WHEN A CHARACTER AWAKENS

You do what you do because you arrived with certain qualities into a pre-made environment.
You are a character in a story, a performer in a play, an actor in a movie.
All that happens is the story, play, movie. There is nothing outside the story, play, movie.

You are the I am that I am, the primordial essence, the divine, the source, force, the one, the only, the eternal, the all knowing, all powerful, all present (omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent) power of creation, and, what is called a body, is a temporary container, a sheath, a corn husk, a coat, a cover, a costume, a disguise, a character, a performer, an actor (AN EGO) that veils and conceals the I am that I am, the primordial essence, the divine, the source, force, the one, the only, the eternal, the all knowing, all powerful, all present (omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent) power of creation.

An actor does not know all.  However, if an actor becomes silent, the veil, the sheath, the coat thins, and that actor experiences, temporarily, the ALL.  A character, while alive, wants to know if it continues to live and do things after it dies.  It wants to know if it remains the same character with its memories, talents, abilities, likes, dislikes, personality, etc.  A character is a mental construct of the One. The One remembers being that character, just as a character remembers having been a teenager.  In that, and other ways, the character still lives

The One might have said, “portions of me will become a bunch of EGOS, and I will see how long it takes them to become me, the One, and I will do it for my pleasure.”  Another way the One might say it, “I will descend below all things to rise above all things.  I will experience all that is possible to experience, every potential.  I will fall that I might rise (depicted in Christian theology as the fall of man).”

Many characters have said (when experiencing the One) “What the hell just happened?  What was that experience?  For a moment I was conscious of more.  I was bigger.  My awareness increased.  I was vast, full, over filled with energy, was energy itself, was everything and every thing was me, every person, place and thing was me.  I want to know what the hell that experience was.  I wonder if I am going nuts?  What am I, really?”  
The One might say, “If you want to experience more of Me, stop being you, and there I am, meaning, ‘Be still, still your mind and know I AM GOD’” (also from Christian theology, as is the following) “I am the dark and the light, the good and the evil, and I do all things for my pleasure.”

Once a character awakens or realizes or experiences that the I AM is pretending to be that character, that character becomes more empathetic.  That character treats everyone and every thing kindly, as kindly as it can, with regards to the actions of other characters).  That awake character knows every person, place, and thing are characters that don’t realize they are characters.  That character may use the word “divine” to describe all of creation, and it does its best to treat all creation divinely.  In addition, that awake character no longer suffers its ignorance, nor anyone else’s ignorance, but will still experience empathetic bodily emotions and physical pain.  HOWEVER, an awakened character no longer suffers life, but rather, walks through life in “the peace that passes all understanding” (also from Christian theology).

In addition, an awake character no longer fears, no longer is afraid, no longer gets stressed, worried, anxious, or concerned, but instead, flows with whatever appears in front of it, and is filled with gratitude, and overwhelming  appreciation for all of life.

WHAT’S THE TAKE AWAY: THE ONE IS ALL THAT EXISTS.  THE ONE IS EVERY ACTOR.  WHAT YOU CALL YOU, IS GOD PLAYING, PRETENDING, IMAGINING YOU.  WHEN AN ACTOR HAS AN AWAKENING EXPERIENCE, THE ACTOR BRIEFLY BECOMES AWARE THAT IT IS THE ONE IN DISGUISE.  WHEN AN ACTOR DIES, THE DISGUISE DIES.  THE MASK COMES OFF.  THE ONE REMEMBERS EVERY ACTOR, EVERY DISGUISE, EVERY EXPERIENCE, plus, THE ONE continues exploring its potential through its actors.  WHAT YOU CALL YOU IS GOD WEARING A HALLOWEEN COSTUME.  God divided into a lot of individual gods.  Individual gods have will, experiences, and develop qualities.  Individual gods put on Halloween costumes (human bodies).    Human bodies have egos.  Egos get indoctrinated.  Egos have will, intent, purpose, memory.  Egos think they are the Halloween costumes.  Egos learn they will die when their Halloween costume dies.  Egos are noisy, think a lot.  If an ego becomes silent it experiences God.



ASKING AND THINKING
ABOUT LIFE,
LED TO A CONCLUSION,
DON’T ASK.
APPRECIATE IT.




I spent my life asking about life
and that was my life

I spent my life living life

I spent my life living in my head asking about life and missed the parade.

I wanted to know about life, about people, places, things.  I dissected it.  All I found was particles.  When I looked at the particles they disappeared.  All that was left was an empty container.  I looked at the container.  I call it space.  Nothing was happening. Then I realized the container was not empty.  I was in it looking around.  So I asked, “What is this container and what am I?”  There was only silence.  No answer.  I waited.  Slowly it dawned on me.  I am the container.  I am space.  I AM, all that is.  I am the container, the disappearing particles, the particles being people, places, things, and then disappearing.






 

ARE YOU AMUSED YET?

 Little Joe is unhappy.  He has a way his life must go, and won’t let go.  His dad told him to stop crying or he would send him to earth and give something to cry about.  Joe’s mom agreed.  She told Joe that if he didn’t quit complaining she would give him what he wants.  Joe kept complaining.  Joe’s mom said, “OK, I’ll give you what you want right now, but you can’t change your mind. What you want right now will be the way your life will be, forever, no changes.”  Joe thought about it and quit bitching because he smart enough to know if he couldn’t get older he’d never get a driver’s license, couldn’t drink and smoke, and would never know what sex was all about.  

If you are not constantly at peace, you are a slave to your mind.  If you don’t enjoy all that is life, you are a slave to the comforts you enjoy (while fully knowing things in your life change).  If you are unhappy you are a slave to your programming, indoctrination, brainwashing, and the propaganda you swallowed that life has to go your way, while fully knowing life will not always go your way.  So what’s the best way to live life.  The best way to live life is to have no way life must go.  
HOW TO LET GO AND FLOW
When your mind imagines disasters that might happen, instead of worrying, enjoy the picture show and tell your mind to grow-up, quit acting like a two-year old, quit confusing its way of thinking with reality, with what’s actually happening, quit being unrealistic, illogical, nonsensical, and enjoy the picture show, and if it actually shows up enjoy it.  Life is one hell of an experience after another hell of an experience with coffee breaks in between.  Enjoy it all or stay the village idiot.

When I was seven we went to Disneyland.  I didn’t want to leave, so I threw a fit when we had to go home.  My dad said, “OK.  I’ll be right back.  I’m going to give you what you want.  He came back and said, “I have a surprise for you,” and handed me a ticket that said, “ONE YEAR PAID IN ADVANCE.  YOU HAVE TO STAY THE FULL YEAR.  YOU CAN’T LEAVE.”

Sue cried when I took away her trick or treat candy.  So I gave it all back to her and said eat all you want.  She smiled and started ripping open wrappers.  She ate and ate and ate, and then got a stomach ache and had to have her stomach pumped. Lesson learned.

Joe said, “All I want to do is play video games.”  So I locked him in his room.  When he yelled, “I’m hungry,” I said, “sorry about that, just keep playing your games.  That’s what you wanted and that’s what you got.”  When Joe died, we buried him with his games.

You are here to enjoy and be amused at this mysterious, magnificent amusement park.  You’re not here to complain and tell the owner, builder and architect how it should be.  On the bright side, everyone is amused when you complain that the park isn’t meeting your expectations, so thanks for the entertainment.  You’ve made the amusement park more amusing.

The most entertainment, and the most fun you’ll ever have in the amusement park of life is watching people who are not amused and bitch about the park.  However, the best part about the amusement park is the amusement little kids and teenagers provide, plus all the free entertainment  dumb asses who haven’t grown-up, and think bitching about the park is the path to happiness (as if the park gives a shit and will change its ways to suit crazy people’s insanity).

THAT’S LIFE

A NEWBORN UNIVERSE DEVELOPS HUMANS WHO ASK, “HOW DID ALL THIS HAPPEN?”  
A NEWBORN HUMAN DEVELOPS THE INTELLIGENCE TO ASK, “HOW DID I HAPPEN?

A HUMAN NAMED JOE TRAVELED FAR INTO SPACE AND FOUND A UNIVERSE WITH ALL KIND OF LIFE FORMS. IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT THIS UNIVERSE HAD BEEN DEVELOPING FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS, AND YET, IT WAS MERELY A ZOO, FOR IT DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE LIFE FORM WITH ENOUGH INTELLIGENCE TO ASK, “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?”

JOE LEFT THAT UNIVERSE BEHIND AND TRAVELED FURTHER INTO SPACE AND SAW A UNIVERSE JUST BEGINNING TO HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY TO EXPLODE INTO ORGANIZED FORMS, SO HE SET UP A CAMERA AND WAITED.  IT TOOK TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS OF YEARS BEFORE THERE WERE STARS, SOLAR SYSTEMS, PLANETS AND GALAXIES AND LIFE FORMS THAT ATE EACH OTHER AND REPRODUCED, AND IT TOOK SEVERAL OF ADDITIONAL BILLIONS OF YEARS BEFORE IT DEVELOPED A SPECIES THAT SAID TO EACH OTHER, “FUCK OFF DUMB ASS.”

JOE LEFT THAT NEW UNIVERSE AND HEADED HOME.   HE COULDN’T FIND IT.  IT HAD DISAPPEARED, DESTROYED ITSELF.  SO JOE MADE SOME JOE AND CONCLUDED THAT LIFE IS A SPONTANEOUS HAPPENING.  IT JUST DOES WHAT IT DOES, THINGS HAPPEN AND WORK, AND WHAT DOESN’T WORK, DOESN’T HAPPEN, AND ALL THAT HAPPENING WITHOUT INTENT OR PURPOSE.  LIFE IS JUST A HAPPENING THAT UNHAPPENS AND HAPPENS AGAIN, AND OCCASIONALLY LASTS LONG ENOUGH TO DEVELOP A SPECIES THAT CAN YELL, “FUCK IT!”  AND BLOW ITSELF UP, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, THERE’S PIZZA.

SO, WHAT HAPPENED TO JOE?  HE WENT BACK TO THE ZOO PLANET AND LANDED IN A GARDEN HE NAMED  EDEN AND OPENED A MCDONALDS.

THE TERMINATOR

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

When the “I am that I am” (call it God if you must) shows up as this or that (perhaps in the form of the Terminator) and you get irritated, upset, or angry, He’ll be back.

When you see God in everything (in every person, place, and thing) then, when a guy comes to steal your car, you laugh, because you know, it is God in the form of that guy, coming to steal your car.

If God can upset you by cutting you off in traffic, suing you, and eating the last cookie, he will keep doing it until nothing upsets you.

Until you receive all things with thankfulness, God will give you more things to complain about.

When you receive all things with thankfulness, God will give you more things to be thankful about.

God will keep teasing you in the form of lost keys, until losing your keys no longer upsets you.

You will have experiences that upset you until they no longer upset you.

You will only fully enjoy the peace that passes all understanding, when you see the divine in everything, and then you will laugh your ass off having been the butt of the cosmic joke.

If God shows up as an invading army, serve him cookies.

Resist not evil; turn the other cheek.  Why?  Because, until you do, you do not yet see the divine, and do not see the divine purpose in everything.  And what is that purpose?  I am all, and all is I am, and I do all things for my pleasure.  

I am here to enjoy myself, as you, and as the cat and the mouse and the dog too.

WITHOUT MY AVATAR

 Without my avatar, I am consciousness with memory.  

I can’t do things myself.  I need an avatar to do things.  

I connected to an avatar.  When that happened I lost my memories, but have thr qualities, and characteristics previously gained.

From birth my avatar was programmed by its parent’s avatars with their current information.  I asked questions, got answers, but had no way to judge the information, I merely accepted it, believed it.

I analyzed my avatar.  It is a genetic reproduction.  It came with physical and intellectual capabilities,  and emotional qualities. It came genetically programmed for survival,  with instincts, with genetic memories.  It has needs, and developed wants, and evolved desires.  It gets attached, entangled, and identified–physically, mentally, emotionally–with its needs, wants, desires, and with people, places, and things.  I have to deal with all its attributes as it engages its environment.   If it gets physically, intellectually, or emotionally damaged, disabled, or old, I have to deal with its incapacities.

It was a long time before I realized I am not this avatar I am connected to.   That’s when my language changed regarding it.  Instead of saying “I am Joe,” I say, “My avatar was named, Joe by its avatar parents.”  Instead of saying, “I am cold, hot, hungry, or, have to go to the bathroom,” I say, “My avatar is cold, hot, hungry, has to go to the bathroom.”

After I realized I am not this avatar, I asked, “What am I?”

For now, I use the word consciousness, to define what I am.  Probably words like awareness, observer, intelligence work as well.

I can think, remember, imagine, but physically I can do nothing without this avatar.

If my avatar’s intellect were to be injured, it would no longer be able to fully and accurately utilize my transmissions to it.  It would be useless, like as if dead, and then I would have to connect to a new avatar.

When I am silent, choosing not to interact with this avatar, I can disconnect from it, and there I am, no longer feeling its environment.  I need the avatar to feel things.  Without the avatar I am back to what I am, consciousness.

The interaction with this avatar blurs the lines of who is experiencing what.  I do not precise language to describe it.  If I direct it to try something and it gets hurt, it feels the pain.   I do not.  I might think, “Shit!  That was a dumb idea.  Now my avatar is suffering.”  I don’t always treat my avatar for its own well being.  Sometimes I test  its limits, like a race car, or an all terrain vehicle.  I should be nicer to my avatar, take better care of it, after all, it’s the only one I get for this adventure.

There are times I wonder about my discretion.  Why did I connect to THIS avatar in THIS environment, at THIS time in the evolution of THIS reality?  If I had a butt, I’d probably kick myself.  On the other hand (which I don’t have either) it’s been one hell of a ride, at least from my perspective.  I’m not sure this avatar would agree, though its had plenty of good times.

YOU WON'T BE NEARLY AS ENTERTAINING

 When consciousness attaches to an avatar, consciousness forgets it’s a consciousness and  thinks it is the avatar.  

1.  The One Consciousness divides into many individual consciousnesses.  

2.  Individual consciousnesses
     attach to avatars.  
     have experiences that increases their intelligences  
     develop qualities that live on when avatars die.
     get new avatars, over and over and over again.

3.  What is curiosity/news/information;
     Who is theology;
     How is science;
     Why is philosophy;
     Where is geography;
     When is subjective.

WHAT:     LIFE,
WHO:       ?
HOW:       POWERFUL,
WHY:        DISCOVER POTENTIAL, CURIOSITY, INTERESTING, FUN,
WHERE:   SPACE,
WHEN:      SUBJECTIVE.
NEXT:        MYSTERY.

4.  Most humans are OK not knowing the science of WHO, HOW, WHY, WHERE, WHEN.  Most humans want to know how to enjoy their lives.

5.  Some humans drive themselves nuts trying to understand the details of life.  It’s their way of enjoying their lives.

6.  For some, life is a mystery to solve, for most, life is a mystery to live.

7.  You sure you want to go there Pete.  You know there’s every kind of consciousness there, right?  It’s not a planet where only the most loving consciousnessess go, and there’s teenagers too. And when you get there, you’ll forget everything you know.  You’ll only arrive with the qualities you’ve developed. And worse, It’s not a PHD planet.  It’s day care and kindergarten at best.  Lots of crying and whining about how life isn’t going their way.  There, consciousnessess get ideas put in their heads about how their lives should be, and when it isn’t, they get irrational, illogical, nonsensical and unreasonable, and totally ignore reality.  And to survive, they exploit each other (but only when their not too busy killing each other for resources).  Yeah, I heard it’s a hell of a world, one hell of an adventure, and one hell of an opportunity to get over myself.  Well, it’s your funeral.  Maybe you’ll get lucky and won’t forget that you are a consciousness, that you are not the human avatar.  However, the odds aren’t good.  Most consciousnessess get identified, entangled and attached to their avatars physical, mental, emotional needs, wants, desires, and to people, places, and things, and most never break the chains of their indoctrinated enslavement.  Well, if I can’t talk you out of it, Pete, I just want to thank you.  Thank me for what?  For the entertainment you’ll be. Everyone watches the show, but not everyone is brave enough to be in the show.  Why hell, you might come back with some really good qualities and not be such a pain in the ass.  Of course, if that happens, you won’t be nearly as entertaining.

ZERO POINT NOTHINGNESS, SOCK PUPPET DIED

 My sock puppet died.  Immediately everything that I had sensed, disappeared.  I was in an empty space, not a thought, not an image appeared.

Because I (a piece of consciousness) have no beliefs, no opinions, biases, prejudices, theories, theologies, philosophies, no physical, mental, emotional needs, wants, desires that MUST be satisfied, and because I am not attached, entangled, and identified with people, places, things, I merely experienced I AM.  I didn’t experience, “I am this or that” (to give I AM some definition, I call it, ZERO POINT, or, NOTHINGNESS.

SOME OF THE STUFF HERE IS JUST WHERE I PARK THOUGHTS THAT I MIGHT IMPROVE ON. THEY'RE PARKED HERE SO IF MY COMPUTER CRASHES

 If I do that, will it cause low or high entropy (chaos or order, storm or calm)?  Low entropy (love) and high entropy (fear) is life.  A dead magnet is low entropy, no life.  A dead battery is dead.  

Potential (life) is only possible where both low and high entropy exist.  Physicality is made possible by opposites, low and high entropy, then calm, then pressure, then release, then calm, the cycle of life is both high, medium, and low entropy.

The word, the concept, a definition (and there many) of nomad:  simple indivisible unit, divine single atom).

If you are not OK eventually getting old, rickety, and your body slowly degenerating, incapacitating, plus you’re not OK with dying suddenly in your prime, what situation would you be OK with?  Or are you one of those humans that are just not OK if life doesn’t go your way, and thinks dying is a stupid way to check out?

What mind-set stimulates the feeling, the energy of appreciation?  What are your thoughts about life that cause you to appreciate all that is life?  Or do you only appreciate life when it aligns with your ego?

Life is sensational because of our senses, without which, life would be senseless, or non-existent.  What is consciousness conscious of?  Sensations, senses, and the words and thoughts that define or describe senses: pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow, success and failure, good and bad, virtue and vice, comfort and discomfort, in danger and safe, difficult and easy.  So what does all that mean?  If you are not OK with life being sensational, you got on the wrong bus.

I appreciate all that is life because life provides experiences that result in knowledge, understanding, and wisdom sufficient to avoid the consequences of ignorance.  I appreciate life for providing experiences that make me less subject to my ignorance of cause and effect, action and reaction.  I appreciate life providing me the potential to not always be a dumb ass.  I suffer my ignorance.  I do not suffer life.

Not needing anything is a wonderful place to live.
I don’t need things to be at peace.
I don’t want this or that to be at peace.
I don’t desire things to be at peace.
Whether my needs, wants, desire are met or not, I am at peace.

I am walking with people leaving a dead zone, we are trying to survive another day.  Whether we live or not, it doesn’t matter whether we will be comfortable to night or not doesn’t matter.  We do our best to meet our needs, wants desires, but if they are not met, we are at peace with outcomes.

We do our best to meet our needs, wants, desires, but if they are not met we are not ruffled, not irritated, upset, or angry.  We appreciate the walk.  We value the feeling of getting tired.  We benefit from the feeling of hunger.  We are at peace with the feeling of thirst, cold, shivering, danger.  We appreciate being alive, and if death comes, we will appreciate that experience too.

We were to be married, everything was set, but, as we walked to the alter, she stopped and said I changed my mind, and ran out of the church.  WELL, THAT HAPPENED, was my only thought.   On her side of the isle people gasped in disbelief, started making comments, poor him, what a waste of time and money doing all the wedding prep, all the anticipation, all the gifts we bought, and the honeymoon we paid for, what disaster.  On my side of the isle, everyone was laughing, and with a single voice, roared, WELL, THAT HAPPENED, and we all went into the party room and ate wedding cake, visited and gossiped about laughed about all the people that wouldn’t eat the wedding cake because they didn’t want to have less sex.

SOCK PUPPET

THE PRECISE DETAILS ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP
AND INTERACTION BETWEEN A PIECE OF CONSCIOUS
AND ITS AVATAR IS IRRELEVANT.  WHAT IS RELEVANT IS:
I AM A PIECE OF CONSCIOUSNESS, AN INTELLIGENCE,
AND I “ENTER” AVATARS TO HAVE EXPERIENCES TO
ACQUIRE QUALITIES.

 

 

I am a piece of the one consciousness.
As a piece of the one consciousness, I cannot contain all that the one consciousness knows.
I know nothing.
I get attached to an avatar and have experiences and learn.
The avatar dies.  I live on, and attach to a new avatar.  
My knowledge, understanding increases with each new avatar.
Now I am advanced enough to get attached to a human avatar.  This happens over and over again.
Each time I get attached to a new avatar, I arrive with qualities, but no memory of how I obtained those qualities.
When my current avatar dies, I live on remembering for a short time my life as that avatar, but as the memories of that avatar fade, all my previous memories return.
When I enter another new avatar, I arrive again with my qualities, but no memory of how I obtained those qualities.  I attach to the new avatar, and I know nothing.  I just have qualities, talents, abilities.
Each avatar I attach to is merely a sock puppet, a unthinking avatar.
I, as a piece of consciousness, do all the thinking, have all the current memory.  The sock puppet knows nothing.  It is incapable of knowing.  I, as a piece of consciousness, am the brains of the outfit called an avatar.

VIRTUAL REALITY

AN AVATAR IS MINDLESS, HAS NO MEMORY, DOESN’T GET MENTALLY TRAINED, DOESN’T THINK.  AN AVATAR IS JUST A SOCK PUPPET.  An avatar has no more brains than your socks, shoes, pants, shirt, coat, and gloves.

We live in a virtual reality.
Consciousness is the computer
Consciousness can configure a part of itself to be another computer.
Consciousness can take little pieces, chips of itself, and make other smaller consciousnesses
Human body is the avatar.
You (smaller consciousness) are the PLAYER, playing the avatar.
PLAYER MAKES ALL THE CHOICES FOR THE avatar.  You are not the human.
From avatar’s point of view, computer and player are non physical.
Player and computer have to be in the same reality frame, are both consciousness, both non-physical.
Avatar dies, consciousness lives.
YOU have a human avatar.  YOU are CONSCIOUSNESS,  playing an avatar.

Why does consciousness play?
Consciousness is an information system.
Reality is information
Consciousness is aware, makes choices.
Consciousness orders bits, makes pattern, orders them, useful, low entropy keeps them in order, high entropy creates disorder.  Order out of chaos.  High entropy kills order.  Low entropy establishes order.  
Low entropy: love, kind, sharing, helping, unselfish, inclusive.
High entropy: fear, murder, deception, lying, thieving, killing, selfish, exclusive.

Consciousness is mindful energy, computes (thinks) gives orders.
Avatar is mindless energy and obeys orders.
Consciousness has memory.
Avatar has no memory.
War in heaven: Force low entropy vs. be low entropy.
High entropy living with low entropy, high entropy wins.
Have to remove low entropy to its own place.

Earth is a high entropy school where you learn that high entropy is destructive, and low entropy is constructive.
High entropy consciousnessess force life, have a way life must go.
Low entropy consciousnessess flow with life, have NO way life must go.

Consciousness “enters” avatar and doesn’t know it’s in an avatar (get programmed and trained to obey societal and cultural norms).  When consciousness realizes it is NOT the avatar, things change.  ASLEEP CONSCIOUSNESS takes on physical, mental, emotional needs, wants, desires, gets attached, entangled, identified with people places thing and wants to survive and does things to survive.  An awake consciousness DUMPS its programming, DUMPS its fake identity as an avatar, and flows with life.

AN AVATAR IS MINDLESS, HAS NO MEMORY, DOESN’T GET MENTALLY TRAINED, DOESN’T THINK.  AN AVATAR IS JUST A SOCK PUPPET.  An avatar has no more brains than your socks, shoes, pants, shirt, coat, and gloves.  The piece of consciousness enters an avatar with just its qualities, no memories.  A piece of consciousness has no intellectual information when in an avatar, but can have access to intuitive information.

Tom Campbell's physics, and eastern philosophy and theology all teach this.

YOUR LIFE

 YOUR LIFE IS A STORY.  YOU ARE THE CO-AUTHOR, AND THE MAIN CHARACTER

Life amuses and entertains itself and enjoys creating new stories that reveal its potential as an author.

What’s the take a way?  Enjoy your story, but remember, you’re merely a character playing a part.  If you get attached to the story, you’ll suffer the emotional consequences when the story doesn’t go your way, like when your time as a character is over, or when one of the characters you love dies before its worn out.  On the other hand, if you choose to experience all the emotions available in the story, go for it, get lost in the story, get attached, entangled and identified with the actors,  your wife, kids, friends, career, new house and car.

I was enjoying a story and the author killed off my favorite character, so I threw the book across the room, then went and picked it up and tossed it in the fire.

Characters are what makes a story exciting.  The reader doesn’t know what a character may do, in fact, the best part is when a character goes out of character and does something unexpected, when it uses its power, its potential (that the reader didn’t anticipate and even the character didn’t know it possessed).

Waking up before your story is over (though, if you wake up, that becomes part of the story) and waking up kind of takes you emotionally out of the story, but, you’ll still have to pee until you, a character, gets its own headstone.  And, waking up while yet in the story, makes you laugh, which really pisses off the characters yet asleep.  So don’t do it in front of them.

The number of religious, social, cultural and environmental conditions a character can be written into, and the various perspectives characters can have, plus the endless number of other characters they could interact with, makes for an infinite number of potential stories.  So, once a character has been developed, it can get killed in one story, and appear in another story with its attributes, qualities, different body and a nose ring.

Staying constantly aware you are an actor in a story doesn’t ruin the story for you, but it can take away the excitement that a young child feels discovering a butterfly.

NO WORRIES

No worries.  I never have to think about my body not working correctly.  It just works (until it doesn't).  My body started from a seed, without a thought from me.  I was incapable of a thought at the time.  The body was born healthy and functioning, and there I was, and yet, not a thought from me.  You could say there was no me.  So how did a “me” originate, and come to be?  And what is this body?

Today I look back to my body’s history, my minds history.  At my beginning there was no concept of “me.”  My body grew.  My mind and body memorized experiences.  I learned words.  “Good morning Thomas.  I am your mom.  This is your sister.    It wasn’t long that when I heard the word Thomas, it was me to which the word referred.  When I heard the word, “Thomas,”  I looked to where the voice came from.  I knew they meant me, but I didn’t know what was me.

Later, I asked my mom, “What is me?  What am I? Where did I come from?  How did I get here?  Why am I here?  What am I supposed to do here?  Where is ‘here’?”  From that point on I was given lots of information, lots of new words.  I looked around me, things were always going on, things kept my mind busy with what I was doing, but I never analyzed what I was doing.  I was just eating, playing, sleeping, waking up, repeat, repeat, repeat.  I stopped questioning and just did what there was to do.  There was plenty to do.  I had no thought like, “How come there’s this or that to do.  I was just responding to this or that.

I was given a story about life, it’s purpose, and where I could go after I die.  It answered a lot of questions about life, and left many unanswered.  But I heard the story, had no question whether it was true or not.  The word truth did not come to mind.  The story was just more information jumbling around in my head.  The information was just there.  Anyway, I was too busy enjoying doing, growing up, discovering and living new experiences, school, friends, teenager, adult, jobs, military, dating, marriage, children, earning a living.

Life is a marvelous wonder, a magnificent happening.  I looked at things.   Everything just works.  There’s earth, flowers, meadows, trees, butterflies, birds, squirrels, cats and dogs.  They are just here doing what they do, living life.  If that isn’t a marvel and a wonder, what is?  The animals just do what they do and they never look worried or concerned.  They just respond to what is happening.  I wonder if they think, “What is happening to me?  Who am I?  What am I doing here?”  It seems, animals just are what they are, and do what they do, and have no personas to defend, and never have the thought, “What about me?”

It seems, no animals (other than humans) are plagued by words put into their memory by their parents, environment, culture, society, and schools.  Apparently, only humans are brainwashed, indoctrinated, programmed, propagandized, schooled and groomed.  

The real question is why does life have animals that just automatically and  instinctively do what they do without a single worried or concerned thought, while human animals are perpetually plagued by their thoughts about themselves, about me, me, me?  I suppose, like the rest of life, if life didn’t want humans to be groomed by other humans, they wouldn’t be.  So again, why?  And, what is life?  Why is there life?  Why has anything happened, and why does life continue to happen?  Does life know what it’s doing, or has life just naturally evolved into a petri dish, a fertile environment of energy that evolved humans who worry and are concerned and want to know, what the hell is going on?

It doesn’t really matter whether there is a why and how, since humans and other animals, and earth, trees, bugs and bagels are the result of life doing what life does.  Anyway, humans are plenty busy just trying to survive, as long as they can life’s inevitable death spiral.  The coolest part about humans is, there is a way for them to enjoy all that is life, not only in spite of life’s ways, but even because of life’s ways.  And the way is to dump ridiculous, nonsensical, irrational and illogical programs that cause worry and concern, and install logical programs that make life an awesome adventure, and all it costs is your life which you paid nothing for, and keeps going until it doesn’t.

NATURE

 What’s life all about, why is there anything, what’s the point, purpose. will, intent; why is there something, why humans, how come there’s nothing?

Life is action, a function, a process of probabilities, a self replicating cause and effect pursuit of the unknown, a cyclical innate, uncreated phenomenon of nature that creates.  Life is potential, the capacity or capabilities of power, or a force (there is no potential, no capacity, no capabilities without a power, or a force, thus, “there would be no life without the force of nature”).


The attempt to understand and define life, presupposes that thought (words and their definitions) are accurate and meaningful.  By the time an intelligence matures and learns enough words to look back and think about its relationship in creation, it realizes that thinking with words is actually defining images.  

Even if you are able to discern the difference between  thoughts from local memory and thoughts from unlocalized memory, presumes the existence of unlocalized memory, and, that its more accurate.  The source of thoughts and their accuracy is questionable.

There is no doubt humans are creative thinkers, imagination producers, thought-energy manufacturers of physical reality.  Humans are intellectual storehouses of information, and both humans and information are energy in form made visible through sensors that are also energy in form.  

Humans learn, think, design and create.  It is the nature of nature to learn, think, design, and create.  Nature creates because that’s its nature, and since humans are portions of nature, it is human nature to create.  Humans and nature are one.  The difference is capacity, not ability.  

Just like nature learned about its creative nature, its potential, human creators follow the same learning process, here a little, there a little until they realize more and more of their potential.

Nature, as humans (nature being humans and everything else) is in search of its potential, to see if there are limitations to its abilities, which is also what humans do.   Nature asks itself, what can I be?  What can I do?  What can I become?  Humans ask the same questions, as do human offspring.  

What is the relationship between nature and humans. There is only nature experimenting being human, and everything else.  Humans, with their self-aware minds, just think themselves a special portion of nature.

What is nature?  How did nature come to be?  Did nature come to be?  Was there a time when nature didn’t exist?  The answer, is a question.  Was there a time when humans didn’t exist?  Yes.  How humans came to be is how nature came to be, how everything comes to be.  And how is that?  How did everything come to be?  
Like humans, until nature gained the capacity to look back to its own beginnings, it was incapable of asking the question.  

Does nature have the answer?  It wasn’t until “energy” naturally self-organized into an intellect, into an intelligence, it did not have the capacity to ask that question.  Once it had the capacity, the answer was self-evident.  It is the nature, the natural cycle of “energy” to organize, combine, come together, and the result is intelligence, the capacity to organize and combine energy, into forms.  Whatever definitions humans give to energy, energy is the source material of creation, and it self-organizes, and disorganizes, in cycles, from non-intelligence to intelligence, and thereafter acts upon energy particles to create other energy-forms.

Energy is life-force.  Life-force is energy.  Energy is the source, and the force of life that becomes intelligent enough to us its intel (information) to organize energy into more information.  Life-force, as an intelligence, seeks to know its potential, and its joy is in the seeking of its unknown potential, even as do humans (being portions of life-force intelligence) have joy in seeking their own potential.

OUT OF YOUR MIND AND GOOFY

 IF YOU ARE OK GETTING, AND NOT OK NOT GETTING, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF GETTING.

IF YOU ARE OK HAVING, AND NOT OK NOT HAVING, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF HAVING.

IF YOU ARE OK BEING HAPPY, AND NOT OK BEING UNHAPPY, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF HAPPINESS.

IF YOU ARE WHEN AT PEACE, AND NOT OK WHEN NOT AT PEACE, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF PEACE.

IF YOU ARE NOT OK LOST IN A DESERT, SLOWLY DYING, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

IF YOU ARE NOT OK BEING ALIVE, AND NOT OK BEING DEAD, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF LIVING.  

IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY BEING NO ONE, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF BEING SOMEONE.

IF YOU ARE NOT OK BEING NO THING, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF BEING SOMETHING.

IF YOU OK WITH EXISTENCE, AND NOT OK WITH NON-EXISTENCE, YOU ARE THE SLAVE OF EXISTENCE.

IF YOU ARE OK BEING AN ENERGY-FORM, AND NOT OK NOT BEING AN ENERGY FORM, YOU ARE A SLAVE OF FORM.

IF YOU ARE OK BEING ENERGY, AND NOT OK NOT BEING ENERGY, YOU ARE A SLAVE OF ENERGY.

IF YOU ARE OK IN SILENCE, AND NOT OK IN NO SILENCE, YOU ARE A SLAVE OF SILENCE.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

IF YOU ARE OK WITH WHAT IS AND ISN’T, WITH WAS AND WASN’T, AND WITH WHAT WILL BE AND WON’T BE, YOU ARE LIBERATED.  WHICH ALSO MEANS, YOU ARE OK BEING LIBERATED AND NOT LIBERATED.

WHICH MEANS YOU ARE OK AND NOT OK WITH THINGS AS THEY WERE, ARE, AND WILL BE.  WHICH MEANS YOU ARE OK WITH THE TRUTH, AND NOT OK WITH THE TRUTH.  WHICH, FINALLY MEANS: YOU’RE NOT OK UNTIL YOU HAVE NO PERSONAL PROBLEMS WITH LIFE.  YOU DO NOT TAKE LIFE PERSONAL.  YOU STOP BEING A PERSON AND BE LIFE ITSELF.  YOU REALIZE YOU ARE LIFE HAVING THE ADVENTURE OF A PERSONAL LIFE, AND WHEN YOU NO LONGER TAKE LIFE PERSONAL, AND ALL THAT IS LEFT IS LIFE DOING LIFE, AND YOU ARE THAT, AND ONCE YOU EXPERIENCE THAT, YOU ARE ALWAYS OK BECAUSE THERE IS NO YOU.  YOU WERE JUST A CREATION OF MIND, A MENTAL CONSTRUCT THAT APPEARS AND DISAPPEARS AS QUICK AS A THOUGHT.

WHAT’S THE VALUE OF KNOWING THAT?  WHAT’S THE TAKE AWAY?
YOU LAUGH AT YOURSELF FOR EVER HAVING TAKEN YOURSELF SERIOUSLY, AND LAUGH EMPATHETICALLY AT THEY WHO STILL DO, AND YOU SMILE KNOWINGLY AT YOUR KIDS AND GRAND KID’S MIND GAMES THAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE SERIOUS.

BOTTOM LINE: YOU GET THE JOKE LIFE IS PLAYING ON ITSELF, AND IT’S NOW DIFFICULT TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE AT EVERYTHING THAT IS LIFE.  WHICH MEANS, EVERYONE STILL ASLEEP, THINKS YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND AND YOU’RE NOW KIND OF GOOFY.

I entered a world.  I arrived with qualities, automatic responses.  I viewed the world.  In a short time I knew what the world was like, causes, effects, actions, reactions of people, and the world.  I could join in, change what was changeable, improve what was improvable, OR, sit in a cave and do nothing.  What to do?  My actions, dealing with situations, people, have consequences.  Even doing nothing has consequences.  Why did I return?

I RETURNED FOR THE ADVENTURE–CHALLENGE, RISK, EXCITEMENT, NEW EXPERIENCES,  TO FEEL THE ENERGIES, EMOTIONS.

RIGHT OR WRONG

 I watched a movie, then a play, read a fiction book, went to a theme park, traveled to a foreign country, visited relatives, went to a shopping mall and watched people, and suddenly realized, something is wrong.  To make sure I was correct thinking that something was wrong, I went to a prison, a jail,  a hospital emergency room, a children’s hospital, then to an old folks home, a hospice, a morgue, and a graveyard, and ended up at a war memorial.  Yup, I am positive that almost everything happening on Earth is wrong, especially with my two neighbors who are members of a weird religion and dress funny, and those kids with piercings and spiked red hair.

As I sat pondering all that was wrong, I fell into a trance and had not a single thought. I discovered a place where nothing was wrong.  But the cool part happened when I woke up, and went back to all those places, and found nothing wrong.  And that’s when I called my psychiatrist, and told him about my experience, and he told me that, that’s what happens after a lobotomy.  I asked him what’s a lobotomy, and he said that’s when we cut out the personal mind, the part of the mind that was programmed, brainwashed, indoctrinated and trained from the moment of conception.  We cut out the personal mind that recorded all the stuff your parents and relatives fed it, cut out all the stuff society, culture and schooling pumped into it.  In other words, we cut out everything that causes you to think life is doing life wrong. We cut out the part of the brain that judges what life is doing, the part that has opinions, biases, prejudices, preferences, and draws conclusions, the part that calls life an idiot for doing what life does.    We cut the part of the brain that thinks it’s smarter than life, the part that doesn’t know what life is doing.

So I asked my shrink how come humans have physical, mental, emotional needs, wants, desires, and get attached, entangled, and identified with people, places, things.  He said that if life didn’t want humans to experience life that way, humans wouldn’t be experiencing life that way.  So I told my shrink that, that’s where life is still wrong.  And that’s when he told me to come back in and get the final part of the lobotomy that failed to cut out that part of the brain that still thinks life screwed up, the part that still thinks life does life wrong.  So what’s the take away from all this, I asked him.  He said, “Whatever life does is right, which means, you thinking life does life wrong is also right.”  Well then, How come I had a lobotomy?”  I asked.  He said, “My payment on my new jet was due.”  I said, “That ain’t right!”    He said, “Whether right or wrong, don’t blame me, blame life.”  Then he hung up.

LIFE ISN'T A GAME

When you view life through perfect spectacles, life is not distorted.  You view life clearly, see it as it is.  Perfect spectacles reveal how imperfectly you had been viewing life.  Perfect spectacles clear away your opinions, judgements, biases, prejudices, beliefs, dogma, and conclusions about life.  Now you have a more true point-of-view, a clearer perspective, a more refined attitude, and a more joyful temperament and disposition.  You clearly see that life is an infinite journey of self-discovery, and when you realize that, your appreciation for life becomes boundless and infinite.


Energy DOES people places thing.  Energy peoples.  Energy dogs.  Energy trees.  Air tornadoes.  Water rivers, oceans.  Sun heats, fires.  Earth mountains, valleys, deserts.  

In the process of life discovering its infinite potential, it realized it can reproduce itself, similar to humans discovering they can reproduce themselves.  And just like humans help their children reach their potential, life helps its offspring discover and reach their personal potential while pursuing its personal infinite potential.

Life isn’t playing a game, however, playing life like it is a game, makes it fun, whereas taking life seriously makes your life a miserable grind.  Life, like humans, is merely discovering its innate infinite potential.  

Life enjoys discovering its potential, just like each human enjoys discovering its potential.

Life has a genealogy, and humans are part of life’s genealogy, not separate from it.

JUST WONDERING FROM BEHIND LIFE'S SCREEN

 BEHIND LIFE’S SCREEN
Are you here to fulfill other’s expectations?  
If you have good relationships it’s because you are fulfilling other’s expectations.  
Conformity is a social disease.
Conforming makes life easy.
Caring what others think, makes you them.
Children are socialized so they don’t have too much fun being real.
If you live your life to please others, you’re their puppet.
If you live your life to make others happy, you’re their slave.
If you live your life to be at peace with others, you’re a coward
People only like you because you are like them.
Fitting in doesn’t make you a misfit.  It makes you controllable.
Being a misfit in a society of nuts makes for an exciting life.
If you go-along to get-along, means you’re fake.
Low entropy is comfortable, but boring.
Dump your programming and what’s left is a rebel.
Why was there a rebellion in heaven?
Clones go to heaven.
THE ONE has no opposite, no rebel, no clone.  The One just IS.  If The One clones itself ten thousand times, there are ten thousand ONES thinking, doing and being the same thing, and wondering why they exist.  

INDIVIDUALISM, VARIETY, UNIQUENESS, DIFFERENT, PECULIAR, STRANGE, DIVERSE, ASSORTMENT, MIXTURE, CONCOCTION, NOT THE SAME, NOT CLONES.

MONAD

 A PERSON WHO KNOWS IT’S THE MONAD FROM WHICH LIFE SPRANG,  BUT STILL MOANS ABOUT LIFE,  IS LIKE A SCIENTIST WHO KNOWS THE SECRETS OF LIFE, BUT STILL GETS PISSED THAT HE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO SET THE TIME ON HIS VCR, WHEREAS A PERSON WHO HAS HAD A SMALL TASTE OF THE MONAD, BECOMES “MONAD THE STREAMING SERVICE” DELIVERING ENTERTAINMENT CONTENT.  AND WHY DOES MONAD DO THAT?  BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT DOES!

ANALOGY: Determined to find out what I really am, I entered space, the stillness of silence, emptying every thought, every memory, every identity, every darkness.  The more I emptied,  the more I was filled with the light, all because my mind no longer blocked the light.

God is a movie production company, idea creator, screenwriter, script writer, producer, director, casting director, crew manager, designer, sound engineer, location scout, set constructor, story board creator, costume designer, and every actor-person, place and thing in the movie, and, GOD IS THE MOVIE.  Why does God do movies?  God does movies for the same reason you go to movies.

Why does God play every actor, play every place, and thing?  Because God is all there is, just like energy is all there is and is every actor, plays every place, and thing.  What about the screen upon which the movie comes to life.  Well, that’s space, space itself where all the action happens.

What part do theologians, philosophers, and psychologists play in the movie?  Theologians try to explain WHY there is a movie.  Philosophers examine the meaning of the movie.  Psychologists try to explain why actors are nuts.  What about the conclusions they draw?  The conclusions are part of the movie that drives actors and audiences even more nuts.  

What about the audience?  They’re just as odd and nuts as the actors who don’t know they’re the actors and the audience.

So what are we to make of the movie called LIFE?  From human actors and audience’s perspectives, God was bored.  For God’s perspective, ask IT, or you can assume God is exploring ITS potential.

What about all the horrors in the movie, all the violence, destruction, pain and sorrow?  Wouldn’t be a movie worth producing or watching.  

Now get out there and enjoy the show.  If you can’t do that, at least try to get your money back.
   


The creator is too busy living its own potential to care about your individual potential.  God designed a System to deal with human potential.



FIRST DAY IN BUDDHA KINDERGARTEN

The teacher finished shuffling all the Karma Kids into the classroom.  As soon as they settled on the matts, Johnny raised his hand and yelled, What’s Karma?  One of the other kids yelled, “It means work, action, that’s all, unless you add a lot of bullshit meanings never intended.”  The whole class snickered, chuckled, laughed, and started  levitating around the room..  “Ah shit,” thought the teacher.  “Another year in Kinder-Buddha hell,” and then said quietly, “settle down,” while lowering his arms which caused the kids to return to the matts, leaving them wondering why they could no longer float around the room playing bumper cars with their bodies.

The teachers smiled and asked, “Can anyone tell me the difference between physical and mental reality?”
Susie’s hand shot into the air she blurted out, “Oh my God, you don’t know?”  The whole class burst out laughing.  The teacher groaned and thought, “This may be the year I quit.  This crop of kids is going to drive me nuts.”  And then the whole class yelled, “To late, and started bouncing around the room playing air tag.  Then, as quick as it started, the bouncing stopped, the bodies fell, and their sparks of consciousness flew out of the room in all directions and disappeared.  “Shit, thought the teacher, “Whose going to clean up this mess of bodies?”  But as he was pondering that, the bodies reanimated, and the kids sat on their matts, snickering silently.   The teacher thought, “Fuckin’ little demons.  I’ll show them.”  All at once, the class looked up as the teacher’s body slumped to the floor as his consciousness jetted up through the ceiling, at which time, Johnny, of course, yelled, “It’s recess time, and they all ran out of room, bodies intact, heading for freedom.


WHAT DOES IT MEAN
When mindful breathing is more pleasant than mental combat?
When mindlessness is more pleasant than mindfulness?
When non-doing is more pleasant than performing?
When inactivity is more alluring than activity?
When you no longer need excitement to be excited?
When you no longer need the outside feeding the inside?
When you are whole and no longer fragmented?
YOUR FUCKED because you are still here, and when people enter your presence they think you’re nuts because you’re appreciating the wonder of life, enjoying all that is life, but in truth, you’ve merely escaped the insane asylum, and the inmates unknowingly know it, and the more astute among the inmates want to know how you escaped.  

Since you’re still here and partly over there you feel empathy and compassion for adults who have not yet returned to the simple joys of carefree childhood, who no longer are playfully playing the game of life, but instead, must win so they can rest in the most luxurious coffin their winnings can buy, unless of course their relatives opt for a cardboard box, and use your winnings to pay their mortgages on their insane asylums.
