The Importance of the Image



Written by Mathew Naismith


Is this just for me?

What I am about to write maybe just for me, but not for my ears only. Me is actually a we, being that I am not the only soul that could possibly comprehend what I am about to write about.

Hmmm, okay then, this is not going to be easy it would seem as other ears are listening, ears that may not at all comprehend what I am about to write about. It is like having an image of a house to build, but being unable to put this house to plan to start with to then physically create.

A lot of people seem to have an image that a spiritually connected person has to eat right, sleep right, stand and sit right, live life right, etc, of course right being opposing to wrong. Right being a positive and wrong being a negative, of course only through the right, in accordance to the ego, can one become truly spiritually connected!!

How many people have their most enlightening experiences while experiencing some kind of duress or mental and/or physical dysfunction to start with? Also, the ego most often goes through some traumatizing experiences while becoming enlightened, awakened to its own constricted consciousness. It is like physiologically awakening a person to a traumatising experience their consciousness mind deliberately forgot, but their unconsciousness mind didn’t.

One person I came across was distortedly physically crippled up, but their spiritual connectedness could only be a dream to most people’s ego. Believe it or not, not all souls are the same. Some souls, going by my own experiences, are like a crystalline consciousness, a consciousness not polluted by ignorance, where other souls are extremely polluted by their own deliberate ignorance. Yes, this ignorance is very much like the pollution and destruction we create due to our own ignorance, for only in ignorance can a consciousness create physical pollution in a solid form. Make no mistake, what we think to be physical is not actually as physical as the image that consciously created solid physical mass. Solid physical mass is simply an abstract image of what is truly physical, think of it like a house plan, is a house plan less of a physical state than what is built from this plan, the solid physical mass of the house? Let’s go further still, is the mental image to draw a plan any less physical than the plan itself? Most of us would say yes even though without a house plan most houses are unable to be built.

Your own souls awakening often has nothing to do with what you experience in solid physical mass form, for the plan has already been drawn up. The life plan itself that creates solid mass is the awakening, not what is created from your life plan or planed path’s journey. Yes, what can occur while experiencing solid mass form is that your soul can become conditioned to physical existence, be it of solid physical existence or of non-solid physical mass form.  I have experienced souls that have become totally lost within the creation of physical reality, be it of the image of the plan, of the plan itself or of what is created in accordance with the plan. These souls are not of solid physical mass themselves but are just as much of the physical plane or reality if not more so. Why? Because ignorance can only become created in a physical reality, be it of solid mass or simply of a consciousness that is not of solid mass, like an image of a house plan.

How often is a composer of music or an artist of images not happy with their creation created in physical form? Until the image of the physical act is right with the physical image itself, the creation of the physical act is not as physically correct or inline with the physical image. Truly, the image itself to any artist is as physical as the physical created act is itself created from the image. In other words, the image itself can seem just as physical as what is created from the image itself for a very good reason.

What occurs when a spiritually aware person focuses on a particular point only, like with one’s own breathing pattern while going into a meditative state? Your ego becomes more aware beyond its own set physical boundaries. The ego becomes aware of a physical state beyond what was perceived to be physical by the ego. An artist who is focused often touches on this physical image, in turn recreating this physical image into or through solid physical mass.

Nothing comes from nothing, but only from nothing is all created.

This is my own quote that I know of, a quote that seems contradictory. What the ego perceives to be nothing is more than everything, for the ego can only comprehend everything through the images of something it can only comprehend to be something. For example, only solid physical mass is seen to be physical, all else is seen as non-physical, even though only through the image can solid physical mass become created!!              

Just because we cannot physically measure all energy at present, like many energies before we could measure them, doesn’t mean they don’t or didn’t exist or there is nothing beyond of what the ego is able to measure at present physically. Our egos are looking for something inline with something existing, not what is actually existing in this so-called nothingness.

When you go into this state of nothingness, all is revealed.

It is an image of all of what is, in the complete absence of being a participator of what is imaged. Unless there is some kind of participation between energies, the ego thinks this non-participation between energies is nothing, an empty void

Yes, to someone like me, the image, God, Great Spirit, nothingness, etc, has more importance than what is deemed to be real by the average ego or soul for a very good reason.

An Image to Live Up To


Written by Mathew Naismith

In my younger days while experiencing my first experiences in the welfare arena, I was accepted into a motor cycle group of people as being no threat to them. Even though I was within my own element, my own reality as a spiritually aware person that was involved in welfare work, I was well accepted and trusted. In this case I am talking about bikers, motor cycle clan members, from Mount Druitt and Blacktown areas of Sydney, hard core bikers.

Even to the average person as opposed to a new age spiritually aware person, you could easily say I was interacting with very negative people. It's hard to be in a more negative situation in relation to the biker's business side of their live; even the social side of their lives was daunting at times.

However, at no time did I critically judge that I was in a negative situation while interacting with these people, yes, it was quite daunting at times but I didn't critically judge it as negative. And no, I wasn't apart of their business side of things even though they would freely talk about this in front of me but only to a certain extent.

You see, once you get to a certain point of spiritual development, you begin to no longer judge what is or isn't negative or positive no mater what circumstances you find yourself in. In saying this, at times I do still judge a circumstance as being unbecoming. Just because something is unbecoming though, doesn't make it instantly negative, it's still simply unbecoming. I was at times quite uncomfortable in the presence of these bikers only because it wasn't my scene, my way of life. Just because it's not our way of life and living life, doesn't make it negative, it can be simply unbecoming void of critically judging a negative.

During my time when interacting with these bikers, a bloke who was a dealer in cannabis came up to me one day and stated, "I wish I could be more like you but I have an image to live up to". To me, an image like this is likened to an ideological ism we often try to live up to, our egos control us to that much of an extent that we have to live up to the image that our egos have created.

As our reality has found itself in an unbecoming situation, we can ourselves just simply find ourselves in this kind of situation personally, the trick is, is not to become what you are apart of. Be simply what other people around you wish to be and not what the ego desires you to be.

To these bikers, their ideological ism was hard core biking, they had to live up to this image once of this image. Being of an image is different to being apart of an image. Being of an image is being all of what is imaged. Being only apart of an image is only being apart of an image, not the whole of an image, this makes a huge different in regards to having to live up to an image. Once you are compelled to live up to an image, you become that image, however, if not compelled, you have no image to live up to, no ideological ism to be controlled by.

Once we become free of this kind of control, we become less bias and prejudice in our judgment of anything not of our own reality. When judging everything not of our own reality as negative, to be honest, we couldn't be more bias and judgmental even when our ideological ism is about not judging in this way. We are in an age of false prophets, an age of deception; we can all be fooled in this way.

Even in my younger days, I was not fooled in the company I kept at times. To judge my company simply negative would to be of my company instead of only apart of my company. Be very careful in judging your company as simply negative, only in being aware of this can we reach a stage where we no longer judge like this.

I would also like to say that I have assisted many people in my life, including disabled people; no doubt far more people than most spiritually aware people have simply because I didn't critically judge my present company or environment. Yes, I am often aware of my company and environment and vocal of this at times, but I am not in critical judgment of simply because there is no perception of negative and positive!!


Ideological isms can and often do separate everything in turn creating the reality we have today. It's simply the image we try to live up to that creates such a separated hostile reality and environment, when in all, we simply don't have to live by an image to start with. It's simply all to do with the ego deceiving us into living by an image.
