Reflections in a Petri Dish – July 1, 2021
Dog Poet Transmitting…….
No matter who you THINK you are talking to, you are always talking to God, or his counterpart, depending on what your intentions are; “Sir! What are your intentions?” Whatever you are eating, you are eating God. When you are breathing that is the life-giving breath of God and POTENTIALLY a source of things the general public does not yet possess the imagination for. I know that could be discriminative (I hope it is discriminating). It could be racist, if… for instance, you were a racist. However, EVERYTHING that takes place in your life is between you and God, even the most insignificant seeming events. Most are not aware of this and gain no benefit. Being aware of it changes EVERYTHING.
The level of Stupid is beyond anything I thought it was. A very large body of the public allows itself to be led down the garden path right into the cacti. They let themselves get whipped up into a frenzy of racial hatred for pedestrian gain and ultimately used as pawns in a game they have no say in. Material stardust causes people’s eyes to glitter. They are like children watching a movie. Then the movie ends.
All of this is me. I am the Stupid and the Smart because I contain a microcosm that is a reflection of the macrocosm. If I can just get out of God’s way I can be on my way. How can you decide where to go when you have Eternity to play with? It changes everything. It has a powerful effect on your values as well. It’s like the Hindus say, “I am that.” Om Tat Sat.
Here’s a little something I came across in my travels as the thing I am seeking;
“Om is the sound Brahman, the sphota. It was what projected out of Brahman that the whole universe came from. Om is Brahman.
Tat is ‘That’ – the way to refer to Brahman as there are no words to directly describe Brahman.
Sat is Reality or Existence Absolute.
Om [is] That Reality [Existence Absolute]. Om Tat Sat is [The] Lord Om [is] That Reality [Existence Absolute].
Swami Vivekananda said “Repeating the Om continually is the only true worship. It is not a word, it is God Himself.”
To achieve the state where one communes with God seems to me to be the best of aspirations and includes being in the presence of God, which is the resolution to every concern that you will ever have. Still… people love their concerns. They give meaning to their lives; what they THINK they Love and Hate. People say they want to solve their problems. They want to get beyond this and that. They want to be free, BUT… the truth is that they need their problems. Their problems define them. They would not know who they are without their problems, which means they do not know who they are.
God is a friend to all life, BUT… all life is not a friend to God. When life gets the ability to see itself as apart from everything and everyone else… eventually… finally… one is driven to cease to be apart. Of course, since one is usually dancing with temporary things, one remains apart, or… thinks they are and the Suffering continues, as one mates with all manner of things and gives birth to all kinds of progeny. We live in a world peopled with our own creations and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is a fine analogy of what happens… sooner or later. When you play God and have no idea what God is, you are playing with fire.
I’ve heard it said that when a person dies, they lose all that they learned, and many other things which they must again reacquire when they return. I am not so sure that is true. Whence then come the prodigies we see? Whence come those human anomalies for which there is no explanation? I’m pretty sure you carry various parts of yourself as you come and go, even if they are submerged, because they are magnetic touchstones of your Karma, without which you would not be present anyway, having no amounts of Earth left which are owed.
Perhaps I am wrong and there is something more to be found in the clamor and glamour of the ‘bright lights big cities’ thematic. No… there isn’t. Eventually, it will occur to everyone that The Way Out is what is worth searching for, and The Way Out is The Way In. It is best to be quiet and unobtrusive if one can manage this. Sometimes you are meant to be more public and then you must be thoughtful indeed, lest it all go astray.
Think of all those people out there who WERE in those name positions; Tony Blair, George Bush, that woman from the European Counsel… Donald Rumsfeld; here recently and gone yesterday. Now we have the present Gang of Darkness. We don’t even know the important names. They are out of the public view. Only those who can be thrown under the bus are in the public thoroughfares. They can feel the Heat of the Avatar on the backs of their necks, and like galley slaves, they are rowing with all their might under the lash of the (alleged) Freeman. They have to get it squared away now, or it will soon be over and they will be irrelevant, or worse.
They are kind of rowing against the tide, so it’s a futile effort all around, but they don’t know that. They THINK there’s hope of victory and there is NOT. The battle is already over. We are in the aftermath. What we are watching is cultural meltdown. Heaven is brewing up something out of the mix. It really does depend on where you are standing, what you see, and how you see it. As long as personal perspectives rule the day, there will be inconsistent outcomes. Some will win and some will lose. Some few will win big and the reverse will be true as well. HOWEVER… if you do not have a personal perspective, and The Witness is free to observe without your colorations, amazing experiences are the order of the day. You see magic everywhere when you are not mucking up the perception of it.
I spent years circling around what I had already been made aware of previously, and finding that all my machinations avoided nothing. As soon as I left the whole of it entirely in the hands of God, it was no longer my concern. In the beginning, there is, of course, some trepidation. What does Lao Tzu say?
“Long ago the land was ruled with a wisdom
Too fine, too deep, to be fully understood
And, since it was beyond men’s full understanding,
Only some of it has come down to us, as in these sayings:
‘Alert as a winter-farer on an icy stream,’
‘Wary as a man in ambush,’
‘Considerate as a welcome guest,’
‘Selfless as melting ice,’
‘Green as an uncut tree,
‘Open as a valley,’
And this one also, ‘Roiled as a torrent,
Why roiled as a torrent?
Because when a man is in turmoil how shall he find peace
Save by staying patient till the stream clears?
How can a man’s life keep its course
If he will not let it flow?
Those who flow as life flows know
They need no other force:
They feel no wear, they feel no tear,
They need no mending, no repair.”
There is a wealth of arcane law and hidden teachings in these 81 sutras. Once it impresses itself on you, you can cease being a thing apart. It’s the Separated Mind that accomplishes this AND confers Mortality on you. If you want to live forever you must emulate that which does. You MUST also recognize that the basic tenet… the PRIMARY reality of Life is… ENDLESS CHANGE. As soon as you grab on to something temporary you ground the spirit or at least try to. The tool of The Spirit is The Mind. The tool of the heart is The Soul. If you let the TOOLS operate without this guidance, trouble is coming. It is inevitable, just as an accident is certain when you cannot see where you are going, and persist in continuing.
I realize (as I mentioned recently) that millions of words have been produced on these sites. Lao Tzu said all THAT COULD BE SAID, and he did it with those 81 sutras. I recognize that I have said many things and they are sometimes at cross purposes with other things that were said. I continue to do this because I KNOW that people need encouragement and reinforcement. What seemed so clear the day before can be elusive now. It slips in and out of us (or seems to) like a fish. It never really goes away. BUT… we do. Part of our problem is seeing God as someone, or something, as distant from us as the stars are. This is NOT true. God is INTIMATELY connected to you, as we attempted to explain in the first paragraph of this posting.
My job is to remind myself of The Presence of God. As a result, my job is also to remind others. Whether others have any interest in this is not my concern. Some there are who have GREAT INTEREST in this and it is for them that I write. I would do this if no one were reading and when I began, that was the case. I realize that there is a small contingent of readers who actively dislike what we discuss here. I seldom hear from them but I know they are out there. The World is a lot bigger than any of us think it is, and there is EVERY kind of delight and distraction for those in search of them. My job is not to distract but to direct (I’ve always wanted to direct!!! grin). I honestly don’t mind when people go off on me or diminish what I do. I understand very well how they come to be as they are, but that changes nothing. I must talk about God. I must bring the conversation to talk about God, or I will go where I can.
Something happened to me. I could not possibly explain what it is but The World for me is like a diorama with some of the attributes of a kaleidoscope. I watch with The Witness as I am taught the utter insignificance of it all. I am a slow learner so it has taken longer than it should have for me to catch on, but now I would say I hold it in a death grip, as The World once held me. So… in answer to the unasked question, “Why do you do this?” I can only say I am compelled beyond my ability to resist. This is all nothing in the scheme of things. I am nothing in the scheme of things, BUT… what I love is the critical something in everything, in me and in you. I am touched, deeply by this… this inexplicable something, and I must write about it, and sing about it, and dance in the celebration of it, and I can only hope it is contagious.

Please go to the right-hand menu of this blog (of each of the blogs). That would be to the right of you and right near the top is the list of blog followers. Add yourself to that list so that should I have to switch to a newsletter format, or should any disturbance occur in the flow of these postings, there will be no disturbance.
Not much in the way of links. Tomorrow should be better if I trouble to go and look for them (grin);

Salem, Mississippi burning, Coronavirus. It’s all the same. The mob. Most people are irredeemably stupid.

Sweetness of Life……
How did Joanie put it?…..
“I could drink a case of you
And I would still be on my feet….
I would still be on my feet….”
I thought about the audience of writing when there is “none”. It can be machine elves, Satan, God, angels, demons, ETs, dead people and Remote Viewers, so it is already a crowd and I found I did not need to publish. The natural internet is very busy, but we prefer more direct communication, maybe only as an art-form., in which case songs might be the finished product, or perhaps comedy, if ego can be kept out of it (not easy). Our culture shows there is a huge thirst for songs and comedy. When I explored profound literature in my teens and Twenties, Lao Tzu and the I-Ching impressed me the most and I saw in them a remnant of an ancient civilisation that has gone, able to unite the left- and right-brain activity as our culture does not. It was like Robert Monroe times Leibniz. I would still emphasise peaceful sleep as a supremely important thing. At one stage in my life I had to fight like a lion for this, and people want a secluded house for it. It is one of the reasons a big block of flats is not adequate.
These I liked, “I spent years circling around what I already been made aware of” and “I am a slow learner so it has taken longer than it should have for me to catch on”, sure sounds like the story of my life. Then “this inexplicable something, and I must write about it, and sing about it, and dance in the celebration of it, and I can only hope it is contagious.” All reminds me of the congregational chanting
in the temple of the Krishna devotees. The best insanity.

I’ve devoured and savoured every Visible post for nearly two decades. This one is surely in the Top Ten…
