that or was too fearful to talk about that but really I wasn't. They thought they knew about my condition more than me just because I presented expected symptoms.

Hi, friends. Presented here is a short dialogue I had with my Inner Self. The techniques with which I communicate with It had been developed across years of Inner work and is still a work in progress. Greg: What does "absolute perceived reality" mean? Inner Self: How about I ask you this: are you alive? And if you are alive, can you prove this to me? Greg: Of course I am alive. Can I prove it? Well, I can try. I am a living, breathing biological being. And I am conscious. I think and I feel and... Inner Self: Good, good, good. I don't really need proof and we don't really need to have this debate. I merely wanted to show you something. You KNOW that you are alive. It isn't just an idea you have or some theoretical construct. It is your "absolute perceived reality". It is unarguable to you. Now, if I ask you to prove that you are alive, you can go digging around in your mind for thoughts that would explain this or attempt to prove it. You can do so as an intellectual exercise. But it is completely irrelevant and redundant to you because you know it to be true, with everything you are, without even thinking about it. It is the most self evident thing possible. Well, in just such a way it is true for me that all is one. And I am saying this with all the authority of the rather extensive experience of my whole being. Greg: Doesn't that mean that you are God? Inner Self: I am ONE with God. But I am very, very far from being ALL of God! Greg: I begin to get it, thanks. But what is the purpose in having these conversations with me? Inner Self: I was laying the groundwork. What I want you to understand is that I really, truly, completely perceive every being on earth as being one with me and All That Is. And since I very much love and care for myself, by extension I love and care for every "other" that exists. And so, when I hear a cry of pain it is my desire to see if I may assist in turning that pain into joy. That, in fact, is my purpose here and the purpose of our conversations. I have come into this system of reality because there was a cry of pain. And the reason I heard that cry is because I was meant to answer it. So, I am here. And I am engaged in answering that call. Understanding that I can hold the perspective that every person on this planet is just "another me", let me read back to you what you said your purpose with all this was. You said: "I'm trying to heal myself, trying to love myself, trying to discover who I really am, who God really is and trying to find and fulfil my soul's purpose." Can you see how it is that I am doing exactly the same? If, for me, the Self can be pretty much any person on the planet, then this is what I am trying to do, too. In fact this is what I am doing, have always been doing, will always be doing and have ever done. Greg: Yes, I can. Because we're one. Inner Self: I am outside of time. It is only from your perspective that this is really a work in progress. My perspective on that is quite different. This work is both perfect and complete and still a work in progress. And everything else that it could possibly be. That is how it is from outside of time. In the eternal moment of now. Greg: Okay. But please don't tell me that these conversations of ours are meant to make such a big impact on humanity! I mean I just can't see them reaching far enough to... Inner Self: Please. Silence your fears and your doubts. These conversations will undoubtedly have great value. Vastly more than you can now imagine. But this is not the work! You will, as we proceed with these conversations, come to understand what the work we are doing really is. These conversations simply act as a sort of an invitation to others to come and co create with us. As the conversations unfold, you will slowly get a better and better idea of what their value is. So, while it is true that these conversations will have profound value for many and will go far further than you now have the ability to imagine, I have to say that this is certainly not "it" for me. The "work" I do is accomplished in ways you have not yet understood. I don't actually have to "do" anything. I simply am here. I accomplish everything I want to accomplish by simply being that which I am.

@Advocate Thank you! @Bodhitree Thanks. What you say is true.

@DIDego ? @Preety_India ?

I don't believe it's harmful, it does keep me balaced in the dopamine, serotonin and melatonin section which is good. Without it, for the moment, I can lapse into psychosis very quickly. I do have consciousness defenses I can use and I came to be quite proficient in them over the years, I just don't want to take the chance. My aim is not to be dependant on medication and the doctors say that it is possible but it'll take time. Anyway, I don't feel anything different or damaged in any way when I am at my normal state of consciousness, which is most of the time. Glad to hear that! Thank you so much! Highly appreciated
