It could not be otherwise. When we attempt to assimilate someone else's, we are only denying the opportunity to expose and develop our own. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do these unique perspectives contain the same fundamental principles? If they don't then they are illusion and calumny. The purpose of the exchange is to surround the subject so that it may be fully illuminated. We do not become illuminated, we illuminate! That inner light descends from our higher realms that we might use it to better see what and where we are. Those realms are far beyond the heavens of our imaginings. The astral highs and lows are but memories of passages through experience. They can be refined ad nauseam but they can never evolve. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I am "in" to whatever suits my purpose, as far as advancing my level of consciousness is concerned. That includes the simplest to the most sublime. You never know when you will be present at that decisive moment unless you are present, all the time. No judgement or pre-conceived notions required.

The more you are led to introspection, without the presence of an external aspect, the less you are able to make the link-up with your presence in the material. Simply a question of sending the energy in the "wrong" direction where it serves other purposes than those of your own evolution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are not intelligent alone, not because we need confirmation or comparison, but because we can only establish a resonant (and therefore increasing vibrational frequency) state when placed in tandem with another similar presence. The only proviso is that for the two to "connect" they must be in phase. That is why gurus and mentors and teachers can only serve the limited function of indicating the way. They can neither take you there nor provide you access, as long as the relationship of respect that they share with you includes a hierarchical aspect. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The basis of teaching is sharing and that goes both ways. So how to enter into this synergistic symbiosis? That is the reason that we have the natural need to form a couple with our significant other. Respect and intimacy go hand in hand in more ways than one. Getting there can be a lot of fun, but the pay-off comes when you realize that the ultimate connection relies on respect and openness. Fulfill that contract and the sky, and higher, is the limit.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-8668051838092259641?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/8668051838092259641/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=8668051838092259641&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8668051838092259641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8668051838092259641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2011/02/you-knew-it-all-time.html' title='You knew it, all the time...'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-1455118423083743637</id><published>2011-01-16T10:39:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2011-09-15T08:59:54.966-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Balance is the absence of interference</title><content type='html'>Balance is always present so long as we allow it to manifest by reducing our own interferences. Would you make the distinction between emotional hate and mental hate? The former being visceral, irrational and debilitating while the latter is cold, reasoned and devastating? The ego lives in fear and loathing. The person lives with the need to repulse and rectify. To hate all forms of involution and interference with the organizing force of the spirit is not only healthy, it is very necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have been on a long road of being and it has been a hard slog. Not an uphill climb so much as an avoidance of the downhill forks that keep presenting themselves for our downfall. The continuing occurrences and their ever-increasing ferocity is indeed a sign of the times. The closer we get, the harder they work against us. Yin and yang indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stalemate?  Hardly. They work to stop us. We work to incorporate them. We shall overcome and then we are replete with all that remains. Certainty and assuredness are a product of completeness. Openness allows you to receive all and accept that which is required. Detachment is not a lack of caring as much as it is the end of the need for attachment to that which is unnecessary. Makes sharing easier when you have what you need and everything else is readily available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The one thing that is sure is that we are designed and present to know whatever is needed for our continuing evolution. Whatever we are exposed to and whatever we can conceive, perceive and receive is a part of that process and it only makes sense that we live it and live in it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-1455118423083743637?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/1455118423083743637/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=1455118423083743637&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1455118423083743637'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1455118423083743637'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2011/01/balance-is-absence-of-interference.html' title='Balance is the absence of interference'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-8498519942821491335</id><published>2010-11-04T16:16:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-11-04T16:17:09.161-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Reality is just what it is.</title><content type='html'>We are so encumbered with our material and psychological preoccupations and considerations, that we ignore and disable the conduit that links us to our essence. It is also, to no small extent, part of the ingrained and structural nature of the self that is imposed upon our being, for our own sake. Perception is the key as we must release all aspects of what we believe and embrace what we experience. This comes about under any number of conditions, be they hardship or revelation. The import or the instance does not matter. What is relevant is that the harmony and the synergy of what your state is, relative to where it is, is how it comes to create that peace of mind that is only revealed when we are....totally present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the beginning of the exploration of the upper mental reaches. The supramental, supermind, nirvana, bliss, call it what you will, is where we are headed in no uncertain terms. Achieving this state is natural and effectual. It is a process that occurs under specific, individualized circumstances and is tailor-made to your own requirements.  The end result is a communion with self that supersedes all others. The start of the integration of those aspects of the personality that must, eventually and totally be transformed into the person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It makes no difference how this situation was approached because the preparation was immaterial to the obtaining of that part of your own reality. It is just a question of timing and energy through space such that the confluence of your being met and joined with your own essence. Thus begins the ultimate freeing of the self from the chains that so long have kept it prisoner. Within this, our conscious awareness allows us to move forward, towards the definition and demonstration of why we came here in the first place and how we will be when our journey continues in other realms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no time like the present, because the past is just an excuse for not creating the future.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-8498519942821491335?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/8498519942821491335/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=8498519942821491335&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8498519942821491335'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8498519942821491335'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2010/11/reality-is-just-what-it-is.html' title='Reality is just what it is.'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-3806191888374219605</id><published>2010-10-06T16:53:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-10-06T16:53:31.248-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Curiouser and curiouser</title><content type='html'>Why do we not, like a phoenix, rise from our ashes to continue our journey? Death is not only an insult, it is a form of radical recycling. If at first you don't succeed, etc. etc.  A curious aspect of temes is their viral nature. They depend on the host for sustenance and replication but are not adverse (indeed they are designed) to be parasitic to the point of self-elimination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As far as memes go, they are precursors to temes and are the "thought-forms" that are most readily transmitted by common experience or expression. Learning as you go ends up relying on others to blaze a trail, unfortunately theirs and not yours. Every side-step is a false one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is observed and perceived is in direct relation to how we fit into this reality and as such, provide us with the clues and means to respond and advance. Going beyond one's limitations is the key because those limitations are the signposts and guides along the way. Whatever is proposed can be of use, to the degree that it applies to our current need. It must not be felt that left-overs are the same as do-overs. Taking what you need and leaving the rest is a must.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, we use genetics as a means of progressing along the track that we need to explore and providing ourselves with the means to access those situations that can be of use. We do choose our parents, after all, and that is for an evolutionary reason.  Restoring balance to the our-of-kilter nature of our essence is the only thing that we need pay attention to. The rest is filler or falter and serves to allow us the time to adjust to every given requirement.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-3806191888374219605?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/3806191888374219605/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=3806191888374219605&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3806191888374219605'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3806191888374219605'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2010/10/curiouser-and-curiouser.html' title='Curiouser and curiouser'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-8410705081640970951</id><published>2010-10-06T16:18:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-10-06T16:19:58.613-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evolution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hicks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='consciousness'/><title type='text'>Take a ride on the wild side</title><content type='html'>We do not experience life so much as we differentiate it. We are set up, linguistically, referentially and conceptually to notice changes of state. Were things to remain totally static, then we would have to resort to our creative abilities to refine and redact our reality to suit our purposes. As it is, change is a given and we are constantly trying to "keep up" to reality by comparing it to what was and what we expect will be. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This differential analysis leads to all manner of problems. We hesitate to advance for fear of not being in complete control. We advance groping wildly, hoping to encounter, by sheer luck at times, the eventuality that we have envisaged. This instability places us in a state of insecurity that is most of the problem. Lack of understanding comes from lack of presence. We do not need to pay attention to that which is not part of our present moment. Not because we do not need to prepare for the future but because taking care of the present IS the preparation for the future. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If life is a ride, then the turns in the track are already laid out. We will encounter them so long as we remain on the ride. What is needed is to be well placed in our seat and firmly engaged in the process so that when we hit that rough patch, we are in the best possible state to deal with it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-8410705081640970951?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/8410705081640970951/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=8410705081640970951&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8410705081640970951'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8410705081640970951'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2010/10/take-ride-on-wild-side.html' title='Take a ride on the wild side'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-4486949892214330887</id><published>2010-09-11T20:14:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-09-11T20:15:37.662-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perception'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='awareness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='consciousness'/><title type='text'>Waiting room?</title><content type='html'>While we are waiting (every time has its purpose) we can look at the role of consciousness in the material.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perception generated awareness is the start of the process of evolution. Despite the reactive nature of life and its proclivity to respond to stimuli by adapting, these types of changes are limited to and include only the memorial aspects of existence. They are absolutely non-creative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Creativity is the manipulation and expression of descendent psychic energy. Ostensibly in the material but also on all energetic planes of existence. Our awareness is the recognition of the opening of our psychic centers. These centers connect to and transmit through all of our subtle bodies. The geometry and conformations that are formed depend entirely on the need of the individual. Each proceeds as they will but all proceed as they must.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-4486949892214330887?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/4486949892214330887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=4486949892214330887&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4486949892214330887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4486949892214330887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2010/09/waiting-room.html' title='Waiting room?'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-8896697060937488954</id><published>2010-05-25T15:50:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-05-25T15:50:47.100-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Once you know, no need to think.</title><content type='html'>So where does our perception that our ego is in control come from? Why do we feel that we, personally, are in charge of our process?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ego has a lenticular nature. Not only does it collimate and focus psychic energy, it reflects it as well. Incident energy of the right frequency and direction is neither absorbed nor transmitted. That energy is then "perceived" by the subtle centers and is re-"cognized" as coming from some incident source.  Since this energy has our "signature" it is common to our origin and is taken as such. The ego is but a pale imitation of the self and only interferes with our ability to actively participate in the process of presence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All kinds of interference patterns are set up within the ego and each and every aspect is delineated and defined by the energies that it provokes. These "emotional" states have nothing to do with actuality and everything to do with actualization. How we are fooled into thinking that we are not what we are is part of the problem. That we must use this information to determine and rectify those areas of our make-up that require adjustment is, indeed, the purpose of our presence.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-8896697060937488954?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/8896697060937488954/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=8896697060937488954&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8896697060937488954'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8896697060937488954'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2010/05/once-you-know-no-need-to-think.html' title='Once you know, no need to think.'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-4399915421408732334</id><published>2010-05-25T14:53:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2010-05-26T08:13:47.984-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Speak and ye shall find.</title><content type='html'>The spirit has not only imbued us with a life force, it has also provided us with a self-correction mechanism.&lt;br /&gt;Thoughts are the reflection and induction of psychic energy that is passing through the subtle bodies but that has no creative potential.

When it is a tool that can be used to define and focus our intention. Intention is the direction of our volition when it is provided impetus by our will. Without suitable control, this reverts to the instinctual and animalistic aspects of our nature. As a group, the magnetic power of our presence devolves into a random and chaotic movement. With sufficient cohesion, on the other hand, the circulation of that same psychic energy resonates with the natural frequencies of our surroundings and becomes a force for evolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mayan calendar is an exemplar of such a tool. Devised and refined by using the natural cycles and synchronicities of our material existence, it resonates with our own inherent principles. The more individuals that are exposed to it's influence, the greater the effect that it can generate amongst those that use it's presence to enhance and empower the demonstration of our purpose.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-1926281796108096136?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/1926281796108096136/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=1926281796108096136&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1926281796108096136'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1926281796108096136'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2010/05/time-may-be-of-essence-but-sense-is-in.html' title='Time may be of the essence but the sense is in our presence.'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-391171054936321360</id><published>2010-03-05T09:57:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-03-05T09:59:26.641-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Working on the chain gang</title><content type='html'>A thought is like a chain that links us from the shackle around our mind to the anchor in the wall of our psychic structure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once we realize that thoughts are not "our own" and that they emanate from "elsewhere", it behooves us to follow them back to their origin. Even if we manage to free ourselves, momentarily, from the shackle part, the chain is still there and can eventually find it's way back to it's original state. They are energetic impositions, after all, and as such are constrained to operate as a function of the energy flows within the psychic regions of the mind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "range-finder" that we can use to gauge exactly where all parts of the thought-form are and where they link into our mental processes is our emotional response to the thought itself. The human being is hard-wired hormonally to respond to stimuli in an animalistic manner. We are programmed to respond emotionally to all other energy inputs that generate an interference or an attenuation in the signal strength and transmission within the psychic structures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once we are able to describe, in words, the sensibilities that are evoked by any given thought-form, we are well on the way to locating and eradicating the hold that these pernicious perpetrators of pain have on our inframental regions.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the person to be "in charge" and able to suppress or enable the egoic "forces" as required?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the ego controls nothing. It is a totally reactive and mechanical part of the psychic structure. As such, it is only fulfilling the task set out for it, by the self, according to the limitations and guidance provided by the source, as interpreted and transformed by the spirit.  This direct chain of command has one disconnect. The imperfections that are instilled and inherent in the actual psychic structures are magnified and strengthened by the physical nature of our reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ethereally, the ego is just a connector and a waveguide for the transmission of psychic energy from one to many and from many to one. Physically, the ego is a structured and crystallized energy form that contains and retains all of the occlusions and imperfections inherent to the current state of being. Our physical reality is so much more massive and dense than our ethereal nature that it confers upon the egoic structure, a force that completely overwhelms our personal presence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The purpose is two-fold. First, this ensures that the corrections to be made to the structures are evident and easily defined. Second, the polarity between the poles of the energetic exchange that is needed to make the corrections, is sufficiently large to effect the required changes. The knowledge that the program has been written and needs only be followed to perfection, leads to the conclusion that we must be aware of our situation, adjust to every input so as to maintain neutrality and continue on our way, without fear of what may not be apparent but which is never unknown.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-6110602124182199287?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/6110602124182199287/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=6110602124182199287&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6110602124182199287'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6110602124182199287'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2010/03/whos-in-charge.html' title='Who&apos;s in charge?'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-336760180192536043</id><published>2010-01-18T16:19:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T16:19:26.480-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I can see clearly now...</title><content type='html'>And what of the lenticular nature of the ego?  Just how is it supposed to work and what is it's "normal" effect on our persons?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lens that is crystal-clear, transmits energy without attenuation or affectation. It allows an interstice, or bridge, between two media such that both can remain in contact without one impinging on the other. The ego is the separator of the ethereal and the material. It is a psychic construct that is wet-wired into the human brain. It induces biochemical electrical impulses from the ethereal energy feed that it receives from our higher (more rarified) planes of existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much like the piezo-electric effect of a quartz crystal, the human being has adapted this technique to provide it with a link to another realm. The ego is neither the enemy nor the obstruction. It is the asset and the ally that, once reclaimed to the essence of the person, will function effectively as originally intended. The built-in correction factors will have all been used up and removed from their obscuring presence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only being useful for this effect, it will also serve the purpose of connecting our newly-minted essence to the ethereal.  These processes all serve a purpose and that is to permit the evolving consciousness to remain integral to our person no matter where we continue our voyage.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-336760180192536043?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/336760180192536043/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=336760180192536043&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/336760180192536043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/336760180192536043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-can-see-clearly-now.html' title='I can see clearly now...'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-1752646965229059063</id><published>2010-01-18T15:56:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T15:57:45.103-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clarity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='self'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='intellect'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ego'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='suffering'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='memories'/><title type='text'>We are all post impressionists...</title><content type='html'>The impression of the past versus the impulse of the present. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all subject to, and dominated by, the past and its memories, reflections and influences. Our perceptions are constantly being besieged by the rational intellect as it compares and contrasts the current situation with all previous examples stored in our reactive memory. A survival characteristic certainly....for beings that are unable to intercept, interpret and instigate the action that is required at any given moment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As our consciousness evolves and our awareness and sensitivity increase, we become better able to deal with the present moment. How we deal with our own energy and it's vibrational aspects is a natural and normal progression. What has happened is that the roadsigns are out in the middle of the road and we keep running into them. Our movements and methodology must involve the real-time processing of information as well as the instantaneous action that keeps us from being diverted and subverted in our required advance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This process goes against what has existed since the dawn of man and rightfully so. For us to surpass our involutionary tendencies, we must cast aside what no longer serves us and create, enable and enact that which provides us with a new and more effective paradigm. Having been held back by the weight of memory, we must now free ourselves from those bonds and take a step into the void....the creative void. The void where in all things originate and whence all things must eventually end.

What is it that keeps us from our intelligence?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memorial residues are maintained on the astral plane. One curious (well more like obvious) aspect of the astral plane is that time has no flow there. Memories are "stuck" there which is one of the reasons why you can always recall a memory, exactly as it happened. That we choose to embellish on some of our thought-provoking memories is just more of the same poison that keeps us from living in the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The will is the power that resides within us and that allows us to give rein and to permit the transformation of the vibration into concrete realizations.  The power of the will is visceral in nature and it is intimately linked with our emotional centres. Those emotional centres generate the majority of our feelings and those feelings colour and impregnate our experience. The force contained within these impulses is the heart of our essence. It is that essence that provides the motive force behind our will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is this will that evades us when we allow it to stray too far from our center. We "astralize" our creative potential by constantly forcing it to refer to our past memories. Only the ego and it's continuous referencing of the rational intellect to find it's "place" in a given sequence of events, is to blame.  Without this pernicious and insidious interference, we would be able to immediately access all aspects of our person and therefore respond adequately and precisely to the situation at hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting stuck or being unable to respond or to act appropriately at any time is just that. We have given over our control of time (the present) and have placed our will in thrall to the memorial residues that contaminate our existence. These are the bars and the locks that prevent us from having access to each and every aspect of our beings.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-4823695632593027080?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/4823695632593027080/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=4823695632593027080&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4823695632593027080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4823695632593027080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2010/01/only-prisoners-can-serve-time.html' title='Only prisoners can serve time.'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-3167587763049052639</id><published>2009-11-30T15:32:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-19T10:29:31.555-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Definitely not something to think about.</title><content type='html'>Once we have realized that thought transmission is deleterious, wasteful and counter-productive, the question becomes how to short-circuit the process? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do we try to resist the reactive "desire" to respond to our thoughts? &lt;br /&gt;Do we ignore the thought process and blithely go about our business? &lt;br /&gt;Do we chant mantras?

Spontaneous, instantaneous, actualized performance in the material plane. This is not to say that mental activity is disallowed. What is required to rectify the mental transmissions is the presence of the vibratory qualities of verbalization. Once we address an issue by exchanging verbally, we replace already structured forms with new vessels that contain the energy of the moment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This process "frees" us from the prison that our memories provide and gives us the heads-up to produce and perform those actions that are ideally suited to the task at hand.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-3167587763049052639?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/3167587763049052639/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=3167587763049052639&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3167587763049052639'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3167587763049052639'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/11/definitely-not-something-to-think-about.html' title='Definitely not something to think about.'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-2199288328836133758</id><published>2009-11-22T14:19:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-11-22T14:33:12.117-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ego self suffering clarity'/><title type='text'>The ego as self</title><content type='html'>The kind of order that the ego tries to impose is more a straight-jacket than a guide.

Our "disorders" are related to the interference with our natural enegy flow by those retardatory aspects of our existence. &lt;br /&gt;They are the clues. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suffering is, for the most part, just the restraint that the ego's straight-jacket places on our movement. The ego, once made transparent, is relegated to performing it's required tasks...which it does exceedingly well.

No requirement to understand nor to comprehend. There is also no need to "debate" as that is a recursive and retardatory aspect of the ego and it's function here in the material plane. When we exchange freely (as we are doing now) we provide each other with an outlet. A means of describing our condition and allowing it to adjust itself based upon our own self-correcting mechanisms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no "way", other than living our material existence as best we can, to get anywhere. We are intelligences in the process of perfecting our presences for the purpose of the evolution of our consciousness. It is that conscious awareness that is the sign and the device of our method in the evolutionary process. Since it is similar, but totally individual, we all advance at our own pace, through our own devices. You are neither ahead nor behind of anyone or anything, you surpass your previous self and continue the process of refinement inexorably.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No mantras, no gurus, no esoteric or occult method required, just the life that we chose to live and the means by which we live it. It is a process and one that we discover as we advance within it. Sharing is the way to elucidate and demonstrate our commitment to our humanity. We are not intelligent alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This does not mean that there are no "specific" answers to a given question. It just means that those answers depend on the individuals involved and their subjective needs relative to the situation. The basic underlying universal principles are, however, always present and apply according to the laws of nature. That we are ignorant of them and their functions and effects is all the more reason to proceed on our personal voyages of discovery.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-2290061951949496864?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/2290061951949496864/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=2290061951949496864&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/2290061951949496864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/2290061951949496864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/10/relax-and-enjoy-ride.html' title='Relax and enjoy the ride'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-3090810341590790368</id><published>2009-10-12T15:02:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-12T15:08:02.952-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Time out</title><content type='html'>Another aspect of thought transmission is it’s relationship to the flow and perception of time. When we consider the speed of light, we believe it to be the fastest means of information transmission available. It would appear, at first glance, that thought travels faster than light! How can that be? It is not information transmission, it is information repetition. No problem going from A to B when B IS A….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The implication is that creativity is related to the flow of time (as part of the universal principle of refinement) and since thoughts are independent of time then they are not nor can they ever be creative. Thoughts reside and emanate from the astral plane. The astral plane is the location of the repository section of the soul. Memorial residues are stored where time is “frozen”. That is to say where all events are recorded and locked in the moment of time during which they were created.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any instance or copy of a event that has been installed into the psychic structure of the mind retains each and every component of the event. As such, it is a witness to and a description of the energetic “signature” that was inscribed at that moment by the reactive memory. The contents and components of this memorial residue are able to receive and vibrate sympathetically with the incoming psychic energy. They then (much like an elementary particle in a quantum state that absorbs energy and emits a photon as it “de-excites”) emit a signal that represents the contents of the residue. That transmission of information sets into resonance the psychic structures and, much like descendant energy receipt, the ego transduces the signal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the energy is vocalized, this circuit is interrupted and the resonance of the emission and receipt takes precedence over internal reflection. In this way, we can short-circuit the process and cease the loss of energy. The resonance that is established within the moment but beyond the reach of the reflective centers can then serve to elevate the vibratory level and allow for the manifestation of our intent. Taking the time out of the equation literally and figuratively frees us from the memorial ties that bind.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-3090810341590790368?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/3090810341590790368/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=3090810341590790368&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3090810341590790368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3090810341590790368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/10/time-out.html' title='Time out'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-3078520333932560182</id><published>2009-10-11T10:06:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-11T10:06:46.423-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Thought provoking</title><content type='html'>Unless it is the thoughts that are responsible for the provocation…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider your existence as a progression of events that lead to an eventual state. During the time allotted for this exercise, you encounter all kinds of obstacles and impediments. Or are those things just the opportunities that you need? They were existing beforehand and you had the wherewithal to align yourself with them so as to take advantage of their presence and effect!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So then, what is there to think about?  Indeed, thoughts are just the reflected vibratory emanations of your psychic self and it’s instructions as to how to proceed.  Along the way, those reflections get altered by the condition of your mental processes and territories such that they influence the lower mental and cognitive functions.  A form of interference that we have come to believe is our own self considering what we need to do and how we need to do it. Talk about superfluous!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you yell hello to a friend to get their attention and you hear an echo of your voice from a distant object, do you pay heed to that distorted emission?  Do you stop and consider why your call is so much less forceful and distinct?  Does it make you reconsider your need to speak with your friend?  Of course not!  Clearing your mind of unnecessary interference is the first step to clarity. The vibe is all about its reception and use to rectify your circuits and accomplish your mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next time you start to think about something, just remember that a clogged drain never gets cleared out by adding to the clog.  Move into activity. Preferably, speak about what is going on. Use your energy by applying it to your current situation. Waste not, want not.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-3078520333932560182?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/3078520333932560182/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=3078520333932560182&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3078520333932560182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3078520333932560182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/10/thought-provoking.html' title='Thought provoking'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-6681332615534281061</id><published>2009-10-11T09:41:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-11T09:42:47.751-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perception'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perspective'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='oneness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='reality'/><title type='text'>What you see is what we get.</title><content type='html'>Perspective.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reality is not so much subjective as it is subjectively induced.  This is where the "oneness" aspect comes into play. The integration of all of the iterations allows for the condensation of our energies into a completeness.  It is that completeness that is the end-result of our individual purposes. That is why man does not have a hive-mentality nor a group mind. Certain vestiges do remain from the lower echelons of our development but as we proceed, we eliminate them as well as all of the other less refined elements of ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To deny the purpose of each and any atom is to ultimately deny oneselve's own existence. The tendancy is strong to keep from becoming aware of the door but once you have found the threshold, you are the only one impeding your progress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Snow and ice do melt away, but the water that they "create" is just a transformational aspect of their reality. Eventually, that water evaporates once it has gained enough impetus to free itself from the bonds that keep it attached to it's own particular prison. Each atom in that condensed or rarified reality serves a purpose.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-6681332615534281061?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/6681332615534281061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=6681332615534281061&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6681332615534281061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6681332615534281061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-you-see-is-what-we-get.html' title='What you see is what we get.'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-4691722542147622715</id><published>2009-10-06T10:51:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-10-06T10:54:56.252-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='time consciousness thoughts'/><title type='text'>Time after time...</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="  white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Thought power is an oxymoron.

What we need is to appreciate reality for what it is and that is an ability that will banish all forms of interpretation to the trash-heap where they belong.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="  white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Stretching time is another aspect of our reflective natures.  Time lasts forever when we are bored or in trouble or otherwise inconvenienced. Why is that? Only because we take those moments and reflect them continuously, thus stretching the fabric of time by filling it with needless echoes of our existence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="  white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="  white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;When we are in the moment, we circumvent the reflectivity of the thought process and enter into the realm of time-consciousness. Time ceases to exist because our perceptions are all solidly locked onto the object of our attention. In this way, we enable our perspective to remain outside of time and no longer be influenced by it's reflective component. Being outside of time means that time is contained within our consciousness and is therefore subject to our needs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="  white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="  white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Isn't it about time?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-4691722542147622715?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/4691722542147622715/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=4691722542147622715&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4691722542147622715'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4691722542147622715'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/10/time-after-time.html' title='Time after time...'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-7176845389782364886</id><published>2009-09-27T19:12:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-27T19:13:58.954-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Timeliness</title><content type='html'>Reflection has a pejorative connotation when we consider that it puts us "behind the 8-ball" in terms of being able to deal with the current situation. You will agree that even a "repeat" performance can never be identical to it's predecessor because "time" has changed and so, therefore, has the event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have the advantage of an ever-increasing perspective to allow us the capacity to deal with any moment, within that same moment and no other.Time is not a metric so much as it is a consideration. It is flexible (as we note from our selective appreciation of the passage of time) depending on how we are using it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To use the time that we are given is always our prerogative and removing it's influence is the job of our perception of reality.

Given the chance to enter into a corporeal entity of opposite sexual polarity, what was used to being in a man's skin can very well find itself accoutered and enmeshed in all things feminine.  How to reconcile the dichotomy?  You get a gender bender that manifests itself as the person manages to deal with the circumstance.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="  white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;What happens when you are up against a memorial residue that just won't come clean?

Progress is progress.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="  white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;And if the hole you have to patch allows an entity of another kind to gain a hold in your essence?  One whose power and influence overtake and overwhelm what you have to offer?  Succumbing to the pressure is also energetic in nature.  The rupture of the vessel due to too much input can occur.  The spirit took a chance and the machine failed to deliver. Not that the spirit would bail, it is in it for the long haul. Rather that the strength of the blockage caused sufficient "blow-back" to completely overpower the system.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="  white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;The voice inside that is now heard is no longer what we came with but is rather the cry of defeat that is the purpose of the presence of such impediments. It's full-strength resistance convinces the humanity that remains that continuing is no longer useful and that retreat is inevitable and unavoidable.  No longer able to sustain the life that it was given, that life is removed as control is no longer possible.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="  white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Death may well be an insult to the spirit but suicide is it's most obvious failure. Not only must the process start over but all aspects of the ensuing events must now be added to the account. A debit on the ledger of life and a mark on the nature of the future endeavors.  No more and no less, it is nonetheless one step forward and two steps back.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="  white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Once we know that it is a tactic and a subterfuge, we are better able to deal with this saddest of all demises.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:11px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-2196823431276866206?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/2196823431276866206/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=2196823431276866206&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/2196823431276866206'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/2196823431276866206'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/09/suicide-mission.html' title='Suicide mission'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-5659135591066995608</id><published>2009-09-22T20:52:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-22T20:57:31.839-04:00</updated><title type='text'>It all up to you.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The human psyche is designed to hold and transmit that which is germane to the moment.

It is comprised of the real and the unreal. All that is illusion conveys a sense of reality that has been subtly altered to keep us from realizing that which we are.

That the universe functions in a cyclical manner is without question. That those cycles relate to us in profound and arcane (as well as occult) ways is part of the puzzle. That we be able to ascribe function and derive intention from the way and number of smaller cycles that we can impress upon a greater movement......that is the product of a mis-aligned and disparate ego.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Spirituality is the demonstration of our reality as seen from below. Lofty notions and heightened aspirations that somehow lend credence and value to our efforts.  Our humanity has a greater need for a heightened sensibility and a greater perspective. This will allow us to use our perceptions to separate the wheat from the chaff and thereby use our reality to destroy our illusions.  Once the illusions are gone, so are the impediments to our advancement as both spirit beings as well as evolutionary entities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;The current and future changes that are occurring in our experience are part of the natural order of things. That we are an integral and necessary part of the process depends only upon ourselves and the actions that we take. You can swim against the current for a while but eventually you have to go with the flow.  That flow is a part of our existence and we need only realize the directionality of our energetic nature to be able to align ourselves with it and profit by it.

Attention span. Terms that imply a focus or an awareness of a given situation or aspect of existence. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;For most, this means focusing on what is of interest and maintaining that object in a restricted field of view. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Excluding other inputs is the involutionary interpretation of attention and must be abolished if we are to improve and increase our level of conscious awareness.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The universal principle of refinement allows us to remain open at all times without impediment to our functioning. Our awareness of our surroundings is as infinite as our own beings. Once we realize that we are able to deal with and treat an unlimited number of incoming stimuli, it is a simple matter of allowing the universal principle of selectivity to operate.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Selectivity functions over time by creating a resonance field between our selves and the object of interest. The more we open ourselves to what is available, the greater the pressure of selection to deal with the most appropriate action for the situation. In this way, we afford ourselves all of the options that are available and the one that fits best gets used. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The more we limit our perceptions and perspectives, the harder it becomes for us to deal effectively with our lives and activities therein. As the evolution of our consciousness accelerates, so must we increase our awareness and our ability to deal with all that impinges on us. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Openness is the key and getting and maintaining that state is a function of how we care and share.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-4390458619043325933?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/4390458619043325933/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=4390458619043325933&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4390458619043325933'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4390458619043325933'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/08/attention-as-openness.html' title='Attention as openness'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-7173357495681109592</id><published>2009-07-22T15:04:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-04T15:32:42.046-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='understanding answers fate destiny ego enlightenment psyche mind ascension humanity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='being'/><title type='text'>When the root becomes a carrot in front of the....</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The adage that “The love of money is the root of all evil.” has been well established during the course of humanity’s rise to planetary pre-eminence. When you consider this from universal principles, the allure and the effect of money becomes less of a problem and more of an opportunity.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Money is the ultimate medium of exchange. Portable, universal (in the sense of being in common use) and easily available under most circumstances, the transactional representation of money fits every bill. The exchange is the basic nature of the inter-relationships between people. We learn and strive to balance our natures and relationships to afford us the peace of mind and body that allows us to survive and evolve. Energetically, balance is an example of equilibrium. Equilibrium is achieved when the energy field is at its lowest potential, that is to say where polarities are at a minimum.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Thus, the purpose of the exchange is to produce and provide an equilibrium in our existence that affords us the peace that we seek and deserve. Work hard to earn money so that you can afford a nice life (except potentially for the work required to get the money…). It is this potential that must be reduced by revaluing the extremes between acquiring and expending money. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;When it has the value that it deserves and is not a source of envy or some other emotional states that introduce doubt and bias into our relationships, money will serve us and not require our (debt) service.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Evil is also a polarity. Money can do as much good as it can have evil done by those seeking it. Fear (of loss) and greed (the desire to acquire) contribute to the emotional content of money as a means of exchange. Refinement is the universal principle that governs how money affect us. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The more we determine our real needs (as opposed to our illusory wants and desires) the easier dealing with money becomes. Once you have what you need, generosity (the spiritualized form of the universal principle of balance) kicks in to ensure that we “share and share alike”. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Once you no longer want for your requirements, sharing becomes a part of caring and that is a step that we have to take so money can play a role in our continuing evolution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-7173357495681109592?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/7173357495681109592/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=7173357495681109592&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/7173357495681109592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/7173357495681109592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/07/when-root-becomes-carrot-in-front-of.html' title='When the root becomes a carrot in front of the....'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-1540831269549081105</id><published>2009-07-15T08:44:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-20T16:07:23.953-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='understanding answers fate destiny ego enlightenment psyche mind ascension humanity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='being'/><title type='text'>See what "I" means?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:7;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:48px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-size:11px;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; white-space: normal;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: normal; line-height: 18px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The first person singular perspective. Your point of view. Who and what you are as expressed repeatedly by the unholy trinity....me, myself and I.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The thought process takes advantage of the inability of the egoic mechanism, (like a shock-absorber or better yet a "skim" operation in any financial enterprise....) to short-circuit the flow of energy and rather than allow your real self from expressing your real intent, it bleeds away the incipient energy and leaves you with only a pale aftertaste of your real essence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As "normal" (read typical) as this function may be, it is not NATURAL. The nature of man is to induce and transmit his essence into this reality so that he can interact with the material plane. The thought process is a method whereby the circuitry of the mind is insulated from the full force of our energy until such time as we become able to transmit the vibratory quality of this force without unbalancing our very beings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not so much a straight-jacket as a life-jacket, thoughts are meant to be discarded as soon as you are out of the sea of doubt and able to continue your journey.

It is not the energy nor does it have any substance without the energy.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Once we free ourselves from this conceptualization of our experience, we become much more able to take advantage of the various ethereal currents that run through our psyches because they are not encumbered by the formulaic nor the formulary.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Relying on the form to provide us with the support and the sustenance for our well-being is a call to the memorial reserves of the soul and this is not the source of our energy, it is a repository of all forms that have ceased to serve a useful purpose but whose memory is maintained until such time as they can be discarded.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Like those old shoes in the upstairs closet, you will never wear them again so why keep them?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Sentiment? Nostalgia? Reminiscence?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;That they served you well was sufficient reward. Keeping them around just takes up valuable space that could be used for making room for the next pair. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Our creativity is only limited by our ability to realize our potential. What was can only serve again if it is transformed. Recycling means forgiving the past effects and forgetting the previous use. Knowing that what you did once cannot be re-created because situations are never static (except within the memory where they reside, emprisoned in a involutionary dead-end) frees you to realize that a creative being not only creates, he seeks to create as that is his purpose.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-5117452812131950137?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/5117452812131950137/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=5117452812131950137&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/5117452812131950137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/5117452812131950137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/07/venerable-or-vulnerable.html' title='Venerable or vulnerable?'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-382182619825460304</id><published>2009-07-07T17:47:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-04T15:32:42.047-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='understanding answers fate destiny ego enlightenment psyche mind ascension humanity'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='being'/><title type='text'>Time to get up and go</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="  white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;As far as the ego is concerned, its not only what it is but also how it is that matters.  The ego is the manifestation of our ethereal presence in the material plane.  It projects our transcendence through its partially obturated substance and we perceive that projection by the way we feel and the outlook that we have as well as the altered nature (subjectivity) of our perception. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="  white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;It is not that we need to rid ourselves of the ego's influence as we need to have an ego that is limited to its preternatural function and that it is in top shape to perform it's normal (not typical) duties.  How do we "cleanse" this aspect of our substance?  There is no miracle cure. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="  white-space: pre-wrap; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The level of suffering (detergent) that we must endure is specific to the degree of impurity that exists within the occlusions.  How long it takes is also a function of our approach, our timing and our degree of tolerance as well as our ability to endure.

How we "get along" is always a question of adjustment and time. More resistance and less adaptation increases the time factor required to accomplish the task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An important aspect of the process is the creation of alliances. While executing the events along our path, others on their own paths can cross and even overlap our path for specific periods of time. While familiarity may breed contempt and absence make the heart grow fonder, centricity and sharing allow for the synergy of the exchange.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though awareness is a precept for interaction, that awareness is not limited to physical proximity. Entanglement, on the psychic scale, allows for any activity in a "connected field or frame of reference", to have an immediate and intentional effect upon our subtle centers. Allowing for your "feel" of the vibe is how we disconnect the ego and its rational component from limiting our perspective and this allows our supramental reality to manifest itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowing is all about being and being is all about doing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-5129319768495257162?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/5129319768495257162/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=5129319768495257162&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/5129319768495257162'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/5129319768495257162'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/06/you-are-not-alone.html' title='You are not alone'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-4851811511055682209</id><published>2009-05-31T09:14:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2009-08-20T16:08:21.111-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The end is the means.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:arial;"&gt;Veneration of the form is a major problem when the energy that resides within is ignored (for that is the creative force that instills life into the form) and the pride of ownership means more than the ability to always start from scratch but with the ability to produce and provide exactly what will be needed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" ;font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are the instruments of our intent.

The condensation of our subjective reality requires a point of reference that is outside of ourselves yet within our reach, be it material or ethereal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proximity is part of the process of discerning how and with whom we are to deal. The exchange liberates us from the prison of our egoic internalization and allows for the free flow and resonant circulation of the creative energy that inhabits us all.

A telepathic transmission is an instantaneous communication in the supramental region of the psyche. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;A thought is a reflection of an energy field in the inframental region of the mind imposing on a memorial residue in the astral plane. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;This may sound fairly complicated in terms of definition but the latter is just a pale imitation of the former. The quantum entanglement of material presence (doesn’t have to be a “particle”) is the exhibition of this phenomenon. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Instantaneous and distant correlation between different energy realities. This correlation is, in fact, the measure of the communication that is established between and shared by the different physical realities of what exists spatially or dimensionally. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Note here the difference between telepathic (between and shared) as compared with telegenic (within and created) as far as our own inherent and eventual supramental processes that will become available.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Not only will we be in constant (instantaneous) communication with other intelligences but we will be able to create and transmit our own reality-based emanations that will contribute to and elucidate the nature of the universe as perceived from our particular perspective.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-1842399560662539292?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/1842399560662539292/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=1842399560662539292&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1842399560662539292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1842399560662539292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/05/getting-caught-up-with-entanglement.html' title='Getting caught up with entanglement'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-3181616933041200365</id><published>2009-05-27T15:32:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-22T15:35:07.666-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ego enlightenment psyche mind ascension humanity ego'/><title type='text'>More than meets the "I"</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The “appearance” of any geometric form is always a function of both its orientation and the perspective of the observer. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The dimensional reality of our existence limits us to the perceptions and the belief structure of our egoic nature.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;This situation automatically places us in a position that we believe is the center of our universe when, in fact, it is but a tiny outpost on the fringe of our existence. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Despite this, that locus is fundamental to our being and must be integrated into our consciousness so that we can profit from its abilities without suffering the consequences of its dislocation. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Take a plate and rotate it in front of your face. Its appearance changes from a line (edge-on) to an ovoid to a circle. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Were you to flip it in the air fast enough, it would appear as a blurry sphere and if you could watch it through time that sphere would become a long cylinder as the plate reacted to the gravitational field.

Allowing for and even encouraging the free-flow of ideas and information creates an instability which causes the ego to “vibrate” sympathetically with all of the new situations. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;As we realize our limitations, we stretch out our boundaries and incorporate the passage of additional energies that disturb and provoke all of the internal structures.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Like being awakened from a deep sleep, it is important to know that once we are roused, we must take advantage of the opportunity that results from the exposition of our psychic nature. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;This is our fundamental purpose and the greatest benefit of our experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-3181616933041200365?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/3181616933041200365/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=3181616933041200365&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3181616933041200365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3181616933041200365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/05/more-than-meets-i.html' title='More than meets the &quot;I&quot;'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-186868467663687297</id><published>2009-04-17T12:11:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-17T12:12:14.036-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Who let the dogs out?</title><content type='html'>Throughout the evolution of humanity, our animalistic nature has revealed itself in many ways, not the least of which is a societal pack mentality and the supremacy of the "alpha" male. The top dog, be it elected or mystical or administrative, runs the show and all others in their presence become subservient and servile until someone else challenges for the lead. This conflictual and contradictory means of organization had it's utility during times when experience or physical prowess lent themselves to the survival of the individual and the group. This "verticalization of energy and information flow helped to maintain and effect control by the power that was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ego does not have a spatial orientation. It is an anisotropic transmitter of signals. All sources (no matter how dubious) and all directions are equivalent to it's spherical lenticular nature. As we raise our vibratory rate, we are entering into a region where there is more room to maneuver in the horizontal plane with greater usefulness. This "horizontalization" is like the synergistic harmony created by a symphony orchestra. If each instrument were to play one after the other, it would not create the same effect as all instruments playing in concert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Organisationally, consider your exchanges in the sense of nodes within a network of lines of communication, stretching out and away in all directions. All persons within the "net" have access to all other points and whatever goal or purpose that is required can be reached by one or several members of the network. The benefit of the one is the benefit of the all. The egoic hierarchy can be repealed and replaced by the centricity of the individual as a contribution to the entire result.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-186868467663687297?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/186868467663687297/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=186868467663687297&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/186868467663687297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/186868467663687297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/04/who-let-dogs-out.html' title='Who let the dogs out?'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-742648941348038399</id><published>2009-04-16T12:31:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-22T20:58:55.755-04:00</updated><title type='text'>To share is to dare to care.</title><content type='html'>Just a refinement on the attitude adjustment that occurs when you use your discernment to interact with those on the same vibe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many are unable to respond or to even accept where they are and how they are in life.

Time rules over man like a ruthless despot. We can neither escape it's ravages nor can we reverse it's effects. Nonetheless, a part of us is independent of and unrelated to time and that is our access to the astral plane through the thought process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conditioning that our thoughts provide during the adulteration of the descent of our psychic energy serve to transmit the presence of the spirit and its ability to work with time for our eventual benefit. It is this interference that is one of the most insidious aspects of the thought process. The speed of thought is not limited relativistically nor temporally. You can "imagine" yourself anywhere and anytime with ease....but at what cost?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The spirit receives from our source a command of all aspects of our reality and that includes time. The spirit is able to "inspect" the various outcomes of different potentials and their time lines so that it can select for us the path of greatest effect (if not always of least resistance). This is a law of nature (thermodynamics) and has to do with energy conformances, equilibria and entropy. For these aspects of existence to come together properly, they must be maintained and controlled by inertia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inertial guidance systems rely on a point or a reference frame that allows them to always "know" the direction that they are headed or which way they must turn and by how much. There was only one source of inertia in the psychic realms and that was the time-independent astral plane. Once time is "factored out" of the equations of causality and referentiality, the entire system can function adequately. The only problem is that we become subject to and dependent on time. A small price to pay for perfecting what needs to be fixed but a very necessary one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-3947758430738551598?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/3947758430738551598/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=3947758430738551598&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3947758430738551598'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3947758430738551598'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/04/its-about-time.html' title='It&apos;s about time'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-3846509828300999134</id><published>2009-04-02T15:05:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-02T15:06:20.495-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Return policy</title><content type='html'>Since balance is a key to dealing with any and all situations supramental, how do we get anything done?  It is not only what you do, it is how you do it.  All parameters and aspects of any given activity have repercussions on all planes of existence.  It is being secure in the knowledge that our actions, when we are in harmony with them, lead us towards the goal and benefit that is our intention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That harmony is real and can be distinguished from the illusory variety by another fundamental principle...neutrality.  When you undertake an activity and it is not under the influence of your retarding or impeding components, you succeed without changing your state of mind.  This is the clue to how to perform and to continue to fit together the pieces of the puzzle that is our existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, we had to realize that it WAS a puzzle. Then came distinguishing the ways and means of obtaining the pieces, flipping them "right-side-up" so as to determine their nature and then orienting them in the proper (most beneficial) way.  Like the atoms in a fusion reaction, as each puzzle-piece fits together, not only do we get a brilliant look at the big picture, but the energy that is released (made available without encumbrance) serves to help us on our way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That neutrality that I mentioned above is a function of the balance within our subtle nature and is demonstrated by our emotional response to the activity that we undertake.  The more you remain "cool under pressure" the greater the part of that pressure that is available to contribute to running the engine. No loss or wastage of precious psychic energy to using and overheating the brakes when they are not needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This return on investment is a sure thing and as we know, interest accrues with time and with time, all things are possible.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-3846509828300999134?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/3846509828300999134/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=3846509828300999134&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3846509828300999134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3846509828300999134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/04/return-policy.html' title='Return policy'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-6769875989658836076</id><published>2009-04-02T09:40:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-02T09:42:07.132-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Food for thought to eschew...</title><content type='html'>So, what do the "thoughts" get out of the "exchange"? They intercept our descendant psychic energy, condition it with their particular brand of adjustment and then send it on towards the hapless ego that picks up the signal and acts on it as it must.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately for us, they get a double-dip, as it were. Not only do they get first shot at our incident brilliance, they can also bask in the albedo of our reflective nature... Our habit and tendency is to regurgitate and to rechew each and every morsel of food for thought, no matter how putrid or inedible that it may have become...for after all, they are our "own" are they not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, they do come from elsewhere so they are not our own but rather issue of those parts of our memorial stores that contain a complex and detailed record of our make-up and past history. Instead of our being able to receive our "due" and use it creatively to advance in our existence, we are subject to vampirism of the worst kind. Kind of like feeding off yourself....deadly in the end as this kind of recycling is not for our good at all. It is the price that we must pay until we cease to invite the night-stalkers into our abode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, these memorial residues become more and more heightened and refined, in their own way, as a further impediment to our imminent access to our luminous destiny. Our suffering feeds them and they get stronger and more resilient with time. Own last and best chance to stop the continued enslavement that we endure is to at last get to the point where we have had enough of the diminution of our selves and we put an end to our self-induced suffering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They do have an end and it is us.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-6769875989658836076?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/6769875989658836076/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=6769875989658836076&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6769875989658836076'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6769875989658836076'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/04/food-for-thought-to-eschew.html' title='Food for thought to eschew...'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-6542171360669469835</id><published>2009-04-01T15:07:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-01T15:08:43.297-04:00</updated><title type='text'>When self-serve is full service.</title><content type='html'>The one abiding principle that equivocates and mitigates the need for retardation, incarceration or even abortion, is that everything serves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The parents of the retarded child were chosen to deal with that situation. The period spent unjustly accused and imprisoned (whether karmic or not...depends on the nature of the prison...) or the guilt/shame of the abortionist or the women so affected, these are the price that the spirit is willing to pay to get the conditioning that is required to fix the mechanism and make it fully functional.  When the spirit uses our energies to work with time, its judicial use and how we deal with this, in the egoic sense, is more a matter of effectiveness than scheduling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Putting dirt on a wound seems dangerous but a mud plaster can be used with beneficial effects.  The duality of our existence is simply an expression of the orientation and the perception of those involved. Good and bad, wise and foolish, they are all manifestations of different aspects as we interpret them based on our intent and our point of view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowing that we are working to a plan and that the plan is an expression of how we make our way to an eventuality that suits our purpose is, in and of itself, the only reassurance that we need to have.  Pairing that with the knowledge that is available, ensures that we comply with the requirement to the best of our ability and is the key to making it through this life (and any and all other lives that are necessary) and moving on to the next level.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-6542171360669469835?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/6542171360669469835/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=6542171360669469835&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6542171360669469835'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6542171360669469835'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/04/when-self-serve-is-full-service.html' title='When self-serve is full service.'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-4363730478727231301</id><published>2009-03-31T10:47:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-05-16T09:12:04.758-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The nature of the beast</title><content type='html'>There is only one thing more powerful than the mind's effect on it's structures and that is the vibe.&lt;br /&gt;The vibe carries with it the entire spectrum of energy that has anything to do with what ails you or what you need to know. How you adjust to it's passage is indicative of the nature of your condition as well as the benefit that you can derive from it.&lt;br /&gt;The instruction manual (memorial reserves) contain all of the caveats as well as the hints and timing necessary to conduct the required repairs. The downside is that the caveats are self-actuated and when that actuation is not known to be from that source, we take it to be from our source and we pay attention to it and what it represents and not to what it means for us to undertake.&lt;br /&gt;In the exchange, we can reveal the nature of the beast. When we are told what was meant by what we said, we can see what it was that we ignored as we exposed it. These "blind-spots" are the chinks in the armor. They are where we must go to unlock the chains that bind us. They are hidden from our sight by the illusions created to protect us from premature exposure to our real nature.&lt;br /&gt;Once our vibratory rate is sufficiently raised, we may still not see them clearly, but we know where they live and what they are up to and we have a fighting chance to put them back into place. In plain sight and under our conscious control.&lt;br /&gt;Neuroses (like qualities/faults) are just the nature of our discernment turned against us like a fire-hose that was to be used to put out the fire that is consuming our psyches. Eventually, that hose can be used to water our garden or slake our thirst. It is only up to us how it should be used to suit our purpose. First we have to gain control and for that to happen we need help in seeing what we are to do. The exchange is the necessary step that we can use to start that journey.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-4363730478727231301?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/4363730478727231301/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=4363730478727231301&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4363730478727231301'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4363730478727231301'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/03/nature-of-beast.html' title='The nature of the beast'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-1173406618010570005</id><published>2009-03-22T20:57:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-22T21:02:46.781-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Can't see the ego with the "I"</title><content type='html'>What "kind" of person are you? How do you project yourself and how are you perceived? Is there a discrepancy between the way you know you are, the way you want to be and the way others see you? These differences are manifest and become evident with every action taken by and expressed through the egoic (I) principles of our personality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The person is NOT the personality. The person is what you really are, without the artifice, no frills, nothing to hide and nothing hiding anything. The personality is the slant and the orientation of the exigent circumstances of our existence. Without a personality, we might be fairly dull and straitforward but we would never have any problems with self-worth and self-deception. We would be what we do and that would depend on the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The egoic structures intercede in the process and affect and alter the intent of our conscious awareness. The ego (as it is transmitted as the personality) is the lack of transparency in the energetic transmission of our intent. Each and every reaction to input is indicative and a result of those fault lines and disturbances that have effected the crystallinity of the device itself. The light gets through but only after having been attenuated and colored by the make-up of the structure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like any good and sensitive receiver, we just have to tune-in to what is going on. Once we feel the effect and see the reaction it is only a matter of time. How long does it take? Until its done. If you are in a hurry, that is an indication of a lack of capacity to withstand the process in its entirety.There is no time like the present and the present is what it is, a present.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-1173406618010570005?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/1173406618010570005/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=1173406618010570005&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1173406618010570005'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1173406618010570005'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/03/cant-see-ego-with-i.html' title='Can&apos;t see the ego with the &quot;I&quot;'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-3043896864646130731</id><published>2009-03-16T15:42:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-22T21:03:11.416-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Two is just enough</title><content type='html'>We no longer "need" free will once we realize that a consciousness that has been raised sufficiently only requires sufficient perspective to allow it's perception to expose and relate all of its possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is the essence of creativity, as it applies to the exercise of our will in the material plane. You have to know the extent of the polarity that you are dealing with and the only way to know that is to exchange. The exchange allows for the placement and refinement of your observations by the presence of another point of view.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are not intelligent alone and that is due to the requirement to be aware of and to be able to manipulate and transform any energy source depending on our needs. Only "seeing" one aspect of any form will give you a potentially "biased" picture of the reality of that form. Once a supplementary or complementary viewpoint is added to the mix, the new version completes the picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The use of creative opposition (surrounding an issue from opposite sides) allows for a complete description.

The failure to see the end result does not change the method to be used. Conscious awareness is a function of perception and intention. Like Heisenberg's uncertaintly principle, in the material plane we can't see the forest as long as we are looking at the tree(s)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why we need to raise our vibratory level (or rather ALLOW it to rise) until we exceed the limitations of our own existence and gain access to those realms where the previously occulted obvious becomes more evident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Egoic demands and desires are pale imitations of real will and purpose. In fact they are but reflections of them, in the phase-shifted mirror of the ego's lenticular transmission stucture. Getting those out of the way by leaving behind our hopes and our anxieties and getting into the moment at hand are the key.....and we are the lock.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-1435082239732642065?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/1435082239732642065/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=1435082239732642065&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1435082239732642065'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1435082239732642065'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/03/every-door-is-function-of-its-lock.html' title='Every door is a function of it&apos;s lock'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-1503061106344552410</id><published>2009-03-05T16:41:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-05T16:42:20.526-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Its about time...</title><content type='html'>Likely the aspect of our existence that is the least understood and the most utilized. Time flows like a river, can seem long or short depending on how you employ it and while it can be divided into units, it is always seemless and continuous. It exists outside of reality yet within reality it serves to provide the template and the measure by which reality is given continuity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spirituality says that time is a concept that we use to define and divide our existence. A measure and a yardstick that we can use to decide whether or not some action is required, desirable or even possible. The key to this vision of time is that the spirit uses time as a commodity. It takes the amount of time that is required or determined to be sufficient and places our paths in conjunction with and adjacent to the timeline that best suits our purpose. In this way, cause and effect become a material function of presence and intention. We can achieve our goals by allowing the appropriate amount of time (and therefore energy required) to accumulate and then be (eventually or continuously) expended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply put, the spirit is outside of time while man is within it. Thus, the spirit can plan and organize time while man remains to execute within it and experience through it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conjunction (indeed the multi-dimensional point of contact) of time in these two "aspects" is the common ground that man shares with his spirit. In the supramental region, we can transform the energetic impulse that is time-coded into the actual activity and experience that is needed to complete the transfer and integrate the polarity of the incident energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus the spirit works with time to create the requirements for man (through his psychic processes) to experience and integrate, closing the breach that was caused by the energetic transmission and restoring the state and balance of the system to its proper function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Timing is everything.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-1503061106344552410?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/1503061106344552410/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=1503061106344552410&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1503061106344552410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1503061106344552410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/03/its-about-time.html' title='Its about time...'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-3191200620905095637</id><published>2009-03-03T17:45:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-03T17:47:07.473-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Induction promotes a certain back and forth.</title><content type='html'>Newton through Einstein formulated natural laws based upon the local nature of reality. Thus, action at a distance was disallowed because there had to be some tangible cause for every effect that could be perceived or determined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Induction, as it relates to the psychic processes, is a manifestation of the quantized expression of energy on a macroscopic scale. Just like quantum entanglement can create a (telepathic) link between already existing forms or states, the induction of intelligence from our psychic source, relies on telepathic transmission of an oscillation of the vibrational frequency of our spirit being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An oscillation is just an expression of the potential that can exist between any two given forms or states. This is the same basic way how light exists and propagates in the material plane. It's vibrational frequency is expressed as a modulating vibration and energetically it traverses space-time at the limit imposed upon it by the contents of the continuum. In the psychic continuum, there is no space-time limit, there is only an existential limit. Being here is the same as being there. Time and distance make no difference how you are, in reality, only how you may be perceived based on the frame of reference. Our awareness functions to alert us to the presence of the spirit as it manifests itself both within and without and consciousness is the oscillation of the various states of being that the spirit manifests.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-3191200620905095637?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/3191200620905095637/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=3191200620905095637&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3191200620905095637'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3191200620905095637'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/03/induction-promotes-certain-back-and.html' title='Induction promotes a certain back and forth.'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-1216594660457516925</id><published>2009-03-02T15:34:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-03-02T15:48:10.360-05:00</updated><title type='text'>I think therefore I was?</title><content type='html'>Descartes summed up the Buddha's description of the previous cycle's raison d'être. " You are your thoughts" was actually "You were what your thoughts are."  A closer look reveals the nature and the reason why this was so, as well as why it had to be so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any thought is just a rumination. A rumination is a redo or a "going over again" of some form or energy state.  It is a pale imitation, derived from the essence of your activity (be it mental or physical) and stored for further reference. The problem lies in the actuation of the memory associated with the thought in question. As the thought is energized, it detracts from that source of energy whatever it needs to present it's contents to you. That original energy was intended for you to use it to be CREATIVE and not regurgitative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reactive memory contains the reference material that the intellect analyzes and compares to the current status of the ego so that the ego can "echo-locate" it's presence in the material plane.  That presence is the "I" that presents itself to you for your own valuation.  You need to consider yourself in the first person? You are not already in existence, without need for confirmation?  Strange but vital when you lack conscious awareness that allows you to be in the present moment.  Unfortunately, this habit has stuck with us and desperately needs to be removed from our internal mechanisms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not that the "I" is such a terrible concept, only that it is superfluous to your existence and therefore is a hindrance to the energization of your potentials and the expression of your intentions.  Only once we cease the deleterious thought-provoking mechanism will we be able to "speak" our minds. That will be the ultimate proof of our presence as we will no longer require a mental buffer and we will be able to elucidate and elaborate all of our needs and requirements without impediment.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-1216594660457516925?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/1216594660457516925/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=1216594660457516925&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1216594660457516925'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1216594660457516925'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/03/i-think-therefore-i-was.html' title='I think therefore I was?'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-48072762209572140</id><published>2009-02-23T15:16:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-22T15:35:35.514-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thoughts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='understanding answers fate destiny ego'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='insight'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evolution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='intelligence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='consciousness'/><title type='text'>Thought fullness causes information overflow?</title><content type='html'>Division by zero.....buffer overflows....infinite operators....technical jargon gleaned from programmer manuals.....sounds like it was written with the internal thought process in mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you over-think a problem?

The nature of the inscribed memorial residues is a cross between a shock-absorber and an alarm clock. Hunh? wtf?  They provide an absorbent buffer to soak up incident psychic energy (a form of overflow buffer to keep us from frying the circuits) and they also demonstrate their presence like a rung bell.  How you feel about a given thought says a lot about its nature, origin and usefulness. (Kind of like a map of where the landmines are but these explosives are needed later to complete other demolition tasks in the transformational process.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Useful?  Seems to me that they are more of a nuisance, but since the weeds tell us where the soil is, we can't plant the garden until we remove the weeds.....and then we can compost them for fertilizer.

(This explains a lot about the various and sundry personality types that we see in life...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is clear that in a creative exchange, we are obliged to receive openly and to return to the best of our ability.  Otherwise we are engaged in a limited exchange that allows for various concerns, fears and prejudices to alter the nature of the vibration. This means that all kinds of distortions and distributions are incident on our psychic centers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the lower or inframental regions, we must endure and allow the passage of such items but not once our vibratory rate has reached the supramental.  One of the principle aspects of this part of our psyches is the access that it has to the duality present in all energetic forms.  In this area, the polarization of incident or transient or even resident phenomena is exposed and available for adjustment.  Kind of like having a windmill in a deep valley or placing it on the top of a hill.  Easier and better access to the force of the wind so a much better efficiency in handling the establishment of the energy potential that provides a gradient to allow for electrical generation (creative expression).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do we get the whole situation in gear?  It depends on the "lightness" of the internal processes.  This is a function of the personal evolution of your consciousness and the degree to which you have and are transforming your subtle aspects through experience and adjustment.  We all have crosses to bear but those that use them to better themselves are the ones that end up transforming their "weight" into a presence that both serves and enables them to continue in a more beneficial manner.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-6557031464025926669?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/6557031464025926669/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=6557031464025926669&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6557031464025926669'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6557031464025926669'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2009/02/ability-to-discern.html' title='The ability to discern'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-6142054149808154830</id><published>2009-01-13T10:02:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-14T16:20:00.630-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The expansion of consciousness</title><content type='html'>As consciousness has evolved, it has evolved (like all systems/organisms/organizations) because of the pressure exerted upon it. There is nothing mystical about the process, as arcane and occult as it may be. The pressure is coming from the ever-increasing influx of information. When man had to survive by finding food and running away from predators, his mind had necessary limits. As the needs of man changed so did his developing self-awareness.  Unlike the tendency to believe that we are still using our cave-man mentality, our bodies react and adapt to environmental changes with ease (sometimes with dis-ease...) so, of course, does our ethereal counterpart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, unlike a balloon being blown up by more and more breath, our structures are open-ended and infinite. Thus we are just filling up an "empty" space.  That space is, however, organized and ordered according to the way that other aspects of our consciousness and awareness impinge upon it.  The instauration of conscious awareness was an integral part of the process.  We started with a fully functional machine that was turned off.  It was then started but left to idle while other inputs and connections were waiting to be made. (No point in having systems functioning for no good reason. The universe and the source are the ultimate in efficiency and effectiveness when left to their own devices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like a reservoir that needs to build up a pressure, we had to reach a "tipping point" in our development before the next level of awareness and functionality was reached and enabled.  Many philosophers and sages (Sri Orobindo and Mother come to mind) intuited the imminent arrival of the use of the supramental region of the ethereal person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are on the threshold of a significant shift in the evolution of the consciousness of man.  Humanity will support and endure this changeover much as it has all of those that came before it and will undoubtedly follow.  Our job, such as it is, requires that we invest ourselves and undertake the opening of all apertures in the communication structures of our beings. Otherwise, we will go past the fill line on the transmission of our ethereal engine and not be able to benefit and profit from our newfound presence.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img

type='html'>The fear of death has motivated humanity since it's inception:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have come to appreciate them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The spirit is the potential of all of the energy that provides our consciousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The soul is the form of organization of the different types of energies that are involved so as to provide us with a means of (e)motive force as well as information storage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The self (mind) is the presentation of these energies as transmitted by and through the egoic structures in the material manifestation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The person is the amalgam and the totality of these different aspects of our beings. How it demonstrates it's presence through the various internal and external factors and structures results in what we perceive as the personality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intelligence is the organization (in degree and kind) of these energies and their movement in the ethereal or material plane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being the case, death is the state in which:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the spirit remains unchanged, except for those adjustments to its potential that is the result of continued existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the soul is placed in "stasis" and contains the record of all events that have occured during "materiality" frozen in time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the self (mind) no longer being a functional part of the remaining mechanism, ceases to exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the person returns to its state of attenuation commiserate with the potential of the energies contained by the spirit, therefore "consciousness" is retained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the intelligence being the organization of these energies, is altered to accomodate the (re)new(ed) conditions so it is maintained at the ethereal level of existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the "disconnection" of the soul that acts as a buffer between our infinitely high vibratory rate of existence as spirit and our incredibly dense state of being in the material plane. This buffer interferes with the connection between self and spirit and is the cause for our present memory only being consistent with currently accumulated experiences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So death is just a transformation and a necessary step in the evolution of our consciously intelligent spirit being.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-8006083808765730949?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/8006083808765730949/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=8006083808765730949&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8006083808765730949'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8006083808765730949'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2008/10/death-of-death.html' title='The death of death'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-816512541647209403</id><published>2008-10-04T21:45:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-01-14T10:59:04.061-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='understanding answers fate destiny ego enlightenment psyche mind ascension humanity'/><title type='text'>Incidence of transparence</title><content type='html'>Feelings and thoughts (as opposed to emotions and communications) are just reflections and attenuations of our psychic energy.As the energy descends, it is subject to all our structural faults and imperfections. The spirit rode us hard and left a lot of crap for us to clean out but wth its a job and someone has got to do it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the downside, we believe these "false" signals to be the real ones and take them to the bank. This tends to result in our being quite bankrupt...lol. Fortunately, all of these imperfect transmissions leave a lot about themselves in the impression that they convey. In this way, we are able to track the signal back to the cause of the problem and eventually light it up and clean it out. Once that is done, things are back to the way the must be and we can carry on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The incidence of transparency in the subtle bodies is a necessary part of the process. Ideally, as we experience the events in our life plan, we suffer through them as best we can until finally we master their effects and incorporate them into our fundamental nature. This process of realization is the necessary precursor to the eventual integration of our principles and the ultimate raising of our vibratory rate to the next level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The self, or person, which is our essential nature and is our eventual existential reality, is simply the representation of our accumulation of energy potential. The coincident memorial forms that have and will be incorporated are all a function of what and where we are in our natural progression.As this self was in need of rest and repair before continuing its existence, it was encumbered with all of the instructions and indications needed to effect these adjustments. That list is the plan that we carry with us and that we execute and endure during this period of our evolution. As we accumulate the relevent experiences, many of them are "mal-adjusted" and remain in "stasis" while we continue to refine and attune them. These experience forms take up space in our astral body and influence and affect all aspects of our comportment. As we proceed, their re-adjustment is needed to allow us to fully realize the experiences that we are undertaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The will is our potential (creative and motive) and as such is subject to the direction of whatever impetus provokes its action. The ego is a poor task master due to the clouding of its function by the presence of the memorial residues. Our level of intelligence is not only a representation of our current state, it is also an indication of our reality and the nature of the process that we are undertaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The end is achievable and the work to be done must be carried out to the best of our abilities. Will this occur within this lifetime so that the necessary transformation can take place as I leave this plane? That is a question that I will only be able to appreciate and elucidate from elsewhere. Certainly my understanding of the process is that balance and transparency within the system is paramount and from my observation to date, that balance is presently available. Without sufficient success in the attainment of transparency, however, I will certainly continue my efforts throughout another cycle and perhaps many more. These are all parts of our being which are unknown to us in detail, at present, but that are clearly established through our contact with the source.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-816512541647209403?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/816512541647209403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=816512541647209403&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/816512541647209403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/816512541647209403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2008/10/feelings-and-thoughts-as-opposed-to.html' title='Incidence of transparence'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-7106316217496602867</id><published>2008-10-04T21:44:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-04T21:45:35.704-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The weight of the self</title><content type='html'>Ideally and originally, we are conceived and organized so that we receive an energy input to coincide with the exact external situation. Our balanced and functional system transforms the energy into the form required to respond accurately and adequately. The net result is an increase in well-being and a new "imprint" that is added to the source of knowledge.This was so when, as spirit beings, we were undergoing and experiencing existence. The spirit is connected to the source directly and its manifestation in the material plane is the ethereal "double" that is the bridge between our self and the astral, egoic and mental bodies. This connection and situation was created by the spirit as a means of restoring and revitalizing its capacity and capability to continue its current existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For us to condense in the material plane, a "disconnect" was required so that the soul (previously the motive force (morontial body of the spirit) could be reorganized to accept and store all of the experiences that we would undergo during this "instructional" phase of our progression.The reconnect that has become possible since 1969 involves the higher function of the mental body or as we often refer to it, the "supramental". Still part of the mental body, it is a higher vibrational frequency that has "access" to the ethereal double.The previous and current problem that we endured was that the egoic body was given control over self-awareness. So, not only was it responsible for our physical presence and the direction of our emanations, its reflection of the self imbued it with the impression that it was the "self". This awareness was a consequence of the soul's conversion to memory and the creation of the analytical intellect within the human psyche.It goes on and on (we are infinite beings after all... ) but this explanation is somewhat inadequate and laborious. There is so much more to know and to do.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-7106316217496602867?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/7106316217496602867/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=7106316217496602867&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/7106316217496602867'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/7106316217496602867'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2008/10/weight-of-self.html' title='The weight of the self'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-5427644355268905546</id><published>2008-08-25T11:39:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2008-08-25T11:45:18.596-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perception'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='evolution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='consciousness'/><title type='text'>The sands of time and space</title><content type='html'>We are but travellers on the surface of the hourglass that represents the spacetime of the conscious spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we rise we also are going around the surface and can perceive the sand as it flows.

From that viewpoint we are seen to be rising at an ever-increasing rate despite the fact the we can only perceive that for each (r)evolution we have only gone "up" one unit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once we arrive at the nexus of the hourglass shape (it is actually a form of tetrahedron in 4-space that extends into more refined space above our current location) we will continue our advancement but we will note a change to our orientation.

Thoughts are reflections of descendent psychic energy and as such emanate away from the psychic centres. The emanations are then captured by memorial residues, altered in vibrational and amplitudinal manners by the contents of the residues and then reflected to our conscious awareness where the ego re-cognizes them as more descendent energy...&lt;br /&gt;The entire human physical speech instrument is a highly sophisticated wave-guide. Its purpose is to provide resonance strenghthening of the psychic vibrations that we transfer into vocal verbalizations. This physical wave-guide has its psychic component which works to impede the leakage and return of descendent energy. The whole system works on a feedback loop system so that the more you verbalize the stronger and better the system becomes.&lt;br /&gt;As above, so below and as within, so without. The next time you are worried about something, do not think about it, speak about it. Start the process by directing your energy towards getting the system functioning. It makes little difference what or how you express it, as long as it is vocal. The disconnect that will eventually take place will allow for the ultimate re-connect. Being able to listen to what you are saying so that you can learn from what you know but had failed to realize. You need only take a single step to start the greatest of journeys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steps&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Observe the footprints left behind you&lt;br /&gt;as you make your way along&lt;br /&gt;a path with markers duly posted&lt;br /&gt;with writing only on one side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You knew that with each step you'd taken&lt;br /&gt;the writing that was there inscribed&lt;br /&gt;would only become seen and known&lt;br /&gt;once it had become your fate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What stretches out beyond your knowing&lt;br /&gt;formless and without restraint&lt;br /&gt;beckons to you, calling, asking,&lt;br /&gt;its sense is there for you to make.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing has been sketched or drawn,&lt;br /&gt;nowhere is there a plan for you&lt;br /&gt;so seize this moment as presented&lt;br /&gt;allowing you to choose your due.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The hardest step is one in error&lt;br /&gt;the easiest is one retraced&lt;br /&gt;the freedom to do what is needed&lt;br /&gt;relies on only one thing, you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, am I telling you to stop thinking? While that would certainly help clear your mind, (essentially the inframental part of it) telepathic communication in the mental regions is a necessary fundamental part of evolution and your "higher" (supramental) aspirations.&lt;br /&gt;What I am elucidating is the necessity that we realize that thoughts are not "our own" and that even though they appear in regions that we consider "ours" they are, in fact, the product of reflections and adjustments to our mental energy that "appear" to have their origins in areas that they do not "come from".&lt;br /&gt;It is this subterfuge that has damned man to an eventually-ending phantasmagoria of mentally debilitating echo location on the mental plane. Freedom awaits those that can and will reduce and eliminate this form of involutionary and ascendent energy transmission in favor of the more useful and practical form that we were invested with since the arrival of conscious awareness on this planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speak and ye shall find.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-7705048529904241001?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/7705048529904241001/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=7705048529904241001&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/7705048529904241001'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/7705048529904241001'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2008/03/keyis-in-thelock.html' title='The key....is in the...lock'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-1640726774102928927</id><published>2008-03-07T15:58:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2008-03-07T16:04:53.045-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Head in the right direction</title><content type='html'>So just how do we figure it all out? Our purpose based on our intention and revealed by our perceptions. If you had to do it another way, what would you consider? Writing a grocery list and stuffing it in your pocket? How about leaving a recorded message. Maybe just providing yourself with a series of clues (breadcrumbs sort of...)&lt;br /&gt;All these and more. Our awareness is often relegated to more egoic pursuits such as studying and copying and regurgitating etc. Fresh food for thought is always more satisfying and less dangerous for peace of mind, body and soul. Whenever you find yourself reflecting on events or even personalizing how things impact on you or affect your feelings, stop it! Needless circulating of the current only heats up the circuits and uses up precious time that is in short supply and great demand.&lt;br /&gt;Express yourself. Exchange with those that will receive your offerings openly and well. Receive all reasonable requests for attention with thanks. We have these gifts and tools for them to be used to our advantage and not to be wasted or squandered. It is up to you. Don't delay.&lt;br /&gt;The first step is always the hardest because it is the one that determines your start and the goal that you are headed for. So, now that we have realized that our thoughts are not "our own", this is a fundamental change in the way that we can appreciate and use that information. That inner dialogue that you believed was your own internal debate with yourself can now be seen for what it really is. A recursive and debilitating energy drain. Great thinkers? More like minimal time-wasters! As you have no doubt already experienced, your best actions come in that "spur-of-the-moment" inspirational flash where you are "in the groove" and operating at 100%. Not so much a train of thought as a jet propelled action-reaction.&lt;br /&gt;Can we rely on this method as a means of living properly? The proof is in the putting (into motion) as it were. Try it out. Accept that you are the instrument of your intention and that your perspective and ability to discern will permit you to accurately tune into what you need to do. Your intelligence has already paved the way for the correct action. You need only do what comes naturally. This innate sense of centricity is the key to exploiting and enjoying our lives and living itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all has a purpose and that purpose is you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-1640726774102928927?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/1640726774102928927/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=1640726774102928927&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1640726774102928927'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/1640726774102928927'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2008/03/head-in-right-direction.html' title='Head in the right direction'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-6907588945105456865</id><published>2008-03-07T15:56:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-03-07T15:58:33.766-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Food for thought</title><content type='html'>Most people are afraid to understand that their thoughts are not their own. The "cognitive" process is only an artifact of the descent of their own creative forces as they try to manifest themselves. Once this realization dawns on you.....it makes all the difference. No more interference just clarity.&lt;br /&gt; Inside-out is the only position that is useful. Stretch to see what is within and then expose it to the light. Whatever prospers and creates well-being is not to be touched for now but whatever looks, feels or smells like crap needs to be dumped as soon as possible. (Kind of like the hexadecimal dump after a programming error so you can see just what the heck is really happening...)&lt;br /&gt;Since thoughts are actually echoes and reverbrations of incoming descendent energy just how do you "stop" them? Obviously we are not interested in interrupting the transcendent flow of our own vital energy. There is a difference between the original and the artifact that allows us to differentiate them. As the incipient energy flow is "redirected" or "transduced" or "reflected" or "occulted" a certain adulteration of the vibrational state occurs. One of the easiest ways to recognize this altered state is to observe how the "recently added" piggybacked waveform affects your behavior. (Remember that vital energy is there to actuate our psychic processes as well as revealing and satisfying our real needs.)&lt;br /&gt;Like a feedback loop adding a screech to your favorite song, the psychological reaction to these forms is interpreted on the emotional plane in the form of feelings that affect your mental state. Apprehension, nervousness, elation, shame, guilt etc. When these feelings rear their ugly heads that is when you have to get out of yours. Since they will often manifest as internal dialogues (I know that seems strange but the only reference that they generate is forms that you recognize since they are coming from your own internal constructs.) you never want to have an internal conversation as such. This is the feedback loop that generates the signal that amplifies the emotivisation associated with the subducted waveform. Recognizing these forms and their effects puts you back in the driver's seat.&lt;br /&gt;Understandably, man is provided with the one power that all sentient beings possess, verbalized communication. It is this ability to express and raise the level of consciousness through the exchange of quanta of intelligence that allows us to continuously improve our situation. This exchange uses the medium of speech and instills in the words that we use to transmit this energy-form, the vibration of our source-knowledge as a quantifiable manifestation.&lt;br /&gt;When you speak to an issue, the sound of the words contains your intent while the sense of the words chosen conveys their meaning. Whether or not that issue concerns your internal structures and biases, this information is contained within the vibrational imprint of the emission and is available for scrutiny. What you see is what you get but what you hear is what you are.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-6907588945105456865?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/6907588945105456865/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=6907588945105456865&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6907588945105456865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6907588945105456865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2008/03/food-for-thought.html' title='Food for thought'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-2962162057387978606</id><published>2007-11-30T15:21:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T15:22:34.208-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Quantum cat leaps to a conclusion?</title><content type='html'>Perception depends on intention and intention is a function of awareness.

It is this "awareness" of classical objects that truncates and blends the quantum-mechanical fluctuations of state that would otherwise allow reality to be perceived for what it actually is......potential. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The subjective nature of reality is what delimits the confounding of alternatives so that we do not have to deal with unrealisable potentialities.  Quantum states can exist at the microcosmic level because they are beyond our perception and therefore free from our intention.  Our consciousness, to date, has been unable to grasp the implications of our existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the upcoming vectoral change in the nature of the evolution of consciousness, this perception will become a part of our ken and, as such, will allow the human mind to intuit the multiplicity of our existence to the point of being able to perceive even the minutest of eventualities.  In this way, our intention will be brought to bear on every aspect of our constitutions and the clarity with which we perceive ourselves will expand beyond the limits that we have become comfortable with in the past.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-2962162057387978606?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/2962162057387978606/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=2962162057387978606&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/2962162057387978606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/2962162057387978606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2007/11/quantum-cat-leaps-to-conclusion.html' title='Quantum cat leaps to a conclusion?'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-5821802441265570761</id><published>2007-11-17T11:14:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2008-06-25T11:56:22.844-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The ego, wtf is it?</title><content type='html'>Like the semi-silvered mirror in a laser device, the ego is a lens that allows the transmission of luminous energy. Like a lens, it is transparent but is subject to flaws and transmissive obstructions. Its purpose is to collimate and direct the focus of the energy that is being transmitted by the consciousness that provides it with its energy source. Unfortunately, in its semi-silvered state, it "creates" a nebulous image of the source of the transmission. As such, it acts as if the transmission had its origin point at that image. This is the ego-self that we perceive. Of all of the psychic structures, the ego takes the hit as far as responsibility is concerned for our physical manifestation. On the ethereal plane, the ego is the densest formation and is adjacent to and supported by the astral and inframental planes. The ego is positioned within one extreme of the vital body from whence your living energy is emitted and as such has a direct influence on your physical self. How it is influenced and directed by the higher planes of existance is an exercise in detective work for the interested and the aware.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of our selves and how we relate to our essence (source) the question becomes a bit more personal. We understand that we pervade our existance with a personalized perception of our surroundings. What we bring to life certainly seems to be germane to our progression as spirit beings. If this is the case then how do we match what we are doing with what is our purpose for doing these things? Like any good blueprint/recipe/instruction/directive the "cook" is the means to use the instruments to accomplish the purpose and although he may adjust quantities and alter methods.....trial and error does create a lot of errors....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, a droplet of water can be a "lens" and we can see the image of the source reflected in its surface even while transmission is taking place... The lens part was needed to focus our energy as the density of this plane is pretty damn tough for such a nebulous emission to penetrate. This is in part the reason why the ego is such a strong psychic structure. It also provides the exit point for the resonance pumping of the energy to allow it to gain sufficient strength so that the ego appears to control the emission. If it walks like a duck...etc. As we know, however, appearances can be deceiving. Purpose and design relate intimately to function and effect. A close look at our "personality" and its responses to various stimuli and situations provides all the clues that we need to follow that particular thread to its origin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what is it about the ego that makes it want and be able to steer our activity towards the combative and contestatory aspect of our interpersonal relations? We make a statement based on our point of view and full of our intent regarding a given subject and its influence/impact/meaning relative to our current place in reality as reported on by the intellect. Don't forget that the intellect is the "rational" part of the inframental region. The memorial content of the ego (actually the memorial content that lies between the descendant luminous energy and the egoic structure) colors this energy with the various aspects and conditions of our person"ality". This is the "subjective" aspect of the egoic process. If your level of consciousness does not permit you to be aware of these impediments to the perception of reality then you will be convinced by your thought "processes" that your position is "real" and therefore valid and justified. When we receive the comeback to our statement, it is processed and adjusted by our current condition. Comparisons and evaluations are then made between our initial statement and the resulting similarities and differences that are found. By looking at these comparisons in content, we define the intent and then start to adjust our vision of the position of our respondant. The degree to which the two positions are found to be in opposition creates an immediate feedback that perturbs the reactive memory. This perturbation produces emotive responses that generate feelings that can be very strong and quite visceral (physical). This is, in effect, a "short circuit" of the energy circulation system that bleeds away the consciousness raising factor in favor of the emotional fight or flight response. (One of the survival “instincts” retained by the psyche after the transformation of the instinctive memory.) Depending on the nature of the memorial content and how sensitive and how strongly these memorial chords are being struck determines the type and strength of the egoic response. This response is, however, an indicator of the underlying content of the memorial impediments and as such can be used by both parties to elucidate and illuminate the obscuring factors in play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Destruction of the ego is a touchy subject. The ego is how we manage to perceive ourselves in a physical and subjective way. What then is the ethereal and objective reality that we cannot perceive through the ego, and why is it so? The ego is the collimator and the agent of focus for all luminous energy transmissions that we undertake. As such, it relies on it's feedback mechanisms to ensure that it is able to properly perceive and actuate the forms that are required to be used or even created for our needs. Something like a baker mistaking his oven as the part of himself that is responsible for the bread that he makes. An important and necessary part but just one that is used for a specific purpose. A lens can be bidirectional. This is very useful when the source of the transmission needs to observe its current status and what aspects of itself and their functions need to be adjusted or refined. Introspection is the egoic method of self-examination. The transformation that can result from this process is superficial only and that is because the ego is looking in at itself! The ego's function in the inframental region is to collimate and transmit. There is no room for the ego to pick itself up by its bootstraps and change either its form nor its orientation. How then can real change come about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The transmutation of the egoic substance and material is a supramental function. The supramental region of the psychic reality of man is a plane of higher vibrational sensibility that exists within us all. Awareness and the use of this region involves accessing the psychic self. The psychic self is that part of our reality that is ready and waiting for its call into action. The call is energetic in nature and as such initiates with the source but depends on the ability of the psychological self to serve as conduit for the frequency and intensity raising of the consciousness that is available to us. This energy requires a resonance coupling to enable it to be perceived by and become useful in our physico-psychic reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One's Self&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ego is a mirrored lens&lt;br /&gt;that lets some of your light shine through,&lt;br /&gt;it's purpose is to show you how to live&lt;br /&gt;your life in your way too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Observe those shattered mirror's shards&lt;br /&gt;as they lay scattered all about.&lt;br /&gt;It's painful when you cut yourself&lt;br /&gt;as you attempt to join them back&lt;br /&gt;to what can never be again.&lt;br /&gt;For even if it could be done&lt;br /&gt;then all the cracks would still remain&lt;br /&gt;to show where all the faults had lain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is still one remaining hope&lt;br /&gt;that you must strive to see in time&lt;br /&gt;that in each smallest piece of you&lt;br /&gt;remains the essence of the whole.&lt;br /&gt;And even though you think it less,&lt;br /&gt;it's just as complete as it was&lt;br /&gt;but only smaller than before&lt;br /&gt;and even one small piece of you&lt;br /&gt;is just as precious as the rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opposition and the taking of a position. The ego's greatest strength and ultimate weakness is the requirement to validate it's appraisal of its location relative to the source and to the object of it's attention...... Building on what someone can share with us is a method of increasing awareness and raising the consciousness of both participants. The ego has little interest in this process and even less affinity for it. It requires a lot of will to look through and behind whatever is irrelevent (to you) in what you receive and only deal with what you can treat in what was sent to you. This is what the universal principle of respect is all about. Indeed flexibility is inherent as well as imposed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ego is constructed in such a way as to also incorporate adjustments and imperfections that accumulate with time. Such as? Each successive materialization serves to accumulate and organize our experiences into those areas of interest to our source. Of interest just means in energetic conformance with the adjustments needed to further the evolution of our consciousness. Like the fine tuning of a motor or other mechanical device, these adjustments are made "blindly" because we have neither the perspective nor the awarenesss of the role that our activity plays. As such (it was necessary so that the ego could be instilled with the consciousness necessary to permit the process in the first place) we tend to stumble along, seemingly destined to encounter events and support or endure them as the situation warrants. It is critical to realize that these situations were eminently planned out and arranged to allow us to complete the aforementioned task. The ego is just the device by which our consciousness was put "on hold" for the purpose of allowing us access to this experiential nexus. Once the preponderance of experience is accumulated, the process can then go to the next level and integration and reformulation of the mechanism can be started. The ego was and is the most flexible part of our psychic make-up and that is why it is "in charge" of our efforts here. That flexibility is part and parcel of the method and the manner by which we conceive and achieve our purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The elevation of consciousness is the transmutation of the ego from its semi reflective nature to an inverted fully transmissive state. The initial ego state conveys incipient psychic energy with intrinsic alteration (subduction, coloration, attenuation etc.) while also reflectng portions or percentages of this energy to internal psychic structures. The inverted and refurbished (uhhhh, reemed out, purified etc.) ego is like a semi silvered mirror that receives and transmits the signal while protecting the incipient luminous energy from sideband interference. The elevatory process requires openness and clarity. It is enacted through the stimulation of the psychic centres that are or will be opened by the various processes that the RTE (ready to elevate? ) individual undergoes during this phase of existance. The feedback and resonant loop that is created by the exchange of the vibratory psychic energy contained in the spoken word is the tool most apt to provide this impetus. The word is the form and the sound is the content. These aspects of transmission are the tools that can be used to adjust the internal mechanisms and allow them to function more and more adroitly. As the process continues, it gathers speed and efficacy and results in the ability of the subject to improve their understanding and comprehension of the method and its ramifications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why is the ego so fragile (brittle, stiff)? Why are some so fearful of challenge while others go about as if they were without fear? Whether you consider someone a narcissist or self-loathing or some other descriptor of the various egoic states of mind, everything relates to the emotive nature of the transmissions that the ego has to convey. The processing of this descendent psychic energy involves many verifications, in detail, with both the intellect and the reactive memory. In the current inframental plane, each transmission is subject to the coloration, attenuation or other adulteration caused by the various sub-forms that are present in the psychic structure. The virtually instantaneous nature of these actions makes it difficult to quantitatively discern each and every alteration but fortunately the qualitative nature of the vibration can be received completely and clearly. People are either oblivious to these aspects of self or are callowed into the belief that they are an "inherent" part of themselves for which nothing can be done. For instance, at times the very overbearing may believe themselves to be straitforward. Similarly, the reluctant believe that they have nothing to add so therefore should remain silent. It is only once an individual becomes aware of the real nature of themselves that they can fight and correct these deleterious aspects of self. In fact, all of these affectations are but improperly oriented characteristics of the psychic make-up and need of the being. Every quality can be a fault and vice versa while knowing when and how to use them is the key to fulfillment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the process of the raising of consciousness, little has been said of the resonance amplification of descendent luminous energy by verbal exchange. In the course of normal communications (both verbal and non-verbal) the ego intercedes and dominates the entire process. Due to its function as a delimiter of boundaries (with the reactive memory) and a comparator of values (through the intellect) it manages and controls the "relative" importance and value of all energetic transmissions and thusly, all communications. The problem associated with this activity is that the inter-relation between acceptance and retention is altered in the favor of the stifling and reduction in vibratory quality and quantity of any exchange between two individuals. What happens is that elements of the personality color and drain the transmission of its intent and meaning, thus rendering it subject to domination by these aspects and the end result is the establishment of a heirarchy of energy flow that results in the oppression of one and the exaltation of the other. Not at all conducive to effective communication and of no use whatsoever in consciousness raising. In fact, what is needed is the realization that when someone communicates with you, there is present in the vibratory nature of the sound and the word that reveals much of that individuals own psychic structure. When the recipient considers this as such, he is able to build upon this structure and add to it. Much like receiving a gift, reciprocation is the expression of the universal principle of respect. Like building a foundation with bricks, once you have placed the brick, it is there for future use and remains as a support for future additions. It must be noted that in all communications there is an establishment of parity that must exist between the acceptance and retention that exists in both of the participants. This parity adjusts the "level" of the exchange and allows the free flow of energy to circulate without hindrance. The dynamic effect of this circulation is of paramount importance in the restructuring and refurbishing of the psychic structures of the individual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ego also serves as the "plug" in the mental conduit responsible for the transmission of our psychic energy. Plug as in the sense of a window that has become very dirty over time. What light that manages to get through tends to be affected and colored by the obstructions and veils that cover it. While all of these colorations obscure the transmission, they also reveal their presence. As well as revealing their presence, they divulge information about their make-up and their origins. Careful attention to their constitution reveals much about your individual character as well as the ways that you manifest your presence in all of the existential planes. Like a laser beam that removes a tattoo from between the layers of translucent skin, the shedding of light on these obstructions, clarifies and diminishes their presence. Obviously, as the process proceeds, more and more light is allowed through the window as it gets cleaner. The more light that is transmitted, the stronger the signal that can be used to get at the pesky stains...... With time and practice, your workouts will provide you with the muscle necessary to take on the hardest and most persistant memorial residues. The exploration of the self is the greatest journey of all.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-5821802441265570761?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/5821802441265570761/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=5821802441265570761&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/5821802441265570761'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/5821802441265570761'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2007/11/ego-wtf-is-it.html' title='The ego, wtf is it?'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-9076426496213636220</id><published>2007-11-16T10:54:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T10:59:25.826-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Your thoughts are not your own.</title><content type='html'>The void is in fact the creative space that you must allow to manifest within yourself. This void is the location where your source contacts you and which is usually filled by the intellect by default. This is where the concept of free will is illusory. We have the ability to discern the potential and exercise judgement in the execution of our purpose. Since we were an active part of the establishment of that purpose we have already exercised our option. Being in the present moment and activating all of our potential is really living. The "living-dead" who are not aware of their real purpose will have to wait for their next opportunity. In the meantime, we must go about our business. The possibilities are only limited by our perception and awareness. This is the real awakening and the raising of consciousness which is the portal through which we must pass to accede to those higher planes of existance that await.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you avail yourself and receive openly, the pleasure and benefit is always mutual. As such, the receipt is the ultimate liberation of intention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confluence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twisting, turning, unrelenting&lt;br /&gt;Dark and deep and never ending&lt;br /&gt;Seemingly we have no choice, but&lt;br /&gt;When we try and raise our voice, we&lt;br /&gt;Often call to those beside us&lt;br /&gt;Hoping they will hear and help us&lt;br /&gt;Often just to realize that they too&lt;br /&gt;Are struggling just to stay afloat.&lt;br /&gt;How can we then hope to persist&lt;br /&gt;And even more than just survive&lt;br /&gt;What will we do, how to proceed&lt;br /&gt;Is there hope, not to be denied?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recall that in our darkest moments&lt;br /&gt;Even as our failing gestures&lt;br /&gt;Confirmed the power of that river&lt;br /&gt;And the breadth of its mighty course&lt;br /&gt;That together, sensing pressures&lt;br /&gt;Feeling currents, testing efforts&lt;br /&gt;We will find both rest and pleasure&lt;br /&gt;On the way to where we’re destined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mechanisms that produce our communications are many and diverse. The common thread is the connection between our source and the receiver. How we can interpret these emanations depends directly on how we perceive and understand the underlying motivation of the processes that can affect the emission as it makes its way into our field of perception. There is a direct relation between the thought process and the imperfections that occlude the direct and integral descent of our purpose and meaning. Thoughts are the reflections of our descendant energy off of these forms. Deciphering the inherent difference between the reflection and the incipient energy is how we can discern the real meaning of any communication. Empaths are people whose sensitivity is geared to an acute ability to tune in to specific emotional tendencies of those with whom they are in communication (verbal and non-verbal). This sensitivity is, however, a two-edged sword as it interferes with and exacerbates their ability to discern and describe their own conditions, to their detriment. You must take great care to not be hood-winked into trying to care for others and not realizing that caring for yourself takes precedence. A sick doctor is a bad doctor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you find that the exhiliration that you undergo during such experiences tends to sap your vitality to an extent that seems unfair? It is the warning sign that must not be ignored. Sensitives have an opportunity that is diametrically opposed by the involutive forces that reside within themselves. This balance is necessary for their own protection but is also the key to the progress of their own evolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does being in the moment and not having to think about what you are doing mean a loss of control? In essence, it means a loss of egoic control over the reflection of the energy that is available to you to accomplish the task at hand. The ego is the mechanism by which descendant luminous energy is collimated, directed and focused through the physical entity to accomplish those actions required by our adherance to the plan that we established prior to our arrival in this plane. Reflections are just pale imitations of reality. As such they contain very little in the way of energy and can often be distorted and warped in ways that belie their connection to the original emission as well as leading the user of the remaining energy away from his original intent and need. The ego was designed and established to permit the functioning of the internal psychic processes while the experiential requirements of your source-self were acquired. Having a "life" of its own was necessary as was the installation of "markers" that serve both as shock-absorbers and indicators of the kinds and types of experience that are to be obtained. In fact this life is a reflection of the source-self as transmitted through the psychic-self which awaits the accumulation of the adjusted material experiences. The ego intercepts and interprets the reflections of luminous energy and relates them to its required functions. These reflections are perceived as communications that exist as thought forms. A thought form is just a warning buzzer that your package has arrived and that you should collect and use it. Unfortunately, the thought form can become part of an internal dialogue that resembles a conversation or exchange with oneself. Thus reflections of reflections bleed away the incipient energy and result in the ego directing virtually nothing while all the time being very very busy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what the hell are thoughts good for? Well they stir up emotions that can lead you to unintelligent acts (I differentiate between irrational and unintelligent, as irrational can be fun and instructive while unintelligent always leads to less well-being than you had before them...) They can send you round in circles, debating your "position" on things endlessly and wasting powerful brain energy instead of using that same energy to resolve the situation at hand. They can occupy your sensory apparatus (thinking up something to say while the person who is taking the time and effort to speak to you is conveying valuable information) so that you neither completely nor effectively complete the communication "circuit" with the person who is addressing you. In fact, their only use is as a locator beacon for their essence which can only be readily discerned during the conscious exchange process with another individual that is partaking in the energy field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thoughts are related to reincarnation? Thoughts are the reflections of previous experiences that "clog" the structures of the conduits (universal circuits) that convey your descendent energy. Each experience leaves its imprint (memory, remember that?) in your circuitry and was ideally supposed to charge a specific battery with a particular energy. If that energy was never extracted from the life experience then it became a memorial form and continued to reside in the astral plane, adjacent to, but intervening between, the supra and infra mental regions. The reactive memory and the intellect had previously been created to provide the ego with its checks and balances (omg that sounds like another invisible government...but I suppose that the Hermetic principle applies everywhere) but has the nasty habit of not cleaning up after itself. Leftovers tend to go bad and food-for-thought poisoning occurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why RE-incarnate at all? Why can't we get what we need in a one-stop shop? Initially, you needed to regenerate yourself but there was a problem....no convenient way to do it... (You can lead a soul to experience but you can't make it integrate it.) So your source provided your spirit with a plan and booted your butt into the material plane to get the job done. Talk about super-egos.... The situations that we encounter would normally require learning the task and practising it to get the kinks out. The difficulty is that our vibrational state is not sufficient to take care of all of the aspects of these tasks. Kind of like an apprentice that makes some errors while learning the trade. Coming to grips with this situation and all the associated phenomena is the first step in the right direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if thoughts are just echos and pale imitations of our descendant psychic energy, what the heck is that psychic energy supposed to be doing? Once man got past the survival aspects of his existance, he realized that there was more to life that just living. At least living in survival mode. As much as we try to occupy ourselves with various philosophical and tactile experiences, we always find them lacking and want to determine just what our purpose and meaning is. The universe is a pretty amazing place. Not only is it infinite but it is eternal as well. Since the universe seems able to maintain and support its fundamental principles without too much apparent effort and we are a very definite part of this universe......how come we seem so ephemeral and inconsequential? The answer lies not only in the stars but also in ourselves. We are the keys to our own existance. We contain all that we need to become all that we are and all that we will ever need to be. On a cosmic level, a man or an atom or a quark are all pretty much the same. The one thing that they have in common and that allows them to be differentiated is the information that they carry within themselves. We need only learn how to discern and employ that information and we will be well on our way to self realisation. How we get at and exploit that information depends on the nature of energy and its fundamental methods of amplification. A nuclear explosion is just the odd atom bumping into another in a specific and particular fashion. Once you know the secret of feedback loops, the cat is out of the bag and Schrodinger will testify to its being very much alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, lost in your thoughts? Of course you are, what else could you be? You wanted to drain the swamp but forgot your initial goal when you got up to your ass in alligators! Internal dialogues are not constructive nor are they progressive. They are simply reflective. Reflection is the pale imitation of the mental transmission process. Repeated reflection is not only a time-waster but it is also an energy depleter. Without the gain boost of the resonance loop that strengthens external communication, the resonance boost that results from passive reflection sends all of the energy into the memorial residues and repositories that benefit from them to our detriment. Suffice it to say that even an echo comes from a source that is impassive and unable to interact with you otherwise. When you "engage" and energize your residual memories, you raise them up vibrationally and strengthen them psychically. This is NOT good for you, as the ego is then more subject to their influence and interference. Living in the moment requires that you not only ignore but that you also expunge the value and tenor of any memorial residues that impinge on your psychic processes. This can be achieved by verbal resonant exchange with another person who is able to receive and transpond with your vibrational phase and level. Action and activity CREATES memories and is not subject to them. You are making your own "mix tape" that represents your progression and your evolution. Do not be fooled nor influenced by the crosstalk signals that find their way into your ken. They have their own agenda and requirements and are in no way looking out for you and your interests.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-9076426496213636220?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/9076426496213636220/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=9076426496213636220&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/9076426496213636220'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/9076426496213636220'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2007/11/your-thoughts-are-not-your-own.html' title='Your thoughts are not your own.'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-2320851367369134077</id><published>2007-11-16T10:40:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-11-16T11:01:09.637-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Non Duality</title><content type='html'>Dice never end up on edge, but we do…Albert may have thought that God did not play dice with the universe but He placed it there for us to perceive it physically as an object based on our point of view and quintessentially subject to quantum dynamics based on our intent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resonance&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resonance creates in beings&lt;br /&gt;the ability to be all seeing&lt;br /&gt;and what you have that needs be seen&lt;br /&gt;its all that you have ever been.&lt;br /&gt;You can proceed upon these journeys&lt;br /&gt;your heart and spirit are the keys&lt;br /&gt;providing this is sure to feed&lt;br /&gt;and satisfy most every need.&lt;br /&gt;So once you have all this acquired&lt;br /&gt;you will no longer need be mired&lt;br /&gt;in the morass of your soul&lt;br /&gt;free once again to know your all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or with each increase in your ability to discern, the clearer your vision of that which remains to be discerned. And that duality exists and is differentiated absolutely is the ultimate lie for duality depends upon perception and that is intrinsic to self. Being in the moment is absolute freedom, for in that moment you are free from all other moments.&lt;br /&gt;We only fail to see that which we hide from ourselves. The source and cause remains for us to determine and illuminate with our own light. Picture two tetrahedra joined at their apices and the center of the space where they join is your center and the balance and the symmetry that they present is your presence in all worlds of existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finest gift, acknowledgement. The ultimate need, recognition. Only through the exchange that is established by mutual respect and complete openness will we achieve our absolute potential. The form can never be destroyed by the ego but it can be transformed by the absence of ego.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A key to the use of common forms to reveal the intrinsic non-duality of consciousness is in the ability of our persons (this excludes the personality which is the ego's memorial dumping ground for intrusive conditioning) to converse on a level and in a manner that transcends cognitive effort. You read these words (sadly, were they in a sound format, the effect would be obvious) and no matter how you understand them, you know that I said them with a meaning and an intention. The vibe that you pick up from them is exactly what their purpose was. That purpose is then achieved once you use that springboard to raise yourself to where you too reveal your inner self to yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ego and the intellect, if left to their own devices, will analyze and decorticate each and every syllable such that all sense is lost and we become mired in what is a word soup that is too bland to enjoy. Throw away the cookbook, get out the fresh ingredients and start creating. Bon appetit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The vibration is the fount of creativity. "Let there be light" and you will be able to see for miles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's not forget the fullness of the void. The universal principle of balance ensures that the sum of all things adds up to zero. No matter how far away from that point you may find yourself, you can know that you are still contained within its parameters. This has one very practical application in everyday life. You don't need to be a yogic master nor a guru nor a genius to observe that people who remain calm and level-headed (I really like that term because it implies that your head can be unlevel at times.....) are able to withstand and benefit from pretty much any kind of experience. Once we understand the nature of the program that we have invested our time in, it becomes clear that we are in the midst of a supreme balancing act. Finding just the right way to handle situations is a question of our receptivity being all-inclusive while using our ability to discern to select the appropriate action and form. Life is not just an experiment, it is an experience to be savoured and exploited to the maximum extent. Fine-tuning is the best way to home in on the signal and to finally be able to receive, comprehend and fulfill the purpose of the exercise.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-2320851367369134077?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/2320851367369134077/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=2320851367369134077&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/2320851367369134077'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/2320851367369134077'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2007/11/non-duality.html' title='Non Duality'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-6916772435596603652</id><published>2007-08-27T21:14:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-27T21:18:51.236-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The inframental region</title><content type='html'>The sentience that exists within man was the result of the transcendent illumination of the interior of the egoic self. This illumination came from the first descent of psychic energy from the source that fractured the nascent psyche in the earliest homo sapiens. This event engendered self-awareness and was the natural progression caused by the loss of the ancestral instinctive memory that was transformed into the inframental region and the reactive memory. The vibrational state of the inframental region encompasses the mind’s psychological nature as well as the inferior psychic structures. All of these structures are below the level of the astral plane, and these lower ethereal regions are separated from the ego by the dream state level of consciousness. The inframental region supports and receives its illumination from the higher ethereal planes of consciousness. These higher supramental ethereal planes are where the psychic body is located as well as where all forms of psychic energy originate and emanate from. All of the various thought forms and reflections that the human mind is subject to, as well as all of the egoic impressions that are conceived during mentation and cogitation are developed in the inframental region but originate in the higher ethereal planes before being adjusted (altered/contaminated/reflected) during their descent towards the ego. The inframental region is the buffer that was created by the spirit that allowed for the installation of the program that the physical being was to endure and recoup during its various incarnations. All of the memorial aspects of these attempts to fulfill the requirements of the source are stored in the astral body and as such contribute greatly and create much of the « interference » and alterations that occur during telegenic transmissions within the mental conduit. Kind of like painting layers over a stained glass window and trying to look through it at the same time. The purpose of the exercise is to adjust and cleanse the entire process by completing the program as designed. Once this is acheived, the descent of luminous energy from the higher ethereal planes can be accomplished and the eventual conversion of the various elements of the inframental region can be undertaken. This process is a necessary precursor to the eventual ascension of the personality to the person and the creation of the psychic being. This is necessary for the further evolution of the individual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When our instinctive memory was converted to reactive memory, the emotional component was melded with the transmission mechanism. As such, whenever descendant energy is reflected or adulterated by the components and adjustments to the structure the corresponding vibration associated with this effect impinges directly on the emotional centres of the psyche. Your mental processes are supposed to be glacially clear. We tend to get excited and emotional when faced with the requirement to deal with high-powered situations. This is the "leakage" that these vibes cause. Of course, our real feelings and emotions like joy, fear, happiness, hatred(of our condition and the conditions that others are obliged to support) are normal and needed. Just the emotional content of our usual mental processes are the clues that there is something that needs to be cleaned up before we can make full use of them.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-6916772435596603652?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/6916772435596603652/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=6916772435596603652&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6916772435596603652'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6916772435596603652'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2007/08/inframental-region.html' title='The inframental region'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-1834248976991642665</id><published>2007-08-27T21:13:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-27T21:14:39.691-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Telegenic Transmission of descendant energy</title><content type='html'>The transmission of luminous energy depends on the interface between intervening levels of vibrational states. The initial quantity of energy contained in the emission is negligible but its vibrational state is infinitely high. As the energy form descends it creates a shock wavefront that preceeds it through the descent. This wavefront is the vibrational phase of the transmission. Each interface is a lens that serves to focus and concentrate the energy wave form. This rectification also ensures that at each transition point between levels, the energy is collimated into a state that is consistant and compatible with the state that is being passed through. This ensures that the carrier wave is impregnated with the « pedigree » of the energy level in question. This phenomenon results from the process of refining the energy form towards perfection. Luminous energy is both vibrational and corpuscular in nature. its corpuscular nature is of use for progagation through the various ethereal levels that it must traverse as well as the transformation of luminous energy into sonic vibrations. The human psyche and the mental conduit deal with and make use of the vibrational nature of light and its materialized sonic homologue to define and refine the various original, transitional and final states of any energy form. Telepathy is rarely a distinct word form method of energy transmission or information definition. The use of reactive memorial forms to accomodate or duplicate various thought forms can lead to the interpretation of « voices » being heard but these auditory simulations are but illusory in nature. Sonic energy is, however, the only form that transcends both the physical and ethereal realms. A sound in the form of a word contains harmonic vibrations that can adjust or reset both material and ethereal wave-forms as movement or orientation.

Ultimately, consciousness is dependent on the frame of reference that engenders it. Frames of reference have historically been considered to be relative to a given point. That given point was a construction based on the INTERNAL mechanics of the human mind. The conjuction of the Ego-self, the Intellect and the Reactive memory resulted in the selection of self-referencing points of view. Thus, the rational and subjective nature of human consciousness dealt with subjects and objects, that it was aware of, in the perceived reality of the physical universe. Other possibilities were considered by the ego-self to be of philosophical interest only and not to be of any practical importance. The intellect can only compute and define known quantites, while the reactive memory supplies information concerning only those occurances that it can sequentially access. An absolute frame of reference would be one that applied to all situations irrespective of conscious awareness. The existence of an absolute and objective reference would only be possible if a singular and completely objective point of origin existed. This singularity would need to be common to all things if it were to be a frame of reference that applied in all situations and circumstances. The only pre-requisite for such a point of origin would be its ability to be perceived at all locations needing to use it as a point of reference. Perception is a function of sensitivity. Sensitivity depends on the degree to which a system, or item within a system, is able to react to and interact with all other items in its proximity. Proximity refers to the locality where there is potential to use the information generated by the subsequent activity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-4215406491815488915?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/4215406491815488915/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=4215406491815488915&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4215406491815488915'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/4215406491815488915'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2007/08/what-is-consciousness.html' title='What is consciousness?'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-8234924735031269942</id><published>2007-08-27T21:09:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-27T21:11:38.910-04:00</updated><title type='text'>THE FIVE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES</title><content type='html'>THE FIVE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 - Everything that has or will exist is one form of energy or another. Energy and existence are interrelated and indistinguishable in their purest form, which consists of the absolute duality of light (particulate and wave or movement and thought). This duality is the result of the differentiation of light from matter that permitted matter (and therefore thought) to travel faster than light. This was necessary to create a time-delayed frame of reference to allow information about vibrational states to be exchanged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 – Overall balance is maintained no matter what the nature of the disturbance The inter-relationship of all forms of energy and existence (similar to the quantum theory and effects of state) ensures that parity is maintained and that any perturbation that occurs is matched and counter-balanced by a sufficient and exact (if not immediate or proximate) change of an opposite nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 – All forms of energy tend toward a more and more refined and perfected state. To achieve the ultimately most stable energy state, all forms of energy eventually attain a state that is more and more stable. Stability is defined as the existence of vibrational harmony that exists between similar or dissimilar energy states.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4 – All forms of energy tend to radiate from a point of origin or concentration. The process of refinement or selectivity is defined by the attenuation of the vibrational nature of the energy form. This attenuation is directly proportional to the state of refinement. As a state of perfection is approached, the energy form decreases in strength but increases in coherence (and therefore concentration).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 – The confluence of energy forms results in the mutual respect of the other’s form. When different energy forms or fields meet or interact, the recognition and adaptation of one to the other is a direct consequence of the three preceeding principles. The consciousness associated with sentience is a form of this principle which instills the need to develop and exchange the nature of the energy forms or fields produced or transmitted.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-8234924735031269942?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/8234924735031269942/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=8234924735031269942&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8234924735031269942'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/8234924735031269942'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2007/08/five-universal-principles.html' title='THE FIVE UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-3802615112424236673</id><published>2007-08-27T21:07:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-27T21:09:51.206-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Thoughts are not what you think they are.</title><content type='html'>And what if the thoughts that you formulate (?) in your mind were not cogitations but regurgitations from some other (than your intent) source?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mind’s formation and construction was expressly designed to retrieve and (eventually) disseminate vital energy. This vital energy is creative in its descendant form and is transformational in its ascendant form. All forms of psychic energy display their inherent duality by the way that they can be modulated during reception or transmission. This duality serves to allow information to be incorporated into the qualitative nature of the energy form. The quantitative nature of the energy form can also be modified as a result of translational exchange. When the energy is received and retransmitted, its strength can be augmented or decreased depending on the vibrational frequency of the receiver or transmitter. This boosting or attenuation of the signal is of paramount importance as it determines the nature of the informational exchange that can be possible between two or more individuals. The conduit that is the human mind perceives and transmits psychic energy by means of induction. This induction can be described as the process whereby the concentration of psychic energy creates a pressure that causes a transfer of energy locally to areas that are lower in vibrational state. At more rarified ethereal planes, this energy is very highly concentrated. As this osmotic process continues, the pressure gradient is established relative to the density of each successive ethereal plane. Upon arrival in the material plane, the effect of physical manifestation is as nebulous as the rarification of the plane from which the original emanation occured. This process depends upon the psychic energy gradient established within the individual and is a direct function of the internal structure including its various alterations and occlusions, if present. The purpose of the mind is to be the mental conduit for the transmission of vibrational energy between our absolute/infinite/eternal source to our relational/finite/ephemeral physical self. This « waveguide » was required and created by the source-being to allow for the restructuring and the restoration of all of the intervening levels of existance. A « waveguide » is any structure that allows a transmission passage from one location to another. Necessarily, the composition and structure of the « waveguide » will influence the nature of the emergent energy form. The most prevalent and readily described aspect of this process is the creation and transmission of thought forms. A thought form can be defined as the presence of psychic energy as detected by the mind when reflection of vital energy by the internal psychic structure occurs. This psychic energy , under ideal conditions, is intended to provide instantaneous feedback between what the energy was intended for and what it is actually doing. In this feedback loop, the structure and inherent imperfections adjust and contaminate the initial signal. It is our perception and interpretation of these adulterations that the ego-self interprets as the cognitive process. « I think, therefore I am …… I think? » A thought is our perception of the subducted wave-form that is present in any psychic energy transmission. Depending on the area through which the energy passes, it picks up this sympathetic vibration and carries it along with it. It is this subducted form that is perceived first and given credence and importance as it « matches » the vibrational state of the current location of the psychic energy wave transmission. The ego has awareness of the physical realm but it is cut-off from the higher planes of existance by the buffer of the inframental portion of the mind. This buffer is in place as an « energy-barrier » to ensure that the mental structures have been sufficiently adjusted prior to the receipt of pure and unadulterated psychic energy. The higher planes of existance are all part of the continuum of life that permeates all sentient beings. They exist but can only be perceived by that part of the self that is attuned to their vibrational state. It is the eventual fusion of all of these disparate aspects of the human psyche that will restore the complete and fully real nature of man. The different heirarchical levels (by vibrational and ethereal energy conformation are : The universal self – absolute life energy, existance The source self – the indivisible portion of individual life The ethereal self – the psychic energy being The conscious self – the supramental psychic being The unconscious self – the psychological ego being The physical self – the physiological receptacle Once joined together, the universal self is able to manifest itself at all levels of existance. The source self will then adhere to and exploit the five universal principles of life.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-3802615112424236673?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/3802615112424236673/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=3802615112424236673&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3802615112424236673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3802615112424236673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2007/08/thoughts-are-not-what-you-think-they.html' title='Thoughts are not what you think they are.'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-6627554118311573421</id><published>2007-08-27T20:57:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-08-27T21:04:59.901-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The ego</title><content type='html'>Like the semi-silvered mirror in a laser device, the ego is a lens that allows the transmission of luminous energy. Like a lens, it is transparent but is subject to flaws and transmissive obstructions. Its purpose is to collimate and direct the focus of the energy that is being transmitted by the consciousness that provides it with its energy source. Unfortunately, in its semi-silvered state, it "creates" a nebulous image of the source of the transmission. As such, it acts as if the transmission had its origin point at that image. This is the ego-self that we perceive. Of all of the psychic structures, the ego takes the hit as far as responsibility is concerned for our physical manifestation. On the ethereal plane, the ego is the densest formation and is adjacent to and supported by the astral and inframental planes. The ego is positioned within one extreme of the vital body from whence your living energy is emitted and as such has a direct influence on your physical self. How it is influenced and directed by the higher planes of existance is an exercise in detective work for the interested and the aware.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lens part was needed to focus our energy as the density of this plane is pretty damn tough for such a nebulous emission to penetrate. This is in part the reason why the ego is such a strong psychic structure. It also provides the exit point for the resonance pumping of the energy to allow it to gain sufficient strength so that the ego appears to control the emission. If it walks like a duck...etc. As we know, however, appearances can be deceiving. Purpose and design relate intimately to function and effect. A close look at our "personality" and its responses to various stimuli and situations provides all the clues that we need to follow that particular thread to its origin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what is it about the ego that makes it want and be able to steer our activity towards the combative and contestatory aspect of our interpersonal relations? We make a statement based on our point of view and full of our intent regarding a given subject and its influence/impact/meaning relative to our current place in reality as reported on by the intellect. Don't forget that the intellect is the "rational" part of the inframental region. The memorial content of the ego (actually the memorial content that lies between the descendant luminous energy and the egoic structure) colors this energy with the various aspects and conditions of our person"ality". This is the "subjective" aspect of the egoic process. If your level of consciousness does not permit you to be aware of these impediments to the perception of reality then you will be convinced by your thought "processes" that your position is "real" and therefore valid and justified. When we receive the comeback to our statement, it is processed and adjusted by our current condition. Comparisons and evaluations are then made between our initial statement and the resulting similarities and differences that are found. By looking at these comparisons in content, we define the intent and then start to adjust our vision of the position of our respondant. The degree to which the two positions are found to be in opposition creates an immediate feedback that perturbs the reactive memory. This perturbation produces emotive responses that generate feelings that can be very strong and quite visceral (physical). This is, in effect, a "short circuit" of the energy circulation system that bleeds away the consciousness raising factor in favor of the emotional fight or flight response. (One of the survival “instincts” retained by the psyche after the transformation of the instinctive memory.) Depending on the nature of the memorial content and how sensitive and how strongly these memorial chords are being struck determines the type and strength of the egoic response. This response is, however, an indicator of the underlying content of the memorial impediments and as such can be used by both parties to elucidate and illuminate the obscuring factors in play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ego is how we manage to perceive ourselves in a physical and subjective way. What then is the ethereal and objective reality that we cannot perceive through the ego, and why is it so? The ego is the collimator and the agent of focus for all luminous energy transmissions that we undertake. As such, it relies on it's feedback mechanisms to ensure that it is able to properly perceive and actuate the forms that are required to be used or even created for our needs. Something like a baker mistaking his oven as the part of himself that is responsible for the bread that he makes. An important and necessary part but just one that is used for a specific purpose. A lens can be bidirectional. This is very useful when the source of the transmission needs to observe its current status and what aspects of itself and their functions need to be adjusted or refined. Introspection is the egoic method of self-examination. The transformation that can result from this process is superficial only and that is because the ego is looking in at itself! The ego's function in the inframental region is to collimate and transmit. There is no room for the ego to pick itself up by its bootstraps and change either its form nor its orientation. How then can real change come about? The transmutation of the egoic substance and material is a supramental function. The supramental region of the psychic reality of man is a plane of higher vibrational sensibility that exists within us all. Awareness and the use of this region involves accessing the psychic self. The psychic self is that part of our reality that is ready and waiting for its call into action. The call is energetic in nature and as such initiates with the source but depends on the ability of the psychological self to serve as conduit for the frequency and intensity raising of the consciousness that is available to us. This energy requires a resonance coupling to enable it to be perceived by and become useful in our physico-psychic reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opposition and the taking of a position.  The ego's greatest strength and ultimate weakness is the requirement to validate it's appraisal of its location relative to the source and to the object of it's attention......Building on what someone can share with us is a method of increasing awareness and raising the consciousness of both participants. The ego has little interest in this process and even less affinity for it. It requires a lot of will to look through and behind whatever is irrelevent (to you) in what you receive and only deal with what you can treat in what was sent to you. This is what the universal principle of respect is all about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed flexibility is inherent as well as imposed. The ego is constructed in such a way as to also incorporate adjustments and imperfections that accumulate with time. Such as? Each successive materialization serves to accumulate and organize our experiences into those areas of interest to our source. Of interest just means in energetic conformance with the adjustments needed to further our own spiritual evolution. Like the fine tuning of a motor or other mechanical device, these adjustments are made "blindly" because we have neither the perspective nor the awarenesss of the role that our activity plays. As such (it was necessary so that the ego could be instilled with the consciousness necessary to permit the process in the first place) we tend to stumble along, seemingly destined to encounter events and support or endure them as the situation warrants. It is critical to realize that these situations were eminently planned out and arranged to allow us to complete the aforementioned task. The ego is just the device by which our consciousness was put "on hold" for the purpose of allowing us access to this experiential nexus. Once the preponderance of experience is accumulated, the process can then go to the next level and integration and reformulation of the mechanism can be started. The ego was and is the most flexible part of our psychic make-up and that is why it is "in charge" of our efforts here. That flexibility is part and parcel of the method and the manner by which we conceive and achieve our purpose.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-6627554118311573421?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/6627554118311573421/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=6627554118311573421&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6627554118311573421'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/6627554118311573421'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2007/08/ego.html' title='The ego'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-3741019131407124799</id><published>2007-06-12T07:24:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-06-12T07:25:23.453-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Telegenic transmission of descendant energy</title><content type='html'>The transmission of luminous energy depends on the interface between intervening levels of vibrational states. The initial quantity of energy contained in the emission is negligible but its vibrational state is infinitely high. As the energy form descends it creates a shock wavefront that preceeds it through the descent. This wavefront is the vibrational phase of the transmission. Each interface is a lens that serves to focus and concentrate the energy wave form. This rectification also ensures that at each transition point between levels, the energy is collimated into a state that is consistant and compatible with the state that is being passed through. This ensures that the carrier wave is impregnated with the « pedigree » of the energy level in question. This phenomenon results from the process of refining the energy form towards perfection.&lt;br /&gt;Luminous energy is both vibrational and corpuscular in nature. its corpuscular nature is of use for progagation through the various ethereal levels that it must traverse as well as the transformation of luminous energy into sonic vibrations. The human psyche and the mental conduit deal with and make use of the vibrational nature of light and its materialized sonic homologue to define and refine the various original, transitional and final states of any energy form.&lt;br /&gt;Telepathy is rarely a distinct word form method of energy transmission or information definition. The use of reactive memorial forms to accomodate or duplicate various thought forms can lead to the interpretation of « voices » being heard but these auditory simulations are but illusory in nature. Sonic energy is, however, the only form that transcends both the physical and ethereal realms. A sound in the form of a word contains harmonic viobrations that can adjust or reset both material and ethereal wave-forms as movement or orientation.&lt;br /&gt;As energy descends through the increasingly dense levels of existance, it is subject to interference, adulteration and attenuation that depend on the quality and degree of the obturations and complications that are to be passed through. The « pure » or instantaneous original transmission is clear, absolute and effective. The eventual final product emitted depends on the state and vibrational energy of the structures contained within the mental conduit.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-3741019131407124799?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/3741019131407124799/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=3741019131407124799&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3741019131407124799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3741019131407124799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2007/06/telegenic-transmission-of-descendant.html' title='Telegenic transmission of descendant energy'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460176111048058213.post-3762535467852695355</id><published>2007-06-12T07:17:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-06-12T07:20:30.797-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The inductive mind</title><content type='html'>The human mind has developed over time to retrieve, process and disseminate the vital energy that is available to it through the conduit established between itself in the physical plane and its energetic form in the ethereal plane. Using an inductive process, the sensory receptors in the brain are able to respond to the subtle electro-magnetic flows in its proximity. The brain then transduces these emanations into psychic forms (as psychic perception or what is commonly experienced as cognition) or electrochemical energy that is then transmitted by the neuronal synapses as chemical signals that cause physical activity.&lt;br /&gt;Self-awareness is a consequence of this perceptive ability as all of these inductions create both recognition and activity in the cerebral cortex. The vast majority of the brain mass is dedicated to this intrasensory reception and transmission and as the energy flows are interdimensional, they do not interact readily with other physical detection apparatus. The "extra-dimensional" aspect of this process allows for the sentient being to be aware of what is proceeding and the intra-dimensional aspect is what occupies and preoccupies the sentient being when both awake or asleep.&lt;br /&gt;The human thought process is a corruption (or more correctly an error correction mechanism) of the pure psychic energy that is transmitted by the ethereal self. Error correction is needed due to the transformation of the psychic energy as it descends through the various vibrational planes that exist between its source and the mind. Psychic energy has the quality of tuning itself to reflect every energy state that it passes through. This characteristic means that as it enters the inductive mind it creates recognition of the higher vibrational states that it has passed through.&lt;br /&gt;Each of these imprints are correspondingly more and more dense as they approach the vibrational state of the inductive mind. In this way, the source is able to temper the content and intensity of its transmissions to suit and condition the vibrational state of the mind. Once received, the mind translates the different aspects of the energy transmitted into the various cognitive, psycho-active and physical manifestations of mental activity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1460176111048058213-3762535467852695355?l=aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/feeds/3762535467852695355/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1460176111048058213&amp;postID=3762535467852695355&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3762535467852695355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1460176111048058213/posts/default/3762535467852695355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aviewfromthemindsi.blogspot.com/2007/06/inductive-mind.html' title='The inductive mind'/><author><name>PJB</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11404602550746957237</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_vOFXk--u-dQ/SE7uPDV1WcI/AAAAAAAAAAM/nv_tBgkkGN4/S220/Cuba+07+050.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
