The Music to THRIVE...

In a vibrational universe, alignment is key. The body is a projection and reflection of mind. When the mind is in alignment and finely-tuned, the body will naturally be drawn to that which is in harmony with that alignment. Yoga is the bodies dancing partner to the song of alignment. The THRIVE Trans-Dermal Nutrition system is the music for the dance.

The Search for Truth is Born of Ignorance...

"Is God to be found by seeking him out? Can you search after the unknowable? To find, you must know what you are seeking. If you seek to find, what you find will be a self-projection; it will be what you desire, and the creation of desire is not truth. To seek truth is to deny it.Truth has no fixed abode; there is no path, no guide to it, and the word is not truth. Is truth to be found in a particular setting, in a special climate, among certain people? Is it here and not there? Is that one the guide to truth and not another? Is there a guide at all? When truth is sought, what is found can only come out of ignorance, for the search itself is born of ignorance. You cannot search out reality: you must cease for reality to be." - Krishnamurti, Commentaries on Living, Series I

Barabbas or Jesus...The Trial of Your Mind

Here we will share with you a mystical version of the trial of Jesus. This trial takes place in the mind, not in the pages of history. Pontious Pilate is the personification of Logic and Reasoning. He asks Jesus, who is the personification of Truth, "What is the Truth?"  Jesus does not answer because he knows that there is no way for Logic and Reasoning to understand the Truth. Pilate gives up and turns him over to the crowd who clamour to release Barabbas, the robber, and crucify Jesus. Barabbas is the personification of that which denies, or robs, you of your desires... and he has been turned loose on the crowd ever since. Jesus is also synonomous with the Imagination and it is your Imagination that creates your salvation.

Here it is in this transcribed lecture of Neville Goddard. You can also read our last year's Good Friday post with this link http://lifestyleluminaries.blogspot.com/2014/04/good-friday-easter.html

BARABBAS OR JESUS

Tonight's subject is "Barabbas or Jesus." This is the greatest trial that ever took place in eternity. You have read of trials in countries where billions are involved. It means nothing compared to this trial. This is the greatest of all trials. When we read the scriptures we find things like the raising of Lazarus, which is the most fantastic thing you can imagine. A man who was dead for four days and his sister said: "By this time there is an odor" and he raises Lazarus, and yet only one Evangelist records it - only John tells the story. Matthew, Mark, and Luke do not mention the story of Lazarus. How could you tell the story of a man in this world who could raise someone who had decayed and bring him back to life, as we understand life, and not tell it as part of his biography? I could take you through the many stories and show you that one story is told by two, and sometimes three, and only by one, but here, in this story of the trial, all mention it. It has tremendous significance. The story of the greatest trial that ever took place in eternity.

May I tell you: it is taking place here tonight and you are the witnesses. You are the ones who will

Movie Pics... Kumare

Sometimes, people pay us a sincere compliment (which is nice) and we always respond by pointing out that fact that whatever it is that they see in us, is only possible because it is alive and awake in them.

  It is only possible to see the contents of your own consciousness. 

Good, bad or indifferent, what you are witnessing is alive in you. We, at that moment, just happen to be good mirrors for them. We are able to reflect this for them because our mirror is less distorted than most and we spend a lot of time cleaning it which is a benefit to us all.

This brings us to one of our new favorite movies, Kumare. A beautiful experiment in transformation and revealing the power within.  Kumare is about a young man's attempt to expose the phoniness that he sees in the Guru business by play-acting one himself. It starts out as a sort-of spoof and it turns into a trans-formative journey for the new Guru and the followers who joined him. On the surface, it seems to poke fun at the 'gullible-ness' of humanity but the truth is that it exposes a crucial fact that all Gurus, real and phony alike, play a role as a catalyst to awaken what is stirring inside of them. That is why we love the acronym, G.U.R.U... Gee, You Are You.

To us, the movie is proof-positive that all people are projecting their own life-movie on their own screen of space. People are sincerely seeing wonderous things in Kumare, which the movie-viewer might be inclined to laugh at as an inside joke. But, again, they are REALLY seeing it... and since the movie viewer knows its not actually from Kumare... It has to be in the student. This is a real revelation and will not spoil any of the drama in the film for you, but we think some people might miss its importance as the final scene plays out!
BTW... we saw it on Netflix

Become Love...

To know something intellectually, man uses his mind to break it down into its parts, observe its
relationships and behaviors, collect information, analyse and relate the data to all previous collected data. This activity is VERY limited because thought is all built upon the past and, typically, in response to the 5 senses. Thought cannot come upon anything that is new... just different and usually more complex arrangements of what already exists.

To know something spiritually, Man must BECOME it. 

Thought can never Know Love... it can only think about it.

 So, to know love we must become it, which is the greatest of mankind's endeavors.

Ah yes... and then there is Valentines Day. In contrast to Man's pinnacle of knowledge (knowing Love), Valentines Day seems a bit childish and silly. But we learn we can love the silliness and embrace the childishness when we grow up our spiritual selves and put away the relationships and so-called love, that is based upon self-gratification.

 Here, Krishnamurti explains it well:

"The process of thought ever denies love. It is thought that has emotional complications, not love. Thought is the greatest hindrance to love. Thought creates a division between what is and 'what should be', and on this division morality is based; but neither the moral nor the immoral know love. This moral structure, created by the mind to hold social relationships together, is not love, but a hardening process like that of cement. Thought does not lead to love, thought does not cultivate love, for love cannot be cultivated as a plant in the garden. The very desire to cultivate love is the action of thought. If you are at all aware, you will see what an important part thought plays in your life. Thought obviously has its place, but it is in no way related to love. What is related to thought can be understood by thought, but that which is not related to thought cannot be caught by the mind. You will ask, then what is love? Love is a state of being in which thought is not; but the very definition of love is a process of thought, and so it is not love. We have to understand thought itself, and not try to capture love by thought. The denial of thought does not bring about love. There is freedom from thought only when its deep significance is fully understood; and, for this, profound self-knowledge is essential, not vain and superficial assertions. Meditation and not repetition, awareness and not definition, reveal the ways of thought. Without being aware and experiencing the ways of thought, love cannot be."

Understanding the final scene in the movie "Frequencies"

We recommended the movie, "Frequencies" in a recent post

 http://lifestyleluminaries.blogspot.com/2014/12/every-once-in-while.html 

and after some discussion about it with friends, it seems that it would be useful to give some background info to help better understand just how powerful the final scene is. If you will recall in that scene, Theo, (who really is the main character in my opinion), is chatting with his father who leaves in disappointment after he discovers that Theo has discovered the proverbial, "Theory of Everything" and now knows everything that is going to happen. Theo's quest for understanding came early in life which is what the early scenes in the movie are about. Theo tells his father that just because he knows the "score" of the play, he can still enjoy the performance. Theo does not yet fully know who he is until that final scene in which he stops time. Then he nonchalantly claims, "So... that's it then".

I say that Theo is the main character in the story, (not the movie of course) because the main plot centers around him and his awakening. Just like in real life... the drama is played out by other characters while Theo is relatively in the background and not seen much at all, until the end. Theo's father is actually playing the part of Judas, the reveal-er, and has to say goodbye in the final scene and Theo does not seem to upset about it. You see, this story is Theo's mystical revelation to the inheritance of "The Kingdom". If you look at Judas as a state of consciousness that reveals the truth, and Jesus as the consciousness of revealed truth... then you see that Judas must leave or,"commit suicide" in order for the new state of consciousness to remain permanent. One cannot be in two states of consciousness at the same time... You can not be Jesus and Judas, so Judas must go and Judas knows he must.

Below I am introducing you to some quotes by Neville taken from some of his transcribed lectures, which describe the phenomena in final scene and give it some meaning. It is one of the final acts in the play of self-realization... You know... the one when you know you are God. 

Neville From "Who is the Son of Man?"

   .... "Dominion is supremacy in determining and deciding and directing the actions of others. It is really ascendancy over human and unhuman forces, such as assures being obeyed.

Now, let me give you an experience of mine that you may taste of this power that is in store for you.

Listen to Julian Treasure teach us how to communicate CONSCIOUSLY!!! In this excellent TED Talk...

Holy Mole-y!!!

 This mole on my nose literally FELL OFF my face in less than 48 hours! I just applied a drop of doTERRA essential oil to it and covered it with a customized band-aid that I made. After 24 hrs, it did not look like much was happening... Then I woke up this morning and took the band-aid off and the mole was stuck to the band-aid. The mole showed up a couple of years ago and was only a little annoying. I had heard of people getting rid of moles with essential oils and finally decided to try it. I am impressed!

Harold and the Purple Crayon

A Profound Revelation of Human Imagination and True Causation:

Disguised as a Children's book, Harold tells the ultimate story of every Human's journey through this world of illusion, in a cute and lighthearted way. Harold desires an adventure, so he takes his purple crayon to draw a path and begins walking down it. It's a boring path and he begins feeling lonely so he goes off the path and draws some friends with his purple crayon. You will notice that Harold NEVER loses his purple crayon... it is ALWAYS with him. Harold is causing and creating everything in his adventure. Even when he is frightened by one of his creations, he unwittingly creates a problem with his crayon. But... no problem! He just uses his crayon to create a solution! Harold's purple crayon is the Imagination... with the power to do everything and anything and like your imagination...  is with you always.

Harold is Imagination
 in the act of Imagining.

This is a VERY important concept as we explore the mystical meanings of scripture. You will notice that Harold's discovery and use of the purple crayon takes place in his sleep. Man is in a profound sleep... the sleep of 'Adam'. And isn't it interesting that nowhere in the Bible does it say that 'Adam' ever woke up?

When Harold discovers his creative power... his Imagination... his "Purple Crayon" and begins creating lots of things, good and bad, lovely and dramatic. He draws himself into the Prodigal Journey (Link; The Prodigal Son post) With his creative power, he begins to remember who he is and longs to return home.

Again, he uses his creative power to get back. Harold draws a policeman to ask for the way home... but he was pointing in the direction Harold was going anyway, so he just continued. Then, with his Imagination, he begins to remember his bedroom where the adventure began, and starts drawing all the things that surrounded him in his bed. He draws a window around the moon, draws his bed, climbs in and "draws" up the covers. A perfect ending!

One of our truly favorite books and so simple to understand!

Martin Luther King Jr... An Enlightened Perspective

We had the great privilege and honor of witnessing this dialog with Abraham on a Mexican cruise with them a few years ago. The women was questioning the cultural and educational system that insists on perpetuating the ideas of slavery and injustice, which have nothing to do with her young son. She did not want her son to become identified with those roles and wondered what she could say to her son about it that would be uplifting. Abraham's answer is priceless. If we could all see the world with the understanding described in this video... what a wonderful world it would be!

Holodynamics: Every Problem is Caused by its Solution...

Here we are connecting you to Vernon Woolf and Holodynamics. After watching his full interview on Conscious Media Network many years ago... we were so moved that we decided we had to find him and pay him a visit. He was holding a weekend training in Santa Barbara so we and a couple of friends made the trip and spent the weekend in a very unique and powerful training. We really hit it off with him and he invited us to hang out with him for a couple days after which we all shared in consciousness together. He wanted us to become trainers of Holodynamics which he was just getting restarted back in the U.S. after being in the former Soviet Union for ten years. We liked that idea but are not inclined to rigid "systems" of training. We are certainly not against such things as they are very effective for most people but such things are not harmonious with us. We did, however, dive into his books and find his work to be VERY useful.

Every Problem is Caused by its Solution...

You have to think about that one for a minute or two............ problems appear as the result of a covenant with the desire to experience the solution. You have to think about that for a while as well. Vernon is one of the "Super-Educated" most well read people we have ever known or even heard about. His widely varied background and insatiable desire to understand the "Whole Dynamic" of life, ie; "Holodynamics" allowed him to give a powerful perspective on the earth experience.

The video above is a preview of the entire interview which you can access here  http://www.gaiamtv.com/video/vernon-woolf-holodynamics   You can access the site and the video on a free trial basis and you may find, as we have, that the $9/month is well worth it.

Here are some of his books which we have read: The Therapy Manifesto is an invitation to a higher consciousness of what is called "Therapy" which we really love. The Dance of Life is priceless. Holodynamics explains it ALL!

The Pruning Shears of Re-Vision...

After a wonderful gathering of like-minded individuals and discussing a lot of deeply spiritual concepts... It became apparent that we could all benefit by reviewing one of the most powerful activities that a human being can indulge in... The Art of Re-vision. We have all been given the greatest gift in the Universe... Imagination. This is the 90% of the brain that lies dormant... also known as the Right Side of the brain. Our left brains are sooo overwhelmed with stimulation and intellectual activity that there is no room and no time for Imagination. And just a few simple techniqies that absolutely anyone and everyone can do... FOR FREE!... is described in the lecture that follows. The speaker is a bit cryptic, so stick with it because that kind of speech is addressing the Imagination.

Fundamentally,  a great way to start is to sit or lay quietly in room, close your eyes, and Imagine you are in another room... perhaps your kitchen. You can close your eyes and see your kitchen... Yes? Do not be discouraged if you say you cannot... have you ever had a dream? Did you see people or things in your dream? If you did, then you can see things in your Imagination. Just keep trying. Your inner vision muscle may have atrophied and just need a little coaxing. So, with your eyes closed, in your
Imagination, open some cupboards. Feel the knob on the door to the cupboard. Hear the squeak of the hing. Look at what is inside. Continue exploring different areas. Do this every day and when you have become board with the kitchen, move to another room, or perhaps the house you grew up in. Continue this exercise and keep expanding it. You can go places you have never been before, when you get practiced. And, this will be the launching point to cultivate your power to change the world or the universe... but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Practice!

So, here is the lecture;

THE PRUNING SHEARS OF REVISION

This morning's subject is "The Pruning Shears of Revision". I firmly believe that if you will wisely and daily use the pruning shears of revision that you will find there is no objective beyond your ability to realize. And I mean that seriously, no objective beyond your ability to realize.

Casual Conversations on Consciousness with Jay D. Allen

As an expansion of, and in addition to, LifeStyle Luminaries radio program (link) we thought it would be fun to video some of the conversations. This one takes place while we were staying in Orange County, CA, and were told by our friend, Angel B, of Angel B Productions, that we just had to meet her friend, Jay D. Allen. We knew nothing about him and Angel has a great reputation for connecting "like-minds" so we agreed. It turns out that Jay has been a motivational speaker and author from a very young age and has written several books. You can find out more about him at www.HumansInHealing.com

This is a lively and unedited video covering a lot of topics centered around consciousness, spirituality and causality. The conversation got real deep, real fast... even before the camera got rolling. So, thanks Angel B for being a great facilitator!
