Waking Up in Bliss

Written by Mathew Naismith


Waking up in bliss, in other words being in a euphoric state of mind and consciousness well being. One can awaken at any time in the night and experience this this state, keeping one awake due to the euphoric experience experienced. One can also wake up in the morning with this experience or experience this state any time during the day, of course this is dependent on how one enters into this state of euphoria.


What can induce this state of euphoria? Firstly, we need to understand what this state of euphoria is. The following dictionary interpretation is not what I would state that a state of euphoric bliss relates to.


Euphoric: Exaggerated feeling of well-being or elation. "Euphoric recall is the most difficult of the three memory distortions to understand. Euphoria is the experience of pleasure or excitement and intense feelings of well-being and happiness. Certain natural rewards and social activities, such as aerobic exercise, laughter, listening to or making music and dancing, can induce a state of euphoria.”


Explaining this state as simply a state of exaggeration and distortion I would say, in a fact check way, missing content or of partly false information, a well excepted source of missing content and/or partly false or misleading information in a material world. In actuality, this is to be expected in a state of mind and consciousness primarily based on the material world and this is the point in inducing a state of bliss, even when experiencing trauma. You guessed it, the state of euphoric bliss I am talking about is not based on any kind of mind and consciousness of the material world, this euphoric blissful state is based on the immaterial.


I would myself use the law interpretation of the meaning that immaterial relates to, “Of no importance or relevance especially to a law case.” The other meaning of immaterial of course refers to a state of existence of a source of energy in the absence of matter or form.


A euphoric state of mind, in a world primarily based on the material, is of course of the distortion and exaggeration of mind and consciousness, a state of euphoric bliss based on the immaterial is not. Of course the material mind and consciousness will state that a feeling of euphoric bliss is of exaggeration and distortion, even when materially induced but especially when immaterially induced. To the immaterial mind and consciousness, the material world has no importance and relevance in if one experiences a blissful state or not and this is the point, the material world should not be the primary source for experiencing a state of euphoric bliss.


This is the trick here though. It is not that the material world has no importance and relevance to the immaterial mind and consciousness, it is that a state of mind and consciousness is not primarily based on the material aspects of life but on the immaterial. No, to be of the immaterial world does not take one to see no importance and relevance of the material world, it is just one must avoid inducing immaterial euphoric bliss by desiring this state of mind and consciousness to begin with, otherwise the bliss experienced is based on the material world by seeing no importance and relevance in relation to the material world. In other words avoiding inducing an immaterial state primarily based on a desire to escape a material world.


It is tricky because one must not attach any importance and relevance in relation to the material world, to matter or form, while at the same time see the importance and relevance of the material world. It is not that the material world becomes unimportant or irrelevant to the immaterial mind and consciousness, it is that euphoric bliss is not primarily governed by the material world but the immaterial world. It is simple but tricky. One, while of the material world and of form/matter, must be willing to give up all material possessions while avoiding giving up these possessions to induce an immaterial based euphoric state of bliss. To enter into a state of immaterial euphoric bliss is not primarily based on not being of the material world and of material possessions, but of not experiencing trauma brought on by the absence of the material world and of material possessions. You must really feel no loss at all, period.


In all, it should matter not if the material world is present or absent within your existence and yes, humanity could still wake up in bliss.

Avoiding the CAVID19 Delirium



Written by Mathew Naismith 


I am just bewildered, even on the net it is hard to find the truth in relation to the Coronavirus and CAVID19, especially to do with treatments. It is mind boggling in what the media and governments are doing at present.  

There are more people dying of the flu this season even though more people are vaccinated.This is significant, more people are dying of the flu even though more people are vaccinated.

There are two reasons for this. One, people have become complaisant and don’t take care.How many people cough into their hands and touch everything? How many go out in the public with severe flu related illnesses and literally kill other people through their complacency?

Two, I am not sure that there isn’t one vaccine, so-called cure, that doesn’t takeover or kill off the immune system. People should build up their immune system while vaccinated or taking antibiotics, however, what reverse affects can building up your own immune system have on the vaccine or antibiotic treatment and well being?

With the drugs we already have there are treatments out there right now. I have even heard that drugs used for the treatment of aids have worked.


Please, don’t believe everything that the media and government portray. Religiously believing in what the two known biggest deceivers and liars are saying is a crazy thing to do at present.

I was laughed at last year when I said to people to cough into their sleeves instead of their hands, pin a hanky or hand towel to your sleeve. Even my doctor thought I was taking this too far!!

Let’s put this into perspective, more people are dying of the flu, cancer and heart disease year in year out, not from the Coronavirsu or even CAVID19. Year in year out fatalities relate to an epidemic; we should be cleaning up our manmade environment period, however, in literal terms the bad health industry today is worth billions of dollars.


“The SARS-CoV-2 virus belongs to the family of viruses called coronaviruses, which also includes the viruses that cause the common cold, and the viruses that cause more serious infections such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which was caused by SARS-CoV in 2002, and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), which was caused by MERS-CoV in 2012. Like the other coronaviruses, the SARS-CoV-2 virus primarily causes respiratory tract infections, and the severity of the COVID-19 disease can range from mild to fatal. Serious illness from the infection is caused by the onset of pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).”

Also, a 95 year old Italian women survived CAVID19, not just a coronavirus based cold infection, so ease it down people. Most people are simply experiencing a mild reaction, but like any infectious disease there will be those who will greatly suffer, as always.

I have a respiratory aliment that even cold air entering the lungs can cause a serious infection, am I in anyway hysterical or paranoid? No, but there are a few of reasons for this.

My past environments have conditioned me to become resilient, as the definition of resilient means to, “Recovering readily from adversity, depression, or the like.” This is not being psychologically hardened or tough, it is simply resilient, to simply adapt to various environments one may find oneself in.

I also try to keep my psyche in good health over and above my physical health. Sounds weird!! What is a solders primary weapon? Most people would say some kind of physical killing device. I point to my head. Your mind is your main weapon or protection against an aggressive environment as of a soldier or spiritually aware person. Is the government or media focusing on this? No, quite the opposite. 

Also, my main focus isn’t on what is material but what is immaterial, in that what is extraneous, meaning, for which is externally material to that which is internally non-material. The material is simply a finite perspective or entity, a perspective or entity that has a starting an ending points of a transitory existence. People like me simply focus on the immaterial instead of on something that is limited in perspective consciousness. Our consciousness becomes of unlimited perspectives. This simply means all that is of starting and ending points, materialism as a whole, is not of our main focus, so every passing of the material is less dramatical to our egos than of an ego of the main focus of the material.

In times like this, people like me are so fortunate but sadly many are not and not necessarily by choice. I chose my way but many of the material are simply lead as of at present.

A Separation of Energy/Consciousness




Written by Mathew Naismith

Yes, there is a separation of energies, but one not need to worry about this separation as long as the soul is not conditioned to materialism.



So many souls are now being primarily or exclusively conditioned to materialism, it is though the immaterial part of the soul never existed. Yes, even after the demise of the material self, material reality still can exist for souls primarily or exclusively conditioned to materialism through the attachments to material realities. The gap between souls also of the immaterial and souls primarily or exclusively of materialism is growing, giving a sense of separation of soul energies. To put it another way, when our souls are conditioned to material realities, our souls are no longer the observer but simply become a participator. The observing soul is of the immaterial, while observing the material, where the participating soul is of the material in the absence of the observer.



Observing soul = the immaterial while aware of the material, oneness.



Participating soul = the material while unaware of the immaterial, but also, only aware of the material that is desired to become aware of thus creating a further separation of energy. Lost souls.



It is impossible for the immaterial observer to separate immaterial energy from material energy. This includes not separating energy into positives and negatives, good and bad, wrong and right, black and white, etc, which seems to be very popular in today western spirituality.



Even today when I approach souls wholly conditioned to materialism, there is no negative or positive perceptions, just simply a perception of a soul simply lost within its own creation. I am often smiling at this point in realisation of how unaware such a soul has become. To a soul that is lost, this would be called narcism, an exceptional interest in and admiration for yourself, when this is simply a state of awareness and immaterialism in observation of the material.



While a soul is also in observation of the material, even of their own participation in the material, there is no sense of separation, just an observation of lost soul's perception of the separation of energies. At no time are material realities not being observed, this means that perceptions of separation of energies are illusionary. You can't create for which is not being observed, for in observation is everything created. 



So the egos query might now be, so this means the observer created material illusions as well!!



The observing soul simply observes what the soul participates in. Often an illusion is created through the observed participation when souls become primarily or exclusively conditioned to materialism. Lost souls cannot exist in the absence of observation of participation. It is the observation of participation that creates lost souls. If you like, nothing can exist unless of God's creation. If all observing souls observed souls primarily or exclusively conditioned to the immaterial, the existence of lost souls simply couldn't exist.



So why doesn't the immaterial soul just stop observing lost souls?



Ignorance or an unawareness in relation to desires is of a soul in participation, not of a soul in observation. An observing soul doesn't desire or even choose what to observe, the observing soul observes all of what is and could be, which includes lost souls existing in an illusion of separated energy. It is simply observed that souls have and will become lost to materialism. This was always going to occur when souls also become a participator, especially when a soul becomes primarily or exclusively conditioned to materiam.



As there has always been it would seem, a number of people stay aware of the soul and the immaterial, while also aware and even participating in the material. The separation of souls has eventuated through quite a number of souls becoming primarily or exclusively conditioned to the material. It would seem that a soul primarily or exclusively conditioned to the material will become lost, lost within its own creation of materialism, often in the absence of the immaterial. You could say in the absence of the divine if you like.



To me, it is wise that a soul keeps a balance between the material and the immaterial while in participation of the material. One way or the other often leads to a soul becoming lost it would seem. Yes, even souls primarily or exclusively conditioned to the immaterial can also become lost, while in participation of the material. In the absence of balance, there can only be imbalance. This imbalance to me can only lead to souls becoming lost within their own creation.



For myself, at times I find it quite difficult in maintaining this balance, for so often I become too much of a participator in the absence of the observer. You know what, this is called being human. There is nothing wrong in experiencing a lost soul, it is just when the soul becomes excessively lost is when the human self and even the soul becomes destructive unto itself and everything else. Lucky for humans, there seems to be souls that are not lost right throughout human history, the trick is, all we need is the wisdom to listen to them.

That For Which Seems Lost



Written by Mathew Naismith
 To lose something that you never
had to lose in the first place to be lost!!

Sounds funny doesn't it? To lose something you thought you could lose if lost. Think of it this way. A couple are married and one of the couple believes the other partner is as deeply in love as they are. After awhile this turns out not to be true. The question is, can one lose someone's love that never really existed before hand? It can if the partner believes their love was reciprocated.

In all honesty though, you can't really lose what you never had to lose in the first place, even when it feels you have lost. In all practicality you had nothing to lose in the first place. It is handy to think philosophically like this when you feel a loss in this way, "I didn't have it in the first place to have lost it"!!

I actually go further with this, in that material life itself isn't something I have or own to be able to lose in the first place, therefore life itself can't be lost to me.

So why do we feel a loss even when we didn't really have the loss to lose in the first place?

Possession = The act of having and controlling property, and, Anything owned or possessed

The feeling of owning something has to do with control. In relation to love, an expected or desired return of love to the same degree. Sadly, often marriage is seen as an ownership so expectations become of desires and of course our desires often have control of over us. It would seem control gives us something to lose even when we don't have anything to become lost in the first place.

How many people today think they have to take control? In this case there is always someone else trying to take control by controlling you, leading to a vicious endless cycle of ownership of control.

Yes, I can feel a material loss, but I know that no material possession really belonged to me to lose in the first place. Sadly, love is often treated as a material possession or something expected or demanded from others. Do I expect to be loved by my wife? No, my wife's love is simply something given by her but not owned by me, it is simply a blessing.

Creating a Healthy Environment



Written by Mathew Naismith

After watching a documentary called One Strange Rock, narrated by Will Smith, the realisation we are one with the Earth is slowly coming to fruition. Of course to go on from this is to realise we are one with the universe, not just the Earth, solar system or galaxy. What we are simply talking about here is in relation to our material self, the immaterial self is thought or known to go way beyond any universe or material being.

We now realise the material part of humans is simply a by-product of Earth. Of course this also means that humans and the Earth itself is a by-product of the universe. Humans are simply a by-product of the present environment, like any living entity is in accordance with their present environment. What we create materially, we become materially.

I found that the documentary wasn't altogether honest. Avoiding the degradation of man's influence upon the Earths natural environment was too evident. Also, stating how big our brains are, therefore depicting our intelligence in comparison to all other living entities, even in the universe as a whole, is also dishonest. No other living entity purposely destroys the very same environment that created it. How humans presently measure intelligence is quite amusing.

However, in our present environment, which we have created, any consciousness that is honest to a great degree will be scorned and/or ignored. This documentary wasn't altogether honest but it wasn't altogether dishonest either. Honesty was evident without being too honest within the present created environment of dishonesty. There are other astronauts, such as Edgar Mitchell, who realised and tried to comprehend and understand the existence of our material and immaterial world/environment without separating one from the other. A created dishonest consciousness will only accept honesty to a degree. Considering that a dishonest consciousness environment is of dishonesty, any honest consciousness will seem foreign to it and even seen as a threat to this created environment of dishonesty. How many spiritually aware people see other people's environment threatening to their own environment? It's the dame thing.

It is the same thing because all the environments humans can create come from the same source. Once you realise that any environment we create comes from the same source, the threat of other environments becomes neutralised and nullified. It just is what it is.

So does this mean we should just accept it is what it is?

If you are unable to influence an environment, accept by force or by deceit, yes, accept it is what it is, to do otherwise is to be of the environment you are trying to influence. However, this doesn't mean you can't live within your own created environment.  

Is it deceitful, like the documentary mentioned here, to only be partially honest?

As I have proven to myself, to be anything but partially honest within a created environment of dishonesty, is only going to create one kind of reaction, a reaction totally forcefully against any other environment remotely threatening the existence of the present environment.

So why be more than partially honest within such an environment, seen as being partially honest is more influential upon such a dishonest created environment?

To me, being partially honest isn't changing a thing. In all honesty, humans have always been partially honest such as, there is a God or a source of creation of all things but it is depicted to be of man's image, a material representation instead of an immaterial representation. Of course many of us have now gotten to the stage of refuting the existence of our immaterial self's altogether, no matter what evidence their is to depict otherwise.

A true sense of honesty isn't a threat to a created dishonest environment, but it can seem that way to a crated dishonesty conscious environment. A true sense of honesty has always been present within human consciousness, no matter what environment human consciousness creates. This honesty is present within an awareness of all and the wisdom this kind of awareness creates. If this kind of environment was a threat to the present environment of dishonesty, this created environment of dishonesty, or of partial honesty, would have long ago been enveloped or totally eradicated an environment of dishonesty and partial honesty.

So why isn't this kind of honesty more influential upon an environment not of it's own?

A dishonest consciousness has the desire to be only of one environment or the other, be it of a material environment or an immaterial environment. Being of an environment of honesty, no matter what our desires may be, is of all environments, of material and immaterial environments. Why would such an environment desire to force change upon one environment on the other, while in favour of one environment over the other?

As depicted in the documentary, Earth is our home, not just the place we live on Earth. This is forgoing, in all honesty, that the universe is our home, materially, but so is our immaterial environment.

An honest environment isn't by force or trickery, but by choice.....

Improving Upon Our Weaknesses



Written by Mathew Naismith

I wrote the following to further explain where I was coming from in relation to my last post, Human Existence - A Balancing Act

"Indeed my friend, we are one despite our differences in culture and mind. Because I am not into what is good and bad, wrong and right, negative and positive, unlike the western mind in control, there are no negative or positive tags in relation to the western and eastern mind. As I will explain in my next post, both the western and eastern mind has a vital part to play in life for they are apart of life."

Also:

"Look at this way, the western mind most often desires to separate the physical/materiel world from the spiritual, only desiring to be of the spiritual or material world. The eastern mind doesn't do this as it is of oneness, a oneness that sees a connection between the material and spiritual world in the absence of separation and division.

The western spiritual mind often determines that the material world is unbecoming as the western mind is quite critical within its judgement. The eastern mind isn't critical within its judgement but simply observant of what can be improved. As it is stated, the western mind will build upon its strengths while the eastern mind improves upon its weaknesses. One creates balance, the other an imbalance!!"

In all honesty, how many western minded spiritual people do you know desire to separate the spiritual world from the material world? I really don't think being spiritual is to do with separating one from the other more, in truth quite the opposite. The sense of oneness to start with is the realisation that everything is connected and of one. Yes, it is difficult while becoming spiritually aware that the desire to feel more in harmony, secure and loving, is more desirable over and above anything else that doesn't fulfil these desires but we must avoid this occurring. The desire to dispel everything in some way that isn't of what we desire to feel is quite strong.

Let's be honest here, the western mind is going to have a far harder time of becoming spiritually aware than the eastern mind, this is why it is wise to get to know your eastern mind. The western mind is perfect for getting to know the material world as the tools created to do so by the western mind is unlimited, as the eastern mind is perfect for getting to know the spiritual world.

Yes, as of the eastern mind, the western mind has its place, problems only occur when the western mind takes over from the eastern mind in all of us. Considering that the western mind is of taking control, and the eastern mind is of releasing ourselves of control, it is by no mistake that a predominant western mind will take control of what the eastern mind controls. The funny thing is, the eastern mind never works by taking control but of releasing itself from control, within this action, the human self is released from its various limitations that control creates.

Control means to take power to direct or determine; to determine a result in accordance with the control expressed thus limiting all expressions to certain variables or values.

As the western mind will no doubt take offence to what I am stating here, the eastern mind won't, even when stating that the western mind is better at knowing about the material world than the eastern mind. The eastern mind simply sees this as something that needs to be worked on, not just something to express disdain towards unlike the western mind that is a lot easier to offend than the eastern mind. What is the western minds strength? Knowing about the material world. Where is the world at, at present in relation to the eastern and western mind? The world is obviously predominantly expressive of the western mind. What ability does the western mind focus on the most? Its strengths while even deliberately ignoring its weaknesses, at times at any cost!! A good example of this is the environment we are destroying, the very thing humans rely on for their existence. Yes, the Chinese are destroying their own environment as well, only because they are predominately expressive of  the western mind to compete in a western minded controlled world.

So what is a western dominated world focusing on the most? Its strengths, which is control, power, material wealth and global dominance, etc, also, anything and everything that doesn't pertain or is relevant to its strengths. This is why westernised spirituality, even when based on eastern spirituality, is often used to take more control and gain more power while in the material world. The western spiritual mind simply primarily focuses on the spiritual is in relation to taking more control, not what eastern spirituality is about, releasing ourselves from control.

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” – Lao Tzu

 “As spiritual searchers we need to become freer and freer of the attachment to our own smallness in which we get occupied with me-me-me. Pondering on large ideas or standing in front of things which remind us of a vast scale can free us from acquisitiveness and competitiveness and from our likes and dislikes. If we sit with an increasing stillness of the body, and attune our mind to the sky or to the ocean or to the myriad stars at night, or any other indicators of vastness, the mind gradually stills and the heart is filled with quiet joy. Also recalling our own experiences in which we acted generously or with compassion for the simple delight of it without expectation of any gain can give us more confidence in the existence of a deeper goodness from which we may deviate. (39)”  – Ravi Ravindra

“Life is a balance between holding on and letting go.” Rumi

Quelling Our Reactions, Our Motions.



Written by Mathew Naismith

Where most spiritual teachings, especially Eastern teachings, teach and guide us to express less motions through practices and awareness like meditation and oneness, we are expressing more motions and not just in the West.

I was thinking of winding back my interactions, my own motions, for a while, thinking that my readers and I need time out, my dreams stated otherwise last night. One dream seemed quite long on the subject of our excessive/extreme reactions. It is psychologically understandable that a consciousness that judges parts of humanity as negative and even toxic or demonic, will desire to feel better by any means. This includes means that express excessive/extreme motions in reaction.

Let's be honest, love and light and positive thinking is in counteraction, a reaction to what we perceive to be negative, toxic, demonic, etc. What would our reactions be if we didn't judge certain parts of humanity as being all these things? The odds are that we wouldn't be as expressive of excessiveness/extremes as we are now. What occurs when a white man judges a black man being negative in any sense to the white man? This kind of action usually creates a reaction of excessiveness/extremes. In all honesty, are not a lot of us doing the same by expressing a simular mentality towards a judged negative? This is exactly why I often state about staying away from the perceptions of negatives and positives as much as possible.

In truth, people like me compare the suns violence and destructiveness to man, we observe humanity comes nowhere near to the motions expressed by the sun. So if the sun isn't judged as being negative, toxic and demonic, etc, why are parts of humanity so critically judged in this way? In truth, our reactions wouldn't be as excessive/extreme as they are today, within this, we wouldn't judge humanity so critically. Humanity is what it is, neither perfect nor totally imperfect, just simply lost within its own creation in certain areas and circumstances. Yes, some of our programs, our isms and ideologies, are infected with the virus excessiveness/extremism as explained in my previous posts, however, we can rectify this.

The following interaction between Carolyn and me is on the topic materialism, how materialism is all about the feel good industry at the cost of humanity as a whole. I should state that when we become more aware, feeling good within ourselves and the feel of love and light comes naturally. Instead of materially/physically primarily focusing on love and light and positive thinking in excess and reaction, we spiritually focus on awareness and wisdom that naturally creates love and light and a positive/constructive reality. Imagine creating a more constructive reality that isn't based on excessive/extreme reactions, in other words on far less motions!! Let's be honest, the more motion we create, the more destructive we become, it's the natural law of motion/inertia.

Carolyn's Reply
Very interesting Mathew - as always. I wonder if a possible root of materialism is anything to do with Darwin's theory of 'survival of the fittest'. Could this subconsciously have been internalised and down the generations emerges in the form of acquiring as much as possible?

Reply
Good question Carolyn. Is it of natural law that the fittest will prevail over all else within a material world? I would have to say yes, I would be lying to myself if I said otherwise.

Is the natural law of spirituality also not of the survival of the fittest? In this case the survival of the most aware within a materialistic reality. In saying this, will the people solely of materialism prevail in the end?

Materialism seems to totally rely on how good we feel; of course how good we feel has become our primary objective, leaving awareness and wisdom way behind in being our primary objective. Awareness tells us to chastise (guide) our children for their own benefit in the long run. Feeling good tells us to not chastise our children for the sake of us feeling good within the present. Chastising children for their own good is also a negative it would seem these days!! 

Indeed Carolyn, in a material/physical world, the laws of the survival of the fittest are absolute, however, what is truly defined as being the fittest? I don't think materialistic feel good isms and ideologies (programs) define the fittest in my mind. Yes, within the present but the energy they use is soon used up as awareness is virtually non-existent. We need awareness to wisely know how to use energy within a physical material existence, this is clearly not occurring.   

As I have said in a previous post, we are a consciousness lost within its own creation, a creation based primarily on feeling good!!

I often find your queries quite compelling Carolyn, a sign of conscious maturity (awareness) in my mind. I often relate conscious maturity to conscious awareness; it's pleasant to see this within you.

Carolyn's Reply
Thank you Mathew! You are always inspiring!

Yes I agree in the survival of the most aware - perhaps the riches we seek are inner ones.
It is interesting what you say about children, as a primary school teacher I see more and more parents unwilling to guide their children, even young ones - it is as if nothing much matters - I notice the 'it doesn't matter' mentality all around these days.

Maybe if we could all sit with our own feelings in moments of stillness we could get to know ourselves better and begin to form healthy relationships with the environment and each other, and ourselves? Just mulling! :)

Reply
A very good example why I saver our friendship. Good one Carolyn, well explained as always.
