Desire 3

Buddha told us that desire is the cause of all suffering. Desiring any one thing or more will always lead to suffering. By desiring some things and not desiring other things we open ourselves to the idea that we can receive things that we don't desire making them bad in our mind and therefore something that should be avoided. The things we desire become good to us and we don't believe we are able to be happy without them.

When we desire anything, we can never be satisfied, we can never have enough. We desire money and when we get it, it is never enough, we always want more. Take one look at all the billionaires trying to become trillionaires, we can clearly see that even when having billions of dollars which is more than any human can spend in many lifetimes, still isn't enough. We want to be Loved, but no one can ever seem to do it right or just how we want it done. We desire to control external circumstances and yet we never can. 

We desire sex, always wanting more, never having enough. We desire God and therefore we fear satan. We desire peace and become afraid of war. We desire to be remembered which causes us to be terrified of being forgotten. We desire joy and loathe any other emotion. On and on and on our desires go, never being satisfied, always chasing, and always running away. We are all free to desire anything we choose, and God will let us do so as long as we choose to. 

In truth there is nothing to desire because we are all in heaven and we are all enlightened and we can't desire any one thing because we have everything. Thinking logically, we are all part of the same universe which is made up of everything within the universe. Being part of the universe in which we are in, we literally have everything within the universe, known and unknown. We not only have everything, but we are everything itself. 

When we desire any one thing within the universe, we cause a split within ourselves. Our "true self" knows that it has everything and is one with everything, and the "ego" believes it is separate from the universe. The "ego" believes this since it thinks that there is any one thing that could be separated from the universe and given to the individual "ego" in order to make the individual "ego" special in some way. Since the "ego" believes that something else could be separated from the universe, the "ego" also believes that it can also be separated from the universe causing confusion and disease.

In order for the "ego" to survive it always needs to be desiring some thing. The "ego" doesn't even know what it desires, it just needs to desire. If the "ego" appears to achieve it's desire, it will only transfer the desire elsewhere. There is literally no one thing that can satisfy the desire of the "ego" since everything is part of the same universe, and yet the "ego" never stops desiring. As long as we chase our desires and run from that which we don't desire we keep the "ego" "alive" within our minds and will feel split. It is an impossibility to have some thing that someone else doesn't have and by believing that we can we suffer. We live in misery since we suffer. We suffer because we desire.

"Ego" death is simply letting go of all desires. Desires come from the "ego". Some psychedelics can help us to achieve (meaning letting go of desires) "ego" death, when that experience comes, all desires vanish, and reality can be seen and is seen as one thing instead of separate things. Everything is God, everything is one universe, desire is the belief that any one thing can be separate and if any one thing can be separate, all things are separate. We then think that we can be separate from the very universe we are in we have a constant inner dread since we don't think we will ever be able to get back into our own universe that we never left. Love and peace!

The Omnist Moral Guide

1.	No Rules, laws, or commandments. Focus on Self and don’t concern Self with what “others” are doing unless what “others” is doing is hurting Self in which case it is ok to walk away.

2.	Love God, Self, and everything considered “other” equally. There is no hierarchy within creation, everything is part of the same creation, all is equal, all is one, and all is Self.

3.	See everything as a friend. When there are “special” relationships it allows for “enemies”. When everything is a friend, there can be no enemies.

4.	Treat everything with Loving kindness, forgiveness, understanding, compassion, dignity, honor, empathy, and patience. Buildup, instead of tear down. Treat “others” how I want to be treated. There is only self, be kind to self.

5.	You are not alone, act like it.

6.	Consent should be confirmed by every person involved in every scenario and consent can be taken away at any time for any reason or no reason whatsoever. Until consent is removed by any person involved, nothing is off limits, have fun, go wild! We were created for God’s pleasure, God desires that we have pleasure also.

7.	Intimacy is meant to be a gift where body, mind, and soul come together in harmonious bliss when two become one, balanced and equal. Acting outside of these parameters isn’t immoral or a sin, it just lessens the experience.

8.	There are no “right” or “wrong” religions, paths, or beliefs and all paths end up in the same place they just take different ways to get there. All is one.

9.	Admit when wrong, own mistakes, and forgive self and “others” at all times. No one is perfect until they are. 

10.	Everyone is worthy and deserving of Love without exception. We are all capable of Self-Love and Self-Love is our only purpose in this world. There is no “other” that can Love, for all is Self. (Refer back to #2)

*God = Whoever your God is to you. If no belief in God, just replace the word God with the word Universe.

Faith

Growing up in this world and within religion I was to taught that I was to have faith, yet I was not taught how to acquire said faith. If I were to question how to have faith, I was told that I just needed to have it. The question that was always with me was "how the hell do I have faith when I don't have it?" How can I find faith when I don't even know what that means. I faked it, I pretended to have faith. I pretended because I was expected to have faith and had no clue as to how to do that.

Throughout my journey in this earth-suit I did not have faith, I did not know how to get faith, and I didn't believe faith was even real. Faith was not taught to me growing up in a neglectful environment. I did not have faith in my parents since they were emotionally absent. I did not have faith in all the adults around me who didn't keep me safe from the environment I was in. I did not have faith in this world, that always seemed to let me down and abandon me whenever I was in a time of need.

I have come to realize on my journey in this world that faith is not something we just have, it is taught to us just the same as everything else within this world. When we grow up in a home with Loving parents who are emotionally available and who come through for us when we need them the most. We learn to have faith in our parents. If we grow up in a home without emotional support or without any support for that matter, we are not a lost cause, we are not hopeless. We can be taught faith, we can learn faith and we can live in faith.

This post is for all of us who are expected to have faith and yet have no idea how to have something we appear to be lacking. I pretended to have faith in Christ since that is what was expected of me by those around me. One day I let go of my pretend faith and gave up all hope. Even though I felt as if I were alone and destined to live out a life of misery, I was being taught faith way before I was even aware of it.

God, the creator and source of all that is and that ever will be, taught me faith when I appeared to have none. God brought people into my life who helped to teach me faith. Christ has been with me every step of the way teaching me time after time that I was never alone, and I could always count on God to provide.

We can see God teaching faith to several characters within the Bible story. When we don't have people around us who will teach us faith, God steps in and takes over. God is the parent to the parentless. God will always provide everything we need at any given moment. Sometimes it may not appear to be what we think we need or want in the moment, but God knows our future and God knows our purest and truest hearts desires even when they are hidden from us.

Anything and I mean literally anything that we think we are lacking, God will provide. How do I know this, how can I be so sure? I have faith and I have faith through the grace of God. God wanted me to have faith and God taught faith to me. God has come through for me time and time again despite any circumstances that appeared. If God wants you to have faith, you will be taught faith and chances are, you more than likely won't even be aware of the fact that you are learning faith until one day you wake up and realize that you do in fact have faith. When you look back and try to discover how this faith appeared in your life, you realize that it was God who provided it to you, just as everything else.

Having faith is wonderful and creates a sense of security and peace. Faith is the unwavering knowledge that you can always count on someone to be there for you no matter what. If you don't feel like you have any faith in anything since you haven't had anyone or anything in your life teach you what faith is, that is not your fault, and it is nothing to be embarrassed about or ashamed about. If you want faith and you don't have it, simply ask for it and you shall receive it. It could happen instantly, but it may also appear to take some time for it to happen, but we can be rest assured with the wisdom that it will be ours.

In truth we lack nothing, in truth we are perfect and whole. Look at any seed and then look at the final result of said seed. Look at all the steps that seed had to take along the way to become the final result. We are seeds, and we already have our full potential and final result with our seed. Since we live in time and are constantly going through growth and change, we seem to acquire all that we need in order to be who we are meant to be. We appear to acquire faith, wisdom, joy, peace, and Love when in reality those are already within our seed waiting to be unlocked.

As with everything, we already have faith because God is what/who God is and we are who God created us to be. If we appear to lack faith now, it is simply due to the fact that it is part of our future expansion, and we will get there when the time is right for us. We can't help but to learn faith from the creator of steadfastness, it is already destined to happen. Love and Peace!

Creation Creates

We humans lack the ability to create something unimaginable to us. Everything we humans create is based on preexisting elements and we are just rearranging them in different ways to "create" something new, when the new "creation" is simply a remix or a compilation or a mixture or a collage. This applies to every aspect within our lives. Music, writing, speech, inventions, mythological creatures, and even life itself.

Music is simply a combination of notes arranged in different orders at different speeds. Writing and speech is a combination of preexisting words rearranged in order to convey a new idea or "creation". An invention such as the light bulbs was "created" by harnessing electricity and using other items that already existed. Mythological creatures are "created" by combining different aspects and characteristics of existing creatures. The Angels known as Cherubim are described as having four faces – that of a man, an ox, a lion, and an eagle, and four wings covered with eyes (Ezekiel 10:14).

Animals within our world are a combination of other animals, the platypus is a prime example of this notion. Us humans are all said to be a lineage of Adam or first man and are just different genetic variances. Carbon is a primary component of all known life on Earth, and represents approximately 45–50% of all dry biomass. Everything in the universe is cyclical meaning everything is recycled into a new "creation".

We humans lack the ability to perceive God due to the fact that God is far beyond anything recognizable to us. We cannot conceive of something beyond our own comprehension without the grace of God. In our attempt at knowing our God we conceptualize God as a human, think old man in the sky. We think of God as a concept such as Love or father. We think of God as nothing or as everything. We think of God of being in us or outside of us. Anything that we imagine to be God, is only a fraction of God or a combination of existing aspects of God but not all of God. God is uncomprehensible to us since God is the origin of all that was, all that is, and all that ever will be, including beings we aren't even aware of. Love and Peace!

Miracles Vs. Magic

Miracles and magic can appear to be the same on the surface but ultimately are two ends of the spectrum. Not in a "right" vs. "wrong" or "good" vs. "bad" kind of way. Miracles are the disappearance of an illusion, while magic is the attempt to give the illusion, whatever it may be, power. No illusion has any power since it is only an illusion and therefor it is impossible to give more power to an illusion using magic even though we try. Sometimes magic can appear to make an illusion more powerful, but magic in its simplest perceived form transforms the illusion into another form of illusion that appears to be more powerful or different, but it is still just an illusion. A miracle illuminates an illusion thereby causing us to see the illusion for what it is, which is nothing but an illusion.

We say that death is real, we say that we shall all die. Jesus Christ came into the world and showed us death isn't real. He did this with what we refer to as miracles, when in reality he was just showing us the truth and that death is an illusion. Some people wanted to hold onto their illusion of death so desperately that they tried to kill Jesus by attempting to crucify him. In which Jesus just casually showed back up afterwards and casually said I told you death wasn't real. Even to this day, two thousand years later we are still split on this. If we believe death to be an illusion, we believe that Jesus came and appeared to die but never actually died. If we believe death to be real, we say that the stories about Jesus are made up or exaggerated or we say that maybe he never existed at all. Our personal beliefs and illusions don't change reality, no matter how hard we try to make them. 

Jesus healed the sick. This is a miracle to us since we believe that we can be sick which is an illusion. Jesus healing the sick is simply us being shown that sickness is illusion. If we decide to cling to the illusion that sickness is real, we will become "sick" in order to prove to ourselves that the illusion of sickness is real ultimately refusing to see the illusion for what it is which is nothing. Just as we attempt to kill ourselves in order to prove the illusion of death to be real, we spend our lives trying to die, instead of just living. We can go through the list of all the miracles performed by Jesus or any other person, but they are all the illumination of an illusion.

Magic on the other hand is used as an attempt to maintain an illusion or an attempt to make an illusion more powerful. When we "use" magic, we are essentially doing nothing, no matter how much we would like to believe that we are. It is fairly common knowledge that magicians in this world use the "power" of illusion in order to get your mind to believe something to be true that is not. Magicians use techniques such as sleight of hand, misdirection, and optical illusions in order to trick our brains. Magicians appear to do things that we deem impossible using deceptive methods and trickery. Since illusions are not real, using them or attempting to amplify them does nothing. There is no such thing as real magic. Using an illusion (magic) in order to transform another illusion (any illusion) is simply not possible. All magic is the same whether it be a street magician or magick within an occult practice. We made magic as an attempt to recreate the miracle which seems to be outside our reach. 

Something as simple as a headache can appear to be made better by taking an aspirin tablet. This is magic since we believe that we are "healing" the headache by using a pill when in reality the pill just helps us to ignore the headache until we forget about it, but more often than not the headache comes back, and we are left relying on the "magic" pill once again. If it were truly magic, we should only ever need to take one pill and be done. The fact that we need to take more pills and oftentimes for extended periods of time in order for them to works shows of their lack of "power". The miracle shows us that we couldn't possibly have a headache and we don't need any "magic" pill to get rid of it. Headaches are very often caused by another factor, more often than not stress. If we reduce our stress levels, we are able to reduce the frequency of headaches if not get rid of them completely. We believe it would take a miracle to get rid of our chronic headaches and that is simply because we believe that we can have headaches in the first place. Magic always needs more magic. A miracle only happens but once, for that is all the miracle needs. Love and Peace!
