Entry 390 - Who Really Are You?

-
12/23/20

Our hair is like the grass, our skin like the dirt. Our fingers like the branches, our likeness like God. Our eyes are like galaxies. Our nose canals with breath entering in like the wind through a tunnel. Our fingerprints like the stump of a tree. Our ears like strings vibrating on a guitar. Our brain like a radio transmitting signals into images. Do you see the universe outside of you is also within you?

The interconnectedness between you and everything else within your body runs in beautiful harmony, but can also go into disarray. You are not conscious of each individual cell, yet billions of these cells within you are symbiotically living together as one—moving, doing, and living every single second.

In your gut, millions of healthy bacteria are fighting the bad bacteria on your behalf. Do you not see that your whole bodily system is a reflection of the universal system in oneness? That our connection with every part of our bodily system is beautifully interconnected, and that all of us in the universal system are also interconnected? We have the story of the universe written into our being.

The connection of everything is so deeply rooted in our existence. It’s like the genetic instructions within our DNA; always there, ever-present. How do you know that your white blood cell knows it’s only a little white blood cell and not much more? How do you know you aren’t a little organism inside God’s body? What did Jesus mean when He referred to us as the Body of Christ? How do you know that you’re just a body and not much more than that? Are you a body having a spiritual experience, or are you a spiritual being having a human experience?

If you’re not your thoughts, then what are you? If you’re not your feelings, then what are you? If you’re not your beliefs, then what are you? If you’re not your personality, then what are you? If you’re aware you aren’t these things, then who is that which is aware of what you are not? Who really are you?

The blessing is to be born into the unknown yet come to know who we are, our true nature, the true interconnectedness we all share. Not by our mind alone, but by every single part of our being—from the cells in our feet to the neurons in our head. The unknown in us realizing the unknown in everything else. Where divinity awakes the true Self from the dream of life, and we respond with, “Thank you, now I’m aware. I was once blind, but now I see.”

Entry 1,630 - January 15th 2023 There’s a difference between spiritualizing life by moralizing and immoralizing daily matters and living life in such a way that uproots preconceived notions of what is considered bad and good by the religious. One intends to force morality into life inorganically according to the groupthink of the religious group, and the other intends to live life more freely and harm-free according to universal principles of life. The latter does not mean you live life without morality but rather that you live beyond the cut-and-dry staples of what each religious group considers moral and immoral. The latter means you go to the essence of what true morality points to—whether someone’s actions cause harm or healing. It does not seek to go beyond that universal essence of morality. It does not puff up the essence with unnecessary doctrines and concepts that clutter and confuse the mind. It does not go beyond the essence to instill unnecessary fear, guilt, and shame. It ...

Entry 45 - Lesson on Compliments

7/28/19 The old self is attracted to negative thoughts and the new self, the real you, is attracted to positive thoughts. The old self embodies all the negative so it wants what it is, and the new self embodies all things positive, so it seeks to be reinforced with what it already is. That's why I believe it is so important to speak truth into people, to reinforce who they truly are because it awakens the real self and keeps them consciously focused on who they really are. There was an experiment done where they insulted a plant and then for another plant, they only spoke nice words, and the results were shocking. The words carried weight on the actual growth or decay of those plants. So if plants don't speak English, then what could possibly be the reason behind one plant living its best life due to the positive words spoken to it and the other plant withering and dying due to negative words being spoken to it in the same controlled situation? Everything, and I mean everyth...

Entry #21 - Lesson on Problems

-
I was contemplating how small I am compared to the universe, and then I considered how much smaller my problems are compared to the universe, to the mountains, and even to me. I considered what even is a problem? And I realized that problems are problems because they affect us in some way that we wish we weren't affected by. However, we have the potential to determine if something is actually a problem or if it can be seen in a new light.  We can focus on how something is negatively affecting us, or we can focus from another point of view and see the positive lessons we can learn it. Truly, a positive perception on this could definitely help retrain ourselves to think much more positively and contribute to a better overall way of thinking when they come our way. So I'm going to propose looking at "problems" in a new light. So I said a problem normally is considered a problem because it affects us in some way, shape or form; but if we choose to change our perception ...
