"Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity." (Habakkuk 1: 13)The real self can't see what doesn't exist, she can only continue to state what is true, that all is perfect. If you take on board what the real self is telling you the dreamer and believe, you will wake up out of that dream. What is unlike perfection is wiped out and is replaced by the real self perfection. Bear in mind that it's not up to you to wonder about the how for it is wondering that got you in the dream state in the first place. Just know that it is all perfect and let the mystery of the Wonder be.

"All is magnificent. All is marvelous. All is mysterious.Life is Wonder. Wonder is Being. The moment we start wondering about Wonder, we lose our Wonder. It's like Peace. Peace is because Peace is. When you try to understand what it means to be peaceful you make Peace finite.
We live in a world of impossibility, implausibility, and awe. We look, we see, we wonder. We experience the sudden opening to the inexplicable vastness, the weirdness, the overwhelming profundity, the utter miracle and magic of life, of
ourselves, and of all that is.
"These are the numinous moments when the monumental impossibility and spaciousness of existence opens up before and within us, granting us the rare and spectacular interruptions of our day-to-day consciousness. Call it what you will: wonder, awe, satori, samadhi, newness of mind, ignorance, innocence, original mind, or childlike perception- it is the hallmark of a mind which has come to know the incomprehensible magnitude of all and everything, and from which the individual is ‘opened up’ and therefore reunited with the Great Mystery which is our birthright."

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death." (John 8: 51)Is this a metaphor? No, Jesus is speaking plainly and it is relevant for all time. When you realise the truth that only the One Eternal Life exists in all, death is simply going to sleep and waking up in another dream. According to the scriptures, when Jesus raised people from the dead, he never considered them dead but asleep.

"The substance of a dream is held in materialization by the subconscious thought of the dreamer. When that cohesive thought is withdrawn in wakefulness, the dream and its elements dissolve. A man closes his eyes and erects a dream-creation which, on awakening, he effortlessly dematerializes. He follows the divine archetypal pattern. Similarly, when he awakens in cosmic consciousness, he will effortlessly dematerialize the illusions of the cosmic dream." Autobiography of a YogiOnce I had a dream that was so vivid it was as if I was awake, then I realised I was dreaming. I woke up and went to the bathroom only to realise I was still asleep. I then went back to sleep and woke up again and went to the bathroom only to realise I was still asleep. Then it happened again. When I finally woke up I had to pinch myself to test whether I was still asleep and not dreaming. Did I really wake up from that dream, I wonder?

"Matter, thought, and energies all intersect on one plane of existence. Spirit is on a different but parallel plane. On the material plane there is energy and the experience of matter, time, and movement. On the true-self plane, there is only the pure experience of love, oneness or unity. No thought is necessary because there is nothing to think about and no comparisons to make. There is no doing, because doing implies improving or getting something. In the true-self plane, where all is perfect there is nothing to improve upon and nothing that needs additions or fixing. These are all functions of the body, which is a material perspective.I've written elsewhere that a verse from Psalm 118 forms part of my daily prayer:
[...]"Angels, Holy Spirit, ascended masters, and evolved spirit guides know the truth of life's divine perfection. However, they also see that we need help while we still believe we are in the material world. Their role is to function on both planes to help us gently awaken to our higher selves in the spirit plane." (The Lightworker's Way, Doreen Virtue, p. 240)
"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118: 24)This means that everything is always perfect.

[2] I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
[3] Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
[4] He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
[5] Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
[6] Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
[7] A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
[8] Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
[9] Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
[10] There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
[11] For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
[12] They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
[13] Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
[14] Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
[15] He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
[16] With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. (Psalm 91)

"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows." (Luke 12: 6-7)God is aware of everything that goes on in our lives because God is life. Every action has a purpose. When you view your life as human or a little speck in the universe, you see life as random and without meaning. But when life is viewed from Oneness, every action counts.

"I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel." (Isaiah 45: 2-3)From the human perspective, one sees life as polarised: good/evil; love/hate; enemy/foe. Imagine you wake up one day and realise that everyone you see as different from you is actually you in disguise? How would you treat others when you know what you do to others you are literally doing to yourself? When you realise that there is only one Life and Love in all, your perspective of the world changes.

"For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring." (Acts 17: 28)When I say "I am walking," who is the "I" walking? Well, the "I" can be perceived in two ways. There is the personal I which is a combination of human beliefs and the personal ego, who believes she is moving her legs towards a particular destination and gets tired after a certain number of steps. And then there is the impersonal "I" that is moving the body but is untouched by the movements. This impersonal "I" is the one mover of all whether one is conscious of this or not.

"You always demonstrate on the level where your consciousness abides. It is not necessary, as a result, for you to learn the secret of how to demonstrate, how to bring the invisible into form, because you have been doing this all your life. The power of mind cannot do otherwise than demonstrate in accordance with the way in which it is used.There is a new breed of reality TV shows where people, mostly women, go through radical makeovers to have their dream bodies. Last night, I watched a programme called The Swan which transforms "ugly ducklings" into swans fit to enter a beauty pageant. Two women were put through the works: liposuction, face implants, body restructuring, laser eye surgery, cosmetic dentistry, physical training, diets, and life coaching. The transformations were remarkable. It makes one wonder, if modern technology can transform one overnight, who needs a God?
"Therefore, you do not need to exercise faith in your ability to perform miracles, for if you will only exercise enough faith to lift your consciousness to a higher level, the miracles will take care of themselves. They will happen not as a result of human thinking, but as a spontaneous result of Christ-like being. You could not stop the miracles any easier than you could stop your life." (The Door of Everything, by Ruby Nelson)
"A Bhakta and a jnani (a follower of the jnana marga) were walking through a forest and became very thirsty. They came to a deep well with water far down and the sides overgrown with bush and briar. There was no way of obtaining water. The jnani overcame the difficulty by expending great psychic force to assume the form of a bird. Then he flew down through the bushes and briars, losing many feathers on the way. On the other hand, the bhakta yearned for the Lord's grace and called fervently on His name. The Lord hearing and responding, the waters rose to the level of the bhakta who was thus able to slake his thirst completely."

"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment." (John 7: 24)In other words, if you're going to judge you have to base it on Truth. When you judge by appearances without solid foundation, you are being tossed about by passing clouds that remain as long as beliefs hold them in place. You will have to wait for the right season to make your move. According to consensus reality, summer is meant to be the time for cloudless skies, unless you're living in the UK. Who wants to live their life based on beliefs? I certainly don't.

"So where exactly is this Buddha nature? It is in the sky-like nature of our mind. Utterly open, free and limitless, it is fundamentally so simple and so natural that it can never be complicated, corrupted, or stained, so pure that it is beyond even the concept of purity and impurity. To talk of this nature of mind as sky-like, of course, is only a metaphor that helps us to begin to imagine its all-embracing boundlessness, for the Buddha nature has a quality the sky cannot have, that of the radiant clarity of awareness. As it is said: 'It is simply your flawless present awareness, cognizant and empty, naked and awake.'" (The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, Sogyal Rinpoche)Just before you go out you check what the weather looks like outside. From the grey clouds, it looks like rain. Do you take your umbrella and a warm jacket with you, just in case? Or do you ignore the weather believing it’s going to be a sunny day no matter what the weather looks like or the weather man has predicted.

"For infinity, the only worthwhile enterprise of a warrior is freedom. Any other enterprise is fraudulent." (Don Juan, The Active Side of Infinity by Carlos Castaneda)I believe there is only one work worth doing: to live as Spirit. Living as Spirit is the purpose of life, which demonstrates that life is Spirit and Spirit is freedom.
"And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." (Matthew 10: 7-8)When these words are interpreted literally, of course people are going to do exactly that, after all, there are many sick and dead people. But the same Jesus says:
"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." (John 6: 63)Jesus is speaking of the truth of reality which is spirit and when his words of spirit are understood and accepted as Truth, they come to life and become one's life. Thus, when Jesus speaks about healing the sick, he is speaking about those who have forgotten that they are joy and love, not sickness in body; when he talks about raising the dead, he is speaking about reminding the "walking dead" passing off as life that they are eternal Life; when Jesus talks about casting out devils, he is talking about letting go of false beliefs in sickness, suffering and death. Naturally when one accepts one's nature as Spirit, the body and one's affairs are made whole and will appear to human eyes as healing, being raised from the dead and having your needs met.

"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." (Psalm 119: 18)There is a lovely story in the Bible about a prophet called Elijah and his servant, Elisha. Elijah has been training Elisha to be his successor. His time on earth is coming to an end.
"And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.Now it is written that Elisha saw Elijah being taken up to heaven in a "chariot of fire." What is being described is that Elisha could see with his inner vision. An observer without inner vision would have seen Elijah disappear into thin air, but Elisha saw there was a reality of Light that Elijah had vanished into. Elisha's ability to see granted him his request. In fact, the power was not Elijah's to bestow but that of God. Elisha had demonstrated that he had the inner vision which made him a worthy successor.
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan.
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over." (2 Kings 2: 9-14)

"Do not make the mistake of imagining that the nature of mind is exclusive to our mind only. It is in fact the nature of everything. It can never be said too often that to realize the nature of mind is to realize the nature of all things." (The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, by Sogyal Rinpoche)Light is the nature of all; the Light is life.
The Light is boundless, there are no limits.To understand the nature of all life, I use my experience of the Light/Mind as a yardstick for life. Here are a few examples.
The Light has always been, there is no birth date.
The Light is purity and unaffected by human good or evil.
The Light is pure presence, being, and awareness.
The Light is impersonal.
The Light is free from all concepts and beliefs.

"Saints and mystics throughout history have adorned their realizations with different names and given them different faces and interpretations, but what they are all fundamentally experiencing is the essential nature of the mind. Christians and Jews call it "God"; Hindus call it "the Self," "Shiva," "Brahman," and "Vishnu,"; Sufi mystics name it "the Hidden Essence"; and Buddhists call it "Buddha nature." At the heart of all religions is the certainty that there is fundamental truth, and that this life is a sacred opportunity to evolve and realize it."(The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, Sogyal Rinpoche, p. 48)I believe the one thing that we seek is to be in our right minds. We end up looking to others to tell us what this mind is. Many people have their views of the One Mind. The irony is that the thing that most people spend their whole lifetime, even lifetimes, seeking is right there in front of them. If only we realised that this Mind is already who we are and that it is the very seeking that obscures what we already are.
This self-originated Rigpa, which from the very beginning was never born,
Is the child of Rigpa, which is itself without any parents – how amazing!

Although it is evidently visible, yet there is no one there who sees it – how amazing!
Although it has wandered through samsara, no harm has come to it – how amazing!
Although it has seen buddhahood itself, no good has come to it – how amazing!
Although it exists in everyone everywhere, it has gone unrecognised – how amazing!
And yet you go on hoping to attain some other fruit than this elsewhere – how amazing!

"The genetic mind is the equivalent of a universal belief system that penetrates, to varying degrees, the human instrument of all entities.

In a few, it exerts no significant force nor has any bearing on the development of their personal belief system." Wingmakers

"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." (Matthew 5: 5)A mobile company has been running an ad campaign using the concept of an oriental teacher giving the company advice on how to run their company. In their current billboard, the teacher states: "Ignore the one who says less is more, for he is a baboon." The company goes on to encourage others to want more. That statement cracked me up. I agree with the "teacher." Who wants less when you can have more? Why do people pretend to be less when they really are more, a lot more?
Note that don Juan is suggesting that Castaneda is playing a game of false humility. He already is self-assured but is pretending so he can fit in with "race mind" beliefs. At first, Castaneda is very reluctant to follow don Juan's advice as he doesn't want to leave his old life behind. Eventually, circumstances makes him break away from the old life in order to live as Spirit."Your breaking point," he said, "is to discontinue your life as you know it. You have done everything I told you, dutifully and accurately. If you are talented, you never show it. That seems to be your style. You're not slow, but you act as if you were. You're very sure of yourself, but you act as if you were insecure. You're not timid, and yet you act as if you were afraid of people. Everything you do points at one single spot: you need to break all that, ruthlessly." (The Active Side of Infinity, Carlos Castaneda)

"I think this is the distinctive difference between the spirit and the soul. The soul is on a journey with many twists and turns in the road of life. But the spirit is high above the road, overarching it from beginning to end, and knows the peace that passes understanding, the contentment that is never shaken, the Paradise that is ours to enjoy forever. The great thing about this is that we may experience the Paradise while still on the road! The flesh is heavy and weak, but the spirit is willing and waiting. With a few simple techniques, a longing heart, and trust in God's promise to meet us if we seek Him/Her, we can take a break from the lonesome road and enter into 'the congregation of God.'" (Jesus: His words Decoded, His Mystery Teachings Revealed, John Van Auken)When I first went on the spiritual path it was because I wanted to be free of the personality/ego and beliefs of the collective human consciousness. Although I wasn't fully conscious of the time, I was faced with two paths: the path of learning many lessons; and the path of being who I already am, who already knows all and is all.
