subtle resistance to reality

In Rupert Spira's interview on www.batgap.com, he talks about not only investigating the nature of separation (from god, or all that is or the divine or whatever) using thoughts and words, but investigating the nature of separation through feelings. I liked that idea.

I take it to mean examining how one feels about whatever one is doing. As in, "It's freaking cold outside! Ick!" or "Eeesh, I'm driving to work at my job that I don't like." Or it could be a much more subtle feeling of mild annoyance or worry or loneliness. “Darn, I forgot to brush my teeth and now I have to get out of bed again and I’m tired”

Any of these, of course, are a form of resistance to what is. Most of us (me for sure) are doing this often if not constantly. It’s not that we should try NOT to have these feelings. They arise as they will. Rejecting them or pretending that they’re not real is just another form of resistance to what is; another form of denial or separation.

I think what he’s driving at is just being aware of these feelings as they arise which of course requires quite a bit of focus and attention. The only work required is being aware and then examining them, looking at them fully to discover the underlying truth. “Yeah, it IS cold outside. It does that this time of year. It is what is occurring. I’m having a problem with reality why?” Not answering necessarily, just observing then maybe doing some quiet breathing and see what arises. Fun. Treasure! I’m recommitting to that today.

Here's a recent photo of my 'growth' btw. I've not posted one lately because I don't want to scare anyone, but that seems like denying reality or helping others deny reality. I'm doing a lot of work on it to make it get smaller and go away, some science based and some energetic. I'm also going to go see radiation doc on the 12th to see if I want to do some more radiation to shrink the thing some. Today it is not feeling very annoyed at all. No pain, not pushing, not angry, so that's all good.

I stated on my fb page that although it looks dramatically 'bad', I'd like people to see and hold the positive outcome and the healing as there's enough energy floating around that it I'm a short timer or some such vibe. So, help me out by seeing it healed. Thank you, loves. Peace be with you all today.

Quit rolling around in other peoples crap. if u must roll in crap, roll in ur own. you may end up transcending ur own crap but never able to transcend someone elses.
well, is it a dream? Doesn't it all disappear when you quit thinking about it? Like when you go to sleep, what becomes of THIS world? It no longer exists. It's an experience that you are having, it's important (just like in a dream) to show up and do your best and it seems to be recurring. You are in the same house when you wake up and the leftovers in the fridge are still there. Sleep dreaming is generally different than that. Fun to talk about.
Work your stuff and magic happens! AND it's cumulative! That doesn't mean there isn't more crap. How do you know there's more crap? cuz you're still alive here on the dirtball! If we could just realize that when we're stuck in crap that means that we're birthing magic.
which is why I say that the slightest emotional discomfort is like a treasure! (if u lean into it, hang out in it and work it). Otherwise it just sucks! :-)

Consciousness is a process of working our stuff

People think that the world will get better and they will be happier or enlightened or something if they just connect to a higher consciousness or hang out in the chakras above the heart chakra when in fact consciousness is a process of SUBTRACTION! It's like people talk about 'practicing' compassion or understanding the gateless gate thing. Those things are natural outcomes of consciousness. You don't become Christ like by growing a beard and wearing sandals. Ok, so here's the 'bad' news. :-) You can't build higher consciousness by wanting higher consciousness, you get there by removing the filters through which you experience! Those filters are ALL fear based and occur in Chakras 1 and 2 almost exclusively and are stored mostly in chakra 3! This means that all of the dysfynctional programming that you took on as a child, and all the beliefs you carry need to be observed and understood. Examine every feeling, esp the tweaky little negative ones! Consciousness is like pure white light that is experienced by you but it is filtered through the prism of self! If the prism of self is gray and cloudy thats how you experience life! Bottom line...you have to do the sometimes unpleasant work of becoming friends with your baggage!
