Smoking Mirrors – Sept 2, 2022
Dog Poet Transmitting…….
I wanted to mention something today that I have directly experienced. In fact, I experienced it today while having a provolone sandwich. The more deeply you immerse yourself in The Divine, the more fully you enjoy everything you do. I got this provolone at Trader Joe’s and it might just be that good. I’ve not had it before, BUT… I SUSPECT it is more than that because… it… happens… every… single… day… and it very often doesn’t matter what it is I am doing. I am getting incredible enjoyment from it.
Why? Because I am celebrating God in everything I do, so God is celebrating me in everything I do because I am stepping aside at every turn so that I might be led, instead of heading off like I know where I’m going, and I know what I’m doing; neither of which is true.
Lately… especially… I am taking a remarkable joy from pretty much everything, including doing the dishes… going to the bathroom… waking up and getting up… driving into town to do some chores; so what? It’s ALL fantastic! It all makes my heart sing, and I have heard, on good authority, that as one continues in this direction it just gets better, and better, and better.
God is The Supreme Enjoyer. It’s simple… include him in… everything… you… do. By increments, God comes more and more fully to the fore. God becomes the experience and the experiencer, including whatever backdrop environment the experience is happening in. He doesn’t just show up cause you put in a call. First of all… he’s already there. HOWEVER… speaking from my own experience, it can take some time to get to the more immersive parts of it.
It takes attentive focus and determination. Otherwise… the distractions will get you. You have to think of The Path as something like the saga of a Greek hero. It can include- probably does include; Minotaur’s, Scylla, and Charybdis… and some variation of Circe too.
Look… there are a whole lot of characters you are going to meet on the way. You have to get through these encounters, and… you might find them terrifying, BUT… it… is… not… you that needs to handle them. That’s not your department. That’s when The Divine shows up and does what needs doing, if… you… will… permit… it, which is why you need to have God front and center in everything you do.
It is all very much like Tantra, though we don’t have a similarly identified counterpart in The West. The closest there is… is the rapture and ecstasy of the saints. The East is the root. The West is the flowering. I would think that the best thing for any seeker is to be informed about both sides of the process, from root to flowering.
In The West… you only find your parallels in The Western Mystery Tradition… like The Essenes… Gnosticism… Rosicrucianism… The Albigensians and Templars. There are other obscure moments here and there, with the light seeking to peek out through the darkness of religious corruption.
I have found much to like in all of them, but…
Further inquiry into all of these exceptions left me thinking that they still cannot effectively portray The Truth, BUT… WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? We’re dealing with The Incomprehensible Ineffable. None of these exoteric organizations and religions are going to get it right. It is only in The Initiatic Brotherhood where you get an accurate version of what is and what is not, of what did and did not happen… and so on… and so forth.
The fact is that religions are bullies. The big dogs terrorize everyone else. History records no one more evil than social reformers and religious programmers. Look at what The Official Church did… or tried to do to each of these movements.
I pity the intellectuals and scholars who have to keep track of all the nonsense that comes out of pinheads cataloging the universe and its contents. I have seen what it is like when the over-informed congregate with one another over pointless minutiae. They are effectively dead inside.
God is a living and vibrant FORCE. He passes through the prism into the material world where his chief expression is Love, from which emerge his divine qualities.
There are two basic approaches that one can take on the matter of The Divine. One can corner the market on some portion of doctrine, and dogma and then hold forth on the matter OR… one can immerse themselves in devotion to The Indwelling. This last leads to selfless service… anonymity where possible… and the mindset of a servant seeing to his master’s concerns on the terrestrial plane.
On the other hand… with the pundits… experts… pontificators and genuflecting sycophants from The Drained Lizard Lounge. it… is… all… about… self… service. Yes… there are many pathways to the goal, depending on what you’re after. Those pathways are more numerous in the foothills, leading to the real mountain, in the midst of seeming mountains, for which one must possess the proper transliterating eyes to see them with in… the… first… place.
What I have heard from various trusted sources is that the ONLY sure and certain road to victory and realization, in… times… like… these… is Love. It’s because of the time frame we are in and the bewildering… confetti-storm of distractions, present in these Times of Material Darkness.
There is a reason that Pride is considered such a no-no, and that is because Pride embodies a great deal more than your basic dictionary definition. It even gets seekers far along the way with surprising regularity. When you are trusting The Mind… which is the mapping and identifying tech for The Personality, you are NOT going to be able to stay on The Path. ONLY Love can accomplish this. So…
I seek to Love God IN EVERYTHING I DO. There is nothing that I do… or think… or feel that is not directly or indirectly associated with God in a conscious manner. When any of these practices become routine, it is then branded upon The Subconscious and becomes an automatic part of me. Along the way I am on a scavenger hunt; yes… no… no… no… yes. I am separating and combining the elements of existence, as… they… prove… useful… or of no value to me. It’s what alchemists get up to, BUT… I am not so clever nor informed to go that way with it.
So… I seek to celebrate God in everything I do or… not do it. The point is… NO MATTER WHAT WE TELL OURSELVES, God is the motive power behind ALL action… PERIOD. I have to identify myself with this so that God is doing everything, AND… I am not hindering him. I celebrate the act of eating by informing myself that I am adding God’s Qualities to my being, AND also rejecting and replacing those parts of myself that no longer serve in a useful fashion.
When I go to sleep at night, I direct my attention to The Divine, and I petition him to engage with me, as… it… pleases… him to do. I seek to engage him in every… single… act… I am involved in BECAUSE he is the… motive… power… behind… all… action. I can do this with a Certitude of Success because I KNOW that God is Real. Subsequently, a dynamic comes out of this in which God and I are dancing as one, and ALL… I… have… to… do, is… forget myself.
Herein is the critical nexus of all things. Is God in the forefront or… are you? Is God the focus or… are you the focus? Materialism trends toward Vanity and Selfish Love. Is selfish Love even possible? No! It… is… not. It would not then be Love. It would be one of those states of passion that we WRONGLY associate with Love. The whole of The World at this time is involved in a case of mistaken identity, in which The Genuine Article goes missing.
I notice now… that all of the little annoyances that arrive are an opportunity for me to consciously step around them. I am coming to see the source of all irritation, and malaise of every kind, as objects for contemplation. It is impossible for me to say what I really mean here. Let me try another angle; God is IN every experience I have. God is the experience. There is nothing and no one but God anywhere at any time… in my purview, AND…God is Love.
Love is the electromagnetic force that holds Creation together. If you can find Real Love, you will find God too. Many of us pop in and out of this, now and again, and never catch that it is happening; conscious determined attention upon The Presence of God within… WILL cause God to appear.
End Transmission…….
One final day without links. Perhaps I am changing my perspective on what is newsworthy. New links will begin to appear at GAB once I have processed the matter.
Astronomers say that what they can see in the sky is all flying apart, so nothing is holding it together–unless emotionally? in their own minds, maybe? They think gravity holds it together if anything does, in a suggestion that might be wrong, since they see no evidence of that. I’d rather say there was a local explosion, beyond which we cannot see, and the explosion, like everything, is from the tension between all and nothing (tendencies). The “all” side makes increasingly big efforts to get out there from a “nothing” point, but “nothing” gets smaller the bigger the “all” gets (in comparison). It must be very frustrating
“Love” is a big soft fuzzy doll you can put next to your pillow.
“Love” is better than “god” because the masses accept it better.
“Love” is the answer and it requires duality just like the big soap opera of abrahamic religion written by roman lawyers of Khazarian origins….
Let’s sing about love, and we’re sure to have a bullet on the charts.
If what we call life is merely an “ontological precursor” to what life really is at its very source, then what we call “creation” implies a daunting burden on us as to what we become…
We see plants and animals—-and a myriad facets of the biomass of which humans are merely a 0.01% part—-and we gaze into the mirror to glimpse the other end of the living spectrum, thinking we’ve seen it all, when in reality what we see may simply be the ontological equivalent of a hologram.
We see what-is-there, but only the appearance of what-is-there; the appearance being a perfect reflection, but a reflection being perfectly OPPOSITE…
Perhaps real perfection in reflection must include the vertical axis: along with left-becoming-right, top must become bottom.
If this is so, then the brain is more perfect than the “reality” it perceives…
Why? Because the brain receives all images perfectly opposite, along both the vertical and horizontal—-we basically see the outside world as top-becoming-bottom and left-becoming-right, and so on, and then restoring it to its exact reality at the back of the brain (visual cortex).
Any lifeform with two eyes can do this—-think of the complexity of the brains of bugs with an array of eyes…
A monarch butterfly has 12,000 eyes—-and a brain to efficiently process these images into a useful picture of the world—-but presumably not in possession of a mind to see beyond its snapshot at any moment.
The human mind—-perhaps the only lifeform in possession of a “mind”—-may see reality in 4D, instead of the 3D (survivability-compliant mode) of other brained-organisms.
So, if we only need a brain for survival, why is it we have a mind as a laminar overlay to this sufficient tool of competitive specie interplay?
If a brain is preeminently requisite for competitive survival, then—-if a mind is derivative of this process—-we must speculate that survival is still an issue…
But survival against what???
What is the unique threat to us as humans that no other lifeform faces?
This is when lateral-thinking incurs scary non-rectilinear thoughts!
Sure, we can say that animals think and solve problems—-some better than others—-but it seems only humans create problems that aren’t there in avoiding solving the more important problems that are there.
Perhaps only humans have a true mind that can choose between solving physical (flesh-based) problems or metaphysical (spirit-based) problems.
For those who don’t believe in man’s spiritual side/being, then the mind is such that it imagines its host has a spiritual side, thereby unnecessarily (and tragically) complexifying things—-which we do not see in non-human species, and therefore puts humans outside of the otherwise pervasive evolutionary axis!
If this is so, then we can grant all life to be the product of evolution—-EXCEPT humans.
Granted, humans may have been a part of evolution UNTIL a divine entity stepped in and “bumped” (tweaked) man to a whole other level (if not exactly a HIGHER level).
The relevance of the controversy regarding whether or not we ourselves are a part of evolution becomes vanishingly small when considering the conundrum of why we were “tweaked”…
What exactly is it that divine intervention is providing that evolution did-not/cannot/will-not?
What threat looms uniquely against humans that requires that we have a discerning-mind, over and above what evolution may have provided non-humans?
If humans occupy some kind of “sweet spot” between evolution (lions and tigers and bears, oh my) and devolution (angels and demons), then the unique threat to humans is not a pretty prospect…
That which is a threat to the human flesh must certainly pale in comparison to what is a threat to the human spirit, if the human spirit is real, and its reality entails making us more human than our physicality-contribution.
If the threat of being eaten by an apex predator is our baseline for what constitutes a horrific plight, then a threat that goes to the very heart of what constitutes our humanity must be far worse…
Maybe this is what all humans are in tacit agreement with when we all clothe ourselves, unlike animals—-to hide what?
Perhaps to hide what we all know is there but dare not speak?
We hide what does not need to be hidden—-in the evolutionary scheme of things—-so “what-up-wit-dat?”
A rationalization that no other lifeform is capable of; there is no evolutionary utility to it—-unless it is an act of deception to diminish the devolutionary spiritual side of man…
If all began in a benevolent creator, then man will be a direct down-lineage of this creator—-with all angels and demons along the way.
Even Satan began in good, when there were no demons…
If non-human lifeforms are derivative of a physical Nature, then humans may be derivative of a non-physical Nature…
If a creator did not create evil, but evil created itself by denying the truth (Satan asserted that he was not derivative of God, but was exactly equal to Him), then the life we have may constitute the very same choice that we make by clothing ourselves, but not in a consequential way…
Lies and clothing have one thing in common: we cover that which does not need to be covered.
In the scheme of things, a lie is as inconsequential as clothing our nakedness—-but if we want to indulge the fantasy/delusion that some lies need to be covered with murder, then some nakedness can legitimately be covered with self-mutilation in order to eliminate that-which-needs-to-be-clothed.
So, our “spiritual genealogy” of devolution from God to us is driven by bad choices to counter the good natural-choices of Nature’s evolution.
If love drives the spiritual genealogy from God to us—-i.e. the love of choice—-then there is no choice in “evolution” (presuming evolution applies to us in some aspect), which engenders the rather disturbing consideration as to what exactly constitutes a “love of no-choice”…
@LJ,
You might relate well to this explanation:
http://milesmathis.com/gravitycause.pdf
That paper is one of many relating to “the charge field” (aka “the ether”). I just discovered this old one about Canada that I hadn’t read yet:

The bottom line of his work in physics can be summarized as: “Everything is made of light”. Sound familiar?

Les, it appears to me your path is a very good one that will lead you more directly to the ocean to which we are all headed. Of course, it could not be done without Truth and Impersonal Love embedded within your eternal aspect, which is the essence of existence.
Impersonal love or Bhakti (intense love for God) is but one path to God as, of course, there are many, and I find the whole notion of Love especially intriguing and stimulating. All that is real is self-perpetuating, and so is Impersonal Love.. I may dispense true love to another through electromagnetic force or Prana or via the Law of Attraction, and the recipient is bound to benefit from it in one way or another, but the primary beneficiary is always love itself. Thus, we perceive and render love for the sake of love and to perpetuate it.
Under those circumstances, selfish love vanishes, for it has no place where true love and Truth itself operate and reign supreme.
Srimad Bhagavatam 2.10.21
“The universe is by nature dense darkness, and therefore the total creation is called tamas, or darkness. The night is the real feature of the universe, for then one cannot see anything, including oneself.”

Hey Micheal Paulbo- Give your brain a rest and just fall into your heart space. God speed.
Knowthanx–when I was on good terms with the Bible God around 2009 I asked to be shown the whole Universe and it was a lozenge shape spinning and it seemed to be a fast spin, but this is not part of my philosophy. It might be right though. As for light, I have it as coil/vortex and it is for creating a third dimension, hybridising two of the directions. The level below it in the same “column” is a circle. It unites two dimensions. Existence is not a mathematician, it has to enact all the truths and dramas
Michaelpaulbo–these ruminations are okay by me–I have it as a fight between yin and yang all the way through. Your yang is pundit, your yin is the reader, the hybrid is culture. We all hate being yin, which is why readers say “shut up”
VLADIVOSTOK, September 7. /TASS/. The world must not be based on the diktat of one country, which considers itself “God’s representative on Earth,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday speaking at a plenary session of the 2022 Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).
“Russia’s vision of a multipolar order is that of a world that must be more just, a world that shouldn’t be based on the diktat of one country, which imagines itself as God’s representative on Earth, or perhaps even higher, and builds its entire politics on its alleged exclusiveness,” Putin specified.

Could the Russians be reading some of Les’s output?
