Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Spiritual Counseling - Ancient Mysticism meets Quantum Physics

By Jason Lincoln Jeffers


Einstein once said, "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible." What if science, philosophy, and spirituality have been on tangential paths in their pursuit of the truth about creation, each one stemming from distinct perceptions of reality but ultimately converging at a singular point of divine truth?

I believe that it's just a matter of time before a unified field theory or "one theory of everything" is proposed and proven to be true. There is indeed a divine order to the cosmos, an underlying intelligence. Some define this intelligence as physics and leave it at that. But is it so hard to comprehend that science and divine intelligence (God) are one and the same? After all, in the end, everything stems from the Source.

In quantum mechanics there is a property known as entanglement or non-local connection. This is not a theory but a real phenomenon. The physicists John Bell and Alain Aspect established that the universe at its most basic level is nonlocal. It proves that information doesn't need to travel from point A to point B because it doesn't need to travel at all. It is omnipresent. This interpretation presents us with the vision of a participatory universe in which everything is unified and interdependent; a seamless Whole.

Einstein called entanglement "spooky action at a distance," and it has been demonstrated repeatedly through experimentation. It is the way in which two or more particles of energy sharing common origins become correlated to predictably interact with each other, even if these particles are separated over large distances. In other words, they remain interlinked, interconnected, one with each other, even though they appear to be separate.

What's truly amazing about their entanglement is that their communication is much faster than the speed of light. It appears to be operating instantaneously, at the speed of, well, thought. It's as if the spacetime in between the two objects being measured doesn't even exist. Perhaps this is because these interacting objects are connected somewhere beyond the realm of spacetime. Or in a word: Consciousness.

In a sense, the human body is entangled with the Earth because the body responds to the Earth's natural biorhythms and circadian cycles. No doubt, the female's menstrual cycle is quantum entangled with the cycles of the Moon. The ancient art of astrology is an example of entanglement with the planets, stars, and constellations of the heavens.

In his September 19, 2009 Sirius XM radio show, Deepak Chopra interviewed physicist Michio Kaku, and commented on this nonlocal phenomenon, saying, "You know, the more I hear about quantum entanglement, it sounds like a mathematical description of omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence." Dr. Kaku responded, "That's what it leads to. Their theory says that I exist because you look at me, somebody looks at you so you exist, so who looks at her? Who looks at us? Well, God."

Quantum physics was discovered through the study of the motion of elementary particles at the atomic and subatomic level, so it is assumed that this nonlocal phenomenon must also be confined to the submicroscopic world. I believe this to be a narrow-minded view of what entanglement is really revealing to us. Nonlocal connections between humans have been experienced in such phenomena as synchronicity, mental telepathy and psychic phenomena. Mystics, oracles, artists, yogis, sages, and shamans have been transcending the local mind and accessing nonlocal Unity Consciousness for millenia.

The property of quantum entanglement is clear evidence in support of Unity Consciousness. It demonstrates that the physical universe (spacetime) is preceded by a "behind the scenes" mind. How else can these particles interact as if a Unified Field of Consciousness didn't exist? The property of entanglement even defies Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.

Mind before matter is the correct order of the equation to creation, not matter manifesting itself randomly or spontaneously before mind. Physical matter is nothing less than an expression of divine intelligence giving it the command: "Make it so."

Spiritual Life Coaching: Exercises for Self Transcendence

By Jason Lincoln Jeffers


The following Spiritual Life Coaching exercises, if practiced regularly, can help you to become conscious of your ego, create a space between your egoic mind and your pure consciousness, and begin your path toward self transcendence:

When you find yourself desiring material things that you can't afford, consider it. Ask yourself, "Do I really need this? Or do I want this because it makes me feel superior to others?" If the answer is the latter, then let the desire go.

When you find your inner dialogue comparing or contrasting another to your status in life, stop. Be still and watch what your ego is saying. Become a silent observer. Don't resist, just watch. Know that this is your ego's need to feel either superior or inferior to others and nothing more. In truth, everyone is equal. No one is superior or inferior to you in any way.

When your inner dialogue says negative things to you such as, "I'm not smart enough, good enough, or talented enough to do this or that," or, "It's the story of my life," or, "It's always something," stop. Be still and observe the ego silently from a detached, higher perspective. Know that this negative reinforcement is manifesting your own dismal reality and the reason that the problems keep coming back is because of this inner dialogue.

When you find your thoughts obsessing over a negative perception of your body such as your weight or looks, stop. Be still. Observe these thoughts from a detached perspective. Be cognizant that these obsessive thoughts are keeping you stuck in a state of dissatisfaction and that your ego distorts reality into a false self-perception. Your reality is being created by this negative identification.

The next time someone tries to initiate an argument with you, stop. Be still. Don't contribute to their emotional violence. Understand that it is their ego that needs to feel superior to you. Act from the level of the heart and see through the veil of the egoic mind. By not reacting to their need for emotional violence, you've already won. This is the power of self transcendence.

When a dark thought about another arises, do not dwell in judgment. Remain still and centered in your heart. Then ask yourself: "Have I not exhibited this same behavior before?"

Stop thinking about another when you first meet them. By taking egoic thoughts out of the equation, you allow a space of non-judgment and acceptance between you and your new acquaintance. Withhold the projecting of your past experiences with others on to your new experiences with others. Begin every new experience in a pure place of non-thinking, peaceful presence. That's called unconditional love.

Realize that events alone are not enough to disturb people but rather their reaction to the events. When you find your mind in a state of discord, conflict, anger, or frustration, never hold anyone or anything but your own judgment accountable. An unconscious person always blames the other for his or her own problems. To blame oneself is only the beginning of enlightenment. The master blames neither the Self nor the other.
