    Yes, I understand that. Why is it so?
    How about a 'now' type living example?

    I just explained it (one way of many) in the post you quoted.

    The avataristic-duality autonomous world of Fnords.


    Eggshually, I am writing this from a cave in the outer Ebrides, and I have never come across any buddhistic teachings, so please 'scuse my ignorance. My cousin, in outer Mongolia, with 7 kids to feed may never get the chance to become an adult either. Then there's my great uncle Sam, from outer Papua New Guinea. He's been known to "like the odd bone". Not sure he's heard of "no mind". So..... for the 1% who get it? Lucky them?

    Am hopping into my canoe. Off to the see the fnords.

    The core of the avatar's design, is that it must break before it can change
    Why? and what if it never happens?
    The more full of life and stubborn one is, in order to get their way, within their desires, their hopes, to allay their fears..... the more the universe and our given selves, will reflect that back at us.

    That's one of the components that the buddhists don't like to tell you. Not because the analysis and reality is incorrect, but that is an understanding that the individual must come to themselves, otherwise the trickster of the hindbrain/autonomous/avatar will slip by that and work to be sure it stays in charge.

    This is a consensus reality, and thus there must be some form of autonomous reality formation that keeps the system stable and alive, until the given individual awakens and is born at the next level, on the inside... and takes those duality training wheels off. By becoming a singularity of a being and individual. Physical birth is only one layer.


    Another angle of looking at it is:

    What we call a human being that is an 'adult', in this world, is actually a juvenile. Most seriously so.

    Most humans (over 99%) go to their graves ---as a juvenile. Most seriously so.
    Sorry, but it's true.
    There are the divided self and the divided collective.
    The aim is of curse the unified self and the united collective.

    People's search for those two conditions often backfires, and instead of attaining such unity
    their experimentation only leads them back to the same old comfort zones which are fake, since they are short lived fragments and illusory.
    Hence duality reigns, (at least for now) ...the signs are everywhere.
    One of the reasons I was initially attracted to the Bahai faith was it's agenda to unite mankind.
    But somehow they missed the point-
    another elite had appeared, a kind of Baha'i Royalty....despite the scriptures warnings against such a scenario.
    and this elite unknowingly, or purposely--I don't know for sure-
    left out the part of the united self in their eagerness to unify the community.
    Having come in from the Gurdjieff camp of self observation I saw it as my job to call for an "As above so below" type of thinking
    and reminded people of Baha'i teachings that man is the supreme Talisman...
    and community could only grow once it was made up of self-realized sovereign beings.
    So that path led nowhere and to this day I am licking my wounds...
    and am disappointed that even though I personally had tasted the fruits of the tree of true maturity
    yet most people I met refused to do so and decided to remain in juvenile mode.
    But later down the road when I started to figure the true meaning of projection
    I saw that it was me, myself and I who was constantly slipping back into an adolescent state.
    Even though the length of time I would dwell there became shorter and shorter.

    It is obvious that what the world needs today is unity, and integrating the inner juvenile is the only way to get there.
    And maybe we are collectively in the middle of such a process, with some a bit further along the path than others.

    I totally realize, HERE AND NOW, that what I just described the Baha'is to be was in fact a very accurate description of myself.
    Thanks for giving me this platform of free psycho-analysis.
    All the elements are there in my post above...
    from the elitism (yes, shudder, shudder) to the "eagerness" to "unify the community"
    which is exactly what I have been noticing in myself whenever I had issues with this thread,
    but am better now to just allow it all to run it's course, without too much interference.
    When I was in my twenties I was designing and manufacturing and selling dresses,
    sometimes to members of British royalty- like Princess Alexandra had bought 12 of my dresses...
    and this brush with royalty left it's mark...yet all my socializing was done with naughty anti-royalist liberals...
    so that's where the split came in... I'm only now seeing it...YAY

    Fnord.
    we all know what F stands for.
    Nord in German means "north".
    North is opposite of south, which is where you go when you go "down"
    as in "going south".

    So when I say fnord I am saying "F.... north" and I'm really heading south, which is where 99% of humans are heading...

    Is that what you meant, Carmody?

    Thank you for directing me the the Wiki link, Meeradas.

    The bottom line of the article says "help us improve this article".
    Which I am now unable to do, as the whole article was spiked with fnords and references to fnords.
    As a result I find myself left with reduced faculties.

    Wow, thanks for the laugh.
    If I hadn't felt so lazy I would have gone in search of that exact image.
    Too much focus on fnords had it's effect, but you just broke the spell.

    This is now going on my Pinterest funny page.

    I had forgotten about 'fnords', until Playdo mentioned them... which come from the illuminatus trilogy.

    I'm using them incorrectly, slightly misapplied... but the basic psychological connectivity aspect still applies.

    The self block, or the difficulty in finding the given correct door to step through, as the depths of survival of the body.... as life force autonomous function...this is what is directly on top of the doorway out of this mess.

    Like a sixteen ton block on the bottom of the ocean. The door out ......is beneath that.

    And psychologically speaking, with regard to external perception of the difficulties involved (As seen from the 'not there yet' state) you have to go to it in your birthday suit. No apparatus, no help, nothing. You are on your own.

    One's own life force desire has to be sublimated in the true sense. Then it will slip off the doorway and one can finally be a bit more free.

    Be the 'ego whisperer' .

    The big deal, is to silence the inner voice (the ego is that unheard subconscious whisperer), to still it completely. this takes time,as it is a re-wiring thing, so it can't just happen in a moment, although it may feel like it. Like a dam bursting. But it will take time, time beyond that initial moment. Months at a minimum, and then, like exercise and good heath/eating that energizes the body, this condition can only be held through the same, with regard to mental work and exercise. and throughout that, slowly..clarity will come.

    And it will be, simultaneously, the most painful and most joyful time that anyone could ever go through, up to and including all an individual's concepts and thoughts on life..and death. Beyond.

    Like a sixteen ton block on the bottom of the ocean. The door out ......is beneath that.

    And psychologically speaking, with regard to external perception of the difficulties involved (As seen from the 'not there yet' state) you have to go to it in your birthday suit. No apparatus, no help, nothing. You are on your own.

    Your own life force desire has to be sublimated in the true sense. Then it will slip off the doorway and one can finally be a bit more free.

    Scratching my head here....
    since I always thought it was to do with a fear of entering the vortexes between the chakras (my own theory)
    I like the analogy of the block at the bottom of the ocean,
    but would find that image even more disempowering than the idea of being squeezed through a vortex.
    It implies more struggle than I feel I would be capable of.


    One more thought to add here...
    I remember each moment now of going through to the next level, and which corresponds to what you are saying. There was always a slight feeling of fainting, of losing consciousness.
    And I remember clearly being scared out of my wits, yet moving forward despite my fears.
    So I agree, that's how it is done.
    The societal indoctrination is pro life, and thus inhibits all death wish. yet it is exactly the allowing of our inherent death wish at those moments that makes it all possible.
    Maintaining a balance between life force and death wish is the art here....

    The struggle part is part paradox.

    It's actually..convincing the body to 'give up'.

    Ignore it all you want.

    That fits with Gurdjieff teachings that the instinctive self (body) is stronger than the emotional self which in turn is still stronger than the intellectual self.
    Something quite hard to acknowledge.
    Which explains why so many good New Years resolutions don't make it past February 1st.

    Now to take this one level higher...to the collective level.
    Lets say the mass awakening process began 100 years ago, or even earlier- with the Industrial revolution.
    Then radio, mass media, consumerism after war deprivations, and culminating during the sixties and seventies.

    At this point the controllers felt they were losing their grip and freaked out and tripled their effort to maintain control. Banks pumped more cash at people to lure them deeper into "ownership" of stuff.
    Corporate media slowly modifying the earlier freedom of the press, for example.

    Then, the controllers received another blow...with the advent of the Internet.

    But with the Internet came the usual duality as it became an instrument...
    disinformation was the only way to stop the truth from coming out...like sprinkling rhine stones around the diamonds...


    serving for further sedation for some and further awakening for others, according to each person's choice, as they sat in front of their laptops, staring at images on their screens and either buying passively into whatever was presented or rejecting falsehoods due to an evolved sense of discernment.
    But always a small percentage could see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    But the intellectual self..has the capacity to tame the savage beast. To convince it to step aside, to let go the doorway and not be so strict. however, awareness needs be greater, rightfully so, before that can happen.

    And as the good general stubbledine said, sorta.., "if people only knew the power that was really within them."

    This is part of the issue. those who are illiterate and not clear, playing manipulation games with themselves and thus reflecting it at others and creating giant piles of animated steaming crap.

    http://www.newsmonster.co.uk/paranor...-at-goats.html

    It was only natural, then, for the military to turn to their most accomplished psychics for help. One of them, a youthful Uri Geller, was asked to kill a pig. There was just one problem, which hadn't occurred to his handlers - Uri was a vegetarian with an abiding respect for all life.

    "They asked me to kill the poor creature using thought alone," Uri says. "I cannot tell you how shocked I was. I love animals. My powers cannot be used to harm. It's as simple as that.

    "In those days I was young and naïve but in that moment I realised who I'd become associated with. I catapulted myself out of that room and left the programme."

    The military, of course, didn't abandon the project just because Uri had left. It morphed into Project Jedi at Fort Bragg, headquarters of US Special Forces.

    Sergeant Glenn Wheaton, a special forces soldier and a member of Project Jedi, recently told me of the attempts to kill numerous different animals. First they tried dogs but the psychic soldiers couldn't bring themselves to kill them, especially when the creatures were looking at them with their big brown eyes. They finally latched onto goats. They reasoned that no one could empathise with a creature as ugly as a goat.

    "One of the special forces soldiers, Michael Echanis, could stop the heart of a goat just by thinking about it," says Sergeant Wheaton. "I watched him do it.

    "Blood began to drip from its nose. Froth then started to bubble from its mouth. The creature fell on to its side, had a fit and died. I can't have taken longer than 30 seconds. It was chilling to watch."

    "We realised soon after that everything comes with a cost. Michael suffered a sympathetic injury to his heart. Maybe it was karma."


    I said, last year, that I was seriously pissed with the racoons who got into the roof. I was QUITE negative toward them.

    Every raccoon in the area left, or died. Most died. OK, so I got my way. Sort of. But not without any damage inflicted back at myself. Ping-pong re-reinforcement, one could say.

    Humanity is certainly swinging out of control right now.

    Now, imagine people, in their egos, being in charge of this kind of energy.

    The doorway cover has to be immense and complex, and difficult. Recall Doyle Noyes. What he did is he used his energies to create the genesis of the storm. Then others saw it, and then they helped form it ..and their projected fears made it bigger as Doyle made it bigger and controlled it, as it was his initial start.

    It was HIS pattern, that they stepped into.

    THAT is how I managed to get ~4000 lost souls in the bardo to help themselves 'get out' and go home. I did this when I had no idea of all this stuff. I simply knew ---and did it.

    I also once stood beside a "10-sigma person" having very real and powerful psychophysical abilities, while he turned the entire sky over Kansas City dark as midnight at high noon, completely with his mind (i.e., with his patterned dendrite-ending spikes linking his mind to his body). Huge clouds also formed, with great bolts of lightning and torrential rain. This was in the center of a large zone in which no rain at all had fallen in more than 60 days; it was in the middle of a very strong drought. Foreigners in dark autos, heavily armed, were after him in ensemble. His name was Doyle Noyes, and eventually they did get him and kill him. There is a very active program, it seems, to suppress these exceedingly few 10-sigma persons (perhaps a half dozen at any one time) on planet Earth. Such a suppression program seems to have been in existence also for at least a century or more.

    We can all, to some degree do these sort of things, depending on our specific avatar design, and our level of soul evolution.

    Now, the whole archon thing. Well, speaking of invoking fear in the bardo gives them what they want. If indeed there is even a they, and it is not our own manifestation.

    Invoking fear here, organized religions, war, hatred, etc. Ping pong and control and feeding, all in one.

    This whole thing of empowerment is a great idea, but can't be done without some sort of initiation rite.
    If all this power is placed in the hands of the uninitiated a lot more innocent lives would be lost than are already.

    I don't mean literal rituals, but more like what you did- a voluntary self purification process.

    If it's not voluntary it will be forced, and that force comes at a person from an apparent "outside" when in fact it is from the person's own higher self, hidden beyond the veil.
    Those who have made it past that point have a sense of obligation to guide others through the pitfalls of the initiation rites.
