Default Latest: Adam and Eve get 1000 billion life sentences for stealing fruit!

Extract from the Daily Universe, 22nd day of creation, 3:30 pm.

Adam (unemployed) and Eve (his significant other), residents of the Garden of Eden, were sentenced today to 1000 billion consecutive lifetimes of hard labour, pain and suffering, for being caught tampering with the mother frequency by stealing an apple.

Adam commented: “We just wanted to see what would happen. We didn’t know we were doing anything wrong”.

The Archangel Michael commented, “There is too much of this sort of thing going on. It’s high time something was done. The judge has done the right thing in making an example of them. Let’s hope we all learn something from this.”

Adam and Eve have 24 hours to pack their belongings (two fig leaves) and leave the Garden of Eden.

The Eden Garden Committee are currently discussing security measures to prevent further vandalism to the hallowed Tree of Knowledge. From now on, the tree is strictly out of bounds.

Hissing Sid, a frequent slithery visitor to the garden commented, “They deserve all they get, the schmucks!”

************************************************** ********

The story of the Garden of Eden and the banishment of Adam and Eve, is not some silly tale which some deranged individuals claim to have happened all those years ago. It is actually happening now, every day in our own realities.

The reason we are here (unless you are a god like prophet) is because, through our own free will, we have knocked our receivers (like the satellite dish) from their true position. We are experiencing bad reception, distorted frequencies and these are mirrored in our reality. We are intently focused on this reality and spend too much time wondering about it and trying to dissect it, because we know something is not quite right. We have forgotten what it is like to be one with our true frequencies (the Garden of Eden).

There are two aspects to you: there is the essential you, or soul essence, which generates frequencies, and there is the self which experiences those frequencies as reality. You can’t have one without the other. They co-exist and are one.

God experiences himself by being the Word (Christ). If there was no Word, then he wouldn’t know what it was like to be God. Christ is God experiencing God.

We are created in the same way (in his image and likeness), like little gods, with the same kind of soul essence. We experience our soul essence by being aware as the self.

The self is both a receptor of the frequencies from the soul essence, a decoder/interpreter of those frequencies, and an interactive participant in the results. This does not mean to say there are two you’s, any more than we can say there are two Gods.

The problem with the self is that it often reacts to the results it perceives in its reality. The reaction creates a feedback loop which alters or distorts its home frequencies which are then fed back into the receptor – a bit like a guitarist creating reverb and distortion by playing notes back into the speaker which are picked up and sent through again, creating more distortion.

What happens when you focus on something? You get more of it. You create a feedback loop. How does that happen? Well, what is the one thing that consciousness loves to do?

It loves to copy. Have you ever watched children closely when they play games? All they do is copy adults, they pretend to be their parents. What do little kids love doing on holiday – getting up on stage every evening for the kids disco, and copying the dances of the girl running it, dancing to ‘Macarena’, ‘Agadoo’, etc.

So, what does consciousness do when it observes the results of its decoded frequencies on its reality screen – it copies them back onto its frequencies, further distorting them, creating a feedback loop, and thus creating more and more of the same.

The more consciousness focuses on the screen, the more it believes in what it sees. It is a circular, self-validating reality. We have sentenced ourselves. This is the state of being ‘outside’ the Garden of Eden.

Default Summing up

This is basically a summary of the conclusions I have reached after musing about frequencies, life, etc over the last couple of weeks:

1) You are soul essence.

2) In your true state, you channel pure frequencies of light, love, beauty and harmony.

3) You experience these frequencies when you are conscious as a ‘self’, the ‘I’ which says ‘I am’. That is the purpose of the self - to experience, enjoy and magnify them.

4) You can only be conscious as the self. The self is animated by consciousness. As long as you are conscious, you have a self.

5) Saints and mystics have difficulty in describing states of ecstasy, where the self has temporarily vanished and they are existing just as soul in the eternal now, outside time. When they are conscious as self again, it is impossible to describe what happened, because the ‘self’ wasn’t there!

6) The self has free will.

7) The self interprets the frequencies it receives as it wishes (through free will).

8) This interpretation becomes ‘reality’ for the self.

9) The self often identifies with, and becomes fixated upon, this reality

10) In interpreting the frequencies, the self also modifies them and returns them, or mirrors them back, to the soul essence.

11) If there are distortions to the frequencies, they naturally rebound off soul essence, because they are not in harmony with it.

12) The distorted frequencies bounce back onto the self.

13) The self feels distorted frequencies as dissatisfaction or pain.

14) If the self puts more light and love onto the frequencies, they are accepted by soul essence, since they are in harmony.

15) The soul essence then expands and shines and returns even more ‘good’ frequencies to the self, which the self experiences as awe, wonder, joy, happiness, devotion, inner strength, composure and passion for life.

16) There is a continuous, circular flow of frequencies between the soul essence and the self.

I hope some of these points resonate with your frequencies.

You may find this authors books interesting I like his approach as well , I just finished reading "The Unfolding now" I want to get his series The Diamond Heart

The Unfolding Now - A.H. Almaas


Quote:
The Unfolding Now
Realizing Your True Nature through the Practice of Presence


From the Editor’s Preface

The hidden richness that rests in our life, in our heart, in our experience is here—not over there, in some better life, in some other house, in some other career, in some other relationship or country or spiritual school. One time, perhaps, we actually knew that—and then we forgot. From time to time, we are reminded by others of that richness, or we rediscover it ourselves. But over and over, we forget.

When we lose touch with the fullness of who we really are, when we ourselves cannot recognize or appreciate it, when it is invisible to us or seems inaccessible, the knowledge that we are the location and source of what we are seeking is only abstract information, irrelevant to our personal situation. It cannot affect who we are or how we live if we can’t find this richness in our immediate experience, can’t feel it or taste it or sense it directly. In fact, what we find is that most everything in our life works against our turning that knowledge into the currency of personal inner richness.

Thanks for the link, OS. I love the idea of finding richness inside oneself and not having to look externally for it - in money, public esteem, etc. All things are given to us in full measure from within.

It is so true!!!

here is a poem a friend sent me the other day in my email



Spiritual Warrior
Life offers us the opportunity to become a Spiritual Warrior. A warrior is one who bravely goes into those dark areas within themselves to ferret out the Truth of their being.
It takes great courage, stamina and endurance to become a Spiritual Warrior.
The path is narrow, the terrain rough and rocky. You will walk alone: through the dark caves, up those steep climbs and through the dense thick forest. You will meet your dark side. The faces of fear, deceit, and sadness all await your arrival.
No one can take this journey but you. There comes a time, in each of our lives, when we are given the choice to follow this path.
Should we decide to embark on this journey, we can never turn back.... Our lives are changed forever.
On this journey, there are many different places we can choose to slip into and hide. But the path goes on.
The Spiritual Warrior stays the course, wounded at times, exhausted and out of energy. Many times, the Warrior will struggle back to their feet to take only a few steps before falling again.
Rested, they forge on, continuing the treacherous path. The journey continues. The Spiritual Warrior stays the course. Weakened, but never broken.
One day, the battle, loneliness and desperate fights are over. The sun breaks through the clouds; the birds begin to sing their sweet melodies. There is a change in the energy. A deep change within the self.
The warrior has fought the courageous fight. The battle of the dark night of the soul is won. New energy now fills the Warrior. A new path is now laid before them. A gentler path filled with the inner-knowing of one who has personal empowerment.
With their personal battle won, they are filled with joy. A new awareness that they are one with the Spirit beams as they go forth to show others the way.
They are not permitted to walk the path for others. They can only love, guide and be a living example of the Truth of their being.

I can certainly relate to that imagery. Thank you for that.

What flashed into my consciousness as I was thinking about it was that the journey has already ended and we are already one with spirit. Our consciousness uses this thing called time to spin out the journey and experience every nuance of it– it might take a micro-second or it might take many years to complete. Consciousness controls the speed of the journey - fast forward, slow motion, or even rewind.

The apparent length of the journey is proportional to the amount of light/home frequencies we are consciously, or subconsciously, blocking out or distorting. Every time we remove a block and admit more light, we speed up towards completion/wholeness/nirvana.

The only reason I can think of why we would choose to experience such a journey in the first place is because we have the free will to do so.
