Awareness of Our OS

Written by Mathew Naismith

This post is a follow up of my last post so if you didn’t like my last post it’s most probable you won’t like this post, however for those who weren’t sure of my last post this post might shed a little more light to what my last post was all about.  It all comes down to what program you are mentally using to decipher my posts with.

In my last post I focused on the programs we mentally use to decipher the world around us and how these programs like religion, sciences, consumerist materialism, for example, program our minds to think in certain ways. In this post I will also explain how the operating system we live under, usually defined by the culture we live under, can influence what programs we use to program our minds.

I’m a western thinking person living in Australia, can I take all my programs, which are my present beliefs and concepts, and freely use these in any other culture in the world?  The point is I can’t. Can a person, who in their culture can have more than one wife, come to Australia and marry numerous Australian women legally?  Could you imagine building a cathedral in Afghanistan???

The point is we are all conditioned to think according to the operating system (culture) we live under no matter what program (concept/beliefs) we use to decipher the world around us.

I wonder why so many spiritually aware people try to switch the mind off these days?

Yes it is complicated because we have many different OS around the world that tell us how we can think and what programs we are allowed to use under a certain OS (culture).  

Yes we can live under dual OS (cultures) but mostly we are influence by a particular OS we are actually living under.  In countries like Australia it’s a lot easier for other people from other cultures to live under their culture (OS) which gives them a dual OS to think under.  These people are very lucky because they are now able to program their minds using dual OS plus they now have a much bigger array of programs to choose to live by.

I better explain here that emotions are also programs, hate is a program that some people live by and so is love.  These programs program our minds to think in a certain way however all programs are influenced by the OS’s we live under.

The problem isn’t the variety of programs we are able to program our minds with but the OS itself, with so many people fixated to their own OS (culture) conflicts are sure to follow, human history shows this many times over.  

This brings us back to the spiritually aware people who switch off their minds. When this occurs we are actually only influenced by one OS with a choice to add programs to our OS or not. When we choose not to add software all there is is awareness remembering emotions are also software programs.  When we choose love that is all we will feel and be influence by and when some people choose hate that is all they will feel and be influenced by.   

Quite understandably to most people, this is going to seem lame mainly because of our fixations to certain concepts, beliefs and emotions however until you experience pure conscious awareness in it’s purest form  I don’t think much can be said by people who haven’t experienced this.  

Most people when experiencing this pure consciousness will feel extreme love and because of our chaotic existence will want to stay within this love however there is something far more exhilarating than feeling this love once you go on from this love. It’s a pure acceptance for all of what it is without question, could you imagine feeling so peacefully passive!!

The reason this feels so peacefully passive is again because of our chaotic existence, living in such a chaotic existence automatically gives us a program like love and feeling peacefully passive under a singular OS of pure conscious awareness. We must remember, at this stage to feel this we are still of the mind otherwise we wouldn’t feel anything because programs are only of the mind as opposed to the brain. The mind carries on after the physical brain is no more.

Utter thoughtlessness is the implosion of all programs like concepts, beliefs and emotions, you just don’t feel or even know you are in this state, you can’t because you just are under a singular OS which is pure conscious awareness.  There’s nothing to compare with so you really don’t even know of your existence. This is where this intelligent pure conscious awareness has, I feel, devised various programs and OS’s to become aware of itself. You could say we are all serving God, this intelligent pure consciousness which we are all apart of.     

The Key is Wisdom

Written by Mathew Naismith

Note: There is a little confusion in what I call programs.  I refer to programs as being of belief system, ideological views and concepts that we use to train/program our minds turning what I deem as universal awareness into knowledge, giving our mind a better understanding of this universal awareness/consciousness. Religion and scientific studies are but an example of these programs we use to make ourselves more aware.

I had an interesting reply to my last post titled A Positive Reaction; there is no need for programs in a oneness state because the mind is completely still. I couldn’t agree more, any true oneness state denotes complete thoughtlessness therefore there is no need for programs or reprogramming in this state. There is one problem however, if we were meant to be thoughtless why would we have a brain that needs programming, we would actually be brainless if that was the case but where not?

The brain is programed through us becoming aware and the more aware we are the more this awareness denotes our brain being programed. The brain is as dumb as a door nail without awareness which the brain turns into knowledge but once we turn this awareness into knowledge that is where I feel we go off course.    

To me all awareness comes from the same source either it be scientifically aware, spiritually aware, medically aware or whatever, all awareness comes from the same source which makes it universal.  What changes this awareness within our brains is the program we use to turn this awareness into knowledge.  

Once you become at one in certain states of consciousness you are aware of everything there is to be aware of, at this stage, believe it or not, this awareness isn’t knowledge, it’s our ideological programs that turn this awareness into knowledge. For example, religion is a program and so is any scientific studies, these are all ideological views programing our minds to decipher this universal awareness  to what we have been culturally brought up to believe.  For an example; my wife and I went on a cruise to some of the Coral Sea islands recently, on some of these islands cannibalism was practiced until these people where reprogrammed by religion, they of course no longer practice cannibalism.  

Science endeavours are no different, once we knew the world was flat now it’s not through furthering our awareness which increased our knowledge that the world was no longer known to be flat.

Our awareness and consequence knowledge has furthered our awareness and knowledge and the more aware we become the more knowledgeable our minds are becoming, this all takes programming our minds in certain ways.  There are two main problems in programming our minds however, one is there are numerous programs out there that program our minds differently to other programs. For example, the multitude of different and sometimes opposing religions shows this.   This denotes a fragmented consciousness which is what gives us the chaos we have today, different cultures and social status are also of this fragmentation.   

The second problem is the lack of wisdom.  You can obtain all the knowledge in the world and still have no idea in how to use this knowledge wisely, the way we live today is a prime example of this.

This brings us to why so many spiritually aware people defuse the effects of such programming through going straight to the source of all knowledge and awareness without seemingly using any program to do so.  This program, and yes it’s still a program, takes us directly to oneness states of consciousness. The reason this is still a program is we are aware and knowing that we are in this oneness state of this consciousness.  If our minds knew nothing of this oneness state we wouldn’t know we were experiencing this oneness state, we just wouldn’t be aware of it.

In this awareness state of oneness there I no programs because there is no knowledge to build such a program because again there is no need of such programs in this oneness state, awareness is all there is.  While in this oneness state wouldn’t we be aware of this oneness state without actually having to know it? Yes but to get to this state of oneness in the first place we still need a program to inform our minds about this oneness state, the mind still needs to become further aware through a program.   Once you are there you realise you no longer need a program however if you are still finding it difficult to reach this oneness state this still takes a program to do so.  Yes I know our egos want us to believe we never needed a program to reach this state but my egoless self says otherwise.  

We have a brain which needs programming no matter what we become aware of, that is unavoidable unless we become detached from our minds but even then to become detached it still takes a program to do this in the first place.  

The key is balance between our mind and mindlessness and what gives us this key is wisdom. Believe it or not wisdom doesn’t even exist outside of the mind but it is the key to mindlessness or thoughtlessness/stillness.  All that reside in this universal awareness is pure awareness; wisdom isn’t even present however wisdom is the key to this universal awareness for beings in a state of mindfulness.   Again our egos want us to believe that wisdom resides outside of the conscious mind but to me it doesn’t because all what wisdom is, is the key between the mind and this universal awareness and to use this wisdom correctly the mind needs to be programmed to do so.  

It all comes down to a program but to program our minds wisely. 

Spiritually Seeing Through Rose Coloured Glasses

Written by Mathew Naismith

This post is going on from my last post & shows, with a little bit of patience, what two people can achieve.  After numerous tense replies back & forth, we have both come to acknowledge each other in a different light from our first few exchanges, is it worth the stress and tension? I will answer this with another question, is life worth living for most of us when it also can be full of stress and tension?

The discussion I had with this bloke was about new age spirituality and how new agers can seem delusional presuming to know more about what’s beyond our present mentality than scientists for example.  We can seem to others, not of our beliefs, delusional and fanciful; this of course is to be expected.  Could you imagine saying to people who believed the world was flat that it’s actually round, of course you’re going to seem fanciful and delusional to others not of your belief and awareness. 

What is fanciful? Something far fetched, unbelievable, at that time. It wasn’t too long ago science minded people thought meditation, chanting & praying was a load of croc (nonsense), however today science is discovering a multitude of benefits from these practices. Look at the benefits when they actually believed the world wasn’t flat, you could sail anywhere and not fall off the edge of the known world thus become more aware of our environment.   

Yes, saying we are far more than what we seem would seem fanciful to a non-believer for the main reason, if we were more than what we seem why do so many suffer? This came up in around about way in my discussion with this bloke, the answer is of course to me is; we don’t believe we are any more than we know ourselves to be at present.  If we are unaware of this we will stay within our suffering.  Could you imagine if we still believed the world to be flat, human awareness and evolution would have stalled within a certain consciousness, human history quite clearly shows how awareness does bring huge changes.

Once we realised the world wasn’t flat people in other parts of the world suffered big time because of this new found awareness, awareness can have it’s draw backs, if not to us directly most probably others.  What would be the draw back from knowing we are more than we seem?   If I was wearing rose coloured glasses there is no way I would see these draw backs however I think for most people it is advisable to wear rose coloured glasses, like they did before they found out the world wasn’t flat.

Going by today’s standards, would we have chosen to become further aware of the world being round if we knew what it was going to do to others around the world?  Most of us wouldn’t even consider it today, we would want to stay unaware remembering back then people’s standards and morals were somewhat different from today to a certain extent.  Knowing of the forthcoming atrocities would have turned us off knowing any more than we did but of course it wouldn’t have back then or would it!!

I’ve mentioned in a few earlier posts of mine what will occur when we become further aware, that to most people also seemed delusional and fanciful.  Yes misery and degradation will become less and less the more we become aware but we will obviously also lose something within this awareness, our ignorance. To the inner self this is a big deal, well to my inner self anyway, however in the long run it of course is worth it.  We are supposed to wear rose coloured glasses so we keep consciously becoming more and more aware, if we didn’t we would stagnate within a certain conscious awareness .  The dark ages are a good example of this; a lot of knowledgeable people were killed because the churchmen wanted to stay unaware beyond their present awareness levels.  If the churchmen back then wore rose coloured glasses I feel the dark ages wouldn’t have occurred, they only knew what further awareness outside of the churches domain would do on a negative basis.  If they wore rose coloured glasses they wouldn’t have thought this way and history would have been somewhat different I believe.  

It is funny to think, by wearing rose coloured glasses we are actually collectively becoming more aware and this is why so many non-believers can’t understand this kind of consciousness, it quite understandable.  

Getting back to my discussion with this other bloke about how fanciful and delusional new agers can be, it’s all a part of the course so go with the flow not against it!!

This post came about through being patient with someone who was a little upset and bewildered by so many people wearing rose coloured glasses, is life worth a few moments of stress and tension? It is to me.

Note: The meaning of rose coloured glasses is an optimistic perception of something; a positive opinion; seeing something in a positive way, often thinking of it as better than it actually is.

The Quickening of Consciousness

Written by Mathew Naismith

I utterly love these days when I hear other people becoming so utterly connected to the universal consciousness, some call the grid, that they can feel their own inner knowing. Realising anything and everything we will ever need to know is just there for us to become aware of.  Once we become this connected we realise it’s always been there at the tip of everybody’s finger tips.

Below is a brief exchange between another person & myself on this matter.

gaia-love

It is pretty amazing when you take a step back and 'see' what the picture really is saying to you in that moment.

I just had a feeling a few minutes ago and that was my thoughts are becoming faster than the technology around me. The internet is running slow, the information provided on it is becoming obsolete and outdated. And it feels like if we just connect to the grid and our higherselves, not only will we be provided the information naturally, but I think it will be more truthful then the opinions they are written in.

Mathew

I could not agree with you more & it's really great you are feeling this.

The noticeable difference in the quickening of human time is, I believe, our consciousness catching up to the universal consciousness. The strangest thing is, this conscious quickening feels slow but when compared to human consciousness it's a lot faster.

This is a very good indication that you are becoming quite connected to this universal consciousness(grid) gaia-love, I'm thrilled for you.

When I was in my mid-teens I could ask any question what so ever & get an immediate correct answer, I'm now fifty yrs old. I did by my late teens break off this connection for various reasons.

If we don't compare this quickening to human consciousness, why does it feel like we have slowed down? Thinking, the mind cannot handle such expanded knowing & awareness so everything seems to be racing along however once you become disconnected from the mind all this knowing is just there so you are so right when you said, "not only will we be provided the information naturally, but I think it will be more truthful then the opinions they are written in," you couldn't be more correct in my mind.

You will end up reading a book for instance & get visions & insights & not necessarily pertaining to what the book is about either however be careful in relaying this info onto others, they won't understand you & they will probably ostracise you because of their misunderstanding. If this happens try not to take it personally.

Much Blessings,

Mathew

It’s funny to think this quickening of time is actually a good sign that we are becoming more connected to this grid these days. The mind is racing around like a lunatic trying to decipher and put into form what we are receiving through the universal consciousness (grid) but all it needs to do to make sense of it all is just become a little more aware of where this knowing is truly coming from.  This of course is going to be hard for people stuck in certain ideological thought patterns that don’t allow for such awareness however eventually they will cross that mental barrier to a far more heightened awareness.  Human history has shown many times over you cannot fight off conscious changes indefinitely, it’s a naturel process.     

Divine Mentality

Written by Mathew Naismith

It would seem our mentality through history has changed very little, we are pretty much doing the same onto others as we did thousands of years ago, warring & slavery of one kind or another are good prime examples of this.  You would think by now we would have taken on, as a collective, some of what divine mentality is all about!!  

Yes sure we are not burning people at the stake, chopping off hands and feet in most countries or flogging people in public but this has little to do with how our mentality has evolved from these barbaric practices.  There are many people today, if they could, would be doing just what they did thousands of years ego which shows how our mentally has changed very little over time.  If we are still slaughtering each other for power and greed our mentality hasn’t changed that much at all over how many thousands of years however all's not lost!! 

There have been many prophets & enlightened people teaching us some of what divine mentality is so we can save ourselves. This hasn’t failed completely but we still have the minority who only have some kind of awareness of divine mentality.

 What is divine mentality?

The teachings of people like Jesus and Buddha are a prime example of divine mentality as of other prophets & alike. We have had the opportunity time and time again to expand past our antiquated mentality collectively but have chosen, on mass, to proceed with our archaic designs.  I believe divine mentality is any mentality and awareness beyond our present archaic mentality, the strange thing is human history shows time and time again how groups of people and individuals in the past became aware enough to overcome this archaic mentality.  We usually call these people wise.

Now we can say that it’s knowledge that gives these people wisdom but to me that’s not quite correct, you can know all of what is to know and still not know how to use this knowledge, this is where awareness comes into it.  Our heightened awareness tells us all of what we know or will ever know comes from the same source however if we are stuck in an archaic mentality we can’t be aware past the knowing of this archaic mentality  and we will presume all of what we know comes from human knowledge.

Awareness of more than we know gives us wisdom I feel, this goes along with a quote I wrote recently; “Knowledge is knowing what we are aware of, wisdom is being aware of what we don't know!! “

Divine mentality comes about by being aware of what we don’t know which of course is what is defined as wisdom.  I inserted this quote on the thinkers community and it was a big hit, no one argued it’s definition.  If we have no realisation of being aware of what we don’t know this denotes the archaic mentality I’m writing about here today however if you have some sense of correctness of this quote you are starting to delve into the divine mentality I feel.  

I believe everything come from an intelligent divine consciousness, all we need to do is remember who and what everything is and truly believe it.  In the mean time we should try not to idolise in others what we are. People like Jesus and Buddha never wanted to be idolised but listened too to take on some of their divine mentality so we may help ourselves.  

We are all divine beings but we will only become aware of this if we take on divine mentality!!

Awareness- Protectors and the Protectorates

Written by Mathew Naismith

A strange post to write even though it’s sort of a continuation from my last post. This post is more about our own awareness and how I feel we are not just letting ourselves down but also the protectorate itself down and all that abides on this protectorate we call Earth.

Being able to be so more aware from other forms of consciousness makes us quite automatically protectors of everything that abides on this protectorate and the protectorate itself. We are letting all others less aware forms down by staying ignorant of our true value or truer selves however we also have our own protectors who protect us but only if we allow them too.  By becoming further aware allows our own protectors to protect us otherwise all they will protect is the lesser aware forms bypassing us altogether I believe.

Other forms around us that are unable to become aware past their own nature are actually more aware than we are through their animal instinctiveness for example but this sort of awareness has it’s limits. We on the other hand are only limited by our actions and thoughts; we are obviously acting as Gods and Goddesses to these forms doing onto them as we will when we should be protecting them not destroying them.

By becoming more aware allows us to see who we really are, a creation from consciousness/God/the source, we are God or this consciousness but in a far lesser aware form.  The more aware we become the closer to God we become. Like I inferred in my last post, thinking all we are is mortal only gives us enough awareness to cause harm however if we were to think of ourselves as immortal we would then have enough awareness to know we are protectors of all lesser aware forms.

However when we go back into history we will find many leaders proclaiming themselves Gods or Goddesses, Nero is a famous one for this. This infers anyone who thinks of themselves as Gods can be extremely destructive not constructive however there is a big difference to thinking one is a God to being aware of one is of God.  Being God like takes an infinite amount of awareness but the funny thing is the more aware you become the less you can see yourself as a God so this is portraying that people like Nero where highly unaware not more aware.

Once the ego takes control our awareness, or the furthering of our awareness, diminishes mainly because we now have a fixation and any fixation deters further awareness, Nero was a good example of this.  On the opposite end of the scale Buddha and Jesus, especially Jesus, didn’t even have a fixation to their physical life.  Jesus and Buddha were aware they were of God/a higher consciousness and not a God and by determining this they complimented their stature and became constructive instead of destructive. This shows you how unaware our leaders are today and this is why a lot of people around the world clutch/clutched onto the wise and aware which were/are usually spiritually inclined.    

However, especially in the western thinking communities, we clutch onto leaders who promise to give us something if we elect them into office and of course this relates to the controlling ego. Yes awareness to an extent is needed to fool people into electing them however these people  fall far short of true awareness to the people we don’t elect into an office, the people we see as wise and aware within our community.  

Being truly aware allows us to become aware that the controlling factors of the ego demure our abilities to a limited, usually destructive awareness point. This sort of awareness allows us to see we are the protectors of such protectorates. I know I’m obviously naïve but I just can’t see why we don’t see that we are protectors of the protectorate and all that abides under this protectorate including each other.  This isn’t like being a lord or a senator as a lords and senators are obviously quite unaware, this is being aware that everyone is a protector not just the leaders of any said community. 

Spirituality- Immortality and Mortality

Written by Mathew Naismith

This certainly isn’t going to be a post for everyone especially for those who don’t believe in folklores, fables, mythology or anything that is written in the bible or other religious texts. I’m not saying these so called mythical recounts are as factual as they claim but they certainly, in my mind, worth noting.  The problem is we read these recounts in the way we perceive today, these accounts were written when we perceived quite differently to what we do today so of course they are going to seem mythical to us today.  What this post is really about however is immortality and mortality as the title depicts.

First of all, what makes one immortal as opposed to mortal? Being immortal is being God like or divine in some manner where’s mortality denotes a being that is mortal/human however what makes one actually different between being immortal and mortal?  

To answer this question we need to ask another question. What’s the difference between the awareness of an immortal to a mortal? It’s the lack of awareness that makes a mortal mortal however because the immortals are far more aware than a mortal, mythology depicts them as being divine/God like.  What this is saying, to be mortal one has to live in ignorance as opposed to being aware past the thought of just being mortal, so to answer the first question the difference between being mortal and mortal is how ignorant one is of their true selves.   

Mythology depicts quite often God and Goddess like beings over lording over mortal beings mainly because of the mortal’s ignorance of who they are.  There are also many other characters depicted in mythology and alike who over lord mortal beings even though they are mortal themselves.  In this case they are unaware of their own total immortality however they have enough awareness to over lord others who are totally ignorant of their true selves.

Overlording over less unaware being /entities isn’t necessarily a bad thing unless you mean harm. An overlord can protect the innocent and ignorant from harm from those who are more aware, that is why many people believe in a God like person overlording/overseeing them.  This seems to be saying only the ignorant will believe in an overlord like a God being a protector!!

Put up your hands if you are mortal? All mortal beings are ignorant however our ignorance is determined in how aware we are.  How many people who a more aware than most abuse this privilege? 
This is portrayed in many mythical recounts how a more aware being/entity abused this privilege instead of complimenting this awareness with kindness.  If we didn’t have the records we have today people like Hitler could have been visually depicted as some sort of demon in another thousand years time. People like Hitler have enough awareness to take control over others but aren’t aware enough to become a protector for the good of all especially of the collective and this is where God’s and Goddesses come into mythology and alike.

This brings us to being immortal, through furthering our awareness are we able to be God like, immortal? I believe most definitely, how does one heal without touching someone? This is a part of our immortality that most of us are ignorant too. This is the difference between a God like person/entity and a person who only thinks mortally.

This brings us to why aren’t we all mortal? We are at the soul level however because of our present state of human consciousness we can’t see ourselves being physically immortal mainly because of our ignorance of such occurrences actually being a reality.  There is a problem in being immortal however, who wants to live forever? This is an important question believe it or not.

No being who is truly aware wants to live forever for the main reason a fully aware person has no ego to enforce such a desire, Buddha is a good example of this. The paradox is, if you did want to become immortal to physically live forever you couldn’t because if the ego is enforcing such desires you are not aware enough to become physically immortal in the first place.  Only full awareness, without any of the controlling factors of the ego controlling our desires, can give one eternal physical life but once you become egoless you no longer desire to live forever, this is the paradox of living forever!!  

At the spirit/soul level we are all immortal however at the human physical level where mortal but only at the physical level so why have we all chosen to become ignorant of our true immortal selves?

There are numerous ways of staying ignorant and unaware of our true nature, physical pain is a good one and so is blatant ignorance.  Science is a very good way to become aware without becoming aware enough of one’s true nature of being immortal. We have all got our own way in staying mortal but why stay mortal and ignorant of our true nature, what’s the point?

In my mind we are all God’s and Goddesses in a sense because we are all truly aware and enlightened and it’s only our ignorance within realities like this one we no longer see ourselves any more than just mortal beings, well most of us anyway.  Now think of yourself as a selfless egoless God like energy source, what would you endure to experience the essence of all of what God/consciousness is especially in physical form? That is why we are all here I believe!! 

Awareness Brings Us Light

Written by Mathew Naismith

Note: I have appended a further supplement at the end of this post to further explain the difference between human knowledge & universal awareness.

This post is for anyone who, at any time, is finding it difficult coping with their newly found awareness. We are used to being aware mindfully but most of us aren’t used to being aware through our feelings and it’s these feeling that can be quite daunting at times. Universal awareness isn’t about knowledge or even knowing, even though our egos would love us to believe this, it’s about our non-thinking quietened side of ourselves, the feeling instead of thinking side to ourselves. 

We are made to believe one can’t be aware unless one is knowing and the more knowing we are the wiser and more aware we would obviously have to be. However our present situation doesn’t support this view, we are more knowing than ever but we are still enacting on the same intellectual behavioural pattern as we did thousands of years ago. This is obviously becoming a problem when feeling this growing and ever expanding awareness instead of just knowing of this awareness.

There are more spiritually aware people, especially in the western thinking community of the world, feeling awareness instead of just knowing of this awareness which is causing our psyche headaches because of the psychological readjustment needed.  We are now feeling this knowing instead of just knowing this knowing which I define as universal awareness.  It’s a huge ask of our psyche’s to handle without trauma of some kind. What seems to be happening is we are becoming this awareness itself but we are questioning that we would have to mentally know before becoming aware of such things. We have mentally judged awareness as being knowledge; you can’t possibly have one without the other. This sounds awfully like the ego talking here to me!! 

We should also take into consideration that when becoming spiritually aware, while our mentality is influenced by the controlling factors of the ego, can cause a lot of psychological trauma, this is inevitable unless we are trained spiritualist’s which most of us aren’t.  Praying, chanting and meditation are but a few spiritual practices one can practice in to alleviate such psychological traumas however most of us are unaware of these psychological traumas before they occur and it’s the sudden impact of such trauma that elevates these traumas to a higher level of effect.   I have seen this many times in others over time especially in the young.

I have a nephew who takes illicit drugs, the reason he gave for taking such drugs is to alleviate the mental pain and anguish of such a chaotic destructive world. My nephew is but one of millions of young people taking drugs for this same exact reason. 

Unbeknownst to most of us, we are now feeling more of this awareness than ever before, we are now feeling this awareness before we mentally know of this awareness; of course the psyche is going to have a hard time of it.  The best way to handle this is become aware of why we feel the way we do at times and have an understanding in why our psyche is going to feel traumatised for no apparent knowable reason.

Human knowledge can only go as far as the mind can consciously understand, human knowledge is needed to become aware but only to a certain extent, mainly because of it’s conscious short falls. The ego tries to make up for these short falls by making us believe this is it, there is nothing beyond our human knowing like a universal consciousness for instance.

I believe once one connects fully to this universal awareness only then we realise human knowledge can actually, at times, hinder our progression towards universal awareness, and at best, assist us in our endeavours towards furthering our awareness. Human knowledge, at no time, should be considered the be and end all nor should we think we need human knowledge to become aware.

I’ve worked with various people with many different kinds of disabilities, the most unknowledgeable people can be the most aware people but of course able people’s egos don’t want to acknowledge this sadly enough. Awareness is light but man’s knowledge can so often dull this light to the extent we think it’s never existed.  

Spirituality-A Secret Balance

Written by Mathew Naismith

There seems to be, in most, a definable difference between our spiritual self & our human self which is defined by awareness, the more aware we are of the inner and outer workings of life, as a whole, the more our human selves realise we are not being all we are.  The funny thing is though; spirituality is defined by how aware we are which means spirituality is about becoming more aware. This means when we talk about spirituality we are talking about awareness so is this saying the human self is of ignorance?  

Going by actual experiences, there is a huge difference between the human and spiritual self, when we talk about the spiritual in life we are actually talking about awareness which is quite different to human sciences. Human science can only become aware or knowing of what it is consciously aware of but the spiritual self is aware of all of what is. I can understand how science minded people see spirituality as being threatening to their ideological views however the most successful scientists in human history, I believe, are also connected to this spiritual awareness. Many sit within their own quietness which is similar to meditating.  What a scientist is doing when they sit within their own quietness is focusing, people who meditate also focus especially on their breathing. In this case, scientist have balanced out the human self with the aware spiritual self, unbeknownst to most scientists, however the ego wants to take all the credit in being so smart and usually refutes any claim the only reason they are so smart is because of their connectedness to the spiritual aware self.  

This brings us to spiritually aware people themselves, what gives balance to a spiritually aware person? Believe it or not, if spiritually aware people didn’t have this balance between their spiritually aware self and the human self they wouldn’t exist as humans, they would, like the Mayans and many other individuals, physically disappear which brings us back to the question, what balances out a spiritually aware person so they don’t just disappear from this physical world/reality?

Let’s go back to scientists, what balances them out? Believe it or not it’s our ignorance which is egotistically driven; most scientists are ignorant to where there braininess comes from because they want to believe it’s them as individuals who are so aware and knowing.  Of course spiritually aware people know differently mainly because we tend to be not as driven by the ego however I feel if we weren’t driven by ego at all we would disappear.  What I am saying is the ego helps us balance out our spiritual and human self so we don’t change our vibrations to the extent of disappearing.     

The below link shows quite clearly how spirituality and science are in tune with each other and how science minded people just can’t see beyond their egos where’s a lot of spiritually aware people can.

Extract: Right before the event began, I approached the professor on the panel to say hello. We had met once before, and as I stretched out my hand for a shake I noticed a hesitation on his part in return. Frankly, he didn't look very happy to see me, but I didn't make much of it. During the dialogue and discussion, I noticed he was very aggressive and took every opportunity to belittle all the aspects of spirituality and yoga, of which he had little or no knowledge about in the first place. I realized at that moment that there was a new breed of fanatics on the rise and this breed had nothing to do with religion.

I would also like to add to this by saying; there are a lot of spiritually aware people who clash with science ideologies as well which again denote a controlling ego controlling us to think in certain ways.  When we are thinking in certain ways, either it be spiritually or scientifically, what is driving this thought pattern? Also have some spiritually aware people become highly egotistical when they think of themselves as being more aware especially over and above science minded people?  The link above shows clearly how science and spiritualty are as one however our egos tell us something quite different when we believe in a supposed opposing ideology.  It’s our egos telling us we believe in a much wiser and aware ideological process however being spiritually aware does make us or should make us more aware of this. I don’t believe this is the case with scientists who shut themselves off from the rest of the world to focus on a particular point like spiritually aware people do when meditating.

Anyone with a fixated ideological belief isn’t going to accept this mainly because of the controlling factors of the ego.  

I believe the scientists who have shut themselves off in this way have quite nicely balanced out the spiritual & human self, mostly unbeknownst to them,  probably a lot better than most spiritually aware people can. This is because a lot of spiritually aware people are only focused and believe in spiritual awareness and denounce anything else beyond this thought process. This thought process is obviously controlled by the ego denoting,” my ideological beliefs are far superior to science ideologies”.  It takes a wise spiritually aware person to become aware enough to know it’s all about awareness no matter how that awareness has been obtained.  Yes science has proven itself unworthy at times but so has spirituality, when this happens, where is this awareness?

It is funny to think the ego is keeping us balanced between our spiritual and human selves unless we are unwise. It is obvious the ego has gone troppo in this reality either it be scientifically/technologically driven or spiritually/religiously driven however where there is a balance between our human and spiritual selves the controlling factors of the ego are far less controlling which in turn gives us balance. According to a number of spiritually aware people we should rid ourselves of the ego all together; I believe there is no balance in this between our human and spiritual selves. If we want to end up like the Mayans fair enough but most of us don’t see any point to this. I believe there is a reason we are here and it’s not to just disappear but find a balance between the human and spiritual self or if you like, the ego and spiritual self.  Once we find this balance collectively, what we know what heaven to be will seem lame.  

Conceived from Sparks of Consciousness

Written by Mathew Naismith

“We have all been created from dust particles however we were all conceived through consciousness!!” This is my latest quote and it has so much relevance within how aware we are becoming, dust created who we are but consciousness is what we are.  Our evolutionary body & mind was created from dust, the reason I say evolutionary is because our mind & body have evolved in time which has given us man made conscious awareness of who we are, mainly through various science’s but of course religion/spirituality had a hand in this as well through time.

As any species evolve, it becomes more and more consciously aware of itself and it’s surroundings, this is consciousness brought on by evolutionarily evolving but of course this takes time. It’s funny to think that man’s consciousness evolved from specs of dust and gases but it has. Why has man evolved and a rock and a tree or other biological species haven’t, especially in conscious awareness?  Man was created through time from specs of dust but how does a speck of dust become aware and continues to evolve in conscious awareness?

This sounds awfully loony to think man’s conscious awareness is due to being created from dust, I could pick up a handful of dust and no matter what I do to this dust it will not become aware of itself. The theory of evolution has given us some idea in how man’s consciousness has come about, it took many thousands of years to evolve but I still to this day wonder how a speck of dust becomes aware of itself!!   

As usual to answer such queries we look at ourselves & our own evolution which is influenced by our outer environment. In one life time our awareness can grow quite dramatically from birth to adulthood, this is how evolution works on a small scale, it also works this way on a larger scale as human history proves, this is saying time is needed for evolution to work. It is obvious how evolution, by just looking at one life time, has given us consciousness of man. So if we look at the creation of the universe itself we can see how evolution works.

Wait a minute, what are we doing!! We have compared ourselves to the rest of the known universe and came up with how evolution has created our conscious awareness, man seems to only be able to make deductions on what man himself has become. However the rest of the universe isn’t reliant on man to make such deductions, it’s not built upon man’s evolution, man is built upon the evolution of the universe.  Man and his consciousness came sometime after the creation of the universe so how can we make such deductions from our own consciousness about how everything else evolved in the universe. Yes science has proven to a point in how the universe was created but how was it conceived.  Conceived doesn’t just mean created, it also means envisioned and perceived. Man, in his wisdom, doesn’t or can’t look at the universe as being conceived as in envisioned or perceived because his too busy relating the rest of the universe upon what he knows not what is actually known. There couldn’t possibly be a consciousness before man’s consciousness, it would have had to be conceived even before the universe was created and this is impossible because it takes time to create conscious awareness obviously or so man thinks!!

It’s funny how we compare the rest of creation on man’s limited understanding; he seems to only know of what time has given him to know, mainly through evolution and the following experiences of evolving. The thing is, man doesn’t know that everything he needs to know is right in front of him. Science has only looked at the universe as being created but has never, to my knowing, looked seriously at the universe as being conceived. We humans conceive all the times through being consciously aware either it be giving birth (creating) or conceiving new ideas, this is all a part of evolution & evolving, why can’t we see the universe as being conceived? Are our egos that inflated??

We have our own consciousness that has evolved through time but there is in my mind a higher conscious, it’s only higher because it’s far more aware than human consciousness. We try so desperately to look outwardly beyond the stars for answers when all the time the answers were right there in front of us. This is like an individual looking for something out from oneself that has always been within.  Man’s consciousness has come from outside of oneself mainly from experiences throughout history however universal consciousness comes from within, a consciousness that is right in front of us.  

Spirituality-Awareness and Knowledge

Written by Mathew Naismith

One of our biggest mistakes as a species was replacing awareness with knowledge that got us thinking knowledge brings on awareness!!  Knowledge has given us degradation where’s awareness wouldn’t have done this because with awareness comes wisdom. It is obvious knowledge doesn’t always bring on wisdom.

“Knowledge has to be searched out where’s awareness is just remembered!!”

Would it not take awareness to search out knowledge? Yes, we have always done this but the problem is now we think knowledge brings us awareness when it’s awareness in the first place that allows us to search out this knowledge. Awareness, no matter what it is pertaining too, is the forerunner of knowledge. Yes knowledge can bring on further awareness but it’s awareness in the first place that induces us to seek out this knowledge, knowledge doesn’t & can’t induce us to seek out awareness without being aware in the first place.

With thinking that knowledge brings on awareness and wisdom, has given us degradation onto ourselves, each other & the rest of our environment, if knowledge was supposed to bring on awareness and knowledge, why are we so destructive and hurtful still? Is a true spiritually wise and aware person destructive, egotistical and hurtful and what is the difference between the actions of a knowledgeable person to a person who is more aware than knowledgeable?  The answer to the first question is obvious but what about the second question, what does define our actions?  

Conglomerates/corporations rule over everything within this reality, the people in charge are either very knowledgeable &/or have people under them who are knowledgeable.  These same people are not or don’t want to be aware of their destructive ways but a wise & aware person would be aware and take appropriate action to arrest any such problem that is going to hurt others or the environment. There is obviously a huge difference within the reasoning of a knowledgeable person to a wise and aware person, what is the driving force of these different reasoning processes? It comes down once again to ego, one being controlled by the ego & the other not being controlled by the ego.  A controlling ego gives us destructiveness and an ego not in control gives us constructiveness. It is obvious between multinationals and spiritually wise people who is controlled by the ego & who isn’t and who thinks knowledge brings on awareness and who doesn’t.  The reasoning process between these people can be quite massive and either massively destructive or constructive.

It is clear that awareness brings forth knowledge, this has occurred since the dawn of man but what seems to be happening now is  knowledge has overridden awareness and wisdom when awareness and wisdom should have still been an important part of gaining, and most importantly, implementing this knowledge so it won’t impact on us and our environment destructively. Yes, knowledge and awareness/wisdom still go hand in hand with some people today who aren’t spiritually inclined however it is obvious they aren’t the ones who have a say in the way multinationals use knowledge. 

While writing this post, I went on the net to do a little research on the difference between knowledge and awareness, there is no set conclusive agreed perception of the differences between these two, some say they are the same others say they are quite different in the way they make us think and act.  Some knowledgeable people say knowledge induces awareness which brings us wisdom however human history, especially recent human history, doesn’t show this to be true obviously mainly because of our destructive ways.  We also have other people who are knowledgeable who say they enhance each other and that one can’t function properly and efficiently without the other which human history does show. If we are not aware enough, human history is there to show us our short falls and I think history has done that here by showing us the differences between knowledge and awareness. 

I will now leave you with Wikipedia’s interpretation of awareness & knowledge; it’s interesting to note the contrasts & similarities between knowledge & awareness.  To me it seems awareness can be functional when used on it’s own but knowledge needs awareness to know and to know how to implement such knowing constructively.  I should also point out, I feel there is a difference between knowing & knowledge, knowledge is understanding, knowing is being aware of these understandings without needing to actually understand and become knowledgeable of what we are aware of!!

Extracts:

Awareness is the state or ability to perceive, to feel, or to be conscious of events, objects, or sensory patterns. In this level of consciousness, sense data can be confirmed by an observer without necessarily implying understanding. More broadly, it is the state or quality of being aware of something. In biological psychology, awareness is defined as a human's or an animal's perception and cognitive reaction to a condition or event.

Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning. Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); it can be more or less formal or systematic.[1] In philosophy, the study of knowledge is called epistemology; the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as "justified true belief." However, no single agreed upon definition of knowledge exists, though there are numerous theories to explain it.

Inspiring Confirmative Video

Written by Mathew Naismith

I was just going to insert this video in the section on my blog under the title interesting vid’s however I’m being nagged to present this in post form as well. It’s becoming harder these days to ignore the inner child within. It‘s quite a popular video that confirms what I have been writing about recently in relation to control & time, we are starting to become aware & think of the same things at the same time which seems to denote collectiveness. Things seem to be definitely on the move as we are seeing this more often these days which of course denotes synchronistic moments which again denotes a more heightened awareness.  Please sit back & enjoy this short vid.

Pair O' Dime Shift 4 ~ On Being Human...

The thing is we do seem to have forgotten how to be human in it's totality, once life was about mysticism & the magic of life itself but at present it's about science, technology & consumerism. One is about time & timelessness & the other is just of time. It's fine to be of time but we have forgotten how to be in timelessness as well I feel.   

   

   

Spirituality & Delusions

Written by Mathew Naismith

This keeps coming up at present; are spiritually aware people, religious or not, actually experiencing delusional episodes when experiencing heightened awareness of some kind. It is common to feel one is God like at times especially early on in one’s spiritual development, are experiences & feelings like this delusional?  All I can do is smile when I’m confronted with such questions.  

The two following links are definitely worth looking at even if you don’t suffer from bipolar or similar symptoms as they show anyone who has experienced a heightened awareness why they have not experienced actual delusional episodes. The first link is a vid which goes into how people with bipolar break down the barriers of the ego which is why they experience such heightened awareness  

http://www.newagesearch.com/videos-bipolar-spiritual-awakening.html

The next link is a written account of someone who experienced a heightened awareness while experiencing bipolar episodes.  

http://rachelmiller1511.wordpress.com/2013/05/11/bipolar-disorder-as-spiritual-awakening/#comment-2960

Such heightened awareness or delusional episodes should actually be supported in my mind but because of the controlling factors of the ego of a number of scientist & physicians heightened awareness is put down as a delusional episode of some kind. If the controlling ego is unable to understand & explain certain experiences, one of the best ways to protect the ego is through denial & one of the best way to do this is diagnose what they don’t understand as delusional. I actually feel for these people because there controlling factors of the ego have stopped them from being aware of more than they can consciously understand. This sounds funny, how can anyone become aware of something they don’t understand but the real question should be how can we allow our ignorance to hinder expanding on our awareness? The controlling ego will always go with the first question however an ego not in control will always go with the last question which to me makes more logical & common sense to me. There are scientists & physicians alike who ask the last question, these are the people who excel above their peers I believe.

Now getting back to delusional episodes; I was asked recently about people in comas, do they actually lose time while in a coma? I answered yes & no, yes because in time it is obvious we lose time but no because we are actually in another dimension so in this dimension we are no longer losing time within our inner consciousness because we are not really conscious here. Our body is here within this consciousness but our inner conscious mind isn’t.  Any experience we remember while in a coma is usually again put down as some kind of delusional episode. Dreams & OBE’s are another good example of experiencing other dimensions, are dreams & OBE’s delusional if we experience a heightened awareness? According to people with a controlling ego the answer of course is going to be a yes but to an ego that isn’t controlling the answer of course would be a no.

This is another reason why we have so many different perceptions to what’s what, it all depends on how controlling the ego is to how we perceive & how aware we will actually be. What I am saying here is it’s how controlling the ego is to what perception & awareness we will have, the controlling factors of the ego dictate how we will perceive & how aware we will be. No wonder we perceive so differently to each other!!  

Bipolar for an example lessons the effects of such controlling factors of the ego therefore attachments which is shown in the vid in the first link. So when we lesson the effects of the controlling factors of the ego & experience a heightened awareness people with controlling egos are obviously going to put such people down mainly because they have little understanding of anything beyond what their egos want them to know. One should always show empathy towards such people for they know not what they do, really!!    

The Kingdom of God? –Awareness

Written by Mathew Naismith

I was asked recently about my idea about the Kingdom of God? The following was my reply.  

http://www.linkedin.com/groupItem?view=&gid=1523037&item=5823658184102924288&type=member&commentID=5829920289751842816&trk=hb_ntf_COMMENTED_ON_GROUP_DISCUSSION_YOU_COMMENTED_ON#commentID_5829920289751842816

G'day Ali

The kingdom of God, in a religious sense I have no idea, what the kingdom of God means for one religion isn't accepted by another religion.

 What does it mean to me? I believe we are in the kingdom of God, where not aware of this & some of us don't want to be aware of this. As soon as we become spiritually aware enough to know we have always been in the kingdom of God we realise all it took to know this was awareness. Religion has tried to make us aware but at times people within a certain religious order have gone astray, we are but human after all. Some people say religion is dying a slow death mainly because of people with flaws within these religious orders but I don't think so, religious people like anything else will evolve & become aware of their errors within these religious orders in time. We must be aware of the past & learn from it.

 I had an experience a few months ago with the souls of entities who were set on evil intent, they utterly fear awareness beyond what they know, they just don't want to know. I felt a real kindred to them because I could see within their souls they too were of the light, they just didn't want to know this.

How & why become set on evil intent? The controlling factors of the ego I believe has a lot to do with it, once one becomes totally fixated to these controlling factors, especially at the soul level, the soul no longer wants anything that will take this control away. Imagine fearing to your utter depth of your soul in losing control!!

 Spirituality is about awareness & releasing control not gaining it & this is where people within these religious orders have gone off mark. The kingdom of God to me represents awareness to the max.

Sorry if the above has offended anyone as that was not my intention, my intention is to be honest & straight forward within my views & beliefs to anyone who reads my posts. I am not what you would call a religious person however I do realise the importance of religion within human society remembering the word religion actually refers to a belief, creed or a conviction of any kind however religious more or less refers to actual religious (spiritual) practices.  In saying this I do however practice in sitting within my own quietness which of course you could call a religious practice.  

In all I call all of what is the kingdom of God or the source or consciousness itself & I believe the more aware you are, differentiated from knowledge,   the closer you are to the kingdom of God or the more connected you are to the source itself. All this I believe comes from being aware & to do this we need to beware of the controlling factors of the ego remembering this is where people in certain religious orders have gone astray. Spirituality isn’t about control but releasing control, we must be aware of this if we want things to change for the better.   

One more thing, the reason I mentioned awareness being differentiated from knowledge is knowledge can be controlling as opposed to spiritual awareness releasing control!!

The Six Stages of Awareness

Written by Mathew Naismith

This is an interesting article on awareness & believe it or not it didn’t come from a source that is spiritually based.    

Extract: “(The following was spoken at a seminar:)

Today is about examining data in a whole new way.   I am going to provide you with a new framework for viewing this data, a scaffolding on which to drape this data, that is probably built a little differently than the framework you already have.  The information is absolutely vital and critical to your future, but it will be worthless if we examine it in the same way that it has been presented to us by what I’ll term ‘our popular culture.

So your first opportunity today will be the opportunity to change your thinking.”

http://www.peakprosperity.com/martensonreport/six-stages-awareness

This will explain why some people can only perceive to a certain awareness point & others can perceive to any point of understanding which gives them a broader range of awareness to think by allowing for a less bias opinions.   After reading or actually going through each step you should begin to understand why other people who can’t reason past a certain point won’t accept people’s reasoning who are more aware. As I have always said, awareness isn’t portrayed by how much knowledge you know but how you understand the knowledge you have acquired.    

The following link is interesting as well, it defines the important relationship between awareness, knowledge & understanding. Unless you experience what you have read or studied it is unlikely you will actually be aware of what you know, you will most likely have less understanding than people who have actually experience the same knowledge.  This brings us back to the six stages of awareness I believe as it will help bridge this gap between awareness & knowledge within ourselves.

Spiritual Reasoning

Written by Mathew Naismith

Spiritual awareness is all about being aware not unaware which also includes our reasoning processes we all use at one time or another. There are two main reasoning processes that us human use, deductive & inductive & of course there are also other reasoning processes we use as well like adductive & reductive reasoning however on most parts we use the first two mentioned here.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deductive reasoning, also deductive logic or logical deduction or, informally, "top-down" logic,[1] is the process of reasoning from one or more general statements (premises) to reach a logically certain conclusion.

Inductive reasoning (as opposed to deductive reasoning) is reasoning in which the premises seek to supply strong evidence for (not absolute proof of) the truth of the conclusion. While the conclusion of a deductive argument is supposed to be certain, the truth of an inductive argument is supposed to be probable, based upon the evidence given.

Recently I have been in conversation with a person who only deductively reasons, anyone not reasoning deductively seems to be wrong to this person no matter what.  I should say here that at times I will also use deductive reasoning myself. This would seem this kind of reasoning process is ego controlled remembering this reasoning process is all based on logics, we must think here where this logics is mostly obtained from!! Logics are learnt through books & study which denotes knowledge but what is this knowledge?  Knowledge is only what we can remember in most parts from books & study so the more knowledge we can obtain/remember the more we can sprout about which is in most feeding the controlling ego.   The other problem with only thinking deductively with most people is because it’s mostly learnt through books & other people’s study very little actual experience has be obtained through all this knowing, we are obviously only gaining knowledge to feed our egos because if we are not experiencing this knowledge what else are we doing with it?

Inductive reasoning is quite different for the main reason it’s not based on logics & for this reason it is more open to various other possibilities & reasoning processes believe it or not.  Inductive reasoning, especially for a spiritually aware person, is more about experiences & feelings which in most parts is impossible for a person who only deductively reasons to understand & accept.  Inductive reasoning for a spiritually aware person is obviously more about awareness than knowledge & once you take away this egotistically empowered knowledge you are left with pure awareness which of course isn’t egotistically controlled, this to me seems like spiritual reasoning in it’s purest form.  Spiritually aware people can make the same mistake like people who only deductively reason by accumulating knowledge & calling it awareness & as soon as we have done this we are back at the ego being in control again unless we are able to use this knowledge to obtain actual experiences & even then this could denote the ego being in control .  We should also remember our ego will tell us one thing when it’s quite something else, our egos will tell us we are not egotistically driven when we are, just something else to be aware of.  

At the human level of learning awareness & knowledge are seemingly the same, the more knowledge you have obtained/remembered the more aware one is going to obviously be which takes the brain to analyse however spirituality isn’t just about  the human self but of all of what is. It is also not all about thinking either.  When we sit within our own quietness what are we doing, are we accumulating knowledge or are we just being aware? Knowledge has nothing to do with being spiritually aware, humanly aware yes but not spiritually. We in fact need very little knowledge to become spiritually aware just aware of our intuitive instincts & feelings, in other words becoming more in tune with ourselves instead of the ego self.
