WHEN A CHARACTER AWAKENS

You do what you do because you arrived with qualities into an 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 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, “portion of me will become a bunch of dumb asses, 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 A BODY FOR THE ONE TO PLAY YOU, AN ACTOR.  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 THE ONE IN DISGUISE.

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.
