Freedom is At The Beginning

We must move through unpleasant experiences with grace and detachment, if we can. If we cannot, then those experiences will keep coming back into our consciousness to be fully experienced. When they return, we call them 'memories', and if they are unpleasant, it is because they need acknowledgement--like the moth to the flame. The 'flame' is our awareness, but it has to be truly neutral and if it is not, then the memory will keep coming back with the resultant pain or displeasure not resolved. When resolved the memories still remain, as this is the function of thought--to give us a sense of identity in time and space--but the emotional charge is gone or it does not bite as it did before. There can be a sense of 'space' or 'room' or 'air' between awareness and the memory of the physical, emotional, energetic organism. This is the freedom. J. Krishnamurti spoke many times that prime intention was to 'Free Mankind'. This is the freedom he was speaking of. Inner Freedom. From there, all things are possible. From there, it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor; if you sweep floors to pay the bills or are a white collar professional with three degrees, for you have this thing going on that is priceless and free, all at the same time...and you were born with it...it is called awareness and this awareness can be sleeping or awake and that is entirely up to you and how serious you are to Find Out the Truth. That Truth can only be perceived by you inside of yourself; no one else can give it to you and This is its priceless beauty.

Where we get caught, is in the lack of realization that the 'One' who 'Is Observing' is part and parcel, completely, wholly the same energy we are watching. Ask yourself, "when I watch myself...."--Jesus said, "know thyself"; he did not say, "listen to what Joe, down the street says", "listen to what the Rabbi says" or "listen to what the Pope says". He said, "know thyself", First Person discovery!! The beautiful thing about revelations and spiritual development is that it is an Entirely Personal Process wherein you can Discover FOR YOURSELF what is real and what is false FOR YOU. He asks, "When you 'watch', 'observe' yourself are you GATHERING?? MODIFYING? ETC?. If you are, then the One that is Watching is Part of The Machinery (thoughts, sensations, reactions, feelings, energy, judgements, hypotheses) being watched. You can only realize this in the moment and then it is gone. Thought has no place in Discovery. Discovery is Of The Moment Only. Once we 'remember' the 'discovery', the 'learning', the 'realization' it is already dead for it is then in the field of memory or time: the 'trail' that thought energy leaves as it moves.

This is why 'time' and 'practice' are immaterial....because Revelations Are Only In The Moment for the Sage as well as the Novice. The practice is like a reference point for consciousness. If we are With What Is, we will not know it, because the moment there is Re-Cog-Nition the actual experience has already taken place. 

This if freedom when you realize it.

"Freedom is at The Beginning, Not at The End" -J. Krishnamurti

The Interrelating Factors of Reality

There must be a sense of freedom in regards to yourself and what you can or cannot do. Just sticking to a behavior because that is what you are 'supposed' to do will not work. There must be reason, not 'a reason', but the intellectual process of understanding and meaning and also of the heart, relating to it or the blocking of the energy will consume you. 

Yes, we are easily influenced by forces that we are only beginning to conceive of and yet, life is still simple as it is and has been for 1000s and 1000s of years. It is in all actuality super simple and super complicated all at the same time and therein lies our salvation. We are only common people and we may find that keeping up with the incessant hum of activity and information in all the different parts of our culture and society as time literally speeds up to a point where people's minds are freezing up and disconnecting---almost like a glitch in the program--is quite simply t o o  m u c h!!

Relax friends, I am here to tell you that 'The All That Is' has you covered. It makes me think of 'The Mandelbrot Set'. You know the one...It is an image of the mathematical equation that shows that even within Complete Chaos that order WILL emerge Without Being Sought. In other words, natural order is embedded within the energy of a complete breakdown and chaotic reality in such a way that it will self assemble. This is the energetic structure of Our Universe. This is beautiful because it means that the dynamics of the Universe still function the same way for the janitor as it does for the CEO. That's called Universal Leveling. Beautiful.

Divinity Exists Within Consciousness If We Know How To Look

We were fooled and we agreed to be fooled in order to figure it all out. The God that we think of is not the gods that created us. There is the Divine Spark within all life, but the ‘ones’ we call ‘God’ are not the master geneticists that made us; they had the ability to make us, endowed with that Intelligence from Prime Creator, All That Is.


Our consciousness is like a hall of mirrors; it is a puzzle. Some get really tired of the game and just function on the surface level of the five senses, while pursuing pleasure and trying to avoid pain and that is fine. In fact, many of us get tired of the elusive nature of it all and alternate between having the drive to dig deeper and then cooling our jets and focusing on the satiating of our desires. Within our coding, the gods gave us some of their Sentient DNA. I don’t know that they started out planning to do that, but through trial and error--they had their own agenda in what they were doing (creating the ‘Lulu’ and all that: see Zechariah Sitchin’s ‘The 12th Planet’)--but,  that is what they finally did and it gave us a Key.


There are elements in the above-the-clouds power structure that would like to disable the lock that the Key fits into the lock, but they cannot really because it is part of their karma. They are trying to make it harder for us to ‘find’ the lock, but they cannot totally disable the unlocking of our Divinity. They can and are trying to slow us down, propagandize us and confuse us in every way possible to look in the wrong places, i.e. outside of ourselves to ‘those in authority’ whether it be in the mainstream media or through the words of the Pope or any of our many religious leaders or those in Politics. They are striving to misinform and disinform us so that we will not figure out that we each already have the lock and the key that fits that lock within us wherever we are, just as we are, with nothing lacking. 


The sense of lack, the sense of incompleteness is one of their methods of misinformation; it is a trick. We already have everything that we need within us. Our ‘bag’ is already ‘packed’ and it has been for millenia. We are the solution to our own riddle.


Go Inside. Be still. The Answer is Within You. The Universe is Within You. You Are Never Alone. You Are All One.


The answer is within the problem, not escaping from it. The answer is closer than the Breath which is why we miss it. We are looking through it and missing it. It is In The Ever Present Moment of the Moving of Energy that is The Now: which is your Mind, your Thought, your Feeling, your Energy as it moves. The freedom from pain is in seeing that the pain IS YOU, Directly, not ideationally or theoretically, but Actually. Trying to escape from it, is what creates the confusion, the duality, the chicanery, the psychosis, the conflict, that is so prolific. It is a psychosis that is standard and is socially acceptable, but it breeds our continual pain, misery and confusion; we are locked in it.


We have been endowed with the ability to have self-awareness. This is a Key that we have been given. Freedom lies in the ability to be aware of ourselves, but the true awareness that will free us is not the awareness in which there is an ‘observer’ that is different from the ‘observed’. This is where we get lost. We function as if there is an ‘observer’ that is separate from the ‘observed’, thought has told us this and functions as though this were the case, but it is not. We live our lives from the standpoint and perception that we are not our pain, our anguish, our sorrow, but in actuality We Are. We Are That. But in our reticence to accept the truth, we suffer. It is only the machinery of thought that is telling us this and it is this basic supposition that this is ‘the truth’ that our world, that our whole functioning is based upon that is the cause for this suffering. This is the main element in how we are fooled to believe in a lie rather than to perceive the Truth. We are so afraid that our fear incentivises us to avoid coming face to face with it, which only increases it’s strength and perceived monstrosity. This is the dangerous work of thought. However, it is not to stop thought; you cannot do that. It is to be aware of it, in every aspect, as it moves, without trying to regulate, suppress it or control it in any way. Without affirming or denying or sublimating or corralling or pushing or pulling on it in any way, but just to watch it without any judgment whatsoever. Can you do it? You will see that it is like an onion with many layers. You will see that the Universe is in there if you give your Mind and your Heart to this investigation and a whole new world will open for you. You are part of something so incredible and so vast that no words will do it justice and we are All connected to this energy, to this beauty, but it is up to each one of us to tap into this font of beauty and truth. 


What you will see is that The Observer IS the Observed. If we see that Directly and that is the only way that it can be perceived--Directly--then in that there is Freedom. Theoretics will not do it. Book knowledge (the machinery of thought) will not do it. Another’s words will not do it. Another’s words can ‘point’ and that is it. It can only be perceived Directly and in that direct perception, Conflict ceases. There is no fight when there is no conflict. When there is no conflict, Oneness Is.


Be Still and Know The I AM.

--Old Testament, Christian Bible


Know Thyself

--Jesus of Nazareth

Freedom From Conflict

If there's conflict in your awareness of yourself then you are out of the awareness and into the drama of the taking of sides within your thoughtforms. This is a subtle difference and changes the whole dynamic. Then you are in the struggle and are wasting energy through the illusory struggle of thoughtforms: one over the other. There is freedom when we are not trying to 'change' What we see. You can feel it because you are trying to change what you see. You do not 'like' what you see and therefore you struggle against it. This is not awareness. We 'want' this and we 'do not want' that. Just to observe is enough. You are that. It is your 'baby', whether it is beautiful or ugly. You are looking with care and interest; you are looking in a way that It is telling you all about itself: the nature and temperature and characteristics of what it is made of. When you look in this way without any outcome desired, free from all expectation, the energy changes, but not if you are expecting it to change or wanting it to change.

Real freedom is seeing what is without any attempt to change it, for the desire to change it is part of the same machinery that is being observed. There is no accumulation of knowledge in this state. The one that accumulates is also part of the same machinery. Seeing this is integral. It is a living state of constant learning; there is no resting place. 

Watch your conflict without trying to resolve it and you will see it go through a metamorphosis without any effort. To realize that you are that, as a fact, changes the nature of the observation from something that you are trying to act upon to something that you are--that cannot be 'acted upon', for it is 'you'. This is to realize that the observer is the observed. When that happens in the moment, then there is nothing to act upon; there is nothing to do for you realize that you are that and a natural transformation takes place without any effort, but it cannot be 'hoped for', 'wanted' or 'desired' because in that state you are back in the machinery of conflict.

To watch 'hopes' and 'dreams' within yourself without any movement of thought away from them; judging them, chastising them, praising them, pushing on them or pulling on them, but just to observe them exactly as they are is to start to understand yourself and in that neutral, free observation is the beginning of understanding.

Awareness is All

All you have is awareness. Everything else is suppositional, conceptual, thought-created overlays. Awareness of the movement of thought, of energy, inside and outside yourself. One unitary movement, totally related, acting on itself inside and out: stimuli, interpretation, response over and over again in omnidirectional movement.

Even our thoughts of God, or what you will, are only thought-created concepts and interpretations of first person 'experiences'. Those 'experiences' really don't have a name, but thought gives them one for the sake of communication between beings and for the sake of replaying the event in our mind and that 'sharing' of those moments are 'shells' or 'symbols' that point to the actual happening, which is already 'dead': of the past. IF you can 'think of' or 'about' it, then it is already dead. Thought cannot grab reality. If thought can conceptualize it, then it is gone. There is beauty in that. There is nothing there to be sad for. Thought wants to be sad about it, but that is pointless because it is beautiful. No man or woman or being can own the ever-living, ever-moving, omnipresent, omnidirectional present moment. What thought creates is a reality, of sorts, but it is a dead reality.

The only living moment is that which cannot be captured. If it can be captured by thought, then it is of the past, which is all ashes of a fire which never rests and has already travelled through: the ever present moment. No one can lay claim to or own this and it is open to all of consciousness who would 'look'. It is the body that dies; awareness...never.
