PREM! >From : Narendra Nath ST101.TXT *********************RELATIONSHIPS********************* ~~~LIFELESSONS/UNHEALED STATES/INNER CHILD STATES: SELF-HOSTILITY/HOSTILITY~~~ To look at self-hostility/hostility requires us to look at the entire history of Creation, as we can know it from this moment in our personal development. We are all that is and has ever been from the first Word of God to the present moment. We are the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual product of what was and what is affecting us in the NOW. It is only with this multi-dimensional overview that we can begin to understand the journeys of our Souls, which are our personal Akashic Records through all of form, time, space and distance. In the beginning there was the thought and there was the Word. It is a collective Thought and Word - a collective and cooperative co-creation with God for we are volunteers to this experiment in the experience of transforming fear into love. Our illusionary encounters with each other have taken all manner of form and interaction and from them we have developed a belief system about the nature of this incarnated reality. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST: Our first chakra mandates for physical survival have directed us through a labyrinth of co-creation from fleeting particles of light that burst forth and burned off to simple one-celled structures living within a nearly unendurable environment through every possible complexity of form. The lessons of resilience and fortitude we accumulated from increasingly complex and dominant form to form were brought with us at a cellular level and at the level of the Soul. Within the perception that there was a total abundance, there also existed the perception of might and domination of larger creatures over smaller within a like environment. The checks and balances of an interrelated biology created within us the wariness for our safety, a distrust of the unknown, and a penchant for coming from hostility towards anything we deemed a threat. As well, we learned very early in this long-playing evolutionary drama that we were the hunter or the hunted. How this has played out in human history is a matter of record. We can look down the long, historical indoctrination to see that mindset of authority as a dominating power in our lives where hostility reigned. From those annals we can glean information about all we suffered and struggled with and through. Every nuance of history is written within us as we traveled through lifetimes within this collective co-creation, feeling ourselves pawns to an uncontrollable, brutal, destructive, hard and violent past. Every character played, every drama in which we became actors, every belief held at that time of our interplays are the stuff of our simultaneous lives affecting the NOW. It is why we continue to create power struggles leading to unrest, uneasiness, distrust, lack of safety, driving desires for material worth, social status and competitive institutions, lifestyles, activities. LIFE IS HARD The perception that life is hard within an ever-flowing abundance of Good that constantly surrounds us and attempts to enter our beings arose out of this primordial remembrance of survival and competition. We have co-created a spiritually unendurable hardship and hostility together. >From huge destructive weather systems to great conflagrations, to droughts, famine, pestilence, and epidemics and even to the total destruction of whole species, we are co-creators and co-survivors. We have lived through and been ruthless, immensely rich despots dispensing unconcernedly human lives in our own causes. We have lived in agonizing, desperate, cruel poverty. We have been the perpetrators and victims of genocide: the inquisitions, pogroms, Holy Wars, World Wars, concentration camps and mass graves that have pock-marked this entire planet and this entire collective consciousness with their insanity and outrage even into the present where we practice triage with the world's populations. In our incarnated simultaneous lives, we have been every kind of criminal: murderers, coveters, thieves, dealers in flesh, usurers, gamblers, husband and/or wife and child beaters, animal brutalizers, defilers, earth destroyers, misappropriators, debtors, traitors, child molestors, adulterers, aborters, abortees and abortionists, abandoners and every other manner of hostile behavior towards other human beings, humanity and the planet and All Life. All of these aspects, manifestations of our deepest fear states we have lived in our simultaneous lives; we bring to this lifetime for transformation out of states of long-held guilt, shame and unworthiness into love and self-forgiveness. While we each hold these collective memories unhealed within us, the outer world in which we live continues to portray these dramas to us. They disturb our psyches, hurt our hearts, damn us to a purgatory of needy self-defensiveness and a central belief of hardness of life circumstances in the present. HAVES AND H AVE NOTS Incarnation exists upon a base of polarities/dichotomies/duplicities. We can point everywhere in this collective co-creation to all form, all fear states that originate and continue from this force of polarity. Our entire collective weighs itself upon scales of judgment and prejudice, splitting us into groups who have and who have not. We have accumulated beliefs about being peaceful and loving as making us vulnerable to an external, authoritarian hostility. We point to joyful self-expression with certain derision, choosing to accept and expect instead a reality of stressed mental and physical endurance and busyness with "doing." We point with a combination of pride and longing to those who dominate our institutions, media, lives by virtue of their ability to collect wealth while we hold derision for those whose lives tend to social, financial and educational mediocrity and impoverishment. We in the West have a will to "rise to the top" and hold as unworthy any other person or group not so driven. The Haves believe they have acquired an inalienable right to dominate, exploit, coerce, treat with injustice and disparagement, use and discard -- and hold themselves apart from the Have Nots. This abyss of difference is a perception and expectation of an invisible nobility, a quasi-monarchic hierarchy of precious specialness that sets them above and apart from the entirety of humanity. At its highest expression, there is Noblesse Oblige. Its more predominant expression is oppression, withholding of goods and services, subjugation, and a need to hold the subject populations in states of hate, fear, degradation and unchanging, remorseless stagnation in which dis-ease, overpopulation, overuse of resources, ghettos, tribal reservations on agriculturally marginal lands, depletion of earth resources and a terrible, deadly technology is perpetrated upon both the knowing and unknowing. The trickle-down theory has established the Haves in positions of total authority as the abyss of difference continues to grow, the numbers of homeless and mentally and physically handicapped increase and violence escalates exponentially. From the Have religions, politics, medicine, technology, to educational institutions, the majority of Have Nots are excluded. These disparate groups have an unquiet co-existence, the Haves protecting their possessions with might and force, the Have Nots reaching towards the promise of having or falling into an even deeper desperate destitution. THE DIVINE PARADIGM We are all Children of God. We are pure. We are innocent. We have agreed to focus our thoughts into a fear base and create ourselves as thought-forms experiencing fear. These incarnated states are not our reality. These circumstances and experiences have never occurred. Seeking across our paths of self-creation in fear by committing to love, we can look down these pathways from beginning to the present and know ourselves as we have been in incarnation, as we have been as Children of God playing with these fear thoughts. Self-remembering can be painful. Seeing ourselves playing out roles and dramas of such destruction can make us feel a deep desire to end all such creation, to punish ourselves. This collective memory and the recalling of it has caused each of us to come to this incarnation with the thought that we can expect to be treated with hostility and therefore the world around us has totally mirrored this perception/expectation to us. Our greatest desire, our total purpose is to be love and to live in states of peace and joy - to be Who We Are. Those parts of us that are not yet love await our attention, reach out to be taken into our hearts and integrated back into a Loving Wholeness, Perfection and Completion as Godness. We can choose to carry on the "old world" perceptions/expectations, creating ourselves out of those molds and images or we can opt for a renewed inner vision of ourselves as Love returning to Love. The Awakening calls out to our hearts to discern the two futures that will be created from these divergent mindsets. Changing the past within each of ourselves opens a collective Path of Love where HOME and God/Godness are ever present. It is to THIS choice for our future lives we must turn now, for any other choice leads to ever deeper pain and universal chaos. ******************************************************* FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Allow the feelings you are feeling about you as the criminal, you as the perpetrator, you as the destroyer come up for you now. Be willing to look at these feelings honestly, dispassionately and unconditionally. Apply the yardstick of self as Child of God creating with thought to these personas, dramas and sub-personalities that are very much a part of you. Move past denial and into acceptance - and work to heal these states that continue to exist as you. FOR YOUR JOURNALS: Make a list of what you most remember about planetary and human history, including the theory of evolution and the evolution of human society. Write down any part of that history or any historical personages that stand out and have special meaning for you. Ask yourself why these periods of history would be outstanding in your mind and if any images or recollections arise, write these down as well. FOR YOUR MEDITATIONS: Ask your spiritual mother and father, higher spiritual guides and Master Teachers of the light to join with you. Request that you be taken upon a journey in which you can look at how hostility has been a reality in your own creation as incarnation. Go forth with courage, will, heart and might into your simultaneous lives, remembering that you are surrounded by love and you are safe to do this now. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``````````` Shanti!
