Smoking Mirrors – June 30, 2021
Dog Poet Transmitting…….
It’s a simple concept, that the thought is the author of the word and deed. It seems not to have taken root in that many minds when it comes to True Self Interest. The Dark Side is aware of it and that is why they take such pains with long-range programming. Some of us are immune to this, and always will be; those of us on The Golden Mean, or The Middle Path, or resident beyond the extremes. The Mind explains it differently to different personality types. If you are on a certain Ray, everything is going to be colored in some way by that radiant hue, in terms of the attractions and characteristics of the Ray. I’m sure it can get pretty involved, but I won’t. I simply notice it in passing.
There are items and parallels of relative importance, such as The Things of the World. Then there are items of a less transitory nature, and if you identify with them you will be of a less transitory nature. All this life, coming and going here, is like random particles in a wind blown by an invisible bellows. Out they come and up they go and down they go. Nursery rhymes, fables, and fairy tales go into this in allegorical fashion. For some reason, it seems there are those things we can only see indirectly, or only understand by allusion. You can’t look directly at them, like The Sun.
There is a big difference between intellectual and visceral experience, like jnana and vijnana. The latter is a vast improvement over the former. It makes the former Worth Having. A luxurious car is not worth much if you can’t drive it. There is a difference between having knowledge and having the insight that tells how to best employ it, and to ENJOY it.
There is all sorts of static on the subtler airwaves. It, convincingly… looks like a few deranged souls convinced an alliance of the disenfranchised and disenchanted with promises of a better world because they were going to make everything fair for everyone, which it already is. Everybody got to where they got behind their own intentions and appetites in previous times. Everyone was, and is, writing the script for their next appearance, while living through the script they wrote in times before. There are those who will disagree with what I say here because their intentions and aspiration are of a truly noble order and they are going to Save the World, like so many Social Reformers said they would do, and did not do, in times past. A great many people died each time, to serve as evidence of efficacy, which is not the same as Proof of Life.
If you look deeper into the present gender-bending trend, you will see what is really taking place. The Divine Feminine is coming into her rightful place in the cosmos of human understanding. Because, due to Materialism, most of us are of a carnal persuasion, this intensifying presence of The Divine Feminine is causing people to act out at the level of their understanding, which is not all that far above the beasts of the field, and who do things that even beasts won’t do. Sometimes, I think it is only the hands that make them look different. Certainly, many of them act like particular farm animals would who can open refrigerators with their hands.
The Separated Mind is not inherently moral. It can convince itself of anything it wishes to. This is why The Mind is either your best friend or your worst enemy. These things can get said over and over and over, and they do here, BUT… once again, there is a big difference between intellectual and visceral. I liken it to stepping from one world into another. That is how big the difference is. Vijnana is not just another step after Jnana. It is exponential in the progression. It is a whole other world. Knowledge is not much good (and potentially VERY dangerous) unless you know how to use it. That requires Wisdom, which itself implies previous knowledge, correctly interpreted.
It doesn’t matter how many books a person might read. It doesn’t matter how many books a person may have written. Nearly all the time people do not know what they are talking about because all they are doing is cataloging and comparing temporary material things, according to personal taste, that have very little to do with Eternity and the awareness of it, which lies outside the parameters of time, which measures the coming and going of material things. You can’t get it from a book or catch it off of a toilet seat. It has to be transmitted from one to another. Someone has to Ignite you. This puts a little light on in your head, like a reversed miner’s lamp. EVERYTHING seen in this light is greatly different from how it looked in the previous light. This… is why the books and conversations, and whatever other paraphernalia there may be… for all the argument-making constructs of children, playing with toy construction machines, is of no real or lasting value.
I realize that my sentence structure is often imaginative and maybe even wrong, according to the strict constructionists of the forms. Actually… I don’t care. It’s also not possible to put it into words anyway, in the first place, but we can’t stop trying because we are in love and helpless before the force of it.
If you could get it in books then only a certain class of us would benefit. The truth is that simple and even illiterate people can GET IT. Look at Sri Ramakrishna!!! Or Jacob Boehme! Consider Guru Bawa, who they found sitting in a tree in the jungle in what was then, Ceylon. I was around him for a couple of years and words don’t work here either. He was incandescent. He was lit up. He was also about 4’10” and 80 pounds. I watched him in every fashion that the mind would permit, or that I was familiar with. I was in states of extreme subjectivity and objectivity. Nothing changed. He was a true spiritual force, and I was fortunate to have met him. You pretty much had to be there.
Such beings move about through the human currents. We are in an ocean of air, just as the fish are in an an ocean of water. You are familiar with schools of fish in a tank, who all turn and look at you as they work their mouths in that peculiar fashion of theirs. Then, as one body, they start off in another direction. Humans are more like that than they imagine. These beings are LOOKING for those who radiate certain qualities. They are like shepherds, and they are VERY MUCH here, just as are their more visible counterparts, who sway the attention of the masses like the fishes in the tanks.
There are levels to existence, just as there are planes. At each station of awareness, we are radiating that which we are into the environment. Think of it like a school of fishes, or a field of corn, or a herd of cattle… or… a field of flowers. Angels move among the flowers and when they see a particular quality of beauty, they bring it to the attention of Heaven. You HAVE TO attract Heaven’s Attention. It is easy to do. You simply behave as a citizen of Heaven would behave and Heaven will recognize you. Maybe it is not that easy to do. It depends on what it means to you.
I OFTEN say “I don’t know.” here, and it is the truest statement I will EVER make. Then I set off with confidence to rattle on extemporaneously as if I did, in fact, know. This is a riddle and the sort of thing that can only be explained in a Zen Koan, which means not at all most of the time. What it means is that what I say is the best I can come up with, EVEN THOUGH I still don’t know. It is hoped, at my end, that all this verbiage will occasionally serve someone’s spiritual interest.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do I wish to give the impression that I do know because I don’t. There are a few things that I do know, however. So… when I say, “I don’t know” that would be the case at that time. At another time, it might be something that I do know. The POINT is that whatever TINY little fragment of knowledge or wisdom I might possess, is infinitesimal by comparison to The Sun, which itself is a TINY little fragment of knowledge or wisdom, by comparison with The Spiritual Sun that shines through every star. It might even continue from there, as in Ain, Ain Soph, and Ain Soph Aur. There are ever deeper densities of light within light and which are black to our blinded sight.
None of that matters if you have Love. Love is the cosmic passport to anywhere and everywhere, and to anyone and everyone. You either have it or you don’t and you either do it or you don’t do it.
A friend of mine went to a shopping mall yesterday and this friend had one of those moments where you see more deeply into the situation than usual. It was as if people were in a hypnotic state and not conscious of anything outside the area of whatever attractions brought them there. I imagine it was a disturbing vision. I understand it because it looks that way to me all the time. People have this glazed opacity upon their eyes, like those fish in the tanks, and you CANNOT tell them about it. You cannot reach them. You can ONLY love them. Social Reformers think you can tell people and you can reach them and also lead them to their own destruction, which history already shows us is what happens. If you are not a social reformer, but rather a self reformer, you radiate and hope it will precipitate, and it will.
Some of us are deeply asleep. Some of us are in Fat City, or uneasy dreams and some of us are, occasionally, partially awake. It takes different levels of severity to awaken certain people. This is the unfortunate truth about trauma, and life CAN BE traumatic. We are presently looking at a near inevitability of mass trauma occurring in the near future. I had hoped to have a community together by that time. Now… I realize that community is Virtual. We are, Wired, so to speak. We have spiritual Bluetooth (grin). I now know what I did not previously know and that is that communities are best arranged when they are arranged themselves by a divine fiat. Even though I KNOW that Everything is Under Control, I still have to remind myself, because the dreamscape can be intoxicating and intimidating. You can forget that you are watching a movie and begin participating in it.
Ah well… if it is all under control then there is nothing to worry about. Certainly, Worry is not the equal of Preparation. May God light your way through these times!

Not enough links today. Maybe tomorrow.
We have often tried to get away from the visceral because we thought that a lot of hate was from that, and we became a positive political machine instead, but the hate may be “intellectual” and created. Schopenhauer did not think so–he thought the low emotions came first and that it takes discipline to be good, and we assume the Indian guru spent many lives getting wisdom, so this is probably right. Our Christianity put minds in a prison cell when it banned belief in reincarnation. That was an attack on the soul, giving it two limited options instead of a Universe to explore. On Race I had to go backwards, teaching myself a visceral racism I do not have. I still cannot do it in personal life. I will automatically see the eternal in people even if they are not seeing it. My hate can only go as far as being irritated.
This was a very interesting read with a lot of honesty in it!
Quote #1: “If you are not a social reformer, but rather a self reformer, you radiate and hope it will precipitate, and it will.”
This is the key quote in the entire writing that needs clarification.
Can we imagine a wise radiating Guru living in a secluded cave hoping that his radiation will reach the people without him actually making himself dirty with other’s Karma? Well, if he is online to some extent! But they will shut him up if he makes a bleep on the enemy’s radar screen!
Much of our self-improvement happens among others and in society. We are not born in vacuum… we have mothers and fathers or just parents God forbid!! This is where we encounter love, our own and others’ jealousy, arrogance, selfishness, etc… this is where we can practice our good side too. So indeed our interaction with others forms our selves and the gap between self and society disappears. We can argue that maybe for a limited time a wise man may need a period of loneliness to ponder on important things and think deeply on key questions without distraction, or maybe he needs a break every now and then… but then one has to return back to family and society.
Children that have brothers or sister and are not the only child will have to adapt and learn to manage their jealousy much earlier, the fact that their parents also love their brother or sister. Indeed both self-reform and social reform are of the same nature and intertwined, one should not separate the two. We have a saying: “Travel with one for just a few days and you’ll see his/her real personality.”! Indeed we don’t show our true selves until real world problems arise. Now we can try our best to advice our people not act on “fear”, but when the rules of the society is set by Satan and it is governed by evil people, our moral guidance will have nearly zero effect. The first step in any social reform is to take back power, they say power corrupts… they never say that power also purifies. A corrupt man is corrupt with or without power. You can be a cruel tyrant in your own family, that’s as much power you have, in the hereafter they will put you next to the worst tyrants! Your nature is the same just you didn’t have enough power to cause bigger mayhem. God won’t judge you on quantity of evil… your quality matters. But then again if there is a Tyrant at the top, he is there because others have not fought him, that’s why people will be judged by their leaders. They key question here is: Is God going to help us to get back power? Of course… if we rely on self-confidence we would reach no where. The whole point of religion and wisdom if not fake is to empower us and change us from passives to actives, that is why to vote is not our right alone, it is firstly our responsibility, and if our votes won’t matter than our passiveness will count as our vote and we deserve whoever is our leader.
The main problem that humanity faces is language, it is the main barrier causing confusion and misunderstanding, so words have to be clear, we should do our best to form sentences that are impregnable and accurate with little possibility for misinterpretation except by those sick at heart. Evil that holds power can use language from every angle to prove his point of view or disprove the correct point of view. That is why we need “archeology of knowledge” with great etymology and epistemology so that we won;t be fooled.
“reform” means to change form or to give a new form. Despite what definitions are out there, this word is neutral by itself, because one can improve or ruin the form by reforming, so we can have “beneficial reform” and “harmful reform”. In contrast with words like “reorder” which is oriented towards external, reform seem to refer to a more organic and fluid change similar to what is done to clay on a turntable. Compare “kill” with “murder”, both are the same but one has negative value integrated in it; to kill in self-defense for example is good/reasonable/understandable. In case for War and Peace, we have a similar situation, so context defines value, one can make peace in a negative and harmful way while it is also possible to imagine a context in which war is a beneficial thing. So a “social reformer” could very well be in the service of Satan, on purpose or inadvertently because of a satanic language.
There are mental idols that Satan use to his great advantage. Just have a look at the words below and try to recognize Satan’s finger prints all over them, he has done his best to confuse some or make others into idols that no one can even question!
1- Freedom (idol)
“It is great, everybody needs freedom, this is the most important slogan ever throughout history, we need freedom to be able to literally do anything!”, Authority is bad because it takes away freedom.
3- Power (confused)
“Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely! See how bad guys in movies have great power and good guys win against all odds with little power!!” Just say God is corrupt already! >>>The truth is that evil holds power by keeping us weak. <<<
2- Knowledge (idol)
"We should know everything! We have to unlock the secrets of universe!"
Those who seek wisdom have to ditch knowledge! So they "don't know" how else can they oppose the arrogance in knowledge? Specially the scientific empirical knowledge? The question from knowledge is wrong as explained before.
3- Freewill (confused)
"We have mind and heart and they fight sometimes!" …and we should be free to choose between strawberry or banana or 50 other tastes of ice-cream, but when it comes to power we get to choose between two old donkey and elephant, no alternative to even imagine! So we should be free to choose whichever side drags/attracts us more! and also not choose which ever side is painted ugly and repulsive. This is more like "pornocracy" not democracy! Seriously why should vote of wise man has the same weight as the vote of a selfish drug-addict? Why every field must have a professional, but suddenly politics and religion need no professionals? You won't let a baker do a heart surgery on you, or a doctor fix your car… but when it comes to politics or religion no professionals are needed! Then we have a rotten bastard society is formed after generations and then they destroy the role of father in family because no authority should remain and everything should be in the hands of Satanists. Why should there be a fight between freewill and authority?
4- Authority (orphan)
For God sake somebody save this concept… it is being trampled on by everybody. Is it possible for freewill to have a cool conversation with the concept of authority!?
5- Willpower (confused)
As clearly explained before, there is no such a thing as freewill. We only have varying degrees of willpower.
etc…
We need to seriously deal with impurities in language, otherwise Satan WILL creep in at some point and change the essence of our plans and thoughts, we will then work for him willingly or unwillingly!
Oh Visible if only you’d ended with ‘May God light UP your way through these times’, them I could have said… I’ll Ps this actually!
And have no doubt you have served my spiritual interests for many years, and many others also going by comments etc.
So good on yer, many thanks mate and my best of wishes… oh yes…
Ps… ‘And up yours’
@Lewis Jones,
Thumbs up to your worthy and community-minded comment…
Peter
Fantastic! Great preparation for a day filled with challenge.
if you are cornered in life by diferent 3-5 problems
there is no space for free will . you just react waiting
for the results . evil people talking of free will are to
blame blaming other people !
@antiseptic
If you do not build up willpower, and choose the easy path along the way and so make mistakes, it will be on you. Just as when in a highway, if you miss the correct exit… you are forced to go along the wrong way for some time until you get to another exit or U turn, so the decisions that we make or the decisions that we fail to make have lasting effects.
Indeed being cornered is directly the result of weakness. We should first build up willpower and then automatically we will go for power f ourselves and our society.
Freedom is just a shadow concept, created by a bad frame of reference. Every sentence that you can make by the word freedom in it, you can make the same sentence with power instead.
When someone yells “For Freedom!” and rushes towards the enemy… he is doing all that with power and willpower, he is not pushing because his will is free, the chains that bind are still there, he is just powerful enough to break through, even after victory what remains is power not freedom. You may not understand the impact of viewing the world in the color of freedom, but it is very damaging.
In short freedom is given while on knees but power is earned while standing. The Liberal Market Democracy based on “laissez faire”, will do its best to provide people their immediate freedom requirements only. Those are the freedoms a wise man would abstain from anyway to empower himself!
The solid logic behind all of this is extremely clear and easy to understand:
What we like/seek in the material world can be in 3 categories:
1- The things that we like but don’t have. (i.e. latest car)
2- The things that we like and have, but they will be taken away from us. (i.e. getting old)
3- The things that we like and should not touch!
The first two are easy to understand, the third one can be easily understood by Logic of Pleasure with the following principles:
1- Only personal pleasure matters and every individual wants pleasure! : )
2- We should constantly identify, seek and strive for highest pleasures! : )
3- We should sacrifice lower pleasures for higher pleasures “if” they conflict. : (
The third principle ruins it for most people, this is where things get complicated! This is where concept of freedom gets butchered on the altar!
Cash pleasures are smaller and closer and easier to get… but higher pleasures are always further ahead and one can’t get them quickly, they sometimes require years of work with no pay! Both spiritual and material pleasures have different levels… that’s why one of the biggest sins perhaps is: No matter in what level you are. The moment you “stop” because you have become -content- with what you have! Greed is only bad when one wants a lot of the same crap. Anyone not seeking God will become content and stop at some point and fall as a result, when those high up fall, they hit the ground harder! But let us get back to earth…
There was a psychological test that was done with kids:
They told kids that if they don’t touch the tasty chocolate in front of them for 20 minutes or so then they will be given an awesome gift! Most kids failed the test… only those that “looked away” were successful!
When you keep looking at the cash pleasures you naturally forget higher pleasures and naturally remain weak. Now the entire system is keeping people weak, as long as you seek freedom you’ll be enslaved, period. This part of the story you all understand.
@lewis jones
These concepts or beliefs are bad for you health:
1- Freedom
2- Freewill
3- Duality in opposition
4- Reincarnation
5- Karma
6- Knowledge
7- etc…
These concepts or beliefs are good for your health:
1- Power
2- Willpower
3- Duality in Unity
4- God’s continuous ongoing plan
5- Divine tests for individual and society
6- etc…
We have no blind hatred here, if truly some concepts damage you or your society you should get rid of them, correct them or redefine them.
Proving that duality in Yin & Yang is incomplete is actually very easy!
