Today's Considerations
The reason that Maharaj said that "the cause of all is all" is
because everything that is happening “now” happens because of all that happened prior to "now."
All
humans are passing down something by way of archetypal messaging, genetic
coding, modeled behaviors, and mind-content-driven word of mouth. Among humans, archetypes and genetics will be passed down in
a matter of nine months; the modeling of behaviors and word of mouth "stuff" will be
passed down for a “lifetime,” for an entire manifestation.
And, as addressed in the book entitled The Board of Directors of Wars, what happens nowadays around the globe most often involves conflicts
which are rooted in a combination of (a) money and either (b) big government,
big business, and / or big religion (and usually all three of those are at
play).
And beliefs about money and how much is required and beliefs about what
type of government is preferred and beliefs about how businesses should behave
and beliefs about which religion is the right one (and is therefore worth fighting for or
even dying for), all evolve from what was passed down via programming, conditioning,
domestication, acculturation, brainwashing, and indoctrination by parents and
relatives first; then by friends and neighbors; then by teachers or governmental
leaders or would-be governmental leaders; and then by one's culture at large.
Most significantly, though, humans adults will pass down
to the younger generation only one of two things:
1. knowledge (a.k.a., “learned ignorance”), concepts, dreamed
up ideas, lies, nonsense, distortions, delusions, notions, and thoughts (all of which can
be summarized as “beliefs” and all of which lead to warped perspectives);
or,
2. wisdom.
That is, in short, all humans are passing down either nonsense or wisdom.
If you are adult-aged, what are you passing down? The "stuff" referenced in #1 above is easy to pass down. Hells bells, humans do that in their sleep.
To pass down wisdom, on the other hand, requires a bit more. It requires
someone talking from a fully-awake state, from the perspective of the universal
consciousness, and someone listening from an awakening or awakened state.
Which prevails on planet earth? What is being passed down among humans, in
almost every case? Dreamed up nonsense? Or wisdom? Words intended to manipulate
and control, or words intended to free up listeners? Almost always, it is that which is warped,
rather than that which is wise, that is being passed along.
So how warped can a warped perspective become?
Yesterday, a site visitor sent a quote from one of the many Republicans running for president as an example of the way that duality is dominating
all of their campaigns. Later in the day, a second site visitor sent two statements
from another candidate who spoke during their Tuesday night debate, illustrating
not only duality but also the way that the two drivers of all personas – desire
and fear – set persons up to be manipulated and controlled.
Tap into humankind's fears and – because half of all persons on the planet are Personality Type Sixes who are already trapped in fear and anxiety and angst –
then would-be manipulators and controllers will already have 50% of the people eating out of their hands.
In the second quote sent, the warped perspective being shared in
order to tap into the emotional intoxication resulting from the fears of voters
involves
(a) ignoring the fact that far more U.S. citizens are killed annually
by the members of white, U.S. extremist groups
while
(b) telling the citizenry - not that
they can expect some random instances of mass murder by jihadists to
continue - but that the way things are now, there is a possibility that
everyone in the nation may be killed!
(Damn. Don’t you just hate it when 319
million people all die at once?)
So the statements which were sent here yesterday, statements which came by
way of the warped perspective of Senator
Lindsey Graham, include these:
“This president [Obama] needs to
rise to the occasion before we all get killed back here at home”
and then on Tuesday
night:
“We're at war folks. They're not trying to steal your car; they're
trying to kill us all."
What is the result of the citizenry paying any attention at
all to the self-serving comments which are being made and which are receiving national
news coverage? Rather than trying to describe the effects, let me show you a 20-second
video clip which illustrates the way that many in the U.S. are now reacting:
Of course, the U.S. has not cornered the market on the kind
of warped perspective which drives alarmist-types to overreact and to behave insanely. At Mecca this
year, 1,453 worshipers died in a human stampede. Annually in India, thousands
die in multiple instances of human stampedes. And death-by-human-stampede is
happening all around the globe as persons are driven by their learned-fanaticism
to put themselves in danger for whatever their particular “cause” might be:
In 2015 alone, 28 people died after a human stampede in
Cairo, Egypt; more than 16 people died after a stampede in Haiti; at least 23
people were killed and 50 injured following a stampede in Bangladeshi; and at
least 27 pilgrims died in a stampede on the banks of the Godavari River in southern
India at a religious festival.
What is being passed down to those assuming the role of “The
Super Religious One” and “The Super Pilgrim”? Wisdom? Hardly. Concepts? Maybe concepts such as
“You must go on that pilgrimage in order to please the god being celebrated there”? Yes.
There is no middle ground. There is either the Ultimate Medicine in
the form of wisdom that is being passed down or there is the Ultimate Sickness being
passed along with its symptoms of “ignorance, stupidity, and insanity.”
During childhood, most humans have no choice other than to accept unquestioningly
the “ignorance, stupidity, and insanity” being passed down. Only ½ of 1% of the people on
the planet are rebellious Personality Type Fours who will resist the efforts of adults who would strip them of their sense of authenticity and their innate ability to recognize BS when they hear it.
The majority will cling to the “ignorance, stupidity, and insanity”
which was passed down. Only a few, Maharaj said, will seek and ultimately find
one who is “talking to them from the perspective of the universal consciousness”
and someone who is thereby passing down wisdom (which brings with it a different perspective .
. . a clear perspective).
Maharaj: “If you hang out around the ‘Big Name Teachers,’
you will get what you deserve.”
Here, “If you hang out around the ‘Big Name Teachers,’ you
will never get what you deserve and you will never find that which you seek,
namely, wisdom."
What was passed down to you? What are you passing down? No one can give away what one does not have. Nonsense is commonplace. It is everywhere. The invitation is to seek out instead the tiny little pockets of wisdom which are generally far more rare.
But be on guard. True wisdom is not dressed up in the guise of being "deep" or "profound" or "lofty" or "other-worldly." True wisdom is relevant, logical, down-to-earth, simple, sane, and - most of all - practical.
To be continued.
