It’s time to wake up and see the bigger picture

in #mindfullife5 years ago

The body in this human form of life is like a field and we are planting the seeds. The seeds are the karma or actions that we act out, based on what we attract according to our past deeds or our current state of consciousness. Life is about energy, about vibrating electromagnetic frequencies. We all radiate a certain frequency according to our make up. And we attract like a magnet according to that vibration.

And that material disposition or frequency is something we are born with, according to the body and family we received. We continue according to the vibration we learned or inherited from our parents or whoever was our primary carer during the first years of our life. It is subtly moulded as we grow older, but the foundation is set by seven years of age.

After that it is up to us to make a conscientious effort to improve our vibration or our frequency. Once we are adults, most of what happens to us- the people we attract, the relationships we experience, they are our responsibility, we attract them due to what we put out and what we are obliged to experience at our current vibration.

We cannot blame others alone, or play the victim. We are also responsible. And if we get caught up in the ego identification with this material body and the things that come with it, like name and fame, prestige, inherited skills, then it means that we have forgotten who we really are. Because we are in essence not the body in which we reside. We are not Indian or American, black or white, rich or poor, foolish or wise. We are eternal spirit soul, temporarily in a physical vehicle of the body/mind.

No intelligent person will think that s/he is the car in which they move around. But when you have an accident in the street, a crash, we jump out of the car and say “you hit me”. We instinctively identify with the vehicle. The driver is not the vehicle. In this regard there was once, in a bygone age, a wise soul who took birth in the body of a fool. He wandered around forgetful of the material needs, like good clothing, shelter or any of the normal social etiquette. One day the nobleman came by, being carried on a palanquin by his four bearers.

When they saw the fool, they decided that he was quite strong, so they corralled him into doing service as a carrier. But in his dis-identification with the body, he was seeing all life as sacred and therefore when he saw a column of ants at his feet, he did not have the heart to step on them. As a result he was dancing about to dodge them and of course jostling the nobleman seated on the palanquin that was being carried.

Immediately the high chair rider stopped his crew and asked what was going on. He admonished the fool and said to him, “you look stout and strong but you are incompetent and a fool.” The “avadhuta” replied, “my dear sir, you may be correct to say I am not strong because I am not this body in which I live. At the end of this life I will leave it behind and resume my original true nature. Can you dear nobleman let go of your status, wealth and prestige when the time comes, or will you be trapped by it, forced by desires to return and struggle in this material existence in yet another body?”

Similarly we journey through life, sometimes thinking we are of high status, or full of wealth or learning, and our ego identifies with those temporary externals. Society today trains us up like that, to identify with the ego and the externals. That’s how the masters of illusion, the elite powers that be (PTB) that want us dumbed down keep us trapped. They want fools who can be moulded into consumers, who forget that they are already complete as they are. They use consumer advertising to make us feel incomplete in our bodies, to want more, to fell the need to spend and thus push up their profits. We are the sheep corralled into the malls to fulfil an insatiable desire for more.

This only occurs due to lack of education, forgetfulness of our inherent wholeness as we are. The PTB are agents of illusion, of Maya, of degradation actually. And we need to awaken to the illusion that is being performed on this planet. Unless we give up false ego, we will never reclaim our real ego. Real ego exists, or real personality and identity beyond the external false ego based on body and mind. In Sanskrit real self is called “atma” or “jivatma” and false ego is called “ahankara”. Those who are still bewildered by false ego are like donkeys, chasing after the carrot on the stick of the cart driver, when there is so much green grass in the field beside the road down which they are driven.

So what is the difference between animal life and human life? Are we still living on the level of animals – eating sleeping, mating and defending, while forgetting to focus on the real business of this rare and valuable human form of life? Our real opportunity, now that we have human consciousness is to awaken remembrance of our eternal spiritual self, of “jivatma” or soul, in relation to “paramatma” or “supersoul”, or source. Animals are not subject to karmic reaction. They are innocent of fault, being purely when under the influence of their mind and body. They do not have the ability to rationalize or philosophize or self-reflect. But we have that capacity, so we are gifted, but wit great gifts comes great responsibility, so we are held responsible for the way in which we use or neglect the opportunity in this human form of life.

This is something even a child will understand in the educated Vedic culture of ancient India, where civilized life is understood to be about consciousness, not about pursuit of illusion, consumerism and the shallow externals of the uncontrolled mind and senses. We think that we are so advanced in our modern civilization because we have found a better way to light a fire, but if all you are doing is eating better foodstuffs, sleeping in softer beds, mating with more lust or defending with bigger missiles, then you are nothing more than a polished animal. And you can’t put lipstick on a pig and think it will help in any way.

So thoughtful, introspective and conscious beings will see through the illusion, the ignorance, the animalistic drive to defend the ego, and will begin to inquire into the real potentials of the human form of life. If you are receptive to these unanswered questions from your dumbed down so-called modern society, and are looking for meaning in the madness, something more than just survival, then you are on the right track. Look at our existence and tell me we are doing an uplifting job and I will remind you that there are more humans in severe suffering on this planet than there are content ones, out of the almost 8 billion of us.

Unless you have tired of chewing the chewed, and are looking for a higher taste, then you will remain entrapped in the illusion perpetrated by the PTB to keep you enslaved to the allure of more, the illusion of false ego as seen in fashion magazines and billboards. Consumerism is a trap created by the masters of illusion and as long as we fall for it, then we are the donkey chasing the carrot. Now is the time to awaken to the real goal of life, to remember who you are, to break out of the trap and the illusion, and if you’re reading this then you are on the right track. Take from it what you will, according to your ability to comprehend with consciousness the bigger picture, to see pearls of wisdom when they are put before you, to break free from the PTB who ride you like a donkey to your grave.

Are you awake or are you still as dull as a donkey? Are you the frog in the well, unable to comprehend the ocean beyond? Use this post as a catalyst, wake up from the dream, the thick fog permeated by the dull body and mind and simply ask the right questions. That in itself will begin the process of attracting the answers to you, because it’s all about vibration and the law of attraction. It’s a science, and we are holding the most powerful piece of engineering know to human kind in our hands, namely ourselves. The stars await you.

This is a really great post! I really appreciate the many different metaphors that you applied. The one that stuck out the most to me was how drivers associate themselves with the vehicle in an accident.

One question I do have though, when you say that we attract things like a magnet, do you mean things are literally being pulled to us or is it simply the state of consciousness that we hold which allows us to see those specific things?

It's literal because we are an electromagnetic as well as chemical organism. What we are vibrating at is a charge or magnetic field, so although it plays itself out subtly, we are literally attracting people and experiences according to our magnetic attraction capacity. There may be the appearance of random events, but ultimately nothing is random. It is all interconnected. There is a reason for everything. Even chaos theory is scientific.

What we are vibrating at is our frequency. Frequency measures the rate at which something is vibrating, frequency is not magnetism. Magnetism has to do with the movement of an electrical charge. Electromagnetism is the physical phenomenon of an electric field and a magnetic field interacting.

You are right in that we produce extremely subtle biomagnetics, and we are beginning to study these in depth. I can definitely see that the biomagnetics would have a small pull on things, but I seriously doubt that it would attract major events in our lives and that it has more to do with the state of consciousness, or awareness, which gives us limited sight to perceive the things of which we are holding onto in our conscious/subconscious awareness. Personally, I think these biomagnetic fields have more to do with how we affect our surroundings than what we attract to us.

Chaos theory has to do with how a minute change in a system can lead to dramatic changes, also known as the butterfly effect. The reason for everything could simply be 1+1=2; one action leads to the next, and so forth. Everything is tied to a cause-effect relationship - causality.

Everything is random, and the only reason it is seemingly ordered is because we are pattern seeking creatures. We develop a perceptual filter from birth, which is altered throughout our lives through interaction of self with environment, self with others, and self with self. Culture has the biggest influence of all on our perceptual filters. Through these lens, we tend to pick and choose what we believe to be ordered and what is disordered. Each individual with their own unique set of filters perceiving order/disorder from the primordial Khaos.

Yes I like your interpretation. Semantics get in the way sometimes. According to Vedanta the Supreme being or original causeless cause of all causes is called Krishna, and the word in Sanskrit literally means "the all-attractive". We attract according to our magnetism, literally and figuratively. It may look like chaos or random but it is in fact, according to Vedanta, not my concocted speculation, that not a blade of grass moves without a reason, a cause, a chain reaction. Similarly with us. Everything is connected and happening for a reason.

We are looking at the same elephant from different angles. Thanks for your valuable insights.

Great post. One thing I felt reassured by was that I am on the right track... phew! I wish everyone in the West knew this. It would certainly be a balm for many.

Yes, education is needed so that more westerners who are in the less civilized part of the world here, can learn the finer arts of consciousness and self-reflection as well as how imprisoned we are by our slave masters who run the financial systems.

H-m-m! I love this...

The body in this human form of life is like a field and we are planting the seeds. The seeds are the karma or actions that we act out, based on what we attract according to our past deeds or our current state of consciousness. Life is about energy, about vibrating electromagnetic frequencies. We all radiate a certain frequency according to our make up. And we attract like a magnet according to that vibration.

I find it fascinating to look at our being and life to see what we have formatted from our actions and past kamma and with that extra quality you speak of radiating at a certain frequency and that we act like magnets according to that vibration. It's quite inspiring to work with this knowledge, awakening to the potential which is quite something as a human being!
Thanks for opening our eyes to this!

Well done for being so astute and receptive to these insights already. You are a rare soul @porters.

Good post. I've given up trying to work it out and feel that there is so much I could have done and wanted to do in my life, and even if I won the lotto right now there is only a fraction I could do in the time left me... that's how I feel right now... and I have no idea what I can do about it

One technique is to give up hankering and lamenting. Hankering for unachieved wishes or lamenting for lost opportunities or objects of the senses. Bask in the remembrance of your good deeds and use the last fraction of time to attain balance , make peace, be here now, and prepare for transcendence.

Good for the #thoughtfuldailythought

Most of us do not see themselves as their car (or bike).

If I see how humans behave I think being on the animal level is way better. 💕
