Yes

Yes, I am a Christ-ian, a follower of the Christ Wisdom, of the melding of God and Human, of the Source Sourcing, of the Wellspring Springing. Yes, I follow the Christ, the Radiance of Being, the Light that lights all consciousness. 

Contemplation

Attention directs energy. Whatever we attend to, we become. We become like that to which we attend. Attend to a character in a movie, we start becoming like that character. This is why prayer, meditation, contemplation are so important and so powerful. When we pray, we become like our prayer. When we open in con-templ-ation, we enter the templum, the clear open space, and become like that clear open space, like the Godhead that births God, the Wellspring that springs forth, the Source that sources all. If we do not meditate, contemplate, or pray, we pretty much stay a sack of meat caught in thoughts.

The Hidden Third

We have (are) our sensory world of what we call fact and we have (are) our inner world of what we call imagination. They say if we live by the first alone, we are subhuman. If we live by the second alone, we are insane. So most of us move through the day doing a balancing act, always reconciling the two. We move rapidly back and forth from one to the other, so quickly that we may not even notice what we are doing. Yet there is a third force, that which births the two. No, it is not out there in the world of fact. No, it is not in here in the world of imagination. It is the source of the two. It is the Source sourcing. Not defined by “in” or “out,” it is the Third. The Third from which all arises. We are the Source sourcing. We are the Third, the Hidden Third, dualing / dueling. This is the Wellspring springing forth. This is the Living Water which is never quenched, which quenches all thirst.

Heart of Joy

Joy! He realizes deeply that his reason for being is the expression of the joy in his soul, the joy at his core, the joy of seeing a chicken on a roof, of seeing a cat by a pumpkin, the joy of the moon sending bliss through the trees. Others at times seem to wish him to suffer, to be grave and serious, but try as he might, the best he can muster is sincere. Sincere: from the heart. And what is his heart but a heart of joy. Nothing he can do about it. It is his nature and nature they say must take its course.

Confluence

How can we understand others unless we are converted to their position while maintaining our own? This can be particularly difficult with those we like to dislike, love to hate. We may have already decided that we do not wish to understand them at all. Yet this is the example that God, our Source, gives us. God understands everyone. God is isomorphic with, confluent with everyone’s position while maintaining His own. This is different from gods and goddesses who never convert to anyone’s position, who only pretend to in order to get their own way or engage in outright warfare for self gain.

With God as a role model, we engage in paradox. God is nothing if not paradoxical. We open completely to the other’s world view, to the other’s experience of the world while simultaneously not abandoning our own. Paradox. Holding contrary views simultaneously. How is this done? Is it not easier to stand firm within one’s own calcification and judge the world from there? To stare out at the world from within one’s own fortification, protected from all further understanding? 

Self-fortification is old school. These times require, demand interflow. Vengeance and anger and self-righteousness are out, side pockets of putrid staleness. We are becoming more like God and less like gods. How is this done? By moving with the currents of the Life Force itself, by moving with the currents of Love.

Faith, belief, and dogma

Belief, faith, and dogma. Take a chair. Belief is that the chair will hold you up. Faith is actually sitting in the chair. Dogma is believing that your chair is the ONLY chair.

the way you take it

You can take it metaphorically or you can take it literally. Me, I take it intuitionally and those two too. Intuitionally means the whole inner core of the earth you are rumbles and rattles and sends vibrational quakes outward in all directions shaking what is not nailed down and loosening the nails in all the rest.

the eyes have it

Be careful where you place your eyes, for what your eyes take in you become. The eyes are the outward manifestation of the brain. The brain and the heart are intimately connected. The eyes feed the soul. 

The inner vision is as important as, perhaps more important than, the outer vision. Our vision creates our world and co-creates the world of us all.
