The Formation of Attitudes and Programming, and Its Erasure part 16
Nietzsche suggests that with the smallest and largest happiness there
is always one thing through which happiness comes into being; that is
the ability to forget, or to look at things "unhistorically," i.e.,
without referring constantly to the past. This is the art and science
of living in the NOW , following moment-to-moment Guidance, and always
using Self-will to serve Higher Will.
". . . man cannot develop into man without first limiting the
unhistorical element in his thinking, reflecting, distinguishing, and
unifying habits. Only within that all-enveloping cloud of vapor does a
clear, shining light suddenly appear; only then through the strength
to use the past in order to live and to make history again out of that
which has happened."
We must be able to take our histories and learn from them, but in
doing so we must also be able to forgive and forget our past
transgressions and those of others to make the changes necessary that
prove we have learned our spiritual lessons along the streams of time
that have carried us this far.
The leadership of the religions and these secret organizations whose
agendas we have been following for countless lifetimes, think of
themselves as the Illuminati - the few "successful efforts," the
overmen, who rise to power and notoriety not because of any imminent
historical thrust forward by the species, but because as solitary and
venturesome geniuses they have nourished their own will to power. They
live within history but are not part of it. To quote Nietzsche, they
think of themselves "as gems in the offal," the proverbial pearls
before swine.
They are the ones primarily responsible for the ruminations that
surround Soul, whether it be directly through the ceaseless propaganda
instilled over many lifetimes, or indirectly through the peer pressure
and influence of others. Their sense of "truth" transcends what can
be discovered and digested from any knowledge of the historical
process per se. Their sense of "truth" transcends what can be
discovered and digested from any knowledge of the historical process
per se. Where divine purpose could no longer be fathomed, the human
mind then concocted the fiction of a "goal" for the race. What the
evolutionists vaunt as "progress" in the human race is actually a
lapsing "measure by measure further into decadence," as James
Churchward with his work on Lemuria would support.
No one can account for his appearance with regard to an indwelling
"purpose" in nature, they think, since nature has no purpose but to
be. Nietzsche says that nature is naught but the ongoing generation of
the Will to Power, and through the will the exemplary individual
constructs his own purposes and meaning for existence. I like to think
of this as 'laying your own tracks' rather than those already laid by
others. These are the types of people we grow to love and admire from
childhood tales of heros and heroines to the kinds of heroes movies we
watch today, those who 'buck the system' to save the planet, the
damsel in distress, and all the innocent bystanders in danger of
annihilation.
Leni Riefenstahl's landmark documentary of Hitler's rise to power and
manipulation of the people is aptly titled, Triumph of the Will, and
stereotypically sums up the self-willed impetus behind all the history
of mankind's seeking to rule over one over the other.
The Formation of Attitudes and Programming, and Its Erasure - Part 17
"If the world may be conceived as a specific magnitude of force and as
a specific number of certain centers of force, and every other image
remains indefinite and hence of no use, then in the dice game of its
existence, the world must complete a calculable number of
combinations. All possible combinations in an infinite span of time
would at some point have been achieved . . . Since between each
combination and its subsequent repetition, all yet unrealized
combinations at all times must have run off, and since each
combination determines the entire succession of combinations in the
same sequence, therefore a circuit of purely identical sequences would
have been proven. As a circuit of the world, having already reiterated
itself without end, thus goes on playing its game in infinitum."
This is the mind-world as expressed by the Kabalistic teachings, each
soul playing off countless numbers of experiences until one finally
begins repeating them over and over again. It's the way life often
seems in the Groundhog Day of self will, each day offering us the same
lessons over and over again until we, like the protagonist of that
movie, learn what life is truly all about, surrendering our self-will
to the Higher Will in order to serve others.
This Groundhog Day approach to living is the way our history has
indeed seemed, one war following on another in endless succession, one
catastrophe following on the heels of another, with all of us just
playing at being the pawns in the machinations of those in power. And
behind the scenes the New World Order goes on pulling even their
strings to the tune of the Great Plan instituted long, long ago in a
galaxy far, far away. As can be seen from a true accounting of the
history of this planet, there are really only one or two patterns
throughout history that keep repeating themselves over and over again
- that is, until we choose to stand up and say, "I'm not going to take
this any more!" and we stop playing the game as they would have us
play it and begin laying our own tracks to our own self-chosen
destination. This is the true triumph of the will! We can will our
destiny as eternally meaningful or we can submit to a seemingly
meaningless existence that has been thrust upon us by those we have
called the gods.
The Formation of Attitudes and Programming, and Its Erasure - Part
18
We are human beings - being and creating - coworkers with the
eternal, learning only to serve others rather than our own petty wants
and desires. We are often heartened in "the eternal desire to create
so that the will of life asserts itself on and on forever . . ." The
ecstasy of this realization is what Nietzsche labels "the gay science"--
the deeper most knowledge of gnosis of the "higher things" in which
"joy wants eternity." And it is the pursuit of these `higher' levels
of mind experience that drive so many onwards in their pursuit of the
`upper' levels of Creation, never realizing that there comes a point
in their forward progress when the mind can no longer go on by itself
for it is always out of balance without taking heart along with it for
the ride. There comes a point where heart AND mind must meld together
using the neutral force of Spirit in order to proceed into the highest
levels of heaven . . . and beyond.
Whereas, for some, the time scheme of ordinary experience seems broken
and meaningless in the confusion of betrayed hopes and promises, it is
amongst the buried downpour of personal imagination that the actual
meaning of life might possibly be found. The passion of the sensitive
spirit, so wounded by the trials and tribulations of war that it
becomes virtually disembodied and seeks refuge in another plane of
reality, was given voice to by Herman Hesse at the end of 1917.
It was in Hesse's contemplations that he pondered that deep behind the
mask of the average person's consciousness might be where a timeless
absolute lay concealed. Self-knowledge might be the portal leading to
an existence of an entirely different order. This is the Light side of
the ancient mysteries, the knowledge that in seeking to know thyself
one can rise above the drudgery of life and whatever situation they
find themselves in--not for personal gain, but for personal service to
and with Creation.
This suggestion of an "eternal life" within the Unconscious crops up
again in the writings of the French philosopher Henri Bergson
(1859-1941). Bergson, who was more provocative than influential in his
life, set the tone for the kind of speculation which asserted an
eternity existing simultaneously in the midst of the flow of life.
Bergson termed this eternity `la duree' ("the duration") which he set
in opposition to `le temps' ("time"), the measure of external or mere
consciously fleeting events. Pervading all phenomena, Bergson claimed,
is a mysterious vital force, the 'elan vital', which intertwines all
living creatures. Some call this vital force Fate, some call it Will,
anyone who knows will call it Spirit for it is the neutral force that
can be used in whatever way we so desire to achieve whatever goals we
desire in keeping with Higher Will and the desires of others.
In his writings and speeches, Hitler frequently affected a pseudo-
religious air in referring to an indomitable "Fate" which galvanized
his own crazed plans. The ambiguities of human history under his
regime became subject to the force of occult knowledge, to the magical
will of the Fuhrer, the highest of the high priests. The triumph of
this indomitable willpower is the darkside's way of holding sway over
the course of history while the puppeteers work behind the scenes and
pull the strings to make the New World Order's Great Plan eventually
come to fruition.
In a kind of a premonition of what was to come from Hitler, Carl Jung
made an insightful observation in the 1930s: "I believe," he wrote,
"that history is capable of anything. There exists no folly that men
have not tried out." Is it men or the behaviour of men so easily
swayed, programmed and propagandized into performing any function,
any deed any atrocity imaginable?
At the close of The Two Sources of Morality and Religion, Bergson
observes:
Mankind lies groaning, half crushed beneath the weight of its own
progress. Men do not sufficiently realize their future is in their own
hands. Theirs is the living task of determining first of all whether
they want to go on living or not. Theirs the responsibility, then, for
deciding if they want merely to live, or intend to make just the extra
effort required for fulfilling, even on their refractory planet, the
essential function of the universe, which is a machine for the making
of gods.
In the hands of the Nazis this machinery of god-making became a
juggernaut of incalculable wrath and unbound savagery, became the
devastation of the Luftwaffe and the V-2 rockets. The American nation
which finally helped quell the frenzy was outraged and aghast at the
violence it had overcome. Out of the rubble of history's most shocking
war arose for the moment a flurry of democratic and modern social
idealism which aimed to set humanity's record straight again. But the
gnostic seed had not completely withered. It had only found another
top layer of humus in which to sink its taproots.
"And consider now how delicate the machinery is growing. As life grows
more complex, the machinery grows more intricate, and therefore more
vulnerable. Our so-called sanctions become so infinitely numerous that
each itself is frail. In the Dark Ages there was one great power--the
terror of God, and His Church. Now we have a multiplicity of small
things, all delicate and fragile, and strong only by our tacit
agreement not to question them." (The Morning of the Magicians)
And it is during this long period of unquestioning that darkside has
built its kingdom and stolen what was left of Free Will itself. As
Kryon suggests, literally all of our responses to human suffering are
being utilized as a method to manipulate our feelings by somebody who
wants us to react to it for one reason or another. We are being
impulsed to feel afraid, sad, helpless, bruised, desperate, and raw,
and the more we respond to things we have no part of, the more we
ignore things that need to be taken care of right in front of our own
noses.
The Erasure of Attitudes and Programming- Part 19: The
Exercises
by Peter Farley www.4truthseekers.org
1. Cherry-picking God is what keeps people locked away in slavery and
in misery, searching through the fine print in their soul contracts to
find any way out of doing it. Read the following article and then ask
your own Guidance using the 'dear one' technique described in the
other link what were the terms of your soul contract and what
percentage of that contract you have so far fulfilled. This will give
you a beginning place to know how much you still have to do and how
fast you must get prepared to complete it if at all possible:
http://www.4truthseekers.org/articles/lesson__18_cherry_picking_god.php
http://www.4truthseekers.org/articles/lesson_1_channeling_your_own_mission.php
2. Many are now beginning to understand that the aches and pains they
feel are not 'physical' but rather the old war wounds either from the
past or present lifetimes. With many, their pains are related directly
to the control devices and implants located in their etheric bodies to
shut them down because of who they are and what they came here to do.
Seek out someone who can realistically remove such implants and with
energy work do some real healing of these old wounds. A fee of around
$100-150 is money well worth spent on their removal.

3. Intent: In physics, the basic ruling paradigm is the desire to
change the energy of a given source from one form into a more
convenient and useable form. To do this, Man created Man. The word Hu-
man means 'of god mind' or 'god-like'. We are the converters of
spiritual energy into physical, emotional and mental energies designed
to manifest Spirit here in 3D or on whatever plane where on. To do
this, we have to
a) ground ourselves in the here and now
b) declare ourselves a channel for that highest energy to flow through
us, and then
c) do what is asked of us how and when we are asked to do this
channeling of higher energies.
Do not try and guide the direction of what it is you are asked to do,
that is in Spirit's hands, and Spirit's timing is perfect. Non-
attachment to results is the secret of all of spirituality and the
secret to the greatest power in Creation? Love.
So much of the energies and belief systems of others are held in our
aura or energy field by, whom else, ourselves, because of attachment.
Karma is just an unlearned lesson which we hold as a wrong attitude.
By correcting the attitude we can then let go of the old karma, with
appropriate recompense to those we have wronged. Watch 'My Name is
Earl' on television if you need some ideas on how to get that done.
Other writers have explained the experiments done on prayer which
found that 'non-directed' prayer is the most powerful and therefore
the most effective. So much of the karma we attract to ourselves stems
from this attitude of attachment to results, to seeing others rewarded
or punished according to our agenda.
The exercise: Write a letter of intent to the Universe. In it express
your acceptance of who you are in totality. This means physically,
emotionally, mentally, spiritually, etc. Also express your acceptance
of your mission/purpose here on Earth if it is still available to you
or your willingness to accept whatever else Spirit or your Guidance
would have you do instead.
Express your willingness to do this now in this and in every other
lifetime you have from now on. This will set up a mold for things to
open you to this intent in all the lifetimes to come, to lock it into
your soul matrix if you will.
You may not be exactly clear on what your mission is, but acceptance
of the fact that you are here for some reason expresses your continued
intent to ground in the here and now and serve the Highest Will
possible.
Your commitment to doing your mission, this purpose, MUST be in the
physical here and now, manifesting it on the physical plane according
to the schedule you and your Guidance set out before you came to
serve. This does not mean you are just physical, it means however that
you do accept having a physical body while doing your spiritual work
associated with your mission/purpose (and all the pains and problems
associated with living in the physical while doing the mission you
came here to do).
After you complete your letter outlining your acceptance and
commitment, ask for Guidance's approval of it or correct if you need.
If you get a yes, lock this intent into your heart as a commitment to
be here now and to serve, then burn it in a little ritual, put it in
your hope chest (*smile) or send it off to the universe in whatever
way shape or form you can devise - doing it always with that perfect
intent we're talking about.
Then go out and serve.
4. The biggest reason for attachment to old ways, ideas and attitudes,
is the inability to forgive - both others and more particularly
ourselves.
Forgiveness/Reclaiming Your Power exercise:
The one thing that must be done above all to begin our own healing
with regard to our own low self-esteem is to love. To forgive both
those who we feel have wronged us, and most importantly of all
ourselves, is to regain our lost power. To reclaim this lost power
(that which we have so readily given away to both friends, family, and
enemies alike, I recommend the following exercise borrowed liberally
from the Native American Shamanic tradition of erasing personal
history (and thereby reclaiming the personal power given away).
Reclaiming your Power:
1. With plenty of time to complete the task no matter how long it
takes, find a quiet comfortable area where you will not be disturbed-a
place where you feel safe, a place where you feel some kind of
nurturance from your surroundings such as a room filled with your
favorite books, a quiet garden space, or somewhere out in nature.
2. Center yourself in whatever way is most comfortable for you - by
chanting, by smudging, or simply by sitting peacefully with your eyes
open or closed for a short period of time.
3. Open yourself to your own highest Good, your Higher Power, some non-
denominational sense of the Cosmos that you know loves you and that
you trust.
4. As you find yourself ready, go slowly over the decades of your life
- either chronologically or in reverse order. Think of and/or write
down a list of all those you have been involved with you in some way
and to whom you have given a part of yourself. This could be either in
a positive or negative way through some kind of attachment of love or
hate or fear or some other emotional state. This list should include
such people as your parents, your teachers, your school mates who you
envied or tried to copy, the neighborhood bully, the girlfriends or
boyfriends - real or imagined, the husbands or wives, your children,
your neighbors, the bosses and co-workers with whom you have shared
both good times and bad - everyone who you can say took or was given a
piece of you that you now need to reclaim in this attempt to regain
your personal power.
Kenneth Meadows, in his book The Medicine Way - A Shamanic Path to
Self Mastery, says to use the phrase, 'Things would have been so
different IF . . .' The things which follow that IF are the very
attachments you now need to release. In releasing attachments we let
go of what is draining us of our personal power. We reclaim the focus
and the attention from the past and are now able to recrystallize it
on our present circumstances and stand in our power and in our
strength.
5. Once we have made this list or identified those with whom our
personal power has been in storage, then comes the essential act of
reclaiming our power, thanking - and if necessary, forgiving them, and
ourselves. No matter what has happened between the two of you - things
either positive or seemingly negative - the lessons have been there
for you to learn, and these people have done their best, limited
though it may appear to you, to help you learn your lessons and make
you the best person you can be. Thank them for whatever part they have
played in your own spiritual growth, and forgive them for whatever
they did or did not do to you in any other way. To hold any strong
feeling for anyone in the past is to give away a piece of your energy
to that person, and the personal power you will need here in the very
near and very real future that awaits us all in combating the New
World Order. Do this for each and every person on your list, savoring
each moment as you recall it and then letting it go.
6. And when all is said and done, then look at your own behavior over
these same times and know that, although you may not always have been
at your best, that to live in shame or blame or with some degree of
guilt is the greatest source of giving away your personal power to a
source which is not real. The real Creator has only and is only Love.
Darkness cannot even come near to it because IT is so much Light. If
IT cannot see Darkness, then it certainly does not judge us for it
knows we are learning, and that there is a balance for everything we
do. In this spirit, love yourself as IT loves you, and then forgive
yourself.
7. Make a small ritual of burning or destroying your list, and feel
the weight being lifted from your shoulders as your strength and Will
and power return to you. Then be cognizant of every person and
situation that enters your day and may try to steal some of your power
away again. Bless them or the situation and give them love and be on
your way, safe in your newfound strength, prepared for the difficult
days ahead, knowing that though the Darkness may reign for a short
time longer on the planet as it solidifies its power base here - there
can only be one eventual winner - and of that there is no doubt. The
Light will always overcome the Darkness and drive it back into the
Void from whence it first came.
At the end of the exercise do not 'think' or 'feel' you have done it,
instead 'KNOW' you have done it and then will truly all be forgiven
and properly released.
5. Learning to live in the moment, living in the now, is perhaps the
greatest way of changing attitudes and shifting the weight we always
carry along with us when we drag the past along, or conversely live
instead in the future with all its worries and 'what ifs', never
touching ground here and now. . . Samone Myers (Director of CURE
(www.earthcure.org) and Circle the Pyramid Event Coordinator) wrote a
piece titled, Living the Moment - Deep lessons From 'Groundhog Day'.
The article certainly resonates, perhaps it will resonate with you,
also:
"Have you ever had a moment that you wish you could re-live? Most of
us have at one time or another. Thoughts of "I could have said so much
more" or "I wish I could have done this or that" cross our mind,
especially at key moments in our life. Mine was what more I could have
said or done before my father died. I understand that it is not to be
re-lived, but we can experience life in a more enlightened manner by
living the moment.
"What I mean by living the moment came to me in an odd way recently. I
was watching a re-run of the movie, "Groundhog Day" starring Bill
Murray. For those that have not seen it, it is about a newscaster
traveling to a small town that has a festival each year in honor of
the groundhog. What ends up happening is he wakes up every morning and
re-lives Groundhog Day. Now the first time I watched this movie years
ago, I thought it was funny, but did not really get much out of it.
However, watching it recently was a different story. Suddenly very
profound thoughts emerged and I took note of these as I watched.
"At first, the lead character Phil, played by Murray, is in denial and
seeks to find answers to how it is that the same day keeps replaying.
He is totally self-absorbed and is annoyed with most everyone for not
believing him or helping him. He goes out of his way to prove to
associates that he knows what is going to happen next, i.e., a car
passing, a plate dropped in a diner, what a person is going to say,
answers all the questions on Jeopardy, etc. only to find disbelief in
their eyes and more frustration for him.
"Then, he moves into a phase of anger. Again, only thinking of
himself, he becomes reckless in his behavior to others and to himself.
He even begins to try and kill himself, only to find he is right back
in the same hotel room being awakened at 6 a.m. to the song, "I got
you, Babe" by Sonny & Cher. He even goes to the extent of taking
advantage of his predicament without regard to others' feelings. He
finds out intimate details about women that he wishes to sleep with,
only to wake the next morning feeling emptier. Yet, he continues the
same tactic on his producer, played by Andie McDowell whom he really
loves.
"At first, she is taken by what "appears" to be things they have in
common and those little things women like to hear. Andie's character,
Rita is somewhat fooled to begin with only to realize an uneasiness
about the situation and a feeling that "something is not right here."
She even has moments of deja-vu, which Phil denies. Feeling worse
about himself, this propels Phil into doing everything he can to win
her heart. He learns French poetry, plays the piano and numerous other
things to get her to fall for him. This only makes her more adamant
that something is not right with the situation.
"Out of sheer frustration, Phil finally has an epiphany moment that
leads to self-discovery. The defining moment comes when he surrenders.
In his rejection, he withdraws, walking the streets of the little town
bumping into people and feeling blue when suddenly he realizes that he
has walked the same street hundreds of times and passed this homeless
man. Each time in the past, he ignored the man's out stretched hand.
But, not this time! He puts a wad of money in the man's hand and takes
him into the diner, buying him as much food as the frail, elderly man
wants. Pleased with himself, he is later shocked to discover that the
man died that evening. He is so jarred by this after helping the man
that he becomes obsessed with changing destiny. In one moving scene,
he tries to resuscitate the man in an alley. He holds the man, crying
out to God asking "why?"
"It is at this moment that he stands up, brushes himself off and "gets
it." Each morning thereafter he wakes feeling rejuvenated and excited
about what the day will bring. He discovers who needs help in the town
and goes out of his way to make each and every person feel better
about him or herself. Meanwhile, Rita takes notice and "feels' the
difference in the rawness and truthfulness of his actions. She spends
an extraordinary "day" witnessing the changes in him and the effect he
has on others. Afterwards, she falls for him when he carves a
beautiful ice sculpture of her face. That night they make love and
wake in each other's arms. It is then and only then that it becomes
the day after Groundhog's Day. Recognizing what has occurred, Phil is
ecstatic at what each moment will now bring.
"Reading between the lines, I was astounded at how profound the
messages in this movie really are. We learn that there are phases to
our spiritual growth and enlightenment that most of us have in common.
We struggle with these issues in this lifetime and over many
lifetimes. It teaches us that the more self absorbed we are without
regard to our environment and others only leads to stuck feelings and
loneliness, repeating moments until we "get it." We also learn that
once we surrender to the fact that all is in Divine Order a flow
emerges taking us in directions above and beyond anything we imagined.
Finally, as Phil demonstrated, unconditional love and compassion for
our self and others is the ultimate act that defines us and leads to
living the moment."
6. Lastly, you've all probably heard the song, "What if God were one
of us . . . ?" Write down in five words or less for each one, all the
things you can think of that a God in human form would do TO HELP
those he created and sent out to experience every aspect of life for
him, without making them cripples.
Here the thing to remember is that, as one wise person once wrote,
"The Master gives us the lessons we need, not necessarily the lessons
we want."
What is it that's going to help a person grow without weakening them
by actually doing it for them or making it too easy to do?
Unfortunately mankind seems to learn best from the hard lessons and
not from the easy ones.
