Hunger and Appetite Rule in Times of Material Darkness. and are The Cause of The Darkness.

Dog Poet Transmitting…….

For many years I was caught up in a state of perpetual confusion because I COULD NOT fit into this world, and for being in an entirely different spin cycle than what was taking place around me. Spiritual experiences, beyond a certain level of dramatic impact, can throw one into such an orbit that nothing seems real EVER again; mind that none of it was real to begin with.

What I’ve been through and where I am now are not important. You can quickly forget the roads taken, once the force of the place arrived at, takes hold. I don’t bring myself up except for one reason. We seldom understand why severe and brutal events are necessary in our lives. The result of them in my life was to extinguish all sense of personal self. This culminated in the kundalini awakening that I experienced, and in which all remaining sense of self was sucked out of me. It was as if no one was present. I saw it as a net positive so it did not frighten me. That alone defines me as crazy to the eyes of The World, which only exists because of Desire

This might well send any normal (although Normal is hard to find or define these days) person insane with no return ticket. Fortunately for me, I had so little sense of self, it was probably like having your appendix removed. I hardly noticed it, except for a sense of being unburdened. Our false sense of self that expresses in the resident personality, has an actual weight to it. In some cases, it might be lighter, but in many cases, it can be significant, especially in ego-driven cultures, such as those of the present, which runaway Materialism has wrought.

In the process of things experienced, one feature stands out above all the rest, and that is The Mirroring Effect. The World is a mirror in which you see yourself but NEVER see yourself.

I am obliged to include personal details in this posting in order to describe the way it came about for me to experience this mirroring effect, as a constant feature in the way life explains itself to me. I am not telling you about anything new. Others have known about this since before the recorded history of this present go-round. Explaining this is the real trick. It is a very hard thing to explain, and remarkably simple to employ. The difficulty in transmitting an understanding of this subject is due to it having to be VISCERAL. No amount of intellectual speculation will suffice.

External life IS a mirror that you cast a reflection upon, just as it throws the reflection back at you. Some may think other people are hard to read. They are not. When there is no you in the picture, you can see the picture clearly, without your own sense of self causing a disturbance in perception. Now… how can I speak of a You that is seeing when there is no you to be seeing? It makes perfect sense to me but explaining it…? That is the problem. Because it is so difficult to explain, and because most people have no idea of this existing in the first place, one is probably better advised to simply know it and keep it to oneself.

It seems a given to me now, that MOST PEOPLE see themselves in others, and project themselves and their shortcomings, and errors in judgment out upon others. They read their own motives into the motives of others, where they may not even exist, and certainly not in the same manner. People tell themselves that THIS is what the other person is doing BECAUSE that IS what they would be doing in their place.

Knowing that people are talking about themselves when they are talking about you is an incredible assistance to your peace of mind. You are not required to defend yourself against others seeing themselves in you. You are only meant to RECOGNIZE it happening, AND… if you are astute, there are things you can do about it. Anyone with any degree of wisdom, who is on the side of the angels, KNOWS that the job of realized humanity is to reflect the light of God out into the world. Otherwise, you are reflecting the bad character traits of others in an endless war for supremacy that is fought on the playing fields of the ego.

Some people with overdeveloped egos are also without any talents or justifications for an ego of any size. This burns them up, especially when they see others able to do what they cannot, or who have a palpable humility about the matter. They KNOW they would not have such humility. It would be a hindrance in the acquisition of what they are after. Everyone is telling you who and what they are in everything they do. If you are NOT driven by similar passions, if your mind is NOT constantly plotting for profit, and scheming after personal gain, there is no way for others to be in contention with you, because you don’t want any of what they are after. They can’t understand this. Surely everyone would do as they are doing. It is what they see everywhere round them, and that is because they relentlessly and consistently project their own motives and ambitions on-to everyone else. It is all they see.

The Internet has provided us with a new battleground, which very much mirrors what was going on in the heads and hearts of the protagonists already. It has given new fields of enterprise for anonymous snipers and loudmouths with virtual microphones. Want to impress the audience with your passion? Type in ALL CAPS. There is now a large crowd of individuals who have found a new addiction and a way to prop themselves up in their own minds. They simply attack others, ALL THE TIME.

This cause of so much distress is that there is a part of us that KNOWS we are frightened, powerless, and alone inside, and it lets us know about it… OFTEN. Of course, we are not alone, but we think ourselves to be and what we think manifests our personal reality. There is no such thing as a personal reality, but that does not stop people from thinking it.

When anyone goes off on an original course and sticks to it, they draw outrage from conventional minds who let them know how wrong they think they are. Further on, this original thinker comes upon great personal success. The original course proved out, as it ALWAYS will if you have the right guidance. Now the critic’s corner begins to insist that you cut corners, that you just got lucky (no such thing as luck), that you had influential help (which you well might have had), or whatever they come up with. An even larger body of the public sucks up to you, flatters you, and most definitely wants something from you.

All of one’s seeming good fortune comes from mirroring The Indwelling. Why project yourself on others? Why not let God project himself, by not hindering the flow of God’s qualities through you? Of course, this means you can’t be out for yourself anymore. There never was anyone home anyway. What you had were squatters who took over your residence and evicted you. Mirror The Divine and you will shine on one and all. You will be useful. You will be a help to others; if that sort of thing interests you.

People with personality problems, and perpetual insecurities will be glad to tell you what you are doing wrong, that you have no authority to say what you say, that your motives are what they have projected on you, or because they know what a fraud they would be if they pretended to be something they are not, BUT… it doesn’t work like that, and this is what leaves them terminally confused. They just don’t understand and you can’t tell them either, because they won’t listen. Why won’t they listen? They won’t listen because they already know. Yes… they already know, and they are not shy about telling you.

So many people do not see the point of selfless service with no thought of personal profit. “There’s got to be an angle.” This is what they say because that is how they are. I know I am nothing and anything I have been was only a temporary mirage, in whatever lifetime one impermanent sense of self prevailed over the others, for a short time, BUT… that which LIVES IN ME… that is a whole other story, and that true me is eternal, and it is my ideal. There is nothing remarkable in this, I simply came to understand that EVERYTHING ELSE was a waste of time, and it also HURT. My false identities were the source of my suffering, so I decided not to suffer anymore. I got off of my cross and put down the personal self. Anyone can do this, but many prefer otherwise. They don’t get the point of just giving yourself away. The Sun has that point very well understood, just as the sun shining within us also understands and KNOWS that we will come round eventually, once we are done with Suffering.

Suffering comes about from WANTING. Only the personal self wants. There is a basic insecurity that dwells in everyone so long as they are relying on themselves and not on the one who powers the engine in THE FIRST PLACE. Hunger and appetite rule in Times of Material Darkness, and are the source of the smoke from impure desire that causes the darkness, and conditions of poor visibility. So long as people are captured up in this they can’t see beyond it. It takes a lightning bolt in some form, and once the wreckage settles, whatever there is of permanence remains.

The most fascinating factor for me which I witness in The World is the rapidly accelerating Insanity taking place. As the light of the True Self (The Avatar) shines more powerfully into this world, all the impermanent personalities are driven to irrational extremes. They refuse to go inward, so they must go out, ever further and further out in search of what?

We are facing a perfect storm of madness. Observe the forces of the time converging in the human mind. I’ll say no more for now.
