The following is what I wrote in a private message to {{{Simon}}}}. I asked his permission to post what I wrote *here*. And he graciously and generously gave it.
“When I lived alone, it never felt quite *real*. It’s as though we’re here on this physical plane to relate to other people, and if we’re not doing that then it doesn’t feel quite right – except for limited periods of time. But just one person is all that is really needed.”
One of the greatest ’secrets’ of Life I discovered, was that every single relationship I had ever had in Life, was a mirror of how I related to myself. ALL our relationships to one another, are mirrors of how our ‘human’ self sees itself in relationship to our ‘divine’ self. In this way we are all mirrors of each other. That is the reason why at the time of our 1st awakening, many of our relationships change. Some people leave, as others enter. The ‘inside’ has changed, in the way we see ourselves, in the way we relate to ourselves and so the outside changes to match.
It’s the Law of Attraction. It’s the Law of Correspondences.
That’s why I keep saying the key to the outside lies inside. We have to be at Peace, within ourselves, with ourselves, before our relationships will mirror this Peace.
Whatever we claim to perceive in our World, exists inside our head before we can claim to see it. The whole idea of ‘evil’ or ‘conflict’ has to be within us, we have to believe it exists, before we can claim to see proof of it in our world. Such is the reason I keep saying where you see ‘conflict’, I see ‘cooperation’, because you’re not seeing the conflict within the people themselves, that has drawn the conflict to be mirrored to them. Each side in any conflict is merely a point on the same rubber band. All energy seeks resolution, a state of balance and ’stillness’. A state of ‘complete’. Such is the reason any rubber band will snap, once it is extended…to resolve the energy of tension, to come to a state of being ‘at peace’ with itself.
To heal, is to reconcile the ‘two brothers’, the two aspects. And at the root of the trouble, is the idea of ‘or’, for it triggers our ‘human self’s’ survival fears. That’s why I keep saying ‘and’. There is only ‘and’, no such thing as ‘or’, so there is no need to fear.
You think of yourself as a physical being and I know for a fact you already know yourself to be more then that. How much more is questionable but you already know yourself to be more then simply a purely physical being. Always have known it, too. Just never realized it.
I dare you….(grinning)
Take any 3rd dimensional set of weights & measures and tell me how much you feel? A liter? A ton? A meter? How much?
Next, using the same set of tools, what are the weight or depth of your thoughts?
You’re going to be faced with 2 choices.
Choice #1: Since neither feelings or thoughts can be measured with any 3rd dimensional set of weights and measures, since they cannot be proved, they do not exist.
Choice #2: Since neither feelings or thoughts can be measured with any 3rd dimensional set of weights and measures, and everyone experiences them, they must exist in another dimension besides the 3rd. And because we can sense them, so must we.
Our physical bodies are like tips of an iceberg, one spoke of a great wheel. You’ve been aware of your mental body and your emotional body all your life but never realized these bodies cannot be “3d”.
“3d” bodies are for the purpose and enjoyment of expressing the other dimensions, what’s within. It’s the one spoke that gives expression TO all the others. For you are correct, ”Joy” is only and can only be created by one means. Love’s extension. That’s where other people come into play. And why I keep repeating we can only give as good as we got. Again, directing us within to the relationship we have with ourselves, so that we may give to ourselves, then have, to extend to others.
Everywhere you see conflict is because people are trying to “get”. “Give & Take” so the saying goes. I say the saying is a contradiction. “Give” goes with “Have” and “Take” goes with “Get”. Those of us who do not “have”, seek to “get”.
Ask yourself what is being extended, if ‘not having’ is the motivation? Is it need or is it Love? On what fundamental basis, are we building our relationships?
Then start seeing it as the mirror of what’s inside of us. ‘Human’ self imagines ‘love’ means never experiencing things that are less then lala. Being given all we want, whenever we want. Everything going our way, no matter what our way is. And because this is how our ‘human self’ defines ‘love’, doesn’t believe and trust that ‘god’ or our divine self, loves our human self.
It’s because I can see this internal pattern of doubt and fear, that I keep trying to convey there is great confusion and misunderstanding about what ‘love’ even is. What we have called ‘love’ and known in our lives, is NOT ‘love’ at all. It is “need”. And without this veil of misunderstanding, it is OBVIOUS how very much each and every single one of us is UNconditionally loved and supported by the Universe Itself.
Those of us getting the very least out of our lives, those of us who have symbolically taken the value(talent) of our life and buried it in the ground for safe keeping, awaiting Master’s return, are those of us who are so afraid of experiencing anything ‘negative’, that we really don’t experience much of life at all.
What all these ‘peace meditations’ say to me, is to tell me how many Judgments upon Life Itself the participants have. How many experiences in it are condemned and rejected, with annihilating these experiences as a goal. With a desire to limit everyone’s cup of life to only half, since half of life is all the participants know how to handle and embrace.
A desire to make the earth into a version of someone’s gated heaven. A gated ~lala~ land, a kind of like a sanitarium, where all those of us who do not know how to love life, are protected from having to face it.

Thanks, Sue Ann. That’s very clear. Of course I have the usual ‘but’…
You make it sound like ‘heaven on earth’ will be exactly the same as it is at the moment. And of course to some extent I can see that. Of course there will still be problems, still things we might presently label as ‘bad’. That is the nature of earthly existence. The main thing that has changed will be our *attitude* to those things. We will understand that everything is really ‘good’ after all.
But if we look at, say, the twentieth century and all the atrocities that happened during that time, surely such ‘bad’ things as those will no longer happen? There will still be ‘bad’ things but they will be a lesser degree of ‘bad’. That is because, as you say, the outside reflects the inside. When we’re sorted out inside, the world around us will no longer reflect such atrocities.
So we won’t be in ‘la la’ land but a) there will be more fluffy bunnies than there were before and b) we won’t be so scared of the crocodiles which remain.
Do I have that right?

Bravo! I salute you! Understanding is ’sinking in’, as you are integrating more and more of your Soul into your life.
Our twentieth century has seen us mirror the very worst of the density within us. One of the encouraging things about it, is that is has been manifesting, rather then continuing to be successfully repressed and denied.
I see it like a cosmic roto-rooter. As ‘light’ of a higher frequency and pattern has begun coming in, so has it brought things to light that had been hidden. For everything there is a season.
The out breathe of God reaches full extension, a state of greatest experience of separation, then there is a pause, then starts the in breathe of God. We’re solidly in the pattern of in breathe Now. On the Return side, Integrating, what we went on an adventure of imagining being separate from.
We’re living in the same World, on the same earth. Yet, I live in a World I can Trust, Absolutely, while ‘you’ *don’t*. ~blowing raspberries~ lol
What we call “atrocities” are simply expressions of how much we condemn and hate ourselves. Reflections of ALL the conditions we place on our Loving Acceptance.
Take any place in the World we’d tend to label *crappy* and take a look within the people who live there. The beliefs, the values, the religious dogma, and there we will find all the causes for such deplorable conditions. Self Denial. Denial, denial, denial. The more intense the denial, the worse living conditions will be, the fewer comforts of ‘civilization’.
This is what I’ve seen, just over the past 30 years…
The more controlling the entity, the sooner it collapsed. For instance, the “Soviet Union”. It fell from power quite a few years ago. And the very 1st thing that happened, was the little tribal or religious cults started warring upon each other, just like they did and have done century after century, before the strong willed yoke of the Soviet Union kept them all in line, feigning civil behavior because of the use of fear if they didn’t.
When the whip of fear was removed, the peoples started acting in the same barbaric and uncivilized manner that they have done before.
Look at Iraq. Seems to me that not everybody in that nation was displeased with Sadaam. He did, of course, rule with a whip of fear to keep people’s behavior controlled. Again, we have a thin veneer, an appearance of civilized behavior.
Enter Goodsie Two Shoes…”those poor poor people, we’ve got to free them!” So off Dudley Doright goes. Removes ‘bad’ dictator and what happened? Tribal and religious cults begin to behave in the same barbaric ways again. Comforts of a civilized society disappear, in relationship to how fast uncivil behavior shows itself.
The less self disciplined the individuals are in a Society, the less self governing, the less accountability and responsibility for emotional and mental states claimed, the more that Society will look to outside “authorities” to supply that discipline.
Classic self denial. So when I see all of us throughout the world living in it, I see Justice, whereas you see “victims”. If I hate me, the Universe, in Its UNconditional support and Absolute Love for me and of me, will allow and accept that it is by my choice, to experience that hatred being mirrored back to me.
By endeavoring to separate ourselves from the experiences drawn to us, we forever maintain those experiences will be drawn to us, because the cause, within us, has not been addressed. And it is for that reason I will continue to express:
that there are NO such things as “victims”.
I live among bears and mountain lions. But we’ve never been attracted to each other into any state of conflict. And the raccoon was my friend when it took out my neighbor’s rooster, because I didn’t like the rooster to begin with. And I really do enjoy the deer, who are coming all the way into my back yard to eat the pears off our trees.
I guess I could say that I know ‘crocodiles’ are out there but I also know that my world is full of ‘bunnies’.
There is a difference between sympathy and compassion. Sympathy is useless, completely and utterly useless, except for feeding and nurturing self pity. When any one of us claims to be a victim, it is sympathy we are seeking. Our self pity needs the fuel of other people’s attention to feed off of, in order for us to maintain the experience.
Compassion is different. It recognizes responsibility for choices of decision, action and behavior. “I goofed up”. “I screwed up.” “I made a mistake.” “I sure didn’t see this.” It’s ONLY after we claim to be the CAUSE, that we are emPOWERED to do something about the effects.
Once and for all.
Like I keep emphasizing, it’s not Perfection that counts but our ability to embrace Imperfection. In that embrace, is the physical expression of our own Divinity. How many opportunities do you see presenting themselves for us to express that Divinity? The sooner we start embracing, the sooner everything and everyone will feel embraced.

Today, I add:
When we desire to see ‘peace’ in our World, it is our perspective of it that changes. In that change, we change our ‘drop’ in our ‘collective bucket’. One drop at a time, our collective is changed. Then our World physically changes as a result.
“The outside is a reflection of the inside”.
And what we’ve been working on all during the twentieth century, the so called “100th monkey” theory. Change enough drops in the bucket, to activate a change in the whole bucket. Only we’ve been working in fields of consciousness, bringing the energy in “quantum mechanistically”.
