Most are lulled to sleep -rjs
I’ve been so severely smitten by the power and love of God that I want everyone to know some hard, cold facts. While the Truth of God is true across the board, precious few will ever real-ize (make real) it. People have been lulled to sleep by the notion that everything will be alright.
Not in this world!
In this world where you have trees and grass and animals and people … especially people!… you have discord, disease, death. The inevitable nature of people is to put off any serious undertaking until … in most cases … it’s too late. Every person that you see in your mind’s eye is capable of awakening but very few do in their present lifetime; then they have to come back and try again and again – maybe for thousands of years – when all they ever needed was to wake up. I don’t know how to say this more clearly: NO EFFORT IS REQUIRED TO BECOME WHAT YOU ALREADY ARE – THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS (THE SUBSTANCE, LIFE, BE-ING) OF OMNIPRESENT SPIRIT, GOD. BUT FOR MOST PEOPLE A GINORMOUS EFFORT IS NEEDED TO ACTUALLY WANT TO WAKE UP SUFFICIENTLY.
Use your vehicle to advance -rjs
THERE’S A PLETHORA OF LOVELY “HOW TO HAVE A BETTER DAY” APHORISMS OUT THERE.
But I don’t wish anyone a better day or even a better human life!
I wish we would all use our vehicles (our situations in life) to go deeper … much, much deeper … right straight to the heart of God.
When we (seemingly) have a need, our attention has been gotten! Now if we’d only do what we should’ve done in the first place – contact Spirit, God, within and as us – our little day and our little life will fade into perfect, eternal, blissful immortal life to be joyously shared with all whom we love.
See everyone as they really are -rjs
You CAN see everyone as they really are – individually and most distinctly – in Spirit.
It doesn’t come overnight, but with much awakening and practice.
The first step is a very strong yearning on your part to do just that!
They’re worth it coz they’re glorious!
No details of problem -rjs
WHY IS IT COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE TO MENTION ANY DETAILS OF PROBLEMS TO BE HEALED ?
The reason is very, very clear: starting with the answer (in the Realm/dimension of God) entails fully focusing on perfect God and perfect man who has never been anything but whole and complete.
Done with you, world mind -rjs
My apologies to the world mind
Who has been ever wakeful
Waiting to devour the slightest breakthrough,
I’m done with you coz the world don’t matter one iota
I’m free coz my sights are so much higher
It’s so beautiful here!
When I look out and when I look in
Its all the same now – East and West!
No longer asking for this improvement or that: all is perfect
Why, even my dreams are replete with healing, happiness, health, harmony, wholeness, hallelujah!

Awareness healing -rjs
INSTANT SELF – INQUIRY
▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎
Feeling out of sorts. What to do? What to do?
Q: Robin, are you aware?
rjs: Huh? Wha..? Yeah, sure.
Q: But are you aware that you’re aware?
rjs: Well, uh, uh, yes. Yes, I am.
Q: You could only know that as awareness itself: awareness itself is Spirit, God. Congrats, you’re back!

Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
I’m always interested in Aldous Huxley….
“The world is an illusion, but it is an illusion that we must take seriously, because it is as real as it goes, and in those aspects of reality which we are capable of apprehending. Our business is to wake up. We have to find ways in which to detect the whole of reality in the one illusory part which our self-centered consciousness permits us to see. We must not live thoughtlessly, taking our illusion for the complete reality, but at the same time we must not live too thoughtfully in the sense of trying to escape from the dream state. We must continually be on our watch for ways in which we may enlarge our consciousness. We must not attempt to live outside the world, which is given to us, but we must somehow learn how to transform it and transfigure it. Too much ‘wisdom’ is as bad as too little wisdom, and there must be no magic tricks. We must learn to come to reality without the enchanter’s wand and his book of the words. One must find a way of being in this world while not being in it. A way of living in time without being completely swallowed up by time.”
― Aldous Huxley
Precious few have gone beyond birth and death -RAdams
There have been those few people in the world who have gone beyond birth and death. There have been those people, very few, who know the secrets, the answers to life, to the mysteries of life. Yet they can do nothing for you until you can find out yourself who you really are, what you really are, what you’re all about.
For if you believe you were born you begin to accumulate knowledge, as soon as you’re born. You become aware of your environment, then you become aware of other people. Your parents feed you all kinds of knowledge and all this does is expand your ego. Your ego begins to live. It’s fattened up by thoughts, knowledge. Just like the body is fattened up by food. When you’re about four or five years old you go play out in the street with your friends, you acquire further knowledge. You go to your particular church or school, you acquire further knowledge. And the more you grow up the more knowledge you receive. And the ego expands and expands until you believe you know something. When you believe you know something the ego has taken over completely and you become an ego. So when some of us believe there must be an answer, or this is not the answer, there must be an answer to the riddle of life, we start to give ourselves further knowledge by reading books, searching out teachers, listening to lecturers and we receive further knowledge. It appears to help but it’s fooling you. The appearance is a lie.
You become intellectual, you’re able to debate, you acquire more knowledge at university, you study philosophy and soon you become a walking encyclopaedia. You’re now filled with knowledge, filled with relative knowledge, worldly knowledge. Has this done the world any good? Look at the precarious condition the world is in. Has all the knowledge of lawyers, politicians, doctors, indian chiefs done this world any good? Knowledge seems to be destroying this world not making it a better place in which to live. The great secret is we have to unlearn everything we’ve learnt if we wish to become free and liberated. No matter how many times I say this to you, you’re still acquiring more knowledge, some of you. Think of the books you read recently. The news you’ve watched on TV. The newspapers you read. Aren’t you acquiring more and more knowledge? What is this knowledge doing for you? Expanding your ego and your ego grows and grows and encompasses the whole world, the whole universe. You have complete knowledge of the universe, of the world in which you live and you think this is going to free you. Freedom comes when you’re empty, when you know nothing.

Various paths -rjs
VARIOUS PATHS and METHODS
You cannot force yourself to believe anything that doesn’t make sense. The entire task before us is to learn what we already know thoroughly enough that believing it becomes a moot point. When we know that we know that we know it’s absolutely true then we don’t need to worry about whether or not to believe it anymore and we can concentrate on processing and accepting it down deep within our soul.
There are various levels of spiritual apprehension. Some factors that ‘seem’ to weigh heavily are language proficiency, levels of openness, awareness, receptivity and a genuine desire to experience an entirely new way of Life.
ONE, ALL, ‘All-One’, ‘A-U-M’, I AM.
All Holy books and teaching declare that Spirit, God is Life: Lao-Tzu, Christ, Zen, Koran, Buddha, Talmud, etc.
The word “Christ” doesn’t have to be a problem to you at all. You may be coming from a place of pretty much hating the whole construct and I don’t blame you – that’s what religion has done to it. it’s organized religion as well as taking mysticism literally (physically) that is so hideously detrimental. You can substitute other words for Christ but you may start to miss out on the real intended message that cannot – I repeat cannot – be found in any – I repeat any – religion! You could think of CCC when you think of Christ: Corrected Christ Concept. Once you step out of the body-mind, there is no “into.” Step out equals awaken: it’s the same thing. And Christ = The Word, the universal begotten Son = all of us, since forever.
SATTORI (Jap) Zen. Also The Word. The whole secret. Enlightenment. When your human consciousness which wasn’t spiritually enlightened becomes illumined, that’s SATTORI. You always had it but now you are fully aware and free.
When you’ve been engrossed in many issues in the world as we all seem to need to be and you realize you haven’t been thinking in terms of The Word, Spirit, Christ, Soul, God, Self, then you do need to step out. Whether the image of ‘stepping out’ is helpful to you or not is entirely up to you. I belabored it for some time and then I realized that “step out” equals “awaken”! – it was just that instantaneous! But when I was swimming in the mesmerism and hypnotism of the world it seemed as though I needed to make a conscious and conscientious effort to step out of all the stuff that I was knee-deep in. The moment I just simply mentally stepped out, I became fully awake!
TO. BE. OR. NOT. TO. BE.
Make an effort? Just rest? Use the mind? Overcome the mind? How to heal? How not to try to heal?
Let’s not get caught up in an over- abundance of language and terminology. For example, some will argue that Soul is a very Important concept, saying that it’s much more than a concept: it’s a definition of God so it’s a definition of Us. I happen to agree with them as it’s very helpful for people who subscribe to it and are open to it. Others will argue that it is confusing because it admits of error, is of the body and the body’s mind. I’d simply chalk that off to low level Interpretation, in view of the fact that ‘Soul’ is an actual synonym of God and therefore all the attributes of Soul, which is Spirit, are your attributes and your abilities and your talents.
Taking the theme of various levels to its obvious conclusion we necessarily realize that we live between two worlds when we have an infinite world and a finite world. Guess what? We’re all living between two worlds, never quite aware that we literally have our eternal life right now!
But tell me this: what could be more happifying than to discover that you will never die? That you will live forever? In a brand new perfect spiritual body? Wow!!! Still think you lost or wasted many precious years of your life? Your ‘material’ life? Let’s imagine your eternal life is for 1,000,000 years and you lost 10-20-30 years of it. Can you do the math? It’s infinitesimal! Your life is eternal, but when will you awaken to that incredible truth?
