Spirituality Guide

What it seems to point at is that the only constant seems to be Consciousness, and that reality is a construct of Consciousness - if that is so, then it would seem eminently feasible for there to be more than one truth while we exist at the lower levels. Even if, at the connection level where all Consciousness is One, there is only Truth, we are not at that level and so can only see what is true for us.

And those truths seem to vary according to a variety of factors. Our experience seems to alter what we can see, as does our level of awareness. Pre-defined beliefs also appear to affect what we think of as reality. So in any random selection of (say) 100 people, the chances seem good that there will be at least 100 truths.

And saying there is an over-arching Truth begs the question of who it is who defines or holds that truth. Given the distinctly imaginary feel to our Reality, we cannot use the ability to find corroborating evidence within the plenum as a criteria for Truth - it might just be programmed in that way. We can’t use personal feeling for a general truth - too many have done that and killed thousands or millions. And we can’t use agreed upon values as truth - there seems no universal law that says 12 men agreeing have to be righter than one man deciding. (the democracy myth)

So I don’t know if Truth is important for us to know. But I think that, like happiness, it is very important for us to seek it.

My thoughts on this are a bit complex to put down, but I’ll try.

Truth is not, I think, black and white. Everything around us shows complexities and subtleties way more complex than the Aristotelian good/bad dichotomy. Human relationships have always failed and been manipulated when we fail to recognise the shades of grey between black and white. That’s why, when power mongers decide on war, they start to polarise their subjects, using propaganda and an emphasis on the negative side of those with whom they wish to go to war. If they can demonise the enemy and bring goodness in on their own side, it makes it MUCH easier to convince the people that going off to kill those folk over there is a good thing.

Groups are also not necessarily a good thing - they usually require people to compromise their truth to fit in with the commonly agreed truth of the group. So when the group comes to a point where the particular individual would normally stop and say, ‘this is not my way’ they are under pressure to go along. This group behaviour is considered a good thing, but I would imagine the soldiers at Nuremburg wished they had reconsidered their obedience to the group rule.

Truth in a plain 3D world may be as you see it, but is it true we are in a plain 3D world? The math and physics of cosmology would suggest there are more dimensions than 3. String theory needs 11 and some versions talk of 26. Black holes require, according to Stephen Hawking, other universes to exist for the theory to work. Quantum theory seems to say that if Consciousness were not present, there would be no Universe, that Awareness collapses the probability matrix into a Reality in which we then exist.

And more strangely still, the evidence is building that our Reality isn’t really here at all.

Another issue is the amount of astronomy encoded into story, myth and scripture. When you first learn of it, it can be easy to think, coincidence, but after a while, when you’ve seen it over and over, it becomes exceedingly difficult not to accept it all as being planned into the texts. Precessional numbers and stories are also there in an amazing amount. Somebody encoded that stuff, and to do it they had to have a level of knowledge at least equal to ours.

If they could vanish, if their works could be wiped from all knowledge across the vast span of time, then surely we owe it to them to work at the remnants they left, to honour the amazing amount of effort they put into ensuring their far off descendants would have at least some warning of what may be coming our way.

Whether or not that is to do with 2012AD, I don’t know, but if Ice Ages come approximately every 100,000 years, if we are exactly halfway through a Precessional cycle right now (Orion is approaching its highest point of meridian crossing now) and if we suddenly have a Sun doing inexplicable things while it also seems the solar system itself is undergoing some strange effects, then perhaps it is past time we stopped effing around and started paying attention. We could profitably leave behind the misconception that we are the highest ever achieving society and look to the past so we are not doomed to repeat it.

If we can forget our indoctrination, leave aside those who muddy the waters using a variety of techniques, and just look with open eyes at the world we see around us, it becomes apparent there is something off about our orthodox history. There are too many things for which we have no reasonable explanations, but worse, it becomes apparent that someone is driving the moves to keep such things in the realm of the ridiculous so most people will not believe it.

So, if we don’t take a group of immortals seriously, that leaves a couple of secret groups, running an agenda across the ages, following a plan laid down in a time when, according to the fables we are being taught, high technology was a slightly sharper rock on a stick.

And keep in mind, if Glen Milne’s Inundation maps are correct - and he used stock standard geology and mapping to create them, nothing fancy - then that date is just before the last major deluge/flood event and after a couple of other bigger ones that destroyed something like 25,000,000 square miles of coastal, arable land. Given how much of our society lives near the coast or on coastal plains or within 200 feet altitude of sea level, what would such a catastrophe do to us today?

So it seems feasible that a group was created, or perhaps a then-current one went secretive, who were charged with maintain the knowledge, with keeping civilisation alive, and with continuing a plan designed to come to fruition in latter times. And many of the early civilisations not only have Flood myths and a wise man or men coming from the sea, they also have a group of seven sages who helped them along over extended periods. Such were the Shemsu Hor in Egypt’s pre-pharonic times, or the Seven Rishi of the post Vedic times.

It is possible to look back at history, even the abridged version we know about, and see an ongoing battle for direction between two groups, one which apparently believes in humans growing, becoming more than they were, and the other which believes we need to be controlled, manipulated and kept under tight rule.

Add to all of that, the Essenes - the 3rd major religious group from before and shortly after the time of the Christ. For some strange reason they don’t get much of a run in the bible yet the major players seem to have been Essenes. The Dead Sea scrolls, a far more authoritative source than the second hand copies of copies of long lost texts from which we derive our modern bible, tell a different story of those times. The Essenes appear to have been a rather hidden group of manipulators and it isn’t hard to see them playing out some long-running scheme as they prepared the maids for the role of mother of the Messiah.

With the symbology talked about in Zeitgeist and other sources, along with the real histories we are finding in archaeology as well as the Dead Sea scrolls and those of the Nag Hammadi discoveries, the books found that show a different story of Judas and Mary, among others, the Pauline manipulations that supplanted the message of the Christ to substitute overlords between a soul and its’ salvation, it isn’t hard at all to take the next step in understanding.

What becomes apparent is a long running manipulation of societies, running back to at least Egyptian times and probably further. Given the nature of the manipulations, it also seems apparent there have been at least two sides running campaigns, and those strategies have been playing out across many centuries.

Look at things like the layout of the sacred sites around the world. The pyramids copy Orion’s Belt, there are those who can show the pyramids of Egypt can be linked into patterns found in the Duat, the Egypt ‘heaven,’ a very specific area of the night sky. The Anasazi ruins can also be shown to map to star pattern, as can the Mexican and South American ruins and monuments. The most recent is probably Ankhor Wat, built between about 800AD and 1000AD, laid out similar to Draco.

The strange thing is, several of these patterns are not as the skies were at the time they were built, but as they were when Orion was at its lowest point of crossing the meridian - circa 10,500BC

Another one to read is Ralph Ellis. Ellis has looked into the history of the Hebrews, of Jesus and the origin of the Judaic religions. What he finds is fascinating. Check out Ralph Ellis’ website

Egypt has no records of having a large number of slaves, nor yet of losing a number of them in at least the hundreds of thousands, so one has to wonder why the biblical story of Moses and the Hebrews escaping the Pharaoh has so little historic documentation. A slave race able to conjure up all those plagues by calling on their God would, you would think, have a profound effect on the slave owners. It doesn’t get a mention.

Another thing not found is any mention of a Pharaoh and a large part of the army going missing. Nor is there any signs of a large number of people wandering around in the desert on the other side of the Red Sea for 40 years. You’d think the water, food scraps and piles of shit would have dessicated and remained to show [i]some[/i] sign of their passing.

And there’s more - Abraham is supposed to be a simple hill shepherd patriarch, yet somehow he musters an army when it is needed. The Ark the Hebrews had, the design of the temples, the One God emphasis, even many of their rules and traditions, all have roots in Egypt - rather strange when you consider they are supposed to have kept their culture even while slaves. Look at the Jewish faithful today - still hold true to their traditions even after centuries in other places.

The Old Testaments smells strongly of a borrowed history, complete with change of names to show a glorious past for a group who had once held the prime responsibility for the Necropolis, kicked out when the Priests of the pan-theistic Egypt reasserted their dominance over the upstart One-God crew.

Interestingly Jesus gets tied into the Pharonic lineage, and there are other stories of his travel to India and Tibet, along with tales of whom he might claim as family.

There have been a number of people looking back into our past. There seems, almost as a prelude to the 2012 symphony, to have been a chorus of enlightening discoveries and re-thinking about just how our history has been manipulated or misrepresented.

It has been realized for a long time that the winners write the history, but perhaps only recently has there been the freedom for people to go find out just what might have been covered over in those ‘revisionist’ stories. And the possibilities are mind-boggling.

For me, the first serious look I had at how I might not have a correct idea of the past came from Robert Bauval – his book The Orion Mystery, took me into strange waters. I’d always known the Great Pyramid was an incredible achievement, but Bauval showed me it could be far more than I’d dreamed.
As if a dam had burst, from there the discoveries came at rapid pace. I’d always been a it contemptuous of Erich von Daniken – his tales of aliens in our past seemed interesting but his logic turned me off – he would propose a possibility in one chapter, show some equivocal evidence, then use that proposal as if it were fact in the next chapter. At least that was how it seemed to me, being firmly in the ‘if I can’t touch it, it ain’t real’ camp at the time

The internet was starting to fire up as a real innovation around that time and I found sites dedicated to such things that were a little more carefully balanced. I also read Thoth, Architect of the Universe, by Graham Hancock and it sealed me on a path for which I have yet to see an end point.

There are darker possibilities - I wonder sometimes if it’s the magicians trick - look over there, watch that hand, ooh, voila, I have produced something from where you didn’t see it coming.

I’ve been thinking over how to help those who want us to stop focussing on the negative side of what might be coming and begin to make our minds and views more positive - I think maybe the reason the hidden players are so cautious might be to do with numbers. If significant numbers of people start to focus on an outcome, given the quantum world, maybe that outcome is more likely.

If a small number of hidden people want a particular outcome, what they have to do is either prevent the masses from dream-fulfilling the things the hidden ones don’t want or get the masses to focus on the scenario wanted by the hidden ones. Maybe that’s the reason for the media push into fear, for how only the bad news is reported and the steady increase in hype words used to report things.
eg. the swine flu thing has died in the headlines as people realised it wasn’t as bad as a cold, so they hype it again by announcing that, instead of 28,000 people having it in the US, it’s a million. You have to read down into the article to find out it’s a computer model showing how many would have it IF there are huge numbers of unreported cases - and they say there are because lots of people have had flu-like symptoms so that must be swine flu.

All of it is BS, none of it reported openly or truthfully but all of it reported so, for the large percentage of people who glance at the headlines and turn to the sports, what they see is how bad swine flu is getting.

It creates a fear and helps formulate a view of the world that helps the dark side along. If, for example, there’s a surge in power available for consciousness to change the world in 2012, and (say) 75% of the people are in fear of…whatever, what is the chance that what we all manifest is a world where our fear is justified? Particularly if the other 25% are disordered, equivocal or even in disagreement as to just which positive outcome they want?

Whatever the origin, it seems in recent times there are more and more people starting to look at 2012 as some kind of special date. If the message of The Secret is true, it is quite possible we are all going to make it a special date, simply by focusing on it so much.

Some people are looking around the world and seeing the end of the world, not because of conditions matching prophecy of their personal beliefs, but because it seems so many facets of our world are riding the knife edge of disaster.

We have too many people. We have known this for some time but nobody (except the Chinese and the Swiss) is doing anything about it. We have almost seven billion people, breathing, eating, shitting and altering our environment, day by day.

We have a culture that allows 5% - 10% of the population to consume 85% of the resources, and worse, to consume them on a throwaway basis.

We have almost all our industries using and dumping poisons back, almost pure, into the environment where we have to grow our food. Our governments are putting other poisons in the water, purportedly to stop our teeth rotting (a vital concern obviously) and to overcome the fact that our fresh water is becoming toxic to us.

We run an economic system that allows people who produce nothing to drive up the prices of our goods and services to make themselves rich while those at either end of the chain remain constantly broke. We have allowed corporations and banks to determine the conditions in which they will operate, and naively expect them to do things that are good for us all, instead of just good for them.

And we have governments made up of people who will do anything, literally, to get into power – it’s like hiring pedophiles to mind our children. The one group of people who should never be given power are those who so desperately desire it.

So perhaps those who are looking to 2012 are simply seeing that soon, any one of these factors will pass a tipping point, a place where the system can no longer tolerate the condition and it breaks.

So what is coming in 2012AD? Should we be scared, will the Earth end or the forces of good and evil engage in the Armageddon of the biblical stories? Or will it be a time of resurrection of Jesus, a growth in cosmic harmony, or an energetic increase allowing greater awareness to all mankind?

There’s been any number of prophecies of doom or end of the world over the years. The Christians have apparently been awaiting it, and predicting every hiccup in society as being the harbinger of the Christ’s return, for most of 2000 years. Almost every culture has some story of how the world will end, or when, from the Tibetans nine billion names of God to the Hopi returning through a siapu into their next world.

But from the Mayans, all we have is the calendar. To be sure we think we know considerably more of them now than we did fifty years ago, but still all that we have is a date back around 3113BCE plus the 5125 years of a baktun, which brings us to 2012AD. At that point, the calendar ends. At that point, the Age ends.

Almost eerily, but nowhere near as exactly, it is also the time of the changing of the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. It is also close to half the Great year of the Egyptians, when the constellation of Orion reaches the highest point of culmination (where it crosses the North-South meridian) in its Precessional trek up and down the sky.

So we are left wondering about what is coming. Some people are talking a vast surge of fourth dimensional energy to transform the world. According to them some will be ready and will move to the next phase of existence – I’ve never been quite able to work out what these prognosticators think is going to happen to those unable to make the transition. Strangely, all those making this kind of prediction are on the transformative side of the line that determines who goes.

Others see it as a time when Aliens will make themselves known, transforming the world and altering forever our view of ourselves. Still others see it as a crux, a time when the final (?) battle between Good and Evil will rage, fulfilling the biblical prophecies of war and salvation as the Christ comes back to save the faithful.

There seems a growing interest in the year 2012AD, a swell of public concern and interest over what is, after all, a rather obscure relic from the past, the Mayan Long Count calendar. So what is it all about? Why could this be a different date than any other doomsday date?

Well, first, it isn’t a doomsday date. Those implications seem to come from a variety of sources, from people who in ignorance hear the words ‘End of the Age’ and see it as ‘End of the World’ to those who wish to emulate the mainstream media and use hyperbole to attract attention for their book, survival gear or religious dogma.

December 21, 2012 is the date of the Winter Solstice (in the northern hemisphere – summer if you’re south of the equator) when the night of 21st is the shortest night for the north. It’s a date that echoes across religious lines – any number of messiahs and deities have birth dates on 25th of December, three days after the Sun gets impaled on the Southern Cross and the day on which it begins its ‘rebirth’ as it slowly makes its daily path further north each day.

The Mayan calendar is shrouded in considerable mystery. The Spanish Catholics made determined efforts to wipe out all they could find of the Mayan people and their way of life. Every writing they could find was supposedly destroyed, or perhaps, given the voracious maw of the Vatican, transported back there to be stored in their crypts and archives.

By accident, several Mayan manuscripts were missed – they’d been shipped to Germany and France, and for a long time they lay forgotten. Those codices and the carvings on monuments and stone in the Yucatan, have been the subject of considerable debate over the years.

So when someone tells you with certainty, all about the Mayans, be careful what you accept as truth – the chances are they are telling you their prejudices, because we simply don’t know much.

Unconscious - this might be a definition problem. I think the concept of unconscious quite often is used as another way to say subconscious. What is described isn’t a thing of not-knowingness, but rather one of not-awareness.

I’ve posted here about spotlight and floodlight awareness - what is described as unconscious could easily be from the floodlight awareness - the ’spotlight’ Being doesn’t see it and isn’t aware of it but the ‘floodlight’ Being is active and working on the problem until s/he can present it to the spotlight being.

I’ve used this process for a lot of my life. When something comes for which I don’t have (but do need) an answer, I consciously work through it as far as I can. Then once I am satisfied I have thought of all the possibilities, worked out responses to all them, (and still don’t have a best solution) I consign the problem to the ‘back of my brain’ so to speak. I consciously determine to not think of it anymore and to rely on my background processing to find an answer - it usually does. Some time later, while doing something else entirely, I will suddenly have the answer pop out.

But this isn’t ‘unconscious’ but rather a subconscious process - while it isn’t at the focus of my attention, I am still spending mental resources on it - at times, when the problem has been particularly needful, I can almost feel the system whirring in the background as I go about my day.

For me, Un-Conscious would be more along the lines of (say) the reason I came to this life, or perhaps the bias I have towards certain modes of expressing my ethical nature. It is arguable that we pick these things up from childhood, but I am one who deliberately rejected my early life, who found I had to consciously decide my standards and morals by trial and error. And along the way I found there was a basic, a standard which determined which I would accept and which I would not - and I can’t see how it could come from my parents.

I’ve been trying to define how I see the universe, to get some understanding of how all the things I’ve talked about on Spirituality Guide come together. So here are some of my thoughts…

All matter and manifestation in our reality has a common source. That source can show up as matter, as energy or as motive (force) and the ‘As Above, So Below’ rule would imply that we can look around us and see analogies for things that are more basic than this reality in which we live.

Some people see parallels between the levels of human consciousness as described in the works they are studying and the levels of organisation out in the Universe. I don’t think they are saying, for example, that a Star actually IS (say) an Ascended Master, but sometimes it reads as if that is what they are trying to say. They might also be saying that (for example) an Archangel is a galaxy, but again I am unsure.

Where I query this is the ideas as presented in such views, if not actual analogy, would suggest that there is a confusion between Source and Creation - they seem, in my view, to be saying the Source (the Archangel) [i]IS[/i] the Galaxy (or whatever is the equivalent level) To me, the Consciousness might be represented here as a form, but it isn’t actually the form. ie. we are represented by bodies, but we aren’t actually just the body.

So I guess what I am saying is, in my view there is nothing specific against the idea that stars (or larger accumulations of mass and energy) might have consciousness attached, but I think they’d be more like our bodies and us. I think I have found out enough to have come to a conclusion that we are more than just a physical mechanism, that the definition of human has to start at consciousness and would include the body as a vehicle. The car analogy works for me – the car is the body but what matters and what controls it is the driver inside.
