A REVIEW AND SUMMATION OF THE KEY UNDERSTANDINGS WHICH CAME VIA THE VISION AND WHICH WERE REQUIRED FOR FULL REALIZATION
To continue with the discussion of not only how to realize but also what to realize as well:
Other clarifications that came via the vision follow.
In part #185, this was offered yesterday:
Upon the manifestation of full realization which the vision can bring about, the complete understanding comes of how all has happened and how all happens and how all will forever happen. How inclusive is that understanding?
Part of that which is understood post-realization was offered in the previous post. The list continues today:
*** What generates instability;
*** How to "be stable";
*** How personality forms and determines and controls all thoughts and words and deeds among the "non-realized" masses (i.e., among humans not freed from being driven by learned ignorance and imposed insanity);
*** How the subconscious agendas of personalities preempt the ability to choose . . . to make choices;
*** Why belief in an external locus of power and control is fiction;
*** What the primary addiction is among all humans (namely, the addiction to control) and what the secondary addiction is among all humans (namely, the addiction to power / "Power" in order to be able to control);
*** What the primary addiction is among all humans (namely, the addiction to control) and what the secondary addiction is among all humans (namely, the addiction to power / "Power" in order to be able to control);
*** How role -assignment and / or role-assumption generate dependency and co-dependency;
*** What bliss is and what bliss is not;
*** Why you must be empty before you can be full;
*** Why there is no such thing as "peace of mind";
*** Why there is no "doer";
*** Why a "mind" and "wisdom" cannot co-exist within any human;
*** Why "your beliefs" are not your beliefs at all;
*** Why there can be no such things as "conventional wisdom";
*** Why "your beliefs" are not your beliefs at all;
*** Why there can be no such things as "conventional wisdom";
*** What the real cause of desire and fear is;
*** What the difference is between emotions and feelings;
*** Why freedom is a prerequisite for peace and happiness;
*** Why "you" have nothing to do with either "time" or "space" or "form";
*** How it is that trillions of persons have been in error regarding their ideas and concepts and beliefs and perceptions and why only a few at any given point in the history of planet earth have seen clearly and seen truth and been able to differentiate accurately between what is true and what is false;
*** What "The Ultimate Sickness" is and what "The Ultimate Medicine" is;
*** What the exact steps are which must be taken in order to be free of belief in the false "I" / "I's";
*** What the differences are between programming, conditioning, acculturation, domestication, indoctrination and brainwashing;
*** What the relative effects of programming, conditioning, acculturation, domestication, indoctrination and brainwashing are;
*** Why no humans have ever "made a baby" or "created a child" or "created a new life";
*** Why no creator or Creator or Creators ever "made a man" or "made a woman from a part of a man" or "created humans" or "created plants and animals" or "created a world and populated it with plants and animals and humans";
*** How all is basically energy / matter;
*** How energy / matter can neither be created nor destroyed;
*** How, therefore, all merely cycles
and why, in light of that fact,
*** There can be no "birth" and no "death" and no "rebirth" and no "resurrection" and no "eternal life" and no "eternal reward" and no "eternal punishment";
*** Why no creator or Creator or Creators ever "made a man" or "made a woman from a part of a man" or "created humans" or "created plants and animals" or "created a world and populated it with plants and animals and humans";
*** How all is basically energy / matter;
*** How energy / matter can neither be created nor destroyed;
*** How, therefore, all merely cycles
and why, in light of that fact,
*** There can be no "birth" and no "death" and no "rebirth" and no "resurrection" and no "eternal life" and no "eternal reward" and no "eternal punishment";
*** What happens when consciousness is no longer manifested;
*** How the enculturation process puts persons to sleep even as they are certain that they are awake;
*** The beginninglessness and the expanse of infinity;
*** The limitlessness;
*** Bliss via desirelessness;
*** The source of all suffering;
*** Freedom from the pursuit of meaning;
*** Infinite Cause;
*** The link between mind and fear;
*** Why "the mind" is a total illusion;
*** Why all perceived via "a mind" is false and is illusory;
*** Why you must be "out of your mind" in order to be sane;
*** Why all "knowledge" is nothing more than learned ignorance;
*** Why time and timelines are illusions;
*** How illusions are taken to be real by persons;
*** What the Oneness truly is;
*** What you are not;
*** What "you" truly are, temporarily,
and
*** What "you" have always been.
and
*** What "you" have always been.
Those are but a portion of what becomes understood when all learned ignorance is removed, allowing full realization to happen.
Moreover, when what is understood in order to be free, the truly realized will then abide naturally (as does every living thing on this planet except for humans) and all seeking and all role-assumption will end and as all no-conditions and no-conditioning abidance begins.
To be continued.

Here,
with those who are still driven to talk about "god," the "Son of god,"
the "Holy Spirit," "Buddha," "Krishna," etc., etc., etc., the invitation
to them is to view those as verbs, not nouns.
THE EXPLANATION
If
looked at as nouns, they point to illusions and are, therefore, a total
waste of time to even discuss; if looked at as verbs which are
resulting in certain sane but rare behaviors among humanity, then they
are worthy of some attention during the relative existence.
Meaning?
There are members of certain groups who say things such as "My concept
of god in the past was of a weak god, an absentee god, A Santa
Claus-type god, a mean, punishing, vindictive god, etc. Today, I am in
close contact with a loving and caring god whom I worship and praise and
glorify and give thanks to."
The
reply to that usually goes like this: "If you are in contact with a god
that wants to be worshipped and praised and glorified, then you're
dealing with someone like yourself - a narcissist - and hanging out with
narcissists will never bring an end to your narcissism (that narcissism
evidenced by the fact that you think you are "godly").
Next,
in the phrase 'loving and caring god,' any supposed god that truly had
her or his act together would tell you that the totally irrelevant part
of that phrase is 'god' and that the only part that is relevant is the
"loving and caring" part.
"That
is, a non-narcissistic their god / their goddess would say, "I care not
an iota about being worshipped and praised and glorified by you or
anyone else. How arrogant and insecure and needy would I have to be to
want that? Forget the man-made, dreamed up noun 'god' and focus on the
'god as a verb' understanding and then go forth and let loving and
caring be verbs - not adjectives - and let them generate the act of love
and the act of caring and let those actions manifest through you."
Yeshu'a (Jesus) and Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis were spot on:
"No one shall ever see 'the kingdom of heaven.' It is within"
--Yeshu'a (Jesus)
and
"Heaven and earth shall fade away."
--Yeshu'a (Jesus)
and
"Heaven and hell are not geographic places
but are states of mind, nothing more than
concepts dreamed up by men."
--Pope John Paul II
"There is no hell."
--Pope Francis, the current pope
in an interview with journalist Eugenio Scalfari,
a writer used by the Pope to issue off the record
teachings which become a part of the Papal Magisterium.
[That
said, would that the popes who have shown the courage to reject a core
concept of their dogma - namely, "hell" - would find the additional
courage required to question the very existence of their institution in
light of the centuries-long cover-up of their history of raping children
and in light of the mental and emotional and psychological scarring of
billions of their members past and present.
And
that need for courage also applies as questions need to be asked about
why so many other sky cults are still being supported and allowed to
continue to exist as well. When certain types of programming and
conditioning have been shown to blind the masses, they should end. Will
they? Not likely. Why?
Because
what the masses think and say and do is most influenced by the
international crime families which hold sway over the masses as
criminals conduct their planet-wide operations. What are the major
international crime families and which are the most influential and have
the largest memberships?
The
Mafia / La Cosa Nostra; the Catholic Church (with it 1.2 billion
followers) whose Vatican Bank worked for decades with the Mafia while
laundering mob earnings (for a 15% all-profit charge by the Bank);
Protestant and Evangelical Churches (with over 1.2 billion followers)
like the one I was raised in where the youth director molested and
sexually assaulted young girls; big business which has long created
environments in which people have been abused; powerful political bodies
like the U.S. Congress, etc., etc., etc.)
With
all of those crime families, neither the followers nor the leadership
ever voluntarily step down or shut down their criminal activities. Be
they gangs, organized crime families, religions, big business,
politicians, etc., they all want control and they all want power and
they all want money, and nothing internal will interfere with the
driving forces at play.
The
masses must demand that all those in charge must step down and their
groups and institutions must shut down, and there's the real problem
because the continuation of their crimes are enabled not as much by the
people running such crime organizations as they are enabled by the
masses of people who - wanting some perceived "payoff" - remain involved
with them and give them money and support them and aid and abet the
continued existence of those criminal enterprises and thus facilitate
the ability of church criminals and political criminals and other types
of criminals to continue to commit their crimes.]
