The Shadow Cast is not what Cast It

Reflections in a Petri Dish — Nov 20, 2014
Dog Poet Transmitting…….
May your noses always be cold and wet.
Watching something called “The Queen of Versailles”; unintentionally funny here and there and tragically sad elsewhere. It gives you a real insight into how people with an exclusive material focus get the way they do. For someone like myself, you cringe at the sight of it and the kind of children they produce are nightmarish in their lack of vision, personal drive, human potential and the habit patterns that being rich engenders. If you add in a complete lack of taste; along the lines of wanting to build something as kitschy as an homage to Versailles and it come with a fashion perspective that includes faux (or real) animal furs… it’s what it is. You certainly learn something about banks and mortgage companies. They got to go, with prejudice, regardless of the fact that most of their clients are as fatuous as the bankers are greedy. All the caricatures you see about bankers are understated because there really isn’t a way to show the degree of spiritual depravity they have manifested in themselves.
These are truly uncertain times and there is no escaping your being aware of it, since you live in it and have costs like rent or mortgage, maintaining a car, food, clothing and whatever comes with your particular lifestyle. Like you, I am aware of the pressure; real or imagined (out of an undisciplined subconscious). I sit at the gateway to my mind and I observe the thoughts of, “How will I maintain myself once I get where I am going?” “Will the authorities take exception to my complete lack of respect for them and my knowing what corrupt clowns they are, or will my act be polished enough (grin)?” I don’t have to list all of the mental post it notes that come and go. You all have some version of this, unless you are exceptional.
Where I depart from many is that I put a boot in the ass of these thoughts when they show up. They don’t belong to me. They are generated through an atavistic channel and are part of the day to day operations of dark entities that feed off of insecurity, fear and all the attendant tasty little morsels. Yes… this is their food and when you feed them they get larger and larger, until they are larger than you; or appear to be. It is a definite example of an illusionary shadow cast by a much smaller object so as to appear to be more than it is. Whatever the seeming size, it would be irrelevant because actually it is not real. Relatively speaking, everything in your life is as real as you have made it and impacts accordingly.
When negative thought projections for the future come into my mind, I send them on their way and quite often will introduce positive replacements where they had just been, reminding myself that even in my most desperate hours I was taken care of and even when I was thrown into the shit, I came back out of it. Those times will not repeat because the person they happened to is no longer resident. The person remaining also has all kinds of skills developed over time that are negotiable in the bazaar (bizarre) of cosmic interplay. Certainly there is as much potential for the positive as the negative. In what direction do you shine the light of your attention? Meditation is a positive enterprise. Negative meditation exists as well. One form of it is worry. There are all kinds of negative meditation and people do it every day without realizing that that is what it is; negative meditation.
It is a natural extension of being an inhabitant of this time zone to be subjected to negative think. Not only is insecurity, on every level, something that the material world creates, as surely as it creates all of the items the insecurity relates to BUT… there is an enormous amount of thoughts of this nature that travel on slipstreams; that travel on currents in the air (overseen by The Prince of the Air) just like the winds and ocean currents that move upon the surface of this world. These thoughts are generated by the millions who live in desperation upon the cusp of madness. These thoughts are like fish that swim in the waters and birds that fly on the air. They are as real as anything else is; thoughts are things. Thoughts are the composition of ideas. Emotions are the blueprints and schematic of shaped manifestation. As these precipitate downward they enter ‘the formative region’ where the process of becoming physical takes place and finally it appears on the showroom floor, which can be the sidewalk, an empty lot, a maternity ward, a Wal-Mart shelf, a car accident, an argument, an inheritance and so on and so forth. If you are affected by the end result, you were a part of the genesis of its creation.
Now, ‘Argos’ is playing, courtesy of CIA tools in the entertainment business. I had been boycotting this along with “Zero Dark Thirty” and other dream shit serenades but… I’ll watch this because of knowing what it is, I can see the sophistry and propaganda as it is presented. Knowing something different than what is being shown, in respect of what is being shown, reinforces ones awareness of the lie.
If some insecurity brings itself to your attention, send it back where it came from. Does it belong to you? Responsibilities are not insecurities. Intuition is not outuition. You handle what you encounter and profit from whatever guides you. In some cases that is nothing more than experience and often experience is automatic. Your system has learned what works from past experience and repeats the formula. If I tell you that 2+2 is 4 you concur, unless you are one of those pretentious and argumentative assholes who can find exceptionalism through manipulating the laws of physics, such as adding together two chemicals of a certain volume where the combination results in less than the sum of the two parts. Yeah… this is a fact but generally and for our purposes, 2+2 is 4. Now… if you do not accept in your thinking and support in your feeling what you cannot verify on a sensory level, for some, 2+2 is no longer 4. It becomes a maybe, maybe not …because you are ‘maybe, maybe not’ Don’t be that way. Be sure, just about anything can be proven out if… it is true to begin with AND… you have the right mental tools and acumen. Socrates once proved complicated mathematical truth through an illiterate 16 year old boy just by asking the right questions.
You look at laws of Nature and you go, “Yeah. I see that proven every day.” You look at metaphysical laws of Nature and you hesitate, even though they prove out every time as well. The only difference between the physical and the metaphysical is that the metaphysical moves beyond the bandwidth of the senses. You can’t see around a corner but… then again, in many respects you can, certainly math sees around corners AND… if you have been around that corner before, even if it was made possible by your occupying a mental state beyond what you normally possess, what you saw is still there, even if you can’t see it.
Are you here for a reason? I am. I have had it proven over and over to me and it keeps on keeping on. This means I am maintained by that reason or cause; FOR THE DURATION OF MY USEFULNESS. As Lao Tzu said;
“Be utterly humble
And you shall hold to the foundation of peace.
Be at one with all these living things which, having arisen and flourished,
Return to the quiet whence they came,
Like a healthy growth of vegetation
Falling back upon the root.
Acceptance of this return to the root has been called ‘quietism,’
Acceptance of quietism has been condemned as ‘fatalism.’
But fatalism is acceptance of destiny
And to accept destiny is to face life with open eyes,
Whereas not to accept destiny is to face death blindfold.
He who is open-eyed is open-minded-
He who is open-minded is open-hearted,
He who is open-hearted is kingly,
He who is kingly is godly,
He who is godly is useful,
He who is useful is infinite,
He who is infinite is immune,
He who is immune is immortal.”
Brand that upon your consciousness. It’s a law just like all the laws you know about except it isn’t in the common parlance but… there is nothing common about it. If you attempt something and you fail at it, this does not necessarily mean that you were not up to the task. There could be all kinds of reasons for it, including it being the wrong day. It could mean you weren’t up to it but you should never narrow your options of perception in that way. We suffer much of what we suffer by looking only at the surface of things. We suffer much of what we suffer by refusing to change our views and ways of doing things, even when experience proves to us that we are in the wrong. We don’t learn from experience and that is why we are here in the first place; for experience or to experience.
I had a couple of dustups with people in recent times and a couple of much more serious encounters earlier in the year. I’m not going to carry any of them with me. Forgiveness is complete. On the other end that may be neither believed nor reciprocated and in some cases, forgiveness on the other side is inapplicable and irrelevant but… forgiveness is NOT acceptance nor does it require you to let the same people back into your orbit. Some might not understand that but you owe no explanation. There is no requirement for you to have to go through the same thing again. What do you do when people have expectations of you that you cannot meet? It means, at the very least, that they don’t know who you are in the first place or they wouldn’t have such expectations. You can forgive people and sincerely wish them well but you DO NOT have to open the door of your life to them over and over; that’s a dysfunction on your part. Codependency is an example of that. Regardless of whatever it is they might be insistent upon, you are not so obligated.
Some people you cannot allow into your life because the very thing that attracts them to you is what they come to resent you for. Some people have done no work on themselves, are lazy and self indulgent, are used to living off of the good will of family or others who they believe are obligated to take them as they are. In some cases they are proud of their ability to use others. They think they are smarter than you are and intend to prove it by attempting to dishonor you. They haven’t earned to right to possess what they covet and they aren’t going to acquire it either. Ergo… they begin to hate you because you live by what you say and they only pretend to. In this day of instant everything, people want instantly what it is not possible to get that way.
People come into your life presenting one face but you will certainly see their real face at some point. I am fully prepared to accept the face they show me as their real face until they show me their other face. I am also (these days) perfectly content to be watchful in the interim. Initially in any relationship, people are more tolerant than they later prove to be. They extend latitude, while not forgetting for one minute whatever offenses there may be on your part that they let slip by at the moment and which YOU WILL PAY FOR LATER ON by hearing about it over and over and over again. Sooner or later, feeling secure in their right to be there and trading on the familiarity, they begin making demands. They want what they want and that is not necessarily what you want. You must have your ‘No’ and you must have your ‘Yes’. When you know what these are, you are in the right place.
You can be what someone else wants you to be but it will cost you and that is different by degree for everyone, or… you can be yourself and let the chips fall where they may. People can be outrageous in their delusions. From where did they get the power to tell you how to be, when… having told them how you are, they decide they don’t like that and attack you for it? This is not only delusional but irrational and impractical as well because behaving in such a matter guarantees they will NEVER gain whatever it was they thought they wanted but… such is human nature when it is in its usual undisciplined form. People are self-centric. You can move among them and you can be around them but never forget what you are dealing with and don’t make promises that you can’t or won’t keep. People that you have never met or spoken to, do not have the right to yell at you because your philosophy doesn’t include them in the fashion they demand it to.
You have an intrinsic right to be yourself. People you let into your life, seek to refashion you to their tastes. Society impacts on you constantly. Evil mechanics are employed for conditioning by those who run both the government and industry. It is understandable that you might be affected by these… But- you are always stronger than what is acting upon you, regardless of becoming convinced otherwise. If you do not, ‘live free or die’, you will surely die. However the road to that guaranteed result is unpleasant to say the least and if you could talk to your real self, that self would wholeheartedly concur. Being yourself is not the same as taking off all your clothes and running through the neighborhood. It doesn’t mean acting impulsively or being in fear that your being yourself will result in conflict with the world. Being yourself is acting naturally, cue Ringo Star. Being yourself has power that not being yourself does not have. You have cosmic authority because you know where the power lies.
You DO NOT have to live a life of quiet desperation. You do not have to be subject to constant bouts of misfortune. You must study how your mind works and the manner in which you feel. You have to understand how things affect you and why they affect you that way. You have to have a light touch and be able to let things go. Let people think what they like because you didn’t satisfy their unsatisfiable cravings for something they can’t even identify and which isn’t even what they want in the first place which is why they are unsatisfiable. You can’t fill a bucket with a hole in the bottom and you can’t transport clean water in a dirty bucket. What does that mean? Heh heh.
End Transmission…….
