LET'S CONSIDER THE TERM "SIMULTANEITY"... AND THE UNKNOWN...

About two decades ago I Intuited the terms "Neutral," "Spiritual," and "Energy".  I thought at the time these were three separate terms. and I could not figure out what they meant?   But eventually I realized (Intuitively), that these three terms collectively defined a special kind of Energy.  That is, "Neutral Spiritual Energy," which I have come to believe is the Primordial Energy of Existence, or what we refer to as God.  And being aspects of God, we Souls are also a part of the same Energy as that of God.  That is, "Neutral Spiritual Energy," which I reduced to a symbol:  "NSgy".

Strangely, whomever wrote [or more properly interpreted]  the first book of Moses, or Genesis, refers in Chapter 1, verse 2, to the following:

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.

And in verse 3:  And God said, Let there be light: and there was Light.

 What if... the interpretation by the interpreter of the actions of God... was as close as Man can come to putting words to the Energy of God... Whose Energy is not capable of being translated into any language?  But the Energy of God is simultaneously operating behind, or as an influence of, that which can be observed or articulated by the brain of Man.  Not the origin of [which is Invisible), but the manifested forms that Man can see.

So, I am saying that indeed God did Create the Creation, and God was indeed involved in everything that the Bible details... except the essence of the Energy of God is Invisible to Man, and thus... Man must find or create words with which to try and explain the "SIMULTANEITY"  of God causing NSgy to manifest in various elements in the Physical Universe.

So, when the Mystic says that the Creation is an "illusion," we now know what the Mystic is referring to!   The Creation was "created". So, it exists as long as God wants it to exist.

"Let there be light: and there was Light." As an example.

One's own Soul is another example.  Each of us has a Soul, and yet who do you know that has seen his own Soul?  I believe the reason we  cannot find the Soul is that it exists "simultaneously" with the physical body, but the Energy of the Soul exists in an entirely separate dimension of Energy... and thus,  one's Soul, whose Energy is NSgy, exists in a relationship that is one of simultaneity with one's physical body.  My attempt at a sketch of this I have shown several times:

The only part of this simultaneous collection of different energy realms we can "see" is #1, the physical realm in which the brain and our physical senses reside.

In which case, the words of the Bible are as close as Man can come to articulating Spiritual phenomena, but the words of the Bible are unable to "capture" the essence of what God did in Creating the Creation?  Or how Mystics tell us that God is "Within" us.  Indeed God is "Within" us, but God is also in a dimension that is one of simultaneity with our physical existence.  God can see us, but we cannot see God... as long as our "Attention" aspect of our Soul is "attached" to the Illusion of this Creation, which means the Physical Dimension.

So, clearly... in order for one's Soul to enter into a dimension that will take it Home... One's Soul must work to release itself from the Illusion  of the physical body that is presented to it daily.  To do this, there is a special form of meditation.  But this is another story... and very few people are anxious to leave the Illusion.

What is TRUTH?

Truth is, of course a word. 
But does the word truth provide us with what the word stands for?

And my answer is no, the word truth is simply an abstract term that stands for an absolute that cannot exist in the Creation, since the Creation is an Illusion that appears real to our physical senses.

The term Truth is like the term God, or Reality.  They all stand for something that cannot be found "in" the Creation.  Although all three do exist.  But they exist in an energy dimension whose  vibration is invisible to all things physical. 

I believe this Energy is what I refer to as Neutral Spiritual Energy, or NSgy for short.  And what do  you know that is neutral?

WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT BEING A HUMAN BEING OVER 40 YEARS AS A GESTALT PSYCHOTHERAPIST...

 Let us begin with the basic structure of how we operate.

We have a physical brain...

Which is located in one's skull:  And the brain has two hemispheres. One is left-hemisphere [L-H], and the other is the right-hemisphere, or [R-H].

Your brain and your skull are part of one's physical body:  Which is part of the physical Creation... [as opposed to other parts of existence that are not physical], but are Invisible to us...which is important to realize. And to emphasize this point I did this sketch:

Which illustrates the Whole Human Being, or WHB. However, #1 is the only part of oneself that one's brain can experience!  This means that three of the four dimensions of Man are INVISIBLE to one's brain and one's thinking.

And, being invisible does not mean these invisible parts of oneself are not important; nor does it mean they are not continually active "Within" oneself!  For instance, #3 of the sketch feeds Delusional Thinking [or "D-Think"] to the Left-Hemisphere of your brain, and your brain is unable to distinguish between your regular thinking and D-Think!

And this means that if your I-MIND [Invisible MIND] wants you to think something is true, then your I-MIND feeds D-Think to the Left-Hemisphere of your brain, and you believe what you think.

How does one counter this automatic situation?  Only by "learning," over time, how embarrassing it is to think something is true, only to have  what one thinks be proven wrong.  Each such "lesson" is "taken to heart" so to speak... if the emotional pain [of which we are aware only if our "Attention" is located in the Right-Hemisphere of our brain] takes place.  Otherwise the emotional pain is repressed from our conscious 'awareness.  Although it does occur, even if we are not aware of it.

As long as one's Attention [a faculty of one's Soul] is fixed in the [L-H] of the brain, one cannot be aware of one's emotional energy, which is the energy of one's I-MIND.  This is the reason those people who seem to be missing their emotion are missing their emotion. That is, they spend a great deal of time locked into the L-H of the brain.

In my own case, I spent from age 3 to 43 unaware of my emotions because at age 3, I ordered my I-MIND to keep me unaware of my emotions... due to an intense traumatic event that took place when I was 3 years of age.  This realization was re-experienced by me during a Gestalt Psychotherapy session when I was 43, facilitated by an excellent Gestalt Psychotherapist.  This means that from age 3 to 43, I was cut off from my own emotions.  Sadly, this is not that unusual.

And my point is... the I-MIND "Within" ["Within" means that one is not aware of whatever the term "Within" is referring to], and although it is taking place...  whatever "it" is, is invisible to us.  And one's I-MIND normally operates "Within" us and we are quite unaware of it taking place... until we "think" certain thoughts. And who do you know who questions where his/her thoughts come from? At least successfully does so?

The operation of one's I-MIND is supervised by the Law of Karma, which is the primary Law of Creation, and the Law of Karma was designed by God, and it applies to every living thing in Creation. And the operation of this Law is an absolute, and thus... all we see of it are the results of it's operations which manifest in our experiences on this physical plane.  The definition of the Law of Karma should tell us what we need to know about this Law:  "As you sow, so shall you reap".

And no Soul [regardless what physical form it is in, in this lifetime, is  exempt from this Law.  So this means that everything that occurs to one in this lifetime... is what one did in some previous lifetime.  And this is true, regardless whether one wants to believe it, or not?

So, every thought or action you take becomes a part of what your I-MIND holds "Within" itself.  And it is the Law of Karma that determines what happens to us in each lifetime we live... and yes, this flies in the face of what most people think in the West.  So, can we really trust our thinking?  Does one have an alternative?  Yes, one does, but to exercise that alternative, one must deal with a great deal of repressed material hidden "Within" one's I-MIND... and virtually everyone is most reluctant to do this!  Because it is scary to look "Within" the unknown hidden "Within" oneself... plus, what is locked "Within" one's I-MIND is not meant to be known... until it is.

A well-trained, and naturally Intuitive individual can be trained to facilitate another person in the discovery of deeply repressed material from "Within" him or herself if... it is time for that material to become known to that person?  Otherwise, repressed phenomena remains repressed, and it is what one's I-MIND uses to insure that one adheres to one's "Fate Karma" for this lifetime!  It is simply the way Life works.

Now, we can finally address how people operate on a day to day basis.

The reason a wise person forgives others is that the wise person realizes that others are just as locked into being who they must be in this lifetime as oneself is... but then, not everyone is as forgiving as he or she might be... because in the West, we are not encouraged to seek the Truth. Because in the West, we are taught to distrust our Intuition, and to instead trust our thinking... which means trust what one's I-MIND feeds one as Delusional Thinking.  And  D-Think is [at best] relatively true.  Truth does exist, but only "Within" one's own faculty of Intuition.

And one's faculty of Intuition is confined to Truth, which means limited to Knowledge, which is only obtained as a result of Completing bits of Karma. And this needs some explanation... that may be difficult for some people to accept or embrace?  The Reality of Life is difficult for some to accept because it initially seems contrary to the teachings of Christianity.  But if one can accept the fact that "teachings" are produced by people... then we can forgive people for being people... since three-quarters of each person is invisible to that person.

The Soul of Man, and God, are (I believe) composed of a special kind of Energy I refer to as "Neutral Spiritual Energy," or "NSgy" as a symbol. And NSgy is only visible to one's Soul, or to one's faculty of Intuition [when one's faculty of Intuition is located "Within" one's Spiritual Dimension].  This is the reason the Soul is invisible to Man.  It is also the reason God cannot directly manifest to Man.  The physical Man simply cannot experience the super-subtle Energy of NSgy.  Only one's faculty of Intuition can perceive NSgy, and ONLY when one's faculty of Intuition is located in the Purely Spiritual Dimension itself.

Again... four separate dimensions, each with its own range of vibrations, and three of these are INVISIBLE to Man.  So, the faculty of Intuition seems to be quite important.  Strange then that Intuition is so actively avoided in our American education?   At opposite poles are the brain and one's faculty of Intuition.  One can think about life, or one can experience it via one's faculty of Intuition... if... one is Enlightened enough to do so?

The term Consciousness refers to the level of awakened Spirituality that a person's Soul has acquired [by Completing Karma over many, many lifetimes]!  But with Christianity insisting that Man only has one life to live... it is difficult for most people to accept that the Soul is immortal, and that we Souls have as many lifetimes as we require to reach a point where we begin to be open to the Reality of Life.

So, where is each Soul on the ladder of life?  And how does one even begin to imagine such a thing when we are told that we only have one life to live?  In the West, we have a huge intellectual barrier to break through in order to imagine the existence of a Truth so different than what we have been encouraged to believe.

I highly recommend the following book:

The Path of the Masters, by Julian Johnson.   And this book is available in many libraries.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU WHEN YOU DIE?

 Or if you are like most people... death is not  something you think about?  Besides... it has its own rules by which it operates.

Well, let me share with you some good news... and perhaps not so good news? Your Soul is immortal.  That means it does not die, ever.  Now that's likely good news.  However, what one's Soul can incarnate into in its next birth... is part of the not so good news!

Were you aware that every living thing in the entire Creation has a Soul, exactly like your Soul?  Or that the only difference between Souls is one of evolution,  or  the amount of Consciousness a Soul has acquired? Or that every Soul is composed of "NSgy"? 

*The energy of Existence, or God, is NSgy, or Neutral Spiritual Energy. And the energy of NSgy can only be known by one's Soul, when one's Soul is located in the region of NSgy, or in the Pure Spiritual Realm. And the Pure Spiritual Realm is unique in that ONLY Pure NSgy can exist in the Spiritual Realm.

The fact is... every living thing in the entire Creation has a Soul.  And every Soul is composed of the exact same substance [which is "NSgy"*], which has the exact same attributes, and has the exact same Purpose in Life as you do.  And that Purpose is to acquire knowledge of the Creation because the energy of Creation is a duality composed of two equal dimensions [they are called Yin and Yang],  and the Whole of Creation operates under the LAW of Karma, which was designed by God.  And the Creation is also composed of a number of dimensions, only one of which we can perceive by use of our physical senses.

#1 is the only part of Man that we can perceive by use of our physical senses. and #2,3 and 4 are all invisible to us.

And... none of the above are you required to understand, and a lack of understanding means that one remains in the cycle of birth and death until one awakens to what I have shared with the reader... who is fee to believe all this... or not?

And if you comprehend what I have shared, then you know as much about life as the great  Saints and Mystics can share with we human beings.  They try and explain all of this... and some of them do one additional [and crucial thing], which is to "Initiate" a Soul [which means provide a Spiritual ticket back Home to God]!  It only took me 50 years to discover this.  Now, isn't this an interesting thing to know?

Peace, 1 Brother James

And the above is the reason no Man, nor Woman has ever found God by use of  the brain or one's physical senses. Everything physical is part of the Illusion.

REGARDING THE TERM "MYSTICISM"...

mysticism

mĭs′tĭ-sĭz″əm

noun

1. Belief in direct experience of transcendent reality or God, especially by means of contemplation and asceticism instead of rational thought.
2. Such experience had by an individual. (as opposed to a door knob?)
   
3. Belief in the existence of realities beyond perceptual or intellectual apprehension that are directly accessible by subjective experience.

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

 

 What this definition is speaking of is the faculty of "Intuition," but without mentioning it.

When I read a dictionary definition, the left-hemisphere of my brain tends to feel like a clogged sinus... all stuffed up.  It is as though the writer is trying to avoid lending credence to those elements of Man that the brain can neither control nor perceive. The esoteric parts of Man.

 

Mysticism is the practice of using one's faculty of Intuition to receive bits of Knowledge provided by and stored "Within" one's Conscious Awareness.  The faculty of Man capable of this is one's "Intuition"... which is an aspect of one's Soul.

 

I use the phrase "Conscious Awareness" as another name for what philosophy refers to as the "Self".  For me, Conscious Awareness, or "C-Awar," is a part of one's Consciousness where bits of Truth are stored by one's Soul  as one's Soul slowly accumulates such bits of Truth by Completing Karma.  And when one is "ready" to awaken to a bit of Knowledge [Truth], one's faculty of Intuition picks up that bit of Truth stored in one's C-Awar (assuming one's faculty of Intuition is active), then one suddenly KNOWS something one did not Know previously... and one now views life a bit differently than prior to awakening to this bit of Intuition.  Another name for this process is "Enlightenment".

In the East, Enlightenment is neither denied, nor seen as peculiar, but is encouraged by almost everyone... since people are educated to the fact that Spiritual Enlightenment is a desired goal for every human being to pursue.  Therefore, the principles of Mysticism are not only well known, but children are encouraged to become members of religious sects.  But then, people in the East tend to believe in reincarnation and in God... by whatever name they call God, or means used to seek God.

The difference between East and West is, in actuality, a difference between how people view life?  The people in the East tend to view life as an Illusion, and Spirituality as Reality;  While in the West, people tend to view the Illusion as reality, and Spirituality as an Illusion.

How an individual views life depends upon the level of Consciousness a person's Soul has acquired?  And in the East, the study of Spirituality is called Mysticism.  And one of the best books regarding Mysticism or Spirituality is The Path of the Masters, by Julian Johnson: Available in most libraries. 

Christianity, for the most part, rests upon the words contained in the Bible, and specifically upon various interpretations of the words used in the Bible.  The problem with doing this is that we do not know the level of Enlightenment possessed by those doing the interpretation?

 

 Unfortunately,  Truth cannot be conveyed in words.  If it could be, then anyone reading the word TRUTH... would become enlightened upon reading the term TRUTH.  The word truth is an abstract word.  That is, the word truth is composed of letters forming the word truth... that we agree "stands for"  whatever TRUTH is.   But to actually experience a bit of Truth, one can only do so via one's faculty of Intuition... which must visit one's Conscious Awareness [an aspect of one's Soul] and by use of one's faculty of Intuition, awaken to the Energy of Truth.  But having done this, that person is unable to convey what he or she has just awakened to from "Within" him or herself.

The best one can do is to "hint" at some bit of Truth by using words that, if another is in possession of that particular bit of Truth, then the "hint" words can be used to awaken that bit of Truth from "Within" that person.  But, only if that person already possesses that bit of Truth. 

No teacher, in other words, can convey bits of Truth to students.  If a teacher actually possesses  a bit of Truth, then those students who already possess that bit of Truth "Within" themselves will resonate to what that teacher is saying by using the  "hint" words the teacher is using to try and convey that bit of Truth.

Mysticism is the same as Truth.  No one can experience what the Mystic is talking about unless... that person has already awakened to a particular bit of Truth from "Within" him or herself.  Spiritual Truth cannot be "taught" in other words.  It can only be "caught" by those "Within" whom certain bits of Truth already exist. Awakening that which already exists "Within" people is what the Mystic is about.  Such Truth that is active "Within" the Mystic can subtly stimulate a bit of Truth that a person is "ready" to awaken to from "Within" him or herself.  But that bit of Truth must already be "Within" a person, and that bit of Truth must also be "ready" to be awakened to!

So, Mysticism is not a matter of teaching... it is rather a matter of awakening that which is already "Within" a person.  Therefore, many people heard Christ speak.  But few of those people awakened to the Mystical bits of Truth hidden "Within" (or behind) the words that Christ spoke.  "Many are called, but few are chosen" is another way of saying what I am talking about.

So, Mysticism is like a sign one can see, but what the sign stands for is not discernible by one's intellect.

A NEW BIT OF TRUTH REGARDING THE I-MIND...

 While reading "Spiritual Gems" this morning, a book written by Maharaj Sawan Singh, published in 1965, I was apparently ready to awaken to a new bit of Truth from "Within" myself.

The "whole" of how a person's MIND works, or operates, is a most difficult thing to explain.  And it is difficult because there are so many levels or dimensions in which it operates [most of which are quite invisible to one's ordinary awareness].  Therefore, it simply takes a very long time for anyone to comprehend [or put cognitive words to] these subtle operations taking place at normally invisible levels.  Which is the reason I refer to the MIND as the I-MIND, with the "I" referring to the fact that the MIND and its operations are invisible to us.

I quote the passage that triggered a bit of awareness "Within" me this morning:  

Man and the world are so constituted that there is always one thing or the other cropping up and demanding our attention.  Such things should be attended to,, but one should find time daily for the spiritual work. It should not be ignored.  If full time cannot be given, give as much as you can. Even five minutes would do. The spiritual work alone goes with us o our credit after death.  All other will be left behind.  The day that is gone will not come back again.  So with love and faith and perseverance, go ahead.

Where does "one thing or the other" come from?  These seemingly random thoughts are fed to one's brain by one's I-MIND.  I refer to such thoughts as "Delusional Thinking," or "D-Think".   And quite often one's I-MIND feeds a thought to one's brain that is entirely specious, or a thought that is entirely false.  And surprisingly... the only justification for the thought is based on some fear [hidden "Within" one's MIND], or a desire of one's I-MIND to cause one to experience confusion and conflict. The I-MIND strangely seems to enjoy causing a person pain.

Does this seem implausible to you?  I know it seems too bizarre to be true, but the Reality of Life is quite often very strange.  And the author of this book also said this:  "It is characteristic of the mind that it does not take the blame on itself but throws it on someone else and, if need be, on the Master, as well."  By "Master" the author is speaking of a person's Spiritual Master, or teacher.

The point of this blog is to try and explain a part of the I-MIND that most people do not know.  Including some subtle aspects of the I-MIND and how it works... that were stimulated "Within" me this morning by what I read.  The fact is, the I-MIND [although it is entirely invisible to us] is a major contributor to what one thinks, believes, and how one relates to life [both what we know of life, and what we do not know of life].

My primary career in this life has been that of a Gestalt Psychotherapist. As a consequence of this, and my own need to study the Esoteric elements in life,  I have closely studied the operations of the I-MIND, and how it plays a major role in the operations of the Law of Karma. But that is not what this blog is about.  The author of the book I was reading said this:  "Under all circumstances, the fight against the mind should be continued. Mind is our enemy. It tries to throw us off by all sorts of things, on one pretense or another."

But... most people correctly ask... how does one fight something that is invisible to oneself?

And the only reasonable answer is...one can only attempt to do so.

Let us take a short trip into the I-MIND... despite the fact it is invisible.

One's I-MIND is not tangible, physical, nor even a part of one's physical body.  And yet it exists and it is attached to one's Soul, which is also quite invisible to oneself. One's I-MIND stores everything one experiences.  The good things and the bad things... and especially the bad things.  How come?  Bad involves punishment and requires the I-MIND to develop creative ways to punish us within the confines of the Law of Karma.  Returning good is boring... in comparison.

At the very core of Reality, we find this:  Every bit of Karma one's Soul can force the I-MIND to take responsibility for, and to forgive all involved in that bit of Karma... is converted back into Spiritual Energy that the Soul loaned the I-MIND to create the action in the first place.

This means that a good deed is simply returned to oneself as a bit of good.  But the return of some negative action involves the I-MIND and the I-MIND seeks to involve one's Soul in some negative action while preventing one's Soul from Acceptance or Forgiveness... by preventing one from realizing that the present negative action is simply some past action being "returned" to oneself.  That is, a past negative action taken by one's I-MIND at some time in the past.  This part of the Karma is withheld by one's I-MIND.  Not very helpful to one's Soul, is it?

In this way, one's I-MIND keeps adding negative actions, and responses to one's store of Karma.  The net result is... in each life we live, we create more negative Karma than we can convert in that lifetime.  And what is responsible for this?  Why, it's one's I-MIND.  Why would one's I-MIND do this?

What keeps every Soul trapped in the Illusion of Life is... the Karmic debt one's Soul owes.  And the I-MIND is responsible for preventing one from "seeing" that each bit of Karma one faces, is simply the Yin and Yang of the Law of Karma... which one's I-MIND prevents one from realizing that every bit of Yang Karma [the action part] is... being returned to oneself as Yin Karma  [the reaction part].

The net result is... our pile of Karma continues to increase... as we are encouraged by our I-MIND to resist our Karmic debts, and to blame others for what is taking place.

Each of us can accept the above, or deny it, along with the Law of Karma.  My role is simply to try and point out the fact that this is taking place.

Peace, 1 Brother James

 

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MEDITATION ? I mean really...

The answer to the question of "the purpose of" meditation may seem a bit strange for people in the West, but let's see if we can't make sense of the reason Meditation is so greatly valued in the East.

We begin with this [seemingly] simple question?  What is the Purpose of Meditation?  And the answer is... to withdraw one's "Attention" out of the physical body, and to re-focus it at the entrance to one's Astral body [you were aware that you have an Astral body, right]?

If you were not aware, don't feel bad, hardly anyone in the West knows this... because in the West, we don't deal with that which the brain is unable to perceive [which means we don't bother with the three-quarters of one's Whole... which are invisible to the brain].  Remember the sketch...

I use this sketch quite often because it depicts the whole of oneself.  That is, it shows the three-quarters of Man that are invisible to the brain: #2, 3, and 4.  We can see #1, and the brain "thinks" this is all there is to Man.  But we are much more!

Man, the Whole of Man, consists of four separate dimensions, only one of which is physical, that one's brain and physical senses can see. This means that three-quarters of the Whole of oneself are Invisible!

And Invisible means composed of energies that exist beyond the range of one's physical senses, including one's brain.  In the above sketch this is illustrated as #4, the Soul and Spiritual Realm or dimension.

Located in the area of the forehead, between the two eyes... but not  being there physically... is the access "door" that we are told to "Knock" upon, and it shall be opened to us from "inside".  Well, "knock" refers to Meditation.  Meditation is simply knocking at an invisible doorway, that doesn't exist physically... so how does one find it?

Fortunately, that doorway operates automatically, and that gets into a discussion that goes beyond the point of this blog.  This blog is simply to say that the purpose of meditation is to knock upon a Spiritual doorway... which is invisible, and located in one's forehead.  And the question is "why do this"?

Well, Man is composed of several dimensions, other than the obvious physical one.  Each of us is built exactly the same, and the only difference between each of us is the level and nature of ones Consciousness?  And another phrase for Consciousness is Spiritual Knowledge.  And Spiritual Knowledge is the result of Completing Karma... and Karma is a process of action, and the return of that exact same action.  The symbol for Karma is this:

And this is the symbol for Yin and Yang.  Yang is the male out-going action, and Yin is that same action being taken against oneself.  The duality of life in the Creation, in other words.  Sadly, in the West, we ignore Karma, and we tend to "THINK" of events as "accidents" or the fault of someone other than ourselves.  And by doing this, we just keep loading more and more Karmic obligations upon ourselves.  I often use this symbol as a reminder:

Each lifetime means more Karma.  Until one learns how to begin to reduce the load of Karma by the use of Meditation.

 Meditation is literally a means by which a person can seek forgiveness for one's actions... if one is engaged in the "proper" kind of meditation? And "proper" simply means a special kind of meditation whose purpose is expressly to dissociate oneself from one's store of Karma, held "Within" one's I-MIND.

And... to suggest that Meditation is capable of accomplishing this is, of course, suggesting that Meditation is a great deal more than what most people "think" it is.  And this discussion is...of necessity, moving us into a dialogue of the invisible dimensions of Man, and the most peculiar nature of discovering how one can "forgive" oneself? ...which is well beyond the purpose of this blog.  How about a blog about self-forgiveness?  Now that would be a challenge!
