I DON'T AGREE THAT THE BODY NEEDS TO DIE

                                TOWARD A DIFFERENT 

                                       ORDER OF REALITY

                       I DON'T AGREE THAT THE BODY NEEEDS TO DIE. I AM CONVINCED THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY. WE BELIEVE IN DEATH AND THAT'S WHY THE BODY DIES.

                       THE BODY DOES NOT DIE BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN DEATH. THE BODY EXISTS, OR SEEMS TO, BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN DEATH. BODY AND DEATH ARE PART OF THE SAME ILLUSION, CREATED BY THE EGOIC MODE OF CONSCIOUSNESS, WHICH HAS NO AWARENESS OF THE SOURCE OF LIFE AND SEES ITSELF AS SEPARATE AND CONSTANTLY UNDER THREAT. SO IT CREATES HE ILLUSION THAT YOU ARE A BODY, A DENSE, PHYSICAL VEHICLE THAT IS CONTANTLY UNDER THREAT.

                        TO PERCEIVE YOURSELF AS A VULNERABLE BODY THAT WAS BORN AND A LITTLE LATER DIES - THAT'S THE ILLUSION. BODY AND DEATH. ONE ILLUSION. YOU CANNOT HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER. BUT THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE. EITHER YOU KEEP ALL OF IT OR YOU RELINQUISH ALL OF IT.

                    HOWEVER, YOU CANNOT ESCAPE FROM THE BODY, NOR DO YOU HAVE TO. THE BODY IS AN INCREDIBLE MISPERCEPTION OF YOUR TRUE NATURE. BUT YOUR TRUE NATURE IS CONCEALED SOMEWHERE WITHIN THAT ILLUSION, NOT OUTSIDE IT, SO THE BODY IS STILL THE ONLY POINT OF ACCESS TO IT.

                     IF YOU SAW AN ANGEL BUT MISTOOK IT FOR A STONE STATUE, ALL YOU WOULD HAVE TO DO IS ADJUST YOUR VISION AND LOOK MORE CLOSELY AT THE "STONE STATUE", NOT START LOOKING SOMEWHERE ELSE. YOU WOULD THEN FIND THAT THERE NEVER WAS A STONE STATUE.

                      IF BELIEF IN DEATH CREATES THE BODY, WHY DOES AN ANIMAL HAVE A BODY? AN ANIMAL DOESN'T HAVE AN EGO, AND IT DOESN'T BELIEVE IN DEATH...

                  BUT IT STILL DIES, OR SEEMS TO.

                     REMEMBER THAT YOUR PERCEPTION OF THE WORLD IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS. YOU ARE NOT SEPARATE FROM IT, AND THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE WORLD OUT THERE. EVERY MOMENT, YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS CREATES THE WORLD THAT YOU INHABIT. ONE OF THE GREATEST INSIGHTS THAT HAS COME OUT OF MODERN PHYSICS IS THAT OF THE UNITY BETWEEN THE OBSERVING CONSCIOUSNESS - CANNOT BE SEPERATED FROM THE OBSERVED PHENOMENA, AND A DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING CAUSES THE OBSERVED PHENOMENA TO BEHAVE DIFFERENT WAY OF LOOKING CAUSES THE OBSERVED PHENOMENA, TO BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY, IF YOU BELIEVE, ON A DEEP LEVEL, IN SEPARATION AND THE STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL. THEN YOU SEE THAT BELIEF REFLECTED ALL AROUND YOU AND YOUR PERCEPTIONS ARE GOVERED BY FEAR. YOU  INHABIT A WORLD OF DEATH AND OF BODIES FIGHTING, KILLING, AND DEVORING EACH OTHER.

                  NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE. THE WORLD THAT YOU CREATE AND SEE THROUGH THE EGOIC MIND MAY SEEM A VERY IMPERFECT PLACE, EVEN A VALE OF TEARS. BUT WHATEVER YOU PERCEIVE IS ONLY A KIND OF SYMBOL, LIKE AN IMAGE IN A DREAM. IT IS HOW YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS INTERPRETS AND INTERACTS WITH THE MOLECULAR ENERGY DANCE OF THE UNIVERSE. THIS ENERGY IS THE RAW MATERIAL OF SO-CALLED PHYSICAL REALITY. YOU SEE IT IN TERMS OF BODIES AND BIRTH AND DEATH OR AS A STRUGGLE FOR SURVIVAL. AN INFINITE NUMBER OF COMPLETELY DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WORLDS, IS POSSIBLE AND, IN FACT, EXISTS - ALL DEPENDING ON THE PERCEIVING CONSCIOUSNESS. EVERY BEING IS A FOCAL POINT OF CONSCIOUSNESS, AND EVERY SUCH FOCAL POINT CREATES ITS OWN WORLD, ALTHOUGH ALL THOSE WORLDS ARE INTERCONNECTED. THERE IS A HUMAN WORLD, AND ANT WORLD A DOLPHIN WORLD, AND SO ON. THERE ARE COUNTLESS BEINGS WHOSE CONSCIOUSNESS FREQUENCY IS SO DIFFERENT FROM YOURS THAT YOU ARE PROBABLY UNAWARE OF THEIR EXISTENCE, AS THEY OF YOURS. HIGHLY CONSCIOUS BEINGS WHO ARE AWARE OF THEIR CONNECTEDNESS WITH THE SOURCE AND WITH EACH OTHER WOULD INHABIT A WORLD THAT TO YOU WOULD APPEAR AS A HEAVENLY REALM- AND YET ALL WORLDS ARE ULTIMATELY ONE.

                            OUR COLLECTIVE HUMAN WORLD IS LARGELY CREATED THROUGH THE LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS WE CALL MIND. EVEN WITHIN THE COLLECTIVE HUMAN WORLD CONSCIOUSNESS WE CALL MIND.  EVEN WITHOUT THE COLLECTIVE HUMAN WORLD THERE ARE VAST DIFFERENCE, MANY DIFFERENT "SUB-WORLDS", DEPENDING ON THE PERCEIVES OR CREATORS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE WORLDS. SINCE ALL WORLDS ARE INTERCONNECTED, WHEN COLLECTIVE HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS BECOMES TRANSFORMED, NATURE AND THE ANIMAL KINGDOM WILL REFLECT THAT TRANSFORMATION. HENCE THE STATEMENT IN THE BIBLE THAT IN THE COMING AGE, THE LION SHALL LIE DOWN WITH THE LAMB". THIS POINTS TO THE POSSIBILITY  OF A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ORDER OF REALITY.

                       THE WORLD AS IT APPEARS TO US NOW IS, AS I SAID, LARGELY REFLECTION OF THE EGOIC MIND. FEAR BEING AN UNAVOIDABLE CONSEQUENCE OF EGOIC DELUSION, IT IS A WORLD DOMINATED BY FEAR. JUST AS THE IMAGES IN A DREAM ARE SYMBOLS OF INNER STATES AND FEELINGS, SO OUR COLLECTIVE REALITY IS LARGELY A SYMBOLIC EXPRESSION OF FEAR AND OF THE HEAVY LAYERS OF NEGATIVITY THAT HAVE ACCUMULATED IN THE COLLECTIVE HUMAN PSYCHE. WE ARE NOT SEPARATE FROM OUR WORLD, SO WHEN THE MAJORITY OF HUMANS BECOME FROM OF EGOIC DELUSION, THIS INNER CHANGE WILL AFFECT ALL OF CREATION. YOU WILL LITERALLY INHABIT A NEW WORLD. IT IS A SHIFT IN PLANETARY CONSCIOUSNESS. THE STRAGE BUDDHIST SAYING THAT EVERY TREE AND EVERY BLADE OF GRASS WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME ENLIGHTENED POINTS TO THE SAME TRUTH. ACCORDING TO ST.PAUL THE WHOLE OF CREATION IS WAITING FOR HUMANS TO BECOME ENLIGHTENED. THAT IS HOW I INTERPRET HIS SAYING THAT "THE CREATED UNIVERSE IS WAITING WITH EAGER EXPECTATIONS FOR GOD'S SONS TO BE REVEALED". ST. PAUL GOES ON TO SAY THAT ALL OF CREATION WILL  BECOME REDEEMED THROUGH THIS.

                    UP TO THE PRESENT... THE WHOLE CREATED UNIVERSE IN ALL ITS PARTS GROANS AS IF IN THE PANGS OF CHILDBIRTH".
