I AM in everything – and everything is in me (and you)

By OlliS

What would be the simplest inquiry of dropping your body-mind, your ordinary ego-based consciousness that says, “I am this and I am that” describing different qualities of your outer being?

WHO AM I? ask again: WHO AM I? and again: WHO AM I?

What is arising in your consciousness?

You are aware of your feelings, so you cannot be your feelings – Who are you then?

You are aware of your thoughts, so you are not your thoughts – Who are you?

You are aware of the snow flakes flying in the sky, so you are not those flakes flying – Who are you?

You are not objects anywhere, not thoughts in the mind, not feelings in the body…. BUT you can witness them all.

You ARE that Witness. And so is everyone else since we all have this… and that.

People typically feel trapped by life, trapped by the universe, because they imagine that they are actually in the universe, and therefore the universe can squish them like a bug. This is not true. You are not in the universe; the universe is in you.” - Ken Wilber, One Taste, p. 448.

Our every action has a re-action in the Universe, which is like a mirror answering to us right the way we send out the action. It’s all reflecting back to us, whether negative or positive. Our every thought has a consequence too, even though it might be hard to realize. In this timeless and non-local quantum universe there are no distances: our thoughts, actions and re-actions travel faster than the speed of light. We are sending out information every now and now and now, and all of that has an effect into our surroundings as well as into ourselves. What I mean by this, is that the sense of separateness is an illusion, a culture and ego-based delusion that makes us miserable and detached not only from ourselves, but of others, the nature and the whole biosphere.

I would like people to treat themselves and love themselves as he/she/it was the dearest person/thing on earth. It’s all reflecting from you if you can love yourself as you would love your closest partner. Because he/she is you, and you are him/her. The key to understanding the universe is the realization that you are its smallest part and at the same time its largest part.

All of the information in the Universe is at hand at every possible moment; we just have to attune ourselves into the right frequency by regaining our connection to the spirit and the unborn. Spirit or the Field, or whatever name, the tilt of Eros, play of Lila, is what is creating all this that we see, hear, smell, sense and experience; and we are all part of that… in fact we are nothing but that.

Most of the great physicists have been also mystics; they have understood the nature of the universe, the non-locality, non-separateness and that we are in fact all connected, all the same face of the unborn.

“Consciousness is a singular of which the plural is unknown. It is not possible that this unity of knowledge, feeling, and choice which you call your own should have sprung into being from nothingness at a given moment not so long ago; rather, this knowledge, feeling, and choice are essentially eternal and unchangeable and numerically one in all people, nay in all sensitive beings.

The conditions for your existence are almost as old as the rocks. For thousand of years men have striven and suffered and begotten and women have brought forth in pain. A hundred years ago, another man sat on this spot; like you he gazed with awe and yearning in his heart at the dying light on the glaciers. Like you he was begotten of man and born of woman. He felt pain and brief joy as you do. Was he someone else? Was it not yourself?

- Erwin Schroedinger (Physicist, Nobel Prize winner)

Was this not you? You are humanity itself. Therefore love the world, and love all people, and love the Kosmos, because you are its only Self.

Nassim Haramein, a mystic, cosmologist and astrophysicist has with his resonance Project presented the possible quantum physics solution to this deep realization: “This significant paper marks a new paradigm in the world of quantum theory, as it describes the nuclei of an atom as a mini black hole, where protons are attracted to each other by gravitation rather than some mysterious undefined ‘strong force’. This radical new view of the quantum world produces a unification of the forces and appropriately predicts measured values for the nucleon of an atom.”

Whether or not you believe what Nassim Haramein here presents it is obvious that the current situation in our world has to do with the thing that we think we are separate beings from others. We have set certain boundaries that say “mine” or “me”. Not until we truly understand this can we “save” Earth and act like it is part of us… in fact we/I/You are/am the Earth.

The simplest thing to do is to think how you could do things, send thoughts and react into others as it would be of the greatest help for greatest number of people. When you are creating positive vibes, positive frequencies into the Universe it will be heard. Help yourself, help others. 1+1 is not-two; it’s infinite. By adjusting our consciousness into creating as much love, goodness, kindness and health into the world can we best help not only ourselves but everyone/thing else too.

“Raindrops are beating, a large puddle is forming, there on the balcony. It all floats in Emptiness, in purest Transparency, with no one here to watch it. If there is an I, it is all that is arising, right now and right now and right now. My lungs are the sky; those mountains are my teeth; the soft clouds are my skin; the thunder is my heart beating time to the timeless; the rain itself, the tears of our collective estate, here where nothing is really happening at all.” - Ken Wilber, One Taste, p.429.

Here is a task for you: Everytime you realize that you are in an uncomfortable situation, facing it the millionth time and reacting the way you usually do (with resistance) decide to attune into the moment, stop for a while and act from a place of love. There are thousands of these situations in all of our lives and only by changing our reactions to those can we truly grow.

Existence and relationship

By OlliS

”Relationship is the mirror in which you discover yourself. Without relationship you are not; to be is to be related; to be related is existence”. -

J. Krishnamurti

This is how Krishnamurti describes human relationship in his direct and maybe slightly laconic style of writing. Relationships in human societies have been intriguing my mind lately when I have been thinking how I see myself and how others see me. Surely this is a ”thing” that is not permanent, it is a form which is constantly changing. Anyhow, without relationship to things, people, thoughts, gestures, I am not. Let’s take an example: I meet a nice person for the first time and we connect. We create a mutual ”we space” which is essential that we understand us. We get to know each other and that other person is now in my life, in other words exists to me. Before we met, he or she didn’t exist to me. We weren’t related to each other before that and that means we didn’t exist in the same world. This is how relationship creates existence and how every single person has his or her OWN REALITY, own world. We create our worlds. Nothing is the same, we perceive things and other people independently, so we possibly couldn’t say or see how other persons perceive this world. It wasn’t until mankind had developed enough to invent mutual language was there really the possibility of seeing oneself in relation to the other. This happened roughly 10000-20000 years ago while typhonic-magic stage developed to agrarian-mythic stage. Concepts and mental realms developed with symbols and images. People began to differentiate from bodymind to body and mind, they didn’t anymore see themselves as only existence with nature but as separate human beings. This was an inevitable developmental phase, which created it’s own problems. Only after the rational stage developed to the trans-rational and integrated pre-rational mythic stage to rational stage was the separateness able to be integrated; transcending and including our separate selves and integrating our selves to the great web of life. Now this wasn’t the original purpose of this text but you see how sometimes my mind goes a little faster than I write. Let’s get back to the original topic.

Life is experience in relationship. There is no such thing as living in isolation. To me life is relationship, which is expressed through contact with things, with people and with ideas. In understanding relationship we shall have a capacity to meet life fully, adequately. Usually we use relationship as a means of furthering achievement, furthering transformation, furthering becoming. But really, relationship is a means of self-discovery, because relationship is TO BE; it is existence. Relationship is a mirror in which I can see myself. It can bring unconscious shadows into existence and into your consciousness, which can cause anxiety. You see yourself as a mirror, as a reflection of the other, which is really you watching in the mirror. But most of us see in relationship, in that mirror, things we would rather see; we do not see what is. We would rather idealize, escape, we would rather live in the future than understand that relationship in the immediate present.

I have in some of my texts mentioned of Spiral Dynamics, which is a great developmental psychology model. And why I am briefly writing about it here is simply because of the importance of it in relationships and how people at different stages see themselves in relation to other. People at first tier, for example at orange or green vMeme can see only their point of view in that particular stage or wave. This also reflects to the relationships they are in: Relationship with another is often a process of isolation. We are really not concerned with another; though we talk a great deal about it, actually we are not concerned. We are related to someone only so long as that relationship gratifies us, so long as it gives us a refuge, so long as it satisfies us. Put it bluntly and maybe a little sarcastically: If I do not please you, you get rid of me; if I please you, you accept me either as your wife or as your neighbour or as your friend. This is true for most of the 1st tier relationships, which are based on Maslow’s hierarchy’s “wanting needs”. When people evolve and they develop to second tier, now opening them to the spiritual realm, realizing the universal oneness in all, only then can relationship shift from “wanting needs” to “being needs”.

 

If there is real relationship between two people, which means there is communion between them, then the implications are enormous. Then there is no isolation; there is love and not responsibility or duty. So very often relationship is sought where there is mutual satisfaction, gratification. When you do not find that satisfaction you change relationship. We talk about love, we talk about responsibility, duty, but is there really love when relationship is based in gratification? Now this might become as a shock, but there is no relationship in love. It is only when you love something and expect a return of your love that there is a relationship. When you love, that is when you give yourself over to something entirely, wholly, and then there is no relationship. Only love. Only being in the mutual inter-subjective we space in perfect harmony.

Relationship is self-revelation and love exists only when there is self-forgetfulness, when there is complete communion. After all, we are all one, there is no separateness.

The Future of Love

By OlliS

listen audio here: Gafni & Wilber – The Future Of Love

In this lively exchange Ken and Marc dive into the following questions:

  • What is love?
  • How do we find it, nurture and sustain it?
  • How does our conscious participation change the evolution of love?
  • What are the structural patterns in the Evolution of Love?  
  • What are the evolutionary Integral skills of love and relationship that have the power to deepen our realization and to liberate our true and unique self?
  • What new gifts for the world can emerge from this evolution?

What happens to Earth on Christmas?

By OlliS

I came into this topic in our meditation group a few weeks ago. Our meditation “task” was to feel and sense what´s happening on earth and to earth on Christmas.

Rationally thinking and that´s how most of the people do think and live would probably come up with ideas like general slowing down, giving and getting (presents), sharing time with loved ones but also contradiction, arguing and conflicts. Christmas isn´t always the happiest moment of the year. Anyway my/our task was not to think but to feel how the Earth goes through a change on vibrations and energy, a temporary paradigm shift.

In my meditation I first started to see the Earth from outer space, but the “picture” rapidly changed to a bright sphere of light. We (our group) were standing on a circular form and I could feel the energy from all of our third eye -chakras flowing on a circular motion gathering together and penetrating to the earth. Suddenly I started to see triangles, upward and downward ones, probably symbolising male and female joining together in a circle.

After flowing in a circle with triangles I started to fly around Earth and see the whole noosphere changing…  what I mean by that is that I could actually see and sense the universal love around Earth, which was surrounded by a cloud like filter fulfilled with love. This sensation or vision was also supported by fellow meditators in the group.

I usually get strong physical sensations during meditation, not that much of visions or colours. In this particular meditation I felt overwhelming love and my heart-chakra was about to explode! My fingers were really swollen and I was fulfilled with soothing sensations and surrounding love.

As a conclusion I feel that Christmas is very important to every people on Earth and the Earth aswell as a planet. Rush, hurry and angry thoughts switch to relaxation, calming down and positive thoughts….  love brings us all together, so why don´t we make every day a  Christmas!
