' Is Death Real ? '... By Yeshua Ben Yosef '...Through John Smallman ...
'
Death is unreal because all life is eternal,, endless,, forever.. by John Smallman .......................................... Humanity is on a roll!.. Your collective awakening is happening right now,, as many of you are engaged in celebrating the anniversary of my birth,, which apparently occurred over two thousand years ago – and yet it was but a moment ago!.. Time is dissolving now into the eternal NOW, as you awaken from an eons long sleep, in which you have experienced dreams and nightmares of separation,, pain,, and wide-spread and pervasive suffering.. You have all collectively decided that you have had enough,, that finally it is time to dismiss and dissolve the game of separation, in which you have been engaged,, and to come back together again as ONE.. You are One,, that has never changed,, it could not and cannot change,, because there is only ONE,, Mother/Father/God,, Source,, LOVE – YOU – each and every ONE of YOU!... Here in the non-physical realms,, where our eternal existence (just like yours) is in our fully conscious awareness of our aliveness in our Oneness,, we are rejoicing as the game is brought to its inevitable conclusion.. It has served its purpose – demonstrating to you all,, the whole human collective,, the total insanity of imagining and maintaining a desire or need to be separate... You now know that all you desire is Oneness,. to be at One and know Yourself once more as you truly and eternally are – the infinite energy field in which ALL reside,, fully ALIVE and in a state of extreme JOY... How could it be otherwise?,, God (or any other word or phrase with which you feel comfortable,, or feel is at the very least acceptable to you) is infinite Love,, Wisdom,, and Serenity at unmitigated peace and contentment with Itself,, YOU – all of You without any exceptions whatsoever – in endless undisturbed satisfaction and contentment... To be in heaven,, to be at home,, is to be fully,, consciously,, and eternally aware of your true nature – One with Source... There is no meaningful conscious awareness other than complete and conscious awareness of Oneness... That is what You are!.. And that is living,, and it is eternally creating more of Itself in totally harmonious and loving cooperation for the infinite delight of All/Source/YOU...The gift of Life is miraculous,, there is no greater gift, ,in fact there is no other gift,, because there is only one gift which is eternal,, endless, ,and everlasting,, it is Life... It is to be One with One,, and yet also endlessly free and capable of experiencing individuality in order to offer to All a new and unique creative experience that the One delights in seeing created for the joy of All... The brilliance of this infinitely expressive creative impulse is established within the One and may be,, and very frequently is,, expressed individually allowing All,, as One,, and as individuals to be in wonder at the beauty that it presents... Every creative expression is eternally established for all,, and is available for All to enjoy forever... As humans you often use the word ‘forever,’, but truly,, while you are experiencing limitation because of your enclosure in forms,, that word is meaningless,, because everything material eventually decays,, returning to its original pre-big-bang state of non physical existence,, and is no longer available to you,, even though its energy is forever!... As I,, and many other wise and loving beings have so often told you:.. you are,, each and every one of you,, infinite divine beings, at One with one another – although that does not appear to be the case – and with the Source,, All That Is.. Why?, Because that is ALL.. Whoever you may believe yourself/yourselves to be,, as you limit yourselves in form,, is absolutely NOT who You are!.. Yes,, you have forgotten who you are,, that is what unreality,, the dream or nightmare was all about,, and now is the moment of release from that unreal and often completely terrifying experience... You chose the unreal in order to more fully and utterly appreciate and delight in Reality,, Oneness,, inseparability from All,, and only by believing in the experience of separation could you really know what separation – were it even remotely possible,, which it is NOT – would do to you... It would terminate you finally without a trace after your physical form could no longer support the eternal energy of Source that enlivened it... And to experience that as a belief is terrifying,, because,, however intensely you may deny it,, you most definitely do not want to die... And yet death is all around you while you remain in form,, constantly reminding you of its inevitability.. I am therefore very happy to remind you once again that there is NO death.. Death is unreal, because all life is eternal,, endless,, forever... There is only One,, but to fully experience Itself, It needs a contrast,, and infinite contrasts are available within the infinite creative abilities with which It has endowed Itself... Although the form in which it is experienced can and does change as creative choices are made for the wonder and joy that they can offer the myriad individuals delighting in that sense of individuality... Your awakening is to return to that state of knowing in which,, as the One,, you can also enjoy the sense of creative individuality that offers limitless opportunities for harmonious cooperation with Oneself as you create ever increasing and endless Joy... Life is Joy,, so go within daily to your holy inner sanctuaries and remind yourselves of the truth of this as Love floods your open hearts,,, flows through them,, and out beyond them into the ever expanding field of the infinite that is One,, that is You,, that is Love,, and that is awakening........... Your loving brother, Jesus.

' Samsara '...
"Whatever we see, whatever we understand, is nothing but ignorance.
This is because when this understanding arises, it creates mind, and the mind becomes I am.
I am needs to understand something and act.
This activity from I am. is misunderstanding,. because consciousness cannot be understood,. perceived,. or conceived..
It has no other observer..
It is self-effulgent,, omnipresent,, omniscient..
Who could be the observer?"..
"Understanding has objectified it,, and it has become subjective self..
Being subject,, it needs to create..
This creation is the result of ignorance..
In this ignorance,, whatever you understand,, conceive,, or perceive, if just ignorance."..
"The creation vanishes in an instant,, just as it arises..
I, is the mind,, and objects are the universe..
Utter 'I', and there is the universe - past,, present,, future - and endless repetition...
This is samsara."

' Me'... never existed '...
In this moment – for you, right now –
there is a clear
light of awareness in which everything is appearing.
It is what you are..
You are that!.. It is free,, totally

Christ said,, 'I am the
light of the world'..
You,, as that awareness,, can say
the same thing..
Separation from that is a total illusion..
It never happened,, except in imagination..
It is based
on a 'me' that never existed..
It is just a wrong idea................

God doesn't capriciously move substance from God's supply "up there" to fill your needs "down here.." Nor does God answer prayer in some kind of coming forth.. God is always present,, totally present - as a Presence.

' Love cannot be Destroyed '...
Love is within us.. It cannot be destroyed.. It can be ignored.. To the extent that we abandon love, we will feel it has abandoned us..
Denying love is our only problem,, and embracing it is the only answer..
Through the power of love,, we can let go of past history and begin again..
Love heals,, forgives,, and makes whole.,

' Yin and Yang '...
The practice of Onmyōdō has a contentious history in Japan and,, for reasons that will become clear,, was outlawed for some time along with its close cousin,, Shugendō (修験道).. Onmyōdō,, means literally,, ‘the way of the Yin and Yang’.. In the 5th/6th centuries,, the principles of Yin-Yang, and the use of five elements were transmitted to Japan from China along with Buddhism and Confucianism.. These esoteric practices combined with local religions, to create what came to be called Onmyōdō.. By the 10th century, its practice had been well established.. But by the 19th century, it had been made illegal to practice..............
' The Great Awakening '...
By and by comes the Great Awakening,, and then we find out that this life is really a great dream.. Fools think they are awake now,, and flatter themselves they know if they are really princes or peasants.. Confucius and you are both dreams;, and I, who say you are dreams,,—I am but a dream myself.. This is a paradox.. To-morrow, a sage may arise to explain it;, but that tomorrow, will not be until ten thousand generations have gone by.............Zhuang Zhou (Zhuangzi)
' Musings of a Chinese Mystic '...
Musings of a Chinese Mystic is a collection of philosophical reflections attributed to Zhuang Zhou (Zhuangzi), an influential Taoist philosopher. The text delves into the nature of reality, the limitations of human knowledge, and the fluidity of identity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The work emphasizes the ineffable and transcendental nature of Tao (the Way), which lies beyond material existence and human comprehension. Themes include the impermanence of life and death, the importance of aligning with the natural order, and the futility of imposing rigid structures on the ever-changing world.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The text also explores the concept of ultimate harmony, where true wisdom involves embracing the unknown and finding peace in the natural flow of life. By promoting a detached, intuitive approach to existence, Chuang Tzŭ’s musings encourage a profound understanding of the self and the universe.................Zhuang Zhou .... from Sacredarchive.com

' What is Mysticism? '...
To many modern Christians,, words like "meditation," "mystic," and "mysticism" bring to mind Eastern religions,, not Christianity.. Certainly Eastern religions are known for their mysticism;, however,, mysticism is not only a vital part of the Christian heritage as well,, but it is actually the core of Christian spirituality.. Mysticism simply means the spirituality of the direct experience of God.. It is the adventure of "the wild things of God.",,,
----------------------------------------------
The direct experience of God is a kind of knowing,, which goes beyond intellectual understanding.. It is not a matter of "belief.".. It is marked by love and joy,, but it is not "emotional experience..." In many ways,, it is better described by what it is not.. To describe what it is,, we must use metaphors—the marriage of the soul to Christ,, the death of the "old man" and birth of the "new man,",, being the "body of Christ."..
-------------------------------------------------
Jesus proclaimed "I and the Father are one,," (Jn. 10.30) showing the world what the union of God and man can be.. Christian mysticism is about nothing else but this transforming union.
----------------------------------------------------------
Christ is the sole end of Christian mysticism.. Whereas all Christians have Christ,, call on Christ,, and can (or should) know Christ,, the goal for the Christian mystic is to become Christ—to become as fully permeated with God as Christ is,, thus becoming like him,, fully human,, and by the grace of God,, also fully divine.. In Christian teaching this doctrine is known by various names—theosis,, divinization,, deification,, and transforming union...
--------------------------------------
A common misconception about mysticism is that it's about "mystical experiences,",, and there are many volumes on such experiences in religious literature... But true mysticism is not focussed on "experiences" (which come and go),, but with the lasting experience of God,, leading to the transformation of the believer into union with God...

' What are We Seeking? '...
You may say that you are seeking Knowledge,, but, you are really seeking Happiness.. Happiness is a personal experience.. Happiness is also an ego experience.. Happiness is also a spiritual experience.. So, you have to ask yourself,, What is Happiness and why do I seek it?.. Happiness is non- pain,, Happiness is non-ego,, Happiness is Love,, Happiness is Truth.. This is a natural path that many have traveled before you.. these humans are well known to you.. Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Zoroaster, Francis of Assisi, and so on... These others have also sought Happiness.. you are no different.. you must walk the same path as these others.. The secret that these other souls have learned is that, to achieve Freedom and Happiness, is to throw away that which you believe is most valuable.. "The last shall be first".. This most valuable is "you".. If you understand this deeper meaning,, then,, this will be your last journey, and You will return to Happiness..................... thomas
' Ram Tzu Speaks '...
Most of what
You call love
Is just business..
------------
You demand
Sufficient return
On your investment
Or you go elsewhere..
-------------
No one likes to
Suffer a loss..
-----------------
After all,,
If you don't manage
Your portfolio,
Who will?..
-----------------
It's not the sort of thing
You want to leave to chance..
---------------
Problem is,
You're always in fear,
You're always hedging..
-------------
Ram Tzu knows this...
--------------
It's a losing proposition
Trying to keep that
Which you haven't got.

' Thoughts are Important '...
. “A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within,, more than the luster of the firmament of bards and sages.. Yet, he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his.. In every work of genius,, we recognize our own rejected thoughts:. they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.” ............... Ralph Waldo Emerson — Book: The Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson
' The Pain of Boredom '...
If I could prescribe a single rule for looking at a work of art it would be to enjoy it.. If we're honest with ourselves,, we have to admit we enjoy our tears, just as much as we enjoy our laughter.. The only moments of life that are a bore, are when we don't care one way or another.

' The Divine Truth '...
When love has carried us above all things ... we receive in peace the Incomprehensible Light,, enfolding us and penetrating us..

thomas ... said........
I agree with John,, as I have had the exact same experience within the Light and Love Energy,, and communicated by Thought to a Higher Knowledge within this Light .... the first time entering Reality was difficult because the ego told me not to go further,, as death was painful ... I told the negative voice of this hologram,, that Knowledge of Truth is worth the death of the Ego... and then, A Hurricane of Love knocked me to the ground and I fell through Darkness and into the Light and Love of Divine Consciousness...... thomas

' Preconceived Ideas '...
We never get upset over what happens.. Never.. We get upset because of preconceived ideas as to what we think should happen,, what we want to happen.. When our preference clashes with the reality,, we get hurt.. Rid yourself of all preconceived ideas as to what should happen.. You are then at peace whatever happens.
........................ Vernon Howard
' Several Kinds of Love '...
There are several kinds of love.. One is a selfish,, mean,, grasping,, egotistical thing,, which uses love for self-importance.. This is the ugly and crippling kind.. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you — of kindness and consideration and respect — not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable.. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but, the second can release in you strength,, and courage, and goodness, and even wisdom you didn’t know you had.
.................... John Steinbeck
