The Pure, Universal Consciousness,
Pure Awareness,
and a
"Proper Perspective"
“I talk to you from the perspective of the universal consciousness.”
---Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
One morning, this was the view from the front yard:
A so-called “cold front” was moving across the area and these are some of the words which popped up on a weather alert when the computer was booted up that AM:
(A) “Downpours are creating a miserable start to a wet and windy day” and (B) “There will be no sun today.”
Consider (A) the warped perspective and (B) the outright delusion / lie.
(A) “Downpours are creating a miserable start to a wet and windy day”: Some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy, active life. The highest concentrations of hunger are in parts of western Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, but children also went to bed hungry and are waking with hunger in the so-called "developed nations” such as the U.S.
[A report issued in 2019 noted that more than 35 million people in the U.S. experienced hunger that year. Households with children were revealed to be more likely to experience food insecurity.]
Now humans who are hungry or starving, well, those could be said to be “miserable,” but a person writing a weather alert who traveled to work with temperatures in the 50’s, wearing a coat, riding in a vehicle with a heater, and sitting in a building with central heat is going to speak of . . . “misery” caused by rain? Really?
Persons are living in areas where bullets are flying, where bombs are being dropped, where people are being beheaded, where women’s body parts are being mutilated with dull knives and where their being raped is so common that it is not as much dreaded but simply expected as a part of the way of life in their cultures. Now those people know "misery."
It has been shared that Grandmother’s attitude about the weather was typical of that among most of the indigenous peoples here: never was there any complaint about the duality of temperatures which so many others whine about, with their Goldilocks-style of complaining that “It’s miserable - it’s too dang hot” and “It’s miserable – 50 degrees Fahrenheit is too damn cold."
When asked about why she never discussed the weather, she said, "Because when it is cold, it is cold, and when it is hot, it is hot." Most thought that response evidenced the fact that that the female elder was "losing her mind" rather than seeing that it showed she was wise.
As for “B” (“There will be no sun today”):
Damn. Don’t you hate when that happens, when there is no longer a sun in our solar system? So what would happen to earth if suddenly there were indeed no longer a sun in this solar system?
Well, on one hand, earth retains heat rather well, so no one would freeze to death instantly. Also, as light from the Sun takes eight and a half minutes to reach us, we’d have a final few moments of glorious sunshine before our planet was bathed in darkness.
On the other hand, because it is the sun’s gravitational pull which keeps the planets here in their orbits, the moment there was no longer a sun, the earth would stop moving in a circle and would begin to move along a straight line that first send it flying out of the region of this solar system and it would then be sent hurling through deep space instead.
Within days, earth would be a hundred or so degrees below freezing, and within weeks it would be just fifty or so degrees above absolute zero. The atmosphere itself would also freeze and fall to earth, leaving us exposed to the harsh radiation traveling through space.
Life as we know it would have to adapt to survive to a new frozen Earth, and it’s likely only microorganisms beneath the surface could survive, thanks to the heat from the core. For humans, we’d probably have to pool together and build a few nuclear fusion reactors in order to last a while. More likely, humans would all freeze before finishing that project.
So don’t you also hate it when, as was reported to be the case on that day, “there is no sun”?
Or might it be that, once again, just because humans cannot see something does not mean it’s not there, and just because they think they see a truth does not make it a truth, and just because humans cannot understand certain facts does not mean that they are not true?
And might it be that most humans talk nonsense "in their sleep" and their listeners simply nod their heads in agreement because they are also asleep while believing that they are fully awake?
Among “the realized,” there is “a vocabulary of realization,” a vocabulary of freedom from ignorance, a vocabulary of restoration to sanity, a vocabulary of speaking sensibly rather than talking nonsensically, and a tendency to use any vocabulary minimally.
So, other different perspectives among the “realized” include a preference for peace and quiet and silence, but – when speaking does happen – it happens by way of a unique and rare vocabulary.
As is often pointed out here, in the West, there is much talk about one’s right to his or her freedom of speech; that is a concept which is becoming more and more popular as populations all around the globe fall under the influence of the West.
But there was a time in the East when freedom from speech was valued and here in the U.S. – before the invasion by Aryans and Spaniards and know-it-all white supremacists – that valuing of freedom from speech was also quite often the case. It is no more.
Among "the realized," if speaking happens, then it happens only with the use of that “vocabulary of realization,” a vocabulary which contains words drawn from "the universal consciousness,” a “vocabulary used only by the sane and exact and clear-seeing and clear-speaking.”
It is a vocabulary that is devoid of circumlocution (taking around a point), devoid of substitutions where “words with more positive connotations are used,” without using words which minimize or maximize, and without the use of euphemisms (whereby a mild or indirect word or expression is substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing and when the goal is to avoid the exact and specific truth or reality).
For example, a company meeting might be called by the boss to explain that there will be some “downsizing” rather than “employee cuts” or “layoffs” or “firings.” Two Congressional bills in the U.S. which allow businesses to increase their profits by simply dumping and discharging pollutants rather than properly processing them are called “The Clean Water Act” and “The Clean Air Act.”
The term “patriot” can be used by those with a philosophy rooted in right-wing xenophobia (as is the case among many in the U.S.) to refer to one who is "proud to be a Christian and a god-fearing Republican and one who believes strongly in the immutability of the status quo."
Political consultants test focus groups to find which words and terms and labels are more acceptable to the masses in order to enable politicians to warp the perspective of listeners in ways that will advance certain political agendas;
thus, the name “estate tax” was changed to “death tax”; “global warming” has been renamed by them as “climate change”; the abuse and murder of Palestinians is referred to as “acts which best promote the welfare of the holy state of Israel”; and “healthcare reform” is referred to as “a government takeover of the medical industry.”
The result of the widespread use of such language affects the way that the masses think and talk and feel, so warped perspectives are the new abnormal norm and distortion and delusion reign.
And those cannot be compartmentalized, so they end up operating in every area of one’s relative existence, allowing the morbidly obese to distort the reality of their actual condition and deny the actual causes of their condition:
Of such efforts at self-deception, Cesar Millan said:

THE EXPLANATION
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"
and
"Heaven and earth shall fade away."
and
"Heaven and hell are not geographic places
"There is no hell."
