ABOUT THE SYMBOL "NSgy"...

.... is really important.
  

About a decade ago, while I was attempting to develop a  structure for a Psychology that dealt with the "Whole Human Being," or WHB... I was aimlessly doodling on a piece of paper when I suddenly wrote down three terms:  "Neutral, Spiritual, and Energy".  At that time, I had no idea what these terms meant?

But following a habit I have to symbolize or shorten things, I did this with these three terms... using the first letter of two of the terms, and the last two letters of the third term.  Neutral, Spiritual, and Energy... thus making the symbol "NSgy".  So, I created the symbol "NSgy," which stood for the three terms... which stood for?  I had no idea at the time?

A few months went by, during which I discovered what my new symbol meant, as it provided me with a solution to my problem with my new concept of Psychology. My "problem" was this:  How does a person maintain his or her "Attention" in the brain while simultaneously exploring the MIND, which is invisible to the brain? And the reason a person would want to do this?  It is the only way to reveal deeply repressed bits of trauma hidden deep "Within" one's MIND... that once discovered, a person can then eliminate that bit of trauma from "causing" an unwanted pattern of behavior... [ the behavior is actually the means by which that person's MIND "vents"  the negative energy being stimulated "within" that repressed bit of trauma].

  This "discovery process of a repressed bit of trauma" is a necessary part of effective Psychotherapy that helps a person eliminate unwanted negative behavior.  This is well-known by a competent Gestalt Psychotherapist, by the way.

 My symbol "NSgy" therefore stands for the primordial Energy of Existence, which we in the West call "God".  That is, "NSgy" is the Energy of God, and we Souls.  And "NSgy" is like nothing I knew about at the time.  That is, the concept that something could exist and yet be entirely Invisible to Man [and not even part of the Creation]... did not register with me as an actual possibility.   But I was not alone in my ignorance of NSgy!   Who would imagine that the entire Creation was Created by God using what the Bible refers to in Genesis 1:2 ... And the earth was without form, and void: and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.   In other words...God Created the Creation using that which Man refers to as "void," or "darkness," (which would seem to most people as "nothing"). This nothing is often spoken of as "Spirit".  It is Invisible, but it does exist.

So, when a Mystic says that the Spirit of God is "Within" Man, the Mystic is not being euphemistic, the Mystic is referring to something that Man  defines as "void" and "darkness".  Something that many religions refer to as "Spirit"... while not bothering to explain nor define the term "Spirit". 

Now you have a symbol for the term Spirit.  The symbol is NSgy, or Neutral Spiritual Energy, which is the Energy of God, and one's Soul.  And in Man, the one element in Man that can interact with NSgy is one's faculty of "Intuition," which is an aspect of one's Soul.  And should you have a 'sense' that God is speaking to you, what is likely "hearing" God is your faculty of Intuition.  But in the West, there is very little mention of the faculty of Intuition.  We are taught instead to rely on the brain, which is confined to the physical realm entirely.

I have been meditating for over 40 years, and little did I realize that my meditation is the single best way of developing one's faculty of Intuition!  I didn't realize this until recently, and I now have an added incentive to meditate.  ...another term for meditation is "worship"... perhaps you did not realize this?

WHAT IF WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS REAL... is mistaken?

 How many people in the West know what the Purpose of Life is?  Or that Life has a Purpose?  Or, that the Creation is a really exquisite kind of "finishing school" for Souls?  However ... precious few Souls realize what the Purpose of Life is, or that they are in school, and the principal of this school is a kind of Perfect Robot called the "Law of Karma"?  And of course this sounds like nonsense, right?

Nonetheless, what I am suggesting is what we are all experiencing.   And your MIND, which I refer to as an "I-MIND"... [and the "I" stands for Invisible] in the sense that your brain is incapable of discerning your I-MIND.   Oddly enough, despite how often the MIND is spoken of by people, your I-MIND isn't part of your physical body. And since it isn't part of your physical body, it easily eludes discovery by our physical senses.  Your I-MIND consists of two subtle energy forms, neither of which is physical. The next sketch illustrates the four elements which comprise the Whole Human Being, or WHB:

#1 is what we can see and think about.  #2 and #3 are the two elements of your MIND, and #4 is the Spiritual part of Man, which we call Soul.  #2, #3, and #4 are all Invisible to the physical part of oneself... which is the reason so few people have ever discovered #2,#3, and #4.  Oddly, those people who have discovered #2,#3, and #4 never seem to Reincarnate.  That is, they are not born again on the physical plane?  Where do they go?

So, #1 is quite a bit for us to deal with, and we are to be forgiven for not "knowing" the Whole of ourselves.  And the Mystics tell us that God indeed does forgive us, not because we don't know any better [which is true], but because God is Love, and the Reality of Love is that it  is an absolute... consisting of two important elements:  Acceptance and Forgiveness.  The attainment of these two elements, by the way... is what we Souls are in the Creation to "learn" [among other things, of course].

Therefore...it is great to believe that if one is "good," one will go to Heaven, and live in Heaven forever.  But wait a moment.. Heaven is not where God resides.  Heaven is merely in the Astral Region of Creation, and God resides in the Pure Spiritual Region, which is not part of the Creation.  Check out this sketch:

And please note that #4 is the same as the Primordial Energy of  Existence, which means it is not part of the Creation, which exists as a small part of Existence. Again the only part the brain can perceive is the physical part. This means #2, #3, and #4 are all invisible to #1.  And what we refer to as Heaven is in #2, and it is not a permanent residence.  Reincarnation is a term that means being born again.  Which we all do, except when a person "graduates" from the school none of us realize we are attending...  The Soul is immortal, and only our physical body dies.   And there is more to tell.

There appears to be two types of people in the world...

 TWO TYPES ?  1.  Those who desire to be wealthy so that they can "control people" by use of their wealth as a means to do so.   And the second type are  those people  who love God and thank God for whatever "gifts" he has bestowed upon them... the use of which enables them to help others.

In the "East" [as opposed to the "West"], there are a great many people who are raised to believe in God, and to believe that it is God who is in charge of everything Man can do and know.   In the West, people who live in the East are often thought of as uneducated,  backward, and not as "advanced" as people in the West.  And part of what causes people in the West to believe this is a term called "Ego".  The common characteristics of  Ego are pride, ignorance, and vanity (and vanity is a natural  result of a person whose only belief in God is "intellectual"),  that is, someone who "thinks" that there is a God because others have told this person that  God does exist, and that God has a Son, called Jesus.  So the intellectual in the West,  who is religious, "thinks" that the religion of Christianity is true... because so many people believe it is true.

What "proof" do they give for this belief?  Well, the shear fact that so many people believe in the religion of Christianity is certainly sufficient to demonstrate the validity of the religion, and thus they are convinced.  The problem of "proof"  still remains for those who are 'hard core' realists, however.  And they tend to be "fence sitters," or people who are no "sure" one way or the other? 

The great benefit of an intellectual belief in God is that a "belief" held "Within" one's brain is "relative".  That is, it can be strongly held, as long as it does not interfere in one's enjoyment of life?  If one's belief interferes with what one desires to do, then one's I-MIND can feed Delusional Thinking to the Left-Hemisphere of one's brain which causes one's brain  to "Think" that what one desires to do is an exception to what one intellectually believes to be true.  Rationalization and justification is a common way of life in the West, and it is based on the "malady of Intellectualism," which refers to the natural overriding of one's brain by one's I-MIND.

 So, the more intellectual a person is [quite commonly], the more that person is like a weather-vane.  That is, capable of shifting his or her beliefs depending upon which way the wind blows?  And being able to shift one's beliefs to accommodate what is beneficial to oneself is thought of as a good thing in the West.  This is, of course a subtle form of lying [at least to oneself]  but then... when no one actually Knows what the Truth is, who is going to call one on one's lies?

so, which type person are you?  One who refuses to alter one's Truths, because to do so is dishonest.  Or are you someone who chooses the truth that is popular at the moment?  It is quite difficult to live an honest life, unless one is "bright" enough to deftly sidestep direct answers that support dishonest statements.  But to do this one must Know the Truth... which is the basic problem, isn't it?

The Tragedy of... "Hope Springs Eternal"

 The idea of "Hope Springs Eternal" has a positive ring to it... however, it is unfortunately based on a flawed premise.  One can certainly "hope" for a better future, and many do so.  However...one's hope has precious little to do with what one hopes for!   The future of everyone is entirely based on what each one DOES... not on what one "hopes" for.   All of mankind is subject to the "duality" of life, which is captured quite nicely in the definition of the Law  of Karma:

"As you sow, so shall you reap"!   Which is the definition of the Law of Karma, which is the primary Law Of Creation, which was designed by God, and this Law is simply explained like this:  Whatever you say or do will come back to you at some point,  in some lifetime, and you will be on the receiving end of an exact reproduction of the exact same thing that you did to another person.   And the Law of Karma is an absolute Law that applies to every living thing in the Creation.  And there are no exceptions to this universal law.

So, if you include everything you do as part of what you hope the future will hold for yourself... you are spot on in what you wish for!  Somehow I doubt that this is what we human beings are wishing to happen when we express a hope that the future will be better than one's past!

We can "hope" for a better life, but the wise person will expect the future to be pretty much like one's past... since much of what we do in life is not kind, loving, caring, nor compassionate.  And the one thing we can count on for sure is that what we have done to others will certainly be done to us!  As you sow, so shall you reap.  And there are no exceptions to this, and this law can only  be "paid for" [or Completed]... by "Acceptance" of full responsibility for what happens to oneself in life, and "Forgiveness" of everyone involved in what happens to oneself in this lifetime.

The problem is... to "Complete" a bit of Karma is one of the most difficult things in life for us to do.  And the reason for this difficulty is that to "Complete" a bit of Karma one must [take responsibility for what is taking place, and one must Forgive the person or people involved is what seems to be either an accident, or clearly someone else's fault].  The Law of Karma is a most insidiously subtle operation that causes us to believe that we are always a victim.

But, until you take full responsibility for a bit of Karma, and Forgive entirely all people involved in that bit of Karma, the natural thing to do is to blame others for what is taking place.  And what this does is to send that bit of Karma around again, and in some future lifetime it will come back to oneself.  And guess what happens the next time?  So, Mystics tell us that in each lifetime we live, we create much more Karma than we can possibly "Complete" in that lifetime!

 The result is... we acquire more and more Karma.

QUESTION ?

 Until you have been a sexual deviant, how would you know what being a sexual deviant is like?   

The correct answer is... you can't possibly know what it is like to be a sexual deviant, until you have been a sexual deviant... even though you may have been one and not known it!   A second question is this... how many people know whether or not they are sexual deviants... since it is entirely possible to be a sexual deviant and not even know one is a "closet" deviant.  A "closet deviant" is someone who engages in sexual activities, but entirely alone, in fantasy, while using various objects as part of one's fantasies... so that no one even suspects he or she is a sexual deviant.

My final question is perhaps the more important question... and that question this:  What causes a person to be a sexual deviant... regardless what kind of sexual deviant one happens to be, or whether one recognizes one is a sexual deviant or not?  And this is what this little blog is about.  That is, what causes a person to be a sexual deviant in private, and risk being discovered at any time... and yet, one is "driven" to engage in one's private program of sexual deviancy?

And, by the way, human beings are not alone in sexual deviancy.  Have you ever seen a dog mount a person's leg, and attempt to engage in sexual conduct with that leg? This blog suggests that the matter of sexual deviancy is due to a mental illness, and this illness [the actual CAUSAL for the deviancy] is entirely non-conscious to oneself.

And this blog is not so much about the act of deviancy, but is more about the "reason" one engages in deviant sexuality?   The "reason" is to be found hidden "Within" one's MIND, or I-MIND -- and this means the reason behind one's being driven to engage in sexual deviancy is entirely repressed from that person's conscious awareness.  Unfortunately, today modern mental health  denies the MIND, or I-MIND,  and thus, this illness tends to be fairly wide-spread.   [I prefer the term "I-MIND"]... to remind us that the "cause" behind  this illness is entirely  Invisible to oneself... without proper help, which is very hard to find today.

Every instance of confused, obsessive, or deviant sexuality is due to deeply repressed "misperceptions" by one's I-MIND taken-on at the time of one's birth.  I use the term "misperception" to specifically refer to something one's I-MIND takes on as a part of one's personality.  This belief is mistaken, and it is a natural tendency of the I-MIND of every child to "take-on" beliefs about who and what the personality of a child is in this lifetime.  The principal source of these misperceptions  are the repressed misperceptions stored "Within" the I-MIND of one or both parents.  And let us stress the fact that these are "misperceptions" held "Within" the I-MIND of either parent... or solely part of the Fate Karma of the child "Within" whom these misperceptions are held!  The Law of Karma is the term for a process, designed by God, and whose job it is to insure that every Soul acquire Knowledge... naturally obtained by experiencing (and ultimately Completing) Karma:  As you sow, so shall you reap!

The phrase "Fate Karma" is the psychological programing every Soul brings into this lifetime as the blueprint for this lifetime.  This of course requires one to believe in both Reincarnation and the Law of Karma.  The Soul is immortal, and it shifts from one life-form to another, depending upon how it deals with the Fate Karma it comes into life to face and deal with.

And let us slip into our discussion at this point the fact that "LIFE" has a purpose, other than simply playing the role of various life-forms.  The Purpose of life is for a Soul to explore and experience the Creation, for as long as that Soul requires to reach a point of satiation.  And that is another story for another time.

My point in this blog is to simply inform readers that to engage in sexual deviancy is due to one or more deeply repressed "misperceptions" taken-on at the time of a child's birth.  And the exercise of one's deviancy is an attempt by the "Conscience" of one's Soul to address some "misperception" taken-on by the I-MIND as a child.

Sadly, the nature of a misperception has nothing necessarily to do with reality, but is based on a misperception of one's I-MIND.  And too, it also causes one to engage in behaviors that attempt to deal with a non-conscious psychological need... while concealing what one is doing at the same time.  Needless to say, this  creates a deep-seated sense of anxiety for the person who is caught-up in this activity.

The stuck place this creates is made worse by the ignorance of modern mental health and its denial of the I-MIND of Man, which results in a wide-spread fear of any sexual behavior that is unusual.

The only means of dealing with a misperception is to uncover the origin of one's misperception... which requires a special Gestalt process whereby one's Attention is facilitated in traveling from one's brain into one's I-MIIND, and there re-visiting the trauma of that misperception from "Within" one's I-IMIND.  Needless to say, there are not many Psychotherapists  who deal with actual Psychology of the I-MIND today.

A viable alternative would be to engage in a dialogue with God, by simply requesting help with dealing with the unwanted patterns of your I-MIND.  If you are brave enough to acknowledge being driven to engage in some pattern that you would prefer to not engage in...  then be humble enough to admit to yourself that you need help!  But one must be "sincere" in one's desire to change.

YOUR I-MIND AND THE "LAW OF KARMA"...

Talk about things that are too strange to believe... and you have your I-MIND and the primary law of Creation, designed by God, which is known in the East as the "Law of Karma".  In the West, there are people who believe that because the Law of Karma is not mentioned [as the Law of Karma] in the Bible, then there must not be a Law of Karma.  Such people are gravely mistaken, but then, they will eventually discover this for themselves.

The most surprising aspect of the Law of Karma that I have discovered over the last fifty years is that no one experiences any negative energy [negative action directed against oneself] that isn't "DUE" oneself... in response to  some negative action you took against another person in some past lifetime.  In other words, the Law states:  "As you sow, so shall you reap"!  So, first you engage in some negative action against another person, and only then will that same action be taken against yourself. 

The Law of Karma is a Perfect Law.  It is Perfect in that an action is taken against oneself only  in response to you having taken the exact same action against another person.... in some lifetime.  And yes, we Souls have numerous lifetimes, and not all of them as human beings, by the way.  If,  in some lifetime  you act more like an animal than a human being, then you may be born in your next lifetime as an animal, and such a birth is referred to as "Transmigration" of one's Soul.  That is, being born in a lower life-form in order to "satisfy" some animalistic characteristics that you obviously had not completed before being born as a human being.

Again, the Law of Karma is a Perfect Law.  And it was designed specifically so that each of us receives only what we deserve... because we have earned it!  If you are mean to one or more people in some lifetime, then expect to be mistreated in this or some other lifetime... in precise response to what you did to one or more people!

And too, if you are kind to people in a lifetime, expect that people will be kind to you in this lifetime.  Again, as we Sow, so shall we Reap!  It's the Law.  If for example you were generous in your last lifetime, expect that you will be treated generously in this  lifetime.   In all respects what we receive in this lifetime is what we have "earned" in one or more previous lifetimes.   What could be more FAIR than that?

Now, how does your I-MIND set you up for the receipt of your Fate Karma for this lifetime?  One's  I-MIND makes sure that one attends to the Fate Karma one came into this lifetime to experience.  And this is true for every single person.  It does this by feeding what I refer to as Delusional Thinking [or D-Think] to the Left-Hemisphere of your brain.  And your brain "thinks" it is the source of your thoughts, so of course your brain automatically engages in what your thoughts encourage you to do;  or act; or desire, etc. ... at the same time, someone with whom you have Karma will receive from his or her own I-MIND Delusional Thinking that makes sure that he or she is where the two of you will play-out the Karma the two of you are supposed to engage in.  And you will call it an "accident," or whatever term "fits"  the situation.  

And... regarding this event... if it is negative, and you are angered by what happens, and you are unable to "Forgive" the person [with whom you had the Karma], then that event is not cleared... but will come around again, and again... until you finally Forgive the person that bit of Karma.  This is a part of the Law of Karma.  And it is an important part of the Law.  And in the Bible, Christ mentioned it by telling people that they should "Forgive  others"!

Each of us has an invisible load of Karma that we are obligated to Completing! We carry this load from lifetime to lifetime... until it is removed by oneself Accepting responsibility for  the Karma, and by Forgiving entirely the person who is returning one's own Karma back to oneself!  Remember... your Soul is composed of NSgy, and every bit of Karma that one has not taken care of...  is a bit of one's own Spiritual Energy that is held by the Law of Karma and the Creation, until one finds  a way to force one's I-MIND to assume responsibility for causing the bit of Karma in the first place, and one's I-MIND must also Forgive the person returning one's own Karma.

What did Christ say about forgiveness?  In the Bible, Christ answered a person regarding the number of times a person should forgive another like this:  "Seven times seven".    There is no end of Forgiveness of another, in other words.

Your Soul is an aspect of the same Energy as that of God, which is NSgy.  And we Souls support the I-MIND that is attached to our Souls when it uses our Spiritual Energy to "Create" a bit of Karma for us to experience.  The problem is, your I-MIND enjoys you acting out the Karma it creates for you to experience.  So, your I-MIND has no actual reason for Completing a bit of Karma.  This then makes the role of your Soul Completing a bit of Karma even more difficult. 

I hope this explanation of how the Law of Karma operates and how we are involved  in the Karma, and how it must be Completed ...is somehow helpful for the reader.  That is, hopefully, the reason we need to Forgive, and Accept responsibility for the Karma is better understood.

A New Blog About a Most Important Topic... Your 'I-MIND' !

 

  There are a great many things in life that we human beings are not aware of... and yet, we could not function without these "things"!  The MIND of Man is one of these things.

And in this blog, we will refer to the MIND as 'I-MIND' because it is entirely Invisible to our physical senses.  So the "I" will remind us that to assume a person can use one's intellect to "learn" what the  'I-MIND' is,  or how it operates by use of one's brain... is a silly thing to attempt to do... although many [including the field of psychology] will continue to do this!  ...by cutting the brain into smaller and smaller pieces as it searches for an I-MIND that isn't there.

Let us not be shy, nor coy, nor naive about the 'I-MIND' of Man.  The 'I-MIND' that is assigned to your Soul has been with your Soul since your Soul first entered the Creation.  And take a moment or two to adjust to what I just wrote... because I just wrote that several things are True... even though they are ignored and denied in the West!  In the West we are taught to worship the brain and thinking.  This practice is called "Intellectualism," and it is a subtle form of mental illness.  And we will be discussing this quite a bit in subsequent blogs.

Man has not found the Soul within Man because the Soul is composed of an Energy that is entirely Invisible to all parts of Man... except for an otherwise Invisible bit of Energy  Known as the faculty of "Intuition".   And we will discuss "Intuition" in this blog.  It is fitting that this first blog about the 'I-MIND' be focused on one's faculty of Intuition because your faculty of Intuition is the most valuable faculty you possess!  It is also the only way to Know the unknown parts of yourself.

https://www.merriam-webster.com › dictionary › intuition

The meaning of intuition is a natural ability or power that makes it possible to know something without any proof or evidence : a feeling that guides a person to act a certain way without fully understanding why. See more meanings of intuition. 

 

 

Some years ago, I coined the term "ExperTuit" which combines the two terms experience and Intuition.  And specifically,  "ExperTuit" refers to the unique ability Man has to tap into [or perhaps more precisely] open oneself to awakening to bits of Truth via one's faculty of Intuition... in which one suddenly seems to KNOW something that one never knew before, and having awakened to this new bit of Truth, one's thoughts and beliefs are suddenly altered.  And strangely, one finds that one is unable to tell anyone what one has suddenly awakened to?

 

And the reason one is unable to tell another what one now KNOWS... is that what KNOWS is a new bit of Truth that neither one's brain (nor one's I-MIND) is aware of.  Because what one now KNOWS... is a new bit of Truth.  And what one experienced in obtaining this new bit of Truth requires what I refer to as ExperTuit... in which one's faculty of Intuition has just awakened to a bit of Truth that has been transferred to one's "Conscious Awareness"... which is another aspect of one's Soul that one's faculty of Intuition can access.  I refer to this special faculty of Man as one's Conscious Awareness, or "C-Awar," which might also be what we refer to as "Conscience," or what philosophy has searched for as the "Self"?

 

What makes me "think" that I Know what I am talking about?  I don't "think" what I Know, because the brain will never KNOW the bits of Truth that I am referring to.  I have Intuited what I Know just like others have Intuited what they Know.  One either Intuits a bit of Truth, or one does not possess that bit of Truth!  And the reason for this is simply that Truth does not exist on this physical plane of existence. So, if you ExperTuit a bit of Truth... what happens is that your "Attention" [an aspect of your Consciousness] subtly shifts out of your brain (where your Attention usually stays) and into your Consciousness (via your faculty of Intuition), and your Intuition is presented with a new bit of Truth!

 

And this is not uncommon for people who are Enlightened to some degree!  And "Enlightened" simply means that one's Soul has acquired a greater level of Consciousness that includes more bits of Truth than most people possess.  And we will also discuss this phenomenon, but not in this blog.

 

And, of course in speaking about a person who is Enlightened... I am speaking about a Soul that has acquired more bits of Truth.  And is this possible for a Soul  to do if one's Soul only has "one life to live"?  And the answer is no, of course not! 

 

Both the term Reincarnation and that of Transmigration are valid terms and each refers to "normal" aspects of Life... that are just denied in the West.  So to end this first blog, let me say that there are a great many terms we in the West have not been taught, nor properly introduced to.  Such as Reincarnation, Transmigration, and the Purpose of Life?
