Life Matters, E.C.Nemeth [robert munsch read aloud .TXT] 📗

the ego mind, the terms concept and context are interchangeable. That is why we have used the term psuedo-context. To the ego mind the only true context is death and annihilation.
Concepts are subjective, context is objective. For example, the concept of an atom is the thought or symbol of its existence, it is subjective. The context of the atom’s existence is its observable presence in reality, that is objective. This interplay of concept and context is a subtle ploy of the ego mind to confuse and mislead. Any idea can be conceived of as both subjective and objective. However, to be truly objective would require an intimate knowledge of the object - it would be necessary to become the object or the thought. From our current position, that is impossible. So, there is no context, only psuedo-contexts, which are but inflated concepts. True context is singular; there is only one context.
God is All There Is because we think we are All There Is Not. We think we are All There Is Not because the ego mind is our mistaken identity. The thinking of the ego mind is exactly opposite to reality; it is the reflection of reality. Therefore we think we are nothing to God’s everything. That’s very small. It is very frightening. And its outcome is inevitable. We will eventually be swept aside by God’s superior Will. Continuing this line of reasoning: Our only recourse, in a futile effort to thwart God’s Will, is to murder ourselves. That is why the ego mind has such reverence for death. It is the only pathetic way the ego could devise to at least wrest a sort of draw out of the outcome. Neither side wins, but the best news is that God doesn’t win. And so in a perverse way the ego wins.
Is this not patently insane?
The progression of density
We cannot grasp the true meaning of reality with the ego as our interpreter. Creation is unlimited and so is reality. It will conform to whatever we believe; reality supports beliefs. Creative energy is of the Spirit. Creation is reality. Reality is faith expressed. Faith is based on beliefs. What is believed is what is perceived.
In some circles it is said that man slowly became denser and denser as false-perceptions accumulated and as they lead man further from the lightness of Truth. Not so.
Mankind is part of Spirit, of universal mind. The moment man considered the concept of two as contextual man seemed to become solid, physical. From that point on man has been on a journey back toward light. Science has perceived this truth as the states of matter.
The Chart illustrates this movement toward lightness by each successive line of reality. The most diffuse reality is the top line of Spirit. The second line represents the densest reality. It is the realm of the solid, of earth. The third line begins the journey back to truth. It is the realm of liquid, of water. The next line represents the realm of gas, of air. Then comes plasma, fire. And finally there is the ether, the void. From there it is only a small step back to Spirit. The final step back to Spirit cannot be taken alone. That is God’s role. God meets us in the void, the place of our surrender to the unknown. Only once the individual recognizes its inherent ignorance and gives up authority over reality can God step in and lead the way home to Truth. Once judgments are suspended a space opens up for Truth and the memory of God immediately takes its rightful place in the mind of the individual.
At no point does the individual stop being conscious. Identity is inviolate. God does not supplant the will of the individual. It is the individual who must initiate the union by aligning its will with that of God’s Will. Only then can the self merge with the greater Self, the Identity of identities. And even in the very moment of blissful contact the identity of the individual remains intact. That is the solemn vow of our Creator and also the greatest of mysteries. For it is at that moment that we each come to recognize that we are God, and we see the marvelous splendor of all creation at a single glance. Yet, still, we will be ourselves, united.
The deep dark secret
Notice the sharp contrast between the single arrow and the six horizontal arrows of The Chart, now that the idea of the states of matter has been explored. The will of God is singular and sure, it’s goal inevitable - like the arrow piercing through the creation sequence. The states of matter represent certain ranges of focus that lead to successive levels of truth. Each state of matter has its own particular affinity to truth and each employs unique focus but all lead to further comprehension. The six arrows represent the scattered and segmented reality we believe in. They are not , in many cases, even compatible. Instead, they seem to be contradictory.
In The Chart, the range of focus, the level or frequency currently tuned into, is listed under the heading of: Line Of. There are the Lines Of: Being, Doing, Truth, Karma, Faith, and Concept. The lines of existence underscore an interesting convolution to the perception of reality. Experience seems to encompass a range of possible realities, each with its own focus and interpretation. But since experience spans the entire range it often jumbles the lines of logic which only apply in the context of existence as seen from one particular focus. If our limited logic is to be used for edification, to understand the truth, it must be employed consistently. There are no levels to truth; there are many levels of logic. One line of existence might be focused on unity, on life and awareness while another line is intently experiencing plurality, quantum and inside. The logic that leads to unity does not also lead to plurality. They are separate lines of reasoning and they cannot be universally applied. This is the root of the expression, "We must have got our signals crossed." When logic jumps from one focus to another it is no longer logical. In such a state the inevitable result must be confusion and misunderstanding - the perfect recipe for fear, aggression and violence. For this reason the use of logic must be carefully monitored to ensure it does not begin a premise on one level only to cross over into other areas of experience to draw conclusions based on the original premise.
This line of perusal has remained virtually unexplored in modern thinking. It is very important because it goes hand in hand with the idea that perception creates reality. If what we understand is confusing and contradictory then that is what we will see. Reality does seem confusing and, if not outright contradictory, then capricious at best. Nature, perceived in this light, has no conscience. It shows no mercy.
Understand, this is not an attack upon the ignorance of people. It is a shedding of light where no light has been before. We have been caught in a web of half-truths and outright deceits for far too long. It is time to behave with a bit of integrity. We must suck it up and bear it - in order to bare our hearts and souls, and finally heal. It is not the truth that hurts but the resistance to the truth. To mature as a species we must help each other to look at the truth we have been afraid to look at alone.
We have been afraid to look at certain areas of our experience and so we termed these unspoken beliefs our deep dark secrets. We each have our own version of the deep dark secret. It could be about our weight, money, status, past, or many other things. Whatever it is, we refuse to look at it because of the dark loathsome secret lurking there. But the dark was self-created by our refusal to look there in the first place.
What is, is - what isn’t never was.
The fear, anxiety, shame and pain associated with the deep dark secret is like a scarecrow in a field of golden corn. It keeps out most of the birds just passing through on the way to somewhere else but the local avian population know to pay the figure of the man no mind. The pain and uneasiness is the signpost to healing. By frequently looking at the hurt, the fear, the pain it becomes less intense and more easily faced. It looks scary but once it is faced head-on it is seen to lead to a better understanding of the self.
And good news! The deep dark secret is always wrong in its conclusion about the self. It might compile a ponderous list of evidence to support it’s stance and it might even seem convincing. Nevertheless, and despite all contrary evidence, the conclusions drawn based on the deep dark secret are never true. The deep dark secret hides with great vigor the fact that its conclusions are just camouflage for its true secret, the secret of secrets. The deep dark secret is the final strategy of the ego mind to keep its true secret hidden forever. That secret is the remembrance of the truth about You.
The intended
Creation is like a sudden scene change in a motion picture. It takes a moment to register the different setting, before the first scene fades from our awareness. This moment of between scenes, so to speak, where neither scene holds prominence over the other, is our true identity. We are like sponges for experience, and we immerse our selves almost completely in the drama of the moment. We have an insatiable appetite for new and more self-involving experiences. Ever onward, the journey continues. Evermore we progress toward the remembrance of Self. It is inevitable, for God is not to be mocked. And who would do the mocking, anyway?
Everything in existence is constantly recreated anew because creation continues every moment of every day. What is created is up to us to decide, but that creation will happen is not. Creation will continue to happen because that is the will of God. If the identity of the individual is inviolate, which is another way of saying the self continues forever, then creation must continue forever as well. Why? Because the self recreates itself anew every moment of existence. And because the Self of all selves is immortal. The Self is the Created One that spawns its creations and they spawn theirs and so forth to infinity, every moment of every day.
Logic based on consistency leads to clarity. Our purpose is to comprehend the truth. These two sentences, although outwardly dissimilar, are exactly equivalent in meaning. Logic reveals a reluctance to know. Logic is a discipline, a focus, a system of belief. Logic is the awareness of the camouflage disguising reality as we now perceive it. True logic is Divine Desire.
We are living examples of God’s intention yet we also add our own intentions to the mix. But these have been anticipated by God from the outset. And God’s intentions are totally inclusive. Nothing has been missed or overlooked. All are accounted for, all are needed. All are essential. All are loved. All are Love.
All are God.
All just is.
To the uninitiated the passing moments continue in a remorseless fashion to an inevitable end. Yet there is no death. Those in the know utilize this understanding to transcend the obvious and live the truth. Their common trait is innocent curiosity and a sense of perfect peace, of safety. No other labels suit them or apply because the descriptions would be coming from a place of duality, of confusion. The fearful are not curious and are certainly not feeling safe. To
