THE VIRTUAL UNREALITY OF LIFE - 911

Thinking too seriously can alter your life view;

if you choose to consciously create one. 

It can also assist you in understanding spiritual transformation, 

to see Possibility - that which clearly goes unseen in life.

(Commemorating the lives lost this day ten years ago, and the hope for those who remain....

What are we left to do with our lives and how are we to do it?)

Do you know what it feels like on the other side of Love?   Truly no one knows except through imagination, because there is no possibility beyond Love.  We've got to learn to think anew about the definition we've given to Love that causes us to limit our understanding of it.  Love is 360 degrees of infinite possibility that has benefits that are more than we are enabled to think in its entirety.  Love is communication of all possibility of giving and receiving.  It is the eternal universal language that is understood all over the world by everything, annimate and inannimate within the world.  It is the Divine Law.

So what is meant for our experience we call living life, where there is so much suffering and so much pain?  Are we learning anything at all from the past where the suffering as well as the hope is passed forward?  Does the egg in the mouth of the mythical Sankofa bird [at the left] birth nothing relevant for our futures and the futures of our children?

Why is there so much concentration of hate for the hated and so little love for the many friends who may think different thoughts than do we?  Are we helping ourselves to hate our enemies rather than resolving our differences?  Isn't that what we do with our friends?  Recently I've heard the outrageous notion of word inventions such as "frenemy!"  I'm told it means to make your enemy think he's your friend temporarily.  Just how treacherously can we imagine in our inhumanity? 

Today, as I listen to the outward and uplifted voices of the surviving relatives of the victims of 911, hearing and feeling the pain of the names being read at the Memorial today, I compassionately hear also the cries and desperation of so many other sufferers all around the world.....in the Christian, Islamic, Judaic, Buddhist or whatever world people believe they live in, though there is but this world - OneWorld to live within - I suddenly begin feeling their pain and their suffering, just like that of our people and our nation.  I remember how we as Americans, upon a common attack, suddenly put aside our differences that earlier seemed so important.  No Republican or Democrat, no Black or White or Brown or Yellow; we came together to survive an attack upon a symbol that took its toll upon innocents.  And around the world, this pattern of attack upon innocents leaves them as victims also, of some other side of some other ideology.  But it doesn't end there; this negative pattern vibrates all over the world because we are living in a connected world.  It is quite disheartening.

Political ideology makes a poor headstone for the death of innocence; it is also a sad refrain for a death song of so many....and still the bell awaits its chance to toll for thee...

.....Enemies you say!  What of our enemies?  On May 2, 2011, Osama Bin Laden was killed.   When news came, at first I felt excitement and jubilation for the nation. Then suddenly I felt hollow and empty and void. I noticed I was not relieved from the misery of the memory of September 11, 2001.  Two thousand, nine hundred and seventy-six innocent people were still dead.  Nothing had changed. How could one death make up for so many innocents losing their lives?  His death was largely symbolic; symbols can never live up to Truth.  I spoke to others and several said they experienced the same sort of emptiness, not for him but for the absence of any true satisfaction in his death?  Our Scripture teaches us about the emptiness of vengence.

What was your individual experience in your confines of that moment?   We are still left with the quiet desperation of living life with the causes of the effects of this entire madness. "How do we relieve the causes of life's tragedies upon itself," I remember thinking?

Have you ever given any thought to the innocents on either ideologic side of this madness who may have subsequently died since this tragic day ten years ago?  Can you cross the imaginery lines of national soverignty to experience the innocent's pain and suffering?  Does it feel differently to them than it does to us?  Can you imagine how they too are thinking in their loss?  Have you given any thought to imagining behind the eyes of the innocent children and families who are left without, to sort through the mess of thIs madness? 

Do you think this is the way we are meant to live with OneAnother?  Did Christ not say ".... Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you?  Is this too much to ask of us, and more than we can bear to give Love at this point in life?   What did Christ truly mean saying this impossible directive for us in this life?  I'd like to understand.

I have chosen to call this life we live, The Virtual Unreality of Life.  It is the Imagined Thought World.  We believe it is reality but it is truly unreality.  It is the place of thought where we are to learn and give meaning to our individual lives by learning and giving the power and value of Love in thought and in action.  Love is a verb and not a noun.  It is always in action because it is its state of being.  This world is the collective consciousness we all experience, adding unto it both consciously and unconsciously, one individual at a time.  We can change our conscious thinking in this world, in order to transform the conscious world of our circumstances we live in, one individual at a time.

Love is the heavenly apportioned tool of transformation that will deliver us from the misery of living in this place of economic inequity in the division of wealth, of inadequate shelter, of disproportionate provision for hunger and thirst, of strife and war upon the people, until death performs its only translating spiritual mission.  Sadly death to some may seem merciful, even before its appointed time. 

But let us recognize that we are given this Divine Implement of Love that can be seen metaphorically as a tool.  Love is really the means meant to be used to assist in an effort, and not an instrument or doctrine to be admired and worshiped, as if an object in a museum or shrine.  Having compassion for OneAnother is the experience of seeing rightly in spirit what needs to be done through all of the misery, and using the tool of Love in action to do for OneAnother and transform the misery of the world into what we imagine heaven to be.  I believe this is our combined purpose for being born in this world.

I've long contemplated this troubling thoughtform over and over in my mind and within my heart.  I've tried to imagine how GodLove allows this awful misery of life to continue?  What possibility could make living this life a necessity if there is no escape from its misery?  How long must this go on?

Now do not think this as a message of hopelessness.  It is not.  It is the message of the same Gospel of Good News without metaphor.  It is given under the Guidance Of HolySpirit Which Guides All.  It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, It still IS.  So please pay attention to the message and not the messenger.  The messenger is simply The LightWorker, as are you should you accept to become so.  Please read on...

Religion is regarded by the common people as true,
by the wise as false,
and by the rulers as useful.

- Seneca (4 BC - 65 AD).

It is one thing to remember, another to know. 

To remember is to safeguard something entrusted to the memory. 

But to know is to make each thing one's own,

not depend on the text

and always to look back to the teacher. 

"Zeno said this, Cleanthes said this." 

Let there be space between you and the book. 

-  Seneca (4 BC - 65 AD).                  

*You may note Seneca lived in Rome during the times Jesus lived around 4 BC to about 32 AD.

What Seneca is saying to us is that we must express what is in the book, outside the confines of the book in order to make an impression of its meaning toward each other.  It's ok to remember the teacher, but it is best to do what the teacher taught us to do.  The Teacher I am now speaking of is the Jesus Example, removing all the proselytizing religiousity from his demonstration.  The Teacher wants us to do what He taught us how to do - Love God and Love OneAnother.  Jesus reminded us about Love of God and Loving OneAnother, saying on these two Commandments hang everything that the prophets and The Law were speaking, and to what He is here to fulfill - to fulfill The Law and Promise and Provision of God's Love.  It is in that manner that we deliver honor unto The Teacher when we do that.

In this mysterious life, we are already provided the perfect and mysterious departure from this life that we can not escape.  Death is the single point where all life becomes truly equal, regardless of birthright.  Death is the equality in this life process, regardless of birthright.  Even Jesus departed this life, giving testament to his mission when he exclaimed - TETELESTAI.  These are the last words Jesus is said to have proclaimed as He died.  He spoke them in the Aramaic language.  It Is Finished.  He fulfilled His Mission.

Life is the inevitable entryway and death is the inevitable exitway; this process is DivinelyOrdered.  Everyone who has come here must pass this way to escape its misery.  The experiences we have here are left up to each one of us.   Whatever takes place here must be some type of virtual unreality of what life is to be like if left up to our unenlightened humanity as we live it out.  It is not real and doesn't last.  You could almost think of it as experiencing what George was enabled to see in the classic hit movie, 'It's a Wonderful Life."  He learned to appreciate what is real.  But unlike the movie, we will come into Reality but it will not be in this world.  This world is The Virtual Unreality of Life.

Throughtout our lives we are enlightened by glimpses of hope for tomorrow with everlasting promises.   Yet we are still here.  We know we are to be delivered from this underworld of misery through our death, but until then we each have something to do...a mission purpose to fulfill that no one else can deliver into the world.  What we are left to do here then, is to give meaning to our lives through our experiences, regardless to our circumstances of nationality, geographic location, economic ability or inability, or our individual birthright to a given family.  We are to Give Love from where we are in our circumstances.  This is how we will make a difference in this world.

We live with the fact that we each must die, but we seem to believe that it is not really connected with our life, as if life and death are separate experiences.  We somehow put death away from our consciousness without ever contemplating it and coming to terms with it.  "We die as we live by moment.  Each moment lived is a moment dying."  Learning how to die allows us the true freedom to learn how to live life abundantly by the moment.  What I am meaning here is learning how to experience life consciously and compassionately.    Imagine yourself demonstrating to another person that you feel their pain and suffering enough to care.  Imagine yourself feeling good because you are giving Love to others.  And imagine yourself receiving Love from others.

What does it feel like to live Life as you just imagined it?  Does it feel good and Righteous and in Right Relationship?  Does it feel like Love and Truth and Harmony and Inviting, free from religious proselytizing pointing to differences?  Have we become so simpleminded as not to recognize that God made us to look different, placed us in different surroundings, allowed us to intuit differently, allowed us different languages to communicate differently, and even allowed us the freedom to perceive of God differently.  Difference is the dynamic that allows us to see the transforming benefits of Love.

So who's right about living life?  Probably all of us to a certain degree; and none of us to another degree; and aggregately we are still woefully inadequate to contemplate Godliness, no matter the faith. The creation can never exceed the Creator because The Creator is always Giving.  This is why we must continually practice The Habit Of Giving Love; this is what we are to learn to value while we are still here in this underworld.  It can only be learned in Truth by expressing Love in Giving it. 

I believe for a Heaven to be The Presence of Perfection And Wholeness Through The Continuous Giving Of Love.  It is reached as a heartmindset first.  I also believe this is what is meant for us to do as we transform this underworld with our lives as we give each other Love right here on earth, "...so let it be done on earth as it is in heaven."

Prayer:
Today, I'm asking each of us around the world, regardless to faith division or religion, to close our individual eyes, still our individual lips, open our individual heart, free our individual mind of images, release any individual division or hatred, and to Hear The Unified Sound of Silent Knowledge, Feel The Powerful Magnificence of The Unified Vibration of Love, Be Comforted By The Unified Correcting Voice Of God, and Give Thanks For The Presence Of God As Our Unified Creator and Continuous Provider of all that is good in us. 
Let us know also that we will each be delievered from this Virtual Unreality, as have so many of our loved ones and friends before us; and yes, even as have our enemies who've gone before.  Our prayer of gratitude is to help deliver Your Will that we as human becoming, learn to live In peace and love to fulfill our mission for this world.  TETELESTAI.

In this humbled state of our Now Awareness, we each are prepared for our eternal heavenly life.  We are now also prepared for our death; and yet still are we empowered to live the remainder of our lives expressing OneAccordOfLove.  This is what is meant when it is said, "Learning how to die is learning how to live.  As long as you live, keep learning how to live."

This is our 411 Message of The Emergency Broadcasting Network For All 911 Calls!  It is humbly Given through our trust and Unified Collective Attempt Of A Glimpse Of GodVision for our lives through prayer.
