Forever Expanding Awareness In Liberation

I know how easy it is to feel like there is really very little we can each do to improve the world.
The human situation has degenerated to such a profoundly life-taking level in so many regards — most of which most people are quite unaware of — and there appears to be so little power in the hands of each individual. We life in a world that — in the eyes of those attempting to control and dominate human kind — is here to be owned and utilised as a resource for the benefit of the few in the name of the many. Owning the world, by the way, is exactly what these corporations — and the people behind them — are progressively moving towards. It’s in the motion right now. It’s unfolded right before our closed eyes.

Yet, I ask, in the larger scheme of things, what is it in the human psyche that would create a story such as this? The thought that comes to be immediately is that "we" have collectively disowned the world, disowned our bodies (an extension of the world) and even disowned our Soul and Spirit. Most of the people I meet have very little connection to the Earth, to their body, and to their Soul. I know my connection to the Earth is nothing in comparison to what’s possible. Sometimes I feel the pain of that disconnection. I know there was a time when I was also disconnected from aspects of my body. That too caused me great pain and anguish at times. And God knows how disconnected from my Spirit / Soul I have felt over the millions of years that I’ve potentially been inhabiting this world. God knows all too well just how much anguish that has brought about within my heart and mind and body. God knows how I’ve cried, shouted, ranted, raved, avoided, killed, destroyed, fucked, hated, loved, controlled, reneged control, sought power, given away power, feared, courageously fought, died, murdered, and given life. Such is the kaleidoscope of life in the human Dream. Such is life in-deed.

Yet I know, through and through, that the pain felt through this perceived (yet seemingly so real) separation is what has spurred me on to seek out the truth. To ascertain what is "real" and what is not. To walk that truth. To share it in the best way I know how in any given moment and to seek it in those around me and also within me.

I’ve diverged from the topic at hand yet I know it was a worthy tangent to take. The topic at hand is my question — What is it in the human psyche that would create a story such as this? A story of the planet being owned and controlled by a few souls playing out the role they play.

As a collective we have disowned the Earth. We have disowned the body. We have, for the most part, disowned the Spirit.
Perhaps I should elaborate on a few points.
What does it mean to have disowned the body?

How many people put their health — "wholeness of body, mind and spirit" as defined in the dictionary — into the hands of a medical system that is driven entirely by the dollar? How many people put the wellness of their teeth into the hands of dentists who know little or nothing about what truly causes tooth decay and weak enamel?
How many people every day eat food that does little or nothing for their well-being? Food that is eaten purely to satisfying a learnt and habitual pattern of craving and aversion with regards to taste (craving), blocking out emotions (aversion), and treat animals as abused slaves in order to satisfy their hunger for flesh?
How many people drink alcohol (a toxin) on a regular basis? How many people smoke cigarettes and take pharmaceutical and recreational drugs (both toxins)? The list goes on. This is what I mean about disowning the body.

The title of this article is "Changing the world one moment at a time…".

I shall return to addressing that topic.

What I am attempting to point out is that it is the consciousness or the INTENTION of each individual that is defining the nature of the collective dream or world experience. Hence as much as it may seem that there is nothing we can each do to change that world experience the opposite is in fact true. We are the dreamers of the dream. We co-create and control it all anyway. Our current state of mind / heart / intention is what’s creating a mad-house. Hence as each of as — that’s YOU, me, and everyone else — changes our own state of mind, then the collective picture will change. There is no war to be fought "out there". The only battle is within the human mind and heart. We each fight that battle whether we know it or not, and like it or not.

So — how to change the world one moment at a time?

Judgement.
Be vigilant about getting to the crux of all judgement you carry around inside you.

Ultimately judgement is ANY thought that I hold onto and maintain about something with energy (emotion) behind it.
More tangibly — for the uninitiated — it’s easier to refer to judgement as any life-taking thoughts I hold about someone or something.
These judgements play out in every moment. This is part of the HERE-NOW factor of ones Karma. Karma is not some "thing" that I did in the past which I am being punished or awarded for here in the relative future. No. Karma is right HERE-NOW. It is the immediate result of my current disposition toward life. It is the immediate result of the choices I am making in every HERE-NOW moment. I’ll go more into that some other time. In fact I talk a on it a little in this article from may - CLICK HERE.

So "judgement" — where were we going with that?
I invite you to realise that it is your judgements that are playing a significant role in the world you see and experience around you. It also your judgements toward the people and events around you that give a clear — albeit indirect at times — indication of what it is about YOURSELF and your own humanity that you are yet to forgive. (I’ll write more on that soon and when I do it will be located RIGHT HERE)

So, if you really wish to start blessing, loving, and transforming the world… start with turning all your judgements around. Bring them all back to yourself and dance your way through the story that is behind each one and then forgive and let it dissolve. As the harsh wall of judgement around your heart and mind starts to dissolve I can tell you with certainty that more and more love will flow through your body, mind, and heart. That love is what will transform the world. That love is the most powerful thing in the universe.

Now, please bare in mind that there will still be moment where you struggle. There will still be situations that leave you feeling gutted, defensive or powerless. There will still be things and people to which you will react. That’s all just fine. Try not to judge that about yourself. Breath. Breath some more. And do whatever you can to remind yourself that "I Am infinite Being. This is happening FOR me and not to me. I will move through this for I reside beyond the beyond. I am here having an experiencing perfect for my needs right here and now. I am love,,, whether I can feel it or not, and this too will come to pass". Then when it does come to pass — and it surely will — take time to lovingly reflect back on what you just went through and discover how and why you apparently lost energy or your centre within that particular experience. Hold no judgement toward yourself or others in regards to that situation. If judgement is already there then certainly do not judge yourself for judging. What a blooding confusing mess that will be. Come back to your breath. Smile. Ask God / Spirit / Truth / Christ / Rumplestiltskin / Mickey Mouse — or whatever else works for you — to elevate your heart and mind to a place of truth that you might see what it is you have come to see in this situation.

That’s it for now.

With love and blessings,

Jonathan

PS. Rumplestiltskin and Mickey Mouse just might not cut it when it comes to elevating your vision of the world — so take whatever humour you can find in that, and use something a little more omnipotent to call upon !!

Are you ready to truly Love what is — right now?
What would happen if you did?
What would your life be like if in this moment you were absolutely in a place of love and acceptance with what is — right now ?
I invite you not to just read those questions and continue on through this article. I invite you to pause. Breath. Read them again. Continue to breath and feal.

Within the dream, a vital step necessary to waking up from the dream is to come to a place within oneself where all things are accepted and loved. Now, I’m not talking about soft lofty ideal of love and peace and all things fluffy. To truly come to a place of loving what is — all of it — is hard work. I will add that it’s only hard work because most people are so attached to their ego-mind and it’s vast array of beliefs and thought-forms that keep it dissident to Truth.

I invite you to sit and make a list of all the things that you can think of which you presently do not accept as they are. This can include all aspects of your present worldly situation, financial situation, your health, your body, your self, your upbringing, other people, etcetera. Be honest. Be open. Breath and feal and write.

Once you’ve compiled this list stand up and step back, with intention. Be very ware of your breath and then slowly and increasingly allow your body to shake. Start with the fingers and allow the shaking to move up your arms, into your body, and down your legs, until your whole body is shaking. Remember to breath.

Now that some energy has been freed up, sit back down and take a look at your list.
I invite you to pick out a couple of items on that list that are fairly distant and low-energy for you — meaning that they don’t hold much of a charge in your life right now. Then also pick a couple of items that are really present for you and hold a strong charge.

Once you’ve picked out 4 or so items from this sheet of data, write them on another clear piece of paper. With intention, put the other piece of paper aside and give you attention to this new sheet with this data you’ve recorded there.

Read over these items. Starting with whatever one you feel to.
Breath and come into a place of clear intention — “I intend to engage my awareness with the feelings surround this event / person / situation”. Repeat that a few times to yourself. Once per full breath (inhalation and exhalation).

Now on another piece of paper write down your story as it pertains to this piece of data (person, event, situation). What is your story? What do you tell yourself and hold true in relation to this data?
Write it all down. Be as emotive and expressive as you can.
Here’s an example…
“Joe’s a fucking arse hole. He always treats me like I’m a little kid or something. The wanker. Fuck I hate it when he does that. It’s like he’s my father or something, treating me like a kid and not respecting me and my views on things…” — etcetera. The language you use is over to you. But I invite you to choose words that embody the feelings you have around this data.

Do this for ONE of the 4 or so items you had selected out of the main list.
Once you’ve written everything, stand up. Step back — with intention and awareness — and again go through the shaking process as described above. Let the shaking take over your whole body until your become the shake and cease to be the shaker. Be careful not to throw your head around too much though as you may hurt the muscles there and feel sore the neck day.

Now, again — with intention — sit back down to the story you wrote.
Breath. Feel. Come down into your belly, and read over it.
Read over it as many times as you can. At least 10 times. Twenty times, or even thirty times. Each time engage with the feelings there are expressed in that story. Remain very aware and intentional with your breathing. I’m not talking about the usual piss-arse attempt at breathing most of us are used to — I am referring to full body breathing. Starting the breath in the lower abdomen and filling that entire region up and then letting the upper abdomen expand and then let the chest expand slightly but WITHOUT raising the shoulders and collar bones. That’s what I mean by “breathing”.

Read it out loud in a normal voice. Read it in a whisper. Read it at level of shouting. Read it silently.
Once you’ve read it 10-20 times try reading it with a big smile the whole time. Even laughing if possible — of cause it’s possible, so try it out.

Again, really engage with the feeling behind what you wrote and read the whole story again.
Now ask yourself —
- Can I be sure this story is true?
- Can I be absolutely certain that this story is true?
- How can I be 100% certain that this is true?
Explore that for a while. Breath with intention. Be aware of yourself reading these words and asking these questions. Give your attention to that part of You that is watching you read out these words and asking these questions.

Stay with the feeling of that part of you that is watching you ask these questions. Now read over the story again, holding your attention the whole time on that part of you that can watch you sitting there reading the story. Breath.

Now I invite you to turn your story around.
Let’s say Joe was one of the people in your story. Remove Joe completely. Joe does not exist. He is a role that YOU have created in order to tell this story you’ve just read oh so many times. So take him out of the picture. Now that Joe — or whoever you had there — has been taking out, there is only You left. So now read through the story but put yourself in place of Joe.

“I am a fucking arse hole. I always behave like I am a little kid or something. The wanker. Fuck I hate it when I do that. It’s like my father is there, and I am feeling like a kid and not respecting myself and my views on things…”

Turn the whole story around. Rewrite it this way. Trust your innate intelligence. After reading the original story so many times I am sure you would have found that it started to hold less and less charge for you. In fact, did you find that it started to be quite funny — more like a comedy story as opposed to the horror story it started out as?

Turn it all around and rewrite it. Also, if you feel up to it, look at the words you chose to express yourself. Taking a look at the example I put wrote… Let’s look at “fucking arse hole” and “the wanker”. What’s the story behind these words? What I see here is “fucking” and “arse hole” which are both tied in with the 1st and 2nd chakra. “Wanker” is also tied in with these two chakras. These are fairly degenerate expressions of the energy from these two chakras. “Wanker” also has an element of judgement in it… it is a term used to negatively refer to someone that masturbates — which is only viewed negatively from a place of self-shame and dysfunction around ones sexuality which is an expression of Life-Force or Vital Energy.

Feel into this. Read over your rewritten story, where everything has been turned around and back in on yourself.

Bring your full awareness to the idea that “Everything is happening FOR you and not TO you”. Breath with that for a while.
Take that thought a stage further. “Everything is being created BY ME and not happening to me”.
Feal into that.

Now, what is this rewritten story telling you about yourself? What does it have to say? Actually what do You (Higher Self) have to say to you? If life is nothing but a mirror, what is this story reflecting to you about yourself? If you are a Divine Being by nature, then what is this story telling you about how / where / why you’ve forgotten an aspect of your divinity? — the aspect that’s involved in this story.

It might have taken a few hours to go through this process and you’ve only looked at a couple of “chapters” in your life story listed on those original pieces of paper. You might be thinking that “This is hard work… It’s going to take ages to get through all this”.

What I’d like to suggest that your life-story is like a woven carpet. Once you start to unhitch some of the stitches in that carpet then it will start to unravel. You’ve just got to be willing to be open to “Walking” around on the carpet or shaking it out (breathing, being aware, and feeling). This movement on and with the carpet will cause the holes you’ve made to start unravelling.

Also, rather than mindlessly weaving more patterns and segments into this carpet day-by-day, you can — when you remember — instantly turn around events that take place which bring up energy within you. Hold the intention to stop viewing life from the place of the victim. Turn everything around by removing the “Other” (whatever and whoever that might appear to be).

This process of removing the other and turning events around is something I’ve been exploring and applying for maybe 8 years or more. I’ve found it very powerful. It does require a high degree of self-honesty to make it effective though — and a willingness to let go of old patterns and emotive habits of relating to life.

I am aware that a lady called Byron Katie teaches people a process that is quite similar to this. She also has a book called “Loving what is”. That’s where I borrowed the name for this article. I’m not that familiar with her work — although I know she calls it “The Work” and people I now have found it to be very transformational. Hence I would highly recommend you check out her work and her book. I’ve flicked through the book in a book store some time ago and it looked like something most people would benefit from. Her website is at www.thework.org.

Well, that’s all I feel to say on this topic for now. My browser crashed just as I finished this article so I’ve had to write the last part twice. Gosh I resist that. I find that once I’ve written something I really resist writing it again because of losing it the first time. I’ll get over it. I think it’s actually come out better the second time anyway. Usually the case.

With love and blessings,

Jonathan
