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.
