What Is-Real?

 

by Tim Che'

Another take on the theme, "The Maker Being Lost in the Made"

The focus of this post is the quote in the accompanying picture. To be lost in the "Made" is to be lost in what Is-Real, or IsRael. It is an unconscious form of narcissism and a very difficult trap to get out of.

For you see, we have, over time, created the ultimate gate-keeper of the trap... the intellectual faculties of the mind. Which regards truth only in terms of what appears to be real. Not realizing that what it sees in the external world is a result of a cause.

And that cause is the Imagination.

Which created something out of nothing. Something the science-priests of the world have yet to do and they will be unlikely to discover it using the external eyes of logic and reasoning.

The crisis in today's world is a Spiritual one, not a religious one. The battle is raging in you, and is being externalized in the "real" world. (read, The Battle of Armageddon")

So, to see this world as REAL, is to be trapped forever in it with no way out. But what created the world as it is, can create it as you would like it to be. It is the only creative power in the universe and it is the power that sustains it... The Imagination.

So, to see things as "Real" is to deny that all things are possible to God, and God is your Imagination.
And god and you are ONE.

Clif High Reveals Neville Goddard...

 Now, it's interesting watching things change. I've always appreciated Clif's intellect and spiritual endeavors into the "WOO", and I remember at time when he boldly poo-pooed the "Law-of-Attraction" genre of the time. So to hear him talk about Neville Goddard and MANIFESTATION is both perplexing and releiving. "Ends  run true to Origins". What started in the"WOO" ends in the "WOO". The mind/soul steps out of the "WOO" and into the intellect which is "time" for the PRODIGAL JOURNEY: Read https://lifestyleluminaries.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-prodigal-son-mystical-revelation.html.

Here is an excellent overview https://neville-goddard.blogspot.com/ AND the most in-depth exploration into Neville's work that exists:

The Garden of Eden is the Mind of Man

You are the Gardener of your mind. 

You have been given the responsibility to, "Dress it and to keep it". 

Perhaps you have been taking a nap... and weeds have begun to grow in your mind during your slumber. Take a look around and what do you see? If you see the weeds of anger, or violence, or despair, disease, poverty, etc, etc,... you can immediately begin to prune them with your mind.

The Law of Reversibility...

Consciousness and Matter are One phenomenon. All transformations of force are reversible.

Electricity can produce magnetism... and magnetism can be used to produce electricity.

Heat can produce mechanical motion... and mechanical motion can be used to produce heat.

Cause and effect, matter and energy, action and reaction are the same and inter-convertible.

When you fully understand this law, you will begin to tame and master your mind and shape your world into your ideal.

Beyond the Consciousness of Healing

 Beyond the Consciousness of Healing

Published by Edge Life, A Holistic Journal, March 2006 

by Tim Che'

What lies beyond the consciousness of healing is a topic to ponder, not one to debate.  It is a perspective about what you believe and how you manifest your world.  It is your choice what to believe is true, a choice that nobody can take away from you.  But once you have chosen what is true for you, will you realize that the circumstances you will meet have been pre-arranged from your preconceived notions of what is true and your only choice from then on is how you will react to these circumstances?  What comes your way is predetermined from your choice, your selection —whether intentional or not—of a state of consciousness.  The following is a dialog about choice from the broadest perspective: the choice of what you believe to be true about the world and you. You have but one choice to make that will determine the course of everything in your world and your role in it:

Do you believe that your inner conversations and mental activity are a result of your life-circumstances? 

Or, do you believe that your life-circumstances are a result of your inner conversations and mental activity?

  

Your Only Choice

If you believe the former—that your inner conversations and mental activity are a result of your

external life-circumstances—then your only choice from now on is in how you will react to the circumstances prepared for you by the chosen state of consciousness you occupy, and you might even be quite unaware of your choice altogether.  You will be a “re-actor” reacting to the facts your chosen state of consciousness presents to you.  You might even feel successful or an expert in your reactions.  Others might admire the results of your reactions, but you are still limited by your chosen field of reaction. Since we are discussing going beyond healing consciousness, if you are a “healer” and are comfortably identified with that state you may save yourself the energy of any conflict that could arise from reading further by stopping now and continuing in the world—the consciousness—of your choosing.  No one can deny you that anyway.

If, however, after careful consideration you decide to believe the latter—that your life-circumstances are a result of your inner conversations and mental activity— you can begin to understand you are God, a Creator. This will be the premise for the rest of the dialog and by agreeing, if you notice any arguments creeping into your mind, it may be that you have changed your mind about the premise.

Command and Control

So, as a creator, do you have command over your inner conversations and mental activity?  Do you have control over the direction of your creation?  Is your habitual state of mind predominant in defining your world?  Do you run over the same old patterns of likes, dislikes, agitations, addictions, and desires for knowledge?  These patterns are representative of the state of consciousness you have wittingly or unwittingly chosen and are reflected in your reality, which is projected onto the screen of space to become your experience.

There are infinite states of consciousness and mankind is continually moving in and out of these states, mostly unaware.  You are always in a “state” and it is useful to realize that you are separate from the

Infinite Love in Unthinkable Origin...

In tribute to Neville Goddard:

"It is an intuitive desire of all mankind to be a finer, nobler being, to do the loving thing. But we can do the loving thing only when all we imagine is full of love for our neighbor. Then we know the truth, the truth that sets all mankind free. I believe this is a message that will aid us all in the art of living a better and finer life.

Infinite love in unthinkable origin was called God, the Father. 

Infinite love in creative expression was called God, the Son. 

Infinite love in universal interpenetration, in Infinite Immanence, and in Eternal procession, was called God, the Holy Ghost. 

 

We must learn to know ourselves as Infinite Love, as good rather than evil. This is not something that we have to become; it is, rather, for us to recognize something that we are already.

The original birthplace of imagination is in love. 

Love is its lifeblood. Insofar as imagination retains its own life’s blood (is operated with love), its visions are images of truth. Then it mirrors the living identity of the thing it beholds. But if imagination should deny the very power that has brought it to birth, then the direst sort of horror will begin.

Instead of rendering back living images of the truth, imagination will fly to love’s opposite – fear and its visions will then be perverted and contorted reflections cast upon a screen of frightful fantasy. Instead of being the supremely creative power, it will become the active agent of destruction. Wherever man’s attitude to life is truly imaginative, there man and God are merged in creative unity. Remember that Love is always creative, causative in every sphere from the highest to the very lowest. There never

Why are We Hear?...

by Tim Che'

To listen for the call... 

of the birth of the Imagination in You

Image-Making happens in Man's Imagination. 

The Imagination is that part of your mind that can "see" things with your eyes closed; that can "hear" the voice of a departed loved one; that can "smell" coffee cooking even in its absence and can reach out and "feel" the softness of a rose petal in your mind. It is this part of you that can connect directly to the eternal. After all... if you can smell bacon cooking, even though their is none present, then where does the smell of bacon cooking exist? When you close your eyes to the "outer" world and find yourself standing outside on a sunny day, in a dream... where does the sunlight come from? If you can, in a dream, see places and objects, and have conversations with people... where do these things exist?

They all exist inside you... in your eternal nature. They exist in that part of you that is distracted by thinking and overwhelmed with responses to the physical senses. It is where ALL things exist and it is within YOU.

You are "The Light of the World"

But you/we have been taught to use our minds to "Think". 

And thought has NEVER created anything.

Thought can only "Think" about what has been created. Yet, it is so clever that it can think it is being creative. A truly creative act

The Wile E. Coyote of Consciousness... Ahriman

By Tim Che'

All things are TRUE.
 Because TRUTH is not dependent upon anything outside the perceiver of TRUTH. Hence, a true judgment need not conform to the external facts to which it relates.

And all things are in BALANCE

Our Mental image of the psychic embodiment of perfection and Grace is an idea personified in the word "Christ".

It's opposite, would be named, Satan, or Lucifer, or, in this discussion Ahriman.

Ahriman is the name that the Mystic, Anthroposophist, Rudolf Steiner, gives to his psychic impression of evil. I recently came across this information through the Dark Journalist YouTube channel, "X-Series" (Click link), which we highly recommend.

Steiner's Sculpture of Ahriman

Now, I do not pretense as any kind of authority on Anthroposophy, and Steiner makes a distinction between Ahriman and Lucifer. But Fear is Fear, and fear looks like evil, in whatever form we assemble it into from our conditioned mind.

This personification of Steiner's fear, Ahriman, has allegedly created a trap for the innocent, and the deceived, called the 8th Sphere. It is alleged that this trap is set to keep us indefinitely recycling in a world that seems very much like this one so that we do not spiritually advance to the higher dimensional realities.

Now, Steiner's subconscious personifications are universal and not unique. And although it sounds, and looks scary, it has no power over the spiritually awake.

Hence our comparison of Ahriman to "Wile E. Coyote" in the classic "Road Runner" cartoons.

The spiritually awake would be the Road Runner. For the UN-initiated to the cartoon... The Road Runner is always breezing through the cartoon world with ease while the Coyote is endlessly scheming of complicated ways to catch him. The Road Runner is completely unconcerned with Coyote's antics and NEVER seems to get caught up in the traps.

The Pursuit of Visions and Experiences Leads to Illusions and Self-Hypnosis

"What an extraordinary thing meditation is. If there is any kind of compulsion, effort to make thought conform, imitate, then it becomes a wearisome burden. The silence which is desired ceases to be illuminating. If it is the pursuit of visions and experiences, then it leads to illusions and self-hypnosis. Only in the flowering of thought and so ending thought does meditation have significance. Thought can only flower in freedom, not in ever-widening patterns of knowledge. Knowledge may give newer experiences of greater sensation but a mind that is seeking experiences of any kind is immature. Maturity is the freedom from all experience; it is no longer under any influence to be or not to be.Maturity in meditation is the freeing of the mind from knowledge, for knowledge shapes and controls all experience. A mind which is a light to itself needs no experience. Immaturity is the craving for greater and wider experience. Meditation is the wandering through the world of knowledge and being free of it to enter into the unknown." - Krishnamurti, Krishnamurti Notebook,213

The Prodigal Poem

Some fly high in ships of light

Some sail stormy seas at night

They seek the end of their great plight

But it’s in their mind  they've taken flight

Some fly high... Some fly low

In the search to finally know

Why they wander through the land to grow...

Feed Your Satisfaction... Not Your Hunger

"You may feed your hunger by thinking of your desire, or feed its satisfaction by thinking from its fulfillment." (Neville)

...A critical distinction in the use of your mind towards creative ends. It is important to remember that

thoughts do not create things. 

Thoughts come in patterns from the channel you are tuned into unconsciously. To change to a more desirable channel, one must tune the mind to it by 'Thinking FROM the fulfillment of desire'. That means imagining the FEELING of already having what you now desire. Practice the feeling until it feels natural and normal. You may even lose the feeling of desire for it. The worst case scenario is that nothing will change but you will have the joy of feeling better while you practice. And if you practice, for as little as 17 seconds a day, you WILL see results!

The Keyboard of Life...

Every experience in life is like a note, played on an infinite piano keyboard...
The following is an exerpt from the lecture, "Seedtime and Harvest" 

Read it at http://neville-goddard.blogspot.com/p/seedtime.html

Your Children are not Your Children

      "Your children are not your children. 

      They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing to know itself. 

      They come through you but not from you, 

      And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. 

      You may give them your love but not your thoughts. 

      For they have their own thoughts. 

      You may house their bodies but not their souls, 

      For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. 

      You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. 

      For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. 

      You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. 

      The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. 

      Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; 

      For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable." (Kahlil Gibran) 

A Mind that is Choosing is a Mind that is in Confusion...

If you knew what you wanted, you would not be choosing. Your desire would be obvious to the point

that no other options existed to 'choose' from. It is the EGO and the Intellect that like choices... "Look what "I" chose... and aren't "I" soo smart, knowledgeable, clever for making such an good choice." or "Look what "I" have identified myself with".

And is there any real choice if your decision is the result of an unconscious program that was put in your mind by "others"? 

 You think you are choosing a Chevrolet, or to vote Republican, or buy Nike... a zillion ideas have been put into our heads by the time we are 10 years old and most people have never stopped to question any of them because they are unaware that they exist. The great advertisers and propagandists of the world are very well aware of how the mind works... are YOU? 

If you are not, you have probably never made any real choice at all your entire life.

Choice implies an awareness of options but if you are not aware of your own mental programming, are you really in choice? Certainly not. But well developed Egos and Intellects feed off of all these unconscious identifications and most find it comfotable there.

I hope you do not!

Here, Krishnamurti sets us straight...

"We think we are free when we choose; but we are not, are we? Where there is choice, there is no freedom because that very choice springs from our conditioned state. We thing we have a will of our own, and we exercise that will through choice. But, if you observe, you will see that well is the outcome of innumerable desires, of many forms  of frustration, fears; and these frustrations, fears , desires are the outcome  of our conditioning, of our background; so when we choose, we are never free. Choice in itself indicates the lack of freedom. A man who is really free has no choice; he is free... not to be this or that, but to BE. As long as we have choice, we are really not free and we are not really individuals." (J. Krishnamurti)
