Energy Alert April 22nd 2008

Posted on Apr 25th, 2008 by karam : Crazy Wisdom karam

DIS-CONNECTIONS, RE-ALIGNMENTS, AND THE MIRACLES OF "LOCAL"

Greetings!    

Although this rarely occurs, it has been much longer than usual in between energy alerts this time. The last energy alert was posted on April 3rd. I was blessed a few weeks ago to acquire my dream land here in the red rocks of the same local area of New Mexico where I have been living, and blessed as well to acquire a rare and "very modest" rental home (or rather, interesting shack) directly across the road within a brief walking distance of my land, where I can reside while I am building some kind of structure to live in! The land and the terms of acquisition seemed to be magically orchestrated, all in divine and perfect order for our new energetic space of new beginnings, as I will address further on in this energy alert. In this regard, I have been moving, have not had internet access, and have been ill as well. At one point I attempted to post this newest energy alert at an internet café about an hour away, but my new laptop would not connect there either! All this supporting our latest energy status of dis-connections. My new internet service was finally connected a few moments ago, so things are finally back to a normal and functioning state...if only I could find my pots and pans! I thank you for your patience...

The energies of late? Much has been missing its mark, as we have broken through into a very new and higher vibrating space and this greatly affects our aligning and connecting experiences. In addition, it can feel as though we are in a no space with nothing much going on at all, and perhaps feeling as if there are no connections to anything either! Are we hanging out there in the middle of nowhere, abandoned, lost, and left behind to our own defenses? Are we in a strange and new space with no one to talk to, to connect to, and with anything and everything seemingly lost out there in a black hole far, far away? Is everyone and everything gone? Are our businesses, friends, means of support and much else gone forever? Will we be able to survive? Does anyone care about us anymore? Have we fallen down a long tunnel  far, far away?

I can assure you that all is in divine and perfect order.

Some manifestations of our dis-connect: We may hear information from someone about a situation, and completely different information about the same situation from someone else. We may be told one thing, and then suddenly, an entirely different scenario manifests, as if some other reality was taking place and it suddenly arrived in our space, but somehow we missed out on how it got there, and it may not even match what we had been experiencing or were being told only a few days, hours, or minutes before. Someone says this and another person says that. Nothing may seem to make sense and confusion can abound during these times!

We may not be able to connect to what we seem to need to connect to. There may be delays, interruptions, or even an extreme inability to connect at all. There may seem to be no open door to communication with no understanding or comprehension from either party. Misinterpretations can abound during these times. We may connect to someone with the same name as the one we are trying to connect to, but it is an entirely different person!

Connections to things electronic may seem to go haywire with constant glitches, problems, and the like. Electronics may not seem to operate as they should, with one mishap after another, with seemingly no resolution in sight.


We may make progress, but in small steps, little increments, and when each accomplishment finally arrives, it may not be the best one, and so yet another solution or manifestation unfolds. This is because much is re-aligning and sorting itself out. The dust has not yet settled with all of the new due to come our way.

Much of everything may seem to have disappeared. Our means of financial support may have dwindled, our friends may seem farther away than normal, and much of anything may seem just too busy to find us. We may feel lost, confused, and left out. We may feel empty or perhaps floating around in a space of no space, all alone on a deserted island.

We may find that when we attempt to connect locally, or to anything which is near to us in the physical, our connections manifest in record time. We may think something, and it miraculously appears in seconds. Miracles may seem to abound when we stay put, or in our immediate space. Local has all the power now, as this is our new evolutionary status.

Here is what is occurring: The doors finally opened fully to the other side, or to a higher vibrating space around the latter part of March.  Some experienced this as an initiation of sorts in their dream state, as well as having some strange and unusual occurrences regarding sounds (usually buzzing), seeing lights, and the like, as well as an intense and dramatic letting go. For some, it may have felt like a huge door swung open, and for others, they may have felt nothing at all.

In the 3D reality, we let go of our physical bodies when we "die." We don't take our suitcases with us either. Through the ascension process, we are dying while we are still in our physical forms, only this process is occurring gradually in small steps. During this last phase into a higher vibrating space or dimension, we needed to let go of much that was holding us back or keeping us in a lower vibrating state. In this regard, we most recently needed to dis-connect from others who were holding us down.


So then, during this latest phase, we were being encouraged to let go of our old ways of "helping," assisting, holding on to others through compassion, and even finally letting go of the responsibilities we had held for so long in regard to getting this planet into a higher vibrating reality by using ourselves as the vehicles for transmutation.  We were being released so that we could "die" some more, go to the light, and arrive in a new reality.  


I am currently recovering from a kidney stone (part of the reason for the delay in writing a new energy alert!). I have never had one before and have not been to a doctor or health practitioner in several years...it was all so very strange until I realized what was occurring. I am truly blessed to have wonderful neighbors. A few days after I moved into my first house here last October, we were invited to dinner across the street. There I met Jerry and his wife Nelda. Jerry and Nelda, an awesome couple of Mormon faith, have watched over my house while I was away, always made sure I was OK, invited me to dances and dinners in town, helped me move into the house I am now occupying, Jerry dowsed my new land for water, and the like.  A few weeks ago Jerry had a kidney stone and it was discovered that Nelda had ovarian cancer. When I heard about this, I was crushed and immediately went into compassion. Very soon after, I got a kidney stone myself and the major portion of the pain was in the area of my ovary.


Because the state of compassion vibrates lower than love, we can easily take on the energy of what we are showing compassion for. This lowers our vibration. The answer is to stay in love and to stay separate. This is what was holding many of us back from moving into the new world.  We may have cared too deeply for others with a strong desire to help and assist.


We no longer need to assist in this way. We can retire now from our old roles. Our mission has been accomplished. As we learn to vibrate differently, we can now move on.


Currently, then, we are "re-booting."  We are gearing up and re-aligning ourselves for the new and everyone is different in regard to how this manifests. Some may feel as though they do not want to do a thing, cannot get going, feel a heaviness and a dragged down feeling, and very lethargic. Some may feel spacey, dis-oriented, have difficulty concentrating...or maybe even lost in space. Others may be preparing as if a spring cleaning is needed. And during this house cleaning, many may find that it is indeed time to let go of much while we are preparing for our very new beginnings.


We are indeed re-aligning to a great degree. This is what is causing the strange occurrences with connections. As we are now vibrating higher, we are no longer in alignment with the things we used to be in alignment with. Because of this, we may find ourselves not being able to communicate with others, not wanting to continue friendships, and certainly experiencing an inability to connect to electronics and much of anything residing in the old world of lower vibrating creations!


As we have reached the end of the tunnel, we may feel like much of everything else is on the opposite end of the tunnel where we are, and thus, much can feel as if it is existing somewhere far, far way.


When we begin to vibrate higher, we are almost literally invisible to old lower vibrating forms. When I tried to find an installer for my internet satellite, they could not find my community or new address anywhere in their map system. It was as if I did not even exist. This is what at times can create the feeling of being lost. And this is what is creating the re-setting, re-aligning, and the new connections as well.


In addition, we may need to part with some of our brothers and sisters, as we no longer share the same roles or pieces and realities of the new world. This was the case for Phil and I, as we have now completely parted in all ways. We were intended to be together for a brief time, and we are now done with what we came together to do. Someone who is an ideal match for me now is due to arrive very soon. And during this parting process, I indeed learned about holding on as well. Wanting to part as a team effort, supporting each other, and being there for each other did not work. I was holding on in an effort to take the high road of parting ways in integrity, consideration, with caring and mutual support, and this only created confusion and stress for both of us. I would have never guessed. When it is time to let go, it is simply time to let go in all ways.


A brief side note here:  For many, our new beginnings involve being with the partners and friends of our dreams and our ideal mates. Our ideal companions are just that. Meaning it is not necessary to have a partner who shares our project or our "work," and certainly who is not in our space to help us balance our issues. Ideal partners in the higher realms reflect a wonderful companionship, as at this point we are fairly complete and whole all on our own. This is part of the reality of these very new beginnings which we will indeed experience soon. We are in yet another of the many transitions of the ascension process, and this particular one has many, many facets and phases as it is so very monumental.


So here is what is ahead and what we are evolving into as a whole and as individuals, even though you may be tired of hearing it so many times! (smile):  We have refined ourselves and purified to a great degree, although we still have much more yet to do. This creates a more purified version of who we are. In this way, we then begin to attract other more purified things into our lives which match where we currently are.  As things are condensing and refining more and more, the denser energies are also leaving as well, creating much less space in between our connections.  Thus, we need to re-align with things that now match where we are. Those we part from will also re-align with things that match where they are as well. All in divine and perfect order.


Small communities will begin to form, as they are beginning now. This will create much in the way of "local." You may find yourself now using a landline phone instead of a cell phone. You may find yourself connecting more to others who reside in your immediate community. The airlines here in the US are supporting this energy of "staying home," as thousands of flights have been cancelled lately due to unusual circumstances.  We are refining and purifying, and this creates a natural state of congealing with other energies similar to ours....thus, local communities, as energies which are vibrating lower seem to exist somewhere far, far away.


Becoming more grounded will be prevalent, as well as aligning and grounding to your area of residence. And yes, small communities can form within big metropolises. We need only be in an area where we feel good, as that is all that matters. If you feel that you are not yet in this space of local community, you are not alone. We are all right where we need to be, and this will be addressed more fully further on in this energy alert.


As the solar flares of the past have subsided to a great degree, our connections to the light will come much more from our connections to each other.  We are vibrating higher now within ourselves, and we need only connect to each other for love and support. Yet another alignment to starting new communities here on Earth.


Those of us who have been unable to drop extra weight will see it falling off now. Holding the light or higher vibrations for the whole is no longer necessary, as we have reached a critical mass as well as moved into a higher vibrating reality, and thus, left the denser energies behind. The weight or light we carry is now more evenly distributed among the masses, as our mission has been accomplished. We need not carry it by ourselves now in order to shift the energies. And in addition, we will be communing with our brothers and sisters of the light and thus, need not carry this weight or light when we are together.


When I used to visit the ancient sites, I would love to communicate with our ancient elders and learn how they used to live and what they held dear. I am no longer in this space. During the last visit I made to my favorite site during the equinox, it was made very clear that I need only hang out, enjoy myself, and learn nothing more. This is because we have now surpassed these ancient and highly evolved ways.  We are now at a point where we can create what we choose on this planet Earth. It is entirely up to us. And this is part of our new beginnings. Our old spirit guides may have departed as well, as our guidance is being encouraged to come from within ourselves...not from without (even though our spirit guides were always only higher vibrating aspects of ourselves anyway: it is just that we are now becoming them or surpassing them).


So for some, new guides may arrive and for others, they may be greatly encouraged to use their wisdom from within. As we continue with our evolutionary process, more and more we become the angels of the earth ourselves as we ourselves become the non-physical beings with whom we used to consult. This is why we may appear invisible to some, or at least, greatly unnoticed in the old reality of lower vibrational manifestations.


We will begin to support each other through utilizing our own unique gifts and talents within our local communities. About 25% of our time will be spent providing service to the masses in the way of our store-fronts. Our store-fronts will connect globally, while the remainder of our connections will be to our local environment. Our store-fronts will bring in the financial support we need which makes up for any support we still cannot get from our local communities.


We are all at different levels of this scenario. Generally speaking, the first wavers have retired and all their needs will be met. On down the rungs of the ladder will be others who desire to follow. These individuals will be assisted by those who have retired, and they will be assisted through the store-fronts. In this way, our store-fronts will cater more to the mainstream than ever before. Know as well, that there are always overlaps and grey areas. Some may not serve the mainstream, but serve others who are near the top rung with much more higher vibrating services. Others may have store-fronts at the same time that they are still moving up the ladder. This is just an overview of our evolutionary process and how it will most likely unfold and there is always room for change as we are the ultimate creators.


Currently in the US our economy is resetting itself. It is experiencing a rebooting as well. So there is much going on all at once now, as the US has always been the fore-runner for the rest of the world. Our store-fronts will be the glue that holds what is left together. We will all be OK. We will be OK either through our store-fronts as wayshowers, or through the assistance of others who are a bit ahead of us. Or even through the love, unity, connections, and support of our new communities!


No one is better than another, and no one has missed the boat. We determined our roles and how they would unfold well before we entered these physical forms. In this way, we are all right where we need to be according to what our own individual roles are about. Holding the space where each of us is residing is always perfection. In this way we assist the whole as we assist ourselves. We need to be in different spaces. This is part of the process...


Re-booting almost always involves the heavy feeling of lethargy, but it always passes as well. We may feel as if we are going in circles and getting nowhere, but as things settle out through their new alignments, we will experience more magic than we have ever known.

Non Duality : Expressing the Inexpressible

Posted on Apr 23rd, 2008 by karam : Crazy Wisdom karam
Breathing...

the heart beating...


sounds in the room...


sensations in the body.....

thoughts arising and dissolving into nothingness...



Already, there is only Oneness.


And this is it.

Just life, but nobody living it. Just this, playing itself out spontaneously, of its own accord, in its own time.


And there is no "you" separate from "this". That's the illusion. That's the dream. That's the suffering.

Only nothing - no-thing - arising as everything. Only the absolute paradox of it all. And yet, in life without a centre, there are still faces, places, feelings, ups and downs. Although now the ups are equal to the downs, pain is equal to pleasure, the most excruciating suffering is equal to the greatest joy. Because with the collapse of the individual self comes the ending of all opposites, all opposition, all duality, which is to say that everything now exists in perfect balance (as it always has done). And yet, there is nobody to know that balance, nobody who could name it, nobody who could speak of it, even if they wanted to.

This is grace, and it will never be captured in words.


How to use dualistic concepts to describe that which is beyond duality? And anyway, isn’t “beyond duality” just another concept, perhaps the biggest concept of them all?


And of course, the mind will struggle with these dream questions. But the mind has missed the point entirely. The mind is so lost in the dream that it could never hope to see this.


What is being said here has nothing to do with words. Once we get lost in words and concepts and meanings we're so totally, completely, utterly lost. Because this message is about what is presently happening – present sights, sounds and smells. It’s about the utterly obvious present appearance of life, an appearance which appears to nobody, an appearance which dances and swirls and pretends to be solid but actually has no solidity at all, an appearance which cannot be grasped in any way (and the attempt to grasp it would only lead to suffering anyway…)

It’s an appearance which cannot be escaped, cannot be denied, cannot be transcended, because the person who would try and do any of these things in the first place does not even exist. Ther person is an apparition, a ghost, a mirage, a thought. And what power does thought have?

And so this is the end of choice, the end of control, and a plunge into something far more explosive.

This is the absolute freedom which cannot be reached through any sort of effort or non-effort.

This is the end of duality because it is the wide open space, the vastness in which duality appears to arise in the first place.

This is totally extraordinary, and yet it is nothing special.

This is the miracle of all miracles, and yet it is as simple as breathing.

This is death, and yet it is also the source of all life.

This is not something a mind could ever hope to grasp. This is not a concept to be understood, not a new belief to be believed.

This is breathing, this is the heart beating, this is an entire world arising out of nothing and falling back into nothing, ceaselessly, playfully, like waves in the ocean, like icy breath on a winter’s day, like the memory of a loved one, long since departed.

This is not a state to be reached; it is not something that some people have and others don’t.

This is just a description of the utterly obvious.

And it’s so simple a newborn baby could see it: life already has no centre.

I Have Learned So Much

Posted on Apr 11th, 2008 by karam : Crazy Wisdom karam

I
Have
Learned
So much from God
That I can no longer
Call
Myself

A Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim,
A Buddhist, a Jew.

The Truth has shared so much of Itself
With me

That I can no longer call myself
A man, a woman, an angel,
Or even pure
Soul.

Love has
Befriended Hafiz so completely
It has turned to ash
And freed
Me

Of every concept and image
My mind has ever known.

Hafiz

I Am

Posted on Apr 11th, 2008 by karam : Crazy Wisdom karam
one in a million




I AM the light that wakes up the morning sky
And the dark that closes it down at night

I AM the kite that flies on a windy day
And also the wind that causes the play
I AM the boy that's running with all his might,
Holding the cord that's guiding the flight

I AM all that lives and moves and breathes
People animals oceans trees
I AM every human that's ever been known
And beyond the body, flesh and bone

I AM every thought that shocks or surprises
And every emotion that arises
I AM love and anger, joy and fear,
Passion and peace, or a fallen tear.

I AM beyond description or spoken word
And beyond seeing and cannot be heard
I AM totally invisible yet everything seen
Neither past or future but have always BEEN

Mandy Solk

How do you decide that something is true?

Posted on Apr 5th, 2008 by karam : Crazy Wisdom karam
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for April 03, 2008:

Well, for me a first answer could be that All and Everything and No-Thing is Truth.

On a less philosophycal and more practical plane I could say that if something works then it is true.

love to All!

Energy Alert

Posted on Apr 4th, 2008 by karam : Crazy Wisdom karam

Some incredible new openings arrived for us on April 1st. Like a huge flower opening and readying to bloom, much was revealed to us and a very new doorway opened to allow an effortless and beautiful entry into a higher vibrating reality and world of our wildest dreams.


Some are having awesome and incredible experiences, and others are feeling stagnation and heaviness. There is a key to this door to heaven, and all we need do is be willing to grasp it and open the door.


I have been telling a tale the past months or perhaps years of dimensional hierarchies. I have been telling a tale about how we would eventually arrive in a space where we would be on a new and different "other side," spending limited but valuable time on the dimensional border, and rarely going back to the lower and denser dimensions which will be crashing as they prepare to depart. This is all finally occurring now. This scenario is most certainly here...we are smack in the middle of it now.


What is the key to the door and what are some of the manifestations of this very new arrival into the higher realms?


Manifestations: The density in the higher realms is much lighter. This means that what remains is mostly the purer forms of vibration, with much gone that was released and purged (remember 2007, the year of purging and growth?). So then, there is not nearly as much "in between" manifestations of form. When we look out through the windows of our eyes, we don't see as much forest, as much has been cleared.


In this regard, our boundaries are now much thinner. Very commonly through the ascension process, we experience specific phases of unpleasantness relating to boundaries. These phases always occur when we have reached a new and higher vibrating plateau. We can have an experience where we feel we have been violated, intruded upon, or perhaps that we were taken advantage of for our goodness, kindness and understanding. We can feel as if someone or something has entered our private space, taken control when we have not given permission, and is doing things or vibrating in ways that make us extremely uncomfortable. An unpleasant energy seems to want to run our show without our permission. There seems to be an uninvited intruder present.


Here is what is occurring: The lower vibrating energies are in extreme fear now, as they are aware (but rarely consciously) that they are departing. They are grasping to hold onto something. They are grabbing a shore and the shore is us. We feel good to them as we vibrate higher. We are loving and understanding. Thus, they are clinging onto us in desperation, and unfortunately, our understanding nature makes us very vulnerable.


Because of the new boundary situation with less density and boundaries present, they are really in our spaces. Having this kind of lower vibrating and very fearful and extreme energy within our spaces can feel scary, out of control, and even create panic and anxiety. The antidote can be simple ....we need to show love to these energies while we most assuredly refuse to allow these energies to continue their dance. We need to extricate ourselves from them, as they will most certainly pull us down into their space.


We can love them, but we need not spend all our time with them. Being firm while moving on is the best scenario here. But there is yet another piece. Compassion is a higher vibrating energy, but love vibrates even higher. When we are in compassion, we are taking on the energy of that which we are feeling compassion for. This pulls us down. In addition, there is no compassion on the other side as there is no suffering. Deep caring can be awesome, but too much of it can allow us to give ourselves away. Love is pure and simple. We love but do not own or relate anymore to the energies of which we are no longer in alignment with. Love and limited caring until we are able to be only in pure love is perhaps the best scenario in dealing with these energies.


Love and move on. Understand and care briefly, and move on. And when we are in the spaces of these lower vibrating energies, vibrating love to them will keep our own vibrations high while allowing us to reside in these spaces of dimensional divide for a limited time.


As the doors have finally flown open for our new residency in a higher realms reality, staying back with these fearful energies will only serve to pull us down, delay our arrival, and devalue ourselves as well. We have most certainly earned this new chapter, or new book of the life of our wildest dreams, and putting ourselves first will guarantee our arrival with complete certainty.


Is this being selfish? One of the "keys of being" that is included in Stepping Into the New Reality (yes, finally out soon for those of you who may be interested!) is that we have to put ourselves first. We can't pour water from an empty pitcher. This way of being also keeps our vibration high as well.


What about service? Yes, very important here in regard to the dimensional hierarchies. Non-physical beings don't spend a lot of time in our dimension, even though they can be great advisors and love us dearly. They do not spend much time in our dimension because they cannot. Higher and lower vibrating energies cannot exist in the same space for long periods of time.


We can always go lower, but we cannot go higher until we are matching that higher vibration within ourselves. We are now being asked to go higher and stay there as we are now vibrating higher. When we drop down to assist those vibrating lower, at the space of the dimensional boundary, we can only stay there for limited times of service, vibrating love and assistance through our store-fronts, and then we must go back home.


And any lower than the dimensional divide is the old world. The old world is falling fast now. Here in the US, the economy is crashing, as the old world is experiencing a need to turn inside out while its value system is re-structuring. Staying out of the old world is a necessity now, as we do not want to go down with the ship.


The key to the other side?


Letting go of the burdens and responsibilities that are not ours. Letting go of the illusional "have to's."  No longer being there for others. Allowing the energies and journeys of others to be their own. Focusing on where we are now vibrating, or the higher realms, and really seeing where we actually are instead of focusing on what is falling away. The higher realms is right in front of us and many times we do not even notice. Not taking on the energies of others, not doing it all, and not feeling responsible for the whole of the planet, as the planet is right where it needs to be.


Lots of "nots" here! How about this more higher vibrating version instead: Following our bliss. Allowing ourselves to put ourselves first. Owning our own journey. Staying true to our pure and authentic selves. Being in our own space. Supporting ourselves as this supports the whole as well. And letting go of the burdens.


The theme here is responsibility. Many may need to let go of being over-responsible, but there are others who will need to become more responsible for themselves. Either way, there is an imbalance.


Once we let go and extricate ourselves from the energies of others we will be catapulted like magic into a very new reality. I can assure you, your life will turn into the life of your wildest dreams.


"Well, this doesn't make much sense Karen," you might be thinking. "After all, you have been saying for weeks and weeks that we were ‘waiting" for everyone else to catch up!"


We have most certainly been transmuting the energies for the whole. This has been a role of each and every lightworker indeed. And yes, we have been "waiting" for this new opening to occur as we wanted as many people on board as possible.


The transmuting and waiting are what was needed to create the critical mass of energy required to blast through to the other side. The mission has now been accomplished. Life on "the other side" is very different from life in the old world. We no longer transmute or wait for others to catch up, as we are all here right now. Being in our integrity, being true to ourselves, vibrating as high as possible while interacting with others who are doing the same is the way here. Equal contributions are the way as well. This supports the whole.


So then, equal contributions of our gifts and talents, or our true and authentic selves, requires a balance of responsibility...we cannot give too much and we cannot take too much either. Being who we are is the key. When we are all simply being who we are, in our integrity, then we naturally support each other.


We are all integral pieces of the whole, and now that we are vibrating higher and higher, we will begin to congeal in small like minded communities which will be separate from what is falling. We will begin supporting ourselves and no longer relying on support from the old outside world of the masses.


And as more and more individuals residing in the old world begin to be willing to let go and change, we will have the opportunity to assist them in getting to where we are through our store-fronts and our service which will exist on the dimensional border.


At times I receive correspondences from readers who vehemently object to portions of my writings. There is much room in these energy alerts for mis-interpretation. I am unable to go into great detail about each concept, and this can cause mis-interpretations. In addition, we are all vibrating at different levels and see through different filters as well.


So please know that some of this material may seem "off" to some of you without the luxury of a long winded explanation. In the new Stepping Into the New Reality program, there will be an opportunity to ask questions to gain clarity. The books and programs are much more in-depth as well. The energy alerts are meant to bring validation to our experiences and to assist in clarifying this sometimes strange and confusing experience of ascension. Many of us are tired as well and don't wish to wade through a long winded energy alert several times per month.


My hope and desire is that the brevity of these messages serves to assist and support, and not to confuse. If we never read or attempted to learn one thing in this world, we would all be fine... because very simply, we are always right where we need to be. Enjoying our lives each and every day, being present in them, accepting that we are here having an experience called life, and enjoying the simplicity of each and every moment is all that is ever needed anyway.


We have everything we need right now. We are alive. We have a new opportunity each and every day to create fresh and new. There is much to be grateful for in the simplicity of each moment. We really don't need to be anywhere else or even know anything!

Seeing and not seeing

Posted on Apr 3rd, 2008 by karam : Crazy Wisdom karam

A simple, direct, but fundamental shift in perception reveals that all there
is is liberation. But oneness does not become apparent through
something gained, rather through something lost. Many will come across
this rare and radical message and quickly shuffle back to that which they
think they can know and do. But there are those with whom this
communication will resonate . . . and there will be a sudden seeing and
falling away of all seeking, even for that which they have called
enlightenment.
All there is is this. Oneness is being this . . . whatever is apparently
happening . . . reading these words, breathing, blood coursing through the
body, sounds being heard, thoughts coming and going and feelings in the
body the sense of sitting on a seat maybe. Here is oneness being
aliveness as this.
No effort is needed for that aliveness to be. Nobody is doing aliveness. Is
anybody doing sitting on a chair? Thinking is oneness thinking "I don't get
where this is going", or "this is too simple". All is simply aliveness,
oneness, being. It cannot be taught or achieved. Who is apart from being
to achieve being? Who can lose or gain this when this is all there is?
Resisting oneness is oneness resisting. Seeking oneness is oneness seeking
itself.
Aliveness is oneness apparently happening. Aliveness is being alive. There
is only being and the nature of that being is emptiness and fullness,
nothing and everything, movement and repose.
In that wholeness arises the idea "I am a separate individual". This seems
to be the beginning of a dream called "me being someone in a world with
which I have to negotiate".
Here in this separation is the root of all fear and feeling of disquiet coming
out of a sense of loss. Again it is the appearance of oneness, and in that
appearance we embark on a journey in which we meet parents, teachers,
maybe priests, bosses and lovers, and learn how to get what we think we
want seemingly through personal choice and effort. The pursuit of
pleasure and the avoidance of pain generate transient experiences of
gratification and disappointment. The whole manifestation that we call
life is simply the drama of oneness looking for itself, for all desire is the
longing for oneness.
For some the idea of enlightenment seems to offer the promise of
fulfilment. However, the separate individual can only dream individuality.
That is its function.
Inevitably in the search for enlightenment, the dream seeker is attracted
to a dream teaching that promotes and reinforces the idea of individual
choice and effort, which, through discipline and sacrifice, can lead to the
promised ultimate experience of enlightenment. But this teaching
reinforces the illusion that there is such a thing as an individual who has
free will and the choice to become.
What is inseparable from the dream of individuality is the idea of
ownership. "What is happening is happening to me. I have a life called me
and I can, or even should, do something with my life in the time allotted I
have to succeed. I am an individual and personal endeavour can bring me
what I need." This misconception promotes the continuation of the dream
of personal enlightenment.
The idea that presumes the possibility that dualistic practices can lead the
apparent seeker to the nondualistic perception is similar to the idea that
with sufficient effort and determination you can teach a blind man to see.
To quote "Doctrines, processes and progressive paths which seek
enlightenment only exacerbate the problem they address by reinforcing
the idea that the apparent self can find something it presumes it has lost.
It is that very effort, that investment in selfidentity that continuously recreates the illusion of separation from oneness. This is the veil which we believe exists. It is the dream of individuality." (The Open Secret)
Out of all the many awakenings that have been described to me, it is
continuously confirmed that one of the first realisations that arises is the
seeing that noone awakens. And yet we see that the majority of teachings,
both traditional and contemporary, are constantly speaking to an apparent
separate seeker (subject) and recommending that in order to attain
enlightenment (object) they should choose to meditate, selfenquire,
purify, cultivate understanding, still the mind and the ego, surrender, be
honest, seek earnestly, give up seeking, do therapy, do nothing, be here
now, and so on . . . the ideas are as endless and as complicated as the mind
from where they are generated.
These recommendations arise from the belief that the "enlightenment" of
the "teacher" has been attained or earned through the application of
choice, effort, acceptance or surrender, and that other seekers can be
taught to do the same
Of course there can be nothing right or wrong with earnest seeking,
meditation, selfenquiry, understanding and so on. They are simply what
they appear to be. But who is it that is going to choose to make the effort?
Where is the effort going to take the apparent chooser to? where
is there to go if there is only oneness?
If there is no separate individual there is no volition, and so how can an
illusion dispel itself?
There is no person that becomes enlightened. Noone
awakens. Awakening is the absence of the illusion of individuality. Already there is only
awakeness, oneness, timeless being, radical aliveness. When the dream
seeker is no more it is seen (by no one)
that there is nothing to seek and
no one to become liberated.
Here is oneness, the realisation of wholeness that cannot be attained or
owned. This is the awakening in which the awareness of what is arises
together with the dreaming of that which cannot be known. There can be a
dance between dreaming and being, and in that dance there can be a
return to the fascination of personal ownership.
However, the realisation that the dream seeker is also oneness is
liberation, the uncaused, impersonal, silent stillness which is the
celebration of unconditional love. This is all there is.
There is no me or you, no seeker, no enlightenment, no disciple and no
guru. There is no better or worse, no path or purpose, and nothing that
has to be achieved.
All appearance is source. All that apparently manifests in the hypnotic
dream of separation the world, the life story, the search for home, is one
appearing as two the nothing appearing as everything, the absolute
appearing as the particular.
There is no separate intelligence weaving a destiny and no choice
functioning at any level. Nothing is happening but this, as it is, invites the
apparent seeker to rediscover that which is . . . the abiding, uncaused,
unchanging, impersonal silence from which unconditional love overflows
and celebrates. It is the wonderful mystery.

NEW PARADIGM TEACHING

Posted on Apr 2nd, 2008 by karam : Crazy Wisdom karam
New paradigm spiritual teachers claim no authority over others.
They do not pretend to have the answers for others.
They speak only of their own experience.
They invite others to share in what they have learned from their experience, and to draw whatever conclusions they will.
They do not take responsibility for what others choose to see.
They do not preach. They do not try to fix.
They simply accept others as they are and encourage others to find their own truth.
They empower. They see the light in others and encourage it.
They do not close their eyes to the darkness, but they know it is ultimately of no significance.
When love is present, the darkness dissolves in its light.

They do not deny the darkness or go to battle against it. They know there is nothing wrong, no evil to oppose, no battles to fight. They just gently encourage the light. They know the light itself will heal all wounds.
New paradigm teachers do not try to heal others. They encourage others to heal themselves through self acceptance and self love. They model unconditional love by listening deeply and compassionately, without judging or trying to fix.

The old paradigm teacher wants to heal others and save the world. The new paradigm teacher knows that others are fine the way they are and the world is already redeemed. Why is this? Has the new paradigm teacher closed her eyes? Doesn't she see the suffering in the world, the environmental catastrophe, the endemic violence? Oh yes, she sees the struggle and the pain, but she has a different interpretation of them. She does not believe that people are guilty or that the world is doomed. She sees the vast call for love. She sees the universal cry for acceptance and understanding. And that is what she gives.

Not fixing. Not salvation. Not intellectual remedies for physical problems. Does she give food and medical supplies if they are needed?
Of course, but she remembers to whom she is giving them. She remembers the call and she answers it. She knows that food is helpful, but it is not the solution to the problem. It is not what is being asked for.
What is asked for is love. Love is the only food. Love is what she gives.
As soon as you see a problem that needs fixing, you have disempowered the person standing before you. Do not do this. Do not accept the pose of powerlessness. There are no victims in the world.

If you see a beggar, do not be taken in. Ask him instead "Why are you standing here begging on this street corner, Oh greatone?" Let him know that you see who he really is. Look into his eyes and see his divinity with your own, and then ask him how you can be of help.You see, powerlessness is a great disguise. Look behind the veil and say "I remember YOU, brother."
Do not just give the beggar money and walk on without acknowledging him. If you wish to give him money, do so. But do not pass by without acknowledging him. For it is not money he needs, but your love, your blessing, your acknowledgment.
You are not here to fix his life, but to honor him. If you can do this for him, I will do the same for you. For I am not here to fix you, but to call you to yourself Can you hear? I am speaking to you the same words you said to him: "I remember you, brother. I remember who you are. "

The new paradigm spiritual teacher is content to be a brother or a sister.
Content to be the friend. He has met the inner teacher and put all outer authorities aside.
And so he does not come to you offering help or asking for it. He comes to you as an equal partner. He treats you as he would like to be treated. And he treats the person next to you the same. There is no pecking order, no preferences. He does not ask you to follow him. He doesn't trade his knowledge for sexual favors. He does not judge you, isolate you or invalidate your experience. He remains always an equal brother or sister.
When he stands next to you, it is as though you stand next to me. For, in truth, all three of us stand together in that equality. And in that equality is the entire wayward world redeemed.

Presence

Posted on Apr 1st, 2008 by karam : Crazy Wisdom karam
Presence.
Just — Presence.
You are present and aware.
‘Feel into’ this presence that you are.
Do not imagine anything, just feel into it.
It is not an object, yet it contains all apparent objects.
It is not a subject, yet it contains all apparent subjects.
It has no specific qualities, yet it contains all qualities equally.
Simple presence.
The Ultimate Reality is That.
It is thoughtless, yet it contains all thought.
It is not imaginary, yet it contains all imagination.
Presence.
“I am Presence and nothing other than That”.
