Low Voltage Code

 

Yesterday morning, while high on a lift, my back started hurting and I felt panicky, and looking across the store, I realized there were no other associates around to help me. The pain shot through my back and took my breath. For a brief moment, I felt the way mom must feel on those nights when she thinks she is dying. This occurs on many nights for mom. She is extremely fearful of being separated from her old, tired body. Any significant pain or a period of physical struggle, and she begins to panic. Her first thought is that she should have someone near to help her put things back in order somehow. There are times when she calls me and those times are very sad indeed. Of course there is little one can do, but I understand how stabilizing it can be to have someone there, telling you that all will be okay.

However, it isn’t always okay. Our body has been assembled from ancient parts, and it simply doesn’t last that long. Some days, the onboard, BCM (Body Control Module) will send urgent signals to the ECM and the (Electronic Control Module) responds by attempting to correct the issues.

These are car terms and a version of a panicky automobile would be: one that has been triggered by a code which says that the voltage is dangerously low. If you were a technician, working in a garage, you would diagnose the trouble by pulling the code from the OBD (On Board Diagnostics). One such code is the P0131 Code. If this code is present, things cannot behave normally.

As different as we think we are from an automobile, we’d check more boxes than we’d leave blank. Our bodies are machines: check. Our bodies are made up of parts that were once parts of other bodies: check. Our bodies have systems which communicate with an onboard, overall, controlling system: check. Our bodies can be damaged, repaired or worn out: check.

We sometimes refer to it as dying, but what we seem to mean by that is that our body isn’t running well.

When it comes to our car, we can tell when a code has been triggered. We are alerted by a red or an orange, “Check Engine” light. This lets us know that the entire, onboard system, has done all it can do to correct the problem, and now, there is some hope that The Observing Driver will get involved and correct the problem from beyond the car’s local control.

This is where it gets interesting; especially from the car’s point of view. You see, the light, which has illuminated for The Driver, is the car’s last option. There are no wires which let the car’s system know that a Driver actually exists.

Meanwhile on The Driver’s side of this experience, the holistic reality includes the car, its troubles and its request for help; but it goes beyond, to include a garage, new parts and even a dealership, full of new options. Remember, from the car’s point of view, all of the troubles seem to be contained within the one system. The Driver is based on a higher system, where the car is a means of experience and transport, but not the only one.

Our bodies eventually stop running. This can be the result of an accident, a disease or wear. If we happen to be donors, it is possible that some of our body’s parts will be sold as used parts where they perform certain functions in another body.

It is not difficult to see that there is only Life within a car when The Driver and passengers are present. If a car was more aware, it would understand that it has been ergonomically created to accommodate beings beyond its wired and programmed limits.

You and I only need to be slightly more aware to see that our bodies have been created in a similar fashion; to accommodate beings beyond our wired and programmed limits.

Looking at Life in this parabolic way, it may occur to you that The Driver, while not necessarily, physically pared with your onboard system, is still, very much in control. There is absolutely nothing to fear. Yes, your body is a fallible machine and it will ultimately fail someday, however, your parts will be used again and The Driver will operate other machines, very much like your body. The only Life to have ever occupied your body was The Driver.

Our bodies are complicated machines, created to perform within the local, designed platform, as a self-contained unit of operation. However, a knowledgeable machine has the capacity to see that Life enters, buckles in and rides, making turns, stopping and starting, and ultimately steps out, thereby leaving the machine lifeless.

Imagine a car, put out to pasture, with the switch left on, the wipers are still going and the flashers are still flashing. Imagine The Driver walking away. Now, with this thought in mind, identify where The Life is. It is with The Driver. The old car, as twitchy as it may be, has no Life within it.

Your body is a self-contained unit of operation. The Only Agent of Life you’ve ever known has been The Driver of your body.

It is normal to feel discomfort and to send signals to alert your local system, as well as The Holistic System, of this discomfort. One day, your body will come to a stop and Life will step out, very much like the same Life once stepped in.

It takes transcendent awareness to see that You Are The Driver and not the machine.

Machines are buried all over the planet. None of which are aware of anything at all. A teacher once said, “Let the dead bury the dead.”

In a way, he was saying, “Let machines bury machines.”

This idea has nothing to do with The Awareness which once occupied the machines. That Awareness is Life, and it has always gone from machine to machine and it always will.

You won’t forget the machine You are in at present. It may be one of Your fondest memories one day. But You, The Driver, The Agent of Life, The One Who Loves, will never die.

When a pain shoots through your back, that pain sends a signal to a bright light on the very cluster of your experience, and that bright light doesn’t stop where you think it does. That light is then seen by The Agent, who operates in The True Reality; a Holistic Reality, where your body is included as a unit. The Agent wants your body to run well and will be as proactive as possible. Your body has been designed to think of itself as an isolated, mechanistic being, but if you think about it, you’ll come to realize that your body is nothing without Life. And if that’s the case, Life must be greater than your body. What truly operates your body is The very Life your body is somewhat unfamiliar with. You are that Life.
