Being yourself

If you are constantly surrounded by other people and their non-stop talk, how can you even hear yourself? 

There is too much commotion to find yourself. Thus, you go through life living through other people’s perceptions and visions. Listening to the talk show host on the radio or television narrows your perspective into their view of life. Reading the daily newspaper first thing in the morning sets your day along their perceived views. It tends to bring about a dark cloud of separatism and negative programming. 

Why not take some time and find out what your view of life is, instead of incorporating other peoples’ perceptions? Why not be original and true to yourself for a change? Why not take time to think your own thoughts? Maybe you have something more important to say. You will never know if you don’t give it a chance.

Challenge yourself to think through your perceptions of life. Where did they come from? Were they developed early in your life by your parents? Teachers? Ministers? Priests? Superiors? Are they appropriate for you now, or are you just comfortable with them because you have become them? It is too easy to slide through life not questioning, just getting by, staying the same no matter what

Like Begets Like

As you may know, consciousness influences reality by affecting the probability of events. It does so at the quantum level. Based on my observation and experimentation, the basic principles are as follows:

1) Awareness / anticipation repels.

2) Ignorance / denial allows.

3) Intent / emotional resonance attracts.

Here I want to focus on the third one, the attraction mode, and explain it in the simplest and clearest way. It boils down to one rule:

LIKE BEGETS LIKE.

In other words, the mental and emotional state that you hold in the present, attracts future events that engender more of the same.

What is the mechanism behind this? I believe that emotions can travel through time. A strong emotional pattern in the present resonates with the same emotional pattern in some probable future. When both match, a feedback loop arises between present and future that causes this future to be energized and amplified, enhancing its ability to merge into the present.

(Keep in mind that everything I’m talking about here deals only with the synchronistic and probabilistic side of life — that which is still up in the air, open to change. There is also the causal and deterministic side which includes all the physical effects of physical causes that, no matter how much you try bend probability, cannot be overridden or undone. If you total your car, and then try to hold a feeling of relief, don’t expect the accident to magically reverse itself, because what’s done is done, what’s fated is fated; at best, you may nonetheless attract an easy and speedy legal, financial, and physical recovery from the accident. Whatever probable future you attract is one that incorporates your already existing present and past. New Agers go very wrong when they try to ignore currently existing problems and think that by shutting it from their minds it will disappear from their reality. Not so, the Law doesn’t work that way. You can shape the future, but you can’t really change the past).

Now, here are some examples of how like begets like.

Anticipation begets anticipation: If you anticipate something, you will attract a situation where you’re still anticipating it, meaning a situation where it hasn’t happened yet.

Paranoia begets paranoia: The more emotionally paranoid you become concerning aliens, matrix agents, demons, ghosts, surveillance, black helicopters, gang stalking, etc… the more you attract experiences that amplify your paranoia. The manifestations of these phenomena will keep increasing in overtness and severity until you either snap out of it or your mind snaps. Along the same lines, mindsets of victimhood begets victimhood, fear begets fear, terror begets terror.

Gratitude begets gratitude: If you practice an attitude of gratitude, thinking of all the things you are grateful for and really living in that feeling, then events will arise that give you even more reasons to be thankful. Thus, an emotional pattern of gratitude is one way positive synchronicities can increase.

Annoyance begets annoyance: If something causes you a moment of annoyance or irritation, and if you let yourself run away with those emotions, then you increase the chances of yet another thing happening that causes annoyance. Unless you turn yourself around, this can snowball until your whole day goes to hell.

Worry begets worry: If you are needlessly worried, more events will arise that give you something to worry about. This can be worry over money, health, security, and so on. By “needlessly” I mean worries over problems that don’t yet exist and are still weak probabilities, especially those you can’t do anything about right now — worries that are more the products of neuroticism than concerns over actually existing problems that require immediate attention.

Relief begets relief: If you are worried about an uncertain outcome beyond your control, then adopting an attitude of relief enhances its chances of having a good outcome.

Amazement begets amazement: This is a fun one. If you adopt an attitude of awe, wonder, and amazement, telling yourself that life is profoundly jaw-dropping, then just watch freak events transpire that really leave you awe struck in a good way. Wait a few days, sometimes reality takes a while to catch on.

As you can see, the simple principle LIKE BEGETS LIKE explains much. You can substitute your own words into this equation, like ‘weird’ or ‘synchronicity’ or ‘hate’ or ‘love’ or ‘desperation’ and find real life examples.

Mainly it shows that a mere prolonged mental/emotional pattern is enough to attract corresponding experiences. There is no real need for complex visualizations, incantations, affirmations, and ritual formulas just to experience this phenomenon.

Thus it’s possible for a spiritually radiant, humble, and discerning human being to acquire the protection and blessings of synchronicity just by virtue of his or her default harmonious mental and emotional pattern. In channeling-speak, it means that an STO candidate or STO being still makes use of this reality-bending principle, but without needing to always specify what to intend; it happens naturally through outer synchronizing with balanced inner.

Visualizations and Specific Intentions

Of course, it’s possible to go beyond mere emotional resonance and resort to visualization and intent to single out a specific thing for synchronistic manifestation. It still works on the same principle of resonance and feedback loop between present and future, because you are required to produce within yourself the same senses and feelings right now, that you would experience upon the fulfillment of that goal. Like in the Bible where Jesus heals a guy by thanking God for healing him, as though it were already done, and therefore it was.

So when the reality creation pundits say to visualize your goal fulfilled in the greatest detail, incorporating all five senses, and really feeling it emotionally, ultimately they’re just getting you to establish, in the present, the probable future pattern of your choice. Present locks with future, feedback loop mutually amplifies, and future becomes present.

It’s just that specific visualizations are risky. They easily become acts of black magic if the goal is chosen out of ignorance and the emotional pattern originates with ego and base desires.

Intending for a very specific thing is fine if you work within the framework of necessity and destiny, like if you have no choice but to select the details of the inevitable. Otherwise you will manifest something prematurely, inappropriately, regrettably, and perhaps even disastrously. Most cases, attempting the latter will simply fail and nothing happens; higher forces intercede and block your foolish act; but if you push hard enough, often enough, you will get and regret your wish. Black magic uses rituals to push past these natural safety barriers and attain that which pleases the ego but kills the soul.

Optimal State of Consciousness

This “mind affecting reality” can all be done through intermittent sessions of emotional broadcasting, or by having it become the default constant “climate” of your consciousness. The latter is better of course, since ten minutes of resonating with relief and gratitude may get overridden by the following sixteen hours of stress and worry.

Ultimately this research note is not about “doing something specific to get something specific” like most Reality Creation texts, but about being aware of how your outer reality is partially (not completely, since reality is shared) reflective of your own inner landscape, and how therefore it’s necessary to practice emotional hygiene to keep your slice of reality in good synchronistic order.

Now, if you do attempt a session, the best time to do so is while in the state between waking and sleeping, when your consciousness is not fully dreaming, yet also not fully back in waking life. Like after waking in the morning, with eyes closed, dipping in and out of sleep. A light sleep state, in or near the hypnagogic state of consciousness. Alpha and theta brainwave state. Controlled daydreaming while being unaware of one’s physical surroundings. Completely lost in the thought, completely and effortlessly absorbed in it. You and the thought or feeling are not divided, not observer and observed, but lost as one.

This is the state when the barriers between your conscious and subconscious are weakened, when your etheric body is somewhat decoupled from your physical body, when you as the ‘quantum observer’ are not fully collapsing the reality wave function — therefore, the state where reality is particularly pliable. The subconscious, the quantum ocean, the etheric — these realms are where the magic happens, where reality is shuffled, where the potter of existence does his work.

Among numerous other applications, this is the best state of mind for prayer, meditation, intention, affirmation, visualization, or just holding a particular thought or emotion.

Curves?

There was a movie on HBO recently called "Real Women Have Curves". This title, of course, begs the question: what kind of curves? Are we talking hairpin curves or something more like a French arch? Point of note to the HBO folks: you know those thin women who walk down the catwalk at fashion shows? They're not a bunch of f~cking robots. They're "real women". When someone says "real women have curves", what they really mean is "real women have hanging, disgusting, flaps of flab and asses large enough to smother a medium-sized population of jackals". Sure, some real women are fat. There are also some real women who don't run for a bowl of Fritos as their sole means of exercise the minute a commercial for Bally's health clubs comes on the T.V. In other words, some women understand that stationary bicycles have a purpose, even though you can't coast down a hill to the Cheesecake Factory on them. I guess what I'm saying is that instead of "real women have curves", maybe one ought to say "some women are big fatsoes and some aren't, and that includes women who don't necessary have contracts with Maybelline". Jesus Christ, there's such a big push in this country to justify fatness. I don't know about you, but to me, hearing a phrase like "real women have curves" is a sh~tload more annoying than seeing some half-naked anorexic chick on the cover of Cosmo. These anti-responsibility fat-justifiers want you to think that there's no such thing as a non-model who's actually in shape. Gimme a proverbial f~cking break. There's plenty of them. You may not have noticed them because your fellow members of Overeaters Anonymous are obscuring your view of the window. Sure, the existence of "curves" is preferable to a stick figure with breasts. Not many people will disagree with that. But do we have to initiate an all-out assault on naturally thin and/or flat-chested women just so the women with the extra curves don't have to embarrass themselves by making an appearance at the Weight Watchers meeting? I might even tolerate a phrase like "some women are allowed to blame their genetics for the radius of their thighs and don't have the money for the liposuction". Fair enough. But if you're gonna make that point, be honest and add an addendum that "at least some of the women with the big-boned great grandmothers aren't letting the rest of their bodies go to hell just because they know some Hollywood liberal is waiting to film a public service announcement to excuse their goddamn laziness." Maybe the moral of this story is: Don't f~cking bullsh~t me. Some women are fat, and some aren't. Quit the goddamn elevation of ugliness to a virtue.

I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contain'd, I stand and look at them long and long. They do not sweat and whine about their condition, They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things, Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago, Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth. - Walt Whitman

I laugh

I exist as I am, that is enough, If no other in the world be aware I sit content, And if each and all be aware I sit content. One world is aware and by far the largest to me, and that is myself, And whether I come to my own to-day or in ten thousand or ten million years, I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness I can wait. My foothold is tenon'd and mortis'd in granite, I laugh at what you call dissolution, And I know the amplitude of time. -Walt Whitman

what are you?

Who or what is aware of a feeling or any other object? Thoughts come and go. Where are you in the equation? If you are looking for yourself objectively, you are overlooking the point that the answer is not in the mind. Go back to the basic point: What are you? Yes, thoughts arise. But what are you? Obviously, you are not an object. But that does not deny your presence. You are still there to know or not know the objects. - John Wheeler

Me

So what IS reality? Reality is - what IS. Whatever IS, whatever is happening, the rain, the trees, etc. Only we know it as rain and trees and body and thoughts and "ME" and "YOU" through the prism of perception. Reality IS - that's it. So whatever you're "seeing", that's it. You're looking directly at pure and total reality, right now, already, without any effort, without any search, without any "enlightenment". Only there is a belief that you're seeing reality as it is and that there is a separate "seer". Reality includes the seer, the seeing and the seen. Reality is all of it. We can only say it's broken up by using the mechanism of this perception, this mind, this limited perspective. So see if any of it stands up to this realization that we can never actually know reality directly - we can only know that we ARE IT, that whatever it is, we can't know it directly, we can only BE it, but not as some individual "ME" character, which is just the prism. You are reality - all of it - appearing as "separate things", individuals, trees, rain, cats, children, nonduality books, the idea of enlightenment, the suffering, literally all of it, anything that can arise. You're it. You're not a separate person, a "ME" - you're reality, looking at itself through the limited and identified perspective called "ME". You are not a "human" - you are reality or God or Self or Oneness, looking at itself through the filter called the human perspective.

the universe "peoples"

We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.

Religions

"Religions are divisive and quarrelsome. They are a form of one-upmanship because they depend upon separating the "saved" from the "damned," the true believers from the heretics, the in-group from the out-group. Even religious liberals play the game of "we're-moretolerant-than-you." Furthermore, as systems of doctrine, symbolism, and behavior, religions harden into institutions that must command loyalty, be defended and kept "pure," and - because all belief is fervent hope, and thus a cover-up for doubt and uncertainty - religions must make converts. The more people who agree with us, the less nagging insecurity about our position. In the end one is committed to being a Christian or a Buddhist come what may in the form of new knowledge. New and indigestible ideas have to be wangled into the religious tradition, however inconsistent with its original doctrines, so that the believer can still take his stand and assert, "I am first and foremost a follower of Christ/Mohammed/Buddha, or whomever." Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, open-ness - an act of trust in the unknown."
