So check it, am gonna be straight wit ya...
Do I think I'm Jesus Christ reincarnated... nah, I'm just JC's Brother,
and really, I see that we all belong to the family lineage of Christ.
Not in the physical body, but the spiritual body.
Now those words don't really mean anything unless there is Truth to them... do they?
Not really.
If there is no truth to something, it's not real. Right? Isn't that what "being true" means, that its real?
Our Brother, Saint James, has repeatedly said, "you gotta stay true for life, otherwise you ain't shit."
I agree...
Staying True... what's that mean though?
Here's an example...
I write, A LOT... and most often its about something to do with spirituality.
Why?
Well, a while back I realized that writing was an act through which I
can lose my self-created sense of self and step into the flow of Life.
It was often the case that, in my mind, I was writing to someone else,
or so I thought. I soon realized that what was being written was for
everyone, most importantly, me. It was a sort of therapy, although I
didn't realize it at the time...
It was only until recently that I saw writing was actually transforming
me. So, I went back and re-read, and re-read, and re-read.
I read and read and read, not because I thought I was "the shit" for
writing what I wrote, but because the words that were written were
written as such because they were intended to release my mind from
whatever insanity had sparked the note to begin with.
If I had a question, I would write it out. Myspace became my best
friend. Not only for the interaction with others, but because I could
write, and it was liberating me, and others... a teacher teaches and
learns by teaching, so to speak.
At the time, I had no clue where life was taking me, I was just along for the ride.
And now, here, in this moment, writing this, a deep sense of peace is
present. More than that, this peace is not because of any condition
that has taken place in the circumstantial reality of the physical
universe, but because there is really no conflict in the mind or the
heart that is currently being experienced. And if conflict does happen
to arise, I look at it, and make a more appropriate choice, i.e. The
Power of Now (no, not the book by Eckhart Tolle)... You know, the power
that is the originator of all things in this very instant... That Power!
It wasn't until yesterday, October 21, 2009, that the fundamental
realization of living essence became absolutely clear... and it has
nothing do with the me I think I might be.
It has everything do with... well, uh... everything, I guess...
Walking with insanity as the predominant premise in the mind often
bewildered me. Even that sentence is bewildering... "what is insanity?
and how did it become the predominant premise? If your mind is so
easily bewildered, how do you know your not bewildered right now? How
can you be so sure that this is just not some mental illusion that you
think is the reality? You could in fact be insane while everyone else
is sane, how do you know? How do you know, really? How do you know for
sure? How can you be so certain?"
The questions never end... However, there is One Truth that answers them all.
The method that I use to enter into a place of peace is Transparency.
And transparency is two-fold. In order to arrive at the first fold, a
journey towards transparency must occur. The first fold of transparency
can be summed up in two words, "Hide Nothing!"
And this entails an exhausting look into all the bullshit I have buried, in the mind and the heart.
Let's me be clear, bullshit = sin, and sin is nothing more than
ignorance, which is really me choosing to ignore the presence of
Life... right now.
So, the method I use to uncover the bullshit involves looking at
anything that causes ANY degree of conflict and taking it to
resolution. Not waiting for resolution to come, rather, finding
resolution Now.
You could say that this is a "go it alone" type approach. But not really.
And here's why...
When I see and feel conflict, this is the "go it alone" approach.
Trying to force "my" way and not simply allowing what-is to bring All
into fruition.
Resolution occurs as I align to the Singularity of Presence. Joining
forces with this singularity is allying with an omnipotent force... its
the same force that holds the universe together, right now, and allows
me to type this and you to read this.
Science has made similar reference to this force, the "cosmological constant".
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the cosmological constant
proves that God exists, what I'm saying is that right now, there is
some kind of force that constantly keeps the cosmos, and everything in
it from spinning out of existence.
Regardless, of what I say or what science says, the fact is, you are reading this.
See, look, your mind is processing these words.
Are you aware of this?
For a while, I was lost in the mind, I *thought* it was "The Answer."
Fact is, anything constructed in the mind is only an idea, not reality.
So, I kept searching...
Then one day, I was re-reading back through a book I was writing and it dawned on me, I am not the mind.
I had heard that said before, "You are not the mind," but at the time, it was like, "yeah, whatever."
In actually realizing that I am not the mind, and therefore, cannot be
anything that the mind projects, then I need not focus on any of the
bullshit that I thought was, only release it.
So that's what I did, but first, I had to uncover it in order to release it; one step at a time...
And that's when I started to create a course called "World Peace
Through Inner Peace." Again, at the time I started the course, it was
intended for others. However, I soon realized that I had to first go
through it before actually giving it out to others.
What followed was two years of walking through the depths of hell... figuratively speaking of course... well, maybe.
Regardless, whenever I saw something within my mind or heart that
brought up conflict I would dive head first into the darkness, and yes,
I brought my flashlight
...
And this is what the course showed me... that it is inner peace that
causes a peaceful experience, and the world, in all its might, cannot
take this unless I first come to a place of conflict within myself. In
the journey, a vision came up, it was a world upon which everyone was
at peace in mind AND heart... Hence, "World Peace Through Inner Peace."
Some have asked my if I am crazy, if I have a mental illness, and some have even wondered if I am Lucifer.
And here's my response... I was crazy, I was mentally ill, and I danced with Lucifer...
Then I realized that the mental conditions I imposed upon myself was just non-sense, really, it was literal non-sense.
Thus, the first fold of transparency ===> What is there to hide?
And the second, well, that is only seen through the first...
Here's a metaphor, though, to get ya started...
The heart is like a light bulb, turn it on and it shines...
The Second fold of Transparency is transparent Self expression... and this ain't no mental thing... more of an emotional...
mind is to mental as heart is to emotional
free both and both are free...
this is our responsibility...
