HAPPY NEW YEAR

I was going to skip blogging today. We have been so busy with this and that. We are having Christmas dinner here, for our friends in the area, and tomorrow we are having a party for Elijah's fifth birthday. However, I caught up with the things I had to do and Grandma, Mom and Grandson went shopping. The house is quiet. I have a few minutes. What's on my mind?

I have noticed in a few conversations, I have had lately, that folks are confused by the word duality. By duality I don't mean the opposites that are extant in our illusion; hot and cold, wet and dry etc. Perhaps we need a different word. I am speaking of the duality that is created by our separation. I won't go over the separation phenomena again. I wrote about at least three times before.

Briefly: when we first incarnated on this planet and formed our bodies, we knew we were one. Since we knew we were everyone else, there was no higher or lower, no better or worse, there was no covetousness, greed, selfishness, lust for power, etc. etc.

Fear is the source of all those. When there was no fear, none of those negative attributes could exist. We developed fear as a result of believing we were separate. I am sure we went for thousands of years before we got so far into the bodily experience that we forgot we were one. First we had the germ of the ego, which was just the awareness of our body limitations, as we negotiated an alien environment. We needed that awareness to protect relatively fragile bodies.

At some point we began to view the world through this miniscule ego. As soon as we perceived the "other" rather than the "other one" fear was born. Others could be seen as higher or lower, richer or poorer, stronger or weaker, better or worse etc. The ego then expands to the degree that it becomes our total awareness. Every position is based on fear and engenders more fear.  If you are strong, you are afraid of weakness. If you are rich, you are afraid of poverty. Soon folks spend vasts amounts of psychic energy protecting their positions or striving for what they think is better.

Duality, as I explain it, is all those attributes we learned from thinking we are separate. So when I talk about duality I am talking about those negative/positive polarities created by our minds, because we don't know we are "one".

So the duality that is fast dissolving is the idea that one human being is any better or worse than anybody else.

WE ARE ALL WORTHY AND NOBODY IS COMPETENT.
Everybody deserves to have a beautiful life and to be loved unconditionally.

Although there is something about feeling competent and it is a very important to feel so. Competency, as a fact, is an illusion. There are no self made men. All people continue to tap into the group mind. The more you access the group mind the more competent you appear. Whether your a surgeon or a bricklayer you are guided by the group mind. The more creative your occupation the more you are likely to be aware of other forces at work besides your individual cosciousness. The Muses in the Ancient Greek culture refer to this awareness.

My main thesis is that today is the day we begin to see our oneness in earnest. All that fear and negativity we have developed by comparing ourselves with others is over.

HAPPY NEW YEAR. Let us build a world of love together.
