What Is Reality Examining Definition. =W I R E D .

"There is no plurality in absolute reality" a quote from an older blog of mine. To start this blog of
the first thing needed to be said is, which actual reality are we talking about? Because there are
basically two perceptions of reality. One is relative reality, which is dual in nature, this is called
the relative physical universe, the one we all call home, and one that is full of opposites like male
and female, right and wrong, yes and no, this is the YIN and YANG universe, however this physical
universe which exists like an "outer field" from one that lies "beneath it", and this one is called
Absolute reality, and here there exists basically NOTHING -and EVERYTHING both at the same time,There is zero duality,there is NO MOTION WHATSOEVER, and as the relative universe can
be somewhat described in a manner that "seems" to make sense, in other words it is describable
the absolute universe of reality can seem to be totally indescribable, and all words seem to fail,
here I think the operative word is "seem" to fail, the ancient ones would leave it to the words that
it just "IS" if you move from the IDEA of what "IS" you fall into a minefield of basically meaningless words, which we need to understand is that all WORDS are relative! A  relative cannot
ever describe an Absolute, therefore all words fail miserably.  This will not however stop me using them!!  There is a parallel forming within the leading researchers in quantum physics and unified
field theory, with that of the ancient knowledge and wisdom contained within the Bhagavad Gita
This research is revealing that the wisdom of the past knew exactly what the universe was made of
and that ultimately it all RESOLVED INTO ONE! Way beyond duality! Way beyond such illusions
as time and space, and way beyond the very idea of such a THING as THINGS! In absolute reality
there is NO PLURAL of THING> THE additional letter "S" does not exist in absolute reality, it
only seems to exist in our level of reality.
If you look into the mirror, what do you actually see? You see a reflection of an outer form (your
body) veiling an inner reality, we only even see the outer reflection, we NEVER SEE the inner
reality! In that sense reality is always  hidden from our eyes, but not from our perceptual consciousness? Quantum physics and unified field theory have also left duality behind, some of
them, but not all of them!  They see a unified field of energy, some are even BOLD enough to
mention the word CONSCIOUSNESS as the unified field, ONE FIELD of energy consciousness
It does not then take a great leap of thought that perhaps even this consciousness field which is
by the way SUPER INTELLIGENT could also be called SPIRIT. Tomorrow will go deeper into
this vast and tiny subject and see what the COST actually is COST meaning Consciousness-Of
Spirit-Truth=COST??

Stun The Egoic Mind. S T E M Part two.

The very point of no-sense is that it jars the logical mind (ego), that is what a Zen Koan is all about.
We need to be ever mindful that we are both logical and illogical beings, and that emotional logic
is often at odds with logical logic.
If we are at a point in our lives, where we may feel the need for some depth and perhaps some direction, then we have arrived at a point, where looking within us, and seeing what lies beneath
the surface of our being, seems like a good idea. There are many ways of looking within ourselves
and each of us finds their own way to this, there are many types of meditation and yoga that you can try, each method has its own values, you do the choosing. The easiest way I have always found is
just to sit quietly and just observe your breath, letting go of all thoughts and distractions. One thing
that often happens though,it that we reach what could be called a mental plateau, and are unable to
go any deeper into ourselves. when this occurs, and it very often does, we need some ammunition
to blast us past this plateau, and it comes by way of a koan, what you need then is no-sense that
will help you through the door that leads to wisdom and intuitive teaching. You have first got to
loose yourself, in order to find yourself!! Does that make any sense to you? Let go of yourself
in order to find yourself? Is that logical? Be still in order to move forward! What does that mean?
When we journey within ourselves we encounter a differing energy matrix, this matrix is very often
much more akin to your emotional self, your illogical self, intuition which we will encounter if we
venture within ourselves, will open up ideas and feelings within you, these are doorways to inner wisdom, which is not always  logical, and can make us feel very emotional, even bring us to tears
these tears that may at first be ones of sadness, as we remember lost opportunities presented to us
by this intuitive insight, but as we persevere with this venture within, those tears will be ones of
inner joy. We need to ignore the ego and the logical mind, because they both want us firmly in their
grasp, and fear that if we find out more about who we really are, they may well become redundant!
They both have their place to play in your life, but always remember that YOU ARE THE MASTER
Not the ego or mind. You are,or need to be Captain of your ship, You are a soul in human form, and
can rise above the dictates of the ego and mind, in truth you actually created both of them!! So look
at the use of koans, write some down for yourself, and see how very useful they can be.
Warmest regards Michael.

Stun The Egoic Mind. S T E M

I did a couple of blogs some months back now about the principle behind ZEN Koans, and also
a few I made up as well. Well I think it is time to maybe re-look at this practice,as it is so important
in leading us into the right direction, if we are searching within us for the answers to what is life
all about, and why are we all here? The very essence of a Zen koan, is not to make any sense, its
ultimate purpose is to STUN the MIND, to make the mind reel and twist in trying to understand
its meaning. Its purpose is illogical and for a good reason. To give a comparison with knowledge
and wisdom, knowledge in essence divides, and is dry and dusty, devoid of moisture, whereas
wisdom unites, and is moist akin to the emotions. The logical mind separates and divides, the
illogical in the mind can "feel" that something is right,even though it cannot quite see why. That
is the difference. If we are trying to find out who we really, if we are serious in looking within
ourselves, there are some stumbling blocks that stand in your way, the first one is the ego, and the
second one is your mind, these two constructs of "yourself" are built up from your memory and
all your experiences up to this very day. The ego at first may appear very "keen" and helpful to
you, saying things like, this will really be very helpful to you, well done! But as you go deeper
into yourself, the ego feels threatened, and will then attempt to undermine all your efforts.
The surficial mind will sow doubts on your efforts as well, because it cannot understand what
you are endeavouring to do, it does not make sense to the logical mind. That is why we need some
illogical help along the way. This helps us to smash through barriers erected by the ego and logical
mind. This is where koans come to the rescue, because they are designed to stun the mind, make it
recoil, then an opening can be make through your emotional self, your emotional mind, and then
you can penetrate deeper into your inner being. Here is a koan I just made up for this blog;
"If you are going around in circles, will a square round of your day?" Now this does not make
any sense! And that is the VERY POINT it is meant to be SENSELESS! Illogical! Just like
this other one i have just made up, "will a fish that flies, open doors for me?" Now look at these
"koans" and what do you actually see THERE? NO-SENSE maybe, what's the point of all this
No_SENSE? All I want to do is find myself, you say! Well that's okay, but it is not as simple as
it may appear, as you will find out.
In part two will explore this deeper, Warmest regards Michael.

Spirals Of Life Examined. S O L E part Two.

In the first blog on this topic of spirals, I identified three main spirals that affect all our lives in differing ways, and to greater and lesser intensity, plus I mentioned that there were several variables
that radiate from these three main spirals, and affect us all in greater or lesser degrees.
We need to understand that we all our reflections of universal law and harmony, and that the primary
universal law is that all motion arises from complete stillness, and at the core matrix there is a point
from which all rotation arises. Our lives echo this basic universal law, we all our centered within
a point  of stillness, that point is our soul, or higher self, within this center there is stillness, away
from that center there is motion, and motion is subject to universal law, and universal dictates that
all motion  is rotational on its axis, for rotational, read, vortex, or spiral.all motion is basically
energy,this is why energy moves, in spiraling formations, and remember we are one hundred per
cent ENERGY!!
We can all move in basically three directions, with slight variations within these, we can spiral down
and incur  dis ease misery, madness and eventually death, or we can go round in endless horizontal
circles, stuck in a rut, and going no where fast! Or we can embrace the vertical spiral, that will lead
us into wholeness and peace of mind.
The choice is ours dear reader of this blog. If we decide to look within ourselves we are without knowing it aligning ourselves to universal natural law, by going within is the pathway and direction
of STILLNESS, within ourselves lies the HOME of STILLNESS, and from stillness comes clarity
and understanding, you spiritually, not physically, start ascending within a vertical spiral and this
spiral starts at a point within you and starts rotating in ever expanding circles, that exactly parallel
the level of your consciousness and awareness. As you get into the daily habit of looking within
and practicing either meditation or yoga, you inner life will begin to expand and you will begin
experiencing inner calm and relaxation, you will in effect be harmonizing your self with univeral
law, and expanding your levels of consciousness and perception. You will begin to find an inner
orbit of silence and stillness.
For those who are stuck in the downward spiral (as I was once) there can be hope, if we reach out and ask for help. I was only given three months to live forty three years ago now, am am still very much alive, because with lots of help, I was able to embrace the vertical spiral, and find soul realization in
the process, you too dear reader of this blog, can do the same thing. And for those of you who are
going around in endless circles,getting nowhere fast,you too can get of that MERRY GO ROUND
that you are on, and ask for help or counselling and reset your life, on a more positive direction.
Warmest regards Michael.

Spirals Of Life Examined. S O L E .

This blog is about the spirals of life, that occur within each of our experiences of living our
lives. These observations of mine are born out of over forty years of living and examining not
only my own life, but also the many others that I encountered in both a counselling role, and
also managing and living in several therapeutic  homes that were primarily for drug and alcohol
addictions. What I began to discover was that there seems to be three main spirals that affect our
lives, and that within these three spirals were several minor variations, that impacted upon us in greater or lesser degrees.
The first spiral was the most intense, and one that I encountered many times while working with
drug and alcohol dependents, this spiral seemed to taper downwards, and would be literally
sucking the vital energy out of its host.This spiral was loaded with fear and extreme anxiety
and also had the awful effect of speeding up the thought processes, at times to the point of
extreme agitation and mental and emotional breakdowns, their thought processing was like
that of "shooting the rapids" uncontrollable thinking. If this particular spiral is left unchecked
then the results are most dire, you will either die, go insane, or need hospital treatment for
several months.
The second spiral seems to circulate in a horizontal  orbit  around its particular host, sometimes
called a edifying vortex, this spiral is about replication, going round and around endlessly and
getting no where fast. Doing the same thing daily, and sometimes expecting different results,
this is sometimes called the definition of insanity! While we are caught in this backwater,
literally going round in endless circles, our actual lives are "on hold"  we are not growing, we
are not learning anything new,the ebb and flow of this second spiral can actually turn into the
first spiral if the rotation  of the spiral gets more intense, and we fail to see what is happening to us,
if we have some insight, and can ask for help and support from say a good friend or relative, we can
then slow down the flow of this motion that circles us, and just like stepping out of a hoop, we can
re-emerge ourselves back into the healthy flow of life.
We now come into the final spiral of life and living experience, this spiral opens up vertically and
as it does it literally pulls in vital force, which is vital energy, this spiral is ever expansive  and opens
us up to the living experience of becoming self aware of who we really are, and expands our levels
of consciousness and perceptions.
To be continued tomorrow. Warmest regards Michael.

Dance Of Creation Knowingness. D O C K Part Two.

The dance of life, which is our living experience that we all get  as we dance(motion) our way
from being born, childhood, teens, and adulthood.  each part of our life is expressed in differing
motions (dance steps), some hopefully, will be concordant and  have a natural rhythm showing
symmetry in motion, other times there will be stumbling and discordance, like when we are ill
or have mental and emotional disharmony in our lives.Why do you think we are here? Why are
you here on earth dear reader of this blog? If as this blog suggests, that life or creation is a dance
of knowingness, then what is it we really need to know? What is it that you could somehow know
that would benefit your life and your creation? Do you think that you were just born, to live four
score and ten years then die, and in between birth and death you went to school, got a job, got
married, had kids, then died, is that's what it is ALL ABOUT! Or is there perhaps another dimension
in this dance of life that you have never considered? When a ship docks in a harbor what does it do,
well it often unloads all its cargo, for cargo,( read old worn out ideas that you have carried all your life) to unload, get rid of this dead weight, and then take on fresh supplies, (new ideas) where can
then these new ideas come from? Well unlike the ship in dock whose supplies come from various
warehouses, your supplies can actually come from within YOU! The dance of creation is one of
awareness and consciousness expansion, life will teach you different steps as you venture deeper
into the matrix and womb of "living motion", we all our living motioning beings, dancing to the
tune of life as we understand it, now here the key word is our "understanding" of life. the more
we understand life the more symmetry and rhythm will be evidenced in our lives and experiences.
To find out the answer as to what is life? Just look and understand yourself, because you are
the very embodiment of that principle LIFE. You dear reader of this blog are not only a living
being, what you actually are, and maybe completely UNAWARE OF, is that you are also LIFE
and life is a PRINCIPLE, which means it is an IMMUTABLE ETERNAL CONSTANT! NOT
your physical body, because the physical body is NOT WHO YOU REALLY ARE, your body
is only a vehicle and is NOT A PRINCIPLE,  only your soul and spirit are LIFE and therefore
a principle. So look within yourself, we each have our very own inner GURU or master, and that
is your higher self, the soul. Look within yourself and DOCK tie-up, to that hidden harbor that
lies deep within you, then you will find yourself, you will find great peace and comfort,and harmony
and joy will suddenly befriend you, much to your astonishment.
Warmest regards Michael.

Dance.Of Creation Knowingness. D O C K

Dance and motion are one of the same,all is motion, all is expression, we are all movers and shakers
of a living melody, some of us are in-tune with the motion of wellness and wholeness, others are
out-of -tune and the discordant motion manifests illness in mind and body.We awaken here on earth
born out of the womb and into a blank canvas of un-knowingness , we will each be given memories
of all we experience from day one of birth. These experiences and memories  will shape us into what
we will become,we will construct an ego and have a thing called mind,the ego is a construct or mind
entity that emotionally attaches itself to ideas,creating an unreal identity, thus distancing itself further
and further from the "here and now"the ego is simply who we think we are.But what we think we are
and what we really are, are two different things! Energy has a wave particle nature and can exist as
a wave or particle, so does consciousness, consciousness has the ability to locate its awareness
anywhere it chooses to do so, similarly it has the power to seemingly create something out of
"no-thing-ness"! Yet as an energy, both consciousness and energy can become fixed and rigid
localized in a particular frozen form with little or no freedom of movement (like in the body you
now inhabit?)  Mind is a property of consciousness, and ego is only a construct of the mind  as to what the mind thinks it is, as long as we have memory we will hold onto the ego. The mind can
be seen as a particle of "localized consciousness" with a limited freedom of movement due to our
basic ignorance as to what we really are. This however, can be radically changed if we taken certain steps, that will lead us into further harmonic resonance with the dance of creative splendor and
radiant bliss.  If we go back to when you were born, the first thing you see is hopefully your mother
and you instinctively try and reach out to her, this is the beginning of forever "LOOKING OUTWARD" and many spend their entire lives doing only that, then die!  If we want to gain MORE
FREEDOM of MOVEMENT, we have to turn our gaze inwards. If we want to expand our localized
consciousness we have to look within ourselves, then our localized mind, can begin to merge with
non-localized consciousness,we can then DOCK LINKUP with our true eternal identity that of the
soul, when that begins to DOCK, then your DANCE within the living light will take many more
degrees of freedom, and the prison without bars that has confined you all your life,(without you ever
knowing or thinking you were in a prison) you will then begin the dance of life consciously.
In part two will explore this further, warmest regards Michael
