Being Truly Spiritual

Written by Mathew Naismith

Spiritual to me is a comprehension beyond normal 3rd dimensional aspects, aspects which are defined as being of material body, form or substance. Being spiritual is also the awareness and comprehension that consciousness isn't just of and created by the physical brain.

Is being spiritual extricating oneself from 3rd dimensional aspects thus creating a safe haven from human existence? What did the truly aware and wise do? What did Buddha, Jesus, Confucius, Rumi and so on do in their lives? Seen as I have a good friend who is a Hindu, the following is the Hindu equivalent to the above mentioned. Sama Darshanam (Equal Views) Samana Darshana (Aligned Views) Manava Shastra (Human Science).  

These very wise and aware consciousnesses went out of their safe havens even while and especially while enlightening themselves. What are we doing? Protecting our safe havens from all that can enlighten us!!

Buddha and Jesus sacrificed their human safe havens. If you are not willing to lose what you have gained, you really haven't gained anything. Any fixated attachments we are not willing to sacrifice for the good of all is what we really should be avoiding, not what could be enlightening us.

Look at Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, Indian spiritualists for example; they sacrificed their haven to be truly spiritual, wise and aware, what are a lot of western spiritual people doing today? Sacrificing everything else to create and protect their haven, they are not willing, like the wise and aware, to come close to sacrificing their haven for other people. Anything remotely threatening their haven is usually deemed as negative/toxic!!

Being Human: Can we have a human experience without being human? This is like; can we have an experience of being a mother without being a mother of a child? It's the so-called lower qualities (vibrations) that make the higher qualities so high. Could the existence or perception of a God exist if it wasn't for the lower qualities?

On the other hand, experiencing being human doesn't mean we will be of humaneness as being a mother doesn't mean we will be a mother to our child.

To the true wise and aware, there are no lower qualities, just simply less aware consciousness, it's these less aware consciousnesses that create a perception of lower and higher qualities of being human. It really does take a perception of a lower quality to perceive a higher quality.

Consider this, what would a truly wise and aware consciousness desire or even need while in a state of complete contentment? This state is often referred to as a higher realm, vibration or ultimate state of reality by human consciousness. Desire or need within this state has no purpose, it simply doesn't exist. There is also no desire or need to be in this state so this kind of consciousness can find itself in any state at any given time. This kind of consciousness has no need or desire to be in this co-called ultimate state, desiring or even needing to be in this state is human. What makes human consciousness human? Its awareness, every state of consciousness is based on awareness and the wisdom to know how to use that awareness.

God's and Demigod's: We are simply still trying to be demi-gods, how many people in wealth and power today act as they are God's and Goddess's? The Rothschild's are worth over 500 trillion, the God like power and status this wealth has gives them is beyond words, they are able to do as they please as they can buy anyone and anything. Of course if they have no need or desire to buy certain people or countries, these people and countries are often dealt with.

An actual demigod is of divine nature, being that they are descendants of God's and Goddesses, basically, descendants from an aware and wise consciousness beyond most human comprehension. The people in power today are not God's or even true demigod's, they are simply human beings of a basic human consciousness, an awareness not much above other humans in certain areas but a consciousness way below other humans in other areas. The truly aware and wise have no need or desire for wealth, power and control, just to simply serve.

It's basically the age of false demigod's, an age of conditioned ignorance as opposed to an age of true awareness. How many of us are still trying to reach this ultimate state of reality, in other words a demigod status? To do this of course takes one to negate everything that isn't of themselves by judging everything not of their own vibrations as being negative or toxic, something to be avoided instead of assisted. What are the false demigod's in power over the world doing? It's all of a false demigod status.

Only a false demigod will desire or see a need of a higher status or higher quality of being. All I see is that people need to stop trying to be of a demigod status, or of a lower status, and be of what they truly are. Within this simple act, all will reveal itself to what you truly are which is everything without question or exception.

Do we desire to be everything without exception? We only desire to be of what we desire, no more, this is simply a false demigod status, a consciousness of false bearing (standing). We are much more than we could humanly perceive, of course to perceive this takes a consciousness beyond human conscious understanding. Simply don't limit yourself to a demigod status, especially a false one.

This is to me a true depiction of what being truly spiritual is......           

The Face of Mockery Revealed

Written by Mathew Naismith

The above quote for translation purposes: "Mockery is the means used by the comlexed ignorant to feel wise."  

Exposing mockery (contempt) and revealing mockery shouldn't be critically judged as negative. I'm not sure any awareness should be critically judged simply as negative thus showing contempt. Revealing anything for what it is, is truth, of course today a lot of truth is simply judged as being negative. While having so much contempt for the truth, evolving from a state of lies, deceit and contempt, is going to be impossible.  

I was recently insistently mocked on the post titled, "Simply not Knowing". I think simply stating, "They know not what they do, if they did, they wouldn't and couldn't be abusive or bullying, they simply couldn't be", related to Christianity therefore something to have contempt for. I also mentioned atheism and religion in the same context in my replies.

If at anytime we are mocking therefore showing contempt for anything, is a sign we are well and truly still of a 3rd dimensional reality, a reality that ignores awareness due to its negativity. To judge any kind of awareness negative is mockery, a state of contempt. Revealing mockery (contempt) within our environment isn't negative, it's revealing therefore of awareness. To reveal anything of our environment void of contempt is awareness, however, to reveal anything of our environment while in contempt isn't awareness, it's simply ignorance of what is of our environment.

How many people are aware that by judging so many negatives, especially when they are seen as toxic, are a show of contempt? Our present 3rd dimensional reality is highly contemptuous, how is expressing more contempt going to allow us to evolve further than our present 3rd dimensional reality or mentality? 

This is the trick while evolving in such a reality; desist in expressing contempt in a highly contemptuous reality. Mockery therefore contempt is flourishing (thriving) in our present reality because we are simply not aware of how contemptuous we have become.

One thing to remember, you are your environment, this includes everyone and everything around you. You are not in judgment of others when revealing contempt; you are simply becoming more aware of your environment which is you. Never separate yourself or think you are not of your environment, to do so is a show of contempt, a desired separation to what you think or desire you are not. 

The following was I reply I submitted in relation to this topic, I hope it's more informative.                              

___________________________

I don't want to mock people who mock others of different views and beliefs, but I do want to expose them. The funny thing is they often expose themselves without much effort. These people actually mock themselves.

People who are conditioned to mockery therefore contempt, are not bad or negative, they simply know not what they do, if they did, they wouldn't and couldn't do what they do.

Within people like me, there is no contempt, a lack of respect accompanied by a feeling of intense dislike. Because some people are conditioned to contempt, they think everyone is conditioned to contempt. Again, they simply know not what they do.

Extremist atheists have not got contempt on their own, people of new age spirituality often show contempt, not just to people but the whole of reality. To judge everything an illusion that isn't of our views is also a sign of contempt. These are the same people who think they are going onto some 5th dimension while still expressing 3rd dimensional traits like contempt to excess!!  

And we wonder why mockery (contempt) has exasperated into what it is today!!

The problem with the truth is it can seem contemptuous to some people when this isn't the case.

Our Humanity

Written by Mathew Naismith

Our humanity is everything from bad to good, black to white, negative to positive, atheism to religion, humanity is phenomenally diverse and it's this diverseness that makes up the big picture, a limitless consciousness.

The small picture is conforming to certain variables only; it's simply a restriction of consciousness to certain variants creating a limited consciousness.

Humanity is the quality of being human which includes all variants of being human. Being human is not good in place of bad, white in place of black, positiveness in place of negativeness or religion in place of atheism; it's all of what is as a whole, the big picture.

Many of us desire for our variant to control and replace all other variants, thus limiting consciousness to certain perspectives and perceptions.

If we take many pieces of the jigsaw out because we don't desire them to be a part of the big picture ourselves, is the jigsaw whole?

Humanity can never be whole as long as we fight for our desired variant to replace all other variants of the whole......

Simply Not Knowing

Written by Mathew Naismith

A lot of people are feeling overwhelmed to what is going on in the world, the problem is the more aware we become, the more aware we will become of man's inhumanities. As it's a dog eat dog world in the natural environment, it's also a dog eat dog world in man's environment, it's perfectly natural for man, human consciousness, to be like this.

Accept human consciousness for what it is, it's not perfect because it's not meant to be perfect or always humane. The natural environment that influences us is passive at times and other times impassive, this is the same as humans are humane at times and inhumane at other times.

Also, try not to judge an environment negative or positive to excess, it is what it is, accept this before being overwhelmed by an environment.

We always have a choice to either be passive and human to being impassive and inhuman, just because our environment influences us to be a certain way, doesn't mean we have to go down that path. Yes, at times our choice is taken away from us but this too is a natural part of this reality, we don't always have control over our choice as our choice is but one of many in a collective consciousness.

I am an advocate against abuse/bullying, the reality at present is inundated with abuse and bullying. I don't allow this to overwhelm me as I know they know not what they do, if they did, they wouldn't be abusive or bullying, they simply couldn't be.

How do you judge something negative when it really does not know what it's doing?  When you are in the know, you simply can't......             

PS. People like me still at times judge our environment harshly, this too is a part of the environment, it's also a part of the process of becoming aware!!   

Escaping From Reality

Written by Mathew Naismith

Today's present reality is all about awareness, an awareness that was once only aware to the people experiencing or involved in a specific occurrence. A good example of this is war; war was only really experienced by the people involved in war. Through today's media this is very different, we are more than ever aware of what is occurring in the world through numerous media outlets.

If we deem war and conflicts simply negative, the effects on us will be inline with how negative we have deemed the world around us to be. The more negatively we deem the world around or the more occurrences we deem negative, the more we are going to desire to escape this reality, strangely enough, a reality of awareness.

Because the reality at present is conflictive therefore simply deemed highly negative, what we will become aware of will be inline with how negative we have deemed everything not of our reality to be. I find it strange that positive people deem so much of the world today simply negative; to me this isn't a true sense of positive thinking. A true sense of positive thinking is to desist in simply deeming everything not of your own desires and personal reality to be negative.

Is everything destructive and violent negative? This seems to be the case these days; this would mean that the sun is exceptionally negative and even demonic especially considering its present solar flares. This is inline with people not just calling other people negative but toxic, is this the new wave of positive thinking? It would certainly seem so, to people like me, this kind of mentality couldn't be further from a true sense of positive thinking. In actually it's highly negative; of course this would only be the case if I used the same mentality, that everything violent and destructive was negative.

To deem everything that is violent and destructive and not of our personal desires and reality negative and even toxic, are expressions of a high degree of violence and destructiveness. A true positive person has no will or desires to destroy everything they have deemed negative; they instead accept the reality and work with it. They certainly don't try to escape it, the desire to do so simply infer a high degree of negativity, a negativity towards everything not of their own personal desires and reality.

Becoming aware within a destructive violent reality is by noway an easy thing to do; it can be most unbecoming and upsetting. The answer isn't to become ignorant to the reality you are currently influenced by; in actuality ignorance does a lot of harm and can even exasperate (worsen) the destructive violence. If we are going to ignore everything we deem negative, all this will do is exasperate destructive violence. The trick is to not simply deem anything negative not of our own personal desires, it's really this simple.

The problem the western mind has with negatives and positive is it most often looks at them as being in conflict with each other, an opposing force rather than a complimenting force. The eastern mind looks at this differently, a good example of this is again the sun, it's highly destructive and violent but it's given life and beauty to the Earth and the solar system as a whole. Imagine looking up at the sky at night and only seeing darkness, an unawareness of other star systems and planets. Imagine not being aware of an engulfing destructive violent force that could be stopped only through awareness, of course this is presently occurring.

I know what's going on over in Syria through my own research. I don't often watch TV and especially the news but while waiting for someone I watched the news. It would have been lucky if 10% of the news broadcast on Syria was correct. The problem with the main media today, which more and more people seem to becoming aware of, is it's built on lies and deception. In this case a so-called negative has created a so-called positive, an awareness of the deception of main stream media.

When did an awareness of our present reality and the truth become negative?

I completely understand, if the psyche is unable or unwilling to face the truth as it really is, it will create its own reality; this is usually accomplished by deeming all other realities negative. As anyone into psychology knows, creating your own desired reality by deeming all else negative is an unhealthy way to live; all this will do is exasperate what you are trying to escape from. Yes, within our own ignorance we might feel good and safe, safe from real reality, the problem with this is that the real reality doesn't go anywhere because we are not dealing with it, we are simply ignoring it to feed our desires.

The problem is we desire to feel good all the time; this is while existing within an existence of extremes. The sun gives life and beauty to a world but can also take it away as it will in the end of its life. Our expectations while existing in an existence of extremes is unrealistic, however, if we work with the reality we have and desist in deeming everything negative, especially what doesn't feed our desires to feel good all the times, the extremes become less extreme simply because of our expectations are not as extreme and unrealistic themselves. 

This is not going to be easy for a lot of people to understand, only because we are conditioned to unrealistic expectations, I know because I have been there. Simply ease back the perception of negative being in opposition to positive all the times, it's simply not. The unawareness today has created an awareness, action reaction, the unawareness being the action which has crested a reaction, an awareness. Just because the present reality is not of the expectations of our desires, doesn't mean the present reality is negative or even toxic, a reality we all need to escape from.

To be truly positive is to see the positives within all the negatives and to accept the negatives for what they are, an awareness simular or dissimilar to the positives. Dissimilarities are not just simply negative; in actuality they can be highly enlightening but only if we don't treat them as an extreme, in an extreme way........              

We Know Not What We Do

Written by Mathew Naismith

These kinds of things simply come to me without exerting any effort; it's simple because there is no effort involved. I think the people who experience this as well will know exactly what I mean; it flows because you are going with the flow.

I don't always go with the flow; this is because I accept that being a part of a reality like ours, going against the flow is a part of this reality. However as of always, balance between going with the flow and against it is always a wise thing to do; everything in moderation no matter how good or right it feels.

The whole self = Our natural flow

Part of the whole self, our present reality = A flow that goes against the natural flow

A thing to consider here, is going against the flow of a reality that goes against the natural flow going against the flow of that reality? Yes, this reality is a tiny part of who we are as a whole, the whole self is of a natural flow, are not realities that are of going against this natural flow also of this natural flow?

How we think is one is against the other; if it's against the natural flow, it's in opposition to the flow. In the whole scheme of existence, there is no opposition as it's all a part of the same natural flow no matter how small that flow might be. Our present reality is a small part of the natural flow even when going against the natural flow of life. Is a fish swimming against the flow of water; not of the natural flow of the life of the water; when the fish goes against the flow of water? Are we not the fish within the water, within a particular reality like the fish!!

We simply don't think like the fish, we think more like a rock when going against the flow, in opposition to the flow. Instead of allowing ourselves to go with the flow, we are like a rock trying to swim like a fish in opposition the flow when acting/thinking like a rock. It's unnatural for a rock to go against the flow like this; we have simply forgotten we are the fish when swimming against the flow, not the rock.

The rock is in opposition when going against the flow, the fish isn't, which reality do we want to experience, the fish or the rocks reality? If it's the fish, we can go against the flow without being in opposition to the flow, if the rock, we must go with the flow at all times otherwise we are in opposition to the natural flow.

What occurred recently is I experienced a glimpse of what we are doing to ourselves. By being the rock while in opposition to its environment, mainly because we desire control of this environment to feed our desires, we have become the rock in opposition to the natural flow of life. A rock going against its environment will be destructive and disruptive to its environment; the natural flow of life, what the rock going against the flow isn't aware of is it's simply hurting itself immensely by doing so.

Being the rock in opposition to its own environment is going to lead to what it's always lead to, its own destruction. Of course any energy source in opposition to its own environment causing its own demise is a part of the natural flow of life also. If we are going to continually act like a rock going against the flow, we will naturally cause our own demise, however, if we choose to be a rock going with the flow or become the fish instead, we will be naturally going with the flow of life.

I chose to be the fish swimming against the flow at times, other people have chosen to be a rock going with the flow and many more people have chosen to be the rock in opposition to the flow. No matter what we choose to be it's all a part of the natural flow of life, it's just everything we choose to be has its own journey to ride out. Yes, the outcome of each journey is different but it still finishes up being a part of the natural flow of life no matter what journey we choose to follow.

It simply came to me, if we really knew what we do, we simply wouldn't do it; we simply wouldn't be the rock in opposition to the natural flow of life. How aware is the rock to its environment compared to the fish? We simply need stop being the rock in opposition, stop thinking in opposition like positive and negative being in opposition to each other all the times for only a rock in opposition to the flow can think like this.

Is a fish going against the flow judging the water negative while swimming against it?  Only a rock going in opposition to the flow could think like this.......

Optimism - An Optimum State

Written by Mathew Naismith

Why would I state that optimism is an optimum state? We might think that optimism is a positive mental state to be in, within this perception it's the most favourable and most rewarding state to be in. I actually don't concur (agree) with this on the grounds that optimism is a positive attribute or state of mind, however, optimism is highly constructive without having to be perceived as a positive.

Optimism looks upon human consciousness holistically, this means that optimism looks upon human consciousness in conjunction with the rest of existence. Basically, human consciousness isn't separated from the environment it's a part of where's pessimism separates everything.

Human consciousness can be highly destructive and violent, when taken in reference to the environment that human consciousness exists in, human consciousness is mild within its destructiveness and violence. A good example of this is the sun, being that the sun is one of the most violent destructive energy sources in the universe, not the most destructive and violent though. It's interesting how an optimist and a pessimist perceive the environment as I will explain.  

Definitions:

                     Optimism; Hopefulness and confidence about the future or the success of something

                     Pessimism; A general disposition to look on the dark side and to expect the worst in all things 

                     Optimum; The best, most favourable or desirable, especially under some restriction

Optimism creates rationality, a sound sense of reasoning, by confidently making reverence to its whole environment in the hope to understand it's own positioning within its existence. This is done without discounting any part of the environment for what ever reason, being it either a positive or negative perception of its environment.

Optimism takes in consideration of both negative and positive reflections, most always looking at the negatives in a favourable way or in reference to other perceived negatives. Reverence isn't made in comparison but in conjunction with. A good example of this is judging human consciousness highly negative and even toxic while excluding making reference to the rest of the environment like the sun.

The point is that optimism doesn't perceive that negatives are simply bad while at the same time making exclusions to these perceived negatives. Optimism optimistically, favourably, looks at everything with the same light, in the same value, void of separation. Perceiving that everything not of my own vibrations, my own reality, is negative or that certain forms of human consciousness are plainly negative and even toxic, is a sign of pessimism, not optimism. Pessimism irrationally looks at certain forms of human consciousness as being negative therefore bad void of making reference to the rest of the environment.

So why isn't optimism of a positive state of mind?

A positive state of mind only takes in and considers the positives while excluding what are perceived to be negative, only the positives of existence are acknowledge. You can't be of a positive mind while including the negatives, the negative state of mind or existence. The negative mind works in the same way by excluding the positives otherwise it's not of a true negative mind.

A mind set to negative or positive thinking creates a state of pessimism, all else not of its own vibrations is excluded. This sounds awfully too familiar today. To a negative mind, the positive mind is highly negative and visa-versa, this is not the same with a balanced mind because a balanced mind creates a state of optimism. Everything is seen in a favourable way through the acceptance of the whole environment the way it is, not just accepting parts of the environment we desire to be of.

Optimism is simply the middle ground between our created and perceived negatives and positives. Let's be honest here, perceptions of negatives and positives are simply perceptions, a creation brought about in the way we perceive either that be optimistically or pessimistically.

Pessimism is of both negative and positives perceptions; pessimism needs an opposing opposite to exist thus we have perceptions and creation of negatives and positives. All of a sudden numerous people are judged as being toxic, excessively negative, how optimistic is this especially in regards to what is being so critically judged and ostracised, not included? To even look at yourself as being of some kind of higher value than judged negatives is quite a dark way to exist. 

You could say that optimism is of both negative and positive energy sources working in balance, the thing is the union of negatives and positives in perfect balance negate or neutralise each other. They work as one void of separation as in the perceptions of negatives and positives.

Is it positive and optimistic to refute an obvious occurrence because it's negative? Optimism looks at the negative occurrence and tries to make the best of it, pessimism simply ignores the obvious. You can see how a true state of optimism creates a state of rationality and pessimism creates a state of irrationality. One takes in consideration of the whole picture while the other only takes in what it desires to be of, the small picture.

I really hope I have explained this better, an optimistic view........
