Regarding a Soul's return to God...

 Let us begin with the UP Elevator...

What is the "Third Eye"?  It is an invisible space located between the two eyes that is also the "door" upon which a Soul must "knock" to enter the path back Home to God.  What does "knock" mean?  It means a great deal of meditation, over a number of years [with one's MIND doing its best to prevent one from being successful].

The UP Elevator is a purely mystical process [which means known only to those who have found it], and by use of the UP Elevator...one's Soul [with the assistance of a Perfect Living Master] can engage in the Spiritual Process of Returning Home to God.  What is it that a Perfect Living Master does?  He or she is a Soul, sent by God into the Creation, specifically to "Initiate" Souls that are "ready" to be "Initiated".  And once a Soul is Initiated, that Soul begins a long and difficult journey back Home... being dissuaded by both one's MIND, and one's attachments to the Illusion of the Creation!

You see... the UP Elevator, one's Soul, and the process of discovering the UP Elevator are all invisible to one's brain and all of one's physical senses... except for one's faculty of "Intuition"... which (I believe) is an aspect of one's Consciousness.

REGARDING THE CREATION...!

The Creation was CREATED!  AND REALITY IS INVISIBLE TO US... because it is invisible to our physical senses.  But...Who do you know who believes this?
 

 

 Except for Mystics ?  Even though the Bible tells us that God Created it... most people believe the Creation is the only reality there is.  We think this because the MIND feeds this belief to the physical brain, which believes what the MIND tells it... because the brain is a physical muscle... which is part of the Illusion.

But, what is the Truth?  The Truth is... God Created the Creation for we Souls to explore and experience. And God did such a perfect job that we Souls are completely convinced that the Creation is absolutely Real, and over a very long period of time [thousands of years], we Souls have entirely forgotten who and what we are, and where we came from... and most importantly... how to get back Home!

Are you familiar with the term "INVISIBLE"?
Well, it is impossible for a physical brain to see or discover a Soul that is an aspect of God, and part of the Pure Spiritual Dimension of Existence. So, if you depend upon your brain as the means by which you can return Home... you will remain stuck in this grand Illusion we refer to as the Creation.  Invisible means INVISIBLE!  And one's Soul is invisible to oneself because one's Soul exists in an entirely separate dimension of Existence...which is REAL!

In other words, the entire Spiritual Dimension of Existence does exist, but it exists as Energy that is invisible to the physical, material dimension... which was "created," and is therefore not  REAL, in an Absolute sense.

 But... who is likely to believe what I am sharing in this blog?  Not many people is the answer. 
And that is the reason the Illusion continues...the vast majority of people on Earth are convinced that what they "think" is real... is real because it is what they can physically see, taste, and touch.

I am pleased to share the above... and I believed the Creation to be real myself...but now I've been fortunate enough to have found a Perfect Living Master who has helped me discover [over many years] a means of awakening to a higher Truth.

WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IN LIFE ?

 The most important thing in life is to "discover one's Self" [Soul, Consciousness,  Truth, or NSgy]... since all these terms refer to the same thing... which we simply refer to as "Spirituality, or God".

Alas, the accomplishment of this task of discovering oneself is impossible to do without help from what we refer to as "God" in the West.  Another name for God is "Shabd," from Hindu, which means "Word," "Logos, Holy Spirit, Sound Current,"  etc.  It has so many names because "it"(that is, Pure Spiritual Energy), which  is invisible to the brain of Man.

Or...  what we in the West refer to as God, which refers to the Energy of Spirituality.  In the East [where the Energy of Spirituality has many names], one of those names is  "Shabd" which means sound.  And an awakening to Shabd  is provided by a Perfect Living Master, sent by God into the Creation specifically to help we Souls discover that which we are...  in TRUTH! Which is INVISIBLE to Man and usually refers to one's Soul, which the following sketch illustrates as being invisible to those parts of oneself of which we are aware. 

Remember this sketch?  It illustrates the four dimensions of Man. And the only part we are intellectually aware of is #1, the physical dimension of Man.  The part that contains one's Soul is #4, the Pure Spiritual Realm.
 

What we are not capable of perceiving with our brain and physical senses are parts of ourselves that are not physical, nor tangible.  This Creation is an  "Illusion"  Created by God for we Souls to explore and experience... the nature of which is so realistic that we have completely forgotten who, what, and why we are in the Creation?  And, the only part of ourselves capable of discovering what is otherwise invisible to us is a part of the CONSCIOUSNESS of one's Soul... we refer to as "Intuition"...  which we in the West pretty much ignore. 

The problem we have is that REALITY, such as TRUTH, does not exist in the Creation itself, but the Creation is entirely sustained by TRUTH, or the Pure Spiritual Energy we refer to as God.  But the only part of oneself that can perceive this division "within" Man... is one's faculty of Intuition, which allows one to tap into one's Consciousness [if one's level of Consciousness is developed sufficiently to enable one to do this]?

Our word for this is "Enlightened," or "Enlightenment".  And most Enlightened people do not realize that their level of Consciousness is such that [with the proper help] they can tap into the faculty of "Intuition" hidden "Within" themselves, and by "proper" direction... from a Perfect Living Master... they would be able to begin to work on "Going Within" themselves to awaken to a higher level of Consciousness.

Is this interesting to you?  Perhaps you are more Enlightened than you realize?

What is "Neutral Spiritual Energy" ?

Neutral Spiritual Energy [I believe] is the Energy of God.  I refer to this Energy by the symbol "NSgy". "NSgy"?  Neutral Spiritual Energy.  Why "Neutral"?  Because Neutral is neither good nor bad.  The term Neutral, in other words, is an Absolute! That is, it is not a duality in that it never changes, and it is not composed of anything other than NSgy. 

By contrast, Man... that is the MIND of Man... has both good and evil tendencies.  And I believe the reason for this is that to exist in the Creation, a thing must consist of a duality of both good and bad.  Remember, this Creation was Created!  And it was Created from NSgy... How was this done?  I believe what we "think of as reality" is, in actuality, a series of energy realms, each having a duality which is what keeps these realms in existence. That is, a specific range of vibrations whose oppositional structure keeps each realm in operation and  opposed to one another, thus keeping each realm separate and individual.  

And in this physical, tangible realm, we experience material phenomena because the vibrations of this realm are the same vibrations as that of our physical bodies....  So, to try and use one's brain to "think" about the other realms of Existence,  we are confined to our physical brain.., which is a very complex muscle located in the skull of each life-form on Earth, but it is also composed of the same vibrational energy as the material realm itself.  In other words, one's brain is confined to the same energy as all other things on Earth.  What one's brain "thinks" it can do is to "know" things because it can define things using words:  And it "thinks" [assumes that] the definitions of words are the "same as" experiencing what the words are pointing to, or stand for.  I refer to this as "Delusional Thinking," or D-Think.  And since each person does this... this is also what our education does!  It substitutes words for things.  And our MINDs convince us that if we know the words, we know the things.

In other words, none of us can "think" about the Soul, because the Soul is composed of NSgy, and the MIND [which is attached to each Soul] is also composed of a vibration other than physical.

This sketch was done to try and illustrate the different energy realms in the Creation. #1 is the physical realm. #2 is the Astral realm, which is the Lower MIND, and #3 is the Causal realm, which is  the Higher MIND.  #4 is NSgy, or the Soul and it is entirely NSgy.  This is what Mystics refer to when they say that God is "within" Man.  Of course God, or NSgy, is within Man.  It is the only thing that is Real in Man.

We have the Creation [which was Created], and  this is the energy of our physical bodies, and we have NSgy, which is the only part of Man that is Real [in an absolute sense] .  Reality vs Creation.

THE SECRET OF KARMA... & CONSCIOUSNESS

 Diagram of the Consciousness [or NSgy] of Man... 

 

NSgy is my symbol for Neutral Spiritual Energy (or God) Within Man. And NSgy is what we refer to as Consciousness. And the entire Creation is sustained by God.  AND... every action one takes in the Creation requires one's Soul to use its NSgy [that is, one's MIND uses the NSgy of one's Soul to "create" that action - which we call "Karma"].  This, of course, reduces the amount of NSgy or Consciousness of one's Soul... by the amount of Karma required to create and sustain an act of Karma.  AND... the Only Way to get one's NSgy back is for one's Soul to emotionally [which means use of one's MIND]... to take complete Responsibility for a bit of Karma that one must face in life.   One's Soul created that bit of Karma in the first place [or rather one's MIND used the NSgy of the Soul to create and sustain the Karma] and that bit of Karma will continue to return to oneself ... lifetime after lifetime, until one's Soul can FORCE ONE'S MIND TO take full responsibility for, and to completely forgive the person [or people] who is/are RETURNING one's Karma back to oneself to experience!

Is this a surprise to you?  How much Karma have you acquired over the many lifetimes you have been in the Creation?  All of it must be converted into NSgy before one can go back HOME!  Even if you have no idea that it is being held by your MIND.  This is the number one "secret" we in the West are not taught.  Even though this is also what keeps all Souls stuck in the Creation.

That's what the Mystic means when he or she says that a person must become as a tiny child.  That is, a person's Soul must become like that of a new-born child...without the burden of the Karma held by one's MIND..

Regarding The Major Problem of Education which is...

The limitation of the human brain and thinking.   Which is sometimes called "Intellectualism".

Although Man is capable of a great many things, one thing that Man cannot do is to use the brain to perceive the energy of the MIND, or that of the Soul. And the reason for this is suggested in my sketch:

Number 1 is the physical body within which is one's brain within the skull; and we use this brain  to think with. And much of our thinking are thoughts fed to the brain by one's MIND.

This is a picture of the brain, which is a physical muscle located in the Skull.  Man has searched the brain for ages trying to figure out how it works?  The problem is, the brain is limited to that which is either physical, or are thoughts fed to it by one's MIND.  So, it is unable to perceive what makes it work... which is the MIND, which is not physical.

Since all human beings operate the same regarding the brain and MIND [if both are in good working order?] the only way we can become aware of our MIND is by use of "Intuition"... which is a faculty of one's Soul.  But in the West, we are so focused on the brain and thinking... and are taught to virtually ignore our faculty of Intuition [because we cannot "think" about it...] that,  in the West at least, we hardly  use of our Intuition like we should.  But more on that in the next blog.

A MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM A GREAT MYSTIC:

 "We should be more concerned with that truth which will liberate us from our sins, from birth and death, instead of unnecessarily wasting our time by giving importance to the coverings of rituals and ceremonies. Those things only mislead and misguide us by taking our attention away from the very purpose of life on this earth.  As you know, that purpose is to reap the harvest which is ready for us and thus return to the Father on the path which he himself  has put within us."

This quote is from a book  written by Maharaj Charan Singh, entitled "Light On Saint John".

This statement refers to "the path " that "the Father" [God],  has put "within us". And the term "within" stands for  a "secret" Known by Saints and Mystics that cannot be explained in any language known to Man.   And what I just wrote is the reason so few people on Earth realize what a Perfect Living Master is!  And what do I mean ?

In my first blog under the heading

... I mentioned the phrase Neutral Spiritual Energy, which I have labeled "NSgy".  Well, the Spiritual Realm "within" Man is entirely invisible to the brain and physical senses of Man because it consists of NSgy... which is Pure Spiritual Energy and it is ONLY visible to that which is also NSgy.  And that means one's Soul.

So, a Great Master, or Saint, is sent into the Creation by God to help those Souls who are "ready" to return Home to God... but, even these Great Souls cannot convey NSgy to the people of Earth.   Simply because only a Pure Soul can perceive TRUTH.  And, NSgy is Pure Neutral Spiritual Energy, which is TRUTH.  And thus, the great Masters and Saints must speak to us, but our various languages have no word-equivalent terms for NSgy.

Thus... the "Path" that Saints and Mystics point to remains invisible to all but those Souls that have followed the "path" for a period of time sufficient for them to awaken from "within" themselves sufficient Consciousness [that is... NSgy]...to begin to awaken to elements of NSgy that enables them to make progress on "the Path"... all Saints and Mystics can only verbally point to.  It is we human beings that must do the work of engaging in a special kind of meditation... over a period of time [sometimes years]!

Well, there are a couple of crucial factors at play other than simply meditation.  One thing the Saint or Perfect Living Master does help with  is encouraging we otherwise helpless Souls to acquire Love, Desire, and great longing for Truth.  And the Saints do this by being the NSgy they represent.  The physical body of the Saint is not who the Saint is.  It is merely a body in which the Saint can communicate with we human beings.  It is the purity of the Soul of these humble servants of God that attract those Souls they have come to help.

In my copy of Light on Saint John, it says that to order books on the internet, to visit: www.rssb.org.

PSYCH-EDUCATION.COM... https://1brotherjamesbioandkarma.blogspot.com and away we go!

 How do we improve education?  We begin by accepting who and what Man is!  And, we must also learn how to accept a bit of humility!  To test your level of humility... answer this question?

1.  What is the Purpose of Life?   I mean, we all know that a person is born, lives, and then dies.  But everyone knows that, right?  These things are not in question?   My question is WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?  WHY ARE YOU BORN... as a human being?

Let's begin at the beginning, shall we?  What is Spiritual Energy?  I believe that Spiritual Energy is actually Neutral Spiritual Energy ... and being "Neutral" makes it unique.  The essence of Spirituality is that it is "Neutral," and thus, it never changes.  So the key to "Neutral"is that Neutral is an absolute and it never changes.  For example the term "Truth".  There is only one Truth, and many things that are sort of true. But who has found Truth?

The "key" to Neutral is that it never changes, and it is therefore an absolute.  What do you know that is absolute and  never changes?  What do you know that is NEUTRAL?  I Know a few things that are Absolute and they never change.  One is Truth.  Another is God.  And another is one's Soul, which is an aspect of God.  Note that none of these has been found by use of our physical senses.

How come?  Could it be  that our physical senses simply cannot perceive the ENERGY of elements which ONLY exist in the Pure Spiritual Realm?  That is, the vibrations of elements in the Realm of Spirituality resonate at a level that our physical senses simply cannot perceive?

If you follow me in what I am saying... then it is a relatively easy task to suppose that elements that are absolute in nature.... do indeed exist, but the vibrations of these Absolute elements are such that our physical  senses  just cannot perceive  them.  So, when people in the past have suggested that "Truth" does not exist in the world... they are correct.  But in being correct, they suggest that Truth exists in another realm or dimension.

All I have done is to suggest that "another dimension" is the dimension of Pure Neutral Spiritual Energy, or my symbol for this realm is "NSgy".  Neutral Spiritual Energy.

So, if your Soul is composed of NSgy, how did your Soul find its way to this physical plane?

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT:  Study the following sketch:

#1 is the physical realm, where we are presently with our physical bodies;  and each body has a physical brain, which dies along with one's physical body at the time of death.  Question:  What about the Soul and the MIND? Does this suggest the Soul and MIND are not physical?

REALITY VS ILLUSION.... And which is which?

 A most remarkable thing is that what we "think of" as reality is an Illusion, and the only way to disprove the Illusion is to "awaken to Reality" from "within" oneself.

And, how does one do this.... you may ask?   The truly bizarre Truth is... that the entire Creation is an Illusion... and virtually every human being on Earth "thinks" that the only reality there is, is the Illusion.  I mean we can see the sky, the mountains, the rivers, and of course all the people living on Earth... so how can I even say that everything we can see, taste, touch and feel is part of a grand Illusion? 

Well, the way I can say this is that over a great many years [since March 17, 1973]... I have been doing a morning meditation of about two hours and 30 minutes.  Plus I have read a great many books about Mystical phenomena and Spirituality.  And... I also experienced Gestalt Psychotherapy as part of my obtaining my Masters in Science degree in Counseling/Psychotherapy, in 1978.

But, I also know that no amount of tangible and physical "evidence" in the form of education, books, etc. will do much good because it is not my brain that has changed, it is my Soul [and specifically my level of Consciousness has been altered].  And there is no tangible, physical, or intellectual means by which I can transfer what I have experienced from "within" my own level of Consciousness to another person so that he or she can "know" what I have experienced!

I created the following sketch some years ago specifically to illustrate the structure of Man, because the structure of Man is INVISIBLE to the physical senses of Man.

That is, #1 we can see and think about.  But #2, #3, and #4 are all invisible to our physical senses.  And the only part of Man capable of becoming aware of #2, #3, and #4 is what we refer to as "Intuition." which is (I believe) a faculty of the Soul.  And I believe that one's Intuition is tied to one's level of Consciousness... which is increased by how much meditation one has engaged in?

And for most people my mention of meditation has little, if any meaning.  So, there we are...

The Whole Human Being [WHB] consists of two basic parts:  One is tangible, and the other is invisible. Again my sketch is really helpful... if one can believe that there are three parts of Man that are invisible to the brain.  #2, #3, and #4 are all invisible to one's physical senses.

And mystics and Masters both say that the ONLY way for Man to return Home to God is for Man to engage in a lifetime of dedicated meditation and to be "Initiated" into a Spiritual Path wherein a Master or Saint, sent by God to Initiate certain Souls into that Path, and for those Souls to dedicate themselves to such meditation.  I mention this only because this process exists.

Well, meditation does help one to awaken elements of oneself that are otherwise inaccessible to MAN. And that is how I have come to Know certain things, and to increase my level of Consciousness.
