~ A Few Things First ~

Spiritual Hype

Spirituality should not be put on a pedestal just for the sake of doing so. In fact when one becomes Profoundly Spiritual, the various Spiritual Realities are all the order of the day, just as our reality here on earth is. Our reality here on earth is but one view of God, whilst the spiritual kingdoms others - both nonetheless view the same God. This God is Consciousness. This is Oneself; and the various appreciations of Self/God are but the various realities.

Our physical reality is only deemed “physical” because it just so happens to vibrate at a lower frequency of consciousness than do the spiritual realities. All realities are but one single reality – the expressions of Consciousness (or if you like, the expressions of Self/God). These expressions are what man understands to be creation (albeit that many refer only to physical creation).

In absolute terms there is nothing at all uniquely special about the Spiritual Kingdoms or their occupants, the material or non-material, good or evil, or anything in all of creation for that matter. You see, there is nothing uniquely special about any one thing because all things are but manifestations of Consciousness, none more important than another - there is simply a continuum of Consciousness that brings on the continuum of the Realities (expressions) of that Consciousness (Self/God).

This world is but a piece of the Puzzle. Attainment of the [full] Puzzle is effortless. Effort, in fact, will only distract. Full attainment is captured in a Breath. It is the wind. It is the moment. It is the Name of Realization. The will to live and to be alive brings this all on. It happens perpetually. It's only up to us to realize the moment and be Self/God! To be alive (and thus living) is [itself] spontaneous realization (on at least the physical level), where we are all automatically Self/God expressed in physical form. Even the energy (Prana) that sustains the physical body bears witness to and is a part of this realization. It is in this way that we are all God incarnate (pieces of the Puzzle, if you like). Since realization occurs only in the moment, we can only ever live in the moment. To not realize Self/God is simply to not be Alive. “Living in the past” is only a mental activity - a partial realization – an incarnation elsewhere, and only in our minds. This is spiritually unhealthy since it does not involve the fullness of oneself - only the mind. Full realization must involves the whole of man (his personality).

How is it the world comes to you? You call it “being alive”. But what is this so-called “being alive?” Being alive is to be Self/God. The incarnate see God as the world – the material. This is why, for the incarnate man, material possessions are so important and why he has this persistent feeling of being here in the world in the first place. Being incarnate is to embrace God as the world. This is why one should [anyway] experience all aspects of life and living (whilst here). This is to embrace God. Remember, an incarnation fully lived need not to be relived (since this helps the soul on).

The Spiritual Worlds are the various aspects to Ourselves/God, for one’s own Consciousness, through Will, brings on all things. It is for this very reason that the Spiritual Worlds each appear to be various Realities distinct in themselves and which, in their totality, represent all things, including Our various expressions (aspects/bodies - such as the physical, ethereal, emotional and mental).

Consciousness

Man knows only of consciousness revealed to him through his faculties of perception, for he has come to restrict his mind in this way. For man, an understanding of Self/God comes therefore only as manifest consciousness (what he perceives), revealed as the ever-present (since everything ever only happens in the ever-present). In error, he calls this “himself”, claiming ownership to his own worldly experiences (bundling them together to form a part of his ever-evolving soul). He calls this life – his life here on earth.

What many fail to realize, though, is that this is where it ends. It is an error to assume either a past or future. The past and future are but lies – strict illusions; for they occur not now - only present constructions make the illusions of the past, and for seers, the illusions of the future. The present moment is alone Self/God. This is where it ends. This world is actually paradise – we need only open our eyes and see Self/God. There is no future Heaven or Hell. Everything that will ever happen is happening only now. This is Self/God. Today, right now, this very moment is the only opportunity to embrace Self/God. Embracing Self/God is only ever spontaneous. One is thus only ever spontaneously realized to be Self/God. And who is Self/God? Self/God is the present moment. And what brings on the moment? It is Will, your will. This is the Creator – the bringer of the moment.

Manifest consciousness is actually organized consciousness against the backdrop of unorganized consciousness. When consciousness becomes organized, energy results. When energy becomes organized, creation results. Creation however is only ever known through appreciation. The appreciation itself can be referred to as the appreciation of the present moment. This is packaged as one’s personality*.

* The personality is the constitution of and interplay between the physical, ethereal, emotional (astral) and mental aspects/bodies to Oneself/God. The personality is thus the sum total experience of a fruitful incarnation - though some incarnations can be experienced beyond these aspects. These latter incarnations are of those ranging from those especially sent down through to the Avatars (what people in general deem to be direct incarnations of God).

Although Consciousness is Self/God, what is all-important, and what we should all be focusing on, is Will - the Bringer of Consciousness. Greater than Will is Transcendence – [the] Truth. This however cannot be focused on since, by the very nature of Transcendence, one cannot focus on that which Transcends All. Neither can one be It. One simply is It. This is [the] Truth.

The Present Moment

For whatever reason we're here, life is always lived out to its fullest, no matter what happens. In fact it's because of what happens that life is always lived out to its fullest. Whether one is a “success” or “failure” in this lifetime, the “path” of one's life is still the fullest chosen experience. This is so because it is a given that one is what one is, just as anything else is what it is. It is because of this that the very laws of nature have their being and are perpetually sustained in the moment in the first place! Everything simply is.

Since man regards God to be everything, and since everything only ever happens in the present, for man, God is the present moment. The present moment though is really only the nature of Self/God whilst the manifestations (the things of this world for example) the appreciations. Seeing a bird in this world, for example, is just one particular way (dimension) in which you appreciate the present moment. It is one particular way in which you appreciate God (Consciousness). The bird will come to you and say, “Can you see me?” This is Self/God talking through, but more truthfully, as the bird – Its representative – Its expression – Its form. The bird is but one expression of God – known only through appreciation. In fact the appreciation is what brings on (wills) the expression in the first place. Appreciation is thus Will, the Creator. You see the bird because your consciousness wills it so. This is how the bird is manifest in the first place! Your consciousness organizes itself in such a way so as to manifest the bird. The bird does not just so happen to be there in front of you. No, the bird rises from within you as you come to a greater realization of Yourself/God. That realization itself is, in this example, the bird in front of you.

So don't worry about the future. Live only for the present, for this is to live only for Self/God. Since Self/God is the present moment, and since Self, God and Consciousness are all the same, the present moment is actually the consciousness of man - and which we know it to be - the present moment is our consciousness. What results from out of the present moment is what results from out of the consciousness of man. When a man falls asleep the worldly manifestations of the present moment fall away as he transcends the consciousness that brings on the world.

The present is what we are all called, for now, to experience and to be. For we are indeed all here, are we not? And if we are here, let us be here indeed! Feel the world! Feel the flesh! Know what it means to be here – to be alive! Once your consciousness ceases to bring on the world it may or may not bring on the next. Even as ones single physical life here on earth unfolds so too can one move through many lifetimes on other planes of existence (planes of non-existence of course have no incarnations). Recognizing the fruits of consciousness (the meaning of the worlds) is to conquer the necessity for a re-birth for [here] one sees only Self/God. Yes, we are all Self/God incarnate, and never is there Death; and so, never is there death.

Consideration

Consideration is a key to acute understanding. Anyone that philosophizes extensively and who does not necessarily take things at face value may well find this book interesting, if not stimulating. An initial step in the process of consideration is an opening of the mind to possibilities. To this end, it's often useful to adopt a mindset that accepts that anything is possible. But this is only an initial step in triggering a possible mindset alteration. It's important to not fall into the trap of accepting anything as possible merely for its own sake, for this would be a purely academic exercise of the brain and thus prone to illusion.

Once one’s mindset has shifted though, it can then be allowed to realize for itself its own truth, subject to any self-imposed limitations. These limitations are products of a “domain of acceptance” established by one’s mindset, where one accepts some things as possible but not other things. This domain is limited only by the bounds of one’s own reality – a product of one’s attained consciousness. Thus within this domain, things considered to be possible really are, for the domain is itself reality. If, for any particular possibility, one knows that it's fabricated, one hasn't gone far enough into its consideration, and the possibility thus remains only an illusion.

It is the brain that, through consideration, distinguishes illusion from reality, thus clearly defining both (this is why those that fail to sufficiently distinguish both are deemed by the norm to be mentally ill). It is in this very way (sound distinction) that the brain separates us from God. The truth though is that God is all things, man included. It is the mind that comes from a consciousness that refuses to see this, thereby constantly denying us our True Selves. This denial is manifest as each our respective incarnations. For as long as the denial continues, one remains separate from Oneself, and will thus incarnate again and again and again; for these incarnations merely express each our chosen underlying consciousnesses.

The reality you find yourself in is a direct representation of your heart. If the world is dismal, find out from your heart why! Of course, one of your Higher Selves can make you this way – make you suffer by giving you this or that in this lifetime. But at the end of the day You (that Higher Self) still bring the world to you (your lower self) in the way that It does. It is for this very reason that people believe in God (in the way that they do); and many blame God for this and that. They do not realize that it is Themselves that bring on the world. This is the case because the world rises from out of one’s own consciousness. It has to come from somewhere. It rises from within oneself (as an expression of Oneself). Do not look toward a better or worse future. Understand only the meaning of the NOW.

For any particular person, certain things may be considered impossible and will remain as such in that person's reality. Such a person cannot advance into another person's reality until outstanding impossibilities become possibilities. This is why each person’s reality is unique, and how I have come to see God. So what was impossible for another became my possibility! Indeed, it is the possible, expressed as attained consciousness, that makes up the individual with that individual's reality - being who that person is, and knowing what that person knows. This is actually what fully defines that individual's personality. This is what people refer to as their “own souls”. It is in this precise way that people manifest here differently and are found to be expressly individualistic – physically, ethereally, emotionally and mentally; and this is of course the individual personality.

Point of Reference

The mind has the compulsion to negotiate everything from within a domain of reference. This domain itself is what defines reality - a reality where everything is always relative to everything else. For example, we know some things to be taller, slower, shorter, faster or the same as other things. It’s the role of consideration to transcend the dependency on reference and to simply consider the essence of an entity and nothing more - where nothing can be said about the entity, thereby leaving the consideration itself [Cosmically] centered and unbiased. This is a powerful technique in expanding the envelope of Mind, the Cosmos, where one can, from that point onwards, consider all things at once in a truthful, unbiased manner. In light of all this then, it’s good practice to train the mind to think in terms of the possible. After all this is the very mindset that one should adopt when reading this book.

Simple Stuff?

Often the most complex considerations appear at first to be simple. So if something seems obvious, re-consider the point, and find within yourself personal worth and meaning. Don't just think it, feel it! Use your heart! Know that it’s the only channel to Yourself.

Filtered Knowledge

In order to achieve greater realization of what, in Truth, is being considered, heightened states of consciousness via the chakras are [often] needed. When one attains to Self in this way, all knowledge revealed is filtered by the brain and expressed as the mind, whereby multi-dimensional messages (the Heavens) come to this world as reflections of Oneself. This is creation. Further filtering occurs when the brain creates memory as the already-filtered messages are filtered down further still to dimensions narrow enough to become cognitive states. These states comprise the mind*.

* Contrary to popular belief the mind is NOT the metal body. The mental body (or mental aspect) is the action (dimension) of the brain on Mind, the Cosmos, which then results in the mind. The plane of mental execution or the plane of thought is thus the mental plane or the mental aspect to Oneself/God. This is the mental aspect – not the resultant mind. The resultant mind only forms a part of this aspect once appreciated (realized into existence).

Needless to say, much of the essence of the original message is lost and all that often remains is a “sense of Becoming”. Because Mind is separate from and not subject to the brain, writing with normal states of consciousness draws knowledge only from within the brain as postulates that make “sense” when reflecting on the essence of that which is made known from within the various Spiritual Glories. For myself, pen is nonetheless still put to paper because the knowledge that is known is firmly and accurately based on the various Spiritual Glories into which I have entered, and on the states of Being that I am.

Will

Since nothing can ever happen (exist) other than through Will, Will can affectionately be called the Creator. Will is thus the Bringer of the expressions of the Purest Essence of any one thing. That Purest Essence is Transcendence – for nothing can transcend Transcendence Itself. The totality of any one thing has necessarily to be traced back to it’s source, Transcendence. Not a single part of it came into being other than through the action of Will. For that which exists, Will is being exercised to the [precise] nature and [precise] extent of that existence. It is in this precise way that you currently have a personality here, in and as this world. Your consciousness brings this all on, through Will.

In this book, I say that Will is the Creator since nothing can happen other than through It. In other words, that which exists, exists purely because of Will and thus, for such things, Will is “their Creator”. Will, just so happens to be the Creator when it expresses Transcendence through corruption. All expressions are necessarily of a lower form, since they are mere expressions (corruptions) of Transcendence - not Transcendence Itself.

The first of all expressions of Transcendence is Consciousness (God). God is thus the embodiment of the expressions of the Creator. This makes sense because the term "God" is just another name for "all things", and "all things", really, is Consciousness.

Consciousness can be both organized or not organized. When consciousness is not organized, the spiritually enlightened person calls this Self/God. When consciousness is organized, energy results. Energy too can be both organized or not organized. When energy is organized, creation results. And creation is of course what represents our gross forms. These forms can, in their totally, be not only traced back to the Supreme Being, Consciousness, but to the Bringer of that Consciousness, Will; and finally to that which transcends Will Itself - Transcendence. This is why Transcendence is your Purest Essence.

Though Will is what man knows to be “the Creator”, know that there is positively no such thing as “the Creator”. For never was there ever the situation where something now, at one time never was; because for something to be here now has necessarily to be of Consciousness. Consciousness (Self/God) is eternal since It is in no way subject to time. All things are simply expressions of Consciousness, and occur only in and as the ever-present. A more apt name for the “Creator” then, would be the “Expressor” (if ever there were such a word).

One’s expressions (forms) are the various ways whereby one understands Oneself. What is known comes only from Yourself as an expression of Yourself. All things are indeed [mere] expressions of Yourself. This is after all the entire purpose of each our illusionary incarnations - to be but an expression. In truth though, incarnations are actually bodies of pure enlightenment – fully embodying the Formless as the form. It is in this way then that one can, to some extent, come to the realization that one is the “Creator”. One wills this very moment – this very sentence that you now read! Your form/experience here on earth right here, right now can in its totality be traced back to what actions it; and then to the Transcendence beyond even that. You don’t just so happen to be here. The world doesn’t just so happen to come to you. No, Will, your will, brings all this about as various expressions of your consciousness.

Self

Unlike Eastern Scriptures, I prefer not to use the word "Self" (Atma) when describing one’s Purest Essence, for the English word "Self" implies individuality - the only Illusion. Instead, I use only the word "Transcendence" to describe one’s Purest Essence. I use the word "Self" when describing pure Consciousness – for Consciousness is the beginning of individuality, and so the English word "Self" is appropriate here. So what I term "Transcendence", the scriptures call "Self" or "God". This is "Atma". It is "Eternal Bliss" or "Nirvana", and for me, the meaning of Buddha.

God

When, in this book, I talk in terms of "God", I am strictly referring only to Consciousness. The reason why I still make reference to God is so that the reader can understand that what man can fully realize to be God is actually what I know Consciousness to be, since from out of Consciousness comes all things - indeed Consciousness is all things. Consciousness, also does not have to express Itself, and so It can remain unknown, and not subject to existence. Consciousness has being though, since It comes about through the action of Will, from out of one’s Purest Essence, Transcendence. Consciousness is not subject to time, or anything else for that matter. God is what man can come to know to be Consciousness.

I often refer to God as Self, in order to remind the reader that when I talk in terms of God, I am actually referring to Self. Its just that man cannot see Self and simply calls the consciousness within him – that is him – after which he yearns, God. So I often refer to Self or God simply as Self/God – putting Self first. Self/God refers to Pure Consciousness, potentially expressing Itself as all things; and that Consciousness can, in its totality, be found as any one thing - no matter what it is.
