15, 2013 God said: In terms of personality, everyone lives in his own world. No one sees
exactly as you, nor do you see exactly like any other. Not exactly like. Twins are different people who may often see and
feel alike, but, by no means, always. Resemblance isn’t identical. You and another may see the exact same scene, and
you do not see the scene at all alike. The other seems to read something into the scene. The other is hearing his own chapter
and verse, and you see quite a different version. In literature, as well, there are different layers of understanding.
Don’t get upset, but there is the proposition that whatever you see or hear or object to or favor is none other than
yourself. You have judged. You have extricated virtue and fault. You see a different pony show, and you are
the show you see. Sometimes you pull the wool over your eyes. Sometimes you masquerade in front of yourself.
How can you be this person in front of you who rankles you. Beloveds, there is something in you that is rankled.
Take heart. Someone who pleases you is also yourself that you are seeing. There is an aspect. You are on stage, and you are
in the audience watching yourself. It is not that this has to be investigated. You can investigate until the
cows come home and not understand more than you understand now. Insights do not usually come from analysis,
although, of course, insights can come from anywhere or nowhere. Yet insights take you somewhere. Your heart may leap, propelled
by an insight. When you are in the process of growing, you may not see your growth until later. You answer
in a different way. You ask in a different way. Something did not get under your skin as in the past. You enjoyed something
you weren’t in the habit of enjoying, yet there comes a point where you sit up, aware that you are not altogether the
same person you thought you were or once were. All that lies before you is for your growth. The lovely is for
you to grow from. The not-so-lovely is for you to grow from. And then there are plateaus where you have a chance to notice
that you are in a different place now. You used to be somewhere else, and now you are here. You have moved forward, and today
you see. In any case, something within you has opened. Your inner vision has expanded. Something has clicked.
You moved out of the way. You stepped aside, or you were pushed aside. You went down a path you wanted to or you fell down
a hill you didn’t want to. Life tripped you up, so it seemed, yet life is always putting you on course. You simply didn’t
know the way for you to grow. You didn’t know the way home. You thought you did. What you think may be a detour, it
may be the straight-a-way. You may be sure that, no matter who you are or where you have been or not been,
there is something for you to learn, or there is something for you not to learn. And you will learn it, or you will unlearn
it. At the same time as you think you don’t know something, you also know more than you think. Sometimes
you plod when you could sail. I will tell you this – I will tell you this again -- wherever you think
you have been, and wherever you may think you’re going, whether you have been focused or shilly-shallying, you are propelled
to Me, even as you have been here with Me all along. It isn’t that you are coming Home. It is that you are finding out
that you always were at Home. You have never been anywhere else but with Me. |

Fulfillment
is returning to the self -- "Let-Go" ... Let the wise one strive after Freedom, giving up all longing for sensual
self-indulgence. * Those well established in the Self will never pursue the world's vile ways.
For such descent into the false allurements of the world is yielding to the animal weakness for sense-pleasure. Stop thinking about
anything which is not your true Self, for that is degrading and productive of pain, and instead think
about your true nature, which is bliss itself and productive of liberation. * I have done what
was to be done, freed am I from the grasp of the sorrowing world. My own being is everlasting bliss;
I am filled full, through the favor of the Self {Source / Spirit}. Before the extremely intense desire for Freedom arises, you think you can see,
but really U-R blind . * Without an increase in your desire for Freedom, the ego will never allow you to see the
Truth. *
The end of the ego is the end of all suffering
and all sorrow for all eternity. * The ego projects thoughts and fantasies and the ego interprets. * The
end of the ego is infinite-eternal-awareness- love-bliss. * Realize that ending the ego is the
only truly worthwhile event that can happen in a human life. * When the extremely intense desire
for Liberation is awakened, you will be able to see that every spiritual teaching from the past
has been distorted by the ego and that some of the spiritual teachings were created by the ego for the purpose
of preserving the ego. * Most
people would not put these instructions into practice because their desire for Liberation is not strong
enough. * The desire to preserve the ego is much greater than the desire to end the ego. This
is true for almost all humans and almost all spiritual aspirants. * The ego has trillions of tricks to
preserve its imaginary self. To distort and complicate. * The word "insane" describes well almost all humans. * The
only thing you should have time for is to focus all of your attention on rising to the surface, like a man who is being
held underwater trying to rise up for air. * Then there would not be time for all these games, detours, distractions,
delays and distortions. * Then you would not pretend that thinking about spirituality is authentic Spirituality. * Then
you would not pretend that an intellectual journey is a Spiritual journey. * Then the only means you would accept
is the most direct means. * You must persevere on the path, until you become the path. * The ego is the source of all evil. The ego is insane. This is true for all humans.
To produce
so many trillions of horrors, the ego has to be evil and insane. For your entire life, you have been ignoring
your true Self - your relationship and Unity with Suurce. "He who knows his Self knows his Lord."
Demand sanity. Historically, not even one in a million humans has been dedicated to the
direct experience of the eternal Truth that lives within them and is their true Self. Ego
dissolves in love. When you see the Divine in yourself, you will see the Divine in everyone. +++ You will know the extremely intense desire
for Liberation has awakened when you have dropped all unnecessary activities to create the maximum
amount of time for spiritual practice. + If you do not do your spiritual practice every day, eventually
your life will become full of suffering. + If you do not do your spiritual practice every day, eventually,
sooner or later, you will experience one or more of the thousands of different types of suffering. + If
you do not do your spiritual practice every day, you will continue to be caught in the cycle of birth
and death again and again, you will experience diseases, violence and thousands of types of suffering,
lifetime after lifetime. + All delays are tricks of the ego, {imposter self}. + Every thought that
leads you away from spiritual practice is a trick created by the imposter self. + Look at your daily activities
and drop all those activities that are not necessary, to create as much time as possible for spiritual practice everyday.
+ Bathing and eating food everyday are necessary. + For most people working to earn a living everyday is necessary.
+ Choose to be what you really are {your true nature} at your core > Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss
i.e., Your Divine Self, or, you will be living from a parasite pretending to be your self, the fearful selfish
self-centered sleeping suffering egotist ... * Bring the imposter self to an end. * Before the extremely
intense desire for Liberation is awakened, the false self will lead you to a practice that will support
the ego. * After the extremely intense desire for Liberation is awakened, you will be able to see
how the ego has contaminated all of the spiritual and religious teachings of the past, including
both esoteric and exoteric teachings. * Watch the ego when it tries to lead you away from spiritual practice
into distractions, detours, diversions, delays, unnecessary activities and entertainment. Do not let the ego win that
battle. * Time is precious. A human lifespan is very short. You have been shown the most direct and rapid means
to eternal bliss in this lifetime. * Making a simple spiritual teaching into something complicated is a trick
generated by the ego. * Those who are spiritually immature or who lack intelligence, discernment, sincerity, discrimination
or the ability to perceive subtle differences, will not see the unique and tremendous value of these teachings. * The
ego will prevent those who are spiritually immature from seeing what is revealed in these teachings. The ego will
block from their view most of what is written here. They will then find some other excuse for why they do not see
the unique value of what is here. * At the beginning, only a small number will see this. In the years ahead, many
will see this. * If, even after reading these teachings many times, the ego did not allow you to see the value of
what is here, try reading these teachings again a few months or a year from now or when your openness or desire for
Freedom has increased. * For thousands of years humans have passed a nightmare world full of suffering, lies,
deceit, fear, anger, and violence unto their children. To stop this cycle: challenge the assumptions, ideas, beliefs
and concepts that were taught to you at a young age and now form the basis for your perceptions. * Doubt is
a very valuable tool in the process of awakening. * You could begin by doubting all of the religious and spiritual teachings
of the past. * Then doubt every human belief in all fields including science and philosophy. * Then doubt
the validity, sincerity and existence of the doubter. Find out: who or what is the doubter? * Then, eventually, sooner
or later, experience the absolute perfection of Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss. Then continue to practice. * For
this to happen you have to begin to care. * Care about Truth enough to see that the human past has been a falsehood. * Either
you are dreaming or you are not dreaming. Either you are sleeping or you are awake. * A turbulent state can be
a sign of progress if you are in the stage of doing battle with the ego. * A peaceful state can be a sign of progress. * The
most helpful view for the aspirant is to not be concerned with signs of progress. * At some point the ego tries
to stop the practice or progress of most people. The ego can do this at almost any time, even after someone
has been practicing for years. That is one reason why half of these teachings has been devoted to exposing
the ego, the ego's tricks, and how to reduce and finally end those tricks. * Care about Truth enough
to drop the past ideas, beliefs, concepts and opinions. Then begin a new life ... +++
What is the goal of practice? It is to
bring the ego and its suffering and illusions to a final end so that only the true Self whose nature is Infinite-Eternal- Awareness-Love-Bliss
remains, the final reality, which is the only reality. + Describing the final Reality as Infinite-Eternal- Awareness-Love-Bliss
is the closest one can come in words without straying too far from the human frame of reference.
Awareness-love-bliss are not three, it is one. That which almost every word in the dictionary points
towards is part of the ego dream. + When the ego comes to its final end, the dream ends and
almost everything that the words in the dictionary point towards disappears. Upon awakening, the dream
disappears. + A journey through spiritual concepts, ideas, beliefs, teachings and opinions,
through intellectual spirituality, is a journey through illusion, + Practice is what is essential.
It must not be a spiritual practice that is created by the ego for the purpose of preserving the ego. + A
human might be willing to look at part of one war. However it is very rare that a human is willing to
look at what fifteen thousand wars in the last five thousand years really means. Seeing what happened
to each and every individual human in those wars. In addition to the wars, trillions of acts of violence
have occurred. Billions of lies are told by humans each and every day including today. Billions of
acts of cruelty in this ocean of human suffering, sorrow, deceit etc. occur every day including today.
Yet all this is still only a few drops in the ocean of human suffering and evil. This is a case where
a picture is worth a thousand words. Photographs of human bodies after the acts of violence have occurred
can convey much more than mere words. Billions of acts of verbal deceit, conning, and cheating occur every
day including today. Humans lie not only to each other but to themselves every day. + There is a
further step one can take to see the extent of the ego's vast network of deception, cruelty, insincerity,
ect. That is to see how usually what humans call good is also the ego's evil in a hidden form. + Self
honesty begins by beginning to face the insincerity, deceptiveness, evil and cruelty of thought. + One
reason why it is so important to become aware of the ocean of human suffering, deception, insincerity,
cruelty, ect. is because that is one of the steps towards ending it. + What is it that leads
him to the decision not to do a spiritual practice that has the potential to reveal to him his true
Self and let him enter the ocean of eternal bliss? It is the ego. The pro-religious believer, and the
anti-religious disbeliever who thinks he is so rational, are both lost in belief. Belief is not Truth. + Also,
even if one points out the defects ect., if the desire for Truth and Freedom is not there they will not
see what is being pointed out. + There are current scientific discoveries that support the notion
that all is one consciousness. Science is for the purpose of discovering that which is relatively truer.
Science is not for the purpose of experiencing the Absolute Truth that has never changed in all eternity
and that will never change in all eternity. + It is not all gloomy and bleak. There is something
wonderful and extremely beautiful. You can wake up and live eternally in Infinite-Awareness-Love-Bliss,
free of all suffering. Your true Self is that now. Wishing you success in bringing the imposter {ego}
to its final end - ending the me center. Start the day with love. Fill the day with love. End
the day with love. +++ http://www.seeseer.com
