It’s a wonderful Life, NOW. Maybe you are
assaulted by fears of the future, and stories of the past that threaten
to repeat,
but now it’s a wonderful life. And it’s about to get much better.
Like Ebenezer Scrooge you are taken by an angel
through the dreams of the past so you can see what you have done and
why, you will see what you have created and how. You will get a chuckle
here and there at the foibles of the human drama, but alas, no guilt is
allowed for everything you have done was for love. Everything you
created was a result of you doing the best you could with what you knew.
And soon you will know other things and new creations will occur. We
will make it a pleasant journey together and you will awaken to a
pristine morning in the clear light of day, like Ebenezer Scrooge in a
Christmas Carol.
Do you remember that story? There was a profound
message in it. But you do not need the guilt that racked poor Ebenezer,
so decide now before we begin this journey that there will be no guilt
or blame for the beautiful child that you are. And when you have seen
the truth you will awaken to a new wonderful life ripe with fullness and
love, possibilities, inspiration, health, vitality, and a deep sense of
being home again.
Try to remember how beautiful you are now. Try to
realize how much I love you. Feel how delightful you are. Just do that
now. And as we spend this time together do it as much as you can. You
will remember this love. Just take moments on our journey to let go of
everything and feel the love. Just exhale whenever you want with a deep
ahhh, and be here in this wonderful moment for a few breaths. Let us
learn something beautiful as we spend this time. Let us begin the
journey.
People do so many things in order to be happy and
none of them work for very long. Permanent happiness seems eternally out
of reach. We try spirituality, meditation, the new job, more education,
more knowledge, the new mate, a new hobby etc. We try moving to
different locations and yet things remain the same or return to the same
old stuff after a brief reprise. One damn thing after another occurs as
if some gremlins are constantly lighting fires in our lives that demand
our attention, and indeed this is true. But gremlins can be cute. They
can be trained and eventually make nice pets.
Nothing you do to be happy will ever work until you
understand yourself as the source of your experiences. Lets look at it
this way, there are fires starting all over your life, problems coming,
one after another, things going wrong, events breakdowns and situations
pissing you off. And dear heart, you spend what little resources of
time, money, and energy you have left on books and classes on how to put
out fires, be a better firefighter, be bigger, stronger, smarter, more
successful, and how to be more loving and yet the fires keep starting.
You do get better at coping with them and putting them out, the trouble
is they seem to be growing in intensity at an ever-alarming rate. This
is natural while you still derive identity from starting them. But
aren’t you a little tired now?
Because the truth is you have created twelve little
gremlins (behind the scenes) who enjoy lighting the fires, and now they
take absolute glee in watching you run around putting them out. And
it’s becoming a full time job with no end in sight. As a matter of
fact it may have become your identity. Yes you are that person with
those problems and those solutions and those wins and losses and
that’s just the way it is. Or is it?
Maybe permanent peace is possible. And perhaps the
only book you need to read or the only education you need should be
called Taming your Gremlins. So lets paper train them, tame them, love
them, teach them to sit, stay, lay down, and roll over.
A gremlin is a self perpetuating story, a little
ball of mental energy. This energy is attractive and magnetic and
creates problems all over the place for you to solve. So these thought
gremlins are really intelligent, they are made out of intelligence. They
are cunning, and they offer you amazing gifts to keep you from
dissuading them from their pursuit of misery. They distract you
constantly with these fires they are starting. As soon as you get close
to discovering them they create a diversion. So don’t be surprised if
you misplace this book lose it or just lose interest in it when it gets
close to uncovering one of your fire starting gremlins. You see the
Gremlins are made out of your own mental substance and often possess you
completely. That is why they are so hard to find they are made of your
own mind stuff. Yes they often become the voice in your head that has
you screw everything up.
So it is a function of your old stories about you
and the world to keep themselves alive. You derive identity from this,
you are your story. You are the poor lonely man or woman who no one
understands, there is of course a huge pay off in this because you get
to feel special. And specialness is our chosen replacement for love. But
more on that later. Just notice it, if I can’t be Love, I might as
well be special, and that implies better than others, separate,
suffering, stories, and this specialness even includes having enemies.
You just gotta have ‘em, can’t live with ‘em can’t live without
‘em.
Anyway, lets take a look at how these gremlins were
born, suffic it to say tey are little clumps of electromagnetic energy,
or thought forms that have grown in power and believability over the
years. If you are older they are bigger and will eventually kill you.
Unfortunately it is a slow demise into old age, sickness, loneliness,
inability, sadness etc.
Here's how they were created. This is a creation
fable that contains large amounts of truth.
Lets start at the beginning. I love you and I’ll
tell you why. You are a beautiful magnificent child of GOD and this is
how you knew yourself before you were born. All hope all possibility,
all love radiance beauty peace power and grace was your natural state
and will be again when you understand a few simple things that try to be
complicated to avoid detection.
You were all love then an idea occurred, lets
incarnate. Wow Earth life could be so great I could love, learn, create
art, family there's always Holidays, people have fun, there are sports,
and games. Birth seems very attractive. So the angel of you, clothes
itself in a fine light of mental matter, the idea. Then emotional
substance adheres to it like a watery mist. These waters are desire, I
desire fun, I desire the play of earth life.
I could be more perhaps than this everything I have
now, or maybe I just desire to lose myself in the Earth Game, what fun,
who knows what will happen. Ahhh so the angel puts on the desire body
over the mental, then it is time to be born, we find the right couple,
and through their sperm and egg begin to create an etheric web of matter
which will become the body. This is the electro magnetic body of Chakras,
and Nadis, and meridians that Chinese doctors know so well and treat
with acupuncture.
So the fetus comes into being to the chosen couple
in accordance with the blueprint designed by your beautiful self to give
you the Optimal Game. You jump in. You might flicker for a while until
you gain control of the three instruments that you have created, mental,
emotional, and etheric or electrical. The etheric is the web or
underlying structure of your physical body so well just say body for
now, later the distinction etheric will be very useful to you as you
decide to change your physical body, heal it, repair it, redefine it.
You don’t know you have an etheric body underlying your physical for a
long time. But when you are a kid and have a fever you begin to suspect
its presence. You can literally feel your energy body at these times and
it’s obviously made of electricity, hence the fire.
So, you flicker in and out of Spirit, beauty, love,
and the soup of oneness. All is cozy. Then there is a break from this
state of swirling patterns and no differentiations. Something happens to
jar the angel loose and thrust this beautiful oneness into “The
World”.
Lets say you are a delightful little being, you do
everything completely with absolute bliss and one pointed intention, you
discover food. Wow how interesting, what is it, color texture smell wow.
I think I’ll smear it all over my face, oh there’s a hole, oh I
think they want me to put it in there. Wow taste. Wow. Senses develop
this could be really fun, but they( the big people) seem to take delight
when I rub it around, I know I do. So the baby is blissed out by the new
discoveries. “Food is cool, playing with it is fun, lets expand the
possibilities”. Then one day when the little angel of you gets a
little bigger he or she gets more creative.
So lets say at three or four the child is just
digging how ketchup feels and in an artistic exploration decides that it
looks really good on the curtains. The child begins their exploration of
art and design, and after a little while a pattern quite pleasing
appears on the curtain. The young artist experiences herself as a
creator. I can do things, I am delightful, I exist I can now define
myself as a creator of other things, I am complete, I am right with this
world, I love this, I love me, I am love, wow, I am in my right place
and content, I have worth. I am, Here and Now, This
all is perfect and getting better all the time.
I can do
I am good
I exist
I am complete
I am right (at one) with this moment
I love this and me
I am in a great space
I have worth
And as you can imagine a big person, one of the
Godlike hovering caretakers, comes in and yells and gets a bit frantic.
They have to do this, it is there nature and part of the training of new
beings. So don’t feel bad if you as a parent have done the same thing.
Its just the curriculum for new people. Learn the rules. But at the same
time it instantly create the break from oneness and your person begins
at this point. The birth of the ego as an awareness of an outside world
is also the birth of eight storytelling Gremlins, known as “Kid Is
Low”. But so low they can’t even spell so I’ll change it to Cid
is Low this is an acronym to help you understand these gremlins
there are eight that spring into existence at that moment of the break
from NOW.
They aren’t gremlins yet they are merely the
first set of distinctions created by this break from bliss. They are the
first possibilities for learning. They are mere receptacles at this time
like empty bags that can now contain other electro magnetic energies or
stories. They spring into existence as mere possibilities. But they
develop. So let me shorten the story. The process outlined below might
have formulated over the next 5 years for the little angel who is
dedicated to learning the rules of the “WORLD”
I can’t do certain things
I am Inadequate to understand what they are
I don’t exist as I once did. And I am not
that important.
I am Incomplete, I need something, I wonder
what it is, maybe it’s the love that has suddenly been withdrawn from
my cute perfect little angel self
Something’s wrong, most definitely and I
think it’s me. Could it be something’s wrong with me? Maybe it’s
being in bliss as a creator, maybe that’s dangerous, maybe it’s
dangerous to be too happy, I’ll have to pay attention to that. When I
am too happy maybe I’ll go out of control again and lose the love.
Loveless is this, the new state, love has
been temporarily eclipsed, how to get it back?
I am outside the bliss, outside the
love, outside the oneness and wonder, I am outside heaven, outside
my mothers love.
I am worthless, if I am not loved. And the
CID IS LOW.
Can’t do
Inadequate
Don’t exist
Incomplete
Something's wrong
Loveless
Outside
Worthless
Welcome to the world of thought, little angel. From
these thought premises you can learn to fit in, behave and develop a
personhood, an ego. And the little angel knows how totally important
this will be in order to survive this new WORLD. It is literally a life
or death situation for this little learner. Learn it or die.
My very life is threatened if I don’t. Without
the love of the giant Godlike beings I will surely die. And of course
this is true. I must get their Approval back.
I must control myself, control my
world, control my behavior, and control the godlike
beings.
And maybe regain Security.
Welcome to your three desires. Control Approval and
Security from the outside world. Your entire life will now be the quest
to regain these things from the outside world that seemed to have taken
them away. Forget the glorious purpose you once had in heaven, things
have changed we must first assure our survival. Then we can get on with
the reason we came, what was that anyway? It is already dimming. What
was I thinking? Why did I come here?
But how will I do this? I only know one thing. I
only have one tool. The way the nig people controlled me was by
withholding love, or maybe its called being unhappy, yes, that’s it
unhappiness was definitely there and anger was a part of it. I’ll try
it so the little angel uses more intelligent temper tantrums to get
stuff, also blaming the brother or sister has a little zing to it and we
have all seen little kids fall down and look around to see if anyone saw
this, if they see you looking they will very often burst into tears,
aha, pain will get me love. No, that’s not quite right. It was subtler
than that. There must be more.
What is this tool that causes fear, unhappiness,
and upset. It really did motivate me to change. It was like a psychic
pain that moved me, made me stop, made me want to change. So for years
we try every flavor of unhappiness to get what we want until we are
advanced in the art of motivating me, controlling me, motivating and
controlling others. By then we don’t even care what the true name is
but we find it. And later, much later maybe just now, we learn it’s
true name. The tool is Guilt. And it causes the pain that causes
motivation, and I am motivated to get the three things most sought
after. The three things that my early life depended on…
Control, Approval, and Security.
Welcome to your new life’s purpose little angel.
Forget those glorious dreams of being an artist, saving the world, being
Love; having fun, creating, you have a new purpose now. Survive! Get the
three at all costs so I don’t die. This becomes the new mission, and I
will use the tool on myself and others because it’s the only thing
that seems to work.
So there are the twelve devices of the psychology
of failure. There are eight false core stories which become the
invisible drivers of our behavior, there are three intense longings that
seem to be a matter of life and death, and there is one tool, emotional
pain which eventually surfaces as guilt, the compressed, condensed
sharpened tool.
By developing a deep understanding of the twelve
(and their opposites) you will move towards a much happier and more
fulfilling life no matter what path you choose to follow. Without
unveiling these gremlins your path will never take you where you want to
go, it will just reinforce the futility of everything. So stay with me.
It may take courage and you may strongly disagree from time to time
because this knowledge will threaten your existing thought system and it
can literally shatter your current world. And by that I mean remove all
the pain from it. Thus shattering your self-image.
But alas, we are addicted to pain and suffering. It
gives me a sense of myself as a hero, an overcomer of obstacles I
create, a success, a martyr literally crucified with special pain, more
pain than you. More special than you…
So hold on it will be a wild ride.
But first, a little more history. When a child
starts using unhappiness to motivate others they know it is a device,
then later at teen levels it no longer works as well, they say “I need
the keys to the car” Dad says no. They get upset, and it doesn’t
work. So they take it up a notch all the devices are running full tilt
now, they actually get unhappy, it is not an act anymore. All the other
kids will be there. And I need their approval or I might die. I can’t
control my father and when I can’t control something I am in danger,
anger comes up to protect the life.
Anger is always associated with the control
issue, it is the fight mechanism. And the fight is a fight for
survival, so never underestimate the intensity of this drive to control,
people die from this one and alas it proves itself true (as these
devices always do) So now the teenager is angry, truly unhappy because
he or she has to get their way and it is a life or death situation as
has been conditioned from babyhood. The device of using unhappiness to
get my way is now not a device it is the truth and the young soul (angel
incarnate) has descended into near complete unconsciousness. The young
soul is growing up. The soul is now completely human. I am unhappy when
I don’t get what I need. And I need the keys to the car, my very
existence as a popular teenager id threatened by this outrage of my
being denied.
Welcome to the ways of the world little spirit. Now
the thought is developed as a reality, all my needs are outside me and I
have to fight, manipulate, plan, and wage an endless war to get these
things that the world withholds from me. Nowhere in the psychology of
the old world was it taught that all the love emanates from you and you
are complete now. You need nothing and love holds all the answers. This
is just too dangerous. Why? Because the love-oneness state of being,
preceded the fall from Mother and Father’s grace. And this is deeply
registered at the core of the belief system. Does it sound like a
familiar story? Like the fall of the angel from heaven maybe? There was
a clue there. Most biblical stories contain these metaphors.
The core of the belief system is “Happiness,
creativity, oneness, and love is very dangerous to me, it created hell
once (unequivocally), and is sure to do it again. So never let up the
suffering lest you become lazy, inefficient, and subject to attack just
like when I was a kid. So I will search for happiness my entire life but
because it is actually too dangerous I will never let myself have it
completely.
Ever wonder why you screw up so many wonderful now
moments with fear, judgment, attack thoughts, worry, guilt, planning for
something else, mental activity of all kinds, just to avoid the bliss of
now, freedom, creativity, love and oneness. Love, freedom, joy, release,
and peace are the most dangerous states to the ego. Indeed the pre
cursors of all my troubles. But there’s good news, your ego can still
be educated, or should I say uneducated cleaned up and freed. The ego
has gotten a bad rap all these years and all it really did was try to
keep you alive. It was a good student. It always tried to do the best it
could for you because behind all the madness that it learned on your
behalf was it’s love for you. It just wanted to learn the ways of the
world (which it did) to take care of you.
So, enough of this nonsense about killing the
ego. The ego still contains all the holograms of you, the beautiful
child that you are and your childhood memories, so lets thank it. Say
“nice try. You did a great job and now lets get happier. Lets remember
why we came here. Lets have some fun. Lets learn a new operating
system”. Of course your ego will resist, after all, we learned the
other system so completely that this new one represents a complete
change in religion; a total reversal. It will seem like a threat. So
we’ll go slow and let the pleasure the joy and the happiness convince
the ego, or old operating system, that everything’s OK.
Remember how much I love you. Remember how
beautiful and delightful you are. Feel how much you love you. And you
have always loved you, that’s why you worked so hard to learn the ways
of the world, you just wanted to do it right. So thank you very much for
caring for me, and now I will care for you.
Yes, dear little ego, you are now a perfect
caterpillar, you have done well, we survived, you were brilliant. And
now you know well how to crawl and feed and live a small fearful life
successfully. So we will no longer train you in crawling, we will do
something else. You will not become a more successful caterpillar those
days are over, you are now entering the cocoon. You will emerge as
something else. You will love it. So let go all the notions of
self-improvement, and all the things you chase after. Let go all the
things you knew about caterpillaring and we will become something else.
It may be very new, don’t worry.
