65 - Prejudices
The biggest problem which gets in the way of the reunification of the human
consciousness, the energy mind and the wider totality is that of prejudices.
“The invisible realms are not important, they are not REAL.”
And on the other hand we have the idea that only things which are hard are
important for survival.
To engage with thought, dreams or to figure out things by talking to yourself is
bad, and to work all day in the fields is good.
If one plays with invisible friends, it means that one is such a useless person
that we can’t find real, important hard friends.
Time and time again, invisible realities and all activities designed to find out
more about their nature are being denigrated, demonified, forbidden, made to
look crazy, stupid, immaterial, unimportant.
But as real reality consists of BOTH hard AND invisible components, this
approach can never produce the right results and people who live with such
prejudices can never get a handle on the real “real world” of many planes, can
never understand it or even try to control it correctly.
Slowly and with much embarrassment, the conscious minds have allowed a few
invisible things back into the Hard – in high-rise office buildings, where the
workers were constantly sick with depression and migraines, a few “motivational
posters” are being affixed to the blank, grey walls. The workers are once again
“allowed” to bring a few metaphors from home and put a teddy bear, a picture of
a loved one on their desks. Perhaps they are even allowed to wear their own
clothes and a few choice potted plants are positioned in strategic places.
And even with such pathetic little admissions to the reality of the energy
dimensions a rise in productivity and a fall in sick days can be measured – in
nice hard black, red and white on the balance sheets of the company.
But that kind of thing is not beginning to be enough. It isn’t even a real start
because they are only doing some things right at last AGAINST their own will and
judgement, and ONLY because they are forced into it because of the symptoms of
illness of the people who try and exist in such environments – not because
anything has really been learned or understood, or stemming from any kind of
real desire to make things right, to re-aligned the planes, to work with the
truth of the universe once more.
The true challenge for us all is to begin to undo a lifetime’s worth of brain
washing and to start giving the invisible realms and all their many
manifestations and messengers EXACTLY THE SAME ATTENTION as we would give a bank
statement or a wad of money without fail.
A nightmare is simply a red, red, red bank statement which is designed to alert
us to the fact that a system is on the brink of total collapse.
Our emotions are the bailiffs, banging on the door, who will take our TVs and
personal possessions away.
Psychosomatic illnesses are the loan sharks who will very practically break your
legs and your nose because we haven’t paid our dues on time.
We have to make the change and take notice of these messages, of these warning
signals.
The principle is simple, yet again – we should spend EXACTLY the same amount of
time thinking and acting on hard environmental stimuli as their invisible
counterparts.
So, for example, if someone lies awake at night and thinks for one hour about
their job, their holidays and the new kitchen, they should also think for one
hour about dreams, feelings, creativity and the universal order in all its
manifestations, or else they are not being fair and haven’t managed to balance
the planes in their life as yet.
It is a very nice and simple calculation – and it functions perfectly in
reverse, as well.
If someone ONLY dreams, thinks of God or invisible things, they are also out of
balance and should give exactly the same amount of time to things of the Hard –
such as bank statements and fitness programmes, for example.
For every hard friend we should have an invisible one to balance the situation;
and that is a simple method to ensure at the beginning that we give “to Caesar,
what is Caesar’s and to Jupiter, what is Jupiter’s” without annoying either of
them and having to face the painful repercussions of prejudice and neglect.
This is a beginning, to be sure.
The real challenge is of course, not to think about the Hard and the energetic
dimension one after another, sequentially, but to have them BOTH be PRESENT and
at the same time – simultaneously, in other words.
That is a star state of absolute lucidity, a Zen state from which we then can
observe true causality across the planes.
From here, the true enchanted world may be partaken of as well as observed and
thought about all at the same time, and from here, we get to play with cause and
effect for ourselves, to play with our own lives, in order to find out just who
we are and what we can become.
