Why do Bad Things Happen to Good People?
An eternal question: Why do bad things happen to good people?
The perception of "deserve" is illusory. The dichotomy of good and bad is illusory. Everything physical goes in cycles, whether it be up-down waves, on-off switching, positive-negative force, etc. The universe we live in moves in perfect balance, no matter what we think, no matter what we do or do not do.
It follows that the eastern interpretation of Karma is not accurate:
"Most people think that what you do will have an effect on your future life, even after death; what you do will come back to you, etc. It is not true. Doing something, bad or good, to or for someone will not create the good and bad in your future life. It is balanced; it just happens no matter what you do. The balance makes everyone’s life fair, just, equal and perfect, but it is not influenced by any actions you take, good or bad. You are never a victim of anyone. Everything that happens is always life creating balance. Your only choice is to see it for what it is, or not see it."
- from The Present at www.truthcontest.com
It also follows that the morality of western religion and the "requirements" to get to heaven are inaccurate and misinterpreted, because recognizing the balance strips away free will and destiny at the same time, leaving only the present moment. You are not your mind - you are not in the past and/or future. The bio-electric activity in your brain is not you. It is physical, so those neurons firing in patterns is life creating balance. To know the balance is to know that there is no "you" that has control over life. You are the receiver of it all, of life.
Having no free will, no control, is frightening to the mind, because it is beyond the mind. What the balance means is confusing and even terrifying, because it renders obsolete the morality that keeps society functioning, the morality that keeps the beast within us suppressed and tamed. This morality is based on flaky concepts and feelings like compassion and empathy, and on false religious beliefs. Law enforcement is different, because it directly opposes the beast. If the balance of life just happens on its own and is not influenced by any actions you take, what is stopping people from reverting back to our instinctual nature to satisfy animal pleasures? What is stopping people from raping and torturing others? What motivates people to help others? In truth, what you do to other people does not affect them, no matter what you do. Everything that happens is always life creating balance.
If this sounds crazy, check it out for yourself. Once it really hits you and becomes obvious, it will make you very uncomfortable.
This is dangerous stuff. If there is no such thing as "deserve," no control over life, no consequences to behavior, a fear is instilled as thoughts manifest of people tearing each other apart in a frenzy. Why is this fear so strong? It is because the beast is within you too. We have evolved with these instincts all throughout evolution, and we have not overcome them. They are tamed by an illusory morality that makes civilization and society possible.
Mankind is like an island in the sea of animal life. Life became self-aware in the last 20,000 years when we became indirectly aware of our environment and connected to the collective unconscious on the level of the modern mind. Since then, the rational mind has become more capable and more aware, more apt to receive inspirations like language, music, art, religion, logic, science, etc. Relatively speaking, the mind of man has catalyzed all leaps in progress and discovery to get us to where we are today in a very short time period compared to 700 million years of evolution. Despite the achievements of the human race, the beast within has not been overcome, and it operates from its hiding place. Our modern minds have searched for truth, distorted our direct awareness of life, and hidden the instinctual mind that roars within us and runs this world. The major problem right now is that people have stopped searching for truth and are lost in myths and/or caught up in the mind games and pleasures of this world. We must go all the way and use our rational minds to seek and learn the fundamental truth of life, which is now being revealed and spread with the internet. For the first time in history, we can and must, as a species, connect to the collective unconscious on the level of universal truth. Without the truth, we are nothing more than smart animals. The truth is very scary to the mind, but it is essential that we face it. To seek the truth, face the truth, and use it to overcome the deceptive mind of this world and the instinctual mind is the next step in evolution, and we must do it consciously in these bodies.
The current morality that keeps the beast suppressed would not hold up if the basic necessities of survival were unavailable to the masses. Extreme thirst and hunger would release the beast, and in tandem with our imaginative, fantasizing minds, things could get uglier than ever before very fast. The truth brings forth a new morality, a real, unshakable morality. This morality is to be the foundation of our global society if the human race is to overcome the beast within and survive. It is incredibly important that the morality that the truth creates is there to instantly replace the current, false morality when we become aware of the balance and what it means. Thus, it must be presented and clarified.
“It is almost as if you were frantically constructing another world while the world that you live in dissolves beneath your feet, and that your survival depends on completing this construction at least one second before the old habitation collapses.” - Tennessee Williams
Knowledge of the balance does not remove responsibility for behavior. Now you are responsible for seeing the truth of the balance and living in the center of the extremes. Knowledge of the balance does not negate the golden rule: Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself. You cannot hurt or help anyone. Literally, everything you do is for yourself. When you know the truth, you know that hurting or helping others is hurting or helping yourself. What goes around comes around. In a universe that moves in perfect balance, giving is receiving. There is noone judging you except for yourself.
So, back to the question posed at the beginning of this post. Why do bad things happen to good people? Since the question has been torn apart at the very seams, it will be reworded: Why does the perception of bad things happening to good people even exist?
The answer: The masses are not yet consciously aware of the balance. Our physical environment is always a manifestation of the balance, so to not be aware of the balance is to live in ignorance of what pervades our very existence and experience.
With the growth of global communication technology, we are able to see what is happening around the globe, and it is becoming increasingly obvious that humans do not live in harmony with the balance. Thus, it follows that we do not live in harmony with each other, the planet we all share, and life itself.
The gap between the very rich and very poor continues to grow, and the middle class continues to dwindle. People who live on much more than they need, who chase pleasure and blow money on expensive things that they don't need, represent one of the extremes. People who cannot afford to clothe themselves, who struggle to live without clean water and go to bed starving each night, represent the other extreme. Poverty leads to religious fanatics, violence, and other animal behavior to get the basic necessities of life or some fulfillment. Without awareness of the balance, these extremes persist. It is hard for people living in these extremes to see the truth, because the wealthy are caught up in the money/pleasure game, and the poor are struggling to survive. Unless the rich and well-to-do see the balance and give/share what they don't need, this vicious greed-poverty cycle will persist, and it will destroy our environment and the human race.
We see that our world is blind to the balance by observing how people behave, how they lead their lives. It doesn't matter what people talk about, say they are into, or think they know. All that matters is what they do, how they live, because it shows where they are at, what level of the collective unconscious they are connected to. At present, nowhere near the majority of people aspire to simplify their lives, live modestly, and show their moderation to all men, and this is because nowhere near the majority of people are consciously aware of the balance. The rich chase pleasure and put on a show to get others to envy them and deceive themselves and others into thinking they have a fulfilling life. This is an illusion. The poor and even middle class aspire to get rich, to have more things, to be as fulfilled as the wealthy, famous, and well-to-do appear to be. This is a delusion. The mind is deceiving everyone with appearances, while the instinctual mind runs this world with greed and pleasure from its hiding place.
As alluded to throughout this post and others, there is no other way to move beyond these false perceptions than to see the truth and live in it. On an individual level, we must seek the truth and do what it dictates for ourselves. If enough people just save themselves, our world will reflect that change. A critical mass must become consciously aware of the truth and aim to live in the center of the extremes so that the veil of deception and ignorance will be lifted from this world. The way is to find, define, and spread the truth while moving towards simplicity. Are you on path?

No Other Way
The only way to true, eternal life is by way of truth.
There is no other way.
The mind blocks and distorts the pure, present, direct life experience by essentially editing your life by converting what you receive through your senses into thoughts, words, feelings and emotions - mind perceptions. The mind is more open to life (out of the way) when you experience new, pleasurable and exciting things, but then it closes you more to life more permanently if you do not know the truth, because it attaches that newness, pleasure and excitement to the past and future, and you want more than what is present. The many faces of the mind fool people into thinking there is something better, something more - but abundant life is here now. Everything people are motivated to do is to get fulfillment, to fill the emptiness, but the things the mind does just make it impossible to be completely fulfilled. These faces of the mind make themselves easily recognized when you observe intellectual pursuit of unnecessary knowledge and information, religious belief, chasing wealth and power, ritual, pleasure seeking, other distractions and everything else the mind leads people in circles with.
To surpass the biggest illusion is to realize that you are not your mind. Then, you must realize what that means. It means that there is no "you" that has control over life. The essence of what you are is eternal, for pure awareness/consciousness is always present. It always has been and always will be, because the universe does not waste anything, including consciousness, it just changes form. When a body can no longer function and harbor consciousness, it dissolves and manifests again, "moves" to the next body, the next world, based on the level of awareness attained in the last body. This is evolution, and we have been through the entire evolutionary process here on earth to get to where we are now. Could it be any other way?
Just as you (consciousness) receive life, you receive what the mind creates. "Your mind" is bio-electric and chemical activity in your brain, neurons firing and communicating, manifesting perceptions of the environment. We receive input directly from life and sensory systems in our bodies undergo complex transduction mechanisms to sense life, to see, hear, feel, smell and taste the present, to be conscious and aware. These mechanisms move in balance, and a signal is sent to the brain almost instantaneously, which activates balanced on/off firing of neurons which start chain reactions of neuron firing and chemical release. Familiar pathways of firing form as the neuronal network is molded by experience, and the mind perceptions form, interpreting life and forming memories. As the mind perceptions get stronger, the direct experience of life gets weaker, and experience is filtered through the mind.
Realize how intense it is to be in your body right now. There are countless processes happening in your body at any given time. The heart beats, blood is pumped, cells are reproduced, hormones are distributed, life is transduced into sensory signals which fire neuronal cascades into thoughts, emotions, feelings, mind perceptions... You are not in control of any of it, it just happens and balances on its own. There is no escaping this temporary body the consciousness (you) is focused in, no escaping the balancing force, no escaping the order of the universe.
Everything in your body just happens on it's own, on autopilot, including the brain activity and mind, just as everything outside of your skin happens on it's own. Everything physical is held together in balance, moving toward balance. The universe would fall apart if it was not constantly balancing itself. Can you think of one process or thing that does not balance out eventually and is not held together in balance? It is not any different for your body and physical mechanisms transducing sensory experience. You are the receiver of the sensory input and resulting perception, the receiver of life, so everything that happens to you is life creating balance. All pleasure will be balanced by an equal amount of pain, so why seek it? There is no point in chasing the pleasures of this world.
The previous paragraphs are just a taste of what you will find in The Present, and a detailed expression of them is not the purpose of this post. The Present explains the ultimate truth in the most clear, complete and accurate way in the history of mankind. Anyone who disagrees should submit an entry to the Truth Contest. The purpose of this post is to explain that there is no other way to true life except to use the truth to overcome the mind. The first step is to read the top entry in its entirety, and then read the last section several times. Then, to live in the truth, you must take the next step and give back to the truth by spreading it or helping others who have dedicated their lives to spreading truth by financially and physically supporting them. If you help and financially support those who actively spread the truth, they will be able to do it full time, which will significantly help you (the giver) and give the human race a chance at survival. Because this universe moves in balance, you have to give to receive. Giving = Receiving is not just a moral code; it is an eternal, unchanging law of the universe we live in.
If you do not understand the truth and what it means, then keep seeking it while spreading what you do understand about it until you know it completely. What could possibly be more important than learning the truth about your own life and death?
If you think you already know, you don't, because the truth is the opposite of what you think. I am not trying to be a jerk or put you down or anything else your mind thinks - I am just being honest and trying to help. Everything on this blog is sharing exactly what I would want shared with me. Whether it is received by others or not, I am talking with myself and realizing what I understand. Even if you are a guru or religious leader or practitioner, even if you have studied under the most renowned spiritual leaders, even if you have been meditating everyday for 50 years, even if you have a PhD and a fortress of intellect, keep seeking truth. Many people think that they already know the truth, but it is a trick of the mind to get them to stop seeking in exchange for comfort in belief and mind certainty. Many people think they do not need to know the truth about life and death, about the big picture, and think they can get in the present through a guru, or through meditation and ritual. This is just a trick of the mind to get people to skip the intellectual, rational truth. There is no "act of surrender" - what you are is already surrendered, you just have to get the mind out of the way, and since you have a rational mind, you need the rational truth to overcome it. The mysteries of life and the mind itself are hidden until YOU put on the mind of truth (learn the truth in words) and use it to overcome the mind of man and the instinctual mind. No one else can do it for you.
The Sufis have a saying that "doubt is the beginning of all wisdom." Without doubt, there is no searching. Without searching, there is no discovery. Without discovery, there is perpetual blindness. Do not get too comfortable and certain in your beliefs and perceptions, no matter how popular and reassuring they are.
Reason is what we have evolved, and we must use it to evolve further. To overcome the mind, you must seek and learn the intellectual/word truth, and then give back to the truth by helping to spread the truth or by supporting those who actively spread it, even if no mind understands what you are doing. The time to just study and try to get into life is over. We must take the next step and become modern prophets and spread the truth that is being revealed. There is NO OTHER WAY. No other way to unite the human race, no other way to turn this world right side up, no other way for you to consciously live in perpetual perfection.
There is no other way.

True Rebellion
What happens during the years between childhood and adulthood leads almost everyone to be buried in deception for the rest of their lives. The teenage years in this world encompass a desperate attempt to find one's place. The world is no longer a playground, but responsibility is not at the level of making a living and providing for a family. The malleable, self-conscious minds are stuck in limbo, looking for answers, looking for somewhere they belong.
The school experience entices some and deters others, and a range of conformity and rebellion becomes apparent. The educated minds impose and the students mingle and clash in a frenzy of new encounters. Who to listen to? Mom and dad try to guide and control with advice and discipline. "Listen to your teachers... do this... don't do that..." The input from the parents, the relatives, the teachers, the coaches, the priests, the government, the media, the peers... it pours in and molds the perspective. A vague idea of what one should be forms and causes conflict. What to believe? What should I strive to be? The older folk must know best, right? "They've been through the ropes. They must know what's going on, so I'll just take their word for it and strive to be like them."
But then there are those who say, "what are these rules, these guidelines, this society?" The rebels. Maybe they didn't get enough discipline and advice, maybe they blocked out the input from the minds of the older folk, maybe it feels unnatural to sit in a classroom for 7 hours a day talking about flashcards and writing between the lines, maybe they don't want to get a career and dress in business suits. Whatever the reason, conformity seems ridiculous, like some kind of joke. So they put down some drugs, put up with ridicule, and look for satisfaction. Maybe they dress differently, listen to music that isn't "mainstream," try to be unique. Maybe they end up pregnant, in a gang, in jail. Even so, most fall back into the mindset of conformity after enduring enough ridicule and punishment. "Stop being so immature. It is time to grow up, get a job, and settle down. You need to be a responsible member of society."
It is rare for a teenager to not go through some form of rebellion. What society and the adults say is right may be perceived as conformity, and what society and the adults say is wrong may be perceived as rebellion, but all of it is just mind perceptions. Whether one perceives themselves and others as conforming or rebelling, it really makes no difference. Both ways lead people around in circles and bury them more and more in deception with each passing day.
What are people really rebelling against? Rebellion results from the subconscious intuition to resist the influence of the mind of society and this world, but it is just too powerful to resist, nearly impossible. Even if you think you are rebelling, you are still getting sucked in like the obvious conformists. Like an infectious disease, the input and reinforcement from other minds pulls you into a false sense of security or into a spiral of doubt, worry and regret. Something like: "As long as I listen to ma and pa, make lots of money and pray to God up in heaven, I'll fit right in this world and go to heaven when I die." Or: "How will I get my next meal... where can I get my fix... what did I do wrong... what will I do next?"
Either way, you are just as dead to the life that is present. The adults don't know what is going on, no matter what they tell you or how much they look and pretend like they are in control. They were and still are just as thrown into it as everyone else. They are so buried in deception and so closed-minded that they don't even realize that they are. Everyone is dead to life, but the older folk are dead and buried in their religious myths, their beliefs, their distorted values, their careers, their finances, their pleasure seeking, their regret and longing, and the other BS that keeps the mind in control. When the youth need guidance and advice, the only thing adults can see to do is pass what they think is true and right to the younger generations, which just perpetuates the ignorance. Adults don't have much of a chance to see the truth and break down the illusions of the mind, and so they wait in blindness until it is too late.
The saying "with age comes wisdom" is not true.
With truth comes wisdom.
The mind is what makes us dead to life, because it separates what we are from the life that is coming to us by blocking, filtering and distorting it. The mind is so powerful and in control of this world that it makes people more dead everyday. Teenagers and young adults are just dead, not buried yet. Young people have a chance to see a radically different explanation of the truth, the truth that is very different from the mindset of material consumption, money, power, religious myths and political solutions that just make the problems worse. The young have the chance to resist and break down the mind's illusions before they get buried by them. Young people need to see that the truth is the only real and permanent solution, the only true rebellion.
To the youth and those who are not yet buried in BS: Can you see that the way adults in power are behaving and running this world is destroying the environment and leading toward unparalleled global catastrophe? Are you sick and tired of the lies and empty promises from your political leaders, clergymen, lawyers and other people in power who will gladly sell and steal your future for their shortsighted benefit and profit? Does it make you angry that people will say things are true without knowing beyond a reasonable doubt that they are true? Do you want to do something about it that will actually make a difference?
Let it be known that there is only one true rebellion, only one way that really makes a difference and doesn't lead people in circles. The truth is the way. The way of truth is literally the exact opposite of whatever the mind thinks is the way. The truth is the only way that doesn't conform to this world. Your help to find, define and spread the truth will literally banish deception and division from this world, and more importantly to you, from the life that you are living. The truth will change your perspective so that you can recognize the illusions the mind creates and live clear of them as much as possible. The truth shows you what life does and where it is, and reveals your true self as a receiver of life, reuniting you with all the life that is always coming to you here and now. The mind is overcome, and you are born again to life, by way of truth. You will still be in this world, but beyond it and all the BS that plagues mankind.
The only true rebellion is working to learn and spread the truth. The first step is knowing that you do not know, seeking truth. Teenagers and young adults are more likely to not be set in beliefs and buried in BS. This is not to say all adults are hopeless or that none care about the truth. Most adults think they already know, so they behave accordingly and are not actively seeking truth. Those who think they are the closest are the farthest away. Beliefs are the opposite of the truth. It doesn't matter what anyone believes; the truth will be the truth, regardless. A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth even if no one believes it. Know that you do not already know, and seek what is rather than what you and others think should be.
Everyone wants to accomplish something, drastic, subtle, or somewhere in between. The aspirations that people work towards just keep them going around in circles, missing the present. There is only one thing you can accomplish that really makes a difference, now and in the long run. It doesn't require getting famous, getting rich, meditating daily, blind faith, overthrowing the government, or anything else except for intent and commitment. "You say you want a revolution, well you know, you better free your mind instead." The way to be free of mind is to know and understand the fundamental, eternal laws of nature, and the nature of the mind which distorts and hides the truth. Seek the truth, and you will find the truth. You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
The school experience entices some and deters others, and a range of conformity and rebellion becomes apparent. The educated minds impose and the students mingle and clash in a frenzy of new encounters. Who to listen to? Mom and dad try to guide and control with advice and discipline. "Listen to your teachers... do this... don't do that..." The input from the parents, the relatives, the teachers, the coaches, the priests, the government, the media, the peers... it pours in and molds the perspective. A vague idea of what one should be forms and causes conflict. What to believe? What should I strive to be? The older folk must know best, right? "They've been through the ropes. They must know what's going on, so I'll just take their word for it and strive to be like them."

Stairway to Heaven
Why is heaven the ultimate destination? You are only ever conscious of the present moment, because it is all that is - it is impossible to be conscious of being unconscious. This shatters the age-old notions of a fantasy land in the clouds, or some destination far off the future. The ultimate destination is the journey, the present.
What is heaven? Heaven is the "here and now" without the mind blocking and filtering it - the ultimate state of being. A world that is a heaven would be a time and place that is not run by primal instincts, where all beings live completely in the present and share it with everyone. Heaven, love reflected in love eternally, 100% in the present, is as good as it gets, literally beyond imagination.
Why is it that the concept of "heaven" has been in the collective mind of mankind for thousands of years? Somehow, we always knew it was possible to be in a world that reflects and lives in perfection. Now, we can see and know the perfection. For the first time in the history of planet earth, we (the human race) are at the metaphorical gates of heaven. The key to the gate is the truth, and the truth is being revealed - the veil is lifting.
The world we live in is not a heaven - it is divided, controlled by animal instincts, and destructive. A world that is a heaven reflects perfection - Oneness. There is a bridge from where we are now in this world to a world that is a heaven, possibly on earth. That bridge is faith in the truth - a collective effort to find, define and spread a universal truth that will unite the human race.
You must trust the truth before you know what it is for it be revealed - seek and you will find.
How does the world we live in now turn into a heaven? The world will change into a heaven when the people in it change from mankind (controlling) into spiritual beings (surrendered), and not until. The world as a whole will undergo a transformation as each of us embarks on the individual transition. As the truth is revealed and spread, more and more will go through the transition. The more that do it, the more that will do it, the easier it will be, and the faster this world will change into a heaven. When all or the vast majority of the human race wakes up, the world will reflect our level of consciousness, and we will use technology to provide the necessities of life to everyone on the planet by working in harmony with nature to extract clean, free energy.
What is the difference between mankind and a spiritual being? A man is a mind that tries to control life. A spiritual being is what we really are- that surrendered receiver of life that is always present. The mind divides our essence as spirit, or nothingness, from the abundant life that is always coming directly to us here and now. Right now, we are living as our false, mortal self (the mind), and we need to be living as our true, immortal self (spirit, consciousness), the opposite. To receive all of life (everything) we must be nothing, and nothing balances everything and manifests it. "Nothing" is the blank, infinite void in which the game of life is played on.
Why must mankind change into spiritual beings? We must change not only because it is the best way to go, but also because the survival of the human race depends on it. The rational mind is a double-edged sword - it got us to where we are now at the gates of heaven, but it has also given mankind the means to destroy itself and make the earth uninhabitable. Thus, it is time for change, not over millions of years, but in the evolutionary blink of an eye - conscious evolution in the bodies we are currently in.
Evolution has been progressing in an exponential pattern because of technology and globalization, and as the human race, we are now at the cusp, the crossroads - conscious evolution, or catastrophic destruction. The world is at a crossroads because we as individuals are at the crossroads - life or death. We can go the way of truth to wake up to true life, or remain dead to life and semi-asleep. As the truth is revealed, the mind has the opportunity to understand that it is not in control of life, and it will if it is around the truth long enough in the right environment for it to be reprogrammed to understand - this is the mind's ultimate purpose and why it has evolved in us, and we cannot skip using the mind to understand the truth in words, intellectually, because it will not get completely out of the way otherwise.
How will the human race change from mankind to spiritual beings? TRUTH = TRANSFORMATION
What is the transition, and why is it necessary? The transition is absolutely necessary and cannot be avoided. This must be understood, because the mind will do everything it can to skip the truth and go directly to life in the present. Some examples include thinking that the transition is too difficult or impossible, that the truth is too complicated, thinking you already know the truth, thinking you have completed the transtion, and countless other ways.
How does one go through the transition? The transition begins when a mind comes in contact with the truth and recognizes it even though it cannot understand all of it - but it rings true. As you spend more time discussing, spreading, and studying the truth, it changes your mind from the deceiver to your best friend, from the devil to an angel. Devils and angels are representations of the mind - devils deceive and lead astray from truth, while angels help and understand the truth - but both are still mind, still blocking out life. The truth changes the devil to an angel.
When the mind completely understands that it has absolutely no control over life and that it cannot hold onto anything, it is your guardian angel, and it will fade behind the spirit when it is not needed, letting you experience life completely in the present. We are to change from man/spirit to spirit/man. The mind doesn't go away - instincts, fear and pain are wired and can only be recognized. The truth changes your perspective and perception. The mind changes into the helpful tool that it can be from the controlling deceiver that dominates this world. The mind of truth recognizes itself and its limits because it understands the truth.
One must have faith in the truth to go through with the transition, and that faith might be all people can have in this lifespan, but it is all that is needed to persist. We must not have blind faith in fantasies, but faith in the real truth, the truth that can be checked, the truth that unites us, makes sense, and creates clarity - our common ground. You must have faith to go through the transition, because it gets you through all the trials and tribulations. Faith in the truth is trusting the truth and its necessity before you know it, and it helps you to spread the truth and study the truth, which causes your mind to change. However, faith is not the goal; faith is a bridge to knowing.
The transition period is like climbing a stairway, a stairway to heaven, and faith is like a safety net that keeps you from falling off of or too far down the narrow staircase that leads to the center, the present - where life is. You can only see the step you are on and the next step - you cannot grasp it all at once. The mind has been programmed by millions of years of evolution to harbor instincts, emotions, and the illusion of control over life. That is why it is a transition. All of that programming was necessary to get us to where we are now, but now the truth is being revealed, and it will break down the walls, shatter the illusions, and lead you up the stairway to heaven. The truth has to sink into your subconscious mind over time and reprogram your perspective and perception of life.
What is the truth? The truth = "that which is." The truth can be known/understood and experienced, but not both at the same time, because to live and experience the truth is without mind. This is represented by "the truth and the life." "The truth" is a complete and accurate understanding of "that which is" and how it works, and "the life" is the living truth. The ultimate truth is life, the present, because there is nothing else. "That which is" is "that which is" no matter what we think - it cannot be denied or changed by our beliefs. This is "the life," and it can only be experienced, because we will never know what life is.
However, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get into the life completely if the mind is not overcome. This is the tricky part, because many people can understand that the truth is the present, and they think they know it all and even look like they are in complete peace and bliss, but they do not. Everyone who thinks they know, from the most popular guru to the successful author to the religious practitioner to the scientist to the layman, is being tricked by the mind. This is because you cannot get past the devil/mind except by climbing the stairway to heaven by way of truth. Those who think they are the closest are the farthest away.
People try everything to get into the present, from asceticism and meditation, to mantras and rituals, to drugs and sex, to sports and fighting, etc. No matter how hard people try to get in the present, even to surrender, it does not work - it never has and it never will. You cannot think your way to the present, and you cannot get all the way there unless you start with the complete truth. The only way to get into life completely, 100%, is to go through the transition by way of truth. This is because the truth is the only way to overcome the mind - the rest is mind taking people around in circles, maintaining the illusion of free will.
As indirect awareness of truth (understanding in mind) sinks in, the living truth (the present) becomes obvious until you know it completely and manifest the present (no mind).
"The truth" in a nutshell is as follows. You are an immortal spirit, that which is always present receiving life. You are not your mind. Everything will balance. The Present is all that is, God/Life/Love.
The only way to have the ability to receive life fully is to overcome the mind. To overcome the mind is to know the truth, to wake up to life. The first thing you realize when you wake up is that there is no control.
The mind is overcome by the understanding of the balance and that it has no control over life whatsoever, no free will. This understanding comes from understanding the balance of the physical universe, from seeing that everything is moving in balance regardless of what you think or do, from internal bodily processes to the turning of planet earth to the spinning of the galaxies...
...just reading the truth in a nutshell is not enough - you need to corner the truth with supporting evidence and knowledge of our true past to see it and live in it. Reading The Present is a good way to do this. At first, reading it will make you think A LOT, but as it sinks in and you go through the transition, climb the stairway, it gets more simple and more obvious until the mind understands that it can best serve the spirit by turning off when it is not needed. Until that happens, there is no way to get into life completely, no matter what you try to do. The progress happens when it happens, the life comes when it comes, after you have spent enough time studying, spreading, and discussing what you can see at each step of the stairway to heaven. Do not think that you need to understand it all at once before you try to talk about it - that is another trick of the mind to keep you from progressing.
There are many ways to stay on track, and the most important one is trying to spread what you already understand. Even if others do not understand what you are talking about, you are talking to yourself, talking about the truth, and it sinks in as you do it. Trying to save others is the way to save yourself, the fastest way to make progress up the stairway to heaven. SPREAD THE TRUTH
Here are some other things that you can do...
Study the truth by reading books with a lot of truth in them, like The Present, for a little while everyday - it works best if you read with someone else and discuss what you read, especially with the opposite sex. Start writing what you think the truth is, and build it like a clay sculpture as you understand more and the truth becomes more obvious. Take some time everyday to just get in touch with your life senses, and to look at yourself in the eyes in the mirror - this helps you be more centered in your body. These are simple and worthwhile ways to spend your time.....
This all comes from my personal experience with the transition. The only source of knowledge is experience. The knowledge that has been revealed to me is being passed along to you. This experience will be written in a more complete, elaborate way when the time comes for me to do that. Until then, this post has the basics...
The transition: Recognizing leads to Seeking leads to Faith leads to Spreading/Studying leads to Understanding leads to Fear and Confusion leads to Knowing leads to Life...
...the final destination is the journey - it never ends. You can never get enough life, and it is always new.
The key to the ultimate happiness and peace and freedom is knowing that there is no "you" that is separate that has any control over life. The truth must go deep into your subconscious until you know it - the stairway to heaven is beckoning, you and the ticket to ride is being revealed...

"The only thing we all have in common is that we play tricks in order to force ourselves to abandon the quest. The counter-measure is to persist in spite of all the barriers and disappointments." - Carlos CastanedaThe ONLY way to get 100% here and now, to heaven, is to go the way of truth and through the transition period. 99.9% is still dead to life. Everything people do, directly or indirectly, is to get in the present, but the truth/transformation is the only way to be completely here now. We MUST go through the rational mind we have evolved to understand the truth, because it will always be in the way, trying to control life if it does not understand.
"What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not the goal."THIS IS A KEY UNDERSTANDING - it is why nothing we have tried throughout history has worked. The transformation could not happen until we got to this point, to the crossroads.
Friedrich Nietzsche

All of that programming was necessary to get us to where we are now, but now the truth is being revealed, and it will break down the walls, shatter the illusions, and lead you up the stairway to heaven. The truth has to sink into your subconscious mind over time and reprogram your perspective and perception of life.
What is the truth? The truth = "that which is." The truth can be known/understood and experienced, but not both at the same time, because to live and experience the truth is without mind. This is represented by "the truth and the life." "The truth" is a complete and accurate understanding of "that which is" and how it works, and "the life" is the living truth. The ultimate truth is life, the present, because there is nothing else. "That which is" is "that which is" no matter what we think - it cannot be denied or changed by our beliefs. This is "the life," and it can only be experienced, because we will never know what life is.
However, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get into the life completely if the mind is not overcome. This is the tricky part, because many people can understand that the truth is the present, and they think they know it all and even look like they are in complete peace and bliss, but they do not. Everyone who thinks they know, from the most popular guru to the successful author to the religious practitioner to the scientist to the layman, is being tricked by the mind. This is because you cannot get past the devil/mind except by climbing the stairway to heaven by way of truth. Those who think they are the closest are the farthest away.
People try everything to get into the present, from asceticism and meditation, to mantras and rituals, to drugs and sex, to sports and fighting, etc. No matter how hard people try to get in the present, even to surrender, it does not work - it never has and it never will. You cannot think your way to the present, and you cannot get all the way there unless you start with the complete truth. The only way to get into life completely, 100%, is to go through the transition by way of truth. This is because the truth is the only way to overcome the mind - the rest is mind taking people around in circles, maintaining the illusion of free will.
As indirect awareness of truth (understanding in mind) sinks in, the living truth (the present) becomes obvious until you know it completely and manifest the present (no mind).
"The truth" in a nutshell is as follows. You are an immortal spirit, that which is always present receiving life. You are not your mind. Everything will balance. The Present is all that is, God/Life/Love.
The only way to have the ability to receive life fully is to overcome the mind. To overcome the mind is to know the truth, to wake up to life. The first thing you realize when you wake up is that there is no control.
The mind is overcome by the understanding of the balance and that it has no control over life whatsoever, no free will. This understanding comes from understanding the balance of the physical universe, from seeing that everything is moving in balance regardless of what you think or do, from internal bodily processes to the turning of planet earth to the spinning of the galaxies...
...just reading the truth in a nutshell is not enough - you need to corner the truth with supporting evidence and knowledge of our true past to see it and live in it. Reading The Present is a good way to do this. At first, reading it will make you think A LOT, but as it sinks in and you go through the transition, climb the stairway, it gets more simple and more obvious until the mind understands that it can best serve the spirit by turning off when it is not needed. Until that happens, there is no way to get into life completely, no matter what you try to do. The progress happens when it happens, the life comes when it comes, after you have spent enough time studying, spreading, and discussing what you can see at each step of the stairway to heaven. Do not think that you need to understand it all at once before you try to talk about it - that is another trick of the mind to keep you from progressing.
There are many ways to stay on track, and the most important one is trying to spread what you already understand. Even if others do not understand what you are talking about, you are talking to yourself, talking about the truth, and it sinks in as you do it. Trying to save others is the way to save yourself, the fastest way to make progress up the stairway to heaven. SPREAD THE TRUTH
Here are some other things that you can do...
Study the truth by reading books with a lot of truth in them, like The Present, for a little while everyday - it works best if you read with someone else and discuss what you read, especially with the opposite sex. Start writing what you think the truth is, and build it like a clay sculpture as you understand more and the truth becomes more obvious. Take some time everyday to just get in touch with your life senses, and to look at yourself in the eyes in the mirror - this helps you be more centered in your body. These are simple and worthwhile ways to spend your time.....
This all comes from my personal experience with the transition. The only source of knowledge is experience. The knowledge that has been revealed to me is being passed along to you. This experience will be written in a more complete, elaborate way when the time comes for me to do that. Until then, this post has the basics...
The transition: Recognizing leads to Seeking leads to Faith leads to Spreading/Studying leads to Understanding leads to Fear and Confusion leads to Knowing leads to Life...
...the final destination is the journey - it never ends. You can never get enough life, and it is always new.
The key to the ultimate happiness and peace and freedom is knowing that there is no "you" that is separate that has any control over life. The truth must go deep into your subconscious until you know it - the stairway to heaven is beckoning, you and the ticket to ride is being revealed...

The Crossroads - Conscious Evolution
The human race and every one of us as an individual is at the crossroads. The cross has long been the symbol of Christianity, but the so-called Christians of the past and at present do not know what the cross really symbolizes. They think that the cross symbolizes Christ overcoming our own sins for us. In actuality, Jesus set an example for us and died for the truth, and the time has come see the truth that he worked to spread and live in it. We must separate the wheat from the chaff...
The fact is that crucifixion was a very common form of torture and execution at the time Jesus Christ lived, and he was executed by the Romans because they saw him as a threat to the ruling power. He was executed in the same way that thousands upon thousands of slaves and criminals were executed. The cross symbolizes something far more important and profound than a savior outside of oneself and other stories that people want to believe in. It symbolizes the painful way that Jesus and many others died. It symbolizes the brutality, violence and torture that has occurred and is occurring in this world. It symbolizes the crossroads that we are at. The cross asks the question...

It symbolizes the painful way that Jesus and many others died. It symbolizes the brutality, violence and torture that has occurred and is occurring in this world. It symbolizes the crossroads that we are at. The cross asks the question...
DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FOR THIS WORLD?
Imagine being in the skin of and looking through the eyes of a hungry velociraptor in a think forest, locked on to the sound and smell of a potential meal nearby. You chase down a very young, lost and frightened brontosaurus, and jump at his neck, clawing and biting until he collapses. The vicious hunt has resulted in a massive feast to satisfy the hunger that burns within. You tear away at the flesh mercilessly and selfishly, as if this were your last meal. Your senses are stimulated by the savory taste of the meat and the smell of fresh blood as you immerse yourself in the pleasure of eating. Suddenly, you are toppled over forcefully, and the searing teeth of a tyrannosaurus rex rip open your abdomen as you shriek with fear. There was no sense to be alert, no chance to react with your head buried in that gourmet feast. You were caught off guard.
Imagine being in the skin of and looking through the eyes of a wildebeest, running on the hot sands of the Serengeti plains with a large herd of other wildebeests. You remain on guard, but the predator threat is somewhat subdued with the safety in numbers as you migrate to find food and water. Your thirsty group arrives at a flowing river. Finally, this aching thirst will be quenched! Unbeknownst to you, a vicious female lioness sits still in the nearby bushes, careful not to alert the group of her presence. You dip your head down into the water, and feel a rush of sensory refreshment, a moment free of care, unaware that this will be your last drink of water. You sense danger as you feel the scurrying vibrations of the footsteps of your group. As you lift your head out of the water to run away, sharp teeth sink into your neck with the forceful bite of the hungry lioness, and you collapse to the ground in a rush of fear, pain, and surprise as you slowly die in the mouth of your predator.
Imagine being in the skin of and looking through the eyes of a recent ancestor, homo erectus, an intermediate transition species from the great apes to the homo sapien. You are the strongest and most fierce of your tribe. As night falls, the sexual urge rages within you, and you drag a female away from her resting place by the fire, and proceed to have your way with her in the middle of a field under the moonlight. This is common practice, and no one would dare try to compete or quarrel with someone as brutal and ruthless as you. You operate on the pleasure principal while propagating the species at the same time. As you reach orgasm, you close your eyes to your surroundings and immerse yourself in the animal pleasure. When you open them, you are face to face with a sabertooth tiger. Intense pleasure instantly shifts to intense fear as the killer cat pounces on you and tears open your chest, proceeding to eat you and your mate alive. You were immersed in sensory pleasure, blind to the dangers lurking around you.
What did you notice about all these situations? Immersed in pleasure, you let down your guard. At present, mankind is chasing pleasure, eating, drinking, and mating like never before, satisfied and contented our gourmet meals, our beer and wine, our promiscuous and careless sexual behavior, blind to the disasters that await as we forcefully walk the path of destruction, raping the land, chasing the horizon, corrupting our children, killing our perceived enemies and hoarding nuclear weapons. The situation could not be more dangerous, and most people don't even realize it, which makes it even more dangerous. People are too blind to know they are blind.
Not only did we evolve from these animals, we were them. What did you think, you just showed up here at the top of the food chain without having to go through the entire evolutionary cycle? Is that fair? Do you not see the beast within yourself, the primal instincts common to all animal life? Don't lie to yourself.
Evolution is no longer just a theory; it is a proven fact beyond a reasonable doubt. When all the evidence supports evolution, and none refutes it, a rational, honest person has to accept it is true. Not only do we have a lot in common physically with all animal life, now there are no missing links with DNA evidence. You are genetically connected to all animal life on this Earth down to the bacteria at the ocean floor, the bottom of the cycle. Human DNA is approximately 98.4% identical to that of chimpanzees. The instinctual beast is within each and everyone of us, no matter how tamed it is by society. We are animals, not separate from the cycle, and we have clawed our way to the top. We eat, digest food, reproduce, sleep, and feel pain like all conscious animal life, including bacteria.
We lived, died, and even went extinct as every predator and every prey to get to where we are now. We had to. We viciously killed and were eaten alive countless times. You can put yourself in the skin of any of the lifeforms in those scenarios above.
The only thing that makes us different than other animals is a mind that can think and reason. We have evolved a rational mind, which makes us mankind. Other animals have more powerful senses of sight, hearing, smell, feeling and/or taste. Our advantage is our indirect awareness of the environment, a mind that can imagine and think abstractly about the past and future. We are like an island in the sea of animal life, and we can see our position on the edge of the animal realm. If we don't use our minds to evaluate and accept what the evidence says and live accordingly, we are not using what makes us different, and we pass up the ultimate opportunity.
Submitting to delusion and ignorance is a primitive defense mechanism. Almost everyone is falling for belief in believing, belief in faith, and the countless myths and fantasies that separate mankind. People don't realize that no matter what you believe in or have faith in, reality does not change. Belief is the opposite of truth. The best story ever told is not even close to the real story.
Nature doesn't waste anything, and mankind wastes everything. In addition to burning up the limited resources on Earth, we are wasting our opportunity to know the true situation, to know the real story, by submitting to faith in myths instead of seeking truth. We are the only animal that knows for certain that it will die as a result of our indirect awareness of life. This knowledge is a curse and a blessing. A curse, because the subconscious and conscious fear of death keeps people from seeking truth; people try to escape death, and they end up escaping and missing life by hiding behind myths and beliefs. This puts us in a deep sleep, dead to life. A blessing, because this knowledge gives us a chance to overcome fear and death to know true life here and now - it gives us a chance to do the things that transcend death while we are alive.
The history of mankind has not shown much of a fundamental difference in behavior compared to the animals we evolved from. Up until the end of the last world war, our world was very violent. Throughout the history of mankind, there has been torture, war, murder, greed, rape and all sorts of other animal behavior. Most of the time, there had not been police to call. You have been tortured and also the torturer, the king and the peasant, the killer and the victim throughout the history of mankind, just as you were the predator and prey throughout the rest of our evolutionary past. The times we live in now are not much different except that society has tamed the beast within. Thus, we are living in a period of relative peace and prosperity.
All throughout our evolutionary past, we had to kill and compete to survive. For the first time in history, we no longer have to kill and compete to survive. For the first time in history, we can know the true situation, we can see what all the evidence is saying, and we can consciously evolve out of the animal cycle, the realm of the beast, that we all evolved from. This time of relative peace and prosperity gives us a chance to consciously evolve past this violent, instinctual behavior and share the world for the benefit of all. This is no easy task, because our brains have been programmed by about 700 million years of evolution to harbor these powerful primal instincts.
The instinctual mind, the beast within, still runs this world, even though the primal instincts are tamed by society for the most part. The beast within most noticeably shows itself through violence and aggression, such as war, gangs, rape, and other criminal activity. You wouldn't have to go back very far in our evolutionary history to a point where we were all acting violent animals. People think nature is so beautiful, because they are not looking at the nature of nature. It is literally kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, predator and prey. Wild animals have to hunt to eat, and most fail and starve to death or are eaten alive by predators. This is obvious when looking and wild animals, but the beast also occupies mankind and runs our world.
Are you not aware of the horrible realities people are experiencing in some places around the world? Have you been too caught up in the pleasures of this world, drinking your beer, traveling to new places, playing games, driving your luxury car, chasing pleasure, enjoying casual sex? There are people being tortured and killed right now. There are many people starving, unable to muster up the energy to move. There are people slowly dying from infections because they do not have shoes on their feet or adequate medical attention. There are many women and children being trafficked and held in captivity, being sold as sex slaves, and being raped. Are you aware? Do you even care? You had better become aware and start to care, because you can and will end up in the unlucky seat someday if you don't see the balance of the universe. What goes around comes around.
There is really not much, if anything, to feel good about or be content with in this world. When you see the truth, you see that this world is suffering because of our ignorance of the balance. You see what we had to go through to get to this point, our true past. It is better to recognize reality than to act happy and content. The only thing to be content and concerned about is the truth and its potential to transform us and this world.
As a collective society, especially in the United States, we operate on the same pleasure principle as the animals we evolved from, but in a more indirect way. We still chase pleasure and avoid pain, but we have morals and societal values to consider, and legal consequences if we break the law. This has dampened the violent and sexual impulses, but the animal instincts of greed and selfishness are reflected in our society of conspicuous consumption and instant gratification, and the rest of the world suffers and aspires to the illusion of our "fulfilling lifestyle." America is destroying the environment almost single-handedly, and if other countries try to live like we do, the environment will not be able to handle it, and mankind will be destroyed. Nature doesn't waste anything, and mankind wastes everything. We have no choice but to be honest and admit that how we live is not fulfilling and change our way of life before it is too late.
We can and must see the true situation and our true past and consciously evolve past our destructive primal instincts, including fear, greed, sex (for solely pleasure), violence, hate and all other animal aggression and violent behavior. We consciously become more than animals by doing the exact opposite of what the beast within wants us to do. We do it because we can, because we have the opportunity. To be able to know our true past and the present truth is to have the ability to consciously evolve out of the animal evolutionary cycle, to rise above it. For the first time in history, we have that ability; thus we are now at the crossroads. We must become more than just smart animals while we have the chance. We must use the rational mind for its ultimate purpose - to learn and spread the truth to overcome the instinctual beast within. If we do not, we pass up an opportunity that is only available to life at the very top of the animal evolutionary cycle, and nature does not waste anything. Use it or lose it.
"Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves." - Lord Byron
Overcoming the beast within is imperative if the human race is to survive. For the first time in history, we have the weaponry capability to wipe out mankind on a global scale. We must recognize the beast within that runs this world and controls us. This is the only true battle to be fought - the battle between truth and deception. We fight not other people, but invisible hosts of evil. The beast is no longer invisible to us; we can see the true situation. We can see our evolutionary past and that we now have a chance to consciously evolve past our violent and selfish animal instincts. This does not mean that we get rid of our instincts, but they will no longer be in control of us. We have no choice but to consciously evolve in a very short period of time. We must overcome millions of years of evolutionary programming while we are not putting all of our energy into survival. This is our window of opportunity, and it may not last very long...
Imagine what would happen if there was a nationwide power outage, and the power could not be restored. This is not unrealistic - a natural disaster could do it, a bombing could do it. In a few days, there would be no clean water, food would become scarce, and communication along with society would break down. The basic necessities of survival would not be available, and the beast would be turned loose. Riots would ensue, looting, killing, raping and robbing, possibly even cannibalism. We would return to the laws of the jungle. The social upheaval and the release of primal instincts would make the problem much worse than you can even imagine. Do not think it cannot happen; it has happened on smaller scales in the past. When the basic necessities of survival are not accessible, the beast will sell its soul to eat. The beast lurks beneath the surface, tamed by society, and if society breaks down, the beast shows its true nature. We must overcome the beast within.
Only the truth can overcome the beast within. The question is, will you acknowledge it or ignore it? Like everything else in the universe, evolution is a balanced cycle. You are currently at the end of the cycle, the top, the crossroads. You currently have a chance to take the next and final step in evolution and leave the animal realm forever. This is the ultimate opportunity, period. What will you do? Where will you go? Because it is a cycle, there are only 3 ways to go when you die physically...
1) Come back as a human.
If you do not understand the truth and what it means, the awareness you achieve in this life will be reborn at the level of a human, and you will have another chance until you see the truth and understand what it means.
2) Leave the animal cycle and go to a heaven.
If you understand the truth, acknowledge and spread it, commit completely to the truth and give back to it for it to transform your mind, and seek to know the living truth (life in the present), you have reached the ultimate level of awareness, and you (the awareness) will never be born in a world run by the beast again. You have evolved past the animal realm, and you leave the cycle. You have consciously evolved past the deceptive mind of man and your primal instincts, and they are no longer in control of you. You (the awareness) will be reborn in a world of pure love (a heaven) and will live eternally in the present, sharing life with others who live completely in the present.
Heaven is a place that is not run by the beast. The world we live in is not a heaven, because it is run by the beast. To get there, you must set your intent on the truth and the life and try to find, define and spread the truth. You must try to bring heaven to earth to evolve past this world.
3) Go to the bottom of the cycle.
If you understand the truth and what it means, and you ignore it, fail to acknowledge it and/or try to avoid it by hiding behind myths and beliefs, you make the greatest possible mistake, and you take the greatest fall. You failed to use your rational mind for its ultimate purpose - to overcome deception and the beast within - even know you knew better. If you act like a violent animal after you know the truth and what it means, you cannot evolve further, and you lose everything. You passed up the ultimate opportunity, and you go to the bottom of the evolutionary cycle. It would not be fair any other way. You will have to go through it all again to get to this point again, where you can know and understand the world you live in. Do you want to go through it all again?
You (consciousness/awareness) are immortal, and life is perfectly balanced, so it cannot be any other way. We can now know the true situation. We can know the truth. It will transform us as individuals for certain and also our world if we acknowledge it and live in it while we have the chance.
You may be saying that none of this can be known for sure, that we can not know for sure that consciously being more than an animal will get us to heaven. However, you can know for sure that it is your only chance. In an infinite universe, it absolutely must be possible for a time and place to exist where there is a world that is not run by the beast, by primal instincts. The only way you can possibly get there is by consciously being more than an animal, by learning and spreading the truth to overcome the beast within. The truth is the way. When you know the truth, you know it for certain, but before that, you just have to go with the odds, because it is the only truth you can know when just starting. Faith may be all you can have in this world if you do not spend enough time with the truth for it to transform you completely. The only faith you need is faith in the value of the truth and faith that there is a time and place where the beast is not in control, a heaven. Do you want to live for this world?
This absolutely does not mean that faith is the goal or that there is a heaven up in the clouds that you will rise to if you simply have faith in faith or believe in a story. You can and must do what you can with this life here and now to try to bring heaven to earth or die trying.
You only have two choices: to act like an animal, or to act like something better. If you want to stay in the animal realm, just act the way everyone else acts, and you will continue to be one in this life for sure, and most likely be one in the next life after you die. If you want to be something different in this life for certain and have the only chance to get to a heaven, do not be an animal this time around. If you are wealthy, you must give away your excess wealth, or you have no chance. You must show your moderation to all men. Don’t live like a violent animal. It is that simple.
Except for what is necessary to live life, do not do what all other animals do if you want to be different from them. Life is always present.
From now on, when you watch the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, the news... put yourself in the skin of the animals you are watching. It will take on a whole new dimension. Try to imagine what they feel - the fear, the pleasure, the pain...
You have been through it all; you were there. Now you are here, and other animals are where they are. You are not better or worse, just at a different point in the animal evolutionary cycle. All animals are the same and live balanced lives; the only difference is that mankind can know the truth and leave the cycle. Will you be an animal, or something more? You have been through it all at least once, and you are currently at the top of the cycle with the opportunity to leave the cycle forever. Which way are you going to go? Those who do not know and remember the true past are doomed to repeat it. You have been the killer, the torturer, the rapist, the victim... you have starved and suffered, feasted and hoarded... you have been eaten alive, tortured, and raped... you have gone back and forth between the extremes for countless lifespans to get to this point. Do you want to go through it again? Do you want to live for this world?
This is your chance to leave the animal realm forever, to center yourself between the extremes.
Envision the image of the cross. One way is horizontal which is a circle, the path that all animals are on, the evolutionary cycle. The the other part of the cross represents the vertical or spiritual way that is not a circle. The goal is to get on the infinite path.
You are now at the meeting place of the two lines, the crossroads. Only by learning and spreading the truth and consciously being more than an animal will you be able to leave the circular path, the realm of the beast, and get on the infinite path to eternal life.
Our ultimate purpose is to know and spread the truth and to consciously evolve out of the animal realm we all evolved from and are in now.
"To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
- Friedrich Nietzsche
You should make it a habit to read this post or watch an episode of shows like Blue Planet or Life everyday so that you do not forget where we came from, what we are part of now, and what we are working to escape out of. If you are not reminded constantly, the collective mind of this world will make you forget, and you will not escape it. It is impossible to escape without constant effort.

A Flow of Thought
.......................flow
woah
i just thought of something intense...
we have no control over our environment
because the perfect balance of the universe determines our environment
the brain responds to and interacts with the environment
according to how it was constructed during development
according to how it is constructed by genes
the genes provide order
they are behind the physical molding of your brain throughout your entire life
genes project how the brain is built and developed after conception and birth
radial glia help the new neurons migrate as they are generated in the developing brain
and millions and millions of neurons are rapidly formed by complex processes in those first few years....
...bombarded by sensory information, a new world...
.....and genes are the order behind the creation of new neurons
they determine and guide the function of each neuron in the entire nervous system
and all throughout life, as you experience, observe, interact
all the cells in your body, in addition to neurons
are dying and being made completely out of your control
it is HAPPENING
cells are SENSING
blood is PUMPING
neurons are FIRING
mind is PERCEIVING
the brain is CHANGING
memory is MANIFESTING
neuronal network is FORMING...
...and this all happens without any intervention from "you"...
...yet you are present, aware, conscious, receiving, experiencing, being
you have no control over all that when you are developing, and you are suddenly reminded that you aren't in control when you die, so why would you have control now?
you have no control
genes must be a major part of the collective unconscious then...
and responsible for the evolution of life, of awareness
they carry information for development
like a blueprint
your physical existence is just guided by your genes perfectly to balance your life, that is why death is the balancing opposite of life
part of the perfection
death is the great equalizer
and the awareness is reborn in a new physical body
perfectly balanced to experience a new world
the awareness you achieve in this life evolves through genes
but genes might just be a part of the collective unconscious
maybe all, but i'm not sure
the collective unconscious is awareness
intelligently evolving toward heaven="truth and life"=the present
"truth and life" is the ultimate awareness
complete indirect (truth) and direct (life) awareness
the progression of awareness is passed on through genes
at least in part
we are the pure awareness
evolving to know and become "truth and life"
and here we are, right now, experiencing a perfectly balanced universe
we are the product of a conscious forming of energy to reflect a living thing, which contains a soul, eternally present
the soul=awareness
and it evolves in the collective unconscious
experience is a sacrifice for the greater soul
awareness contained in a physical body
one interconnected physical body
the universe
on our way home
we have absolutely no control, we are nothing, and also everything without the mind, because the mind blocks and filters the life that is always present
if mind is not in the way, we become everything real, true life
a mirror of life, a reflection of perfection
in knowing the truth, the perfection of life, the mind can rest
and we are free to receive abundant life, eternal life
it is a perfect universe, and we are not separate from it, except by our own deceiving minds that create separation from god=love=life=present, and when we overcome them with truth, we BECOME it... fully conscious and fulfilled....
truth is the way
the universe just happens... perfectly orderly and balanced, and we are the experiencer, the observer, consciousness, awareness
so there is no need for the mind to be thinking all the time and analyzing everything - we are experiencing perfection, and we are not separate from it - we just need to see the balance, see the perfection, see the truth and evolve past the cycle to the center, the present
and watch the wheels go round, and dance to it
with it
in harmony with it
in absolute love for it
a love that never dies
and we become that love
and we live eternally in grace, until the universe collapses in again, big bang in reverse
be we enjoy the wonderful ride, as the balance takes us back to the "beginning" of it all
but there is no "beginning" - no "end"
only the present
an eternal journey, an endless destination
the mind cannot grasp infinity
we can only know it is true and surrender to it
there is no mind, because there is no control
the universe moves in perfect balance
seeing the balance in life is important, because the universe is always moving towards balance, no matter what we do or think
to know the balance
is to know the nature of the universe
is to know the perfection of life
is to be free of the mind
is to be in harmony with all that is, here now
the meaning of life is simply to live
overcome d/evil (the deceiving mind), and live
isn't it wonderful?
even better, it's perfect
and also self-evident
.....embrace oneness
woah

you have no control over all that when you are developing, and you are suddenly reminded that you aren't in control when you die, so why would you have control now?
you have no control
control is a delusion........
......................truth...
genes must be a major part of the collective unconscious then...
and responsible for the evolution of life, of awareness
they carry information for development
like a blueprint
your physical existence is just guided by your genes perfectly to balance your life, that is why death is the balancing opposite of life
part of the perfection
death is the great equalizer
and the awareness is reborn in a new physical body
perfectly balanced to experience a new world
the awareness you achieve in this life evolves through genes
but genes might just be a part of the collective unconscious
maybe all, but i'm not sure
the collective unconscious is awareness
intelligently evolving toward heaven="truth and life"=the present
"truth and life" is the ultimate awareness
complete indirect (truth) and direct (life) awareness
the progression of awareness is passed on through genes
at least in part
we are the pure awareness
evolving to know and become "truth and life"
and here we are, right now, experiencing a perfectly balanced universe
we are the product of a conscious forming of energy to reflect a living thing, which contains a soul, eternally present
the soul=awareness
and it evolves in the collective unconscious
experience is a sacrifice for the greater soul
awareness contained in a physical body
one interconnected physical body
the universe
experiencing the universe
on our way home
home=now
we have absolutely no control, we are nothing, and also everything without the mind, because the mind blocks and filters the life that is always present
if mind is not in the way, we become everything real, true life
a mirror of life, a reflection of perfection
in knowing the truth, the perfection of life, the mind can rest
and we are free to receive abundant life, eternal life
it is a perfect universe, and we are not separate from it, except by our own deceiving minds that create separation from god=love=life=present, and when we overcome them with truth, we BECOME it... fully conscious and fulfilled....
truth is the way
the universe just happens... perfectly orderly and balanced, and we are the experiencer, the observer, consciousness, awareness
so there is no need for the mind to be thinking all the time and analyzing everything - we are experiencing perfection, and we are not separate from it - we just need to see the balance, see the perfection, see the truth and evolve past the cycle to the center, the present
and watch the wheels go round, and dance to it
with it
in harmony with it
in absolute love for it
a love that never dies
and we become that love
and we live eternally in grace, until the universe collapses in again, big bang in reverse
be we enjoy the wonderful ride, as the balance takes us back to the "beginning" of it all
but there is no "beginning" - no "end"
only the present
an eternal journey, an endless destination
infinity
the infinite universe
experiencing itself
the mind cannot grasp infinity
we can only know it is true and surrender to it
there is no mind, because there is no control
the universe moves in perfect balance
seeing the balance in life is important, because the universe is always moving towards balance, no matter what we do or think
to know the balance
is to know the nature of the universe
is to know the perfection of life
is to be free of the mind
is to be in harmony with all that is, here now
the meaning of life is simply to live
overcome d/evil (the deceiving mind), and live
isn't it wonderful?
even better, it's perfect
and also self-evident
.....embrace oneness

Easter Sunday - Resurrection of Jesus Christ
The time has come to stop playing make believe. Jesus Christ did not rise from physical death. The current, and still dogmatic interpretation of the resurrection is incorrect and false, and we can know that for sure. The resurrection story in the Bible is a metaphor for something far more profound than the widely believed fantasy.
Jesus did not rise from physical death - he rose from spiritual death, and we must do the same.
Regardless of whether Jesus actually walked upon this Earth or not, it does not matter. The sayings attributed to him exist, and millions of people believe in the Bible. There is a reason for this - the truth is in the Bible; it has just been misinterpreted and hidden by myths. The time has come to reinterpret the Bible based on the evidence and what we know now that could not be known before this point in history. For the sake of interpretation, let's take for granted that Jesus did walk on this Earth.
The only reference Jesus himself makes in the Bible to the resurrection is this: "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen." - Revelation 1:18
The rest of the references and stories were make up by scholars and uninspired people who couldn't help but misinterpret what Jesus said and meant. This includes past leaders and emperors who wanted to promote a dogma, control people politically, and make a very powerful myth that people had no choice but to accept in the distant past, because it was the only explanation. Read about the Romans or take a Western Civilization class, and you will see what I mean about the corruption and brutality.
There has been a lot of violence and corruption intertwined with the misinterpretations, which in turn has perpetuated myths that distort the true message of Jesus. The myths, the false interpretations, have become so popular that they persist to this day, even in light of what we know today and the evidence we can see. However, these myths have also preserved the truth in the teachings of Jesus and the Bible to the present, and for the first time in history, we can completely separate the truth from the deception.
We have advanced so much, so rapidly, and we are still falling for myths and living in separation and ignorance. It is time to see the true gospel, the real "good news."
Now is the time that we shall stop sinning, missing the mark:
John 10:10
Jesus spoke those words before he died on the cross. "I was blind, but now I can see." "I asleep, but now I am awake." "I was dead, but now I am alive." Jesus was spiritually dead, blind to life, and he was reborn to eternal life (the present). He spoke the truth so that we also may wake up to life. We are to wake up to life, as Jesus did. Everything Jesus said and did was to get us to wake up to the life that is eternally present.
Mankind is in a state of waking sleep, and we are currently dead to life. People think that eternal life is somewhere in the future, at some distant location up in the sky, but it is always present. We must seek the truth to overcome our deceptive minds and rise from sleep to know life here and now.
People spend so much time worshiping the messenger instead of doing what the message says, and they miss the message all together, caught in a delusion of emotional valence toward a graven image of the messenger. It is not the messenger that matters; it is the message. It is not the prophet that is important, but what passed through the prophet that is important.
“Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” (Luke 6:46)
It is imperative that we ditch the outdated, corrupt, and obviously false misinterpretations and beliefs that plague our minds and separate mankind. We need to reinterpret (not rewrite) religious scripture in light of the historical evidence, present knowledge, and discoveries from science and philosophy. There is much wisdom in religious writing, but it is shrouded by misinterpretation and fear of straying from tradition and blind faith, which is perpetuated by anxiety about the religious notion of "eternal hell," off in the future somewhere. This belief is a gripping trap of the mind, manifested from fear of death, that keeps people from seeking truth and checking things for themselves.
People currently look for the truth backwards when it comes to religion. Religious people take for granted that what is in scripture is true, misinterpret it, and try to find it in the real world. When they cannot, they say you need blind faith that it is true, even in the face of hard evidence and much more feasible, rational explanations. It makes them look foolish and hurts the credibility of religious scripture. We just need to do the opposite and take for granted that what is in reality is true, what the evidence says is true, and then look for it in religious scripture. Does that seem so ridiculous? Instead of putting it off as blasphemy, check it out for yourself, and you will see it is true.
We need to "make the two one," as Jesus said, with science and religion. The evidence is just as "sacred," if not more sacred than the Bible, the Koran, the Sutras... etc. The fact is, too many people are involved in religions to just outright ditch them. We need to separate the truth from the deception in everything, including supposedly "infallible" scriptures (a short history lesson makes this notion seem silly). We are not under Roman rule anymore, and we can think for ourselves. We can see what the evidence is saying and check it for ourselves. We need to separate the "wheat from the chaff," as Jesus said, and we can now do that with what we know and the evidence we can see at present. The Bible was written for now - we can now separate the wheat from the chaff.
Read this book to learn the true message of Jesus and to see the truth in the Bible.
Be honest with yourself. Have you ever seen any miracles happen, anything out of the ordinary? Do you know of anyone coming back alive from physical death? Is there any evidence for the supernatural, or is it just our own minds dreaming? Any evidence for a savior outside of ourselves? Stop trying to play make believe, and lay your burden (deceptive mind) down.
We part of the universe, experiencing the universe, and for the first time in history, we can know how it works and how we fit in.
Everyone wants to believe in the supernatural, the extraordinary, because they cannot see the natural, the ordinary as it is. Reality is not as popular as fantasy, because the mind distorts reality and does not allow people to see how amazing and magical life is as it is. Magic is in every moment of life; you just need to realize the truth to see it. There are no miracles. It is all a miracle.

Fear of Death
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - FDR
The fear of death pervades within you, whether you are aware of it or not. This fear is at the core of your subconscious mind, driving your every attempt to chase pleasure and avoid pain, blocking out your ability to perceive the balance of the physical universe, causing you to go around in circles, bouncing back and forth from extreme to extreme. This fear lurks beneath the surface of your identity as you continually and foolishly identify with the energy that constantly changes and flows, causing you to fail to see that you are the consciousness that that is eternally present, receiving the energy. Fear of death spawns the ego, strengthened by comparison and competition, and it feeds off of the fear in a vicious cycle of separation and ignorance. The ego/mind stays in control and persists because it gives you the illusion of permanence, a false sense of security in identity, thoughts, hope and expectations, effectively blocking out the fear of death that perpetuates the illusions. This fear is shuddered from your awareness as you attempt to gain material security, to preserve beliefs, and to acquire information; but information is not wisdom, and wisdom is not intellect.
The fear of death is an important issue, maybe the most important issue, for humanity to bring into conscious awareness in this time of transition. The weather is bent more toward thinking/reflection, which works well with the topic of death. I am seeing first hand that facing the subconscious fear of death is very intense, hence this post. The fear of death is the core of the mind and the reason for the existence and the persistence of the ego. This fear is very uncomfortable and difficult to overcome. The fear is hidden from conscious awareness by attachment to beliefs about the past and future. The fear drives our desires and aspirations, like chasing wealth, power and fame, and it is the reason why myths, fantasies, and religions are more popular than reality. There is nothing the ego fears more than the truth. The fear of death is a subconscious force that separates humanity, perpetuating the illusions of false security and control, keeping people from seeking the truth of life.
Mind = Death | Truth = Life
Life is always present, just as it will be right after you exhale your last breath. What truly matters at that point?
Take a deep breath right now, and exhale it all out. Imagine you will not get another breath. Refrain from inhaling again until you finish reading the next paragraph.
Read this slowly and let it sink in. Does it make a difference how famous and renowned you are? Even the most famous and beloved pass on. Does it matter how much money you made and how many nice toys you had? You aren't taking them with you. Does it matter how many times you had sex, or how big your muscles are, or what you look like? The body ceases to function -the heart slows down - the blood runs cold - the limbs go numb. Does it make a difference if you have bounds of intellectual and scientific knowledge or if you have memorized every word in religious scripture? The illusion of identity and security in knowledge is stripped away as you feel your body slowing down. Confusion, fear and worry ensue, mixed with pain and extreme discomfort as you realize death is upon you. Are there any thoughts, beliefs or theories to hide behind anymore? The brain ceases to function as neurons stop firing due to a lack of oxygen. The mind can no longer block and filter out reality. Here now, face to face with reality, no more "you" - just life as it is. The moment of truth.
Now breathe in, breathe in the air. Don't be afraid to care. If you have any imagination whatsoever, and if you really halted your breathing, that should have scared the shit out of you. Imagine your heart just stopped right now. It happens all the time to people of all ages. Imagine the reality of physical death. Hopefully, you are as scared as you should be. Fear is a good motivator, a force behind evolutionary progress. Now read the above paragraph again and pay attention to your breathing as you read it.
Isn't it amazing to be able to breathe? Realize that you are not in control of how many more breaths you will take - it is not up to you. When you are truly unable to take in another breath of oxygen, you will not be given another one, no matter how much you want it. Be conscious of your breathing, don't take it for granted, see that every breath is a gift of life, and know that there will come a time when "you" will not receive another one, no matter what you think.
If there is one realization you should have gotten out of that uncomfortable barrage, it is that there is no true security in identifying with possessions and hiding behind concepts and beliefs. There is no pride to be had in intellect, fame and fortune. There is no comfort to be had in fantasy and identity. They are all passing illusions of the mind, kept alive by avoiding the fear of death - the fuel for the ego and the reason for its existence and persistence.
Be afraid. The fear is no longer hidden from you - let it enfold you. Do you see how your mind tries to hide it? It is far more important to be aware of the fear of death than to feel good and comfortable in your fantasies, beliefs, and aspirations. Realize how unprepared you are. Don't try to deny it by regurgitating your beliefs and concepts. Death happens in the present, not in the future. You are going to die. Your body will cease to function, and you have nothing to hide behind. Are you ready?
Death is not a comfortable subject, and it never will be, but death is part of life, and it cannot be avoided. We must acknowledge and recognize our fear of death to overcome it. You are going to have to face life as it is sooner or later, whether you want to face reality or not. It is important that your mind is uncomfortable and shaken up as you read this. The mind is death - it perpetuates the waking sleep and deception that enslaves and separates mankind - lost in the fantasies about the past and the future. The mind will pass, as it is an impermanent array of bio-electric activity in your brain, which ceases to function when your body shuts down. The fear of death is of the mind, thus it will also pass. The mind can be overcome, thus the fear of death can be overcome, but you must become aware of it and see how it drives your actions and holds you in bondage.
To overcome the fear of death and prepare for the inevitable experience of that final breath, you must have the ability to accept life in its totality - the good and the bad - to love life completely as it gives itself to you unconditionally. To have the ability to love life completely, to live completely, you must overcome the mind which picks and chooses, wants and avoids, and serves to separate consciousness from life. You must make the two, one. To overcome the mind, you must know the truth of life and surrender to it. How can you love/live completely what you do not know completely?
This is why the truth comes before life.
It is impossible to know what life is, but it is possible to know how it works, what it does, and how you fit into the big picture. We have finally progressed/evolved enough to know and understand the fundamental truth of life. It will transform us and our world. This means that we do not have to guess anymore. Blind faith is no longer necessary, and hope is but a waking dream. The truth is the truth, no matter what you do, say or believe.
To know the truth, you must seek and understand your true nature as a receiver of life, which is not your mind. You must recognize true life, which is always present and coming directly to you from all directions. You must see the nature of the mind and how it filters and distorts true life - you must separate the wheat (what life gives you) from the chaff (what the mind creates). You must learn and accept and the the eternal, unchanging laws of the universe and surrender to them, realizing that you are not in control. The universe will always balance, regardless of what you do, what you say, and what you think. Knowing and seeing the balance is key, because it shows you that you are not control, thus the mind loses control. Knowledge and recognition of the balancing nature of the universe leads directly to the ability to accept life in its totality, regardless of what is happening. Knowing the truth is the only way to overcome the fear of death, to overcome the mind, and to prepare for the experience of physical death. The truth is the way.
Know this to be true: The laws of the physical universe are unchanging, and we can know them and surrender to them. We can know how life works, but not what it is. The universe is perfect, thus there is only one truth as to how it works and how we fit in. It is the truth you can check in reality, the truth that the evidence supports. The truth you can check with the rational mind shows the perfection of life, "that which is." The kind of truth you can check shows you the truth that can be experienced (true life), and vice versa. The truth makes you ready for anything, because it gives you the ability to be fulfilled regardless of what happens to you (true freedom). It gives you the ability to surrender to life and let go of this world.
The only way to prepare for death is to get into life by surrendering to the truth of life. There is nothing the mind is more afraid of than the truth, because the truth is life, and the only way to accept and know the truth and life is to surrender. The mind does not want to lose control, and it will resist giving up control using defense mechanisms including but not limited to jumping from extreme to extreme, wanting more, and even expecting to make progress. The mind will do everything it can to try to get you to skip the truth. We have evolved a rational mind to control and manipulate the environment, and only the truth can show the mind it is not in control and reprogram it to serve.
There is a transition. It takes time for the mind to get used to giving up control, but once it really knows it is the problem, it will help by shutting itself off when it is not needed. It takes 100% commitment to overcome the mind and become the truth. You have no control - the Universe leads the dance of life. Will you submit to the will of the Infinite Universe and dance in harmony with the whole, or will you neglect to seek to know the will of God/Life until you come face to face with Reality as you exhale that final breath? To know completely is to surrender completely.
It is getting into life to overcome death.
How could it be any other way?
I spend so much time spreading the truth and regurgitating philosophical meanderings, intellectual concepts, and words of thinkers and prophets before me, because I am afraid of death. I have to be honest with myself. I can't hide from it anymore. Spreading the truth and writing these words gives me a sense of control over life, but in reality, even these conceptual truths and thoughts that I hold onto and hide behind will not save me from facing reality as it is. The situation could not be more perfect and it does not bother me, because it is necessary to spread the truth to bring heaven (truth and life) to earth. Everything starts with the truth, and I feel driven to spread it. Knowing why I am so driven to spread the truth only serves to motivate me further, because it shows that I am really not in control - that there is a higher power that I must surrender to, a higher power that I am not separate from. It is.
The truth you can check shows that life is always perfect and that you don't have to think all the time, or even very much at all for that matter, and that is how it reprograms your mind and why it can't be skipped. I am seeing that the subconscious and instinctual parts of the mind are revealed as the conscious mind shuts down when it is not needed after the truth sinks in. The key is to recognize the fear as it comes into conscious awareness, and to use it as a cue to pay attention to life. Make fear work for you to make you more aware of life - make the fear your friend, and it will be overcome.
Nothing could be more important than seeking the truth to overcome the mind, to surrender to life, to be reborn to life. The only thing that will matter after you exhale that last breath is whether you had sought, learned and surrendered to the truth of life, because life is eternal, undying and here now. Seek the truth.
Read this post whenever you need to become more aware of your fear of death, and do what needs to be done to overcome death (the mind) while you are still breathing the air. Let it be a reminder to you from the collective unconscious that the path to destruction is wide, and the truth narrow. Make the fear of death work for you by motivating your transition and by using it as a cue to pay attention to the life that is always present - here now - nowhere ...
Fear of death is fear of losing control of what you never had control over.
The fear of death is the fear of life.
The fear of death pervades within you, whether you are aware of it or not. This fear is at the core of your subconscious mind, driving your every attempt to chase pleasure and avoid pain, blocking out your ability to perceive the balance of the physical universe, causing you to go around in circles, bouncing back and forth from extreme to extreme.

Don't try to deny it by regurgitating your beliefs and concepts. Death happens in the present, not in the future. You are going to die. Your body will cease to function, and you have nothing to hide behind. Are you ready?
Death is not a comfortable subject, and it never will be, but death is part of life, and it cannot be avoided. We must acknowledge and recognize our fear of death to overcome it. You are going to have to face life as it is sooner or later, whether you want to face reality or not. It is important that your mind is uncomfortable and shaken up as you read this. The mind is death - it perpetuates the waking sleep and deception that enslaves and separates mankind - lost in the fantasies about the past and the future. The mind will pass, as it is an impermanent array of bio-electric activity in your brain, which ceases to function when your body shuts down. The fear of death is of the mind, thus it will also pass. The mind can be overcome, thus the fear of death can be overcome, but you must become aware of it and see how it drives your actions and holds you in bondage.
To overcome the fear of death and prepare for the inevitable experience of that final breath, you must have the ability to accept life in its totality - the good and the bad - to love life completely as it gives itself to you unconditionally. To have the ability to love life completely, to live completely, you must overcome the mind which picks and chooses, wants and avoids, and serves to separate consciousness from life. You must make the two, one. To overcome the mind, you must know the truth of life and surrender to it. How can you love/live completely what you do not know completely?
This is why the truth comes before life.
It is impossible to know what life is, but it is possible to know how it works, what it does, and how you fit into the big picture. We have finally progressed/evolved enough to know and understand the fundamental truth of life. It will transform us and our world. This means that we do not have to guess anymore. Blind faith is no longer necessary, and hope is but a waking dream. The truth is the truth, no matter what you do, say or believe.
To know the truth, you must seek and understand your true nature as a receiver of life, which is not your mind. You must recognize true life, which is always present and coming directly to you from all directions. You must see the nature of the mind and how it filters and distorts true life - you must separate the wheat (what life gives you) from the chaff (what the mind creates). You must learn and accept and the the eternal, unchanging laws of the universe and surrender to them, realizing that you are not in control. The universe will always balance, regardless of what you do, what you say, and what you think. Knowing and seeing the balance is key, because it shows you that you are not control, thus the mind loses control. Knowledge and recognition of the balancing nature of the universe leads directly to the ability to accept life in its totality, regardless of what is happening. Knowing the truth is the only way to overcome the fear of death, to overcome the mind, and to prepare for the experience of physical death. The truth is the way.
Know this to be true: The laws of the physical universe are unchanging, and we can know them and surrender to them. We can know how life works, but not what it is. The universe is perfect, thus there is only one truth as to how it works and how we fit in. It is the truth you can check in reality, the truth that the evidence supports. The truth you can check with the rational mind shows the perfection of life, "that which is." The kind of truth you can check shows you the truth that can be experienced (true life), and vice versa. The truth makes you ready for anything, because it gives you the ability to be fulfilled regardless of what happens to you (true freedom). It gives you the ability to surrender to life and let go of this world.
The only way to prepare for death is to get into life by surrendering to the truth of life. There is nothing the mind is more afraid of than the truth, because the truth is life, and the only way to accept and know the truth and life is to surrender. The mind does not want to lose control, and it will resist giving up control using defense mechanisms including but not limited to jumping from extreme to extreme, wanting more, and even expecting to make progress. The mind will do everything it can to try to get you to skip the truth. We have evolved a rational mind to control and manipulate the environment, and only the truth can show the mind it is not in control and reprogram it to serve.
There is a transition. It takes time for the mind to get used to giving up control, but once it really knows it is the problem, it will help by shutting itself off when it is not needed. It takes 100% commitment to overcome the mind and become the truth. You have no control - the Universe leads the dance of life. Will you submit to the will of the Infinite Universe and dance in harmony with the whole, or will you neglect to seek to know the will of God/Life until you come face to face with Reality as you exhale that final breath? To know completely is to surrender completely.
It is getting into life to overcome death.
How could it be any other way?
I spend so much time spreading the truth and regurgitating philosophical meanderings, intellectual concepts, and words of thinkers and prophets before me, because I am afraid of death. I have to be honest with myself. I can't hide from it anymore. Spreading the truth and writing these words gives me a sense of control over life, but in reality, even these conceptual truths and thoughts that I hold onto and hide behind will not save me from facing reality as it is. The situation could not be more perfect and it does not bother me, because it is necessary to spread the truth to bring heaven (truth and life) to earth. Everything starts with the truth, and I feel driven to spread it. Knowing why I am so driven to spread the truth only serves to motivate me further, because it shows that I am really not in control - that there is a higher power that I must surrender to, a higher power that I am not separate from. It is.
The truth you can check shows that life is always perfect and that you don't have to think all the time, or even very much at all for that matter, and that is how it reprograms your mind and why it can't be skipped. I am seeing that the subconscious and instinctual parts of the mind are revealed as the conscious mind shuts down when it is not needed after the truth sinks in. The key is to recognize the fear as it comes into conscious awareness, and to use it as a cue to pay attention to life. Make fear work for you to make you more aware of life - make the fear your friend, and it will be overcome.
Nothing could be more important than seeking the truth to overcome the mind, to surrender to life, to be reborn to life. The only thing that will matter after you exhale that last breath is whether you had sought, learned and surrendered to the truth of life, because life is eternal, undying and here now. Seek the truth.
Read this post whenever you need to become more aware of your fear of death, and do what needs to be done to overcome death (the mind) while you are still breathing the air. Let it be a reminder to you from the collective unconscious that the path to destruction is wide, and the truth narrow. Make the fear of death work for you by motivating your transition and by using it as a cue to pay attention to the life that is always present - here now - nowhere ...
Fear of death is fear of losing control of what you never had control over.
The fear of death is the fear of life.
