Yeah, as long as we know what “good” is there is a judgment involved. This is better than that, that’s where we go wrong since we can only know what does arise, for instance, sickness and death are a part of life, and the more we try to avoid this the more we create it, trying to come up with ways to mitigate this fact, we focus on it, but why do we mitigate it in the first place, because we fear it, that’s always the case, we fear what is because we already misunderstand what is, the “veil” of fear clouds our vision, in fact, everything is always the only way it can be, for better or for worse is a story that only we tell. So we are then inundated with propaganda that tells us we need to be “healthy” creating some fear that we are not as we already should be, in fact, however we are must be as it is, this doesn’t mean we can’t improve our health but if we do so based on fearing the alternative, we may actually become even more unhealthy because “health” is already a concept in thinking, (this is desirable and this is not) we are as we think we are. The whole cycle just creates more fear and as we “try” all ways to be “healthy” we, in fact, do the opposite, anything we do out of fear strengthens that which we wish to eliminate. So the cycle is always propelling itself toward increasing that which we ignorantly strive to reduce. To lift the veil, therefore, doesn’t involve feeling better, it means diving deeply into the fact that eventually, we must die, our greatest fear is death when and however that comes but this is already a misunderstanding, from thinking we imagine we are already something that we are not, a person, or an identity subject to life and death, when in fact we were never born therefore can never die. There is nothing that is not God. All hands are Gods, that’s all that ever was or ever will be.
Well, I was reading this:
Indeed, parts of the Zohar may have been composed through automatic writing, a technique in which the mystic would meditate on a divine name, enter a trance, and begin to “write whatever came to his hand.” Such a technique was reportedly used by other thirteenth-century kabbalists.

And then this:
Near the top of the sefirotic ladder, meditation reaches Binah. She is called Teshuvah, Return. The ego returns to the womb of being. Binah cannot be held in thought. She is called Who, the meditative question, “Who am I?” The questioning yields nothing that can be grasped, but rather, an intuitive flash illuminating and disappearing, as sunbeams play on the surface of water.19

Well, I came to these practices before, Ramana Maharshi, a famous Indian sage, his mantra was also to meditate or focus the mind on the question, “Who am I?” and it was after many hours of this that I saw what actually was and what wasn’t. One glimpse is all it takes, after that this writing started to appear, I wrote about ten million words in five years, nonstop writing, the mind figures itself out on the paper. One’s whole life becomes understood in a way that makes perfect sense, in fact, the idea that chaos exists is completely annihilated.
What am I doing here telling you all this? Who knows, I have nothing to do with what appears or what doesn’t, the where or what of anything, take it or leave it, all is divine providence and nothing else. Seen correctly the 1% realm is also God’s, and the only reason for suffering is that we think it’s something else. Thousands of years of misunderstanding have taught us to think in a way that leads to our demise, but if so, then perhaps that’s the way it has to be. What we think we “know” about anything is already a lie. “I am” is all there is and anything you put after that is only fantasy. I think I look for someone with which to have an actual conversation about what is with but I can tell from your answer that you haven’t seen it. So everything that comes from those who haven’t actually made the trip gets watered down and no help ever comes from it, the cycle is doomed to continue even when those who truly want to help things go in another direction are heartfelt about it. Only a radical shift will do it, when the pain of being false supersedes the pain of turning inward, (that’s the real pattern going on in the world, how much pain that requires is anyone’s guess) to face the fear of all fears, that you aren’t what you think you are, and you aren’t where you think you are either. The Truth it turns out as Mark Twain so famously wrote truly is “stranger than fiction.”
SandraParticipant“All actions born of fear that arise in response to any perceived threat or calamity without exception only strengthens that which it sought to eliminate.” This is the pattern, it runs through lives and worlds, and the only way to end it is to face the fear that created it, feel it, enter it, and thus dissolve it. Since it exists on a level before thought, (thought is in essence “the veil”) promoting ways to access and dissolve this underlying fear might be beneficial.
Please if you might comment on this observation.
SandraParticipantSorry posted on a different thread, so just ignore, it doesn’t let me delete it completely or I don’t know how. Cheers to that I guess.
SandraParticipantI don’t see at this point see how the “upper forces” can be assessed as a group since the individual falseness must arise at the same time it views another being (well you gotta be somebody) so the two movements usually cancel each other out as self-consciousness (false self/ show/ identity) is activated. It may work on a level unknown to the “thinking mind” hence the being enters the “group field” and on another level, this influences the false identity though this identity knows nothing of it, a seed is planted so to speak, that awakens the urge to awaken. Most likely they concluded that was the best that could be done, given the worldly pull towards individuality, the walls are so think that penetrating them is nearly impossible since the operating system embedded in modern life depends on having a false sense of self, me and mine, arise in response to outside stimuli so continuously the chance for an opening or glimpse has been closing in tighter and tighter with every passing generation.
Anything the false self is activated to do always involves some benefit to the individual/ false identity as it seeks to keep fear (what it is) at bay and while a safe or comforting space may enable the arising of courage to disassemble this false entity, the process is anything but comforting. It’s easy to see from here that as the whole world dreams of being “safe” they do so to their own detriment.
I wrote this statement a while back and would love it if you might comment back to me on it as I think it sums up perfectly what the real underlying issue is.
“All actions born of fear that arise in response to any perceived threat or calamity without exception only strengthens that which it sought to eliminate.” I might add the word “eventually” here, as the strengthening of what it sought to eliminate might take years, generations even. (The response itself later turns into a calamity of gigantic proportions for example rules put in place to keep one safe end up creating more and more situations in which to be unsafe, they feed off each other, the initial mistake that one could be unsafe sets off a cascade of reactions that tend to snowball.)
This isn’t by mistake, all calamities are actually an attempt by awareness at self correction, but it’s not the event itself that needs to be understood, but the underlying fear/resistance/avoidance/apprehension that seeks to be released. In essence, there’s nothing you can do, but surrender, give up, resist nothing, you have no volition of your own, I am that I am, the pattern was set in motion by ignorance, and only letting all things be, some final and total release of any control over anything you think you might have, a free fall, total and complete trust in God, nothing can happen to you that isn’t supposed to happen to you by design, there is no imperfection, never was.
Well, those are some thoughts that arise here. I’d welcome your response.
Love,
Sandra Anne
March 27, 2021 at 3:48 am EDT in reply to: What have you discovered about Kabbalah that was new to you? #43218SandraParticipantI was surprised that it is so similar to what I’ve already figured out, like how it’s no good to believe anything just because everyone else believes it, just you don’t need belief, the false things you do believe is really in the way, it’s like I have had so many “coincidences” here that continue, not actually “coincidence”, no such thing, it’s like a friend might send me a song that he thinks I will like and later on in the evening I might be watching a movie where the same song has been incorporated into it somehow, that is because there’s a dream going on and what goes here can also go there, just no such thing as even time, this happening first or that happening later, all times are interconnected, well we heard there was such a thing as time and now we believe it, just we’ve been sucked into thinking it exists, probably to get everyone to the factory job on time, but I don’t believe in time, because it’s my experience that it doesn’t actually exist all to be true I’m not even sure what that is anymore just that it comes in handy if you want to catch a plane or meet up with someone. Furthermore, I know I can rely on this connection with the Creator because I am is its creation, just the idea of being alone, is only another idea, well they sold a lot of stuff to all the lonely people after the idea that it was bad to be that way became popular, everything you believe is sort of like a scam, just you have to investigate how you know things, whether you actually know them because you’ve experienced it or whether it’s just something you heard or read that you believed. Let me tell you all governments love it that you believe you need to pay them, pay your taxes, so they can keep the order and protect you from harm, but that’s a lie, there is no harm, just even if your body dies, it doesn’t mean anything, just there’s a story going on and the beings who write it love drama, that’s it. Most being are believing so many lies now, they can’t even tell what’s true, because ego loves a good story, just loves for someone to lose and others to win, but that’s not a thing. No one is losing anything so pretty hard to have a winner. Not even possible. Just it’s no good to believe stuff that you haven’t figured out is true for yourself, then you know it so you don’t have to believe it anymore. When you get to the love part, just over and over again you feel the love that you are because you have lost your ability to judge anyone, yourself included or anything for that matter, and you instinctively know what it is, this Creator is what you are really, and it is good, then you will just automatically be drawn to it again and again because being away from it won’t be enough. Well, it seems to take a while because of being surrounded by things that don’t support what you know, just that is your old thoughts arising to be seen as the lies that they are. The idea that you aren’t free now is simply another lie. You are literally the gatekeeper to your own happiness because you aren’t just loved, you are the stuff. Well, if you want to change what is going on for you, you have to change your mind like literally. Just there’s a common thought pattern that most beings are attuned to because you just learn it by being surrounded by it, but you can unlearn it because that’s not something you are. I’d say Kabbalah is right in line not with what I believe but what I know, have seen to be true. Just thank you and I love you.
March 27, 2021 at 12:36 am EDT in reply to: Introduce yourself – Question Your Reality Part 2 #43216SandraParticipantHi I go by Sandra Anne, well I seem to only happen on things I am supposed to happen on, just watched Kabbalah Revealed and it seemed to coincide with my own journey to Truth that has been going on from morning till night, for the last 5 years. Just I saw one day, plain as day, that in a strange way this world doesn’t even exist at all in the way everyone seems to have been taught it does. More like a dream where all the players you come across in it are also you would be great if all the characters could know it, just there wouldn’t even be another fight, or any greed, just if you had a lot and kept it to yourself you would see that you were robbing yourself, or that the issue someone might have with you is actually some issue you have with yourself, something that wanted to resolve somehow, like the dream itself is a matrix of supreme intelligence. So yeah, I’m looking forward to this as it seems to be in line with my own experience already, just in a way, you need tools in this life, like the tools are in your mind, in its capacity to dream without fear to know that something going wrong isn’t actually a thing, not even possible, just see what comes up to work with, I do a lot of writing, just try to tell anyone who wants to hear it, it’s actually okay, can’t really fall off the ride at all. This world seems insane to me on just almost all levels, just really sit back and watch it and think even this must be as it is for some reason, just that’s the best that could be dreamt up there, well even if it looks crazy that doesn’t mean you can’t love it or that it’s wrong. Whatever is is right, that’s for sure, because if it is, then it must be so. Well, that’s a little about this one, how the thinking works here really. I have a lot to be grateful for, not really an easy life so far but it seems to get easier every day. Thanks for reading. Love you!
