Along For The Ride

 

 

Apparition
I am having out-of-body experiences every time I objectify anything at all. It is always necessary for me to witness the world around me in order to objectify it; but it is just as necessary for me to witness it for whatever it is to exist.
Observing phenomena creates and changes phenomena.
The “Hard Problem” is no problem at all for consciousness. Consciousness is not struggling to understand why anyone thinks about what is or what isn’t. Consciousness is well aware of the complexity imagined in the minds it fortifies in order to provide the illusion of diversity for the purpose of experience alone.
It’s All in Your Mind
A local way of thinking about all nonlocal thought is to label it all as Akashic. Akasha is often thought of as within the ether, but all of these terms are unimportant to consciousness. It is only necessary to speak in parables in order to picture that which cannot be pictured otherwise. Akasha is one such term. Consciousness is only one event. Akasha stores the data of the past and the future. It is always our local understandings that filter the available details of our objectified world. There is always more to know about everything we experience, but knowing all there is to know is not necessary in order to have an experience. Even infants know to breathe, but most infants probably aren’t giving oxygen a lot of thought; they are just having an experience.
The strangest feature of consciousness is that it allows for participation. If we could physically go to the Akashic Library and check out a book on the color red, we could read it, and the words would still appear as odd black shapes against clean, white backgrounds. Consciousness, on the other hand, wrote the book. In order to experience the color red, consciousness objectifies redness, and we participate in the definition by being a witness.
So far, this is fairly provable, and it would even fit within a journal of pure science; but the observation of phenomena is not the only function of consciousness. Consciousness also takes what is believed by the witness and constructs exactly what the witness believes — with zero latency. All belief regarding our objectified world occurs alongside that which is believed.
This is where consciousness seems too good to be true. This implies that I am not just having an experience called reality; I am also making it up as I go. There are very good reasons why I cannot possibly get ahead of myself; “myself” is a product of the very reality arising as its experience.
Hardened, verifiable reality is neither hard nor real without a conscious observer to bear witness.
Is consciousness what some would refer to as God? No. Consciousness is the first cause. Time is one of the constructs of consciousness, so we tend to think of it as being a product of time; but consciousness is eternal, and time is not.
Time is a measurement in the same way that space is a measurement. Within space, we say that something is here or there. Within time, we say that something is now or then. Consciousness creates here, there, now, and then.
The most impossible thought would be to try to imagine when consciousness arose. In order to say it began in a place and time, space and time would have to precede consciousness — and they did not.
Love Is.
The next part of the essay is even harder to discuss, but vastness requires space, and time would be consumed by moving through it. But time and space are equal to that which observes them. This means the furthest star is wherever you are.
I am not going to assume that this essay could be understood, because I cannot even understand it myself. This must be the way Blake felt as he dictated Jerusalem.
I do, however, understand what this truth implies. It’s just as Jesus said: “With God, all things are possible.”
I do not think Jesus meant that God needed me in order to do great things in my life. I think he meant to put a period at the end of that statement — and he did. God is not a man or a woman. God is not old or new. God is a word.
Why is it necessary to even say this? Because, “In the beginning was the Word.”
Words are not what they say they are; words are what we use to speak of the unspoken. If there is a beginning, and if there is an end, there must be a word for where, when, and how this all takes place. There is; it’s God.
The Word was God.
God alone is not distinguishable from what is not God. God is singularly Love, and contrasts arise from consciousness, which could also be labeled as God’s imagination.
The opposites are all in His mind, and each opposite reflects the other.
Form arises from the I Am.
There is a wonderful feature provided within God’s awareness, and it is called allowance. What is allowed in the creative mind of God? Anything and everything.
As humans, we often abuse this truth, and we discover ways of getting what we think we want — only to be disappointed with the results. There is a word for this as well. It is another one of those misunderstood and misused words, but the word is: Sin.
Sin is one of the most misused words in the English language. It is not an action that severs a human being from God; it is to create that which dies by missing an opportunity to create that which draws the creator closer to God — who is also Love.
Remember, we are allowed to sin.
“For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.” ~ Romans 7:19–25 KJV
What was Paul saying here?
He was simply saying that we can easily break the law of God, which is to follow after Love. That’s simply sin.
Consider this verse, and consider what I said about everything being allowed:
“All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.” ~ I Corinthians 10:23 KJV
To say that it is lawful is to say that it is allowable, but to say that it may not be expedient means that it takes you away from a path filled with purpose — the path of Love — and puts you on one going nowhere.
God has chosen you to be His guide through experience. He has allowed darkness as a way for you to discover light. He has allowed evil as a way for you to discover good. Any negative experience has developed for only one reason: as a way of discovering its opposite.
It is not just you who wants the outcome to be glorious; it is also God.
Your experience belongs to God. It is His experience. He is grieved when you are grieved.
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; put on the new you, which after God is created in goodness.
Don’t lie. Speak only the truth, for we are members one of another. You can be angry, but don’t allow your anger to steer you from the path of Love.
Don’t steal. Work with your hands and give to people who have needs.
Don’t talk negative. Say only good things that will help the hearers of your words.
Don’t grieve God. He is having this entire experience with you, and the purpose is to discover Love.
Don’t be bitter.
Be kind to others. Be tenderhearted. Forgive others; you’ll need to be forgiven too.

I now see that I am an apparition. This really has nothing to do with the sudden, startling, or unnerving vision of a ghost; I am an astral projection, having found a place to stay.

Our mental abilities are limited to our bodies. The energy for thought is a product of consciousness, but there is a check valve preventing local thought from comprehending where it came from. We even say things like, “It occurred to me.” Or, “I recall.” It seems we usually take this magic for granted. As soon as a thought “comes to mind,” the physical brain forgets to give credit to the carrier, the portal, or the library where the thought was kept prior to its recollection.

This is the only way I know how to say what exists beyond existence. Love is eternal. This is not something we could ever hope to comprehend with constructed minds. Love is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Love is the force which allows universes, and it is aware of itself. This awareness is consciousness, and we are all branches of consciousness with local awareness.

“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.” ~ Isaiah 45:7 KJV

“I, a prisoner of God myself, am asking you to walk worthily. Be meek and take care of each other in Love. Keep the spirit of Unity and the bond of peace. Consciousness is One Spirit. You’ve been chosen to experience. Keep hope alive. Love is only One. It is The Father of all, above all, through all, and in all. You’ve been given the grace you’ll need. There are all kinds of people. All are still One. Always march in the direction of Love. Speak the truth in Love. The experience is designed like a body — to work together — increasing in Love.

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; put on the new you, which after God is created in goodness.

Don’t lie. Speak only the truth, for we are members one of another. You can be angry, but don’t allow your anger to steer you from the path of Love.

Don’t steal. Work with your hands and give to people who have needs.

Don’t talk negatively. Say only good things that will help the hearers of your words.

Don’t grieve God. He is having this entire experience with you and the purpose is to discover Love.

Don’t be bitter.

Be kind to others. Be tenderhearted. Forgive others; you’ll need to be forgiven too.” ~ Ephesians 4 MCV
