The Challenge

Responses to this message
were that it represents a challenge
for realization of fierce grace..
perhaps it is not..
the experience of grace is the
recognition that all is grace
with nothing outside or other..
it is a recognition of what we are
as unlimited grace..and those
discomforts in the political realm
are limited yet are a temporary
configuration of ourselves
and of course..made of grace..
this recognition may come in
a flash
without effort and challenge...

Depression

Depression

is a serious veiling of our true nature
and a sensitive subject when portrayed 
within a metaphoric perspective..
truth reveals that depression simply is
the inability to see that we are not 
the one we believe we are..we believe our
story..more..we are our story and our
story blankets any new identification..
we can only hope that there is a glimpse
of a blue patch midst the cloud cover 
which when approached reveals the
immensity of who we are..and disperses 
the temporary cloud of depression...

What is Contact?

What is Contact?

we tend to believe what we have always believed
that contacts in life require the dual objects of 
the one experiencing the contact together with that 
which is contacted..but with careful attention we find
that all that is known of that which is contacted is
a thought or perception..and these are simply the
experience of the one experiencing..and going further
the one experiencing is also a thought which rises
in the unlimitedAwareness we are..so..I hasten to say: 
that contact is a temporary appearance within and
made of Awareness..this is all we know..
or can know...

Ego beware

Ego beware

ego is self we believe we are

and this self wishes for a long life

a life of happiness and recognition..

threats to the ego are encountered warily

and with stealth and flex..

the most serious threat comes with a

denial of existence..a red alert..!

it is then that the ego can assume the form

of that which threatens..

ego as small self expands to Large

and claims to a knowing of the unity of all

and for a moment wins us over to

a concept placed on a pedestal..

ego beware...!

"Transcending the ego, gaining an objective view of the "ego-making machine" is self-realization. Getting caught in it ceases.
Liberation is when the reality-constructing machine is exposed. Concepts are seen as they arise and do not influence action. Action that arises in "one" who is liberated is traditionally called non-action.
Then one might ask how can any movement be initiated? Here, the nondual approach is recognizing pure consciousness as the wisdom of that which works only as a unit. The unit comprises all that we know and the unknowable. Any interference of mind modules/thought mechanisms is not the liberated state but a returning to a state of hypnosis."

Books and the inner guru

Books and the inner guru

there is for some an attachment to books
which is not recognized..as attachment..
reading can become a master
whose mastery over our waking hours
encroaches on the clarity we seek..
it seems that at some juncture we must
declare a pause to what can become
endless seeking..by directing attention 
within..to the guru lying and waiting and 
prepared to provide the clarity with joy 
which has been sought..endlessly.. 
in books...
~~CC

"There will be a day when there is a realization that books just don’t do it for you any more. Keep reading and soaking up all that you are drawn to take within until that happens. Feel into the instructions you come across, and follow what has a rightness, an appropriateness, for you. Whatever brings more clarity—use it. Whatever feels dry and barren, drop it. Otherwise we are just following concepts of the "right thing" to do, and that’s a path that goes nowhere! There is a difference to what feels like the "right thing for you" and the "right thing." This is discernment and cultivation of the inner guru."

Inherence

Inherence

From the dictionary 

comes a meaning of 

permanent or essential..

Inherence 

then stands for 

that within which

all relational activities 

take place..

The world is 

the imagined body

containing the relations

 formed and residing

in temporary fashion..

Imagination presents its

connecting stories

but forgets the

origin and substance 
and the permanence 

of what is named here as 

Inherence...

in·her·ent·ly

/inˈhirəntlē,inˈherəntlē/

adverb

1. in a permanent, essential, or characteristic way.

   
   

   "the work is inherently dangerous"

Religions in Afterlife

QUESTION: RELIGIONS IN THE AFTERLIFE Will those who practice a religion remain in their religion for all eternity? For example, will Christians remain Christians forever?

Victor: Highly credible information from afterlife teachers tells us that in the early stages after arriving in the afterlife, people do continue to practice their own particular religion. There are beautifully constructed mosques, temples, cathedrals etc. But as spirits go to the higher realms, they completely drop ALL religious beliefs. They accept that there is one God and one religion, the religion of love. from:  http://victorzammit.com/December28th2018/


Religions

contain the stories and creeds
and building of temples and cathedrals
which in their best teaching role
point to That which contains all
thought and perception..seeming
to compose this objective life..

in a more idolatrous role
religions demand belief in these
many constructions of 
thought and perception..
however..these also are made
of That which contains..and
provide only temporary 
expression and color..which
fade with knowing of Truth..

awakening in "this life" involves
discovery of the perennial truth
of the only-Reality of Consciousness..
so why not imagine the same
in what is referred as Afterlife...?
