Enlightenment and Emotional Blackmail

"I can't believe this person says they're enlightened. So judgmental! What a hypocrite!"

What many are actually saying, with those above words, deep down within, is: "I can't believe this person isn't going along with me and what I want."

I know, because I've been caught up in this web of controversy myself, which had me contemplate both sides in order to understand this dilemma. I've had mental blocks before and I've tried to understand others possibly dealing with similar situations. Since I've had some time to think about this, I decided to share my feelings on it.

The word enlightenment shouldn't be used as a form of accusation or emotional blackmail and that's what I'm seeing on social media. To me, this indicates immaturity. Has it ever dawned on anyone that enlightenment opens our eyes and not just our soul? Once we connect, we see ... we sense ... we know ... we understand.

After reaching this enlightenment, why would it be reasonable to become unknowing again? Yet, there are those whose energies reek of density and would prefer to bring an enlightened person back down to their level of darkness instead of reaching a higher awareness themselves. Why wouldn't any enlightened person know this?

Why wouldn't enlightened people know that those "judging" accusations are possibly due to these people actually judging themselves; projecting their feelings onto another? Are they accusing this person, of "knowing," of being unenlightened, judgmental, and hypocritical as a form of emotional blackmail in order to force their density onto another? Reverse psychology? A guilt trip? 

For instance, I consider myself fairly enlightened. Does this mean I have to accept anything someone does or says without question? Absolutely not! I wouldn't be very enlightened, after all, if I did. Especially, if one's reasoning isn't reasonable, based on my awareness. Should I placate that insanity?

Think about it. Am I being judgmental or am I preserving my soul from another's negativity? Wouldn't an enlightened person sense density and protect their awareness? If they decide to share their awareness and another doesn't choose to learn from it, that's fine. Move on with love. However, if this person, who doesn't choose to learn, also decides to point a finger, out of hostility or stupidity, then who's truly being judgmental? 

Here's another example. Suppose, I choose to show people a light switch, figuratively speaking, to help them see the light. I offer to do this based on what I know, yet they ignore it or turn the light back off after turning it on. Does that make someone, that's enlightened, judgmental if they choose to walk away from this darkness that others choose to live in? Because I choose to walk away, would this make me hypocritical ... or ... self-perserving?

Therefore, when you choose to call someone, who has reached a higher level of awareness, a judgmental person for sharing their truth, their wisdom, you could actually be looking into your own soul and seeing your judgments. Especially, if the emotions of this enlightened person is without anger and only sharing their opinion out of love for humanity. Whereas, another's emotions may be self-serving, uneducated or unreasonable.

I've mentioned this before, on my blog site, but it bares repeating. God once told me, during a meditation, a very long time ago: "We allow people to be who they want but allowing doesn't mean putting up with." Was God being judgmental, because he didn't choose to put up with density either? Why wouldn't he know how to see the real truth within another and choose not to participate? Why wouldn't I, or others trained like me, know how to do the same?

Enlightened people would know those words of accusation are being used for emotional blackmail in order to provoke. As I said above, we would read this as immaturity. Furthermore, when truly enlightened people speak about another's judgment, its done with love, with discernment, because they're seeing the density in another's heart that they may once have had in their own ... in this lifetime or another. When an unenlightened person speaks of another's judgments, they normally speak with ignorance or hate. Generally, it's done with malice or manipulation. We feel this.

In addition, if you're accusing an enlightened person of being judgmental, think first before you speak. What are you doing and why? What's your motives? After all, we may already know them. We may have already walked that same path, once upon a time, and choose not to do it again.

Does that make us a judgmental hypocrite? No ... it makes us enlightened.

Forgiveness Takes Love and Understanding

Many years ago, a student once asked me: "God said to honor our parents, but how can someone honor a parent who has abused them?"

I replied: "By understanding and forgiving. By taking the time to truly know another's path and letting go of the pain that was created by being on the same path. Loving yourself enough to do this."

First, it takes strength and patience to let go of the anger. Holding onto it will only hurt you, not another. That, alone, would be a great incentive in letting go. 

Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting. Learn from your lesson and release it with love. If not, you may be challenged to face it again. That, too, would be another incentive towards understanding and forgiving.

We are only human. Just because our Divine Creator said to love one another, he didn't expect us to always like one another. He knew we would have differences of opinions. He also knew we would find a way around them.

This takes loving yourself enough to allow the understanding of what was unknown to you in order to forgive what needs forgiving. It's like giving yourself a hug. A loving hug can beautify souls and bring meaning to life.

Time Doesn't Exist?

Back in 2011, a You Tube subscriber asked about time not existing. As we awaken, we're often presented with the quandry of time and space illusions or delusions. This is what I decided to share.

~~~~~~~~~~
Albert Einstein once said: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." So I will see if I can keep it simple with answering your question.

Yes, we all live in a world of time, because it is what we created to give us an understanding of our current 3-D space we exist within. It is why we created words like today, yesterday, tomorrow, afternoon, morning and evening; to explain our emotions, of our moments, to another.

Yet, within our mind there may not be time, per se, due to our ability of astral travel: we can be in another area of the universe at the same time, but with our minds and not our physical bodies.

For instance, our body's time can be on planet earth and our mind's time can be on another planet. In 3-D, I am here in the south but another being could be 3-D in the north, yet we both can be, with our minds, in the same time or no time - depends on how you look at it.

Most people don't understand that, because most people don't know how to or are unaware of mind communication. Using this as an example, there is no distance, no time, no space between another being during that particular event of mind communication, even if that being is on another planet in their 3-D time. If that being and I wish to communicate, we can astral project to one another and we will both be in our individual time (i.e., physical) but in no particular space time (i.e., non-physical or mind).

So, you see, time can exist or not exist, depending on what that person is perceiving as time in their current reality. Whatever that realty is. Wherever that reality is. I hope that helps.
~~~~~~~~~~

Mind communication is similar to what we do when we communicate by phone to a friend in another country. We are here - they are there. We communicate across space and, possibly, different times. In that moment, time does exists, within each mind, due to the location where we live. Yet, at the same time, it could also be considered non-existent, because the phone, or mind communication, helped us remove, to some degree, time and space. However, in order to keep ourselves grounded, or feel more at ease, we tend to choose our 3D time-space reality to give us a stronger foundation; a sort of comfort zone.

Space Time - Linear Time

A friend posted a meme which I had shared with her to give her a chuckle. We both knew it was silly but sometimes being silly helps overcome the bad stuff we tend to experience. On the meme it was written: life sucks, then you die; then you're reincarnated and life sucks again. Most were amused but one of her friends made a comment that opened up an interesting conversation. 

 

In response to the meme, he said: "Sort of. Everyone and everything exists forever in time that is space time. You are there in your past and future forever. Someone far enough red shifted or blue shifted can see you being born or your death.  FACT!  You will always be there even if the Earth is destroyed. Linear time is an illusion a western social and economic convention and contrivance. Other cultures all over the world put no stock in it at all. It has been a major source of conflict between western and other cultures as a matter of fact. Native Americans  and Euro cultures have always clashed over what they call "Indian Time" same all over the world. I do not pretend to understand space time. Who does?  My personal feelings are similar to indigenous cultures Animism. I feel that what we call space time is part of the bones of a greater living universe of which we are part."

 

I decided to share only the first part of what he wrote in my blog. As I mentioned above, there was a little more conversation which followed. I don't know everything but I'm willing to share what I know and get feedback. I like a friendly, intellectual debate. In my response below, I shared my initial response to his comment as well as a little more for clarity. 

 

Also, I decided to share my You Tube video (below) regarding Parallel Universe - Multi-Dimensions Plus for anyone wanting to review it as well. It will go more into what I was taught with all the complexities behind it.  

  

My response plus: In my understanding of space time, this is true - based on our current awareness of non-linear time. Yet, I've learned to be open to anything that may explain things better when we're mentally mature enough to receive it.

 

All we can do is live in each conscious moment, wherever or whatever that particular moment of consciousness is for each individual. As a teacher once told me: our future can change with our ever changing emotions. This means our "soul past" could change something and we would still be in our current moment without knowing anything ever occurred. Makes sense to me.

 

Besides, who wants to live in a world that's constantly depressed? It takes us consciously changing it, to keep improving even with stumbling or falling occasionally. Those are all part of life's lessons. All part of growing up.

 

I've seen my past, I've relived much of it in this current life via my mind. I know that my physical mind is living now in this moment and I can also use it to see my future when I wish. Each moment will be my next conscious moment and hopefully my "future me" will keep me informed to the best decisions for "our soul path." 

 

Seeing my future can afford me a step above others, who choose not to, in deciding to change it and knowing if I can. Hopefully my future me agrees in productive change or we would all still be cave dwellers stuck in a rut. Of course, it would still be my individual free will versus collective free will. We deal with this attitude every day with the laws of the land: making laws, collectively, and changing them, often to the chagrin of the individual.

 

However, I don't chose to see too much into my future though. It may tend to block me from enjoying this conscious moment. Like knowing when you're going to die and how. Sort of like knowing about a surprise birthday party. Lots of variables when you look at life like that. But I do appreciate my guidance warning me of danger. Or maybe it's their way of keeping me true to my path - whatever that may be. I tend to go with the flow of what feels right, whenever possible.

 

I've also learned that linear time has a purpose too. It was developed to help us maintain a sort of mental grounding in a form of a denser reality that gives us a base of logic to build on and to avoid being a loss soul in an abundance of non-linear fantasy. A form of sanity in a sometimes insane reality.

 

The "conflict," from what I've seen, is from those "who know" and are teaching those that haven't mature mentally enough to understand. Those are the same ones who should know better and not create the conflict. They should know it's similar to giving a gun to a two year old or teaching a two year old the facts of life. Timing is everything. You can't always beat any truth into everyone.

Question: Walk-in Soul - Possession

I had someone ask a question regarding walk-ins and possession on my video (link) and I thought I'd share my answer here.

 

~~~~~

 

A walk-in is only an interchange of souls and done for numerous reasons, but anything or anyone (physical or non-physical) can "possess" us at any time - good or bad.

 

These are the things that may affect a person's current mind which might create an obsession, for example. People can be possesed by a pay check due to their lifestyle, a relationship, or a bad habit. Maybe due to a desire to help others. Many things that can "possess" someone to do strange or beautiful things because of it.

 

People can even have past life emotions that can guide or possess. Lots of things to consider when it comes to possession. Not all is evil. Some may be the "influence" of guidance to keep us on our chosen path.

 

I hope this helps.

Children: Solid Foundation Values

My mom believed that learning started in the cradle. She knew that teaching values early on was important. As I grew older, I learned that these values were outside of any faith one has. This isn't a faith based ideology; it is the teachings of solid foundations that all children need. They learn to be a team player at home and eventually in their future environment.

Those foundations are, but not limited to: learning to limit their wants and desires, learning that hearing no is just as important as hearing yes, understanding love and compassion, abiding by the rules and regulations within the family structure for peace and harmony, learning to be respectful and honorable, learning honesty and integrity, understanding the rights and needs of others and learning about give and take for fairness.

Children should be taught good values with firmness. They should be aware that bad choices will lead to disciplinarian consequences. A parent should not turn a deaf ear to whining and complaining without letting children know that this too will have consequences. Children are not stupid. They can learn to manpulate parents. They learn by observing and will do what they can to avoid those consequences; including wearing a parent out with crying.

Many times, it seems that a child's objective is to avoid discipline and push boundaries. A parent's objective should be teaching values with understanding and love, even if that includes tough love. Tough love isn't abusive love. 

In my personal experience, I have learned that children not only need but appreciate loving discipline and solid foundations, as it gives them grounding and prevents them from being unruly at home and in public. You cannot let them run wild at home and expect them to be calm in public. This will only cause them confusion. Establishing these values will create peace, love, joy and harmony for everyone.

If parents cannot teach these solid values, they will have the opposite. This may create chaos, not only within the child but, eventually, within the world ... as you sow, so shall you reap.

As far as dealing with children who are manipulative, my blog on how to control this might help. One of the worse thing that can happen is a child learning that their parent was similar when younger. Nip it in the bud. Tell them that we don't want history repeating itself. We're supposed to be learning to improve ourselves as humans. Unless they prefer being a wild animal living on a farm ... there's always that next lifetime. ;-)

Easier to Change Attitude Than Color

I have many friends of various skin color, faith and culture. One of them is a dear friend, Mon, who wrote a blog called: "As vast as the universe." It's about her feelings of being black and dealing with attitude more from black than white, as well as so many other awesome things that I asked permission if I could share it.

Mon's blog is base on her insight and experience. Below are just a few excerpts to entice you to read more from it. Thanks.

~~~~~~~~~~

I'll tell you something, growing up, whenever I had an issue, I don't think I ever assumed it was because I'm black.

I've had more issues with black than I have had with whites. Does that make me racist?

I don't ever base anything on race, simply on attitude.

I've never EVER, had a white person shame me over anything like this. Am I a white person lover? What the heck does that really mean??

People I will give my time to are those who are respectable. When we can disagree without name calling and actually talk about it, this is worth my time.

I've taken two stands in my life. One was to release myself of the bounds of religion in search of some truth. Two, to release myself of the bound of skin color and choosing to make statements that my skin color is what holds me back.

There's this thing going about that black people can't make it in the world. Who says this? Who make this true?

The idea of skin color may very well be an illusion. I've always imagined that if we were all similar, we'd still try to find something to separate ourselves.

I'm not sure what some blacks are trying to prove to anyone.

Why do you have to feel the need to be above someone? When in reality, you are just a small piece of something bigger. In this vast universe, (and I really want you to go to google and look at a picture of the universe) is this really the only thing you can worry about?

We can learn something from this. An ant is small, yet it feels it's purpose in life is much bigger than we see it. Does it make it any less worthy to life? No. Honey bees are small, and yet they provide us with life as well. A simple cloud in the sky, among many, is just as important as all the rest as it provides us with shade.

I'll say one thing, I think the reason why I've gotten along with white people, is because I see them as people lol I don't try to fight with them over something as small as something we can't control.

The thing that I don't want people to do, is to waste their lives on trying to change something outside of themselves, when in reality, the true changing was to be from within.

Elementals

Like many things that can morph out of control from the original concept, elementals are no different. Distortion can occur with any truth over time, mainly due to human error input, which often has me wondering why. Maybe it's to prove it's nonsense. To move us on due to the confusion and discrepancies.

My spiritual training has moved me away from such medieval ideas and concepts that don't have merit with me as it does others. To each their own, but I wish they would tell it like it is as opposed to all the fanciful concepts that it has changed into from when it originally began.

This is why I decided to share this link about when it started and why. Notice that it states that an elemental is a mythic being. All myths can have a basis of truth but I find that most long ago supernatural "truths" are cover-ups to what was really going on in the universe.

Besides, how would they know back then? They didn't have the technology we have today. However, to have the technology and not investigate facts is ridiculous in this day and age.

Please, if it's important, do your research. Don't take anything, especially today, at face value.

Wikipedia: An elemental is a mythic being described in occult and alchemical works from around the time of the European Renaissance and particularly elaborated in the 16th century works of Paracelsus. There are four elemental categories: gnomes, undines, sylphs, and salamanders. These correspond to the classical elements of antiquity:  earth, water, air and fire. Aether (quintessence) was not assigned an elemental.

Desensitized

Occasionally, I read things that people say about something being terrible but the flow of emotions in the universe isn't in accord with the sentiment expressed. It may be only a brief expression of emotion before moving on to the next subject.  Because of this, I'm beginning to wonder if our current "awareness overload" is desensitizing humanity.

Here's why.

When people continually do horrible things, in the world, it makes others fearful. This may lead them to do horrible things in return, due to this fear. It's the "shoot first ask questions later" mentality. We become less concerned in harming another due to this fear of needing to survive. 

Add in apathy, due to being scammed way too often or inundated with other's needs. It's not just our family, friends or neighbors, we now have to save the world ... often. It becomes overwhelming and the "who cares anymore" attitude begins. Many times, leading to limited feelings over another's emotional stress or sorrow. 

Let's not forget indifference, due to this desensitizing. We are bombarded daily with a plethora of negative images and words which are overloading our minds. We see them with barely any knee jerk reaction. Movie death and dismemberment merges with real life situations. What's real anymore?

Delusions are running rampant as well. Earlier, as I was wrapping up this blog, a friend commented on another blog of mine that she's seeing a lot of delusional people and questioned why this is occurring. I told her, "These delusional attitudes are part of crossing boundaries. Makes me question why too." I began to think that maybe delusion is helping to counterbalance the impact of the negativity some are feeling. As in, I can't take anymore, so I'll fantasize to help me handle this evil world. Maybe they feel it's the lessor of other escapism evils: drugs, alcohol or suicide.

Sadly, all the aforementioned programming seems to be a part of our world mindset and getting stronger. Those who aren't in this mindset may catch up soon enough if this flow continues. It's only a matter of time before they too will know fear, apathy, indifference or even delusion. They too will become desensitized unless we can turn the tide. Or, is the tide meant to be turn?

Manipulation 101

Many times, I wonder about the thinking of some people and shake my head. It's okay to show pictures of breastfeeding moms because it's "natural." And ... oh look at the cute baby ... that might work to shame people from having any opposing opinion. Seriously?

Peeing and pooping is "natural" too, folks, but do we really want to be inundated by pictures of it? Even from animals? Maybe we can just throw in a bear to distract us from seeing "this" natural thing too. That should do it. Not! You know thinking will go beyond that and eventually boundaries. It's called programming.

I'm still amazed how easy people are manipulated. Don't watch TV because the commercials are brainwashing but movies and social media aren't? Tsk-tsk! Thank goodness we still have a check and balance system that can help people from going too far into the rabbit hole. After all, having sex is natural too. Think about it.
