581 | The Insanity of our Separation

Cut off from source as creation through our own separation and 'fall' into concepts of 'angels' & 'demons' -or 'god' and 'the satan'- we make ourselves subject to the 'enemy construct' (one of the tools of mass manipulation) which in turn is used to further enslave us by 'divide & conquer'. We often fail to see how our world is the externalized manifestation of ourselves as we defer responsibility and abdicate our power. Yet the potential to 'find our way back' to source, to wholeness and the true value of life is always here.

Practice sanity - to move beyond the insanity of the order of separation and abuse; beyond the polarity of superiority/inferiority and the power-games that lurk at every corner of our conditioned at-most-fear. Sanity is an interesting word that has its roots in the word health/heal, and is defined as in: "healthy condition"; "soundness of mind".

From where I'm looking, the definition would also entail "remaining stable in the face of fear or other insanities"...

Awareness. Courage and standing, honesty and accountability, responsibility and team-spirit - these are some the tools with which we can individually and collectively overcome the polarized consciousness systems that rule us within and without - and get to the LIFE we're all wishing to see for life on earth.

579 | Re-igniting my Passion & Daring to Be Myself

Continuing from the previous two posts
A further interesting aspect that opened up within it all has been: daring to be myself.
What does that even mean?
Well for one it’s about how we tend to form and mold our self-image and behavior around our ideas of what is expected of us – who we’re supposed to be.
This brings along things like self suppression, holding self back, or even depression and more physical consequences. Imagine spending your life trying to be something, trying to be someone. This is mostly what life has become. Hardly do we receive or even perceive the opportunity to really get to know ourselves, our nature, our strengths and weaknesses, our interests, our natural talents and skills, or even our roots and history, which whether we like it or not do define us or at least leave a mark in forming 'who we are'.
Daring to be myself has thus a lot to do with opening myself up to the entirety of my life and my life experience and looking at everything, even that which hurts, even regrets and judgments and basically any polarities, and standing in self honesty, so as to be able to determine who I want to be.
But even this ‘who I want to be’ is then based on who I am – who I really am and know I can be, in terms of my full potential as life. So we are not talking about creating an idea or picture in one’s mind here, which one then tries to ‘fulfill’. No. In fact, that is what the entire world system gets us to do already – this is the ‘old way’, the preprogrammed way. Now we need a ‘new program’, a new world, a new way of life, for real. And for all. What we need is Awareness as life – that’s why you’ll hear more and more: “we need to wake up”.
That’s what waking up means. Realizing that: we are here, and we have been asleep; we have been hypnotized and have even become master hypnotizers ourselves, lol, while we keep on playing the game,  the game that we call life.
I take it most will agree that life is not a game, so yes, it’s time to stop the game and redefine life, it’s time to dare get real – individually and collectively.
What is important to you, and why?
What is of importance for humanity on earth?
And could it be the answer to both questions is of similar nature?


And just to round up the point of the word 'Daring'; I use the word simply because I found it takes courage...but especially because I find that we do not even notice how we are 'not ourselves', how we tend to keep ourselves limited or distracted or stuck or holding back...
So, which also brings us back to the word and expression of Passion, because when I am genuine and present in the moment, here, I can be passionate about whatever is relevant in the context of the moment and about expressing and sharing who I am in relation to everything/everyone else involved. I can also be passionate about principles that truly resonate with who I am, which I can then express in my own individualized or unique way, such as truth, integrity, equality, support.

So, even with it being rather about being than daring, the Being itself -to Be, to Live, to be Alive and Awake- does sometimes require some daring, lol, some courage, where we have to move ourselves through layers of conditioning, and push ourselves beyond our accepted limitations.

We're gonna have to do that as Humanity as well- as One, as a collective, as life on earth...

573 | Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you

Recently I had an interesting event/experience while interacting within one of my groups – where someone made a comment which I deemed as ‘not cool’, as in unnecessarily rude or arrogant. Being that in this group we have agreed on certain principles to be honored, such as equality and mutual support, I deemed such approach to be not appropriate and not within the parameters set within the group. In that moment, I rushed to make a comment in an attempt to convey this, but alas, in my anger and frustration my response resonated in a similar tone to that which I was attempting to correct/align.

After making my comment I had to rush to work, but later in the day I did see and realize how my interaction in that moment had not been the best I could have done. I had in fact even seen/faced this point before and realized that it’s best to contact another directly so that I can reach them on a self support level and they also may have the opportunity to create solutions /transcend a point – without engaging the whole group. Or, if I don’t have the time to engage with the being, to then simply inform someone who is already in contact with them so that at least the point is directed and I can rest assured that assistance and support is taking place.

But unfortunately, and even though I had seen the solution/correction before for how to step-in/step-up in such cases, in the rush of the moment the old pattern kicked in.
I found it interesting, later, that I responded in the same/similar resonance as that which I found “not cool” and was attempting to correct. The whole thing reminded me of something a dear friend of mine used to say, something I definitely agree with, which is: an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind!
I could see that in that moment I did not ask myself the question: how would I like to be supported in this case? – thus placing myself in the shoes of another, which would have assisted me to work toward a real solution and support.

I had seen this point before in the context of my interaction with another person, where I was able to correct/heal the misalignment by contacting the being individually and establishing a communication – which is what I would have liked for myself as well. Here thus the principle of “do unto others as I’d have done unto me” – which is definitely a cool practical application in self-honesty, also making sure that self isn’t reacting /isn’t responding in a reaction.
I’ve recently realized how I’ve had accumulated frustrations about groups and communication in general, and so lately I’ve been working on the history and correction of who I am in relation to groups and relationships, so I’m definitely walking a learning process in this context.
I also came to realize that I have been at times harsh in my attempt to align points within the group communication. In my last couple of posts I wrote about the pattern of ‘overprotectiveness’ that I’d developed toward the group and the principles we adhere to. I wrote about the consequences of such pattern and what I was able to see and realize once I could see the pattern for what it is.

I mean, we are all constantly in a process of learning, of deepening our understanding of human nature, that is ourselves and each-other, and expanding our communication skills – each one walking through their own points and patterns as well. For me for example, I had to learn the hard way that I’m often coming off harsh – as nobody ever contacted me to assist me in seeing/realizing this, for example by simply sharing that "hey I am noticing this…" or "hey have you considered…", which is what I would have liked for myself, and what I’ve also come to realize is how we can support each other best.
So I’m definitely making it even more of a point now for myself and my practical living application in any participation/interaction, to no longer rush to respond or step in, but rather take that moment to truly place myself in the shoes of another and ask myself how I can support in a way that is best for all.
In groups (whether small or big) we tend to take such points personally, but I mean these are points that we as humanity are facing as well, and here I'm sure we can all see that we have not yet reached the full potential of what is possible, of what is best. Therefore group interactions and group communication (be it e.g. family or other groups and relationships) is where we have the opportunity to develop ourselves, our awareness, and our skills in a way that we can be of support both to ourselves and to others, and the group /relationship as a whole. I mean imagine the full potential of such ‘evolution’ – wouldn’t we have an entirely different manifestation of and as Humanity on Earth!

568 | Humanity Maturing?

I’m continuing looking into Maturity as a living word, and one point from my previous post on Maturity was the aspect of ‘completion’ or the ‘ripening’ of something – so that got me thinking, that perhaps maturity is not an absolute. Meaning, there can be aspects/situations/patterns in your life where you have applied and developed yourself to be mature in who and how you are in relation to those particular aspects/situations/patterns, and there may be some others that you’re not yet mature in relation to, where you for instance still react towards.

So perhaps then also the question: what IS maturing? What are we creating /what is being created and how? And in relation to self: What am I maturing as? What is maturing within me as me? I’ve looked into this aspect in my post 565 | What on Earth are we Creating? which you can reference here if you like.

So that got me thinking:

Can life mature? Or is it a program/consciousness that matures?

For one thing I can say that awareness can mature – if/as it’s realized and nurtured.

So perhaps in looking at systems we can say that systems are mutating rather than maturing. Because all systems act respectively in self-awareness as self-interest; each with its own agenda (think for example blame, or anger, or jealousy, or any personality system, e.g. the self-pity personality or the megalomaniac – all that is of ego/consciousness systems).

There must, however, be existent always the possibility of maturity of being, maturity of character as a constant, a presence of self. This however is the state where the systems have been transcended in the sense that they have no grip on self. This is something for each one individually to strive in living application within who one is and how one lives; but we must also acknowledge that our bondage is existent not only within, but also without – as the world system of bondage, the utter exploitation and deception of life. Thus, within as without, it is a parallel process of freeing ourselves of the bonds we had accepted and beliefs we had limited ourselves to, freeing ourselves from everything that suppresses our full potential as life. We are indeed moving in awareness into a more organic transformation process, through communication, through sharing, through looking at the world from a solution approach –

to everything that we’re currently facing as human beings, as humanity.

Back to the questions and looking at this existence, our creation, we can say we have matured as delusional egos, as profit-driven parasites, as fearful servants, as unfortunate slaves – depending on what level of the hierarchy we were born into. In any case – a disaster has matured on earth.

Hence we are writing ‘end times’ scenarios as we speak, lol. However it doesn’t have to be this way. Not all is lost. We are still here. And after all, if we are the ones writing the scenarios, then we can still change our course and divert ourselves/our world from self destruction and into supportive, constructive best-for-life living; where we place life before profit, life before ego.

The incredible history of mankind and the blood shed for profit through deceit and deception is being exposed more and more, the ‘end times’ is near but it need not be the end of humanity. Let it be the end of a system of abuse and exploitation. Let it be the end of an ego driven existence. Let it be the end of fear. Let it be the end of suppression and oppression. It’s life standing up.

The veils are lifting, and we are starting to realize more and more that we are not the sheep we were meant to be; we do not have to be.

Indeed it is time to mature as HUMANITY, as LIFE – as true care, true awareness and interdependence, true morality and fairness and consideration for everything that is here;

To mature into absolute self-response-ability and CARE.

To live maturity entails a depth that comes from the deep interdependence we exist within and as, that is real. To live maturity entails a patience and a gentleness, a slowing down and opening up so as to embrace anything and everything, correcting/healing that which is of ‘evil’, and nurturing that which is ‘live’ as life. Embrace everything, so that that ‘thing’ can find it within itself to nurture itself as life, and thus become life and be life and create life.

I believe that we become life in shedding the masks and the systems that we have adopted / accepted / allowed and moving beyond our accepted beliefs and limitations into truly dis-covering life’s potential. This we do individually and collectively, together. It is OUR humanity that is at stake – our SOUL if you will.

To live maturity entails realizing self as the source; Maturity begins within self and the relationship one cultivates within oneself, toward one’s own life, toward life itself; this one life that is the ultimate gift and the ultimate opportunity to get real, to make a difference, to mature not only oneself but one’s world and reality into its utmost and full potential as LIFE –

realizing responsibility and manifesting care – 

step by step, moment to moment, breath by breath in awareness as LIFE.

Let’s get our HUMANITY MATURE – let's mature in our humanity, as humanity, and together we can change our existence and our world for-real and establish new ways of living that will support all life and allow us to truly evolve, express, learn, expand, and… find out what more there is to our existence! It is what we make it – so let’s do it!
