Being Spiritually Appreciative

Written by Mathew Naismith

Our own perception influences us in every way and of course these perceptions of ours are in turn influenced by what ideologies we live by, the culture we live in and the experiences and knowledge we obtain as we go through life. Our perception is influenced by so many things in our life and is hard to pinpoint when we and/or others see ourselves as being negative in some way, one or more of the above mentioned can cause such negative perceptions.  Of course when we are negatively perceiving we are obviously not appreciative, this again is of course is brought about by a number of reasons as mentioned above.

Recently I witnessed a discussion between two people, they both called the creator itself something different to the other person, this was defined by both of these people following a different ideology to each other.  The discussion was noticeably conflictive.  Both these people did not appreciate each other’s belief in a creator but focused more on their set ideology; this of course gave them a different perception to each other which made them unappreciative of each other’s belief in a creator.  Of course the culture we live in and the experiences & knowledge we obtain as we go through life can also influence us in such ways giving us fixated perceptions.

This brings me to my own perceptions and appreciations. I usually refer to the creator as an intelligent universal consciousness or something simular referring that everything is of this consciousness. Because I also live in a Christianised culture I also refer to the creator as God, which of course to certain other ideological belief systems is wrong in some way. We all have our own perception, which at times, can quite unnecessary create conflicts.  

My appreciation however is somewhat different to other people in that I appreciate every moment in existing in my present ignorant state of existence, I appreciate and accept this state of existence more than if I was in a complete state of awareness.  This is of course brought on by the ideologies I follow, the culture I live in and the experiences & knowledge I have obtain in my life. You know the funniest thing is, I’m also appreciating my own aging process, it’s a huge wow to me.  This isn’t just because of friends that have passed on before being able to experience what I am now experiencing, I know they would love to be still alive today experiencing exactly what I am now experiencing.  The real reason is because of the ideologies I follow, the culture I live in and the experiences & knowledge I have obtain in my life.

Do I actually appreciate every moment of my life in every moment of my life?  No but I also appreciate this.  Yes I do think my own perception therefore awareness is different from the norm, it seems strangely positive to the max, to me this is what spiritual awareness and conscious changes are all about.  

How could anyone appreciate being ignorant, this is perceived by many as being negative but I don’t see it as being negative in anyway.   Life can be unkind and has been unkind to many throughout human history but this is brought on by our own perception.  We live in a fragmented consciousness; this is why so many seek ideologies that will defragment this consciousness to one extent or another. This is why many seek out consciousness itself (God) because this consciousness isn’t fragmented; this in turn helps balance out our fragmented existence I believe.  We can’t expect fragmented consciousness to be kind because once you fragment consciousness (God) you naturally create conflicts and ignorance, yes you could look at this fragmented consciousness as being negative but I don’t.  The main reason for this is while living in this ignorant fragmented state of consciousness we are seeing and experiencing consciousness in every way possible, to me there is no better way to become aware.  Our so called sacrifices are well and truly worth it I believe.  

I’m just in awe in what fragmented consciousness has made us aware of but of course to be aware of how fragmented consciousness is making us aware you need to first be aware of how fragmented consciousness is making us more aware.  This of course gives us utter appreciation of the whole of the collective not what we just personally perceive as being positive or worthy.  

God, an Intelligent Consciousness

Written by Mathew Naismith

First of all I would like to state that I’m not actually a religious person, I don’t have anyone particular faith/conviction that I dogmatically follow without reason.  To me religion is supposed to be there to hold us to certain moral values, without these moral values we have utter chaos however this post isn’t about religion, it’s about an intelligent consciousness a lot of people call God.  

Fragmented Consciousness: To morning I entered into a conscious state that allowed me to see it’s impossible to see/meet another person who is exactly on the same level of conscious awareness as me. We cannot meet another person who is precisely aware as ourselves, every person is different within their own awareness, this is what I deem as fragmented consciousness. 

As soon as two exact same aware parts of this fragmented consciousness come together they immediately become one. This is the reason we can't meet consciousness itself (God), we would immediately become one with this intelligent consciousness (God) quite instantly. Actually two exact aware parts of consciousness wouldn’t need to come together to form one, it would just happen even if they were trillions of miles away from each other.  When this happens you are not actually humanly aware of this, it just happens quite automatically.

I believe it’s our awareness that gives us our individuality which is fragmented consciousness or Gods consciousness fragmented. This is why in so many different religions we try to be one with God; it’s becoming one with all which we call oneness. Each fragmented awareness (person) has it’s own vibration which is brought on by our own personal awareness, once you become in tune with the collective awareness you change your vibration to the collective vibration thus you become one with the collective consciousness (God).  

What I feel what is happening  at the moment is the more  fragmented consciousness becomes the more chaos we will have, this is shown by how many people are presently alive on Earth at the moment, each person has their own vibrational signature, their own personal awareness different from everybody else’s. However what keeps this fragmented consciousness from completely going off the Richter scale is being forcefully taking on other people’s ego that are more influential thus, sort of, collectively giving us all a similar vibration to each other. Consumerist materialism & communism is a good example of this & so is believing in the same religion.

The way we are presently trying to collectively become one through these ideologies isn’t quite kosher  for people who are aware that becoming one this way isn’t true, it’s not the kind of oneness you can find through actually becoming one with consciousness itself.  Yes these ideologies are holding off total chaos but only just, we are really always on a knifes edge trying to be at one in this way.

Intelligent Consciousness: A lot of us realise or believe that everything was created by an intelligent consciousness that a lot of us call God.  I had a feeling to find another source while writing this post to explain about this intelligent consciousness that a lot of us call God. The following video was the first source I came across and I thought explained this intelligent consciousness quite well, I didn’t agree with everything said on the video but it still had the content I was looking for.

To me individualism represents our individual awareness which I call fragmented consciousness and the more people are present at any given time, on Earth for example, the more this denotes the fragmentation of consciousness itself or Gods consciousness.  War is a good example of killing off and forcing others to think the same, in other words forcing the collective human race to become more aware at the same level of awareness.  Nazi Germany and Stalinism are prime examples of this and so is consumerist materialism.

These kinds of ideologies that keep a collective race vibrating at a similar rate of awareness to me isn’t very intelligent and I think a lot of us are waking up to that. The problem is these ideologies seem to be always controlled by the controlling factors of the ego and because of this we are always living on a knifes edge.  The intelligent consciousness itself (God) doesn’t have this problem of a controlling ego, once we become close to this consciousness we realise by becoming one with this consciousness we would quite automatically alleviate all traits of the controlling ego. This would in turn rid us of a chaotic existence.

Spiritually aware people aren’t stupid, we know what we are feeling that there is a much better way to be a part of the collective, yes some of us are lead astray at times by egotists but we know within our hearts that there is a far more intelligent consciousness than our individual selves.  Some non-believers could say if everything is Gods consciousness God would have to be of the ego as well. Yes that is true but this intelligent consciousness isn’t stupid enough to allow the ego to be master and all controlling but some of us humans are. I know what intelligence I want to be a part of!!  

Spiritually aware people show a high level of intelligence that human intelligence, on it’s own, has no way in understanding, ever.  One gets it’s intelligence form the controlling ego which is only one tiny part of consciousness itself the other directly from all of what this intelligent consciousness is.  No matter what others say, if you are spiritually aware, you are very intelligent. 

A Collective Reality of Free Thinking

Written by Mathew Naismith

I found the following thread worth sharing; it’s about letting go of beliefs that have programmed us to believe in certain ways, discarding anything else other than what a certain belief tells us to believe. The conclusion is this has nothing to do with thinking for ourselves.  We need to relearn to think for ourselves again which will take away the pain thus lead us to the light.  Robbie also gives us some handy hints in doing just this within his thread.

Story + Belief

Ok, as regulars here know, I am constantly searching within to release pain, and shift my consciousness. Recently I have a couple more things that have made a world of difference for me, and can for you too.

In the past I have posted about changing beliefs in our subconscious minds. I know this can be difficult sometimes as there may already be opposing beliefs within that resist change. They are not being difficult, it's really a math thing (i.e. +2 + -2 = 0 = resistance/cancelling out). So how do you get that +2 to stick? You need to remove the -2.

Two things that helped:

Brian Grasso - FTR Nation (FTR = Free-thinking Renegades) - regarding our "story"

Seth: The Nature of Personal Reality - awesome book!! - regarding our beliefs and much more to be honest (half way through the book. I highly encourage anyone of the path of self discovery/re-membrance to get this book.)

__________________________

Here are techniques I am using with myself to great effect, and can you for you too.

The Story. We tell ourselves a story about ourselves and Life. Problem is we think it's true, and so believe, perceive, create, and receive what we believe in. I did not understand that I could change my story, and that was a difficulty for me, and likely for many others. So, point is, simply start telling yourself a different story. You do not need to struggle and be frustrated, but if you tell yourself that old story....

Example: Old story "I am filled with pain and must heal. I am unhappy, and will be happy eventually. I can't afford.. not enough.. (you get the idea). Look at that story, and wow, there it is made manifest. New story: "All of me is in balance, alignment, and harmony. I send/receive peace, love, joy, harmony, oneness, gratitude, and abundance." See the difference there? Huge difference. So, bottom line, be aware of the story you tell yourself about you and Life. The inner self listens constantly and takes as true what you input. (input = output)

Belief: We believe things are true as we grow up ("learning" from the outside-inward). The thing is none of it is really true, however we do not know this, and take what we are told about ourselves and Life is true. Not so. That is only apparent truth (appears to be, because you believe it you experience it), and not absolute truth (remember, Life is actually an illusion, 99% pure space according to science). I have been going through my belief system, and evaluating every belief that comes up, and determine if this represents who I really am in the Now. Most of these beliefs are not resonant with my true self. How to work with beliefs...

Example: "I'm not good enough. Humans suck, we are terrible and destroying ourselves and our planet. I can't afford it. I am unhealthy, and overweight." What you believe, you receive (note: Believe = Be Living). Here's what I do: "I have decided I do not believe that I am not good enough. I have decided I do not believe that Humans suck, and we are terrible and destroying ourselves and our planet. I have decided I do not believe that I can't afford what I want. I have decided I do not believe that I am unhealthy, and overweight." In this, I am telling my subconscious that the prior beliefs are no longer valid. Now I tell myself things like "in my current story, I am good enough.. humanity is awake, enlightened, and being who we really are, and have created Heaven on Earth.. I can afford to buy anything I want.. I am always in optimal health." See the big difference there?

So, yes, beliefs and the stories we tell ourselves are of the utmost importance, as our subconscious takes it as a truth and manifests it within our 'reality'. There are no limits, or 'reality checks' here, just the willingness to let go of everything you think you know about you and Life, and choose to be a conscious Creator (as opposed to unaware Creator). The only thing in your way (or not) is you.

One more thing: I also tell myself "I am being my 5D self and am fully integrated." It's that time. 2014 for me is an energy and consciousness of "[censored] it... it's that time. the old stuff it all goes. the Phoenix arises." Pardon my French...

Lastly, for the doubters, do you believe "it" because it's true, or is "it" true because you believe it?

Love you!!

G'day Robbiesan

Interesting Mr Robbiesan.

Any ideology that fixates us to a certain way of thinking & believing, & everything from this we fear should be avoided only if we really want change. If we don't want change this kind of recreating the same thing over & over again is fine.

The controlling factors of the ego tell us to fixate ourselves to certain ideologies that make the most sense to us at the time & an ideology that also makes us feel secure & safe. The ego needs to feel secure within it's cage or more precisely a closed box even though it is suffering.

At the moment I've poked holes in the box & all this light is flooding in but my ego feels secure within this box so I'm not venturing out at the moment. I allow the controlling factors of the ego to influence my life at present but that is changing. I love being expressive of the ego but I have become weary of the unnecessary destructiveness of such control.

Socially & culturally we have been brought up to think in a certain way, actually we have been collectively, as a whole, brought up in this way. It’s very hard for some people to break from this behavioural pattern & yes it is learned behaviour which has taken over from thinking for ourselves.

The light from outside this box is collective but it’s now free will thinking for ourselves instead of others thinking for us. We think, because we are now going to think for ourselves outside the box it’s not collective, that couldn’t be further from the truth I feel.

The ego loves collectiveness, it doesn’t want to be left on it’s own especially when it’s suffering & not at the top of the pile, allowing others to think for us feels secure but of course it’s not.  When the light from outside the box comes through to us at first, we see ourselves thinking for ourselves thus we feel we have lost our security, it doesn’t even seem collective but it is.   

This free will thinking from outside the box is collectively about thinking for ourselves, it’s still collective because everyone is now thinking for themselves. It’s just a different way of thinking to what we have been conditioned to accept.

I should state here that I don’t think life’s an illusion however it’s by no way all of who we are.        

Perceiving & Spirituality

Written by Mathew Naismith

What we perceive we generally believe, all ideologies, including religious & science orientated ideologies, are a perception of one kind or another that usually block us from being aware of other perceived ideologies, the question is which one is right over all else? In timelessness there is no right or wrong but in time there is because in time everything seems fragmented & disconnected, time gives us fragmentation of consciousness, this also includes the way we all perceive.

Religion has tried to get us all perceiving in the same way which is less fragmented but by doing so has taken free thinking away, in other words we no longer think for ourselves to one extent or another, the ideology is thinking for us. We could ask here is free thinking fragmented consciousness & is religion of defragging of this consciousness to better connect us to consciousness itself (God)? Well it should be but we have so many religions perceiving in their own way which denotes fragmentation plus the controlling factors of the ego seem to always distort any real reconnection. Science & most other ideologies work in the same way, once we start defragging the fragmentation of consciousness we tend to end up with a controlling ego. When we incorporate the controlling factors of the ego we are once again end up with a consciousness that is fragmented.

Free thinking also seems fragmented but is it? If we all think differently we must all perceive differently thus it would seem we have a more fragmented consciousness than under an ideology of some kind. If we took the controlling factors out of the ego in regards to ideologies & had the same exact ideological thinking process yes collectively it would seem we would have a consciousness that would be far less fragmented however because we have different ideological thinking processes, thinking for themselves, we will always live within a fragmented consciousness. Free thinking, either it be individually or as a group, seems to lead to the fragmentation of consciousness before the controlling factors of the ego come into it.  This statement isn’t exactly true because ideologies are controlling, they think for us instead of thinking for ourselves, this denotes a controlling ego so the controlling factors of the ego are already at play before we try to defrag consciousness. There doesn’t seem to be an answer to proficiently defragment consciousness & bring consciousness back into it’s connected state because of the controlling factors of the ego or is there?  

The controlling factors of the ego seem to only exist in time, once we take the controlling ego out of the equation it would seem it would be very possible to reconnect consciousness back into it’s natural state of connectedness (oneness). I should enumerate here that we are not talking about the ego self but the controlling factor of the ego, there is a huge difference. Time is going to always produce fragmentation like the seemingly fragmentations of all our lives lived; I don’t look at it as many lives lived but one life lived under different perceived existences. This is done by thinking out of time (timelessness) to an extent which gives me very little fragmentations of my whole existence, the only fragmentation there is, is in the perception of different lives lived which can’t be avoided while remotely thinking & being in time.  Yes one can totally be with timelessness & be totally connected with consciousness itself but one would no longer be in time. One should ask oneself here, is it more egotistical to desire to exist in a connected consciousness of timelessness than continue living in a fragmented consciousness of time? What would a controlling ego choose?

The controlling factors of the ego is telling me that I have lived many lives but my ego self is telling me I lived one whole life seemingly separated by various perceived existences. The controlling ego is only of time but the ego self doesn’t have to be of time, it can’t totally exist in timelessness but it can be within the balance of time & timelessness & this is where all the beauty & oneness that we experience come from I believe. The pure essence of experiencing timelessness can be sequential to experiencing quietness within oneself as long as we can quell the controlling factors of the ego.  

Spirituality- Different Concepts Same Source

Written by Mathew Naismith

Different Concepts: I find it quite remarkable how so many people who are spiritually aware & connected to the same source can all get, from this same one source, something different in what the source is or is relaying to us. Everyone who is religious sees this source as a different God which portrays different ideological concepts & anyone who is spiritually aware but not of a religious order or doesn’t have a belief in a God of man but never the less believes in a creative source sees this source as something different as well to others, if it’s the same source why do we see this source differently?  We also have spiritually aware people who don’t believe in a higher creative source from themselves as they are the creative source itself which also induces a different ideological concept again but it still related to the same source, is one ideological concept wrong or right over the other? I don’t believe so.

To a non-believer of spirituality this would obviously seem quite lame or of blind faith which is fair enough because that is the way it looks, you have one source but many different perceived ideas & ideological beliefs coming from this one source so at this point it doesn’t look like it is one source but many so are we getting back to the concept of many Gods again not just one?  The real point of the question is, is there more than one source & how do we know there isn’t? Another point to make is these same people also see light & dark differently for example I’m comfortable in the dark as much as I am in the light & I don’t relate love just to light & not the dark but many others see it quite differently to this, this is in line with the way we perceive the source differently to others & we are like this with many things in life, we perceive the same things differently I believe.

When we look at this we should ask, what is the driving force behind our differences in concepts of the same thing, what are we made of that can sway us in any direction in the way we think & feel?  We could also ask another question here, what makes us think so differently as it’s obvious that it’s our own thoughts that give us all different perceptions of the same thing?   In the previous question I mentioned feel, it is obvious it’s the way we feel differently that give us our different thoughts & concepts.

Emotionally Driven: Emotions are of what we feel, if we see life differently our emotions are going to be different to others as no one’s emotions are ever the same as someone else’s & the same with our experiences so of course we are going to have different ideological concepts of the same thing as it’s all based on our emotions & experiences.  This seems lame because when we are connected we are at peace & feel at one with everything so how could it have anything to do with human emotions?  This is the funny thing, not everyone who becomes spiritually connected feels or experiences the same things just like we do in physical life, what is above is below!!

I’ve been connected at times & realised I could feel what I wanted too not just unconditional love or oneness but anything that one is able to feel in this physical reality & yes even hate. The reason I feel that most of us only feel unconditional love & oneness is it’s in opposition to what we detest in this reality, this reality has emotionally given us a different way to experience consciousness itself which is what we do anyway in this reality, what is above is below!!  So why can I feel what I want in this state of consciousness not just unconditional love or oneness & others can’t or more to the point don’t wish too? I don’t actually detest anything of this reality, I don’t like many things but I detest nothing for it is the way it is for that is what we have chosen to be which is quite obvious especially when we become connected more.  

“Life is like a butterfly until it’s squashed by an ant”….Love Mathew….. The butterfly can’t possibly emotionally perceive this while in flight & neither can we!!
