Lead a Horse to Water

Written By Mathew Naismith

We have a saying in the west, “You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.”

What this means as the image above states,” You can lead a human to knowledge but you can't make him think.” This is in line with awareness, where, “ You can speak of awareness as much as you like, but it takes awareness to be able to comprehend awareness itself to accept this awareness as being of awareness in the first place.”

My wife and I are in awe, so many horses refuse to go to the water to begin with, and even if some make it to the water, be the water of knowledge or awareness, many still refuse to drink from this water.

So why the hesitancy to drink from this water?

How many religious people put religion and even their church before God? How many scientists put their careers and/or their employers profits before science? How many people put their own personal security before a nations security? How many people put political ideologies before all else, even family that can include a nation and even the human race as a whole?

At present, medical apartheid comes before other people's security and well being, even to the extent of outright abuse of the people on the receiving end of numerous kinds of embraced apartheid systems. So why the hesitancy to drink from this water? The answer is simple, security. An embraced apartheid system gives certain people a sense of security. What occurs when you try to take a security blanket away from an infant? Because knowledge and awareness have a direct relation to the truth, in a time when the truth is heavily censored, knowledge and awareness is seen as a threat to security, like taking a security blanket away from an infant. This is also at a time when so many people embraced a medical apartheid system, even to the point of outright abuse, as apartheid systems often lead to.

In spirituality today, how often is love put before awareness, when it is awareness that creates a true sense of love in spirituality? Try being of a true sense of love without first being in a state of awareness. So being aware of what for example? Putting God consciousness, be it that this God consciousness can be many things, even before a state of awareness. God consciousness to me relates to a conscious state of pure awareness and wisdom, be it that awareness in the absence of wisdom is not really a state of awareness therefore love.

Wisdom does not shun other forms of awareness, so to someone like me it is obvious who is of wisdom and who only speaks of awareness and love in the absence of wisdom. So many people censor what is not of their own awareness and love, a form of apartheid system put in motion!! In a real sense, people of wisdom are in the complete absence of the embarrassment of apartheid systems. Apartheid systems are not systems that are intentionally avoided, it is simply a state that cannot exist within a state of wisdom, I mean really.

So can you lead a horse to water, even to save it's life, a horse that has embraced some kind of apartheid system? Not when the horse sees the water as a threat to their apartheid system, a threat in taking away their security blanket.

So do you allow the horses to die of thirst, die due to the lack of knowledge and awareness, truth?

All I am going to say is that a certain number of horses can be saved, and if you wish to try to save these horses, so it must be. The water must be presented in a way so that the water does not seem like a threat to the horses security, knowing that each and every horse has it's own idea of what represents security and a threat to this security. What should come first, the good of the people of an apartheid system or the good of all of man kind, remembering many people have been coerced to think the embracement of an apartheid system is for the good of all, of course wisdom tells us something quite different?

Still Hunters and Gatherers!!

Written by Mathew Naismith

I sit here today and wonder; will the human collective consciousness ever evolve from a consciousness of hunting and gathering? The Neanderthalic instincts of hunting and gathering are still well and truly alive today. How many wars are created and countries decimated or invaded to gather up wealth and power through hunting down a quarry for what it possesses?

I am not being critically judgmental here, having the instincts of a Neanderthal isn't bad or good, negative or positive; it's just simply an existence or a consciousness mentality to exist by or not. All I am saying is that we haven't consciously evolved much from a Neanderthalic conscious mentality. Look at it this way, how many of us hunt down knowledge to gather? How many of us hunt down wealth and power for personal possession and accumulation? What do devout religious parishioners do? Hunt down would be parishioners to gather in a flock, this is also no different to multinationals who hunt down anything they are able to gain wealth and power from.

Our mentality today is still primarily ruled by Neanerthalic instincts of accumulation or acquisition through hunting which is another form of searching; the difference today is we often do it for a desire rather than a need!!

A good example of this is devised from a couple of questions as follow. Is the accumulation or gathering knowledge a desire or a need? Seen as knowledge is highly destructive, especially to our environment, and is set up to primarily assist Neandertholic mentalities like multinationals to become wealthier and more powerful, is knowledge a need or a desire unlike awareness? Don't make the mistake and think knowledge and awareness are the same, there not as I will explain.

Everything is separated through knowledge where awareness actually brings everything together as one. We can only accumulate knowledge through acknowledgment of what we are aware of; this takes us to label everything different, however, awareness isn't an accumulation to start with, its just an awareness void of a need to comprehend everything through numerous labels for acknowledgment. Within this kind of mentality, there is simply no separation.

Yes, this isn't easy to comprehend and acknowledge when we are conditioned to be primarily of a Neanderthalic consciousness. Look at it this way; we still look at awareness as being accumulated through knowledge but knowledge of what?  This is the point. There is absolutely nothing new about the knowledge we are using today or the knowledge we will be using, it all comes from the same source and has always existed. When you consider, for a small example, that spectacles and a high tensile steel hammer have been found to be thousands of years old, there is simply nothing new about the knowledge we use today and will use tomorrow. All knowledge simply comes from a single source, a source that is whole in nature unlike knowledge which is naturally divided in nature.   

This singular source is known by many names, God, oneness, the zero point, pure awareness and so on. Taoism doesn't have a name for this point of origin; it's just simply being of the Tao, of God if you like. This very source is the source of all knowledge void of separation, only through hunting down and accumulating knowledge is this source then separated and only through this separation can we experience conflict. This is why there is no conflicts within a pure aware state of consciousness, there is simply no separation, only through hunting and gathering is there separation therefore conflict.

It's really a bit of a con when we are made to believe we need knowledge to become aware. As what has been predicted by numerous sources, the Mayan calendars are a good example of this, we are entering into a major conscious change, I think this means we will no longer need to accumulate knowledge to become aware, we will simply enter a state of consciousness and become aware void of using any kind of Neanderthalic consciousness of hunting and gathering. This kind of consciousness will in the end be of no use to us. 

This universe/dimension is naturally of extreme motions; this energy will of course quite naturally influence any consciousness to be the same within this sphere.

If you take any notice of what any of the great wise and aware people have written, they didn't want to change this sphere or even change what this sphere has created within  it's influence, all they wanted to do is influence this sphere to be more moderate, more balanced, within  this sphere of influence. People like Rumi, Jesus, Confucius, Buddha, Muhammad and Gandhi and so on, are to me the wise and aware. When you read what they actually wrote, you will find they never tried to force change, only to influence a needed change to occur. Notice a needed change as to a desired change especially on a personal level.      

Confucius, for example, was displeased when he passed away, not because he didn't change he's environment, he's sphere of influence, he wasn't pleased because he thought he didn't influence the sphere he was apart of enough to make a real long lasting difference. I think you will also find this with Jesus, in actuality, this was probably the case with many others as well.

The hunter and gatherer will always force a change to occur instead of simply being influential, this is after all is it's nature within a highly motional universe/dimension. However, if we reread the great writings of the wise and aware while thinking in influence instead of change, we would find new messages to be had within these wise and aware writings. The message is of moderation and balance while within a sphere of excessive motions. We are simply not just the hunter and gatherer, we are all much more than this, of course only the true wise aware will want to know this and influence change in moderation and balance, leaving excessive/extreme motions out of their own sphere of activity.
