What You See Isn't Always What You Get

Do you believe that what your eyes see is real?
Does your vision reveal the truth of things to you?

Take a second to consider 3-D movies. Have you been to see a 3 Dimensional film lately? I know if you have, you have pulled down your 3-D glasses to see what the picture looks like without the aid of the glasses only to find a giant, blurry, double-visioned image projecting back at you.

Apart from the glasses, the brain cannot decide on its own that it is viewing something that is being incorrectly presented. The human brain simply believes what it is given until rules are developed for the brain to understand the image needs adjusting. Although, no matter how long you stare at a 3-D image without glasses, the picture will never get better even after the brain understands that the image is distorted from what it normally processes. Since the rules of vision have already been established in the mind from birth, the mind will constantly attempt to adjust any unfiltered 3-D image it sees; and since it will fail, a headache or eye strain will eventually ensue.

The reason is, the rods and cones in each eye are identical and do not have the ability to appropriately block the different left and right images or colors on the screen as 3-D glasses do. The 3-D glasses block the left eye from seeing what the right eye needs to see and vice-versa - that way each eye is getting the appropriate image and nothing else. Then, because our eyes are spaced apart, giving us stereoscopic/binocular vision, our brain can calculate depth, causing a 3-D effect because the images were corrected to match the rules of vision set in the brain.

But it is all still just an illusion. Just because an image is being fed to the brain doesn't make the incoming data true. Simply put, an outside source has been created to manipulate what the brain thinks it knows. The mind is constantly being manipulated by the world around it because the mind does not know what is true or false until rules of true and false are created for a particular idea or notion.

With this in mind, what makes you think that anything you see on a daily basis is true at all? Is it because you are familiar with what you see? Is it because we have been trained and conditioned to accept certain things as fact?

If what you can see is reality, then how can a simple infrared lens on a camera see through the plastic bag on the image below? To a human eye, and a non-filtered lens, the bag looks solid. However, in truth, nothing in the Universe is solid - not even rocks. Just have a look under high magnification and you will see how far apart the molecules that make up things on Earth really are. You have been deceived since your arrival on Earth. This is in part by design, and in part by unawareness.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is so much going on around you that you cannot see; the brain accepts what it receives as all there is. That is why you should rely more on your intuitive nature for what is real than anything else. Our eyes are extremely limited: In terms of what is available to be seen, our visual ability is akin to being blind.
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Imagine how illuminated your world would be if your eyes could reveal just a little more of the light spectrum. This is a simple way to show how easily the mind can be tricked, and that the human brain only knows what is implanted into it.
 
Try this: Find a quiet place to retreat - perhaps at bedtime - and close your eyes. Begin to see yourself as you've always imagined. Forget what you remember seeing in the mirror because we now know that that reflection is not the truth of you. Your own eyes have been lying to your brain all of these years because the brain thinks that what it can see, touch and feel is authentic. 

What the brain never sees through the eyes is that, interwoven with the image in the mirror, is a you that is so beautiful, the mirror couldn't reflect it back to you. The best secret ever kept is just how beautiful you really are. If only there was a lens that could see Who You Really Are, you would stop chasing the perfect body. If you had True-Vision, you would no longer pursue someone that needs to meet special, physical criteria in order to have your heart. Material things like clothing would no longer concern you because you would realize that there isn't a garment in existence that could enhance your true identity. 

It is as good a time as any to let yourself go - release any preconceived ideas about your outer image, or who you believe you are as a person, since we all know your brain has been left out of the loop. Your eyes have sheltered you from your greatness. Now it is time to see yourself as the magnificent being that you are by using the eyes of the Soul.

Tonight when you go to bed, lie on your back - hold a finger to your lips, and with true passion for yourself, give it a kiss and say, "I love you" - then touch that finger to your heart for a few moments, imagining that the kiss is penetrating your very being. This kind of self love may cause your heart to beat a little faster.

Here is another little secret just for you:
The more you love yourself - the better the reflection will look in the mirror when you do use your physical eyes to see.

Now Go In Peace and Be In Love

The Reality of Things

The current population of the world is around 7,097,525,223 and counting; with a new birth every 4 seconds and a death every 12 seconds. That is a lot of movement upon the Earth. 7 billion people.

So where does your perspective of reality come into play among all of these billions of perspectives? I suppose that would depend on how you view the conception of reality. Let's have a little look, shall we.

This how the dictionary views it:
Re-al-it-ty (noun)

1. The world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them: "he refuses to face reality".
2. A thing that is actually experienced or seen.

Definition #1 assumes that there is only one reality for all to adjust their perceptions around. #2 is probably closer to the truth for each of us since we all see and experience things differently. So let's ask ourselves, are things really the way that most people believe, or have we simply been conditioned to "believe" they are that way?

Is there actually just one reality that we all can identify - or are there 7 billion individual realities in play at once? Are you able to wrap your mind around the idea that there are 7 billion different realities being acted out all at the same time? And by that I mean, the reality that our brain perceives based off of the information it has been given during its time here on Earth. We are all running a "program" of reality which was either given to us by parents and society or spirit. Perhaps a little of both.
 
Try this:
"Every one of the five senses can be twisted to deliver a completely different picture of the world. If by picture we mean the sight, sound, smell, taste, and texture of things, a troubling conclusion looms. Apart from the very unreliable picture running inside the brain, we have no proof that reality is anything like what we see."
(Deepak Chopra & Rudolph Tanzi, from the book, Super Brain)

Now, playing in concert with your individual reality are other realities (other people's views) that often partially agree with your perception of things. On a global scale, there are millions that share similar ideas of what they believe reality to be; however, that does not mean that the collective vision is actually how things are. That just means many people have adopted pieces of a common reality, but still, no two realities are identical. No one will ever agree with your particular reality 100 percent. If there was only one reality, then everyone alive would always be in total agreement and no conflicts would ever arise.

It is impossible, as humans, to fully share the same reality. We were never meant to. We came into flesh to experience as many different perceptions of All That Exists as humanly possible, and if there was but One Reality, then that would never be possible. All That Was Created is a neutral field of energy that has been assembled to give you any version of the grandest experience you could ever conceive. The only way this is possible is if this creation holds no truth of its own. The only thing that is true is that Creation Is What It Is and you can mold what you perceive of it into anything you wish because you are the master of all you survey. This is the divine power that you hold within your hands. 

This neutral field has no agenda for you. This neutral field does not even have a consciousness. This neutral field will never contradict you because it does not make decisions on how it should be viewed. It is, for lack of a better description, a mirror that will reflect back to you exactly what you think into it. 

That is why, if you believe in zombies, then zombies will be real for you.
If you believe in demonic possession, then possession will be real for you.
If you believe you will have cancer, then cancer will be real for you, and on and on.

I met a woman named, Pamela. She is 42. Both of her parents died of lung cancer when she and her siblings were young children. Her lifelong fear was that she would leave her children the same way her parents left her - with lung cancer. In 2011 she was diagnosed with lung cancer, and she does not even smoke. She has four children. What do you suppose the chances are that two parents and a child, none of which were smokers, would develop tumors in their lungs? Since we know that there is not One Main Reality of Cancer for everyone, or else everyone would have cancer; this story has to be the result of one family member's reality that became a shared reality. This was a reality of fear.

Simply stated, your mind thinks something, then the energy of creation that envelops you, seamlessly picks up your thought energy like a conductor in water, and reflects it back to you where your bodily tissues will reproduce the thought energy into form. Whatever form your body takes on is completely up to the reality you hold for yourself in your mind. If your reality constantly flows with fear, then that fear will surely manifest through your skin because the neutral creation that surrounds you does not know any better than to give you what you think. It will not contradict you and make a decision that your thoughts are bad for you. This energy field has no opinion on the matter. 

In short, whatever you believe yourself to be in thought, your body will become. 

1. Whatever you type out or complain about on your social media outlet, Creation will reflect back to you 100 percent (since Creation does not know how to manifest something half-way).

2. There is not One Reality, there are infinite realities, and they change constantly. If you have locked down on what you think the end all be all of reality is, you have doomed yourself to an extremely limited life. The best realities are the ones that flow freely and are as neutral as Creation itself.

3. If you have judged or determined that someone is not facing reality, or that they are wrong for believing the way they do, then you do not understand what reality is and you should give your understanding of things another look.

4. Never infringe on someone else's choice of reality. Instead, enjoy their vision of things with them until you no longer wish to - but do not try to change them. Let them be.

Everything you have ever dreamed of is just one thought away. Everything you need to succeed is contained within the reality of your mind. If someone has taught you or convinced you to think like them, then you are simply mimicking their reality, and not living your own. Remember, everyone thinks they are right, given their reality of the world. Everyone is right in their own mind.

Implanted Fear and Children

A quick example of how powerful fear can be when administered to a child:

When I was around five years old, my cousins attempted to get me to drink urine from a cup by telling me it was lemonade. They thought it would be really funny. I knew something was suspicious, and then another cousin told me it was pee. Well, I immediately told my Aunt that my cousins were trying to get me to drink pee and they got in big trouble. Of course, they were mad at me for telling, so in an effort to retaliate, they told me that the next time I sat on a toilet, a hand would come out of the hole and pull me in, even illustrating it with their hands, and saying it in a creepy way. Even my older brother was in on it, and I trusted him. Surely this news had to be true because I just knew my brother wouldn’t lie to me. Needless to say, because I was young and didn’t know where that mysterious black hole at the bottom of the toilet really went, I believed them.

For years I wouldn’t go near a toilet with high water. I especially wouldn’t go near toilets with water that I couldn’t see through. That fear eventually morphed into any body of water that looked creepy or cloudy. These days, as a grown-up, I am fully aware that the hole story was false, but even knowing that, I still hate toilets with high water, toilets with cloudy water, and more than anything, toilets that run over the top when clogged. That fear sure had its affect on me. That is because it was implanted into me when I was so young. I didn’t know any better and I had no frame of reference to compare the data to. Then, add the scary and believable way that they told the story to me to the mix and I had no choice but to believe it. I asked my Aunt if what they said was true and she said no, and yelled at them to stop scaring me. But it didn’t matter – the damage had already been done to my psyche. When I went into the bathroom and stared at that hole at the bottom of the calm toilet water, I became afraid. All I could see was the hand coming to get me.

The same is true of devilish tales of demons and Hell. If you fill a little child’s mind with all of that fear, it will definitely hold power over them; even when there is absolutely no basis to the stories except what was read out of a book. And when something is believed wholeheartedly, we make it real in our own minds. Putting images like those into a mind that is still developing its consciousness causes almost irreparable damage; and it is nearly impossible to reverse. Add on top of that, the story coming from a loved and trusted parent, or the trusted pastor of the church that you would never expect to lie, or tell a tale that wasn’t true. After all, the pastor is viewed as someone with a direct link to God in the minds of the parishioners. However, once society stops injecting those fears into its offspring, life will suddenly improve.

Since the base of all fear, religion, will have been removed, children will no longer grow up afraid of their own shadows. They will not believe that they have to get things while the getting is good. They will not believe that a choice with an unfavorable outcome will end in punishment from God. They will understand that to change their prospects, they merely need to make a new choice. Fear will no longer be the driving force of society. And fear is the root cause of:

Greed, jealousy, anger, murder, lack, hatred, lying, racism, and etcetera – I think you get the picture.

People won’t be able to comprehend it at first.  People will wonder what made the change. Then, the wise sages among us will reveal that it was our own change of beliefs that did it. That’s why I say, change the way you believe, and the change will be unbelievable.

Let Go Of Time

When you let go of the idea of "Time" you will find that the ticking of the clock will no longer be an obstinate obstacle for you. Some people chase the clock during their busy work days trying to keep a schedule, only to find they've gotten nowhere fast. This can lead to mental stress, causing short-term memory loss, insomnia, irritability towards those who don't deserve it, and road rage while having to deal with drivers that seem to be purposely driving slower than you on the freeway.

Try this: If you work a job that requires you to "Be On Time", such as FedEx, UPS, or another time sensitive profession, simply forget about the clock. Just peacefully begin your day and move at a comfortable pace. Just for one day, forget about time and pretend you have all the time in the world; really you do since time is but a figment our collective imagination. Don't try to rush home. Don't get bothered at the slower pace of others. They are in their own little bubble and not even concerned about you.

You will find that at the end of the day, you were able to maintain your schedule, while feeling relaxed. Important factors such as your digestion will be better, along with your mood and overall outlook on the day. I have found that when I ignore the clock, the day moves along much more smoothly because I wasn't chasing that imaginary element of time.

This is a conscious approach to daily happiness when it comes to those who have stress laden careers. There are many aspects to a stressful job, and the Illusion of Time is just one of them. The secret is to find what it is about your specific job that is weighing you down and simply remove it from your mind. Yes, it is simple once you take charge of your consciousness, because only you are in control of what enters your brain, and what gets left behind the velvet rope of your mind.

The Old Testament Was Written Out Of Fear

Penalties of Death in the Old Testament:

The First Penalty:

2 Chronicles 15:13 ... whoever would not seek Yahveh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.

Exodus 22:20; whoever sacrifices to any god, except to Yahveh, shall be utterly destroyed.

Deuteronomy 13:6-9 If your brother, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend, entices you secretly, saying, 'let us go and serve other gods’, you shall kill him;

The Third Penalty:

Leviticus 24:16 … He who blasphemes the name of Yahveh shall be put to death; all of the congregation shall stone him.

The Fourth Penalty:

Exodus 31:14-15 … You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you; everyone who profanes it shall be put to death; … whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death.

The Fifth Penalty:

Leviticus 20:9 … For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall be put to death;

Deuteronomy 21:18 … If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son, who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother ... Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones.

All of these Laws telling the people not to kill. But then we have this:

The Sixth Commandment:

Exodus 20:13, Deuteronomy 5:17
You shall not kill.

The Sixth Penalty:

Exodus 21:12 … Whoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death.

Leviticus 24:17: … He who kills a man shall be put to death.

So here we have all of these laws declaring death to law violators. Since God does not do the killing, humans have to do it. But then the writers of the scriptures turn right around and say, do not kill, for if you do, we will have to kill you. So then do the ones who killed the killer get killed too – since they killed the killer? I mean, which one is it? Do we kill or don’t we? Does the reason for death really matter – take a look at the reasons listed in the Bible so far for killing someone.

These contradictions are no doubt the best reason for writing a New Testament. It isn’t like advocators of the old law could just say, “Ignore what you’ve just read; check out this New Version instead.” Oh but actually, that is just what they did – in the New Testament. The New scriptures were written in a way to validate or fulfill the old laws so that the entire Old Testament wouldn’t have to be scrapped.     

The Seventh Commandment:

Exodus 20:14, Deuteronomy 5:18
You shall not commit adultery.

The Seventh Penalty:

Leviticus 20:10 … If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death.

Obviously, these are man-made laws, utilized only by man-kind, otherwise, who would carry out these deathly sentences? An all powerful, omnipotent, Creator does not need human hit-men to kill.

I am sure the Source/Creator of our beings could easily extinguish us without using stones if these laws were intended to be true by the Creator. But of course, not even God can destroy that which is eternal, because God cannot contradict God’s self; that is to say, an eternal being can never contradict being eternal. We were created eternally so we must remain eternal – since that is what eternal means.

 

e-ter-nal

1.          Lasting or existing forever; without end or beginning

2.          Valid for all time; essentially unchanging

Deuteronomy 22:22

If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die; the man who lay with the woman, and the woman …

Having multiple wives, or keeping concubines, or having sex with prostitutes, is not adultery in the pages of the Bible; adultery in the Bible consists of creating doubt about paternity, i.e. having sex with another man's wife.

The Eighth Commandment:

Exodus 20:15, Deuteronomy 5:19
You shall not steal.

The Eighth Penalty: For stealing slaves…

Exodus 21:16 … Whoever steals a man, whether he sells him, or is found in possession of him, shall be put to
death.

Obviously, this passage was meant to use God as a fear tactic to prevent other believers from stealing property – the property being slaves, or other material things. 

Do you not suppose that the One who created you can see beyond what human-kind can see? Do you suppose you could come up with something that the Creator of your being did not see coming? The Source of all Life has seen your every move and your every thought from before your physical birth. You cannot surprise God. Every adulterous encounter, theft, murder or deviate thought your skin has experienced was known in advance. That is why we are not punished by the Creator; God is not disappointed in you for something God knew you would already do; we are only punished by others who are living a life just as blindly as we are. The human part of us is continually surprised and uninformed of the Soul’s intentions, so that leads to a gross level of misunderstanding about what humans believe we should be doing here on Earth.

However, if you read the “Commandments” closely, you will be able to see just how self serving they actually are. For example; if one doesn’t believe in the same religious doctrines as the writer of the scriptures, you must die. If you have a rebellious son, the son must die. If your wife has sex with anyone else, the other two must die. If you steal something from the writer of the scripts, you must die, and on and on. Do these things really strike you as something God, who is lacking nothing, would be concerned with? God is not fearful, and all of these commandments are written in the language of fear – the writer was afraid to lose something or be out of control of something. That is to be expected from humans, with such a limited perspective on the whole of things.

Sure, your Soul has the same unlimited vision as the Creator since there is no separation between them, although the human experience has been deprived of this glorious information, but that doesn’t mean you can’t live like you can see something glorious about your life. If you live your life by the fearful ideas of others, you have doomed yourself to repeat their life. Why not live your own life? At the very moment that you think you are going to behave out of a feeling of fear or anger, try to imagine reacting out of love instead. There are too many examples to list, but you know what circumstances usually draw these emotions out of you. Next time, pause and take a breath, and refocus your reaction onto a loving one – just to see how it all works out. After the event is over, review it in your mind and consider, “This must be what it is like to think on an enlightened level all of the time.”

Then let it all go, and move on in peace.

The Beauty of The Unknown

Religion has a cause that they repeat generation after generation - believers in these doctrines believe so wholeheartedly in these traditions that they never stop to evaluate what they are being told. Still, that is okay since no one will ultimately engage in something that their Soul does not wish to experience. It may seem, to people outside of other people's experience, that those who practice particular religious ideologies are following a useless path, when in fact, they are following exactly what the Soul desires. There is no way for the human mind to circumvent the Soul. The human brain cannot contemplate on the level of the Soul, so that makes the Soul the master and the mind the slave. Although, the human ego refuses to believe what I just said is true. No matter how crazy a religion seems to be, the Soul knows precisely what it is doing while it participates in it.

Everything I write in my books and on my blog or Facebook is just a message. Someone's Spirit, knowing exactly what it wants its human mind to see, may direct the physical mind to the words I type simply as a spark to set the consciousness on the desired path. There is no coincidence that a person would read something that I write. There is no coincidence that many people will never see what I write. The Soul knows right where to go to feed information to the brain that the brain needs to see; especially when the mind has been trained, all of its life, to understand things in a specific way - like from a religious standpoint.

All of this religious misinformation and interaction was planned by the Soul. The Soul first wanted to experience life from one aspect so that it could then discover something new and live from that new aspect. The struggle to accept new information amidst the current belief structure is something that the Soul wants to experience; otherwise, there would be no struggle, since the Soul can have whatever it wants. No religion and no person can stop this process. Whatever way that you view life, God and the Universe is precisely the way your Soul wants to live it. Your life is grandly designed and lived very much on purpose. There is a lot going on behind the scenes that the human mind may not be aware of. This too is by design. If you knew all that the Soul was up to, the purity of the unknown experience would be spoiled.
