When encountering judgment, be but a mirror.

–

Transmute judgment into Love.

–

Your divisive generalizations – Whom are you speaking to? Whom are you speaking of?

–

Is your divisiveness really virtue?

–

It is insanity to think that we can heal division with more division.

–

The only way to heal division is Unity.

Love.

Unity. Not Separateness.

Perspective.

Ascension.

–

What are we trying to Achieve?

–

Those who know, know.

–

No need for superfluity.

–

Understanding, not an explanation.

–

Not an explanation, but an understanding. Not an understanding, but a Knowing.

–

Death puts the body to rest.

A New Conception. Living Beyond our Life’s Horizon. A Cosmic Species. Liberated.

Shame.

A hiding from the world.

A hiding from our selves.

Do you want to spend your life in hiding?

Put down your false pride. Look out to the infinite beyond your life’s horizon.

Humble yourself and there is no need to hide. Who are you to hide?

Humble the world and there is no need to hide. What is the world to hide from?

And so humbled, Rise.

—

Guilt.

A condemning of our selves.

A condemning of the world.

Do you want to walk your life with the weight of self-condemnation? Behind the bars of self-condemnation?

As if your entire life, your entire being, is a violation?

Do not let others impose their own guilt upon you.

Live by your own code, and take action.

Act as is needful to feel at peace with yourself.

And having done so, be Free.

Astrology? It is but another crutch. Another team to join. Because we will not, or cannot, but ultimately do not face the world on our own.

–

Look out beyond your life’s horizon and see the true nature.

–

Guilt, fear, and shame – three of life’s worst states.

–

When you judge others, you judge yourself. When you condemn others, you condemn yourself.

–

God is in everything.

–

Live by your own code.

–

Let no one make you feel guilt, fear, nor shame. Face yourself, and be free.

–

The vastness of the Universe illuminates the Truth.

–

Fear not of Death.

–

With God, there is no guilt.

–

Guilt has its uses.

–

Do not be guilty. Act. Remedy. Clarify. Pacify.

–

Do not let others impose their own guilt upon you.

–

Shame comes from Pride.

–

Let go of who you think you are.

–

Keep your Power.

There are some questions that will just never be answered. These are our most fundamental questions.

Does God exist? Is there an afterlife? Is there a soul? Or am I only a material body? Is this a material universe? Is there fate? Or such thing as free will?

If I hold an answer to any of these questions, it is necessarily a belief. I will never truly know the answers to any of these questions for certain – I must make a choice to believe them.

That in itself is a profound realization.

And in that realization, I choose not to believe.

Instead, I choose to remain open to every possibility. Why delude myself?

In place of belief, I choose to approach. I choose to openly approach reality in the way that enables me to thrive while I live. I cannot know whether or not there will be an afterlife, and so I live as if my Death will be a finality – I live fully without holding back. I live by my own nature and in a way that I can be at peace with this finality – not by anyone else’s way or code. I cannot know whether or not free will exists, so I take complete and total responsibility for my actions and choices in order to feel and be powerful – as if I am solely in control of my destiny. I cannot know if there is fate, but I approach life as if there is so I can face any trials head on and with resolve. I cannot know if there is a God, so I choose to see God in everything so that I am a being full of Love and Awe and Reverence – to make my everyday life as beautiful as it can be.

This is a fundamental aspect of my philosophy.

As I move through life and listen to public discourse I must admit that I am almost overwhelmed by the non-thinking ideological polarity that now dominates.  This ideological polarity is characterized by shallow antagonistic binary viewpoints limited to the constraints of a set narrative.

Individuals are not using their faculties of critical analysis and of reflection.  We are forgoing our individuality for the crowd, for ideologies – and for shallow ones at that.  We are consciously or unconsciously choosing to identify with groups.  These groups can arise around physical, social, political, etc. characteristics or around certain narratives themselves.  We live by the group’s propaganda; its good and its bad, its heroes and its villains, and also the more subtle (and perhaps sinister) aspects of its conditioned worldview. I think this is disappointing.

Why? Firstly, because when we do this we are denying our Selves.  We are betraying our ability to think and to feel for ourselves. We allow someone else to do our thinking for us.  We trade in our ability to reflect and to reason for the comfort or the habit or the ease of the group. 

Each individual has a unique understanding and being that they can unravel and develop and shine.  By denying this and ascribing to an ideology, we really are forgoing and denying the potentialities for our own intellectual growth and inner genius.

“Sapere aude!” 

We also deny others.  We no longer identify as neighbours or as humans, but as members of groups.  People are not treated as people first.  They are denied their humanity.  We get plain hateful, even violent.  Are You so perfect so as to judge others? To spread hate? But even worse, we pass judgment and spread hate not based on our logic or our understanding or our being which we deny, we do so in betrayal of these sacred things. We do so merely as a member of a group, of the crowd.

We all have to answer for our choices. We all have to stand before ourselves, or before our conscience, or before our personal manifestation of the eternal.  We can keep busy and try to repress this internal reckoning but it is inevitable.  Repressing it only causes anxiety and neurosis and unhappiness: a duality, essentially.

Will you excuse yourself of your judgment and hate because you acted as a member of the crowd?  Because the group you found yourself in ascribed to a certain view?  You do not stand as the crowd when you stand before yourself.  We must remember this as we move through our lives.

We must honour ourselves.  We must honour our ability to think and to feel.  We must be true to ourselves and feel at one with our actions.  We must do so because in the end, we answer for no one but ourselves.

Lastly, we also deny possibility. We swallow the dominant opposing narratives created by the powerful at face value and eschew the possibility of alternatives. We take one position or the opposing position, close our minds off to our own or any critical analysis, and vehemently vilify the opposing position.

Humans are extraordinary beings. We can create infinite numbers of alternatives to any issue; alternatives that are nuanced, open to change and improvement, do not pit us against each other, and that raise our collective consciousness.

Let us all take on this responsibility to let our inner genius grow and shine, to let us be happy and at peace with our choices without need of repression, and to bring a little more humanity, love, and respect back into our discourse.  As humans, our similarities far outweigh our differences. Let us break off the shackles of groups and ideologies, use our faculties for critical thinking, and create a better alternative, together.

I will die and so I must live in such a way that I can face Death. That I can smile at Death.

What does this mean? It means that when I face Death – I think not of all the things I could have done or who I could have been. I can face Death because I know that my life has been an utmost expression of my essence. I can face Death because I know it comes for us all.

My choices and my actions create such a life.

This life is different for each of us – we are all unique. As such, we all must make our own choices.

So how can I judge your choices? You must make yours and I must make mine. As I honor my own choices, I honor yours. As I live with mine, you will live with yours.

Your choices also provide me with clarity. They make me reflect. They make me think about what I want to do and who I want to be. But I must stay vigilant; my personal inner clarity can become external judgment and agitation. My convictions can make me forget that, once again, we all must die our own death and that we all must make our own choices.

Does that mean that I should not question your choices or reflect on them? No, but it does mean that I should not disturb my peace over them. I should not allow your choices to disturb my ability to be my fullest expression.

Everyone has to make their choices – and live with them.

You will one day Die.

So while you are here – Live!

Live in such a way that you can face Death.  Live in such a way that you can smile at Death.

Are you afraid?  Why are you afraid?

Face your fears!  Face yourself!  And conquer!

The Earth is a planet hurdling through space at almost two thousand kilometers per hour.  It revolves around a giant sphere of plasma in space that we call the Sun.

It has done so for four and a half billion years.

Think about that.

What is your entire existence in relation to that?  This existence that you cling to.

How many species have walked this Earth in that time?  How many cataclysmic events?  Brutal meteor impacts and volcanic eruptions.

This moment in time we are living in is so fleeting.  You cling so intensely to an instant as if the instant is all there ever was.

You cling to a socially constructed house of cards.

With but a soft wind, it can all end.  With but a soft wind, your Life can all end.

It has always been so.

Live accordingly.

 

 

 

One week is all it takes.

To completely accept a new paradigm.

To completely change your way of life.

Where did this paradigm come from and how did you come by it?

Think about it.

 

Is it your own?

Did it come from you?

Or did it come from somewhere else?  Someone else?

Did the sharpness of your Mind cut through it to your own truth?

Did it hold up under scrutiny by the light of the flame of your Soul?

 

And what about before all this?

Sapere aude!
