Overcoming duality

Problem 1: Small powerful group/s (illuminati,...) manipulating reality for the benefit of the few at the top of the pyramid.
This group uses occult, scientific and criminal means to maintain their power and keep us under control and obedient.
We have been programmed to see anything occult or magical in nature as ridiculous and/or scary.
This makes it difficult to see the truth because our programming makes the truth appear ridiculous, absurd, and/or scary....
This keeps most intelligent, rational people far away from the truth of what is really going on in our world.
If and when one is willing to let go of our socially constructed version of reality and peer down the rabbit hole with a very open mind they will be able to decipher many elements of the truth.
However because this truth is purposely being obscured with disinformation it is nearly impossible for anyone to have a complete, concise, clear perception.

Problem 2: New Age BS

One of the most important areas of dis-information is in the “New Age Movement” .
This is a huge problem because the new age movement actually holds the key to our exiting the duality paradigm.

As stated above, the TPTB use occult power as a means to maintain their power and control over us. And they spend a lot of energy (mainly through the education i.e. brainwashing-system) making the masses think that magic is nonsense....something to be given up with the end of childhood)

Some people however are naturally drawn towards magic and mysticism and for these people the “New Age Movement” has been created. The “New Age Movement” is like a neutered version of spirituality. A lot of New Age practices can make one feel good, feel like we are participating in something profound without actually enabling true deep transformation. People are taught to focus on light and love and reject anything dark...this is THE MAJOR PROBLEM and what makes the movement completely ineffective.

I believe the key to real transformation lies in exploring and re-claiming our darkness.
From childhood we are taught to reject aspects of ourselves that society teaches us to perceive as negative. This creates an internal state of division...WHICH ACTS TO RE-INFORCE THE EXTERNAL STATE OF DIVISION (which of course is the goal of TPTB)! This is the real BIG SECRET that they want to keep from us...the real key to transforming our outer world is to transform our inner worlds. AND THE KEY TO THIS IS LOVE...ok now there may be some eye rolling now (which is the programmed response). Any self-respecting rational person will see this as just more new age jargon, but this is exactly what TPTB want...they want the baby to be thrown out with the bathwater.

They don’t want us to know that we are each fragments of the whole...and like fractals each contain ALL the elements of the whole.

I feel that the real secret that is being withheld from us is the fact that the key to our evolution is well and truly within, but the way to reach it is that we need to integrate all our inner aspects, including the depths of our darkness. Without the integration of our darkness we can never truly become whole, and we will always be able to be controlled by fear.

Meanwhile much of popular New Age info, channelling etc, promotes a focus on the Light, even promoting the idea of a battle between the Light and Dark. This creates the perfect situation for the PTB by keeping those interested in spirituality (those playing in the arena where true power lies) in a virtual innocuous fantasy, often completely avoiding the very place their true power is hidden. The potentially powerful spiritual process, becomes ultimately fruitless, and impotent when we deny the dark. Metaphorically speaking, the key is hidden in the ****.

The PTB know that repressed fear is the most useful for control, for outside of our consciousness it becomes an unknown, a haunting anxiety that keeps us small. Once we fully explore our inner selves, and process and understand our own darkness, then we truly become free, as we are no longer trapped in the game, rather it is as though we can see it from above. The PTB’s role is to perpetuate a sense of helplessness, fear and division. Our role is to rediscover our power, love and ultimately unity.

The ultimate threat to the PTB is if everyone began to look inside and discovered the truth within. I believe this to be the only way we can free ourselves. If everyone learned to connect with their wholeness within, the tactics used for millennia to control us, would become obsolete. The PTB would simply no longer serve a purpose, and we could begin playing a new game, one no longer guided by fear and, but by understanding our unity and connection.


The PTB have created a virtual hall of mirrors that keeps us focused on the outside. Of course that is their role in this game/experiment, and they are playing their parts beautifully. But I feel it is now time for us to wake up to ourselves, to reclaim our power and change the nature of this game to one that acknowledges our interconnectedness and the incredible beauty of each individual, planets and universe. It is time to go to the next level, but in order to do this we need to throw of the shackles that keep us mired in distractions.
(excerpt from my blog titled 'The Real Secret' @ mysticalchemyarts.com

Conclusion

ANYTHING that distracts us from looking within and discovering and healing all our inner fractures/ factions is perpetuating the state of the division. Distraction/drama is the ULTIMATE tool of TPTB. So long as we are focused on media circus...alternative or not, they are happy and their plan is succeeding. However this does not mean that we should not try to uncover the truth ‘out there’, we should certainly not be like ostriches with our head in the sand...we need to be awake and aware. BUT what I have found is that if our primary focus is on looking within and discovering inner truth, outer truth seems to naturally reveal itself to us in a way that reflects and enhances our inner discoveries (eg stumbling upon a link that creates a powerful aha moment).

As we put together our inner puzzle, the outer puzzle reflects this process and becomes clearer with each inner step we take. When we look within, we learn that trusting ourselves and our inner process is the most important thing we can do; and when we do this it becomes virtually irrelevant who is a dis-info agent and who isn’t, whether the aliens are good/bad etc...all that just becomes part of the noise...which can be fun or interesting to focus on sometimes...but definitely not the means through which any significant change is to be made.

The further we delve within, the more aware we become aware of the incredible, powerful energy that resides within us all. This energy is so much older, deeper and more powerful than anything the illuminati/ PTB is capable of creating. In fact, one of the tricks of the illuminati is to co-opt symbols associated with this profound energy in order to create the illusion that it is within their control. It is not.

In the last few years we have begun to witness everything reaching a head. The planet has been thoroughly explored and exploited, so much so our survival is at risk; in what we call the economy the divide between the rich and poor has become so extreme a tiny part of humanity is dominating the huge majority; and we have explored science so deeply we are on the verge of uncovering the ‘God’ particle.

But if we realize/remember that below the surface all is love, and this dynamic of a small group dominating the masses etc, is just part of the natural unfolding of dense energies, then we can stop feeling fearful, powerless, angry, and relax and trust that what we are witnessing is simply the play out of the energies of separation. By choosing this viewpoint, we can focus our energy on grounding and spreading love in our world, and we stop feeding the fear paradigm.

This experiment of separation was never intended as a means to create suffering, it was intended to help us learn and to understand ourselves. Most of us here probably can recognise how deep wounds, though painful at the time, actually make us deeper, stronger, and more resilient once they are healed.

Now that these dense energies have been allowed to play themselves out, it is time to make the shift back to our natural state. We have played the out the good and evil dynamic to the fullest. Now it is time to infuse all those parts of ‘ourself’ that we have hidden in the dark, both on an individual and collective level, with incredible love. It is time to take the next evolutionary leap and re-unite in a wholeness that is deeper, wiser and stronger from our journey through separation.

I agree with most of what you've said. Integrating/embracing our dark side and not focusing solely on love and light can bring about balance, wholeness. I like to think I am neither of the dark or the light (here on earth) but playing in the shadows, ready to deal with whatever game comes along. I don't think you can fully experience or understand the ultimate power of love if you reject the dark.

If you are balanced neither demons (dark) or gods (light) can control you because you will not worship the gods and you will not fear the demons. Each person comes to this realization in their own timing and many will not realize this until they experience several lifetimes. Personally I see no need to rush anyone as all will work out just fine. After all, we have eternity and death is an illusion.

You are right that all answers lie within. Thanks for the great post.

Thanks Nancy :) . I certainly agree. The way I see it...In the same way that a plant needs both the rich dark soil and the vibrant light to grow healthy...so do we need both the light and the dark to be healthy, whole and strong.

This is such an important subject, enfolded blue!

Non-duality is a very subtle business.

There is the real and the seemingly real.
The very nature of the seemingly real is the real.

The dark is the seemingly real.
The light is the real.

The seemingly real is the conceptual world in which we live.
The real is our absolute pure nature.

As everything is impermanent, including our ideas, they have no absolute reality.
They are a relative truth.

When we believe that the relative world is real, we have duality: me observing the real, solid world.

When we recognise that the nature of everything is emptiness, and that things never truly existed in the first place, and all there is is empty essence, we arrive at non-duality.

Light shines on a surface and there are no shadows. No darks.
A temporary event occurs, rising from that surface, creating a shadow.

That event, being temporary, will dissolve back in to the surface, and therefore the shadow disappears, revealing that that light is there all the time.
That light is our own, luminous, clear empty essence. Pure...

This is seen in meditation, when thoughts occur. They are temporary events.
That which is aware of these temporary events is the light of non-duality.

It is a very subtle business...

Hi Pieneal,

Thanks for your Zen perspective. It is, in my opinion, an excellent description of the bare-bones of the process. What you are saying reminds me of an analogy I came across as I was journeying within: we humans are like lenses through which light shines. Spots on the lens cause shadows to be projected in our external reality when the light shines through. We come to believe in the reality of these projections...eventually so much so that they can scare us. But when we clear our lenses (rather than trying to fight/ or run from the shadows) we see that there is only light. Is this what you mean?


I agree with this (if I am understanding you correctly). But I also believe that while the bare-bones Zen approach might be the deepest layer of truth, it doesn't mean that we can't play in the more frivolous levels. With all eternity on our hands there is plenty of time to experiment. The way I see it we have created this matrix for just this reason. We have been playing unconsciously for the last millennia, and have spent much time at war with our projected shadows. But now to me it feels like it is time to start playing consciously. By this I mean we realize that rather than being at the mercy of the shadows created by our (unconscious) spots, we can consciously become like artists and use darkness (no longer fear based) to paint our lenses in ways that our projections become beautiful and divinely inspired.

I guess I should add that for me a key factor in this is moving beyond the illusion of separation. The illusion of separation is what allows fear to exist. When we break through and connect deep down inside to that point where we all meet, there is no more other and thus nothing left to fear. Also when we connect with this point we can, at this human level, become unique individual expressions of this deep oneness. Physical existence when re-connected to the whole can be an incredibly rich and profound experience.

BTW I was going to title this thread A Very Fine Balance :)

Interesting subject, thank you. Im sure the Illuminati and those groups
knows nothing about non-duality. So everything is well.

But are you sure: like ostriches with our head in the sand, I mean
are you sure Ostriches bury their heads in the sand? And if you are,
where have you got it from? Being a bad birdwatcher, Im concerned
about wot rumours people spread about birds. LOL

ha ha ha...That's funny!! Ooops you're right I forgot to check my facts....sorry. I too am a bird watcher, but there are no ostriches here in Australia. So you are saying they don't bury their heads in the sand...just a viscious rumour? Thanks for the heads up :P

If i may add, i tend to weigh meanings and then seek balance between

materiality-intelligence ....with.... spirituality-beingness.

Which demanded some effort of exploration, within each.

Otherwise, imbalance takes control.

They dont bury their heads. We only have ostriches in farms in Sweden.
They are big stupid chickens, but there is a limit to their stupidity.

I would like to have these cozy birds over here, so I envy you
these guys. LOL

Hello, enfoldedblue

Thanks for the helpful thread! It made me think of one that was started recently, looking at Neo-Advaita teachings and comparing them to the traditional non-dual teachings of Advaita in the Hindu tradition, and Maha Ati/Dzogchen in Tibetan Buddhism (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?41687-Advaita-and-Neo-Advaita). It was concerned with the seeming imbalance between the two truths as presented in Neo-Advaita: that there is a tendency to dismiss the conventional world as not really existing, which is a denial of the two truths of relative and ultimate.

This was written by the great sage, Sri Aurobindo, in 1932, and refers to what he called the Intermediate Zone - a "dangerous and misleading transitional spiritual and pseudo-spiritual region between the ordinary consciousness of the outer being and True Realisation".

Although written in 1932 as cautionary words for his disciples, they are still extremely relevant to today's world and the issues your raised in the OP.

...These things, when they pour down or come in, present themselves with a great force, a vivid sense of inspiration or illumination, much sensation of light and joy, an impression of widening and power. The sadhak feels himself freed from the normal limits, projected into a wonderful new world of experience, filled and enlarged and exalted;what comes associates itself, besides, with his aspirations, ambitions, notions of spiritual fulfillment and yogic siddhi; it is represented even as itself that realisation and fulfillment. Very easily he is carried away by the splendour and the rush, and thinks that he has realised more than he has truly done, something final or at least something sovereignly true. At this stage the necessary knowledge and experience are usually lacking which would tell him that this is only a very uncertain and mixed beginning; he may not realise at once that he is still in the cosmic Ignorance, not in the cosmic Truth, much less in the Transcendental Truth, and that whatever formative or dynamic idea-truths may have come down into him are partial only and yet further diminished by their presentation to him by a still mixed consciousness. He may fail to realise also that if he rushes to apply what he is realising or receiving as if it were something definitive, he may either fall into confusion and error or else get shut up in some partial formation in which there may be an element of spiritual Truth but it is likely to be outweighted by more dubious mental and vital accretions that deform it altogether.

Thanks for sharing Tarka. I hadn't seen that thread before and indeed it was interesting...though my head hurts a bit now!

Meanwhile much of popular New Age info, channelling etc, promotes a focus on the Light, even promoting the idea of a battle between the Light and Dark. This creates the perfect situation for the PTB by keeping those interested in spirituality (those playing in the arena where true power lies) in a virtual innocuous fantasy, often completely avoiding the very place their true power is hidden.



Not just avoiding, but often actively fighting! It is hard to look at the aspects of ourselves that we have been conditioned to see as "bad", "evil", "sick", or "perverted". Even harder to Love them. These dark fragments are not "bad" etc., they only appear so to us because they are distorted. The with-holding of Love causes distortions of pure energy. Unity - this is the Grail - the secret of the true Trinity of female/male/magic.


Our role is to rediscover our power, love and ultimately unity

Well said :)
