On Being Here

The Quantum Universal Law of Attraction has it's place and purpose... insofar as we are ordinary sentient beings, living in this relative world we call The Earth, it helps with that little psychic corner of the universe that we cling to.. the I, Me and Mine. At some level we are to acknowledge that this psychic center has a place and purpose, as Dr. Wayne Dyer would say Ego means "Earth Guide Only"...

However, the spiritual possibility, if it exists, must come from a place beyond mind (beyond the activity of thinking) and its mundane functions, from a place that is whole and without limit or fragmentation, a source from which all thought must ultimately originate lest it be false and superficial, often mischievous and destructive. In light of Eckhart Tolle's succinct bottom line "Stillness Speaks"... all other functions are to bow down, humble themselves and listen..

Those who claim that problems are never about the environment, that it is only your vibration which is negative or disturbed, might wanna try applying this theory to the situation in Haiti. Is every individual in Haiti suffering now because they are negative people who brought it on themselves, or can we finally come to admit that the environment means A LOT more than our narcissistic egos want to believe??

Was 9/11 all about people's vibrations, those who were inside the WTC at the time, or did it just happen, like the earthquake in Haiti and all other disasters!? In less drastic situations it is still safe to say that anyone with any sense or sensitivity whatsoever will be at least a little bit influenced by their environment. Only in being vulnerable and sensitive regarding the limits to our megalomania, delusional wishful thinking and narcissism that we can begin to live in peace and harmony with each other and with Nature...

As I see it, pain and fear do have their proper functions in awareness, independent of all human cognition which blows everything out of proportion (as with phobias, and stories we tell ourselves). That man who brags he can walk on hot coals is only proving to the world what a brain dead insensitive clod he is inside. The question is if one can still be confident, with deepest innermost faith in the universe and self, amidst the unsolvable reality of uncertainty...

We are natural beings... any other way to understand ourselves is (at least to me) in error. Perhaps there is element to life or the universe that I am not seeing, that I have a personal blind spot to. If this be the case I am open to any discussion that challenges my perspective, as an earthy and earthly being... one who values unity with nature not the transcendence of it necessarily and most definitely not the conquering of it through macho egocentric means, material, spiritual or otherwise....

The latter is why today we all share this monstrously violent and war stricken world/society, with persistent destruction of the Earth and depletion of natural resources... all to support the few who seek total dominance at the expense of the Earth and the rest of Humanity.
