21st Century Reality

Natural Idealism

2008-08-19T16:21:00Z

All of us born into the western world have acquired the beliefs of that world. The beliefs that form much of that world are contained within the tenets of our religions, science and Darwinism. Our habitual patterns of thinking about ourselves are the result of these three cultural systems. The basic premise of religion is that we come into the world tainted by sin, or, at the least, become sinful. Science tells us that our entry into the world is the product of chance and has no meaning other than...(read more)

EFFORTLESSNESS

2008-07-21T19:59:00Z

I think this post has been percolating for more than twenty years. When I first read Seth I knew I was entering a realm where the questions I had as a child were about to be answered. The problem was, however, that I was an adult, and as such had already developed to a fine point the beliefs of my culture. There had always been a part of me that knew our reality was different than the reality we were being taught, but what I didn’t realize when I came upon Seth, was that I had already been hypnotized...(read more)

Fear is Fear is Fear....

2008-03-11T15:45:00Z

You may have noticed that we are in the midst of the presidential primary season here in the US. McCain has wrapped up the Republican nomination, but Obama and Clinton are still slugging it out. Both Obama and Clinton have disavowed Bush and his fear mongering politics, but Clinton has been playing the same fear card that has disguised itself as economics. Fear is fear, whether it is a fear of terrorism or a fear of losing your job and not being able to provide for your family. There is also the...(read more)

Ouch! That Hurt

2008-02-28T19:11:00Z

I don’t know how you feel about it – although I have my suspicions – but I hated being a victim . Whether I was a victim of an accident, or someone’s harsh words, or an angry wasp, it never felt good. Something just didn’t seem right about it. For some reason I believed part of my early religious education that said we were endowed with free will. It didn’t say we were endowed with free will some of the time and it didn’t say we were endowed with free will only until such time that God decided to...(read more)

I Second That Emotion.....

2008-02-14T19:33:00Z

If we all really pay attention we would find that a major component of our human experience is emotion . Virtually everything we do generates an emotion. Sit in a comfortable chair and we feel relaxed. Jump in a hot shower and we feel comforted. Hugging a puppy makes us feel good. Being unexpectedly hugged by someone who has just run ten miles makes us feel gross. Your boyfriend forgets your birthday and you feel sad and maybe mad. Name the experience and an emotion will be attached to it, even if...(read more)

Doctor, Doctor Give Me The News.....

2008-02-12T17:50:00Z

It has taken me quite some time to square away in my head how to reconcile my beliefs about modern medicine with my understanding of reality creation. Both have evolved over time. Since this is a belief driven reality in that beliefs heavily influence perception, which actually creates our reality, I started out with the faulty notion, “It’s ONLY a belief.” I also erroneously deduced that the operative belief was the one I THOUGHT I believed, rather than the one that was expressed in the moment....(read more)

Re-meh meh remember member

2008-02-07T19:08:00Z

Here’s something that we have all experienced in one form or another. About two weeks ago, maybe more, the child of a dear friend of mine was attacked by several Rottweilers. He’s a tough and brave little dude, but was badly chewed up. I told my wife about it (my memory of this telling is quite clear) and, as expected, she was aghast; asking me all kinds of questions about the incident. Two days later I gave her an update and was informed that she had no idea the little guy had been attacked. She...(read more)

Personal Responsibility

2008-01-30T20:11:00Z

I don’t know of a single person who, at one time or another, hasn’t felt responsible for another human being. In particular we feel responsible for our children, but we also feel responsible for the feelings our actions may create in others. I want to talk about personal responsibility, but I am going to do it by rephrasing part of an Elias transcript (session 593) and adding some of my own thoughts. The issue of personal responsibility involves turning your attention away from yourself and onto...(read more)

Coffee

2008-01-25T15:42:00Z

This appeared in the news on 1/21/2008. “Drinking a couple cups of coffee a day has long been considered safe during pregnancy, but a new study finds that even this modest amount of coffee could double a woman’s risk of miscarriage.” So, what choices do we have when confronted with this kind of information? If we don’t drink coffee it doesn’t impact us at all, but if you are a woman, pregnant and a coffee fanatic then this kind of info probably gave you the shakes. It seems to me that science has...(read more)

The Chooser

2008-01-10T17:19:00Z

Choice is a big word that carries some big weight. What bigger freedom is there than the freedom to choose? But what is it, exactly, that chooses. Historically we have given the honor of choosing to the conscious mind. That is to say that if we did not consciously choose what happens to us then what happened to us was not through choice. The thinking goes that if I stub my toe it was certainly not through choice. I did not say to myself before stubbing my toe: “Hey, I’m going to stub my toe on the...(read more)

Knowing, Trust and Doubt

2007-11-02T18:05:00Z

I have recently come to an awareness of the power of knowing, trust and doubt. I have come to understand them more as feelings than words and definitions, which are symbolic of the feelings they evoke. Knowing is different than my understanding that 2+2=4, or that my cat’s name is Magic. True knowing requires no THOUGHT. My reaching for my cup of coffee that sits before me, bringing it to my lips and taking a sip is knowing. I projected a desire of wanting a sip of coffee and just did it. I didn’t...(read more)

Gideon McGee's Dream: Chapter Nine

2007-09-11T18:06:00Z

To speed the Earth’s birth and evolution into the span of a mere thirty minutes was a feat that no humanly-built computer could ever hope to duplicate, at least not the way Gideon was about to see it. He hung suspended in the blackness that filled the gap between the moon and Earth, while Zacharaias displayed before him the unimaginable power, splendor, and beauty that is the Earth. He watched as spiraling gases condensed to form a red-hot orb tens of thousands of miles in circumference. He watched...(read more)

Gideon McGee's Dream: Chapter Eight

2007-09-06T14:22:00Z

The Diamond Universe was much like Gideon’s own, but like any twin there were many subtle differences. It occurred to Gideon that he knew the name of the Diamond Universe, but didn’t know the name of his own, so he asked his guide. “They all belong to you,” Zack replied. Maybe they all belong to me, but I live in another Universe. What’s the name of the Universe in which I live?” Zack smiled. “You live in them all, Gideon, but if you mean the one where you lie at the bottom of Round Pond, it is called...(read more)

Gideon McGee's Dream: Chapter Seven

2007-08-16T18:05:00Z

“You didn’t have much to say,” Gideon said as he and Zacharaias sped away from the Land of the Gatekeeper and back through the door through which they entered. “The visit wasn’t for me, Gideon. Millions of years ago a guide, much like myself, first introduced me to the Land of the Gatekeeper. Lessons once learned can be remembered at any time.” “What lessons are those?” “You speak of luck and of unfairness just as I did long ago. The lesson of the Gatekeeper is that as long as you believe luck and...(read more)

Gideon McGee's Dream: Chapter Six

2007-08-07T15:34:00Z

As the galaxies sped by, Gideon thought of the similarities between Moebius and Earth. Although he had done little or no traveling, the technological age in which he lived brought the wonders of his home planet to the twenty-five-inch screen in his living room. On those occasions when he was not allowed to watch MTV because his parents were watching NOVA or National Geographic, Gideon forced himself to view the mysteries of his own world. In the quietness and solitude of his mind Gideon reluctantly...(read more)
