For all those who don’t read my journal
Lol
Life’s been Grand. We’re buying property. Yes- we close tomorrow. And we’re moving. Not immediately, but soon.
I’ve been reflecting on the quite frankly immeasurable shifts which have occurred over the last year. With such immensity, the mind seeks a cause. However; the mind is unable to fathom a cause which causes itself. The mind cannot comprehend the spirit.
The Lion’s Gate isn’t a cause of things. It is a portal through which the spirit may choose to pass in order to manifest it’s desires. The spirit is the cause, and the Gate offers an opportunity.
I didn’t realize it quite at that time, but last year was my spirit’s grand-offensive-shocking entrance into my life.
One can easily be distracted by all of the mind content. I have never had more clarity about this than right now. The last year has been a slow but profound rhythmical cycle between Awareness in the Mind and Awareness in the Spirit. Every inbreath is more deeply aware in spirit, and every outbreath is just a small degree less identified in mind. I feel such amusement with the mind! It throws distractions in every kind of way; good, bad, beautiful, ugly. The first one I met was the Christ. The Christ itself is not a distraction, but the mind is want to be distracted. And will use the fact of a perception of Christ as some kind of-oh, I don’t know-game show ? which tells all kind of different stories and has this narrative or that and makes characters and creates actors and give roles and all that jazz that the mind is so good at. “But, but- if there is a Christ, then there is a Devil and where is he? Oh, he’s over there, doing that stuff with those people. And that must mean that I’m with Christ and doing Good and they’re Evil!”
Anytime there is a side to be taken- it’s a sign of being mind-controlled.
But, one will do very well to discard concepts and paradigms and simply have an experience. Experience it fully. Then analyze it. It’s really like dreaming- if one attempts to analyze a dream in the dream, the dream abruptly ends and one is left with a sense of loss- because the rational discursive mind has grasped all the attention and left nothing for the dream itself. And this is what the last year has been for me. A Grand Experience. Not perfectly experienced, but humanly experienced. Along with the grasping mind diminishing the experiences-especially in the beginning-came a thorough familiarity with the mind and an increasing recognition, awareness, and acceptance, of the mind, what it is, and how it acts.
My spirit’s entrance into my conscious awareness was aptly timed and I think, as all spiritual matters are, divinely orchestrated. It can be a rough, and rocky process. There are pitfalls of course, to the process of disidentification with the mind and living more into the reality that one is, here on earth and in every Plane, a spirit-! There is a hefty, sizeable amount of work to do; the work to undo an inversion that has taken place. That inversion of spirit having been placed into service to to the mind and it’s shallow, material desires, understandings, needs, etc. It’s the inversion that is so profitable to materialists, because the spirit really is put into service and does serve the material. What is so rough about this process is the mind-soul contracts that have been forged. Whatever they are, they must be Honored. Before the spirit can be free of those obligations to serve only the material, those with whom a contract was forged need to be made whole. This can be very simple, or not. Recognizing the Energetic Thought-forms which are created from such contracts, and how they inherently keep one bound to it, is another step I learned this year. This is Energetic Psychology, as Christof Melchizedek calls it.
I sense a profound simplicity all around me. My focus is so deep and wide because the constant nagging ankle biters of the mind are quiet. They, perhaps, do not even exist anymore. My attention is almost entirely and exclusively on that which my spirit desires. My mind has been made, for the most part, a willing helper of my spirit. It has been sanctified, redeemed, cleared out and cleaned of all which might be a bind or a thorn to my spirit. My mind is not that which I identify with, and, has become far more flexible and amenable to hosting rank material contradictions, concepts which serve no material purpose whatever, even ideas that would harm material desires and is therefore a threat to the mind itself. These things are not possible if the spirit is in service to the mind. They are only possible if the mind is placed in a right relationship to the spirit.
So I suppose I have made a very reasonable argument as to exactly how the spiritual world is antithetical to the mind and, why rationality will never penetrate to spiritual depths. All borne of a direct experiential knowledge. The way of the Mystic. Ironically, empiricists should all be Mystics; since they rely solely on information from direct perception. It is more often that rational empiricism is substituted for true empiricism, however.
