MORE VERY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES WHICH CAME VIA THE VISION

[Continued from yesterday]

The reason that Grandmother and her relatives and those in her community so cherished that which they pointed to with the terms "Mother Earth" and "Father Sky" was because of what they understood. 

They understood the functioning of the totality, the way that sunshine / light interacts with plants and allows for the manifestation of consciousness within a composite unity . . . that is, within an elemental plant food body. 

They also understood that the composite unity must circulate clean air and that the composite unity circulates conscious-energy via the regular consumption of healthy, non-contaminated plant food. 

Even when they ate the meat of deer, they knew that the deer had survived by eating plants and was passing on to them the consciousness-sustaining energy provided by the consumption of healthy plants. 

Maharaj said, "Someday science will advance to the point that it validates all of the non-dual teachings." 

Grandmother, having received no "formal education and learning," was prepared to receive the wisdom passed down to her, so she would have understood the words of the scientist Szent-Gyorgyi when he said, “What drives life is … a little electric current, set up by the sunshine." 

She understood the functioning of the totality without having to learn scientific words or principles, and she understood the necessity of healthy plants and sunshine and clean water in the process she was temporarily a part of.

The wisdom - such as that shared via the vision - allows one to understand without the addition of learned knowledge (a.k.a., "learned ignorance").

In the vision being discussed, the ways of the functioning of the totality were made clear as certain natural elements appeared throughout. Prevalent throughout the vision were these four: 

1. healthy plants and forests and clean lands 

2. water in the form of a branch ("branch water") and a pool and a waterfall and a stream irrigating a desert and an ocean and a lake 

3. pure winds / clean air 

and 

4. light . . . in fact, very bright light. 

What the vision did include was a detailed demonstration of how life comes about, a demonstration of how conscious-energy manifests and cycles, and a demonstration of how the four life-facilitating components listed above cycle and allow spaces (called "humans") to form and to survive for a time by 

(a) consuming healthy elemental plant food (and thus circulating conscious-energy) and by 

(b) receiving the light both directly as well as by way of plant consumption and by 

(c) drinking pure water. 

What the vision did include was a presentation of exactly what is required for composite unities (including humans) to form; to provide a space in which the consciousness can manifest; to provide a space capable of circulating air and consuming plant food and thereby allowing for the cycling of - and the continuing manifestation of - conscious-energy for a time. 

Grandmother understood that if persons bastardize the plants of the earth and the water of the earth by inundating them with contaminants, then the present fashion in which the totality is functioning on planet earth - as illustrated in the vision - will end. 

What the vision did not include for the functioning of the totality to continue was a need to ignore the wind and solar energy that the indigenous peoples relied on. 

What the vision did not include for the functioning of the totality to continue was a need to drill into the earth or to frack the earth in order to remove oil and gas and coal.

What the vision did not include for the functioning of the totality to continue was a need to tolerant corporate-induced earthquakes, oil spills, gas line explosions, and the dumping of contaminants in streams and rivers and the pumping of contaminants into the air in order to allow business profits to be greater by not having to invest money in ways to end their contaminating practices.

What the vision did not include  for the functioning of the totality to continue was billionaire mine owners or super rich oil and gas company executives or multi-billionaire business people or millionaire and billionaire politicians, leaders, dictators, despots, tyrants, autocrats, or authoritarians. 

What the vision did not include for the functioning of the totality to continue were imams, ayatollahs, rabbis, priests, preachers, sponsors, cult leaders, super religious persons and their sky cult leaders, or spiritual giants. 

What the vision did not include  for the functioning of the totality to continue were gods or goddesses or a God or any other entities living in some "other world" to control what goes on this planet. To the contrary, everything that happened in the vision happened spontaneously and automatically and instinctively and mindlessly and unthinkingly without input from any kind of "Controller of Things and People" and without any learned ignorance involved at all. 

What the vision did not include  for the functioning of the totality to continue were any unnatural things or concepts or any supernatural things or concepts. All was natural

And because all was natural, then all was mindless; and because all was mindless, then all was also concept-less.

If the functioning of the totality is to continue on planet earth and is to facilitate the functioning of humans and is to allow them to continue to be for a time, then the things which are included in the vision are not optional. They are requirements. 

And if the functioning of the totality is to continue on planet earth and is to continue to facilitate the functioning of humans and to allow them to continue to be for a time, then the things which are not included in the vision - but which are currently present on the planet and which are using their influence and authority to jeopardize the things which are in the vision - then those things which are not in the vision must be neutralized. 

Moreover, as far as having peace and sanity during the relative existence of humans is concerned, that neutralization is a requirement, not an option. 

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.]
