Revision 1

Religion

Religion is largely of the mind (the mental body) and therefore predominately psychological. A religion is taught, and the brain brainwashed into it; for such minds need meaning - a home, a sense of belonging. It is for this reason that people in dire need often become very religious. They cannot see the way forward other than through what, for them, is so plainly the truth as packaged and presented to them, if not within the written word, then in the teachings, passion and beliefs of others. It is for this very reason that I urge you not to blindly follow what's right for others, but rather what's right for you.

One should never believe in anything; one should rather simply know the Truth as Oneself, for at the end of the day, Oneself always remains. This is Truth. Neither should one ever be coerced into a belief system; for if it is not already inside of you (as [of] Yourself) then it's of course not for you, and you should stay clear from it. For example, it's not the heart to fear anything - for at the point of birth there is no fear. The heart fears nothing. Fear is only of the mind and fancied (sought after) over time. So if you find yourself following a religion out of fear, then [simply] don't, because you would then be following your head and not your heart and, as a result, fall into the very trap you were trying to avoid in the first place.

If ever you need to understand the nature and grip of deception, look to the masses. Do not the masses follow the great world faiths? And what are these? Truth rises always only from within oneself (as [of] Oneself). Anything else is simply a Lie - there to bring an explanation of [this] life - the Great Lie.

Religions seek to create "God" within the mind, and to then pursue such illusive creations. This is of course pure psychology - where the mind is set to rest through first wrestling with itself in this way. Part of this wrestling process consists of a series of ceremonies, rituals, prayers and the like. Religion is thus a set of psychological techniques geared to set the mind at rest. This is exceptional weakness and absolute spiritual irresponsibility! Fortunately, though, what is really happening is that people are using their religions to represent the various ways in which they are trying to understand God and ultimately Themselves.

Because man does not know Himself, he looks externally for meaning – to find Himself there. When this fails, he invents religions that lay down dogma. This is an easy copout for the brain, because now it no longer has to think for itself, thus fooling itself into a mindless state of illusionary bliss. A person like this usually remains loyal to his or her religion for life – brainwashed into it and held securely by its icy grip. They are basically held captive by their own minds because their fear of facing life for what it really is, is just all too consuming.

Religion is created out of a psychological need to attain to some satisfactory "state of mind". This mental activity will persist until the brain produces a "desired mind" – one which is at an acceptable level of rest. This state of rest is usually illusionary peace of mind. When people are happy with their religions, it means they've found something that completes them psychologically. The problem, though, is that this is pure illusion and self-deceit. Man is a follower of religion purely out of weakness and a lack of self-worth (identity). Blind faith is nothing short of madness, for it is real in the mind yet non-existent in the real world.

Fortunately, some religious folk do however find themselves questioning their faith. It often takes something traumatic, though, to jolt the mind out of its cocoon of illusion so that all things can once again be seen for what they really are instead of how the religiously brainwashed mind sees them.

Intelligence

Cosmic energy is continuously being channeled by the brain and transformed into thought. This is the mind. Intelligence is the disparity between the brain's reach into the Cosmos and the mind. When a thought is first conjured from out of the Cosmos, this is intelligence. This is when man listens to Self/God. This is enlightenment. In error, we can revel at how smart we are to think such thoughts, when in actual fact they come but from the Voice within.

Intelligence is the capacity of the brain to channel Cosmic energy, transforming it into the mind. The moment the energy becomes the mind, it is owned by the individual and transformed from intelligence to knowledge. Intelligence is Cosmic interaction, whilst knowledge self-revelry. Intelligence is listening to Self/God, whilst knowledge listening to one's illusionary worldly self.

Since it is left purely up to the Cosmos to pass on energy to the brain, we are found continuously to be completely at the mercy of our own consciousness (Self/God) that drives the Cosmos and the intelligence that it brings. This is why life here on earth relentlessly persists until death.

The energy emanating from out of the Cosmos is only appreciated on an ad-hoc basis. The appreciation of energy is the created form (the way energy is organized). This is what gives life its variation and the created their distinctive forms. When you see a shoe, for example, that shoe is one particular way of receiving Cosmic intelligence, a car another. The enlightenment that brings on the shoe is different from that which brings on the car. Every thought is but pure enlightenment. It is only when it is owned that the enlightenment is transformed into knowledge, and we declare, "This is a shoe, and that is a car".

Since the brain taps into the Cosmos to varying degrees, the splendid variety of knowledge arising from out of the brain can be said to be "human intelligence" (what really is Cosmic knowledge). The world about can only arise out of a brain that spawns thoughts on an ad-hoc basis – in other words, the brain is out of control to at least some degree – the more out of control, the more intelligent the resultant mind. This is why there is a fine line between a genius and an insane person. Genius is really controlled insanity – like the cooling rods that keep a nuclear reactor in check. If the brain was in perfect harmony with the Cosmos, there would not be the mind – only pure enlightenment. You would not see Self/God as the shoe or car - you would simply see Self/God. Not only this, but you would actually be Self/God since your consiousness would not be different from Pure Consciousness. And Pure consciousness is of course Self/God.

Belief

But because the brain insists on the corruption of Cosmic energy into thought, because it insists on only seeing the expressions of consciousness and not being Consciousness Itself, it is said to be intelligent (because it sees the world). This intelligence (which is really desire - an incarnation) is the sole cause of all our grief.

Because man grieves, he needs to somehow flatten how he receives Cosmic energy, and so he channels it in specific ways. First he sees life (the created forms about him), and then believes in the concept of the "Creator" - the Force behind the created forms. Belief is but one mechanism through which this is done. The virtues of behavior, tolerance and kindness are others – to name but a few.

Intelligence gives rise to grief. The corruption or transformation of intelligence into knowledge is the demise of grief. It is much better (and far easier) to not think, and rather simply to know (to believe). Belief systems are so popular because they do all the thinking for the believer - all that's left for the believer is to simply "believe".

If you are going to choose to be blind to [the] Truth, it doesn't matter which blindness (religion) you adopt - you will remain blind. It's like a blind man thinking that he will be able to see if he faces in a certain direction!

Because believe channels Cosmic energy in specific ways, it can be used in altering manifestations. For example if you have a disease and you really believe that you can only be healed a certain way, then the Life-Force that you are anyway perpetually receiving from the Cosmos will be channeled as per that system of belief. At the end of the day, it is still Self/God healing you. How you channel that healing energy is of no import.

Belief is a taming of the mind. It is a distraction from Reality – from what is so apparent. Self/God alone is Reality. This is Life. Belief brings Death since it runs from Life. Since belief shuts you off from [the] Truth, from Life, it is arrogance – the embodiment of individuality, the strictest of illusions, and thus the strictest of lies. Arrogance is therefore Death.

To curb human fear, many believe. But this is only a temporary delusion. At the end of the day, what needs to be done by every man before he can escape the cycle of death and rebirth, is to become Himself (God – Pure Consciousness). Only once a man is Himself will there no longer be the desire to be a mere expression of Himself (i.e. a created form). Only once a man is Himself will there be no fear, for no longer is there anything outside of Himself to fear! Subscribing to a religious belief will curb only surface fear at best. Not believing in anything and becoming Oneself curbs all things – fear included.

Truth

For Truth to be Truth, It has to be all encompassing – not only affecting everyone equally but also being everyone. If people differ then truth is not what separates them – it is only the illusion of themselves and the false beliefs that arise out of this falsehood. Everyone in this world, for exampl, is subject to gravity, but not everyone in this world is subject to Islam or Christianity; so these are of a lesser truth than gravity. God is everything, and therefore everywhere – not exclusively as just one thing or in one place.

One's Need

Now believers believe because they have a need to believe – the greater the need, the more fanatical the belief. Look at the religiously fanatical leaders. There are two types: those with hidden agendas (power, money, etc) and those that are genuine (to themselves). The genuine ones are only releasing psychological pressures through their belief. Most of them had a rough upbringing, or a very rough life. They were either abused or went down the wrong path and reached the end of their rope. How is it that "God" seems to only make fanatically religious people out these types of people? No, these people have found but a psychological way out for themselves, and then assume that it's right for everyone! It is psychological because animals aren't religious. Neither can a baby or a brain-dead person appreciate the dynamics of "worship". Again - those that believe need to believe.

Then there are those that do not believe in anything. Again such people are like this because they are driven by the need to be this way. For myself, I don’t believe because I have already seen the Truth - that I am the Truth in all Fullness; and never was I not the Truth. I don’t believe because I realize the folly and psychological deception of it all.

Whether or not you believe in anything makes no difference to the way things are. Gravity remains gravity whether a person is a Hindu or Muslim. Gravity pulls down on both equally. Similarly, death comes to all – since illusion must pass away to reveal the Truth that is Oneself. Self/God is yet another example – Consciousness remains the Force behind the form. That same Consciousness drives both believer. That same Consciousness too, drives the atheist and murderer. This is so, because whatever happens, happens because of the underlying consciousness – your consciousness.

Fear

Fear is the creator and sustainer of all religious faiths. Fear causes one, as a matter of extreme urgency, to create "God". Fear is simply glamour, for it is desire. If there were no fear there would be no need for religion, for we would [regard ourselves to] be perfect. There would be no need for Heaven, Hell or even God, for there would be only the present moment of complete contentment. We would literally all be [like the] animals – free and living [only] in the moment.

Because the mind is restless, seeks stability and needs to be assured of continual stability, man invents religious faiths of apt promise – promise even after death. This is not surprising since man fears death so much; and religion is just a psychological means, through self-delusion, of dissolving this fear to a degree.

But man did not fear coming here, for he came to this world so freely! Yes, so easily did we all come here, for we are all indeed here – every last one! In the way that a man came to this world, so too will death embrace him. In fact, the two are one; and death is [of] Life. Why then the fear of death? Why then this madness? [For] Reality persists [regardless].

Reality (God), of which the individual soul is but an aspect, continues along the path of self-discovery - the path of eventually exhausting all experiences, realizing them to be but mere manifestations of the Truth - not the Truth Itself. Only once an experience is exhaused, will there no longer be the desire to remanifest it as a mere aspect of Oneself. So in this way the soul journeys upward, giving up [the] lower worlds. Why fear this [Greater] Reality of which this life and its manifestations are but a frame in the movie of the soul's journey. Even now, we star in the movie and death is always with us (between the frames). When [the moment of] death hits you, life surely persists - only the physical aspect of Oneself is momentarity dropped.

Fear comes in many forms. It can come in the form of the fear of not doing the right thing or of doing the wrong thing, for not being the right person or for being the wrong person, through to just plain old-fashioned fear of Hell, the punishment of God or what have you.

But what exactly is fear? Fear is simply dissatisfaction or discontentment with the present moment. This is desire (Consciousess), the creator of all ill; for Consciousness is [the appreciation of] illusion. It is consciousness that brings on life's moments (manifestions) one after the next. When one is unsettled, this is fear. For example, illness is an undesirable change of health, so man fears it, for he is disrupted by it - it takes him from his snug illusionary self. Death brings on much discontentment, and so man fears it greatly. So great the fear, that he even basis religious beliefs around death to ease the pain caused through the dissatisfaction that it brings. Man even mourns the dead – so he thinks. But here he, in truth, is not really mourning for the deceased, but rather for himself because of the pain suffered due to his carnal desire (worldly attachment to the deceased). One can even mourn over discontentment itself, where one feels sorry for oneself. Here one is mourning fear itself, so consumed is man with his fear!

"The punishment of God to come" is regarded by some to be a cause for great discontentment, and is thus greatly feared. People are not even being punished, and yet they so greatly fear some so-called "punishment to come". This is nothing short of madness; for how can one possibly fear something that is not actually happening? If it happens, then it happens; if it doesn't then it doesn't. It doesn't make any sense to fear something that isn't already happening!

Since to fear refers to the discontentment with the present moment, to fear actually means to be disgruntled with God; for God is, for man, the Present moment Itself. To fear then, actually reveals a lack of faith in God - the embodiment of all things, pain and Heaven/Hell included. The only revelation of God to Man is the Present Moment, through which, and as, all things occur. To embrace the offerings of the Present moment at all times, whether they be [subjectively] assessed as good or bad, is to embrace God Itself, for not only does God sustain all these things, but is Itself all things. To accept all things as and when the present moment metes them out is to trust God, to have faith in God and ultimately to embrace God. This is the meaning of Self-love.

When one becomes Oneself there is positively no fear of anything at all. Never was there, and never can there ever be any fear. For when one is Oneself, there is nothing outside of Oneself - not even fear. One is the embodiment (bringer) of all things, and thus there is nothing to fear. One has perfect control over the brain, where not a single thought is spawned carelessly (on its own). What results is a mind that is perfect. Each thought is perfectly engineered, wrapped up, and self-contained – a Cosmos in Itself.

One needs to tame the "wild horses" of the mind [in order] to not fear at all. The only way to do this is to live in and as the present moment. This is strictly to be Oneself/God. For the brain to be in harmony with one's "God-Self" it must be "flat" where there are no uncontrolled thoughts (no uncontrolled "spikes" or concentrations of consciousness). Here all things are uniform and in balance with all other things, and where all things rise only from within the consciousness that defines Oneself as all things.

The Curse of Intelligence

But what causes fear? It is intelligence that gives rise to fear. The brain's intelligence bombards one with fabricated "what-if" scenarios to both entertain and torment. The brain delights in this activity, for it diligently persists in it continuously - producing a mind arrogant and reveling in its own madness, for because of fear, it feels more "alive" - channeled is the consciousness that results in the soul/ego - the essence of individuality. Without fear there is no sensation, and thus no longer the illusion of what men have come to understand to be "life". Fear is thus nothing but [a product of] worldly attachment (desire). Fear is [of] glamour, and thus a primary cause of rebirth. Be sure then on your deathbed to not fear!

A man who is not wiser than the intelligence that creates and drives these abstract "what-if" scenarios will succumb to and entertain them within his mind his whole life. When others are observed succumbing to those same fears, it's even more psychologically harder to resist. Worse still, when a person is actually brainwashed into a certain belief system, especially if it's fanatical, it takes intelligence of note to break the accompanying psychological bonds. This type of intelligence* comes only from the Heavens and is in fact what fully defines them. It is Mind, the Cosmos.

* This type of intelligence is not to be confused with conventional intelligence, which is the disparity between the mind and the Cosmos.

The Fallacy of Sin

Because man hates himself and goes to great lengths to run from All that he Is, he just loves religions that insist that he needs deliverance from who or what he is. These religions dogmatically state that man is a "sinner" and needs to be saved. Saved from what? Saved from Hell, his default destiny. What this actually means, though, is that man should ultimately be saved from himself. That is why some of these religions even say that you must give away your very own soul! Any religion that purports this kind of teaching is a serious stumbling block to the true deliverance of mankind – the deliverance that comes when all things rise only from within as a result of a man's becoming Himself rather than from being delivered from himself.

Most religions are rigorous at trying to get man away from himself. They have even gone to the trouble of introducing the outrageously insane concept of "sin". In absolute terms there are no such things as sin, good, or evil as the world knows these things to be, because God is all things – sin, good and evil included. God has to be, because for God to be God, It has to be everything and not lacking to any degree in anything. So "sinning" is in no way separate from God and thus does not exist in the way that man believes it to. The type of sin that man knows about is purely of the mind – the direct results of a lack of self-acceptance, self-knowledge and self-worth. It is for this very reason that one can over time sear one's own conscience.

The second reason why there is no such thing as sin as the world knows it to be is because the so-called "sinful act" always comes from oneself. Doing exactly as you please is what you should anyway be doing. This is actually to be perfect – to be perfectly you. An animal is perfectly holy (sinless) for it does what is wants to without reservation, hestitation or conscience. Be holy, as the animal is holy! To be or to do anything else is actually a sin!

The Fallacy of the Devil

Since God is everything, it does not make sense to talk in terms of the devil being an entity separate from God, for God is not lacking in anything to any degree - not even in the devil. The devil, like all things, is simply an aspect of God - embodying God's fullness. The devil per sé doesn't even exist at all - only the so-called "fallen angels". As you'll see later, "fallen angels" are nothing but multi-dimensional alien beings, of which mankind is but one branch.

The devil is not Satan. Neither is Satan Lucifer. These three concepts are completely separate. The devil is a figment of the imagination - there to embody all that the mind subjectively assesses for itself to be "evil". Satan is the personification of "individuality", the soul/ego; whilst Lucifer, meaning "Light Bearer" or "Light Bringer" is the "angel" of "Enlightenment"; but more on all this later!

Heaven and Hell

Religions use the notions of "Heaven" and "Hell" to channel desired behavior. God is everything. God is Heaven Itself. God is Hell Itself. So one should not want specifically to go to Heaven and avoid Hell, or what have you. One should desire rather to be Oneself, for this is the very best that one can be. If being Oneself manifests Heaven, then so be it. If it manifests yet another incarnation, then so be it. If it manifests Hell, then again, so be it. For what one manifests is one's understanding of Oneself.

For one does indeed, through one's consciousness, spawn one's surrounds. These surrounds are really mere expressions of Oneself. If you look about yourself in this world, what you are actually looking at are expressions of Yourself. They have to be because it's how your brain has to quickly come to terms with the consciousness that brings forth Yourself as the world; and that consciousness is of course your consciousness. Any failure on the part of the brain to do so would result in certain catastrophic madness! It is in this way that you came to this world in the first place, and how the world about you, relentlessly comes to you. In the way that you automatically entered this world, so to will you enter the next; for one Lives only once (potentially) across many lifetimes, and sub-lifetimes with lifetimes. There is no break from one life to the next - only a slow Death as the experiences of lower worlds are successively exhausted, resulting in what is [logically] appreciated to be an upward journey [of the soul].

Acceptance of the present moment (God) is expressly the meaning of both Heaven and Hell. It is for this reason that, in absolute terms, Heaven and Hell are indistinguishable. Emotionally though, they are the embodiments of opposing emotions, and thus found to be the extremities of the astral body – one's emotional aspect.

To be content with the present moment and its offerings, to take all things from the hand of God as and when meted out, whatever they may be, is to know God in a certain way. If that certain way is pure emotion, then one can be said to hold the keys to Heaven/Hell. For one will continuously be found as Heaven/Hell if one takes whatever comes from the hand of God as pure emotion. One will be found [as such] in exact proportion to one's thirst for emotion – nothing more, nothing less. But man's destiny is anyway not Heaven/Hell, for this is only pure emotion - the astral body. One must give up the astral body, and indeed all else, to achieve Nirvana - the absence of desire/Consciousness. Only then is nothing expressed. One is Transcendent - beyond pain and bliss, beyond everything - even Consciousness (God) Itself.

But for now, here on earth, man's one and only home should be total acceptance of whatever comes out of and as the present moment, because, for man, the present moment is the only Reality, and thus the meaning of God Itself. Greater than the acceptance of the present moment though, is simply to Be – that is, to be Oneself, whatever Oneself may be. Notice though, that all things, Consciousness (Self/God) included, are but illusions, since they detract from one's Purest Essence, Transcendence. Transcendence is the destination of all things. It is the actual Truth behind everything/illusion.

Spirituality

Spirituality is the process of Self-attainment. It is of all the aspects/bodies of man and is discovered and experienced first-hand within and as the various Spiritual Realities. Spirituality can however become somewhat religious when dogma is introduced. Spirituality should be an open-ended embracement of all consciousness, and not restricted only to the consciousness that manifests the spiritual worlds known of only in mainstream spirituality. To be truly spiritual then, is really to be truly conscious. This is to be truly Self/God.

True spirituality undertakes to view all life simply "as it is", without trying to fool oneself into some or other belief system. This is to see life for what it really is – a manifestation of consciousness, which is, in turn, a skewed expression of Oneself, Transcendence. Being truly spiritual requires an opening of the mind to that which is - where the envelope of Mind, the Cosmos, is continuously being pushed beyond its limit through the employment of the various centers of consciousness that comprise a man (his personality). Spirituality is therefore the act of being consciously aware of all things.

The consciousness that is Self/God is all encompassing and thus fully defined by even the lowliest creature. Everything is God. We too each fully define God, for God is not lacking in anything to any degree, not even in you or in me! It is one of the lesser goals of spirituality to discover and to know this Truth - the Truth that one is God.

Next, we need to discover that God is but Pure Consciousness. Consciousness is really Desire, for all things (illusions) stem from It. Consciousness/God Itself is thus the Greatest Illusion, for It is the Bringer of the worlds.

However, it is the primary goal of spirituality to realize that one's true self is that which Transcends [even] Consciousness/God Itself. That which Transcends All is Desirelessness. It is Nirvana - the actual Truth behind everything/illusion. Nirvana truly is the "destiny" of Oneself for the illusions of Oneself as all things have to eventually be overcome by the prevailing Truth that is Oneself - that is Nirvana.

Creation is illusion and death the destruction of illusion. Where there is creation/illusion, destruction/truth must follow it to crush it - to purge it. This is why one is first born and then dies - not the other way around; for death crushes (snuffs out) the illusion that was the life. Positively will all things continue to die across each their soul journeys until eventually all desire is gone (the soul itself dies) - where there is no soul - no longer individuality to break away from Transcendence. This is why all things die. This why death is a certainty. For the Truth has to prevail! Higher planes of existence can only be achieved through giving up the illusions of what one thought one was. One is only Oneself once all illusion has passed away - once there is no desire to be what one is not.

Personal Discovery

Spirituality should not at all be taught. Rather, it is a collection of discoveries personally made by the individual. Living life, for example, is in itself the single greatest spiritual undertaking of an incarnation. This is after all why we are all here (living) in the first place - for we are all indeed here, are we not?

Trying to run from one's incarnation and to be "all spiritual" is positively not the way to go! We are here to indulge in each our respective incarnations. So indulge we must! Our incarnations, the expression of consciousness, give form/illusion to our Void/Truth (Transcendence). When one is Truly Spiritual, there is nothing; for there can never be anything outside Oneself. We are Formless and came here to present the Cosmos as each Our forms, in order to construct (as this world) and attain to (as life) an understanding of Ourselves (Self/God). We should anyway not at all be spiritual for we have incarnated to experience the illusion of the flesh and the Error that is this world. Incarnations will cease in the moment once this Error is known and the Truth embraced. That Truth is Oneself, Transcendence.

Death will save us all, for it breaks the illusion that is this world. For Truth to be Truth, It has to affect everything equally. The more truthful something, the more beings it affects and the more equally it affects them. Destruction, of which death is an aspect, is common to all, and so It is Truth.

Although many people wise up to the foolishness of religion and become spiritual, many still turn to others for teaching, guidance, and even "spiritual" dogma. And so certain things are simply learnt instead of discovered firsthand. I am, for example, against meditative procedures that insist that one visualize this or that. Visualizations should be mere examples of perhaps the kinds of things one should be visualizing in order to get the brain into some or other kind of vibrational state in order to trigger an appropriate Spiritual Reality. So if a spiritual book teaches this or that, don't worry too much about what is being said. Concentrate rather on why it's being said in the first place. For example, if a book discusses the existence of seven primary centers of consciousness, and that one is this and the other that, don't worry too much about the details. Get the point that, according to that particular author there are these centers of consciousness, and on that basis, try and discover for yourself the reality of it all. No one has to tell a child that it has two arms and how to stretch those arms out to break its fall. No one needs to explain to a toddler the acrobatics involved in breaking its fall. Likewise no one has to tell you that you have Ethereal wings. Discover it first hand - in your own way, in your own time, in your own chosen incarnation - just as I have in this particular incarnation. If you cannot discover your wings during this lifetime then, I assure you, somewhere along the line you will! Don't rush it. Don't be anxious - Breathe! Discover it first-hand. If you fail, then perhaps, at this time, it's not for you. So be it. Discover rather what is for you. Remember, you are God [incarnate]. The Spiritual Kingdoms are endless in the ways in which we can manifest them.

To think in terms of conventional spirituality only reduces spirituality to religion where something is taught and simply followed by others. In light of this then, do not blindly follow this book. Follow only your heart, for it alone knows the way forward. We are each on a Highway in different lanes but moving in the same direction. This book thus serves only as a reference text/beacon and as a testament to my own [personal] spiritual awakening. Being Self/God aware is all-important. You must find your own personal way to Self/God; for this is being true to the Truth within yourself. Positively, this is the correct Way forward. Fortunately, though, for all beings, whatever path they are on during their lifetimes, since death destroys illusion, it always pushes the one whom it delivers, the correct way forward.

It is however somewhat meaningless to talk in terms of a correct path, for the path that all tread is the path of God. All tread perfectly, for the illusion created out of those treading in the "wrong" direction is still the required "yin" to create the "yang" of the "Yin-Yang" that is Truth. Indeed the path of everything is the path of God, since God is everything! As one treads, this is God! So then observe the lowly beetle! It is Itself and listens to no one. It is the Cosmos and is plainly the meaning of God.

The Pointlessness of Discipleship

The entire point to spirituality is to become Oneself. It is not possible to learn from another how to do this because only you are Yourself and you can only learn from Yourself through the various experiences that life brings to you as expressions of Yourself. So no one can guide or council you other than Yourself. It is therefore paradoxical to talk in terms of a spiritual disciple and teacher.

Learning is predominantly an act of the brain. Even those that "learn" through other faculties are merely exercising other centers of consciousness. In the way that you automatically came to this world, so too will you become Yourself in your own way, by your own means, and in your own time. This cannot be learnt; neither should it. Becoming Oneself is a natural process – even more so than breathing. Having the idea that spirituality can be learnt, only blocks you from your True Self, which is attained only through simply being Yourself. Ironically though, making the mistake of "learning" spirituality would still be a necessary "growing pain" as one learns what not to do, and so might not actually be such a bad idea after all!

It is the Master who is Himself. All things come into being, are sustained, transformed, and then destroyed* through sheer will alone. Every being is God incarnate. Every being is a corrupt expression of Nirvana warped into that which is perceived, considered and judged to not be Nirvana. Transcedance, at this very moment, expresses Itself as the moment. Oneself already is Truth, Trancedence, but perceived as the world about. Positively, the world is altogether perfect; we see ill for we desire to see it as such. We see the concrete world. We move about within it - trapped in the illusion that we have created for ourselves, for we desire this, an incarnation! But Masters we all are! All we need do is to recognize not only the error of our ways but also the persistent Truth that underlies all error. Recognizing these not only gets us to see God, to be God, but for us to see Ourselves as the Transcendent Formless Truth behind all illusion/manifestion.

* Contrary to conventional science, energy can indeed be both created and destroyed through the action on Consciousness of Will, the Creator. Energy is created when Consciousness is concentrated/gathered (warped/organized) and destroyed when it is perfectly uniform.

“Self” - Consciousness

In spiritual zest, many fall into the trap of seeking to attain to some or other "Consciousness" or "Principle", such as "Christ Consciousness" or the "Christ Principle"; or to regard some entity as their Master or the Teacher of the world, solar system, Cosmos or what have you. The goal of man is to be Self-conscious – not Christ-conscious, Buddha-conscious, or even God-conscious for that matter. The consciousness that defines the Christ is just that – the consciousness that defines the Christ. That consciousness is not trying to attain to some other consciousness. Christ attains to Christ. Christ is not trying to be Buddha and Buddha Christ. Likewise, you need to be true to your own identity and attain only to that identity. For that [identity] is Self/God. To do otherwise has no meaning, for each individual is the center of his or her own Universe. This is expressly the meaning of God; for it is in this exact way that God realized Itself [into existence] in the first place - for your concept of God exists only in your mind. The notion of God and the notion of yourself are one - for both refer to Consciousness - your consciousness. So don't try and be like Christ. Don't try and be like Buddha. Strive only to be like Yourself! To do otherwise is indeed to deny Self/God!

The purpose of spirituality is indeed to become Oneself! Entertaining anything else is illusion and seeks only to reinforce the false notion of "individuality", where one, in error, regards oneself as an individual being, separate from all else. Furthermore, having relations with spirit guides, angels and demons (aliens), and even man's mentally constructed notions of "God" is certainly not the way to go. The Truth is that all that there is, is Self/God – an expression, through Will, of your True Essence, Transcendence. Be that expression and the Bringer of that expression. Don't be sidetracked into the illusions that are the worlds.

Bear in mind though that all forms of identity, Self/God included, must be given up in order to Transcend all things (even consciousness Itself) in order to realize what you have always been - Nirvana.
