Self Awareness @ MindSay

In the process of expanding ‘self’, i.e., intellect, will, emotions, conciousness, it’s impossible not to encounter the more expanded (or higher) degree of the principle of, or the relationship with, cause and effect, i.e., causality. 

 

I agree with the scientific field’s proposition that there is, indeed, a “Theory of Everything”, and not only is it the basis for a unified field theory, but it is considered the grandest of theories. 

 

There is an underlying force that sustains and maintains the physical universe and as unscientific as this may sound, I believe this force to be Love!  This belief determines Love to be, not only the answer to all questions, but in and of itself, the essential question as well, leading us to recognize Love, in it’s preestablished ascendancy, as All in All. 

 

I am using a scientific concept to support spiritual truth.  All things exist and consist in this Truth which is, Love is the Infinite Creative Force underlying all beginnings!  From this point, every advancing stage of growth and development is a “becoming”.

 

Because you and I are simultaneously expanding our awareness of ourselves through sharing love of the creative process, i.e., expression of ideas, poetry, literature, art, music, philosophy, etc., we are eternally in an ongoing process of “becoming” new. 

 

Any time energy is devoted to and expended toward the development of questions and ideas and then extended  to the implementation and resolution of those ideas and questions, it becomes a consciousness expanding experience from which we will not emerge as we once were, hence, we will be new.  We are constantly being “renewed” by the transforming of our mind (s).

 

It’s very possible that through the process of sharing, we will become aware of Love for/ from one another, but then, it will only be the awareness that is new and not the Love.  This is because Love is the Constant Is.  What is impossible, however, is that we may not interact with each other, even in the most innocent and abstract way, without, at some point in the process, becoming one. 

 

after thought....Compassion and kindness are manifestations of Love.

"Ben, the foulest sinner of all is the hypocrite who makes a racket of religion. But we must give the Devil his due. Mike does believe and he's teaching the truth as he sees it. As for his 'Old Ones,' I don't know that they don't exist; I simply find the idea hard to swallow. As for his Thou-Art-God creed, it is neither more nor less credible than any other. Come Judgment Day, if they hold it, we may find that Mumbo Jumbo the God of the Congo was Big Boss all along."

 

"Oh, for Heaven's sake, Jubal!"

 

"All names belong in the hat, Ben. Man is so built that he cannot imagine his own death. This leads to endless invention of religions. While this conviction by no means proves immortality to be a fact, questions generated by it are overwhelmingly important. The nature of life, how ego hooks into the body, the problem of ego itself and why each ego seems to be the center of the universe, the purpose of life, the purpose of the universe--these are paramount questions, Ben; they can never be trivial. Science hasn't solved them--and who am I to sneer at religions for trying, no matter how unconvincingly to me? Old Mumbo Jumbo may eat me yet; I can't rule him out because he owns no fancy cathedrals. Nor can I rule out one godstruck boy leading a sex cult in an upholstered attic; he might be the Messiah. The only religious opinion I feel sure of is this: self-awareness is not just a bunch of amino acids bumping together!"

Years of chasing down the elusive path of Truth seems to wind up right back where you started. You're here on this earth in the guise of a human-being within the contextual reality of a political, socio-economic system. Somehow, you simply have to make it all work, tweaking constantly at the little things to see the big changes eventually come round. After searching for truth all those years, the only change is the person you have become.

 

The depth of self-knowldge you acquired, along with a deeper connection to Source, you recognize the importance and value of your life and your fellow man. This is the impetus for engagement, being involved, and being the example within a system that may not align fully with your spiritual values and cravings. Even so, you remember: You are to be a light unto the world. Let your light shine and be fully who you are.

 

Maintain your integrity of spirit and maintain your connection to Spirit. Live and love your values in the context of society and see that light change others around you. Remember the time your journey took and place no expectations on results for others. Leave that in their hands, God is big enough. Do not be so heavenly-minded that you are no earthly-good. Allow yourself to be with the discomfort of the present-day realities and realize that you have the power of choice. Choose to live in accordance with your own spiritual truth, your own spiritual values, and live your passion.

 

Your own journey, leading to deeper self-knowledge, has revealed your own unique purpose. You now know how you are to be of service to the rest of society. The things that get you excited, the things that frustrate, all worked together to guide you down a narrowing path of self-awareness. As this focus becomes sharper and specific, you have a stronger sense of being on purpose and are able to make powerful choices that align with who you are. Your values are lived and experienced. Your light shines. You bring glory to that which gives life.

Song of the Moment: The Jim Yoshii Pile-Up - Jailhouse Rock

I hate having to think that I need to make a new blog just to escape people who are supposed to be my friends, since they read my other one.

I wonder at the neccesity of drama in some people's lives in order for the day to be interesting. Why is it fun to fuck with people's heads, just because you can? How is it possible to attain some sort of gratification from another's demise, at your hands? I don't understand why people who say that they value your friendship complain about you to your other friends. Some people say that it's a familial thing. We all complain about our family members to other family members. But it never hurt this much. Friendship has a bond that is different than family, I think. Once your friendship has moved to a familial level, I feel like it's degraded. It lets you take advantage of another person because you are so comfortable with them that you almost don't think twice about how they feel. And to an extent, you depend on your friends more than your family. At least I do. I feel more comfortable expressing myself and my fears to my friends rather than my family. Family is so judgemental. Friends are not supposed to be. So I hate feeling that my friends are ganging up on me and that they talk about me behind my back. I wonder if it was me and if I did something wrong, although every self help book and sympathetic ear would probably say that I probably did nothing, and I would most likely make myself believe them. But that voice in the back of my head says, "It's you. YOU." So I'm taking some space. Some time to be comfortable with depending on myself and maybe to get into the habit of not always looking to others for confirmation of whether I am good enough or whether I've done something right. I feel like I can't really find valuable friends until I actually believe that I am ok.

I think I used to be ok. I just need to get to a point where I know that I'm ok.
