Dog Poet Transmitting.......
'May your noses always be cold and wet'.
Today is Wednesday, the 14th of September and Tuesday coming, is the the 20th of September. In the 6 days of approach to the 20th, we may likely see some surprising, terrible and transformative actions on the part of those who presume to be running the show. One certain motivation, is the certain recognition of the Palestinian state, according to borders not acceptable to the nation of Rothschildlandia, which was illegally created and situated in a place where it has no historical precedent for existence. The arguments for it are all based on false and fabricated history.
Another motivation is that those who presume to be running the show have messed things up beyond all recognition and need an escape valve to cover their tracks, as they seek to make their getaway or go into a fortress mentality, as they endeavor to wipe out significant portions of the populace. This latter is already in operation in many locations but hasn’t come to the kind of massive, genocidal outrages they have in mind for the dénouement.
If there were ever a time that one could make a safe prediction, concerning possible trends, this would be that period. If the world is not rattled and shaken on its foundations in the next few days, it can only be attributed to the hand of the cosmos as the factor of restraint in play.
I don’t need to now itemize and list all of the conditions and features that are also attendant in respect of the tightening vise of the times. The reader is familiar with these things. Most of us have known for some time that, sooner or later, there would be that moment where the global excrescence hit the whirling mechanism in a really big way.
I close my eyes and seek to penetrate the surrounding darkness with the bookending lights of my reasoning intellect and intuition. I can’t see anything and I don’t feel anything either, outside of the usual heavy weather that has been the hallmark of recent years. A student of physics knows that you can only apply so much pressure in a confined space before something happens, either to the contents within or to that which contains them. This is true in the world without, just as it is true in the personal worlds of those who deal with increasing stress until something has to give.
We know that the stress and pressure are being intentionally generated by those in control of the political and economic spheres. They want to create a situation that will compel a reaction and then they can apply their solution, according to the principles of the Hegelian dialectic. Most readers know, or believe that there is a guiding consciousness that permeates all time, space and circumstance. We may not understand it but we know it is there. For my part, I know it is also in charge of all things at all times and always will be. I could spend some time discussing the ways in which this control operates but often seems to be hands off, however, that is a short run perspective. It is also true that we don’t recognize divine control because it often runs counter to our ambitions and desires. When things are not what we want them to be and don’t go in the direction we want them to, we fault the cosmos, or just assume it is indifferent or absent in any involved way.
The key to discovering higher truth, or the actual nature of an archetype, lies in having no presumptions or preconceptions about what they are or what they do. You have to approach them on their terms, not yours. This is where most people run afoul of reality. For most people, reality has to fit their dimensions of it and in a certain way it does, right up until it encounters reality.
One approaching these things and all related cosmic principles must also- forever keep in mind- the limitations of the mind in respect of complete comprehension. We don’t know very much and we never will know very much and any idea to the contrary is an unfortunate state of being that will encounter the truth of this at some point. People get out of wack in the act of knowing. We don’t know. If we are in fortunate aspect to the divine then we are permitted to know what we need to know, for as long as we need to know it, or until it is changed into something else. One should think in terms of two poles that presuppose a third pole that presupposes a forth pole and so on and so on. The deeper you go, the more you see things that are not present on the surface, even if the depths and the surface are the same after a fashion. You’ll have to read your Lao Tzu to see what he says about that. He’s the authority on these things, at least according to me. There are any numbers of real authorities and one can get some kind of understanding from any of them but I opt for simplicity and clarity doesn’t hurt either, even when it isn’t entirely clear and never will be; not while you are mortal and not while you are human.
People toil and suffer and engage in endless conflict on all planes of existence, due to ignorance and desire. Absent these motivators, one exists in another state entirely. It doesn’t much matter what the conditions of the world are at any time, so long as you are being operated and motivated by ignorance and desire. People seeking to understand themselves and the world around them need look no further than ignorance and desire and remember the maxim of The Buddha who said, “All life is pain caused by ignorant desire”. I think most people don’t separate ignorance and desire from the maxim when they hear it but that might make it more understandable if they did, or maybe not (grin).
If you want out of this fix then you must attend to the pressures of ignorance and desire within, if you hope to militate against their effect on you without. This has to be accomplished in tandem with aspiration and surrender. Aspiration is important because it lifts you toward that which is not acting from ignorance or desire. Surrender is important because it allows for you to come into the mind of the one who is in a state of liberation from these twin deficits. In a time of darkness, only devotion is going to work expediently. All the other rituals and routines are compromised and often perverted by the darkness of the times, unless you have personal access to the unpolluted springs from which they come. These are present in the secret places of Nature and yourself. Finding them is an art that is seldom (if ever) accomplished on your own.
In times of more light and less darkness, these springs are not so hidden and these rituals and routines have a greater force and authenticity. In times of greater darkness, our own minds are in conflict with our capacity to see and interpret. This is why devotion, or the path of Bhakti, is recommended and also more attended by those who provide assistance.
Those who have no solid base or contact with the primary mover are going to become increasingly aware of this. Those who have some degree of base or contact are also going to be made increasingly aware of this. Whatever you may experience or be put through is part and parcel of your awakening. There is a big difference between dancing with and working against or resisting this. As the quote (often used humorously) goes, “resistance is futile”.
Wherever you find yourself is an expression of whom and what you are in respect of what truly is. What truly is is a liberating force. Its whole intent is to free you from wherever you find yourself so that you can actually find yourself. Working contrary to this, such as locking your arms through the bars of your cell, or holding on to some large piece of furniture or any anchor of any sort is counterproductive to your own best interests. It’s unfortunate that so many of us cannot see what our own best interests are.

I don’t know very much at all, but I do know that when things are not what I want them to be and don’t go in the direction I want them to, that this indicates I’m not listening.
I continue to fight my own presumptions and preconceptions, and strive to keep my nose cool and wet.
Since I am too blind to see what my own best interest are, I will read what you say and listen to the messages from the divine. Perhaps I’ll get there yet.
Meow,
Les, what happened to:

There is a parable told by Sri Ramkrishna. A disciple of a certain Guru was unhappy about not getting any Siddhi. So he left his Guru and wandered off. After five years he returned to the Guru and told him that he has attained Siddhi. He took the Guru to the banks of a river and then crossed the river walking on water. He came back thinking that the Guru would be impressed.
The Guru took out 4 Annas (1 Cent) and gave it to him. He was shocked. The Guru advised him that this was the cost of hiring a boat to cross the river. So the Siddhi was worth 1 cent. And the disciple had wasted five years for this.
Decide what you want by reciting the Mantra? Ashtama Siddhi? What is the earthly use except joining a freak show?
Siddhis are the biggest impediments to self-realization/Mukthi or whatever is the final goal depending upon your tradition.
The weirdest thing is that I went to my calender on the computer and it said 15 when I wrote this and now it no longer does.

Many thanks for your post today. The clock seems to be ticking ever faster.

New book should be out soon. It's in the final edit and at the last part of that so the digital book should be out soon.
Why do you cringe when you read his work?
"...For most people, reality has to fit their dimensions of it and in a certain way it does, right up until it encounters reality..."
You nailed it. Again. Simply and precisely, yet elegantly and profoundly.
Mandocello.
For trying to spread the guilt and for not addressing the enormous lie that was the justification for the creation of Israel. For ridiculously saying that they Germans were responsible for the Palestinian Nakba. For the general disinfo pontificating of the whole pointless lying article and how it provides for him to paint himself as something he is not among a great many other things. He makes me cringe but he's not alone. Of course, some may differ with where the facts have led me but all I ask of them is to dispute them so that I may see the error of my presumptions as to what is true and what is not; relatively speaking.
Yep. If we feel reality has to present in any certain way for us to be 'alright', then we are not.
It need be enough to sense the True Nature of the Universe and to proceed through our lives accordingly. (Patience has since been upgraded from a virtue to an absolute neccessity.)
The message of our friendly neighborhood pie-eyed piper is surely intended to lead us to Ourselves, and nowhere else.
All is no less what it should be when things appear 'off', than when we're getting what we think we want.
Kudos for carrying on L.V.
(But don't let it go to your head.)

I'm sure a physical copy of the book will be available, I'm sure that's the case with all of them. It gets easier as we increase our investment capital in respect of sales.

I am sorry to say that I am going to have to address this tomorrow at SM. Here is a quote from this ridiculous and pontificating ration of utter shit-
"And what about you, my dearest Germans. What about your past? Are you free to look into your past and to re-shape your understanding of it as you move along? I don’t think so. Your history, or at least some chapters of it, are sealed by some draconian laws. Consequently, you younger generation do not attempt to grasp the true ethical meaning of the holocaust. Clearly, Germans do not understand that the Palestinians are actually the last victims of Hitler, for without Hitler, there wouldn’t be a Jewish State. Your young generations fail to see that the Palestinians are certainly victims of a Nazi-like ideology, which is both racist and expansionist. Let me also advise you, if any of you feel guilty about anything to do with your past, it should be the Palestinians whom you should care for. The fact that Germany is detached from its past clearly explains German political complicity in the Zionist crime. It certainly explains why your government provides Israel with a nuclear submarine every so often. But it also explains why you may remain silent when you find out that Yad Vashem is built on Palestinian land stolen in 1948."
Here is the whole odious article-
caution, deception at work
Visible,
Your quote from the Gilad Atzmon article is the most duplicitous. What is he really saying? Upon first reading of that quote I also thought WTF is he doing - is he laying the nlame for the Palestinian holocaust going on since 1948 on the Germans?
Then reading the sentences a second or third time one can imagine he means the Palestinians were an unfortunate secondary collateral damage after the holocausted Jews themselves.
But why doesn't Mr. Atzmon state clearly the genocidal actions and apatheid policies of zionist Israel against the indigenous Palestinians is completely wrong and without excuse.
It is as if he is saying he beats his children because his dad beat him as a child and he just can't stop himself.
Mr. Atzmon needs to get with the truth and peace program 100% or be quiet. His writing edges on self agrandisement at the best of times and dips in to being an apologist for the inhumane conduct of Israel at others.
It seems to be the 'Gilad show' with the rightful focus on freeing the Palestinians from their slave owners as secondary.
Their is something disharmonious about the man - and it has nothing to do with his jazz music.
Johnny hates jazz, I don't understand the first sentence of your comment to me because I agree with everything that followed. I'll go into more detail about what I think tomorrow and you can have at me there. I will say here that American zionist Jews declared war on Germany in the early 30's when Hitler went about taking back the money they had stolen from Germany in previous years. I am no apologist for Hitler but I will say that the Zionists are worse given the dimension of time and the amount of deaths incurred. The Soviet holocaust which was performed by the ancestors of present day Israelis was far greater than whatever took place in Germany and at least the Germans let the Red Cross into the camps (even though the Zionists did not want the residents to receive any aid). The same cannot be said for those behind the Russian gulags. This is all well documented and more pages than anyone can read will present themselves in Google for the interested.
As long as the plane-huggers and no-plane-nutters are pointing fingers at each other they won't be pointing fingers at us.
This is good, very, very good.
Maybe they'll exhaust themselves fighting each other so we'll never have to admit that we did 9/11.
Deception at work, indeed. Disturbing, between the lines. Maybe an lament by the predator on the failure to completely control mass perception of historical truth. Or a complaint department of that machinery on the inability to cut off everyone from the Source, and feed rational lies into time without any resistance.
A limited hang out, a sub-routine, whatever, that won't get any sympathy or attention from these parts. Zionism, trans-humanism, the original big Lie, have no destiny but to fade away in the real world.
That is not really a dream, just an agreement about things that is now coming into play, in time.
Debkafile reports that Palestinians are backing off UN Security Council statehood bid. Mahmoud Abbas apparently decided not to submit the application or to submit a revised application to the UN Security Council.

The Book - we're changing the way things are usually done for this one. The idea is that it needs to get into people's hands and right now. So, first release of Spiritual Survival in a Temporal World will be in the form of a richly illustrated and well formatted, professional pdf file as this is the quickest and most cost-effective. Thereafter we will spend the additional time to get it into print. Erik and I have totally reworked the les-visible.com store back-end for this one. Now I won't be coming back to you to ask for extra moola for shipping (smiles). We've solved the problems to be able to ship around the world (if there is a 'ship' (grins).
Andjres - nice to see you commenting here!
Much love!
It is time to pay the piper. It is not just the Zionists, it is the human species in general. There has been wars and destruction for ages. Read about Alexander the Great,the Crusades and countelss other horror stories visited upon mankind by mankind.(funny word that, as there is nothing kind about it ). Same story different day.
Perhaps the Mayan Calender shows this vicious cycle coming to an end and human consciousness gets to take a giant leap.

Neko, if you get to choose what will be, you are blessed. If you get a direction, you must think there is one, that's amazing. I used to think surfing infinity was scary, and to be put off, and avoided. I am younger now, and the inertia wears off, I swear. It's a hell of a thing to be blown around by all of this, and for that to matter in a way that only loose pieces of puzzles tend to see it, when not busy with other things.
There is no blind, you can see with your eyes closed, you know this- that darkness is just so bright it seems less visible.

Changing the way things are done? What, do you mean, at somewhere quicker than an arthritic snail's pace?
4 months on, I'm still waiting on the Smoking Mirrors T Shirt
...Let's pass that idea on to those of us with the abilities to make that vision real
Indeed.
'For most people, reality has to fit their dimensions of it and in a certain way it does, right up until it encounters reality...'
Les, that made me laugh, until I thought; 'Hang on a minute...'
In an uncomfortable way, I can actually understand why some people 'adjust' reality to suit themselves. I'm not talking about the sheep or the 'kissasses', but about all the genuinely good but bewildered people out there who are wondering what the fuck is going on in the world, who are deeply hurt by what they can see happening to other people in their names; in other words, those who haven't found the right blogs on the web, such as yours, or who just don't have access to a computer, and who have no guidence about becoming 'centered'. It must be karma, right? I think most people who come here now were like that at times before you and others enlightened them about the true state of the world and themselves, yes? I know I was. I don't mean this to sound materialistic in any way, but thank god for the Internet!
Btw, les, katz is right about 'the
Ides of Something' being 'page not found'. I had to go back into Truethseeker, click on your article, and then click on 'source'. Page loads fine then.

wv: theem - the theem of this website is self-awareness. (Right?)
Unfortunately we are the broken shards and only represent a fraction of the image back, in these times where light gets refracted, the whole image suffers because the laws so given by god are no longer held with great reverence and respect. God is not a respector of people. Therefore the only way we can show our devotion is to keep the law. Pure and simple but not really, seems man has had a very hard time interpreting and practicing the law. And when men become lawless to the point of darkness, the the sun must return to it's place of origin to burn off the dorss. Men of knowledge, there aren't many realize that the act of the sun returning to it's place of origin will be catestrophic but offer no alternative, they will live out their existence in darkness until the fiery lake makes itself known. The heavens move in their time, and in their place, or at least some men believe this, and they are confused by the suns motions, is this supposed to happen every 26500 years or 11,600 years or 1600 years, because it's happening too soon, the laws of the universe depend on all sentient beings obeying the universal laws, and when they don't then the great balance on a personal level, community level, country level, planetary level or universal level will take place. "The sun and the moon are moved out of place" they have moved along different tracts and sped up time and this can all be attributed to men no longer having faith in or practicing the law. It's the law that is divine. And when men rebel against it, then compassion and mercy become judgement and severity, you choose to be ignorant and say you don't know, be we do know we have all lived this before. The ending is no different. Only a few each time smack their collective heads and say I get it. The rest are the lemmings that must by the very nature of the law run enmasse and headfirst into the oncoming waves.
So God gave us the law so that by right actions we would understand the true nature of god and see him as he is. Instead we pretend not to know the answers when they are right in front of us and were given to us etched in stone to abide forever in this world of formation, bringing to fruition the seed of potential in it's time and in it's place.
I will never give up in believing in the seed of potential, hope springs eternal, and we understand that words when chanted right are very high magic.
With the reinstituion of our laws we can close the abyss, sure it's open and we watch as a whole religious people who follow the law are villified and then murdered so that we can play Jezebel and steal their land and oil, they are the true christians being persecuted day and night for his name's sake. We need to perform some high magic and start being responsible for the law.
Magic Words
Glow, glow the magic words you chant
from pen of sacred ink they rant
and all of black returns to white.
In verses of sweet music beat,
beat the magic words replete,
with reversing gloom as shadows retreat
and all the darkness of the night
fades to your utterance of light.
Glow, glow the magic words you chant.
I don't know shiite true dat
TU for the wisdom. I am not deaf anymore, still ignorant, I thought the world was filled with honorable men once long ago. Now I think I see some here. A step in a good direction.

Scott Creighton,
You all fully correct in your evaluation.
The new world order is at its base a group of zionist international bankers lead by Rothschild issuing and controlling all money and thus all governments of the world.
We are now in the end game of this plan. Rothschild and his oligarch bankers own and control 193 private central banks out of 197 countries.
The present world economic crisis is being fomented to enable TPTB to be asked by all governments to implement a singular one world currecy. Once that is achieved the game will be over. The oligarchs and the serfs will be entrenched ad infinitum.
The middle class will cease to exist and 0.01% of the world will own and control 100% of the world's wealth.
"You are not in the club, you and I are not in the club." George Carlin
If we are not in the club then we are destined in the near future to be serfs. That is the game plan of the zionist internation bankers.
IWOOT; Impatience, as see it from this angle, is a good thing (grin). However, there were problems that surfaced a few months ago which threw what looked like a smoothly oiled machine into an engine block seizure and required changes and transitions to get it into operation again. Everything that was in place went out of place and had to be put into place again and that is the place we find ourselves in in the moment. Sooner is better than later, unless you're waiting on death row but later is better than never and has now become sooner.
I don't know about the t-shirts but I don't know much about any of it which is how I like it at the moment. Be assured, you and the several who have written me that it is all on the way. Everything is taking longer these days due to time speeding up, if that makes any sense.
conquered by softness
consumed by all care
dumbfounded calamity
cloud of unfair
forwards and backwards
reached from below
ancient hearts whistle
the winds river blows
on a bow of a heart string
tip of a height
on wings of compassion
the humming birds flight
softly and wholesome
true natures call
formed in the heavens
deeply in all
..peace..

Wow Les, this was such a great piece. We are so much in the same place. What you are talking about, has happened to me. I resisted, and resisted, and resisted, and when it all came crushing down, I thought to myself "I'm finished". Some water has run into the sea, and my eyes have opened. I can't believe what I had previously held onto, completely worthless and empty things.
I am so at peace, so calm. Filled with gratitude. Gratitude for things that I always took for granted.
The last three mornings when I woke up, there was always some revelation in my head, and a feeling associated with it. The feeling is always good, some healing had occurred during my sleep, some burden lifted.
This morning when I woke up, I knew that there was much darkness here on earth, but it wasn't a bad feeling. I basically was being told that everyone whose eyes have opened to what matters, should live it, radiate it, and spread it.
That's all we could do, and nothing else is more important than radiating the love of the Creator.
I read this article this morning: Israel Abandoned - http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2011/09/2011911143050712162.html
The winds of change are blowing. Those who bought into the lie of elitism, superiority, seperation and hate have some tough lessons ahead of them. Guilt is the teacher, love is the lesson. Due to personal experience, I know that to be true.
So long fellow traveler, I always look forward to your latest musings.
consuming all difficulty
concentrating within devout
irrespective of indifference
the complications of all doubt
inspired within all virtue
residing in the flame
where eternity regenerates
the ancients loving way
playing on the mountain
a reach of ever far
drawing through the sequencies
softness of a heart
the arts of all compassion
evers gracefull stream
resonate the frequencies
vibrating on the dream
..peace..
If we are in fortunate aspect to the divine then we are permitted to know what we need to know, for as long as we need to know it, or until it is changed into something else.
This is true. Although, one can only presume how much of someone else's knowledge and information comes from divine sources and how much of it is simply human hubris. I would venture to say no one can ever really be certain what another persons source is as some people are just extremely clever con artists. Examples are abundant, if only actually apparent well after the fact. Which is why we are admonished to constantly consult inner truth and inner source every step of the way.
These are present in the secret places of Nature and yourself. Finding them is an art that is seldom (if ever) accomplished on your own.
Can indeed be accomplished with enough hard work applied in the right ways towards the right source.

God is not a respector of people.
I don't understand what you mean by that. :)

This is very well stated. Good on ya anon. We have been through this already, we know what the deal is. Ignorance is NOT bliss and it IS a choice. If only we'd all choose wisely...
The effect of one's words, so I hear, is relative to the quality, purity, and intention of the one expressing them. I think of Sufi Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee whose words radiate such a warm energy; his connection with the higher aspects of love are evident to me.
God's law is ever present all around us via the beauty and wonder of Nature... unfortunately for me, the area I live in continues to become more developed. Much of the natural landscape is disappearing in favor of paved roads/highways/overpasses and other ugly man made eyesores. I need to get the sam hill out of here.
a rumble through the windsors
crashing through the fall
the decrepid mask of error
collapsed by truth in all
the halls of all the victims
small into the great
piercing through existance
falsehood faces fate
broken ravaged shadows
haunting guilt of past
the house of ill repute
by the heavens grasped
israhells disfunction
the lies that built a wall
trapped within itself
the place where evil falls
..peace..

The arguments for it are all based on false and fabricated history.
Have you looked at the House of Rothschild Coat of Arms and do you understand the symbology of the ancient emblems and motifs that adorn it?

I find that very confusing that you think it can be achieved by hard work in the right direction. I've never run across a bonafide authority who agreed with that and I can't imagine you would say this unless you have achieved it. You have achieved "The Great Work"? If not, how can you say it's possible under one's own efforts?
I take my position from the position held by those who have attained it and this is what they say. A reading of The Emerald Tablet confirms this, depending on one getting the sense of it and ageless wisdom states it is an operation of the angel through the one transformed and not accomplished by human agency. Jesus Christ was more than specific about all of this too.
Can indeed be accomplished with enough hard work applied in the right ways towards the right source.
Accomplished on your own and by yourself, that is. Personal, individual experience is one of the hallmarks of this interesting age, I believe.
"I've never run across a bonafide authority who agreed with that."
Mr. Visible, the only 'bonafide authority' I know of is God and one's personal individual connection to and with source.
"I take my position from the position held by those who have attained it and this is what they say. A reading of The Emerald Tablet confirms this."
Written tomes are not the only source of knowledge or wisdom.
True teachers and men and women of attainment only suggest and point in the general direction. Certainly, no one who's attained takes all the credit. However, hardwork, earnestness, and proper intention are always rewarded from on high. Who goes unaided by powers either seen or unseen?
Jesus said many things, among them: "What I have done, you can do also and greater than this, for I go unto my Father." And, "With God, ALL things are possible."

A warning to internet truthtellers in the form of two murdered people hanging from a bridge in Mexico with a handwritten sign beside them denouncing truthtelling on blogs about drug cartels.
My spider senses tell me this is actually the zionist establishment getting really rattled by all the internet blog truth coming out about them and their evil work.
The hanging got MSM (CNN) coverage and looks to be a scare tactic for truthseekers and tellers to stop exposing the truth about zionism, 9/11, etc.

IWOOT, I have two alternatives for you. If you are so much in a hurry, take the artwork, go to the nearest t-shirt print shop and print a t-shirt for you. I certainly don't feel I am indebted or I owe you a t-shirt. We're not Walmart or a derivative and we are not 'in business' to 'satisfy the consumer' or 'respond to the demands of the market'.
Alternatively offer your help to get the design onto ladies t-shirts, men's t-shirts, winter jackets, hoodies and so on. Do remember the artwork has to be redone for this use. Once the design is on, offer your help to work out pricing, packing, logistics and figure out international shipping and tax issues. After all that, you will certainly have a t-shirt.
For me you will have to wait until Spiritual Survival in a Temporal World is released.

Nope, uh uh and you're also splitting hairs in the wrong direction. You admit everyone has help and then you say people can do it on their own, no they can't and I'm still waiting to hear that you have accomplished it because if you haven't then the point is moot.
You can believe what you want. I have no quarrel with that but I don't agree with you and I'd be very, very surprised for you to turn out to be right because I have NEVER heard of it happening. At a certain point all of these things are conferred and some part of that I do know from personal experience.
Here are your own words-
"However, hardwork, earnestness, and proper intention are always rewarded from on high. Who goes unaided by powers either seen or unseen?"
and that is exactly what I maintain, so I really don't get your point.

The reward is not always roses and candy.
Sometimes, if you're fortunate, you get a good smack.

Job in the OT indicates contrarywise, at least as far as logic and adult minds can comprehend. But that was the old bastard God. The new bastard promises reward in heaven. Earth sucks either way.

"breathing in I know I am breathing in.
breathing out I know I am breathing out."

A rudimentary exercise in "mindfulness" that I've actually been practicing. He builds upon this exercise in his books. Last week I acquired "Calm Ease Smile Breathe" which includes a CD with Thich leading a guided meditation in "breathing in....breathing out"

The only thing predictable about any forthcoming atrocity is the sheer audacity that will accompany it, and how quickly it will be integrated into the stream of consciousness as fact. More than this, it will facilitate the continued slaughtering abroad. Vanna White will still be spinning her letters though. So, look on the bright side!! : )
You see, 10 years ago I made the naive assumption that "they" will really be "going for it" this time.
I didn't expect Vanna White, Superbowls, Brangelina, Kardashian, et al to still be "relevant" in 2011.
We are not the generation who will see the much ballyhooed "new world order". They seem to prefer a slow mind-numbing war of attrition. Like a good lover, they want to prolong the pleasure and not make orgasm the sole goal.
My sense of "justice" must be so contrary to the "divine's" as to make its manifestation unrecognizable if and when it does.

Modern physics, in the hands of Albert Einstein, has turned almost into mysticism.
Nobody has noted the fact, because mystics don’t understand modern physics and the physicists do not care about the mystics.
The mystics have always experienced that they are one, but nobody has listened to them.
Perhaps man was not mature enough to understand the depth of their declaration.
The mystics have simply expressed the oneness of all.
Physicists go into detail.
Albert Einstein, especially, was the first scientist to come to the conclusion that time is the fourth dimension of matter.
Matter has three dimensions, the fourth dimension is invisible and that is time, but it is not separate from matter.
Modern physics has declared – without declaring the death of matter – that there is no matter at all.
With the disappearance of matter and with the death of God, only one energy remains in the whole cosmos.
Now time and space cannot be two.
They have to be expressions of one energy.
Spacetime.
But the mind can succeed only as far as science is concerned, it cannot succeed in religious consciousness.
One has to understand that the methodology that works for the outer cannot work for the inner.
Simply because the inner is the opposite dimension, the same methods will not be applicable.
You will have to find new methodology for the inner.
And that is meditation.
The mind cannot understand that which is beyond words; it can understand only that which is linguistically, logically right.
It can only conceive very limited things.
It has no intelligence of its own; it is a memory system.
You feed it certain information, it will keep it on record.
Whenever you want, it will supply it.
An intelligent man’s mind is capable of containing all the information that is in all the libraries of the world – it is almost infinite.
But mind is simply a collection of memories of the past, and – out of those memories – imagination about the future.
Understanding this whole process, one thing becomes certain: why the mind avoids the present, which is the real, and why it tries to get involved with past and future, which are not real.
God is a need for the mind, because the mind cannot conceive infinite, eternal things.
God simply is not there.
A man of meditation knows there is no God other than life itself.
God is simply the poverty of human consciousness.
God exists because you are not aware of yourself.
The moment you know yourself, there is no God and there is no need of any God.
When I say there is no God, I am not saying that I disbelieve in God; even for disbelief, God has to be.
I am simply saying there is no God, has never been – all definitions are inventions.
When you come to reality there is no negativity, no positivity.
So there is no question of atheism or theism.
The whole world of polarities is transcended.
But the mind cannot conceive how contradictions can meet, how polarities can be one.
Yet in existence they are meeting, they are one.
Reality is herenow.

"The mind cannot understand that which is beyond words; it can understand only that which is linguistically, logically right."
bs. obviously the author has no working knowledge of the human brain.
the mind interprets and acts on "that which is beyond words" environmental cues even in sleep (unconsciousness).
there are however hemispheric specializations to interpretation of language that are laterally inclined, crossing both hemispheres via the corpus callosum....usually the "logical/linear" left brain's responsibilities dominate language processing, while the 'intuitive' right dominates control/interpretation of emotions/intuition. brains favor a side for some functions, just as people favor a hand to write.
also, many ancient mystery schools performed rites which conveyed knowledge to initiates in utter and 'holy' silence.

Yes, that is why I also said no one takes all of the credit for their effort. Life is full of interesting dichotomies that are in actuality, not so, because there is only one truth. The illusion of separation is just that. When you go to meet someone, if they have not agreed to also meet with you, then no real meeting will take place will it?
You are free to label my personal perspective in whatever way you choose. That is to say, you may name it what you will. However, I will say that this is not meant as an exercise in dissonance.
God is the ultimate authority. No one who has seen God would argue with that. Some people may disagree and that is their choice.
It seems you may be missing my point. Allow me to attempt further clarity in my own very limited way : Since God is all powerful, then anything can be accomplished through God, hence the quotes I used. Anything can be accomplished through God. Once a personal, individual connection with the One is established, which can be sought and found on one's own through one's own will, then anything can be accomplished according to God's will through us. Everything always goes back to the One, hence the quotes I used. I suppose I could have quoted any number of persons but for whatever reason you did mention Jesus specifically. Many have said that God speaks the language of the heart. It has also been said that out of the abundance of the heart issues forth the words from our mouth.
I only attempt to speak from my own inner source which anyone is free to disagree with. Everyone must be true to the voice within. Special heed must be taken when that voice is only faintly heard. It is unwise to blindly accept the word of another without first measuring it carefully against the source within.
I mean to stress the personal, individual, inner connection for without that nothing good can be accomplished. God, and connection to and with inner source, can be sought and found through one's own will and efforts. I believe that is the gift God has given to all of humanity. Intermediaries and the like are strictly unnecessary. Everyone has outside help should they choose to accept it, however, they could also choose not to accept that help and still connect with source if that is their choice. It is all a matter of how and what one chooses.
Life here on Earth is only what we make of it, to use the old cliche. Life is a series of choices that are a part of what our given free will to choose is all about.
The abundance of God's blessings has lead me to believe that the love of God is so great that whether or not we seek or make use of outside assistance (rather than inner) in our searching, one will find God if it is God's will, in concert with our own will and our own effort. Everything goes back to the One. All of creation answers to the One. Pardon if that is not clear enough or too verbose.
And I did not answer your question about my personal endeavors because there is no need for me to - that and I already stated that dissonance is not the purpose of this writing. That aside, whatever my accomplishments or lack thereof, I know I am only ever accountable to the ultimate authority. But aren't we all?
Good day.
"The reward is not always roses and candy.
Sometimes, if you're fortunate, you get a good smack."
I am uncertain what you mean exactly, but I have seen that one's own actions can turn on oneself if one trespasses on God's domain. Which is yet another reason why the personal, individual connection is so utterly vital.
via Homer..
First, of all there is nothing which isn't God's domain.
How is that possible? It's not.
Second, think about it..
Roses, candy, gold, palaces, women and wine, even the very very special blessing of good health are all material sense objects which while awarding temporary pleasure are not in any way comparable to the Personal spiritual touch of the Lord, be it a caress, a smack or off with your head.
Of these there's no difference. See?
When I say God's domain, I am referring to things that only God can do for only God has the authority or power to do them. I, being human, do not possess God's authority to do or to perform certain acts. God has abilities and rights that are beyond me, as I am not the author of creation.
In my arrogance I have oft let myself be led astray by not listening to my inner guidance which was telling me what was really going on and what I should and should not be doing. We all have limits that we must accept.
I apologize for not being clear enough...
via Homer..
No offense taken, no apology necessary but the gesture is felt, thanks.
