Unity

“The World unwraps itself, again and again, as we are ready to see it anew.” *
*From the book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, by Gregory Maguire

{{Secret Simon}}, the foundation of ALL of our society’s and religions, Worldwide, have been based on separation. And in the philosophies of the East, there are just as many ideas of separation, as in any Western one.

What is NOW considered ‘obsolete’, is any spiritual understanding based on separation. What is NOW considered ‘new’, is genuine Spiritual Understanding. I say genuine, simply because it is based on Unity, from a perspective of Unity.

Which is what none of our beliefs have had before.

Spirit, as representative of the Absolute, pervades All, encompasses All, embraces All, IS All. By Nature of the very definition of “Absolute”. NO exclusions.

Spirit Unifies.

It’s our ‘egos’ that choose to divide.

Look at ‘ego’ for a moment. Ego. I go. Ever wondered about the “I”? Maybe I go one way, in an attitude based on separation and, because I‘m an “I“, I get to experience that which I‘ve Imagined. I go another way, an Integrated way and “I” get to experience something else. Either way, I go. e-go.

It’s a matter of direction and purpose. Analysis or synthesis? Away or towards. Breathe in, Breathe out. Expand, contract.

Choices.

Without “I“, there is no ‘go’. Without “e“, there’s no going anyplace, either.

“E-go” goes and “e-motion” is the result! ‘e‘ is the esoteric symbol for Consciousness.

So the first thing I share in regards to many of our eastern beliefs, is that ridding ourselves of ‘ego’ and directing ‘ego’ are two different things, with two vastly different results. One creates a personal Identity of Zero. The other creates a personal Identity of One.

Choices. Do we choose to relate the Identity of the Absolute to Zero or to One? An Almighty Something or an Almighty Nothing?

Hmmm….I ask my Heart. What feels better? Thinking of myself as worth nothing or worth something?

One time my response to one of us who was endeavoring to merge themselves with dust was, “If you choose to identify yourself with dirt, don’t whine about being a victim when someone shows up and treats you like a clod.”

The desire to negate the value of our Identity always ends up in insanity or suicide. The Universe is Servant to our choices.

Separation…in the East, while ‘nirvana’ may be reached in awareness, this awareness is non-functional in terms of translation. Ideas are not brought down to earth in ways that benefit and uplift physical circumstances. It is seen as a far off goal for most. That, in itself, is Separation.

There’s no Creation going on. No translating of ideas into form. ‘Nirvana’ is not being “brought down to earth” and translated into forms that would assist others in our daily lives.

So what if ‘nirvana’ can be attained by sitting on our ass and ‘om-ing’ a few bars, daily, hourly, whatever…? Big deal. I am not impressed.  What Hope and Inspiration is THAT, for the man who is eeking out his daily bowl of rice and doesn’t have time to sit on his ass all day? Who lives in one of our cities where it is illegal to beg? What Hope and Inspiration is THAT for the man driving to work everyday for a paycheck that’s already spent before he gets it? What Hope and Inspiration is THAT for the single Mother who’s not only working to support her family but be a nurturing presence for her kids, too?

Even the beautiful Being, the Dali Llama, admits he’s not an ‘enlightened one’.  And he’s an Honest individual.  He knows he’s not embodying that principal, even though there are many, that look to him as a pinnacle of achievement.  Once consciousness expanded, that ‘pinnacle’ wasn’t a ‘pinnacle’ any more.

In the East it is not our Spiritual nature that is denied but, our form. The East negates the value of ‘Mother’. You can’t both have a ‘spiritual life’ and have much of a physical one, too.

Abundance within is being given no expression. Whatever ‘peace’ has been found, the beauty of it hasn’t been shared in ways that have increased the standard of living among the believers.

Ever seen a monk pregnant?

Creativity just isn’t their bag, obviously. It’s hard to be Creative when we cut ourselves off from our lower half’s. A half is still a half, whether top or bottom.

Ministering was the tone and the essence of our Past 2000 years. Conscious creation is the tone and the essence of the next 2000 years.

Color Spirit personable. Something abstractions just don’t have. If we desire…aspire…to connect and merge, then imagine an image that is ATTRACTIVE. Personally, Attractive. The stronger the DESIRE, the more POWERFUL the ATTRACTION.

An abstraction is not attractive. It has no power of attraction, for there is no heart feeling involved, no Love, no DESIRE. I can love an abstraction with my mind, I can admire it but, I can’t lay down at night and cuddle with it. Thinking about an abstraction doesn’t create any kind of experience of warm fuzzies within me. There’s no comfort in it.

Don’t negate Desire, DIRECT it.

{{Secret Simon}} Imagine your own Spiritual Presence as ‘female’, since you are decidedly polarized as ‘male’, physically. Share with your wife to imagine her Spiritual presence as a ‘male’, since she is polarized as ‘female’, physically. Make these figures young, VIRILE and, full of Vitality, every single aspect of Glorious you can imagine. Imagine an image that creates a FIRE of PASSION in your Heart, a yearning for, an EXCITEMENT for.

Then visit this idea daily, hourly, whatever… but, do it with a rhythm. The more attention and energy it gets, the closer to manifestation it will become.

From conception to birth, the idea of a child takes a while. During this time of ‘pregnancy’, the idea is being fed energy and with that energy, starts taking on the form of the pattern or, the idea. This is the process of Creation, whether it is a child of our body, our minds or our souls.
