Guns are Irrelevant

Unfortunately, there have been a rash of shootings lately. Even more unfortunate, these events have precipitated an even greater focus on the controversy of whether citizens should be allowed to own guns. This is particularly unfortunate since guns are not the issue.

The issue, that politicians, certainly, are unwilling to face, is that no amount of regulations will make all people behave all the time. In fact, no law or regulation or policy or impediment or punishment will stop people from doing what they want.

In fact, no force, no threat, no gun, no matter how big or how fast, let alone no amount of guns will compel people to conform to any particular standards.

But, we all know this. It is not a mystery although facing the obvious can oftentimes be very difficult.

The truth is, what the world needs is more love. Love is the universal healer of self, of relationships, of the past and  of the present.

There is nothing more important than love.

Real love has to start with oneself. So even if  no one else has ever loved you, you must start by loving yourself. Start by recognizing that deep down you do love yourself. You may have been programmed to believe that you are unlovable, that you've done things that make you unlovable, or that you don't deserve to be loved.

But you had to get here somehow-- not your body, but your consciousness (no matter that the followers of the religion of science don't recognize consciousness, even while they continue to measure it in a myriad of ways). How did you get here? How did you come to be here? Well, you decided, of course, that you wanted the opportunity to be here (don't fall into the science believers fallacy of randomness, which is complete blatherskite).

The reason you decided to come here was because you love yourself and you wanted to experience more love. You could have had a hand in a decision to start out your experience in a tough situation, possibly even one seemingly devoid of love. But that could only be because you knew that, experiencing such a situation would ultimately make you more loving.

It is really up to you! Not the politicians, not the gun advocates or the gun opposers, or anybody else. It is up to you to decide if you want to follow through with your initial decision to come here to experience more love.

People who love themselves don't go around shooting other people in frustration.

Let's love ourselves.

Let's love one another.

Welcome to the End of the World...

...and the beginning of the new one. This is equally true on upcoming December 21st, 2012 and every day. Every day is the end of the old world and the beginning of the new one. Every day we all have a chance to say and to do and to think and to really feel things completely differently. This is the gift of the Eternal Spirit. This is our birthright.

Scientists agree there was a big bang and we all shot out like electrons from a source of power, a black hole of infinite possibilities. Scientists now agree we have a black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way, as indeed, does every galaxy, of which there are billions and billions. Kinda like the number of electrons in any thing. Everywhere, this side of on and off, and the other. Blink on, blink off, that’s what everything does all the time.

Just a few years ago black holes were just an idea. Now scientists have found them. Used to be the God particle was just an idea. Now scientists have found it.* Everything is exactly what the believers believe it to be. And we are all the believers. We also tend to clump in groups on the freeway and in ideologies. But we all believe in something even if it is in nothing.

Beliefs are just thoughts thought over and over. So we all find exactly what we believe—what  we expect—to be true. This is the perfect, holographic beauty of the universe, of our experience of it. There are as many universes as there are perspectives, though we all share certain aspects (our collective consciousness) which is what we must change. And we can.

We are all one, each part of the whole traveling on the same pipeline, the same electro-magnetic path, either upstream or downstream, depending on whether we’re resisting or going with the flow. One way feels good and the other feels bad. This is our automatic guidance system, which constantly indicates if we need to make an adjustment to achieve our goal: love or not love.

Today is the end of the world for anyone who chooses the path of love for the first time. For that person, even be it you, a new world dawns. A brave new world. There are rules, however:

1. Everyone’s universe is karmically balanced. You get what you give. You have to give joy to get joy. You have to give love to get it. If you weren't taught how to give love consistently because you weren't given love consistently, you have to learn how to do it. Only a willingness is required, and to set the intention.

Teach yourself or buy a book or go to a temple of the Eternal Spirit of your choice, be it a church or a synagogue or a mosque or the woods. But start with yourself. Love yourself. Even if you think nobody else loves you.

The Eternal Spirit loves you. Believe it. Wake up to the dawn of a new world, a new universe, a universe of your own conscious creation but also the real universe of unlimited abundance where the Eternal Spirit is sourced and where you are sourced and where we are all sourced and from where and whence we have never left.

There is no time, no real time, only a temporary perception of it hallucinated holographically to affect an impression. Again, the impression is good or bad, on or off, love or not, depending on each of our choices, what we choose to focus on, to see, to believe, and to co-create.

2. No one ever really gets hurt any more than we can hurt ourselves. We are all one eternally. We are all everything and nothing but flashes of light, infinitely fast, always everywhere and nowhere. 

3. Whether or not you can get hurt, you can still feel bad. This is an intrinsic part of our internal guidance system. It tells us constantly, completely accurately, whether we are currently resisting or flowing at light speed, whether we are in love or not. Unpleasant (or worse) feelings are telling us, in the simplest, most straightforward way possible, “Change your thought, change your direction, change your belief, stop resisting, start going in a positive direction.” This will cause you to feel good.

Conscientiously keep doing this, changing your thought in a positive direction, first, until you feel better, and then, until you feel good until it becomes habitual (usually about 21 days). If you fail, try again. Repeat.

Note: You will keep failing until you succeed. This is exactly how success in any endeavor is achieved. Do not be discouraged. If you are discouraged, think of something that makes you feel better. You will be given unlimited chances, eternally. You decide how much “time” it takes, since time is an illusion.

Winning IS Everything

Few of us have felt the exhilaration of winning a gold medal at the Olympics, or winning the Super Bowl, or the Masters, or something similar. But I can say, for myself, even though never having won any of the above, I have felt an equally sweet thrill of victory. Yes, winning is everything. Nothing feels better. Trying, really, really trying, in an extremely focused way, is absolutely mind blowing. Reality changes. Time and space and dimension all mold and bend and expand to the will and desire of the aspirant. There is nothing like it.

Any kind of activity would likely work. Writing a symphony, making a cake, or a dress. A high school track event, or a piano recital, or acting in a play. Maybe even painting houses, or plumbing, or scrubbing floors. Doing it right, doing it to the best of your ability, that's really the key. And if you keep trying, keep practicing, it will get better and better.

It may be easier, though, to focus on something exciting, or difficult, or complex. To lose oneself in the dance, the dance of life, really, is an amazing sensation. You feel yourself floating, flying, like Superman, changing nature with brute force of will effortlessly, perfectly, beautifully.

It is over the space of time it takes to experience the process of dancing, charging, motionless that victory is achieved. This is the juice of life, the nectar of the gods. Victory over the mind, victory over the body, victory over the other dancing, charging molecules around you. Such a sense of freedom, of light. Such suchness.
