Is that esoteric enough? Something to think about. What do any of us really have control over? And again, what does any of us actually know? That’s the starting point – yet humanity lives in the land of conjecture and belief. That’s pretty remarkable in itself.
The Steering Steers Itself
The steering steers itself. It just does as much as ego will freak out over that one. Ours is to let go, oddly enough. Sure, there’s an element of delayed or apparent choice, or so it appears, but who chose what in your life? How did you or I get to where we are?
I know, this confronts “reason” and causality big time. And the free will thing is a big one. Sure we seem to bounce around in the pinball machine and appear to choose options, but do we? And to what extent? All I know is this aspect of apparent choice has many aspects worth exploring – honestly.
Blame, guilt, shame, victimhood, co-dependence, identification with our story, desperate self assertion – are all so real they appear to have controlled us. They haven’t. To use a simple metaphor, our boats are in a mighty current and our fiddling with what we think are controls are fundamentally inconsequential. We’re still in the mighty river. To nowhere and from nowhere. It just moves along and just is, “ising”. The ride is all there really is.
It takes getting used to. But you have to let your mind go
No desired outcome involved. No fulfillment or purpose, no meaning. It just rolls along. All of our mental, egoic or “foreign installment” related crap is just fretting against what is. All are stories within stories about what’s going on.
Does that put an end to all the angst? Because surrender is the true nature of the realized being. No doctrine, no teaching, no higher being. Just what is in the magnificence of it all. Therein is the real God we all sense. Trying to captivate it into a concept or rationality is juvenile.
It just is. Drop out of the madness. It’s a fabrication. A completely futile and pointless one. We can make it appear real by all kinds of frustrated projected exuberance but it’s still fake and has no meaning.
When you awake from a dream, was it real?
Now you’re in another one. An apparently collective one. It’s still a dream.
Ours is to see it for what it is. That “installation” or frontal cortex or socially fabricated self or whatever you want to call it that’s trying to so hard is illusion city trying to hold on to its own imagination and feel self importance.
Drop it.
The external game we perceive is a group hallucination, as real as it may appear.
When the dreamer awakes, truth appears.
Unless it’s another dream. Perhaps the Truman Show is just the first layer of infinite Russian dolls?
Let that bake your noodle.
And what difference does any of that make?
When you figure it out, supposedly, then what?
And who the hell is doing the “figuring out”?
Enjoy the ride.
Love, Zen

What a cracker! Zen…no pun intended.

December 31, 2019 at 10:52 pmYou know, I’m beginning to feel sorry for the ego, it’s like the nasty kid at school who pulled the legs off frogs because he was abused at home. Shitty parents who pass down their brokenness.
Humans love stories, especially mystery plays. Problem is, we’re not creating new ones, just re-running the old worn out dialectic. Rock the boat and rattle that cage, shake the tree and scream with rage. Indignantly, of course.
Enjoy the ride! I don’t think Alex Jones is Bill Hicks. I mean, really?
So, 2020. Has anyone ascended yet? It’s gonna be one humdinger of a year. Boris Johnson as prime minister, now who thought that one up.

January 1, 2020 at 12:25 amMuch love, Crow and may you have the best of all things in 20/20🌞
The way I see it, the ego is the construct…the invader of our true realities. We are prisoners under the spell of its wants and desires and we mistake it for the real us. It all but drowns out the quiet voice.

Did you see the Star of Remphan around the sun at the ring of fire eclipse? Something is going on right under our noses and we can’t see it.
Mick
January 1, 2020 at 4:01 amYeah, I sent you an email but I was half asleep so probably didn’t take in its import as much as I should. Those ‘shooting stars’ were even more freaky, reminded me of something out of War of the Worlds. The BBC just recently aired a very loosely based tv adaptation where Earth was transformed into a crystalline version of Mars.
Here is a Forbes article on the phenomenon of cities built from scratch. May seem unrelated but it is part of a long term plan. Most are in the far east. Most are for the Uber rich. Reminds one of Sumer appearing from nowhere, but since there is no actual ancient history, most of it being created from the British Museum by the likes of Wallis-Budge and G R S Mead, it is being developed for the future. When you read ancient history look at what is to come.

January 1, 2020 at 10:57 amHi Mark, I like special cake!
Jenny
January 1, 2020 at 8:48 amHa! Has anyone ascended yet ! ?
I got out of bed this morning, Mick, noticed the bulbs
are emerging in the garden, I’ll ask them.
Greetings Elva , Zen, and others…
the on going process.

January 1, 2020 at 10:50 amMuch love,Jenny.
Thanks for joining the conversation. Wishing you the best of everything in 2020. Did you see the Star of Remphan video? Quite amazing! As for ascension, I think it is an individual experience not one where millions of people suddenly get raptured. I think that we connect with Source Creator one spirit at a time.

January 1, 2020 at 2:44 pmHi again, Jen. I was just thinking about ascension. What does it really mean….just rising up the frequency ladder. I think it is quite possible to ascend while in the flesh and access our multi dimensional abilities.
Mick
January 2, 2020 at 2:40 amAh, the amber glow of faith. Forgive my temerity, and I am playing Lucifer’s advocate here, but the answer is to buzz a little faster, more like a mosquito than a house fly. A nibble of Mark’s Special Cake would be in order, then. I do find it a touch naive, though in a heart warming way, since we are all still here. Many gurus, throughout the long trawl of orthodox history, have said as much, though many of them turned out to be sexual predators, sadly. It was more a case of feeding on the faithful’s kundalini, very much a sauce to be savoured. Of course, there is the Power of Love, which I find to be a Law unto Itself, arising spontaneously as needed, and then cessating. It is far too intense an energy to maintain indefinitely.
Yes Jen, bulbs are lovely ascenders, though they are rooted firmly in the Earth. There is a lesson in that. We really shouldn’t chop down trees.

January 1, 2020 at 7:50 amI always used to say, when faced with the THE question.’ You’re here to find out WHY YOU’RE HERE,’ and leave it at that. We can ASSUME there is ONE TRUTH, ONE REASON, but I can’t answer that ONE SIZE should fit all, necessarily. So this is definitely an ‘individual’ personal experience, BUT it all goes into the communal pot, like it or lump it.
Caveat Emptor: if this IS all a projection, we may not be here in the sense we have all been programmed to believe, at all at all. ‘A storm in a teacup, all sound and fury, signifying nothing.’
We have to work together, even if we each have the ONE TRUE BELIEF and ANSWER. Or the ONE TRUE PARANOIA, for that matter. Turning the wheel of Dharma (or any other metaphor or analogy) is noT an intellectual matter, we just need the 100th monkey to add his shoulder to the others of us at the Wheel and PUSH IT!

January 1, 2020 at 9:12 amApparently the Aztecs said we came here to sleep and dream. But that particular Dream was Shattered, much like the alleged Pangaea.
Have been reading the original Dune series again, pertinences abound.

January 1, 2020 at 10:13 amHi everyone and happy year, nothing is new anyway.
Yep we can’t really change anything. Sometimes it comes like a slap in the face, like but why ? why can’t we change the world that we don’t like ? because it’s our f-ing fault if we don’t like ourselves.
Being afraid of death is as the same as being afraid of life. Live Love Leave…or not.

January 1, 2020 at 10:56 amMuch love, Peony.

Beginning with “Game over. Then what?” each line extends under the Amazon ad on the right. I am missing one, two or more words of each line. I tried this on Chrome and Safari with the exact same result. I’d love to read it, but can’t. Could the text please be formatted the same as the preceding text? Thank you.

January 17, 2020 at 6:31 amThanks for a worthwhile read, Zen. I would add that Humans are not responsible for creating the greatest destruction and havoc. Plants have that honor. When they took over the land they poisoned the atmosphere with oxygen, causing the greatest extinction event in history. On the other hand, their action set the stage for energy devouring creatures such as mammals to ascend to primacy. Extinction is a natural, cyclical process. It’s always followed by an explosion of new life forms.
