DOUBT

We have all set ourselves an interesting task, to live in form on a planet with one reality while creating another. As we live day-by-day we look around us and witness family members, friends and acquaintances going about lives as they always have – apparently without any awareness of the changes we see on the planet, nor do they seem to hear the urgent call we hear from within to live differently, to align with an evolution that is almost, it seems, a secret. We are comfortable with being a rebel to a point, but what does this mean when the masses see one reality and we see another? Does this mean “I” am crazy or misinformed? Does this mean that if I do what I feel inside I should do, I will regret it later because they were right and I was wrong? Doubt shadows every step of the way it seems – and who is this doubt, where does it come from and is its story the real story?

Perspective

We are inundated with our “sins” since birth. What one considers a “sin” varies with the religion or morale constructs where you grow up and live, in the society’s norms and your religion’s edicts. Whether you are Christian or Buddhist, Jewish or Muslim there are constructs in the social rules, political rules, and the teachings of the religion that tell of our wrong doing, either through judgment for our sins, karma or our purposeful turning away from God’s ways and perhaps God. Whether we consider ourselves religious or not, even whether or not our parents were “religious,” we are trained by and impacted by religious, and thus social mores, through the way our particular country functions and rules. All of this creates in us a perspective developed over a lifetime formally and informally through home, schools, in churches and mosques, which inform our human concept of self and the world. What is right and what is wrong. Principally what is wrong is ourselves. Consequently we feel we can never be pure, can never be good enough, can never “earn” the right to trust ourselves to know what is right and to act correctly. In the end we feel we are marred in many ways, and that knowing how to free ourselves of these “sins” or morale errors and omissions is therefore an overwhelming task that is most probably impossible for the little “i.” Our egos remind us, from this bulk of exposure, experience, learning and beliefs that this is the case and will always be the case. Our human observation, for the most part, is that few if any humans escape into a morale free zone where peace and knowing are the norm.

As we move along the road to come home to ourselves our perspectives change and we see the world and ourselves differently. We don’t think, “I want to experience this differently,” it simply occurs naturally as you lay aside ego concepts and remember truths held within your soul. You may not even realize your perspective has changed until you have an experience where before you would have reacted negatively and when in that situation, or afterward, you realize that your old reaction simply was not there – you are different and have laid aside that baggage of the old ways. In the path of discovery you hear from another, or from yourself, that you are a divine being, perfect and whole. There are no ego constructs within you, no life experiences to draw on except perhaps what you have heard or read, no groups or communities of people to see that embodies this state of being. So you doubt and hold with the old beliefs, habits and patterns of being less-than and “wrong” in so many ways.

The energetic beings who influence third domain beings and consequently create dual third domain worlds, what we call the Others, magnify and perpetuate doubt, less-than, negative actions and self esteem as it serves their purposes well. They want to keep the populations controlled through the effective use of morale confusion and rigidity, causing everyone to feel limited, less-than. In this every individual lays aside, in many ways, their powers of wisdom, knowledge and recognizing divine, immutable truth in all situations.

We view the world therefore through the old glasses of third domain constriction and forced conformity. We feel, up to a certain point in our life, that it makes us safe and acceptable to others – even though we may not be acceptable to ourselves. Our perception is outward focused, reactive, anticipatory and filled with projections about what ifs and what could be. We are a mirror image of what is in the dual world. We are not who and what we truly are and can be in form.

When your awareness is heightened and you see the wrongs done by man and society you feel inside that it does not have to be this way. You may have felt this all of your life. Through shifting perceptions as the result expansion of inner knowing, and laying aside beliefs and patterns that perpetuate the harm done that we witness we begin to understand that it is not only “not right” but it is also not in “right order.” In other words, there is a knowing inside that we cannot any longer participate individually in the ways of harm, and that there is a cosmic order that is beyond everything we have experienced that holds a different way. Finally, we understand from within what is in right order, not just what is not, and we walk that road. Always adhering to that inner voice, that inner knowing that leads us innately further into our fuller understanding of who we are and how the cosmos, beyond duality, works and is. What we have seen and experienced is a forced parody – it is not real in that it does not reflect truth, the divine truth, the cosmic truth, the truth in each human soul and in all life. Our perspective has evolved in alignment with our transition back to ourselves and the remembrance of what we know and how we are to be.

The Struggle

Our struggle finally, is to emerge from the human way of doing life, to step fully and without hesitation into our soul’s way of doing life. This is perhaps the biggest challenge and where doubt rules supreme. We can quietly spend time meditating, doing Practices and moving back into soul awareness without overtly changing our lives. We are therefore “safe.” We are not threatening our concepts of what was acceptable, and we are not threatening others concepts of what is acceptable. We can live mainstream or alternative life styles while still presenting as socially and morally acceptable to others. We have our secret knowing of self – but we do not share it or walk, no matter what, the path that is presented to us because we have found a “safe” compromise where we balance everything regardless of the growing doubts and confusion, the bifurcation within that occurs.

Today, during this planetary evolution there are messages we receive from individuals, or from within, that it is not advisable to remain in status quo. We also know there is another way but we are not clear about all of the steps. We have some insight about what is in right order, but little clarity about how to proceed, and perhaps even if we are to proceed it requires ways we have never known before -- that we can remember. We are confused because what we see around us is the status quo. We are in doubt about what we see and experience in the world and what we are feeling, hearing and knowing inside. As it were – the game begins.

Doubt

Doubt is an old friend. It is gristle for the worlds of third domain duality – dual worlds of what is truth and what is constructed for “more” and thus the creation of harm to life. We have known doubt all of our lives, everyone doubts, to be sure is seen as contradictory to being less-than, is looked down upon as arrogant and is undermined at every turn. Ask ten people their opinion and you will get 10 answers. The ego has a long litany of opinions, all filled with doubt, all based on fear. Certainty is rare, doubt is acceptable behavior and recognized as normal, even preferred.

We develop routines to walk through our doubt. Long lists of pros and cons, talking to friends/family, rational thinking, deductive reasoning, the scientific method all are off-shoots of multiple opinions and doubt. We have doubts about how to raise the children, how to dress for dinner out, how to talk to a friend and how to do our job. We have doubts about how to decorate our dwellings and how to proceed toward a goal. We are “normally” doubtful and deal with it in ritualized ways to offset it in order to move forward. At times we simply dwell in the doubt and so there is no movement. In the search for truth and ourselves we cherry pick truth from one teacher to another, from one book to another, finding things we believe here and there but no clear road forward appears on the view screen. Again doubt sits in even about this – how do I come home to myself; what does it feel like; why should I do it; where is the formula for this, the routine, the “right way?”

Doubt then accompanies us on the journey home and is so familiar we sometimes forget to lay it aside. The doubt has been our benchmark, telling us to be wary, stop and consider. But this doubt is not our friend. This doubt is the result of living in a world of harm. It does not exist beyond duality. Your soul does not doubt, it knows instantly and with absolute clarity because it has the capacity to pull on all the information required instantly. The soul is trained, expands and knows right action in each step absolutely. The information it receives, you receive, in divine order and according to divine law is pure and true without distortion or misinterpretation. There is no question, and no 10 answers to one question. In truth there is only the truth and that is singular so there are no lists, no processes needed to get the best answer. There is collaboration, there are resources, and there are individual beings who are experts in certain fields all which coalesce in right order for each individual being to move forward, and for collaborative action. However, there is no doubt. Doubt steps in because humans are used to doubting, and because this is a new way and this new way is not demonstrated to you when you look around this world. You are used to looking outside of yourself to determine what you should do. When the world is upside down does looking outside of you serve?

In the Moment

There are so many messages in our world that invoke us to live in the moment. Humans live in the past and future, never in the moment so this construct, this way of being is largely foreign. There may be moments in your life when you do, or have been in the moment but maintaining this eludes because as a trained human in a dual world you were indoctrinated into looking back, using history as your guide, and then projecting forward to what ifs to determine what to do. Doing small routine tasks during the day, this pattern is so ingrained that much of life is done on automatic – you don’t even think while driving, cooking dinner, dressing in the morning. You move like a recording of yourself, mirroring back what you have learned – not what you have created for your life.

Creation happens in the moment – literally. All of the pong energy (the base energy of the cosmos) related to your life, and what you are creating, coalesce to create your next moment. So when you are mindlessly on automatic you are using this energy, as is your right as a creator being, to create your next moment. Because you are on automatic you mirror the history to the future – thoughtlessly. Humans make deliberate decisions but once again these are done using history, projecting to the future. It is no wonder we have not changed this world as a species – not learned from history.

You must therefore be in the moment because that is where you create. You must be in the moment to access inner knowing to know, decide and act. You must be in the moment to take in all around you, and in you to determine your next moment. You must be in the moment to be free of all doubt as you are connected to yourself and all there is – where there is no doubt. You must be in the moment because this world is rapidly evolving, life is changing, the planet is changing, and old ways no longer serve. In the moment you can know right action for you and for all life and act accordingly.

In the moment all is connected and pure, beautiful, peaceful and loving. It is only when you stray from the focus moment-to-moment that you draw yourself back into the habits and patterns of looking back, projecting forward and doubting. In that pristine creation of the moment all the universe stands to support you in right action. Anything is possible.

The mind of humans in a dual third domain world is a computer, storing everything you have experienced without emotion, without discrimination. Your emotions step into to judge, discern, find moments of love and joy but the combination of the mind and the emotions in humanness is transitory because it is a fabrication – it is not the “truth” of beingness. When you lay aside the beliefs and fears of the dual world, when you understand truth step-by-step from within your consciousness expands. This consciousness is not of the human mind, the brain and/or even the mind + emotions that humans use. This consciousness is of the soul and the Oneness of all that is. It is this consciousness, untainted by fear or doubt that you are of in the moment.

Added to the purity, clarity and assuredness of being in the moment is the magic of synchronicity. When you are in the flow with the cosmos, in divine right action, all that is supports your forward motion, your decisions, intentions and actions. Little moments of what we call magic happen. These are in actuality part of living in the current of cosmic energy in right action. Suddenly, without any effort on your part the right person steps forward to assist you. Suddenly, without any effort on your part a door opens for you to walk through – a door that you may not have known was there but when it opens, viewing it in the moment, you recognize it and walk through. When you move like this free of doubt you move with the blessings and assistance of all there is. Your soul, your Council and all of the energetics of this transition flow to support your right action in all ways. This is the magic carpet of old.

Conclusion

At first you need to see, to recognize that you have doubt, and when it springs up simply lay it aside, stay in the moment and use your inner knowing to move to the next moment. With time the experience of being in the moment will become your norm because it is innately how you truly are, you simply have forgotten this way temporarily. When in the moment all is beautiful and alight with potential, there is no doubt. If the doubt arises later, once again lay it aside as an old habit and return to the moment. They say, stop and smell the roses. In those moments when the sea air has brushed your cheek, the sun has warmed your back, the child’s laughter brought joy you were in the moment because that was all that existed for you. That was the soul experiencing life in form. Be with this and know that this is your way, embrace it, pay attention in each moment, focus in the moment, embrace the moment and the perfection of all it is.

CAUSE AND EFFECT

You Are A Creator Being

When Buddha worked toward what is referred to as Enlightenment or Self Realization, completed his journey and taught what he knew from a soul level to those around him, he did not focus on building a great church or temple. He did not gather thousands around him, nor did he write down for the generations to come his experience or the truths he had discovered within his soul. There were a few, and only a few, who later told his story and passed along what he purportedly said while in form. From this grew a great religion that has expanded to include individuals on all continents. This developed from small gatherings in rural areas in the sixth century AD.

Creationism is a strange and magical thing and through the laws of cause and effect, the core physics of the cosmos, and in the hands of a being who wielded those energies with purpose and clarity, we can see now the beginning of the story – and its current effect. He came to seed truths and while some of those truths have been misinterpreted, some lost and all incorporated into the society’s norms where they were birthed, never-the-less his seeding sprouted life anew until today as was in right order.

As an evolutionary being you have the right and power to create. Every thought, word and act you take has a cause and an effect. As humans in a dual world we are taught we are powerless and must struggle and suffer to live. This is the tone and enslavement of dualism. It is not truth as each day you perform the miracle of creation. Each day you put into use your adeptness with cause and effect. Living in habits and patterns, humans echo what they have learned – not what they know. The food eaten, the pace of the day, the aspirations and dreams come from the generation and generations before on this Earth that have held the limited view of themselves as taught and replicated through time. Nevertheless, all you have done is done through using your innate gifts. Gifts which are primarily used unconsciously; certainly, in most cases, without understanding them or even knowing they exist.

When you throw a ball against a wall it comes back at you according to the force and angle thrown. Physics has rules for this and can explain through velocity and speed exactly how the ball will act based on its qualities, how it is thrown, and what it is thrown against. This is energy in motion. The ball is energy, the wall is energy and the person is energy – all in “bodies” vibrating at a speed slow enough to be seen and felt in the third domain. You use your energy in all things, each moment of existence, whether you are in form or not. Your soul knows how to wield this energy just like the great basketball player knows how to wield the ball effectively and according to his/her purpose. You have simply accepted the false belief that you are human – end of story. Waking up, coming home, moving into Self Realization requires you to own that you are an energetic being having a short experience in a form you created for that purpose. You are not that form. You are not human. When you Know you are energy you begin to remember how to use energy, how to consciously be aware of each thought, word and action knowing that it all is cause and the resultant effect will come as you chose only if you hold that intent or purpose. Even if you know consciously, in your brain, about the theory of cause and effect, as humans we are told, and it appears to be proven to us repeatedly, that we are limited, powerless and destined to scrapple all of our lives for a suitable living situation. This applies to all regardless of their position or status in society. It is not truth.

The example of the thrown ball can be used to understand how we, as humans, use the cosmic laws of cause and effect. If someone were to remove the wall, the ball would not bounce back. If an object were to hit the ball, it would throw it off course and the intent of return would not occur. Imagine, if you will, a stream of energy in front of you. The stream was created by a thought you had. If you hold that thought/intent the energy will move forcefully forward, coalesce with other energies in the cosmos and create. If you interrupt that stream of energy with a conflicting thought, action or belief the stream dissipates as if it were never created. Human thoughts are erratic, conflicting and often uncertain. The soul knows without question or doubt. This is why it is important to have clarity from within to Know, then decide or place your intention and act. Consistent holding of truth creates consistent outcomes. In this, however, we must remember that what the human perceives as a desired outcome, and what the soul knows as outcome in right order may differ so you must watch for the signs. Timelines may also differ as humans live based on Earth time, your soul operates on cosmic time – one moment at a time, one action at a time in alignment with all there is. So when finding that truth and knowing within you sit with it until you have all of the pieces. Do not assume and do not project or anticipate through ego what is in right order for you or when. All can be retrieved through quiet contemplation and focus on the question at hand. When you have your clarity hold that as truth. There is no other option and no doubt. Put your thoughts, words and actions behind that truth and move forward. Because you are working within the laws of cause and effect you will be supported far beyond anything you would anticipate – this is where the mystical becomes obvious.

As the world swirls into the final stages of its own evolution, with the evolution of all life in, on and around her either evolving also or leaving, it is mandatory that humans shift their perception of Self. The old dual powers that wrote the scripts of separation and lack are falling by the wayside. You have the support now and the opportunity to strike out in new ways. Ways that are true and imaginably powerful using your knowledge and thus the conscious forces of cause and effect.

In Nature

We often think of cause and effect in nature. The wind and waters hurl against the mountain for thousands, perhaps millions of years causing it to be sculpted as if drawn by ethereal hands. The hurricane sweeps across the city cutting down trees, life and houses without differentiation. A great flood cuts through the high terrains, and sweeps across the low lands crafting new arroyos and ponds to route waters for hundreds of years to follow. The hawk rides the thermal winds far to the south for better hunting. We are not of this – we think – we are only human.
Buddha was and is a Godhead being – a partner of the Godhead. He, like all Godhead beings who created this particular universe, has been involved here since before the creation as they created The Plan for this universe and this planet, they created the DNA for each life form, they are at the helm for the evolution into the fifth domain. His visit here was not coincidental. He came for a purpose, at a specific time during the timeframe of that Plan. His effect as Buddha, that continues today, was crafted before he ever came into form. He knew his purpose and fulfilled it well.

As an evolutionary being you choose to be here during this time. You came with a purpose. You also know, as any expert knows, how to fulfill your purpose through the use of energy using the lasting forces of cause and effect.

Your mind doubts and questions
Your soul knows

Like Buddha, you must make this perceptual shift from I am only a human, only a fragile body, to I am an energetic being using my form as a tool in order to believe and use your adeptness with cause and effect. Your soul does not wonder and figure it out, it knows. With this knowing is also the assuredness of clear and immediate action. Since humans are so used to being confused and indecisive (usually out of fear), it is a major step to trust what is known and act decisively from that knowing. Do I really know this? Is this truth? It came so easily and clearly – I need to double check it, etc, etc. The doubt clouded human life shadows even the clarity of soul, of Self, at first.

The Process

It is said humans are waking up. What does this mean? Simply, it means you are seeing clearly the false truths that you have lived by, finding the cosmic truths within you and changing who you are and how you live using that divine truth within while laying aside the false truths of dualism. To make progress I suggest you:

Pay attention in each moment, for all occurs in the moment including creation and the use of cause and effect. You cannot live on automatic. Automatic limits, brings back ego patterns and echoes life lived as human in a dual world. Commit to paying attention and being present in each moment as in that all will be revealed.

Meditate regularly and feel the energy of you. Feel how your energetic field goes far beyond your physical form and has a presence beyond your personality. This is You, the Self, the soul, the only life force present and your true nature and state of being.

Watch your thoughts and actions and track the results. You are creating and you are using the power and cosmic laws of cause and effect now. Know that we create what we believe, not what we wish and hope for. See the movie of your life in reflection and contemplation understanding how it out-pictures your belief structure based on what you focus on – negatively or positively. If you “want” a certain outcome, check within. Is this in alignment for you? If this is right action and you are creating it through your intention, knowing and actions then be the constant observer of your actual, not hoped for or assumed thoughts, words, and actions. Do you believe, for instance, that this can occur?

Observe the world around you with the compassionate understanding that you are. What does the dual world look like, act like, and operate like? See this reflected back to you by your friends, family, movies, governments, etc. Be the observer and learn how these patterns of separation and limitation are set into the human condition and know that this is purposeful.

Rise above the duality and hone your whole being to the fifth domain energy that is present on the planet. Be of the creation of the new world, not the dissolution of the old.

Be all you are in each moment by making choices – are you human/ego or are you a divine evolutionary being? Choose you, your soul, which is connected to your form in the area of your heart. Connect with this energy, know the truth of the matter and act always from that truth no matter what, regardless of how odd it may appear to others around you. You can be a way=shower. First you must be that for yourself.

Communicate and collaborate with your brothers and sisters in and out of form. This is your natural way of being as all actions in the cosmos are done in balance with others. It is through the fine honing of true collaborative action that we hit our stride and will bring forth the great beauty and abundance of a new world. From this will also come an ever-evolving role for you that will bring you joy and fulfillment through your community’s use of cause and effect.

Conclusion

You are the cause and your life is the effect, beyond that, you as a collaborator in the creation of this new world, effect all here and beyond. Your work with many in and out of form and over the coming years will be reflected in your life in form as the natural way of being, as it is in the cosmos -- to be in community, always acting in collaboration with many to accomplish each task. You are already collaborating with your Council and others to move toward Self Realization and fulfillment of your purpose here. If you pay attention, believe this, and choose each moment to be part of this life – not the dual human life – you will find that your creation and the mastery of energy and cause and effect will come more and more easily to you.
