Where Are You? (Part 3)

It can be difficult at best to accumulate accurate information about the condition and location that you find yourself and find reliable information that actually is given by someone who has lived in the particular location following the particular customs of the space, land, location, etc., where you might have found yourself. The first thing about learning is learning how to learn and to understand that what you see and perceive is automatically translated by what you believe to be true and what you have learned to focus or attach to in your past. In other words, the individual mind the individualized awareness will relate in terms of the known and will be unable to relate in terms of the unknown. Therefore there is a translation that occurs subliminally and subconsciously that causes things to fall into a relationship with the known experiences, which may have nothing other than a very superficial or surface relationship to what is actually going on. The reliance on the known or previously experienced in a new situation can prove very detrimental to self understanding and the understanding of the situation in which you find yourself. For example, to use an exaggeration, suppose one of the customs in the place you have awakened, was for the people to greet each other by a resounding slap by the right hand across the left cheek of the other person. Males would use their right hand to the left cheek and females would use their left hand to the right cheek of females and assume that there was a whole social order developed around this type of greeting. Naturally the immediate response to someone who was not familiar with this custom, would be that someone was acting out in anger or discipline, or in some way contrary to peace and harmony. There could even possibly be attempts to stop the greeting ritual because it leads to violence and so forth. Thus interfering in a situation which you would have known nothing about. And lets assume farther that the penalty that the country or location has for interference with this ritual is immediate death. Therefore if you interfered, you would quite quickly find your self, without understanding what was happening, in very serious difficulty.

Life in the material dimension can be viewed from different points of view. Similar to this particular example, in relation to spiritual unfoldment and spiritual development. What you might think is carrying you forward, such as being eminently successful and using philosophies that gain and win regardless of the cost and actually find after a point of perception that this kind of behavior and life pattern actually retards your spiritual development while at the same time providing amply for you in the material dimension. It helps to understand that everything in the material dimension is a shadow of that which is presented by the spiritual and God radiations that sustain the created universe. For example, to free your self from previously known linear conceptions of the way things should be, begin to think about things that allow for a holistic view point so that you can embrace strange and unusual feelings not in your experience without either being swept away by them or molded or trapped by them. An example of such a freeing movement would be for you to attempt to imagine what a shadow looks like inside out. And as you begin to work with that kind of concept, you can begin hopefully to get a glimmer and finally a greater measure of understanding of what its like to be internalized within the internalized nature of God and at the same time appear external to that very formative and creative energetic movement. On your journey returning to the location in which you fell asleep and have forgotten it is necessary in the beginning to understand the concept that there was such a location and there was a point in experiential time, prior to your awakening in the foreign country. Also it helps to understand that any information that you have carried with you lies beneath the surface of your consciousness and has been forgotten by layers of the mind field that you are and is consciously remembered by other layers of the mind field beneath it. Therefore the first movement is to begin to take stock of your surroundings in a fashion so as to not take for granted or except anything that you see, feel, hear, touch, taste, smell, because of the conditioning and the inaccurate use that the five senses have brought forward positionally in transmuting or transmitting information to you. The subconsciousness translates the data and screens it selectively to conform with understandings of a deeper nature about what is expectable and not expectable within the belief structure. On the journey in the beginnings questioning everything without letting on that your questioning, is a helpful beginning. Letting on in this sense, means discussion with the natives in the area until you find someone who would be bonified and willing and able to give you accurate and sufficient information to help you on your way. Learning how to determine who such a person might be is one of the first needs of the beginning of the journey. There would be many clamors, and actual street corner vendors of maps and other ways, other means of guidance that would provide the illusion of giving you valuable information. The development of discernment and the development of the ability to separate that which is true from that which is not, in spiritual terms, is the major essential ingredient at the beginning movement of your journey. As you begin to investigate your surroundings, by observation and comparison, it helps to recognize that everything has a purpose and everything no matter how bazaar in appearance is understandable if viewed from the proper position. Develop and cultivate flexible positioning without attaching to judgmental standards at this level of expression, do not in the process eliminate of other wise erase your highest spiritual standards however. The questioning comes with the data, the perception, the life dynamics and the way of being of that which is going on around you in relation to new concepts and new dimensional understandings about the way the universe actually maybe be functioning and maybe functioning in such a fashion as to provide information on hidden or veiled levels that is accessible only after each succeeding veil has been understood and removed. This in our example is analogous to learning the language of the country in which your in. It can be said that you light your life thru your way of being and your life vocabulary is made up of your response patterns, your attitudes, your beliefs, your degree of selfless or selfishness, your degree of unconditionality, and so forth. Another step in moving forward is to access what resources you have brought with you in the sense of how do you align with the highest, the most divine, the most unselfish and the most compassionate understanding positions within yourself.

If you look out into your world with judgment, criticism, negativity, frozen beliefs and other ways of creating dissension, your world will look back at you in this same fashion. Because that is one of the hidden natures of the location in which you find yourselves and also one of the nature of the actual material dimension.

The need in this kind of circumstance is to determine what actually facilities your journey as a return to your HOME and what hampers or hinders it. If you engage in the street corner venders information one of the things that they will undoubtedly be publishing for you is that the end justifies the means and you should do what ever you need to do return home as quickly as possible, and if people are in the way of this, they should be removed by whatever fashion is necessary and if your way is blocked thru lack of funds or food or clothing, these may be taken because after all your are in a foreign country and they are intentionally hindering you. Be very wary of sacrificing or overlooking the deepest internal standards of right and wrong. These internal standards are the common thread of all this worlds religions and in some form, form a thread thru the essential belief patterns of most philosophies.

The recognition is to remember that there is a place from which you came, there are things that you might need to understand, particularly sense things in your location are in no wise like those that you have been used to and are subject to ready and easy misinterpretation. It is easy to overlook the layers and levels of experience and accept only surface presentation, so in your journey be careful to understand that there are many layers and levels to each micro second of your experience and it helps without becoming confused, to search for those which provide the greatest measure of support and help in your journey. Understanding and separating the information that you perceive as accurate and true or not is the main feature of this beginning nature this beginning part of your journey. We will continue with this theme in other articles and tapes and we wish you well in your understanding of this beginning concept.
