Eternal Unity

There is no death. If you're aware you exist, then you do.

@Preety_India Cool, thanks!

@Alfonsoo ??

Yes. The Nature of the Absolute.

He is already in jail, too.

@Alfonsoo I read mostly for interest, that I had an awakening wasn't planned. I guess I connected to the spiritual aspect of the bible and it influenced me into awakening based on previous consciousness work. So, I wasn't exactly following religion rules. I search for truth. Wherever it leads me, I go there.

@Vignan Thank you for diverting my attention.

I didn't know that. Perhaps, I'll research into the life of this guru more. Thanks!

I believe it is wise to read them. I had my latest awakening during a read of the book of Ecclesiastes which was written by King Solomon, earlier this year. I'm Jewish and I live in Israel so I have access to many hebrew scriptures including Kabbalistic sources, Torah interpretations and Talmud writings. Greg

@Adodd ? Thanks for reading!

@Adodd Both. It has interpretations as well as the translation. I found it very informative and enjoyable to read. Don't know about that. @BipolarGrowth That's super!

Bhagavad Gita As It Is by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Highly recommended!

@Vercingetorix Thanks, brother!

Greg: So there is no murder in the true sense of things? Spirit Guide: No. If someone takes a gun to your head and pulls the trigger, then I assure you of three things: 1. Though your body will fall away, irreparably damaged, YOU will survive. Your body will cease biological function and will die, but you will not, even for a split second, cease to be. After the bullet tears through your brain you will no longer be able to use that apparatus to filter your perceptions. You will immediately become aware of yourself as a being who is very much alive but now looking down on the ruined body that you used to think of as "yourself". So that will require a small adjustment of your perspective. This change in self-identity will have to be assimilated but you will very much still "exist". The important point to note about this is that the killer will think that you are gone, dead. But this is only a failing of his perceptions because he will no longer perceive you as a living being. But you will know that you are still alive. And this same thing can happen in some of the subtler realms as well. Just as it is possible to destroy someone's physical body here in this 3D realm you inhabit, so it is also possible to dissipate a 4D body. You can even do it at 5D, though it is both rare and difficult to do. Above that, it can no longer be done. But irrespective of where this happens and under whatever circumstances, it is always so that the one who is "killed" survives the experience. You simply lose the use of the vehicle that you were using. 2. If someone else "kills" you, then you will eventually come to understand that this was, on some level, agreed upon by the two of you. It might take a little time, a little processing and possibly even some counselling, but it is assuredly so that you will come to see that this event was the outcome of decisions and choices that you had made. Either you yourself, or you as your Inner Self. Greg: But hold on. What if I am at odds with my Inner Self? What if I don't agree with that choice? I mean surely it isn't right for my Inner Self to negotiate my life away without my consent? Spirit Guide: As long as you still do not understand that you and your Inner Self are really and truly the same being, that might be a valid concern. Indeed “being at odds with your Inner Self” is how you come to experience yourself as the small, separate, disconnected, disempowered being that is the hallmark of 3D consciousness. But if you "died" in such a circumstance then you would be helped. Members of your spirit family would be immediately on hand to guide you and counsel you so that you could come to a full understanding of what had occurred. You would be helped to see the perfection of the moment. Greg: And if you don't come to see it as perfect? If you don't agree to the ending? Spirit Guide: Then you will always have the choice to go back. Greg: Reincarnate, you mean? Spirit Guide: Yes, that is one option. But there is another option, and this brings me to my third point. 3. You always have the right to return to the life that was terminated, no matter how that termination occurred. Greg: The one with my head blown off? Surely not! How would I reanimate a body with my brains splattered across the floor? Spirit Guide: My goodness, you DO have a colourful imagination. You have already understood that time does not exist. It is only in 3D that you are constrained to the illusion that time is linear and absolute. This constraint does not apply to beings of the subtler realms. So we can help you in some interesting ways. After your "death" you will find yourself in a position to either accept that "death" and move on or you will have the option to enter into a counselling phase with more advanced members of your spirit family. At this point you will either accept the "death" and move on or there will be an agreement that you should return. If the latter is the case then there will be further counselling to help you to make better choices next time so that you don't just end up repeating the same scenario over and over. When all these issues are properly dealt with then you are returned to your life at an appropriate moment. What the "appropriate moment" is will vary greatly from case to case. In some instances it would be quite a bit before the previous moment of death so that a new path forward could be found and the death event avoided completely. In some instances you will be returned to the event mere moments before it occurred and, with inspired guidance, you will navigate it differently. And then there are those instances which can be highly inspirational where the being is allowed to experience the "death", remember some part of the counselling and remember the returning. These are often called Near Death Experiences. But each and every case is different and unique and each one is handled with great love and sensitivity by the being's spirit family. Greg: That's pretty amazing stuff. That means no one dies without agreeing to it. Spirit Guide: My dear Greg, We have been telling you for a while now in all kinds of different ways that you are the creator of your own reality. You always get exactly what you create. How then would that statement be true if it ceased to be true as soon as you died? It wouldn't. Greg: You're right. Then it would have had to be, "You get exactly what you create until you die." Spirit Guide: Quite right. And so this is the point: even death does not victimize you. Even when you have died you STILL have options. You still have the right to say, "Hey! I wasn't done with that!" And if, after being properly counselled, you decide that there is indeed unfinished business or a better way to end this then back you go to an appropriate moment before the "termination event", whatever that was. Greg M.

Well said!

@Someone here After death there are stages of continuation. First, you realize you are not your body, then you realize you are not your mind, then you realize you are not even your soul. You merge with the oneness of being, your true essence. From there you continue to The Spirit Realm. Or The Realm of the Absolute. All of this is happening with a profound feeling of peace. This information was communicated to me through inner guidance. Also, there are a lot of books on the subject. Some of which include Home with God by Neale Donald Walsch and Journey of Souls by Dr. Michael Newton.

Equanimity, in my opinion, is the experience of peace. A balanced mind. No pain involved, resistance to it, consciously or unconsciously. Concentration is, indeed, what you focus on. You can train this ability by focusing for longer periods of time on the same thing. Clarity would be a flash of knowing that is lasting. Example: When you see 2 + 2 = ? And you KNOW: A-ha! It is 4. If you compare concentration and clarity then I can say that clarity is the result of continuous concentration. You observe reality, concentrate and then you like: I understand it! I'm clear as to what is happening. Enlightenment dawns.

Liked the Lion analogy. You, indeed, came full circle. Being imaginative coincide with our creative nature.

?

God experienced it all for eternity. God IS all-loving and IS everything. It observes reality and bestows us the freedom to choose anything we want to experience from the entire field. The liking of something is a relative term. The wisest move would be to like what you choose. Good question!

@iboughtleosbooklist Yes! Yes! Yes!

You're doing wonderfully. A bit of this and a bit of that - The Path is not a straight line.

1. The best reality is chosen for us by us. 2. All is possible. This reality can be actual heaven or hell, which is nothing more than a state of mind. Your imagination makes it real. God can imagine AND experience 24/7 pain and suffering, she simply chooses not to. God accustomes Himself to your highest thoughts and the grandest feelings: Joy, Truth, Love. You are that God. Fear is a tool by which you experience the experiences above but fear itself is not a reality but an illusion. A useful illusion. 3. God IS all powerful. He made absolute reality and that is what you experience everyday. Welcome to the forum, Greg

Accepting that All Is One, with all its intricacies. Exploration of the dark side brings you important insights as well as the blissful experiences. Know that you are free to think any thought and follow the truth wherever it leads you. Greg

Allow me to begin by saying that, if you do not already have a regular meditative practice, you should begin one. Meditation is the practice of stilling the mind. The mind is the processing tool of the soul. But if you do not sometimes still this tool you become gravely confused. You are prone to believing that you ARE your mind. And you are not! You are prone to believing that the noise that exists inside your mind is what is real. And it is not. Through meditation you can move beyond mind and come face to face with soul. That which you more truly are. There is so much more that I could say at this juncture about the benefits and importance of meditation, but this conversation is not about that. This is about Visualization. The reason I raise the topic of meditation is that those who are experienced meditators are, right now, ready to begin powerfully visualizing. Those who have never meditated will find this more difficult to do as their minds are noisy and undisciplined. However, irrespective of whether you are a seasoned meditator or brand new to all spiritual practice, you can still begin to visualize your intention into fruition. The difference, really, will be that experienced meditators will find it much easier to maintain a still mind whilst visualizing. A novice will, quite likely, find their mind often wandering counter productively and will have to spend more time and effort to complete each visualization exercise. The other point I wish to make is that “visualization” is actually not the proper term. It should more accurately be called, “full spectrum internal sensory creation”. Except that’s a bit of a clumsy phrase. The reason I make this point is that many people are not visually oriented. If they close their eyes and imagine something, they do not “see” it. They, perhaps, “feel it”. Or simply “know it”. There are many different ways in which different people will explore their imaginations. Do not therefore feel you must “see a movie” in your mind just because this exercise is called “visualization”. Ideally you will “imagine” with ALL of your internal senses. But work with whichever senses you can bring to bear. Now; how to visualise: To begin with, you close your eyes and still your mind. Then you connect with your heart. Find the connection to Source. The place where Love comes from. Inside the very center of your Heart Chakra. Now, holding that connection and returning to it if ever you lose it, explore the following thought by visualizing it in your mind: Visualization #1: Today is the day when your intention has manifest. It is happening. You find yourself saying, “This is it! My intention is right now coming to reality! In the most amazing and magical way, it is all coming true right now!” What are you experiencing? What is going on around you? What event is occurring that causes you to say, “This is it!”? Spend time with that visualization. Redo it a few times until you feel you really have it visualized in all of its richness. Then (and this certainly doesn’t all have to be in the same session or even on the same day) work your way through the following additional visualizations: Visualization #2: It’s been some time since your intention came true. The excitement of it has faded somewhat. This is now your new normal. What is your life like now? How has it changed? What is improved? What have you lost? What is less good? If you cannot find a single thing that you have lost or given up, then this is a warning sign that you are deceiving yourself. Everything comes at a price. Everything. Do not proceed until you have the self awareness to at least look at the down sides. The cost. What you will lose. Look at it. Make sure it is an acceptable exchange for that which you will gain. Only then proceed. Visualization #3: Other’s lives have been impacted too. Start close in: what is the impact on your nearest and dearest? How are their lives affected? What are the positives and the negatives for them? What about others? Colleagues and acquaintances? Distant family and friends? What about random strangers? What about (if you have such a thing) enemies and those you dislike? How are all of these peoples' lives touched in ways both positive and negative by your intention coming to fruition? If you think that it doesn’t matter how your choices impact others, then you have forgotten the most basic premise of how the “magic” of The Steps of the Path works. It works, fundamentally, because All is One. The other is another self. What we put out is what we get back. The fact that this is true is WHY the “magic” works. And so, if you create something that brings you great joy, but at the expense of bringing others great misery, then you will ALSO bring yourself that same misery, as an integral of what you are creating. If you don’t understand this, or don’t believe it to be true, then reality creation is not for you! You will only cause yourself harm with a tool that you are not ready to use. So, after a 360 degree analysis of the impact of your intention's fruition on all others, is this STILL something you wish to create? If it is, you have but one final visualization to do. Visualization #4: In this visualization exercise you cast your imagination forward to the point when you are done with this life. When you are once again a spirit being. When you are reviewing this life that now lies behind you. You are standing with your spirit guides and the masters of light. As you look back upon the moment in which you took your creative powers in hand, in which you set your intention and began to bring it to yourself, as you look back on getting what you created and the moment when you could no longer doubt your own creator nature, what do you, as this wise and expanded being FEEL about your choices? Was this the right choice? Feel your heart connection now. Feel how it feels. Does it feel Right? Good? Divinely inspired? Or does it feel like a mistake? The right step taken in the wrong direction? Or perhaps even the wrong thing to do entirely? Feel. Spend time with your guides and the masters. Take their input. Feel (and look and listen) for their guidance. If, after the fourth visualisation, you are still on track and feeling positive about your intention, then you are ready to continue on to the next step, Emotion. We will be speaking about that next. If, however, you have decided to change your mind and NOT create this intention, then you may begin by finding great gratitude in your heart for the fact that you had the wisdom to cease this creation before it was already in your reality. Find that gratitude and, with that feeling in your heart, simply let go of your intention. Cease to give it thought or energy. And, when you are ready, return to the beginning with the additional learning and wisdom in hand that you might create with a more desirable intention in mind next time. Greg
