Go Play In Traffic!!
Want some excitement in your day? Do you just want to be who you want to be, and not who some guy in a cornflower blue tie tells you to be? Become a bike messenger!! Fun, adrenalin, freedom, amazing exercise, beautiful scenery. "It's the best job in the world!!" some of our local messengers can be quoted as saying. I almost wish that I didn't call in sick today! Watching these guys splitting traffic makes me all tingley inside. Although there's a lot of assholing going on, which sucks.
This looks to be an alleycat race in New York.

"The shadows we fear are cast by our own mind" -(I found this in an old notebook that I kept. I can't remember where it's from.)

A Letter to One Who's Past
Please show me the path to peace, and highlight the path to happiness, so that I can achieve all that I need to in this lifetime. Help me find the courage and strength to understand so that I can grow and change what will not pass during my journey through this world.
Let me know when I am right so that I need no guidance from this world so touched with evil. But please show me when I am wrong as well. Mercy will make me weak and dull.
Please let me share this peace with all that are, while keeping in mind when thoughts come to criticize, I am only looking in the mirror.
I know I ask a lot of you, and you have given me plenty through my time. As I have anger, I am weak. Its release I have not found. I live as human, though no excuse. Precisely this I have come to seek. Its method I'd like to share with all that be.

The Doorway
There is a door in your head that everything that you know points to. A door that has been magically locked by the fire god, and sealed with a crucifix. Your pain is the map, and your will is they key. Only you can - and you must - fully step through this door.
Puzzling
Imagine I come over and bring ten puzzles with 5000 pieces each, and dump them all on the same table. There are ten pictures to build, and fifty thousand pieces on the table. You still know what all ten pictures are, but that doesn't really relate to your very full table of puzzle pieces. You have a hard time relating to the information on a single puzzle piece, and nothing really makes any sense. But you still know all ten pictures.
In time, you manage to get the border of one of the puzzles complete. (Or at least you think that you do, but all ten puzzles are cut from the same template; only the picture is really different).
If I were to come along, seemingly randomly pick an unplaced puzzle piece, state that "this piece goes right here, believe me!" and place the piece with some apparently random position and orientation, within the border of the puzzle, what would happen?
Time and memory would tell us that this piece is now "in" the puzzle, and that its picture, orientation, and position may be correct. But one or all (orientation, etc) may also not be correct.
The only external way that you have to judge this situation is by how much you believe me; how much you trust me based on things like experiences with me and my judgment, and your temperament. How much you "like" me. Unfortunately, if you see me in a positive way I can still be wrong, and if you see me in a negative way I can still be right. But if you don't judge this puzzle piece, it will scream at you until you do.
This is where religion comes in.

The Translucent Revolution - A Fragment of Conversation:
(Jimmy C):
I don't know what to say to all that. Why is God suffering? Because humans are? When you say "he", you don't really mean to denote a gender do you?
(One Of Many Guys Named Dean):
Suffering may have been a bad word. I think the Universe feels everything that we do! (I think that in THE critical way, we are just like, and infact ARE God). The difference is that we only really feel ourselves (for the most part), where as God feels everyone and everything in the Universe (his body)(or part of it), . God would feel similar to how we would if some of our cells were sick (but God IS eternity, and self healing, so...). Plus his creations aren't doing well, and can't see him!
Most 'he's' were intentional. I like the way the Kybalion describes gender. Its actually one of the paradoxes that drives our conscious reality. (if not THE paradox (or 'duality' would fit here too) that all others imply). God is not without gender (then we would be without gender). Like us, the Universe is bi-gender. Except with us, somewhere during our building, one of them dominates over the other, and our bodies choose the dominant one to become (our bodies aren't eternal yet, they still need to procreate). We still have both though.
Gender isn't really a sexual concept at all (...but our bodies still need to procreate...). Its more like, I guess, the two separate states of being. In our reality (but not in Gods), two states of being that cannot 'exist' (that's a bad word) at the same time, while one is 'on' the other is 'off', and vise versa. This is the paradox.
This whole concept reminds me a lot of 'The Uncertainty Principle' from physics. "You can't know both the position and the velocity of a particle at the same time. The more you look at one, the more you affect the other." (It deals with sub atomic particles and energy. It threw science on its ear back in Einstein's day).
The Kybalion says that the female is more or less the inflow, and the male is the outflow. The book calls it "the Me and the I", respectively. (You must remember that unless you tell it otherwise, your conscious mind is the 'observer' of all of this, watching the reflection off of the back of your head. If that makes any sense what so ever). The female, or Me, is the PASSIVE observer. Passive in the sense of: without adding anything, but merely taking in 'what is' (and if what they say is right: all there is). Not 'what you think it is', or 'what you know it is'. So your picture makes no sense, its a blob. As soon as you think about it, or 'know' it, you are by definition injecting 'what you know' into it, and so your perception switches to watch the ACTIVE Will (as in willpower). The male, or the I.
The paradox happens here. At this moment. You are now blind. You cannot 'see' the outside 'real world'. Because you are now watching your will in the context of 'the world you know'. So you turn around, and 'look' at 'the real world'. But here you're hit with the paradox again! Because you're are not 'actively' thinking about it, you cannot 'see' what you are looking at. So you turn around again to think about, or 'see' what you were just looking at. But now you're blind again, so you turn around again.... And so on.
Consciousness happens (according to this theory) as a result of us chasing this cycle around and around, in endless circles. Rather like a hamster in its wheel.
Like I mentioned before, in us humans one of these states always becomes dominant. This more or less throws the 'balance of the wheel' (ill put it that way) out of whack. (This is why people either seem to shoot their will off blindly, or they can't seem to see what they're looking at). A moment of creative thought happens when, and only when there's a perfect balance between these states. The hard part, in a sense, is putting the lens IN FRONT of the beam, and aiming the whole contraption where you want it to go, (in the dark) BEFORE you shoot it off, and hearing the silent whisper of a noise that doesn't make a sound, so to speak.
But this was about God. God, I believe, IS EQUALLY bi-gender. That perfect balance necessary for creative thought. Because of our 'dominant sex' we are off balance; we can only be creative in bits and spurts. But god is more or less 'on' all the time because of that perfect balance. Everything else has a dominant gender. God IS creativity. Its how he rules the universe over all others.
Most of the time, when I say 'he' (or the masculine) I mean I guess the 'will' of the universe. ...but sometimes there's too many "God"s in a sentence for it to sound right.
I like the protection prayer! But make sure you don't deny your emotions and feelings (male & female, respectively)!!! They will come out other ways whether you like it or not! Denying them is what makes them stick! Running from them, and fearing them is what makes them stick! They are there to make you understand something. They need to be understood properly so that they don't back up! If they do back up, you're not understanding something properly, and things need re-investigation (very handy when dodging traffic!). If you can accept them without condition, and can trust them enough to let them happen without question, they are a valuable source of information indeed, a 6th sense if you like!
This is the processing layer before consciousness, and lays below consciousness (for most people, as they are so scattered), and thereby acts, and reacts faster (much, much faster) than conscious thought.
This layer is your link to God! This is where he talks to you! He hears everything you think through what you feel. (A thought is a translated feeling or emotion). And we hear EVERYTHING he tells us here. Whether we're listening or not is a different story.
The 'normal', healthy, happy, resting (not sleeping, but not doing anything either) body feels more or less nothing. Not numbness, but nothing. Blissful ignorance in a way. This is THE zone (but this is also a female state). This is zero, or perfect balance. The shortest distance between you and the moment (and therefore God). Any deviation from that nothing is something that is pulling you off balance, requiring a reassessment and an act of will to correct it (a male state). Fear will make the female state stick, and amplify the image of what's frightening you. (no matter what you do). This can be useful, if you use it right, but if the fear starts to back up, the image becomes distorted, and devastation usually follows. Fear becomes a problem in the male state, as the urge to over-correct is usually unbearable, and lack of confidence causes us to choose the option that we know is not right.
I heard an interview with a police officer a while ago, talking about traffic accidents. He was saying that in most cases, in the moments before a crash, people actually do know what to do, and how to do it in order to avoid the accident. And they are usually correct! And then their fears speak up, and destroy any confidence the driver had. That lack of confidence then causes the drivers thinking to spin a precise 180, and they end up executing the exact opposite of what they know needs to be done. They do precisely what they know they should not do!
This is why spiritual peace is so important. A scale that's not zeroed usually doesn't weigh stuff that accurately. And an off balance cycle doesn't spin that smoothly. The more off balance you are, the more difficult it gets to figure out where the messages are coming from.
What do they mean? Are they feelings or emotions? Feelings (the female state) tell you things from the outside world (I think they're called 'feelings' for a reason), while emotions (the male state) are rooted in the ego; they tell you about your inner state. The paradox is that you can only see your feelings (external female state, and as true a representation of the outside world as is possible) through their reflection in your emotions, or ego (internal male state). The more off balance you get, the more distorted the lens of your emotions and ego becomes, and the longer it takes you to 'see' this now distorted image.
If you can keep your mind free and clear, and not worry about fear, your emotions and feelings become the grease that slips you down the rabbit hole, so to speak. Its a lot easier with lube!
I've put this theory to the test at work (I'm a bike messenger), and its results are startling to say the least! If I can keep an image of where I need to be in my head (not how I need to get there), (I'm prepared to say) God guides me the whole way there! If my ego doesn't cut him off, and I am listening. Lights, traffic flows, elevators, receptionist, even the effort that I need to put into riding! It all falls into place with effortless ease! It is truly amazing! The smoother you can make the cycle spin, the faster and easier it gets!"
Any act of will is an act of magick. Any act of will that you have WILL be felt by all, (this fact strikes at the very heart of what magick is) although most will tune you out without even realizing it (they are busy being dominated by other wills. Probably other than their own (if you don't have the will, you will be dominated by some one else's). The trick is to focus your will. The more 'potent' the will (the more focused energy you're beaming), the more it will be felt.
The hard part is listening while you're doing it, and overcoming any resistance to it. In 'real time'. (This would make this process below most peoples consciousness, as they don't actually 'see' 'real time', or anything close to it).
In order to make magick happen, you have to keep a feelings image (as if you were actually there) of 'what you want' in your head (effectively making it your 'zero') and overcome any resistance keeping you from it, without letting ANY feelings or emotions back up. Period. All MUST be resolved in REAL TIME. This is basically how our lives basically work, we use this every day in our conscious physical world.
People don't realize that this can be done psychically (I guess that's what it'd be called. Hence 'magick'), and is being done to them this way. If you can move this process from the conscious physical senses, and language, to the feelings and emotions level, things can get interesting indeed! (This may be an understatement!)
"The magical will is in essence twofold for it implies a beginning and an end. To will to be something is to admit that you are not that thing"(Aleister Crowley). This is the paradox of magick.
This is my theory of magick, and how it works, and how our world, and The Universe is run. Things get interesting when its realized that people behave just like charged particles, and react to things in ways strikingly similar to magnetism.
It is also very important, when resolving your 'magical' conflicts 'magically', to not use the negative! It wastes too much energy trying to over come the negative.
For example, instead of 'I am not cold', which your body takes as 'I AM cold', which also must be overcome. Rather use the positive: "I am warm". This WILL tell your body that you are in fact warm, and completely bypass feeling cold, more or less.
(Jimmy C):
You have hit upon something very important. I AM is very powerful & we must watch what we add to after those 2 words. I am cold or I am stupid or I am fat is what the subconscious registers as truth.
I AM off to the doctor's office now! LOL!
(One of Many Guys Named Dean):
The very essence of magick is that your 'I am' WILL affect someone (or something) else's 'I am'.
(Jimmy C):
How do you find someone stuck in their female state?
(One of Many Guys Named Dean):
The female state is more or less 'space cadet' mode. Not a full blown space cadet, mind you, but a momentary astronaut. A day dreamer, in a daydream.
You can see everything in this mode, BUT you must keep the cycle spinning in order to see it!! You MUST provide the male state, the will, or the 'action' to keep it moving along. If you don't provide the, the right, or enough action, things will back up in the female state, and her lens will become cloudy.
This is why I write; to provide the action, so I can see what I'm looking at.
Of course it is more than extremely important to always keep in mind that you are only doing all of this to yourself, regardless of what the 'target' feels. Love is the only thing that doesn't have negative side effects, everything else is a trade.
Love is hard to give when we're scared. In fact its one of the hardest things to give when fear is our focus. I find the most useful things in fear control are 'knowing' the fact that I AM eternal, and that when its my time to go its my time to go, no escaping. But God will protect me until then, and won't give me anything I can't handle (although, what I think at the time may not agree). Plus when I go, I know that I will 'see' the truth (we can already see it now, but we have far to many distractions to decipher the subtleties).
Whether or not this is actually true, it does faaaaaar more good than harm when I'm scared. Its not about trying not to be scared, fear is VERY useful (nothing sucks you down the 'rabbit hole' like fear), rather its about not having to worry about (and therefore focus on) the fear that you do feel. If you can let it happen, and accept fear as nothing but a tool, the world , and indeed the universe, is at your doorstep.
(Jimmy C):
Oh I see female as in passive, receptive; not in action. Does the female state generate the male state? Does one go from inaction to action? Are they 2 sides of the same state?
(One of Many Guys Named Dean):
What actually generates the male state is truly the million dollar question!! For this is THE question that decides the fate/free will argument!
If the female state generates the male state, then that more or less means 'god' (not necessarily God the Universe, but someone's will (we ARE God)) is driving. If the male state is generating itself, then we are driving. But God did give us the 'spark of life' (ONLY he can give this! Man will not 'create life from scratch! The only way we can is by the ways HE let's us), and start this cycle!
Actually, I think its both (the duality/singularity problem again)(we are god, but the individual is more or less a clone of 'god the collective', on a much much smaller scale (but is it truly a smaller scale?). What is seen in the female state inspires the "I" into action, but you 'see' what you 'want' to see. None of us truly 'wants' to see the 'truth'. This is what keeps us alive. If that makes any sense. It would stop the cycle completely, and we would die. Death is THE ULTIMATE female state (for our bodies anyway). But there is another way! Speed the cycle up! Increase your vibration, or frequency. But that takes hard work! And lots of it! (But you know that)
Scale is a word that describes it well. The more 'I' you put into it, the more you drive. The less 'I', the more 'god the collective' drives (if you don't have the will, you will be dominated by someone else's).
Radio wave (electro magnetic wave, of which 'light' and TV are a part of) spectrum describes it better. Your 'ego', or 'I AM' (or zero, or set of basic assumtions, or 'sense of common sense'. What ever you want to call it) now becomes the tuner, or basically your TV set (it broadcasts as well). The hard part is 'tuning in the right 'frequency''. Separating it from the mix.
This takes will, or action.
In fact this is what I think it truly is! Not just a simile. Hence why the word "light" is used in the bible etc. Light is the only word that they had to describe it with when that was written. In fact when the words 'spirit', 'angel', 'demon', 'ghost' and what not are used, they are more or less referring to the director of these flows of electromagnetic energy. Of which we truly are on the most fundamental level. Hence why, and how we tune ourselves in, as from our perception, ours speaks the loudest, because its the closest. I think that When you 'pray' to these deities, you are trying to tune them in with your 'receiver'.
But where's God? God has cleverly hidden himself with his paradoxes indeed!! Because of Gods perfect balance, his cycle spins the smoothest, and fastest, so therefore he is the most creative, and his 'station' broadcasts the loudest. This is one clue to Gods location.
Then how come we can't hear him louder than anything else's? We do! God the Universe, is, I guess, the mind of god the collective's body (if that makes sense. Do not forget in any of this: "God made us in his likeness"!!!!!!!! (image? I can't remember how the line actually goes. Doesn't matter). We ARE CLONES of God, though on a much smaller, off balanced scale His station has to be the most balanced, and stable, the loudest, with the highest frequency for a reason!!! (God hides in the subtleties, behind curtains of grey). His is the carrier wave that all others ride on!!!
The reason we can't 'see' God is that we are scared and lazy and miserable, which means that stopping the cycle and death is the only way we are going to Truly 'see' God!!!!!!
The other way, of course, involves an awful lot of work!!! More that we are capable of in our societies current state!! But we CAN do it, IF EVERY ONE OF US does! Indeed getting all involved is as difficult as getting oneself involved!!! The more of these conflicts you RESOLVE in yourself, the more others will subconsciously understand these conflicts, and resolve them in themselves! You'll inspire them! Because somewhere well hidden inside them, they also know the truth! Do not sweep under the carpet and 'forget' about!! You NEVER truly forget!!! That energy of creation is now, and will always be 'in' the system!! You will always, always, always 'feel' it!! And so will others!!! No matter what you do!! In private or not! Although they probably won't understand its context, or even 'tune it in'. They WILL feel it though!
'Seeing' God involves taking 'the leap of faith'! And more or less 'putting your life in Gods Hands'. The biggest picture possible is critical! Because in our 'humanity' right now our egos think that there job is to understand the 'self', and protect the self from what is ultimately ourselves (we ONLY need protection from ourselves!), we are almost forced into tuning into one or two of these TV stations instead of watching the whole spectrum itself as a TV station. If that makes any sense. The egos job is not to understand ourselves really, rather I think God gave it to us as a mirror to 'see' what other people feel. I ask God to make me feel more!
E=MC^2 (squared). Therefore MC^2=MC^2. Or in English: the amount of energy in matter is equal to the mass of that matter times the square of the speed of light. But this equation also deals with acceleration as well. The energy required to accelerate a given mass up to the speed of light, is all of the energy stored AS that given mass. The time travel paradox. Now I believe that these equations deal with our perception as well. Einstein says that anything with mass cannot travel the speed of light. But here comes the 'magick'!! We ONLY exist as energy corralled, and herded by charged particles (on the small, or subtle scale). If it weren't for our 'body' we would be free to roam the universe. This is what happens at death.
But we can (this is going to sound morbid) experience 'death' while we're still alive!! You are ONLY fused to your body because you 'know' you are.
But I got off topic. God is the ENTIRE SPECTRUM AT ONCE!!!!! That's a SHITLOAD of information!!!! More than our 'selves' are capable of processing!!! That is FAAAAAAR too much energy for our body to handle at once!!! Hence death. ...But you only have a 'self' because you 'know' that you do!!! The trick is to discharge the energy without letting it build up, thus stressing you. To let it flow through you if you like. This is why the action is necessary!! And this is why the only way to 'see' God is through a lot of work, thus raising your frequency.
BUT the 'self' is really only thing that catches this energy anyway! Without the 'self' the energy naturally flows through you. Like I said the trick in 'seeing' God is to take that 'leap of faith'! By putting your 'self' in Gods Hands! The only way to see God is to in a sense, deny the 'self' of its existence! (The required sacrifice in the bible?) While showing it that it truly is infact God. This is extremely difficult for our off balance egos to deal with properly!!! Like I said though, you can do anything you want, as long as you can discharge it!! If you don't, it will stick, and back up, this will make us shoot our will off blindly. (Plural intentionally).
This whole theory reeks of the golden spiral theory!! The exact same shape (a section, the same section, proportionately, of a circle) repeated over and over and over again, ever smaller, and ever larger at the same time, but no matter how you look at the spiral, its the EXACT same shape. Whether large or small. Same as in the scientific meaning: one and the same. Not similar: more than one identical, independent, items.
But either way, the paradoxes/dualities seem to go either one way or the other at whatever given time. But they are just 2 separate states of the same thing. God is all. God is the best of the good, and also the worst of the evil. But God it is, either way. In order to relate to God, we have to 'KNOW' that we, as well are these things. And be able to accept that fact.
I don't know what to say to all that. Why is God suffering? Because humans are? When you say "he", you don't really mean to denote a gender do you?
(One Of Many Guys Named Dean):
Suffering may have been a bad word. I think the Universe feels everything that we do! (I think that in THE critical way, we are just like, and infact ARE God).

If you can accept them without condition, and can trust them enough to let them happen without question, they are a valuable source of information indeed, a 6th sense if you like!
This is the processing layer before consciousness, and lays below consciousness (for most people, as they are so scattered), and thereby acts, and reacts faster (much, much faster) than conscious thought.
This layer is your link to God! This is where he talks to you! He hears everything you think through what you feel. (A thought is a translated feeling or emotion). And we hear EVERYTHING he tells us here. Whether we're listening or not is a different story.
The 'normal', healthy, happy, resting (not sleeping, but not doing anything either) body feels more or less nothing. Not numbness, but nothing. Blissful ignorance in a way. This is THE zone (but this is also a female state). This is zero, or perfect balance. The shortest distance between you and the moment (and therefore God). Any deviation from that nothing is something that is pulling you off balance, requiring a reassessment and an act of will to correct it (a male state). Fear will make the female state stick, and amplify the image of what's frightening you. (no matter what you do). This can be useful, if you use it right, but if the fear starts to back up, the image becomes distorted, and devastation usually follows. Fear becomes a problem in the male state, as the urge to over-correct is usually unbearable, and lack of confidence causes us to choose the option that we know is not right.
I heard an interview with a police officer a while ago, talking about traffic accidents. He was saying that in most cases, in the moments before a crash, people actually do know what to do, and how to do it in order to avoid the accident. And they are usually correct! And then their fears speak up, and destroy any confidence the driver had. That lack of confidence then causes the drivers thinking to spin a precise 180, and they end up executing the exact opposite of what they know needs to be done. They do precisely what they know they should not do!
This is why spiritual peace is so important. A scale that's not zeroed usually doesn't weigh stuff that accurately. And an off balance cycle doesn't spin that smoothly. The more off balance you are, the more difficult it gets to figure out where the messages are coming from.
What do they mean? Are they feelings or emotions? Feelings (the female state) tell you things from the outside world (I think they're called 'feelings' for a reason), while emotions (the male state) are rooted in the ego; they tell you about your inner state. The paradox is that you can only see your feelings (external female state, and as true a representation of the outside world as is possible) through their reflection in your emotions, or ego (internal male state). The more off balance you get, the more distorted the lens of your emotions and ego becomes, and the longer it takes you to 'see' this now distorted image.
If you can keep your mind free and clear, and not worry about fear, your emotions and feelings become the grease that slips you down the rabbit hole, so to speak. Its a lot easier with lube!
I've put this theory to the test at work (I'm a bike messenger), and its results are startling to say the least! If I can keep an image of where I need to be in my head (not how I need to get there), (I'm prepared to say) God guides me the whole way there! If my ego doesn't cut him off, and I am listening. Lights, traffic flows, elevators, receptionist, even the effort that I need to put into riding! It all falls into place with effortless ease! It is truly amazing! The smoother you can make the cycle spin, the faster and easier it gets!"
Any act of will is an act of magick. Any act of will that you have WILL be felt by all, (this fact strikes at the very heart of what magick is) although most will tune you out without even realizing it (they are busy being dominated by other wills. Probably other than their own (if you don't have the will, you will be dominated by some one else's). The trick is to focus your will. The more 'potent' the will (the more focused energy you're beaming), the more it will be felt.
The hard part is listening while you're doing it, and overcoming any resistance to it. In 'real time'. (This would make this process below most peoples consciousness, as they don't actually 'see' 'real time', or anything close to it).
In order to make magick happen, you have to keep a feelings image (as if you were actually there) of 'what you want' in your head (effectively making it your 'zero') and overcome any resistance keeping you from it, without letting ANY feelings or emotions back up. Period. All MUST be resolved in REAL TIME. This is basically how our lives basically work, we use this every day in our conscious physical world.
People don't realize that this can be done psychically (I guess that's what it'd be called. Hence 'magick'), and is being done to them this way. If you can move this process from the conscious physical senses, and language, to the feelings and emotions level, things can get interesting indeed! (This may be an understatement!)
"The magical will is in essence twofold for it implies a beginning and an end. To will to be something is to admit that you are not that thing"(Aleister Crowley). This is the paradox of magick.
This is my theory of magick, and how it works, and how our world, and The Universe is run. Things get interesting when its realized that people behave just like charged particles, and react to things in ways strikingly similar to magnetism.
It is also very important, when resolving your 'magical' conflicts 'magically', to not use the negative! It wastes too much energy trying to over come the negative.
For example, instead of 'I am not cold', which your body takes as 'I AM cold', which also must be overcome. Rather use the positive: "I am warm". This WILL tell your body that you are in fact warm, and completely bypass feeling cold, more or less.
(Jimmy C):
You have hit upon something very important. I AM is very powerful & we must watch what we add to after those 2 words. I am cold or I am stupid or I am fat is what the subconscious registers as truth.
I AM off to the doctor's office now! LOL!
(One of Many Guys Named Dean):
The very essence of magick is that your 'I am' WILL affect someone (or something) else's 'I am'.
(Jimmy C):
How do you find someone stuck in their female state?
(One of Many Guys Named Dean):
The female state is more or less 'space cadet' mode. Not a full blown space cadet, mind you, but a momentary astronaut. A day dreamer, in a daydream.
You can see everything in this mode, BUT you must keep the cycle spinning in order to see it!! You MUST provide the male state, the will, or the 'action' to keep it moving along. If you don't provide the, the right, or enough action, things will back up in the female state, and her lens will become cloudy.
This is why I write; to provide the action, so I can see what I'm looking at.
Of course it is more than extremely important to always keep in mind that you are only doing all of this to yourself, regardless of what the 'target' feels. Love is the only thing that doesn't have negative side effects, everything else is a trade.
Love is hard to give when we're scared. In fact its one of the hardest things to give when fear is our focus. I find the most useful things in fear control are 'knowing' the fact that I AM eternal, and that when its my time to go its my time to go, no escaping. But God will protect me until then, and won't give me anything I can't handle (although, what I think at the time may not agree). Plus when I go, I know that I will 'see' the truth (we can already see it now, but we have far to many distractions to decipher the subtleties).
Whether or not this is actually true, it does faaaaaar more good than harm when I'm scared. Its not about trying not to be scared, fear is VERY useful (nothing sucks you down the 'rabbit hole' like fear), rather its about not having to worry about (and therefore focus on) the fear that you do feel. If you can let it happen, and accept fear as nothing but a tool, the world , and indeed the universe, is at your doorstep.
(Jimmy C):
Oh I see female as in passive, receptive; not in action. Does the female state generate the male state? Does one go from inaction to action? Are they 2 sides of the same state?
(One of Many Guys Named Dean):
What actually generates the male state is truly the million dollar question!! For this is THE question that decides the fate/free will argument!
If the female state generates the male state, then that more or less means 'god' (not necessarily God the Universe, but someone's will (we ARE God)) is driving. If the male state is generating itself, then we are driving. But God did give us the 'spark of life' (ONLY he can give this! Man will not 'create life from scratch! The only way we can is by the ways HE let's us), and start this cycle!
Actually, I think its both (the duality/singularity problem again)(we are god, but the individual is more or less a clone of 'god the collective', on a much much smaller scale (but is it truly a smaller scale?). What is seen in the female state inspires the "I" into action, but you 'see' what you 'want' to see. None of us truly 'wants' to see the 'truth'. This is what keeps us alive. If that makes any sense. It would stop the cycle completely, and we would die. Death is THE ULTIMATE female state (for our bodies anyway). But there is another way! Speed the cycle up! Increase your vibration, or frequency. But that takes hard work! And lots of it! (But you know that)
Scale is a word that describes it well. The more 'I' you put into it, the more you drive. The less 'I', the more 'god the collective' drives (if you don't have the will, you will be dominated by someone else's).
Radio wave (electro magnetic wave, of which 'light' and TV are a part of) spectrum describes it better. Your 'ego', or 'I AM' (or zero, or set of basic assumtions, or 'sense of common sense'. What ever you want to call it) now becomes the tuner, or basically your TV set (it broadcasts as well). The hard part is 'tuning in the right 'frequency''. Separating it from the mix.
This takes will, or action.
In fact this is what I think it truly is! Not just a simile. Hence why the word "light" is used in the bible etc. Light is the only word that they had to describe it with when that was written. In fact when the words 'spirit', 'angel', 'demon', 'ghost' and what not are used, they are more or less referring to the director of these flows of electromagnetic energy. Of which we truly are on the most fundamental level. Hence why, and how we tune ourselves in, as from our perception, ours speaks the loudest, because its the closest. I think that When you 'pray' to these deities, you are trying to tune them in with your 'receiver'.
But where's God? God has cleverly hidden himself with his paradoxes indeed!! Because of Gods perfect balance, his cycle spins the smoothest, and fastest, so therefore he is the most creative, and his 'station' broadcasts the loudest. This is one clue to Gods location.
Then how come we can't hear him louder than anything else's? We do! God the Universe, is, I guess, the mind of god the collective's body (if that makes sense. Do not forget in any of this: "God made us in his likeness"!!!!!!!! (image? I can't remember how the line actually goes. Doesn't matter). We ARE CLONES of God, though on a much smaller, off balanced scale His station has to be the most balanced, and stable, the loudest, with the highest frequency for a reason!!! (God hides in the subtleties, behind curtains of grey). His is the carrier wave that all others ride on!!!
The reason we can't 'see' God is that we are scared and lazy and miserable, which means that stopping the cycle and death is the only way we are going to Truly 'see' God!!!!!!
The other way, of course, involves an awful lot of work!!! More that we are capable of in our societies current state!! But we CAN do it, IF EVERY ONE OF US does! Indeed getting all involved is as difficult as getting oneself involved!!! The more of these conflicts you RESOLVE in yourself, the more others will subconsciously understand these conflicts, and resolve them in themselves! You'll inspire them! Because somewhere well hidden inside them, they also know the truth! Do not sweep under the carpet and 'forget' about!! You NEVER truly forget!!! That energy of creation is now, and will always be 'in' the system!! You will always, always, always 'feel' it!! And so will others!!! No matter what you do!! In private or not! Although they probably won't understand its context, or even 'tune it in'. They WILL feel it though!
'Seeing' God involves taking 'the leap of faith'! And more or less 'putting your life in Gods Hands'. The biggest picture possible is critical! Because in our 'humanity' right now our egos think that there job is to understand the 'self', and protect the self from what is ultimately ourselves (we ONLY need protection from ourselves!), we are almost forced into tuning into one or two of these TV stations instead of watching the whole spectrum itself as a TV station. If that makes any sense. The egos job is not to understand ourselves really, rather I think God gave it to us as a mirror to 'see' what other people feel. I ask God to make me feel more!
E=MC^2 (squared). Therefore MC^2=MC^2. Or in English: the amount of energy in matter is equal to the mass of that matter times the square of the speed of light. But this equation also deals with acceleration as well. The energy required to accelerate a given mass up to the speed of light, is all of the energy stored AS that given mass. The time travel paradox. Now I believe that these equations deal with our perception as well. Einstein says that anything with mass cannot travel the speed of light. But here comes the 'magick'!! We ONLY exist as energy corralled, and herded by charged particles (on the small, or subtle scale). If it weren't for our 'body' we would be free to roam the universe. This is what happens at death.
But we can (this is going to sound morbid) experience 'death' while we're still alive!! You are ONLY fused to your body because you 'know' you are.
But I got off topic. God is the ENTIRE SPECTRUM AT ONCE!!!!! That's a SHITLOAD of information!!!! More than our 'selves' are capable of processing!!! That is FAAAAAAR too much energy for our body to handle at once!!! Hence death. ...But you only have a 'self' because you 'know' that you do!!! The trick is to discharge the energy without letting it build up, thus stressing you. To let it flow through you if you like. This is why the action is necessary!! And this is why the only way to 'see' God is through a lot of work, thus raising your frequency.
BUT the 'self' is really only thing that catches this energy anyway! Without the 'self' the energy naturally flows through you. Like I said the trick in 'seeing' God is to take that 'leap of faith'! By putting your 'self' in Gods Hands! The only way to see God is to in a sense, deny the 'self' of its existence! (The required sacrifice in the bible?) While showing it that it truly is infact God. This is extremely difficult for our off balance egos to deal with properly!!! Like I said though, you can do anything you want, as long as you can discharge it!! If you don't, it will stick, and back up, this will make us shoot our will off blindly. (Plural intentionally).
This whole theory reeks of the golden spiral theory!! The exact same shape (a section, the same section, proportionately, of a circle) repeated over and over and over again, ever smaller, and ever larger at the same time, but no matter how you look at the spiral, its the EXACT same shape. Whether large or small. Same as in the scientific meaning: one and the same. Not similar: more than one identical, independent, items.
But either way, the paradoxes/dualities seem to go either one way or the other at whatever given time. But they are just 2 separate states of the same thing. God is all. God is the best of the good, and also the worst of the evil. But God it is, either way. In order to relate to God, we have to 'KNOW' that we, as well are these things. And be able to accept that fact.

George Carlin from "Life is Worth Losing"
George Carlin provides 'a quick introduction to the real world', and an explanation of why it's called the 'American DREAM':
"Because you have to be asleep to believe it!...the table is tilted folks; the game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care...Good, honest, hard working people continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don't give a fuck about them. They don't give a fuck about you. They don't GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU! They don't care about you. At all! At all! At all! And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care..."
Real?
What if the world you see in front of you wasn’t real? If the reality of your life weren’t as solid as you believe, how would you cope? Would you look to another to suffer your woes on your behalf?
Do you have to justify? Do you have to tell yourself life is just that way? You perform as expected, and you’ll do all right, but your life is expected.
Ah, yes. Come in please, take a seat; take a load off. We’ll make those monsters go away! Yes we can; we’ve got just the thing required.
Peeled gently, layer by layer like an onion, yes soon you’ll be all right. Pardon me? Sorry, no I don’t quite recall, there seems to be an odd void. Emptiness.
Fed the right diet, a subconscious diet, you’ll find that it disappears remarkably quickly. You wont feel a thing. Your system needs you, and its there to help. I promise that you won’t feel anything at all. Just open that door, and you’ll be safe, we’ll watch and make sure. Pardon me? Oh that, yes I see it too. That’s just your imagination. No, it’s not real. There’s nothing there.
The moment you’re given life, and the moment you’re life is returned are yours, and the balance is ours. No, I tell you that that’s the way it’s always been. It’s a waste, I tell you. I’m sorry to hear you can’t remember. Them? They’re deficient, and they can’t hide forever. Unsafe, I tell you, you don’t want to be like them. Like I said, your system needs you, it wants to help. Your safety is its prime concern. Accidents make the system less efficient, and we cant have that. The system can never stop, unspeakable things may happen. You can’t imagine.
This moment, and all others before exist nevermore, just as the ones to come never have. All that does is an amount so infinitely close to nothing that it disappears almost before its moment of fame. Uncatchable. …Or is it? You see ‘real’ in a relative way. How does it relate to you?
Time, an infinite line, with infinite moments, does it travel with constant, infinite speed? Could your memory tell the difference? It’s all that’s available with which to judge. Infinite moments bring infinite possibilities. How many do you remember? Is the choice really yours? Did it truly happen like that? Certainty becomes just another word.
What? Is that what they told you? You just believe that because you don’t want to invest the energy to stray. Your system needs you, and it strives to impress. Those others are less than, and they cant run forever. Swallow that pill. You’ll feel the effects momentarily. Believe it when it’s convenient for you. Justify it when its not. Don’t worry about the guilt. That will soon disappear.
How much will you believe when what you believe is tested? When you are the only one who believes?
How much of your life do you think you have a right to? Are you even aware that you don’t? Millions of years go by fine, and suddenly living without it is unthinkable. Maybe the rest of the herd is right. Don’t stray too far, you’ll get lost. For your protection, we will steer you in the right direction. Again, do not worry, you wont feel a thing. I’m sure that you’ll find our stealthy methods blend right into the background. Your system needs you, and it wants you to be able to believe in it. Those others are destroying their lives, and ours too. But there’s no cause for concern. Their mistakes will be uncovered, and all will be justified.

It’s how you protect yourself from your pain, and make sense of your suffering
… A suffering only human.
I take no offence to you, but feel hurt by your ways,
