Life Matters by E.C.Nemeth (best e book reader TXT) 📖

by police with guns, as they mete out their prejudiced sentences to the poor in their sneakers and clothes off the racks from discount stores.
Since it is seen that the criminals, the heroes, are a threat to society they must be detained and segregated from society. By making the life of the hero a confusion of fines and court proceedings and jail time society ensures that there will never be a chance for them to organize and start a grass-roots movement for positive change, counter-revolution or insurgency.
Consider: in our modern democracies, only about 60% of eligible voters actually vote in national elections and a far smaller percentage vote in local elections. Why? Because the people know that it really makes no difference. The rich and elite always rule and their heavy handed approach, taking the high road as if they have a right to it, causes apathy in the general population. This is another calculated tactic. Who does vote? The sheep and the naive vote, yes, but also the ones who have something to gain. The ones that don’t vote, but are the force for change, are thus not represented by their leaders. Laws ensure the perpetuation of the status quo. In other words, our democratic systems of governing target the forces for change and marginalizes their input. In this way our leaders make sure that their lofty positions are never in jeopardy and guarantees that the rich will always get richer.
Hidden underneath the intricate and convoluted half truths of our societies is the fact that democracies are nothing more than the combination of several mutually moderating dictatorships sharing the riches of the land. The only question during elections is which dictator will rule next.
Enough said.
Lucky miracle
We can now tie these seemingly unrelated ideas together with the final permutation on the line of faith: luck. The term luck, as used here, is just what it implies. It can be good luck or bad luck or lady luck or no luck at all. The only criteria of luck is faith. If you believe in good luck, good luck is what you'll have. If you believe you have bad luck, bad luck is what you'll get. The mechanism is simple because as we progress along the levels of the chart the truth becomes more evident and harder to ignore. And the truth is always simple. The connection between faith and luck reaffirms the primary idea that: YOU CREATE YOUR REALITY.
Many think that Luck has another component, namely, that luck is capricious, fleeting and likely to change. If looked at correctly this is a beautiful example of our own distractible natures. We are capricious in our perceptions and fleeting in awareness and likely to change our minds at the drop of a hat! Luck does not change, our perceptions do. Luck can only offer the maximum good that benefits all. However, how that is interpreted by the perceiver depends upon the world the perceiver sees (believes in).
The most difficult part of this entire philosophy is the experiential threshold that must be crossed here in order to gain comprehension of this level. Thresholds have been purposely de-emphasized in this work in order to facilitate the experience of threshold shift in the reader. Thresholds are much more than merely moving from one level of truth to another, which is represented in the chart as the vertical movement, upward or downward, along the lines of truth. Horizontal movement, from one arena of truth to another, along the columns of the chart requires actual accumulation of experience. To progress from one arena of truth to another requires a shift in awareness brought on by a certain threshold of gained experience.
One must first become aware of what their personal beliefs are and how that relates to their perception of luck. Next, one must come to realize the connection between beliefs and perception. Threshold shift can only occur when it is understood that belief forms perception. The causal link between belief and perception must be accepted before further progress can be made. All the lessons of lack and pain, misery and suffering, illness and death stem from the confusion that our lots in life are ultimately beyond our control. It is a cherished and honored belief and the foundation of many religions that we are at the mercy of the fates. We resist any attempt at breaching the security of this notion because it underlies and supports our belief in our right to judge the circumstances we find ourselves in. Lastly, we must realize and accept that we presently have no reliable criteria on which to make judgments of any kind.
To ease the transition a number of secondary connections need to be made as well. They need not be listed here because they have been covered on our journey along the chart as offered in the text of the preceding chapters.
The concept of neutrality is a tool to further facilitate the transition to the next threshold. Without personal authority, it seems as though our reality is rudderless, even impossible to maintain. Neutrality allows the pursuit of non-judgment in terms of a new foundation, not requiring a belief in self-concept. The self is not a concept and so does not need interpretation, decision, or action. The self is fact. The self is complete. Nothing need be added to the self, for any reason. Therefore, the self is not a concept to be explained but a context in which to live.
There is only One Self, shared by all. The proof of this idea has been put forward in many different ways throughout this book but the primary reason for this conclusion is that God must be contextual, both personal and inter-personal, and inclusive of all creation. Neutrality is a function of the saved, the risen, the born again. To relinquish judgment in all its forms is to acknowledge the chain of creation as it is and restore the proper order of authorship. We did not create ourselves, thank God, and so we are free of our self concepts, which are an error in authorship. The Author of Creation is God and we are the embodiment of that authorship. Likewise, our creations attest to our authorship, but not to our own creation. We did not create ourselves and so we cannot judge.
What we are and what our reality is, is far different than we can presently conceive of only because we wish things were different. But wishing does not make it so, unless the wish is in line with the one true will of all creation. It is the belief that the individual has a will opposed to that of the Creator that has lead to a literal, but still only delusional, war against the self. It is this seeming conflict that prevents the perception of the truth. This is because it is the illusion of conflict that we see, not the truth of peace.
Wake up call
So far in our discussions we are at the cross of fauna and faith: freedom. Freedom was defined as the freedom from effects without a cause. The next chapter will consider, among other things, the cross of faith and intuition: consciousness. For now, suffice it to say that intuition is a communication channel. It can be tuned into like a radio station. To be tuned into it is to be attuned to the truth in the arena of consciousness. Although we made consciousness in response to our belief in personal authorship, in terms of intuition it still reflects our forgotten knowledge. Remember: truth is true, no matter what we believe. Therefore, if we are in error, there must be a bridge to truth. That’s just simple logic, although applied to an insane premise.
It seems as though we have a choice, then. We can either believe this new premise or not. But no, not really. You see, we are already two thresholds into the hunt for truth and the only way open to us is forward. There is no turning back. In the final chapter the reason for this will be discussed in detail, for now let us say that the moment of the decision to search for truth is the same moment that it is accomplished.
You cannot go back. Your decision is binding. Being in line with the will of all creation, your original decision precludes it. How can you search for truth if you don’t search for truth?
This is the threshold met head on. You, dear friend, are chosen. Heaven itself leans toward your edification. Angels and other beings of light have long ago rushed to your aid. They swirl around you as you read these words, ministering to you, making your way easier and swifter. You must have FAITH.
You must believe in the forces at work beyond your present comprehension, and have faith that they will not remain beyond your perception for much longer. You are not asked to remake your self, only to allow what you are to express itself through you. Although you are asked at first to stay out of your own way, heaven itself waits with bated breath your eventual direct and joyful participation in the expression of your personal truth.
You must let go of your cherished arrogance, it merely reveals your present ignorance. The world is in dire need of your transformation. Forgive the world your transgressions, and be done with it. This is your time! Use it.
Witness to faith
We are so busy with perception and the judging of personal circumstances and events that we have effectively shut down our link to cosmic information. Still, many individuals credited with pioneering discoveries in all areas of endeavor often claim that their ideas came at a moment of relaxation, when the topic at hand was momentarily placed aside. They also often describe the moment of inspiration as having come to them in a rush as a complete picture that they intuitively comprehended but would then take hours, sometimes days to understand in normal human terms.
This sudden inspiration is the cosmic link. It is an intuitive connection in that it cannot be recognized directly. It cannot be recognized directly because the individual’s worldview disallows its existence. But we must all access this universal information in order to know how to manipulate what we see. It’s like when you wake up and scream at the hand hovering inches above your face, before you realize the hand is really yours. We honestly believe we don’t know about this link to truth, yet there it is and we have to use it because it is the foundation of reality, no matter what we willfully decide to believe.
We are an enigma, to be sure. We see a twisting, narrow, slippery road back to truth and as we wind our way back up the treacherous trail, any sudden misstep seems as though it could have disastrous effects. Yet can illusions have effects? And can the road to truth even exist - in truth? How could the truth support a road to illusions? And if there is a road to truth, wouldn’t it necessarily seem filled with potholes? How else could you be detained from where you really are except by self imposed pitfalls?
Intuition, gut level instinct, sudden inspiration, the light bulb moment, synchronicity, are all expressing an idea that cannot be, but is. This is how we bridge the gap of ignorance comfortably, without having to be aware of the truth directly. We might even believe that we can practice and learn to exert a certain amount of control over these tenuous forces. But the force is always seen as requiring focused effort to control and most often as external to the individual. This is the manifestation of the barrier that has been erected to hide the truth in one of its most basic
