No one can do anything to you unless
you think or feel they can.
I’m in the underground. The rebels,
to defend themselves, hide in the woods or mountains. They know their terrain
and use it to their advantage. Pigsy is only powerful at night when he’s drunk,
when he’s out to impress his girlfriend, or in the daytime on his own when he
feels powerful enough - which isn’t all the time, and he’s too cowardly for
that. He has to be in the right mood or has to be sickly gentle and appear
totally harmless to disarm those around him.
So, the way I am handling the
situation is natural. I have an enemy who lives in the same house. I have the
means to hide and evade, and to use definite measures and preparations in my
‘dark woodland.’ I have to ignore his intimidation tactics, and do things my
way. He is wound up. I shouldn’t allow him to weaken my position. I should
increase my own power.
Caine (David Carradine): A threat cannot
harm unless you accept it.
Don
Emilio (Henry
Darrow): I do not accept it, but I feel the weight of it.

Fu (Season 2, Episode 4, ‘The Brujo,’ 1973).
They rely on your fears for their
power over you.
“Bullies are always cowards at heart
and may be credited with a pretty safe instinct in scenting their prey.” - Anna
Julia Cooper.
The undisciplined man is dangerous.
He needs earthing. He can get too carried away. When the masculine force is
take too far one loses sight of wisdom, of the other, of the world. Once simply
exists - ‘is,’ an animal.
The (psychic) Pigsy mirror: anything
that is directed from him to me is reflected back a thousandfold. But, when I
started doing this, someone [‘P’] asked what I was doing. He suggested using
pink light and a gold band of protection in the flat, as shown to him
(clairvoyantly from a spirit guide). [Retrospective note: I practised this
daily, visualising the interior of my flat and the gardens and hallway as being
filled with pink light with a band of gold light around the perimeter from this
time right up to a few months after he moved out].
Accept karma and shit with GRACE and
let go of the stress!
“The law of karma is impartial and
inexorable. It knows no concessions, gives no preferences, makes no exceptions.
It dispenses justice. By the divine law you are shielded from remembrance of
past lives, for it would not help you in living your present life but would
make it infinitely more complicated and confusing.” - Meher Baba (The Everything and the Nothing, Avatar
Meher Baba Perpetual Public Charitable Trust, Ahmednagar, India, 1989, p.53-54).
The Lords of Karma set the lessons
in stone and then we just have to get on and endure them in order to hopefully
learn and overcome our weaknesses. No one can alter the path on which fate
takes us but there is, I believe, a degree of flexibility, depending on
circumstance and personal progress. We are free to look for ways of improving
our lot in life and we can also pray for help. Our guides may then ask those
higher up in the cosmic hierarchy on our behalf if anything can be done to
improve the situation with which we are struggling. There are, however, no
guarantees that anything will work. If nothing improves then we must find the
grace and fortitude, the patience and humility, to accept our destiny. Alas,
too often, a feeling of hopelessness or even despair sets in, rooting us in
cynicism and bitterness. The door to Light is shut firmly in our minds and
locked, the key thrown away even. Then, we may never ask gain or make future
attempts to create our own lives which, ultimately, we have the power to do,
individual and collective karma notwithstanding.
“Do not be afraid to invoke all the
protection you need.” - Gildas (channelled through Ruth White, Gildas Communicates, Neville Spearman

“There is a saying in Tibetan,
‘Tragedy should be utilised as a source of strength.’ No matter what sort of
difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real
disaster.” - The Dalai Lama.
The Ancient Chinese Ru Jia teachings
(Confucian education) state: “A good person should be able to stand any
difficulty and accept their fate and overcome their problems.”
“‘Ye have been tried and buffeted by
the strange force which men call Fate, but which we call the steps of Destiny;
for there is no blind bludgeoning, but life is a sequence of events each of
which hath its purpose and effect; and infinite care is given to each unit of
the Universal Spirit. Yet in no way can we control the will, but each is free
to refuse the call of the Great Father. Yet to all the offspring of the Eternal
Spirit cometh the hour when the voice is heard and the Divine element is raised
from its deathlike slumber.’” - St. Francis (The
Shining Brother. Recording the spirit return of St. Francis of Assisi and its
sequel Francis Speaks Again by Laurence
Temple, Psychic Press, London,
U.K., 1941).
Be really, really nice. Be friendly.
Open up to all. Be happy and loving. Exaggerated. Caricature. Theatrical and
expressive like an Italian! To show its beauty - totally free, safe, no harm.
Like Daevid Allen on stage!

“Kiss your life. Accept it, just as

“Mary Magdalen made several
references in our conversations to ‘those aligned with the New Earth.’ When we
asked her what would qualify those in alignment with this New Earth, she
replied without hesitation, ‘No guilt. No shame. No regrets.’” - The Magdalen Manuscript. The Alchemies of
Horus & The Sex Magic of Isis (Tom Kenyon and Judi Sion, Sounds True,
Inc., Boulder, Co, U.S., 2002, p.311). Tom Kenyon notes elsewhere that the
Egyptian deity Maat weighs the dead person’s heart with a feather on the other
side and that the heart must therefore be as light as a feather. This
means, he says, that one’s needs to not be weighed down by ‘regrets, guilt and
shame.’ (ibid. p.134).
“The
important thing about this shame is to know that you inherited it in your
genes. On planet Earth, it just comes with the territory, but shame is so
deeply a part of having a physical body that it never gets examined for what it
is: a condition of being incarnate. And every time anyone says something like,
‘You should be ashamed of yourself,’ the knife turns in the wound, because at a
very deep level, you agree with it. Of course, you all set the game of
separation up this way. You couldn’t just pretend
to be separate from Spirit. You had to make it realistic in order for the game
to work, and you have found that shame works very well indeed! Shame lies at the
centre of every cell of your physical body. Normally, at death, you can leave
this shame behind in the cells, but in order to ascend with the body, this energy must be released from your cells.” –
Serapis (channelled through Tony Stubbs, An
Ascension Handbook, p.75-76, The Book Guild Ltd, Sussex, U.K., 1991).
“Life is the game that must be
played.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson.
Lazaris
tells us that there are two types of shame. Ego shame relates to things you
have done or thought; concrete incidents in your thought or reality (which also
produces self-sabotage). The shame of being, he says, is what the Bible
attempts to deal with through the concept of Original Sin. “There is a shame
just for being,” he observes; ‘just because I exist.’
“Guilt is
a waste of time and only serves to perpetuate denial. Now is the time to heal.”
- Barefoot Doctor (Dear
Barefoot. Taoist Wisdom For Everyday Living, Atlantic Books on behalf of
Guardian Newspapers Ltd, London, U.K., 2004, p.302).
“In another elaboration on the same triad [by RA],
the teaching of ‘know yourself/accept yourself/become the Creator,’ they also
gave us this one: ‘forgiveness of self/acceptance of self/and direction of the
will’ as essential to the spiritual path.
When
we consider what, ‘acceptance of self’ means, then we're talking about the
fourth centre - the ability to say that, ‘I love my hatred, I love my sorrow…I
accept my sorrow, I accept my cowardice, I accept my fears, I accept my
addictive drives, I accept my pettiness, I accept my rage and vindictiveness,’
and so on! Can you do it? Why not? Frankly, these tendencies and patterns are
also ‘not you.’"

Sahaja yoga means: what is, is; be
it. Don't try to be unnatural. Know that which is, accept it and live with it.
Then a revolution is certain. He who accepts what is and lives it is bound to
change...Sahaja yoga means: don't deceive yourself. Know and accept yourself
exactly as you are and how you are without any reservations. If you do so,
mutation will happen instantly. Mutation happens simultaneously with
understanding and acceptance. Then you will not have to wait for it. Will one
wait till tomorrow if his house is on fire and he knows it? He will get out of
his house in a split second.
The
day we fully see our life as it is - and it is a house on fire - the moment of
mutation arrives. But we have our own deceptive ways. The house is on fire and
we have decorated its interior with flowers. Our hands are in chains and we
have coated the chains with gold, and so while we see the glitter of gold we
fail to see the chains. We are full of illnesses and wounds, but we have
covered our wounds with colourful bandages, and we see the colours and not the
wounds behind them.
This
deception is so deep and vast that we spend our lifetime in it and the moment
of mutation does not come. We go on postponing that moment. Death comes, but
not the moment that had been postponed. We die, but we do not change; we are
simply incapable of changing.
The
change, the mutation can happen any moment really. Sahaja yoga says: live with
what is, and you will be transformed. You don't have to make efforts to change;
truth changes. Jesus says, ‘Truth liberates.’ But we don't know the truth. We
live in lies, we live in untruths; but we decorate our untruths before we live
with them. And untruth binds, while truth liberates. Even the most painful
truth is better than the most pleasant lie. The pleasant untruth is really
dangerous. It will bind you; it will be your bondage. And even the painful truth
is liberating, even its pain is liberating. So live with the painful truth, and
don't harbour lies however pleasant they may be. This is the whole of sahaja
yoga.
This
is the whole of sahaja yoga. And then comes samadhi, ecstasy or awakening, or
whatsoever you call it. You will not have to seek samadhi; it will come on its
own.
Cry
when you want to cry, and laugh when you want to laugh, and know that it is
happening.
“We choose love, joy, peace and compassion over fear and war. Take time
to honour the holiness of coincidence and the sacredness of truth.” - Carlos
Santana.
Our common view is simple and justified by common
sense; however, it is childish when held up to consideration of Logoic Plan and
primacy of the Law of Free Will in interdimensional soul evolution. The common
spiritual novice view is this:
Human/cosmic
evil is bad and should be opposed and eliminated.
This
notion stems from our own subjective bias that values love and all it implies:
equity, justice, freedom, goodwill, and harmonious social structure - and there
is nothing inherently wrong in it. However, all that exists is allowed to exist,
and the Creator has granted primacy to free will in soul progression to allow
us to choose our own paths of polarised self-development (what RA terms
‘service to self’ and ‘service to other’ - the ways of seeking separation
and/or unity).
To
Logoic being, evil is neither mistake nor tragedy, and the misery that plagues
humanity is fully warranted by its own personal and collective karmic
inheritance. No, the Creator does not punish, but rather, souls self-generate
their own life conditions in both individual and collective formation, and all
souls choose their own circumstance to catalyse learning and growth. This is
one of the cornerstones of basic metaphysics.
“Karma is not, as most people believe it to be, a ‘debt’ one owes to
others due to some past interaction which was left somehow ‘incomplete,’ or
something you did ‘wrong’ to someone else or they did wrong to you, and now the
‘score will be settled.’ ‘Right’ and ‘wrong’ actions do not create karma, and
cannot take it away. Karma does have to do with your interactions with others,
as well as yourself, but not in the sense of a debt owed. Karma is simply your
unreceived emotions which are created when a person will not allow their
feelings to move - to be felt - at the time they are happening, which is always
‘in the moment.’ So, when you have placed restrictions on the reception of your
emotions, you in effect create your ‘karma,’ which is to say that you then will
- consciously or unconsciously - re-create situations in your life so that you
will have the opportunity to receive feelings which you have created before and
chosen NOT to receive. The reason that karma seems to be related to specific
other people is that it is these people who hold specific
reflections for us, and these reflections are what stimulate the feelings
seeking to be received.” - Vywamus (‘Karma, Feelings and Self-Transformation,’
channelled through Halsey Snow and Pat Marston-Snow, www.vywamusfoundation.com/karma.htm).
“Inevitably,
when you make an action, you set ripples moving, as does a stone when it is
thrown into still waters. You may not be aware of the extent of those ripples
until you are able to see them from the perspective of the between-life state.
When you become aware of the effects which you have caused (positive as well as
negative), you take this information back to your soul stem or strand.
Decisions are then made as to what needs to be done to bring about balance once
more. Guides, helpers and karmic advisers will probably be consulted as well as
other members of your soul family and group. The emphasis is on the best action
which may be taken to improve the consciousness of your soul stem and enhance
the experience of the group. There is no question of punishment, only of
learning and expansion. Although springing from the same soul stem or strand it
is a new personality which will take on the tasks to be completed and the new
ground to be explored...Karma is about learning through self-definition,
integrity and increasing clarity. It is not a treadmill or life-sentence.
Incarnation is not a form of exile.” - Gildas (channelled through Ruth White, A
Message of Love. A Channelled Guide to Our Future, Piatkus, London, U.K.,
1994, p.71-73).
“With the
energies moving as quickly as they are, many people may be creating their
perfect storms and you may see others in crisis. While that may seem scary, it
is indicating accelerated growth and great opportunities for forward movement.
Remember, if the energies are moving that quickly it also means that people can
move through healing and into greater levels of understanding and connectedness
in record time as well. The days of long, drawn out, slow moving growth are
long gone. Harness the wonderful opportunities these energies offer and ride
the wave with the complete assurance that all movement is forward movement.” -

Comedian
Russell Peters, on stage in a stand up show (Comedy Now, U.S., 2006), greets a Chinese man in the front row:
“How are
you doing bro’? Didn’t you try to sell me a purse earlier? What’s your name?
No, the Chinese guy. You’re the black guy. But, you know, whatever makes you
happy, you know what I mean? My Chinese friend, what’s your name, sir? Anthony!
That’s what I thought when I looked actually. I looked right down and thought,
that’s an Anthony there, that’s right. Do you have a Chinese name as well,
Anthony? What’s your Chinese name? Say it proper, however Chinese people say
your name. Don’t go ‘Anthony’ [in a sheepish manner]. I don’t want that…I want
the proper Chinese version! [in a
Chinese tone]. What’s the Chinese name? ‘Pat Fung Bong’ [mimics the
pronunciation]. Doesn’t that mean you’re going to get high? What’s the Chinese
name? ‘Pat Fung Bong’ [repeats the pronunciation]. Doesn’t that mean you’re
going to get high? ‘Hey, you wanna pat some bong?’ [pretends to be holding a
bong and covering the bowl with his other hand, patting it whilst inhaling and
getting high]. That’s a wicked name, man! ‘Pat Sum Bong.’ I don’t know if I’m
saying it wrong or not but this is the way it is now, you know? It sounds
cooler than ‘Anthony’ [in a sheepish manner again]. Perhaps you’re ‘Anthony’ by
day [shy and retiring] and Pat Sum Bong!
by night [bold and confident, pushing his chest out]. You could be like a
Chinese superhero, man! [mimics a superhero]. Chinaman! He’s got two chopsticks on his shirt [crosses his index
fingers in front of his chest]. Shooting noodles out of his wrist [mimics
Spider-Man]. Catching criminals with stale fortune cookies [throws one and
portrays it hitting someone’s head, then holds his palm out to read]. ‘Confucius
say: ‘You go to jail. Bad boy!’
