Dying in Order to Create

Dying in Order to Create
40 comments

You are dying at every moment so that you can keep creating yourself.

You are not in the world; the world is in you. This, the main tenet of the one reality, also means that you are not in your body; your body is in you. You are not in your mind; your mind is in you.

There is no place in the brain where a person can be found. Your brain consumes not one molecule of glucose to maintain your sense of self, despite the millions of synaptic bursts that sustain all the things that self is doing in the world.

So when we say that the soul leaves a person’s body at the moment of death, it would be more correct to say that the body leaves the soul. The body is already coming and going; now it leaves without coming back.

The soul can’t leave because it has nowhere to go. This radical proposition needs a bit of discussion because, if you aren’t already going anywhere when you die, you must be there already. This is one of those paradoxes from quantum physics whose understanding depends upon knowing where things come from in the first place.

When you bring a memory to mind, you are actualizing an event. Synaptic firings produce the memory, replete with visuals, taste, and smell if you want them.

That is, you have the potential for memory, which is infinitely vaster than a single memory but nowhere in sight. This field extends invisibly in all directions; the hidden dimensions we’ve been discussing can all be explained as different fields embedded in one infinity field, which is being itself.

You are the field.

Horatio your input is very exciting. It mirrors my own perception and growing excitement about the unity of Eastern philosophy, and also schools of "Occult/Magical" thought (that have met with so much derision) and Quantum physics,child of "Western" linear logic. I am SO looking forward to everything you will be saying.

Horatio G.

Dr. Deepak Chopra’s insight regarding prayer and its relationship to consciousness, his insight regarding the importance of acknowledging, and making an attempt to understand, the unseen, unknowable reality relationship of the inner-world experience of every human being and our connection to the universe is profoundly provocative. Over the centuries, the same notions have repeatedly come to light and endured. For eons these revelations have been the basis of Eastern philosophy.


The insights of Dr. Chopra, and others, have seemingly undeniable connections between our ever-growing knowledge of quantum physics and our understanding of consciousness.

The issue of God, whether God exists or not, in my mind is not debatable. In my mind, God is as good a synonym as any other word for this unseen, unknowable, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient reality. The world just needs to adjust to new ways of thinking. I view myself ideologically as a secular humanist, which in my mind should not be interpreted that I am an agnostic or atheist. I suppose I am in the Muslim-Judaic-Christian … view an atheist, but not within the sense of this new definition.

There are so many hidden dimensions that are a part of our existence. We only understand, and not completely, that which is in our dimension governed by our law of physics.

Life’s purpose for all human beings is our evolution. It is important to understand that “Dying in Order to Create” is as impor

Infinite wisdom
Our GOD
Does possess
All the things
That is needed
To right the wrongs
Of each plan needing
Further creation
Then GOD
Command that all Holy Angels
Listen, heed and hear
The call and cry from each falling
Tear

On that day
GOD announced
Tears while falling from MY children's eyes
Know the source of joy or pain
MY loved ONE is feeling
The tears
Would send out an alarm
To MY Holy Angels

But
Soon tears
Disappear
And they are no longer

When finally resting and dissipating
Each tear would become
_GODS GOLDEN LEAVES
Of summon and remembrance

.GOLDEN LEAVES. SUMMON ANGELS
To earth they must come

_GODS GOLDEN LEAVES
TELL the TALES
Of all the tears
To GODS HOLY ANGELS
Some sent are strong
Some sent for comfort
Some come
With a song
Swiftly
As each tear falls
Another Angel is soon
Arriving

Were the tears falling?
From a suffering child
Or where the tears of Joy
To beckon
The Heavenly Host

While traveling down
Life's pathway
Roads are strewn with rocks and stones
Sometimes the burdens are so
Heavy
That the traveler looses their abode
Struggling with life's
Tribulations

Caring and loving others
Getting nothing
In return
Binds MY travelers
With cares
Grief and despair

With each tear
That falls to the ground
Another _.GOLDEN LEAF . is birthed
Summoning the Holy Angels

While on life's pathway,
The way to you, my
.LUSCIOUS LOVELY LADY.
My thoughts were of you
Your voice, eyes, lovely face
You're deep compassion
And
The pulsating passion
We possess for one another

A stone was near the pathway
I thought I would sit
And ponder
Eyes closed, I leaned back
I felt something fall on my face

As I reached to brush it away
I heard a little voice say
We need to talk

I sat up and looked around
Looking for who was talking
I heard a little voice
Say again
We need to talk


Saying
I fell to the ground
Picked up by the wind
I have arrived at my
Destination

I leaned back again
To rest and ponder
A gentle breeze brushed across my face

Again
I felt something on my face
A little voice
Said again
We need to talk

Pensive in thought
At rest I am
I'm not going to worry or fret
What is on my face?
Makes no matter
I will rest a little?
Longer?
I lay there without a care
Just you on my mind
Your smiles, embrace, your lovely face
Your touch and voice singing
That brought a
Reprieve to my mind and soul
At the will of my
.LUSCIOUS LOVELY LADY.

Again I heard
A small voice, again
Saying
We need to talk.
Suddenly I thought
I will try
And ask a question
I said
Who is talking?

Then the little voice said
It is me ONE of _GODS GOLDEN LEAVES.
Resting on
Your face
Could that be? A

After their warning
They were
Strewn all around
Waiting for a gentle breeze
To carry them on
Their way.

What could the .GOLDEN LEAF .TELL?
About this day
Or
What could it know?
About the past or
Tomorrow?

At rest I stayed
I was not dismayed
I knew
I deserved more
Answers
Nearly asleep
I heard a little sigh
The .GOLDEN LEAF .
Was against MY ear
Saying

Please hearken and listen to me
If the wind blows
I may loose MY place
And be
Thrust in the air
The Tales
I need to tell
Could be lost forever

TALES are TOLD
Mysteries come and
GO
Dreams so vibrant go away
Sometimes to recall
Puts one in a quandary
Some people said
Alone am I
No one have I
To care for
Me

Long Ago
Ages Past
GOD saw another need
For HIS people
Holy Angels stood at the MASTERS
Beck and call
Waiting the MASTERS
Command to go

Everywhere

GOD
Said
Each tear that falls
From MY loved ONES eyes
Can tell its story

Angels seeing tears
From GODS children's eyes
Said
Who should go?
Who should stay?
GOD we need a Master
To look and see
The reason
Why each ONE is crying
After looking and reporting
What should be done?

Of joy pain and fears

Remember it well
And often tell
All that you love
Who is the ONE crying?
Be anticipating
For the Holy Angels
They are coming
To bring
What is needed?
At GODS LIGHTING SPEED

If joy was the tear
Angels will soon appear
Singing, rejoicing and
Dancing


If sadness grief or pain
Was the tear?
Then the Angels to appear
Will stay and stay
Bringing comfort, strength and courage
To carry some of the
Heavy load
On the travelers pathway

Remember what I say
Soon some day
You will know
That .GOLDEN LEAVES.
Can tell you
Many things
You strive to know.

A _ GOLDEN LEAF .
Must await a gentle breeze from GOD
To get from there to you
They have no path to go along
They expect a gentle breeze
Knowing when they arrive
At their destination
They will please and enlighten

The .GOLDEN LEAVES.
Broadcast and tell
Of the travelers
Up and down life's pathway
Sometimes weary
Sometimes bold
Then
Looking and searching
For the ONES
That loved the ONE that cried
Going and telling
What they knew
To who would listen

Where is MY wife?
I said,
Have you seen her?
Yes

The long journey for your

Has ended

At rest she awaits
Happy, oh how happy
You will be
When you see her, your

Her mind, body and soul thirst and thrust
In exhalation
Waiting with anticipation
For your simile, charm ,
Your strong arms
To Wisk her away

Don't deny
The GODLY sense
In you to reflect, mourn and wail
Or to Rejoice and Shout

That it is time to make a

Bring in the .ROBE of HOPE.

Abound on the ground
Waiting for a gust of MY wind
To carry to you the ONE

MY Children we are celebrating
Dedicating this event to ALL who
Learned early on
To have and show
Human emotion

Which to ME is pure
Devotion
To ALL MY Children on MY earth
And ME in Heaven
Above

When there has been no
Tears.
Many will die
Having never lived
A life worth living

Time
Comes and goes
Leaving little. .GOLDEN LEAVES.
Strewn here and there
Marking all the tears
That have fallen

The wind of time blows
Little .GOLDEN LEAVES.
They fly away
They are on their way
To loved ONES
To TELL the TALE
Of ALL the tears
That have fallen

SOLITARY SAD EMOTIONS IS
A TIME FOR DEVOTIONS

Where do we run when all our steam is gone?
When we look at beauty and say oh hum
When we hold some one dear to us
And then say oh that’s enough

Maybe we need an overhaul
Maybe our gears are slipping
Maybe our sparkplugs don't work right anymore
Or is it that we have forgotten HIS door?

It is probably the door that we knew was there all along
But with the toils of life and all the other things
We have forgotten to knock
HE has always been there waiting
For all who wanted to talk

Without us walking up to it
And gently knocking on HIS door
There is not much solace waiting

So during those times of SAD EMOTIONAL WELL BEING
That is a good sign we need a DEVOTIONAL HEALING
HE is always home and willing
HE wants to do the caring
HE wants to take all our burdens and scares

So when the tide of our spiritual EMOTIONS IS OUT
And we are lower than a snail
It is time that we walk up and knock
Forget about the clock
And stay in HIS presence as long as it takes
To get going again with a sudden burst of
DEVOTIONAL EMPOWERED
EMOTIONAL WELL BEING
