Post #102 "Something or Nothing?"

We've heard it said......"There has to be a reason why there is something rather than nothing".........Sure, unless we do not understand what is 'something' and what is 'nothing'. What if what we think is 'something' is really 'nothing', which is the case. 'Something' is 'something' only to that which is of the same information, the same dimension, the same 'somethingness'. If an image, (now this image, of course, thinks of itself as 'something' and not an image because this is its reality and the only reality it knows) defines reality, it defines its own reality, the reality it has created. This  determines where it searches and what it searches for. Let's call this image, image A. Image A creates for this is what images do and produces another image. Its easy to see that what results is still only image, because image B, created by image A, is created out of the energy, the substance, the information, from image A. Image B and can only image Image A but with its own variant for images can never exactly reproduce. In other words, Image B receives and is made up of information from image A plus its individual touch as a choosing consciousness. That which Image A sees as 'something' is of the same 'somethingness' as Image A...all still image, all still 'nothing'. Image A and Image B can then, cooperatively, choose to caste combined information into Image C. Now A, B, and C can caste combined information into as many combinations of further images according to choice, for choosing is the action of consciousness.... all chosen, all combinations of image, all varieties of image, yet still image. Image, yes, but not image to itself. Image sees itself within its own created reality, its own created 'somethingness'. But, what is image but nothingness---no matter how many combinations and developments are created (creation meaning made out of nothing, nothing meaning image). When answers are sought to why there is something rather than nothing, the answer is sought in the dimension created by images A to Z....all viewed within its own dimension. But, interestingly, image/consciousness/intelligence is not satisfied with answers from within its own reality. Image is seeking answers to what can only be answered from outside of the created dimension or created space. (Dimension is not a good representative word to use in this situation but when trying to describe that which is not easily expressible in our created dimension, words become stumbling blocks, particularly the written word.)

Image has created a dimension that remains within the choice of consciousness. Consciousness views itself from within its created space, its created dimension--that universe of Space, Time, and Matter. We seek answers from within that dimension, that creation, and become confused with what is Real, with what is 'Something'. We become confused from determining what is 'something' from that which is created/'nothing'. Intelligence must be able to step aside from its own created dimension, through its choice, to see outside of and beyond its creation. The created lies within Reality but is protected by its walls of Space, Time, and Matter--the stuff of creation. These walls can be very heavy and unmovable or as wispy as haze and breath. 'Something' can only be Reality. Consciousness has a vague inkling of Reality through its own properties of 'Nothingness'. 'Nothingness' sees its divisiveness, as in broken pieces, and searches for Entity. 'Nothingness' sees its death and finiteness and searches for Infinity. Entity and Infinity do not lie within the realm of the created. Such confusion! If only intelligence would admit it is not the 'Somethingness' of Reality, then maybe it could find the answers that it futilely searches for. 

Post #101 "Who or What is God?"

Who or What is God? Is God a person? Does God have person hood? Is God Power, as in energy? Is God Something? Some say God is Nothing. Generally speaking, 'something' is what we experience, consequently, 'nothing' is that which lies beyond our own experience. So, if God lies beyond our own experience, is God Nothing?...then, in a sense, that Nothing would be Something but outside our comprehension.  From this we could say that 'something' is subjective and is in some way under our effect and influence, if only through our thoughts, consequently, our dreams and desires. What about our ability to Choose?

We created and create God because we cannot deal with the fact that there may be Reality beyond that which we can grasp, beyond that which we can dream, beyond that which we can desire, in other words, totally beyond our influence and our effect. But who, possibly, could allow for the thought or even deal with the thought that there is Existence beyond our created scope of awareness, beyond the possibilities and scope of our consciousness!? If we in any way control or effect God, we have created God, for God exists within our creative parameters which is made up of our dreams, desires.... our thoughts. We created God that we could comprehend and then conquer and defeat our fears. We created God out of our fear of the unknown, the unknown of ourselves and all we are capable of, for we do have the power of our own destruction. We created God out of fear of the unknown, that totally unknown and noncomprehendable Reality, the source of our desire to image. At the beginning of intelligent history there were forces within our own creation that threatened us. It becomes our story, the story of humanity of how we conquer that which we fear. Is this our reason for existence? Of so....wow! Our most sophisticated technologies are still trying to conquer these fears. The ultimate goal of science, technology, and even religion is to conquer the ultimate fear, that of extinction. We can expect that science will create human life in a test tube, thereby conquering death, and well may have already done so. Out of fear we learned to appease that which was frightening to us. We needed to control the unknown which began our relationship with God. The fear of created nature became personified and evolved from god/gods to God. God needed to be controlled that we would not be extinguished but also because we need God's power to control and eliminate others.

How do we control God? The ways are numerous. We take control of God by claiming God, by possessing God, by giving God a name, by acting in the name of our God's to justify killing and fighting wars, while claiming God to be a God of Love. We control God by creating histories and telling of our God's deeds. We control God within our created walls, whether of world and galaxy or wood and precious metals.

Yes, God exists because that is what we experience through our powers of creation.
We create God out of all we worship. Have we ever considered that we may not be aware of all that exists, especially that which lies outside our dreams, desires and then, finally, our choice for Reality or non-reality?

Post #100 "What If....?"

What if creation never occured? What if our existence was Reality as our reality? What if we hadn't distorted our existence with creation? What if we could know Reality rather than our upside down and inside out perception? Reality is what creation would like to be if only creation knew anything about Reality. Our dreams of what we think is Reality are what we imagine Reality to be and creation to become. Can we reproduce Reality? Can we have Reality on our own terms? Seems like this would be possessing Reality. If we desire Reality, if we desire to own Reality, if we desire to be Reality, do we not need Reality within our own determined confines, our own determined walls, under our own determined conditions? We would need to build walls, many walls including the walls of world, planet, universe, cosmos and dimension, walls of the divisions of humanity into male and female, walls of culture, nationality, religion and on and on. Which we certainly have done. But these walls do not seem to have eased our fears and, possibly, have given us more to fear. It seems that we cannot accept Reality as Reality but need to bring it into our reality, under our control, and into our grasp....if not, then why dream? Why do we have to set boundaries? What do we fear would happen if all our created walls came down and disappeared? What if so-called foreign intelligence would enter our space? Surely Reality would not be experienced as foreign interference!? Does science not feel that all systems must have boundaries? Does science not fear that energy and matter will empty out into space? Does not this strategy of applying boundaries not also apply to religion? Are we, as conscious intelligence, unable to abide Reality and so create the walls and confines, the limitations of creation?.....all limited by our dreams and desires?  Have we created these walls because we fear that if a memory system is too open that our systemic memory will also empty out into space? Are we afraid that we will lose ourselves if we become embraced by Reality as Reality? What if we could find Reality? What if we could find ourselves as ourselves and not the imitations of our own creating?

But these walls....are these walls not only for keeping in but also for keeping out? Keeping out what?Why of course, keeping out Reality!  What if we would just glimpse at Reality? What would a glimpse do to our choice, to our dream, to our creation? What would a glimpse of Reality do to those of conscious intelligence who have chosen to create the image rather than search for the Reality? Certainly, the Real Thing can't be very far away. What if Reality is just a layer of haze or a whiff of smoke beyond our walls?

Post #99 "Reality to Image"

We can not create Reality! But we sure keep trying. We are, however, creators. Through collective consciousness and unconsciousness, we create. Intelligence has the ability to Choose, because the action of consciousness is choosing. What consciousness does is choose. Creation is choice. But because intelligence creates creation, intelligence cannot create Reality. Creation begins and ends. Reality IS. Intelligence has absolutely no power over Reality. For what is the action of creating anyways, but exercising power---absolute power. We can call into existence anything we choose for we have the power to image. But we know nothing of Reality other than it is not what we are. So with all this power of creation at our call, why the frustration? Why the need to divide and conquer? Why the need to stir the void of pre-creation into a boiling, churning cauldron of gyrating energy to bring forth a story of creation that presents intelligence as source and sustenance of power? Who needs to know the story of infinitely minute atomic beginnings 'advancing' through religion, science and technology, to ultimate source of life? None of this can touch or influence Reality in anyway. But there is the need and the need is to conquer, actually anything and everything, in an effort to conquer Reality, to sap what we see as Reality's power, Reality's infinite-ness, Reality's entity-ness (new word),......... its all that we are not.

Science is beginning to discover what those of keen intuitiveness have always known.... that information links intelligence and that that information does not know Time or Place. The collective consciousness and unconsciousness is linked through information and that information is non-destructable. Information exists in every cell of creation and is available to that which knows how to access it. Nature runs on this principal. Days, weeks, years and seasons run on this principal. Human intelligence has the ability to access information from every second of the past, present, and future and from every place and dimension known and as of yet unknown to creation. Human intelligence, however, lacks the intelligence of the animal kingdom in accessing information because of its drive to not only survive but to survive through destruction....basically killing itself off, defeating itself in its drive to achieve Perfection. Is not Perfection the Reality we seek to possess? The only thing is that we are not sure what Perfection is. Is Perfection not that of Infinity and Entity?.....all that we are not?.......all that lies outside our walls of our own choosing, the walls of creation?

Post #98 "Dream-Desire-Creator"

From the beginning, the desire to become God actualized and expressed itself in creation. Creation actualizes that desire but not with the intended results. The intention was and is to become Creator, or, it could be expressed as becoming God. If anything proves Reality it is non-reality. When dream becomes desire, desire becomes a creating energy, but here's the rub....the result of the dream from desire to Choice to 'becoming', is image, as in a holographic reproduction-the projected image of an original. In this case, Reality is the subject of the projected image. In order for the image to pull off its intention of 'becoming' the Reality, Reality must be removed. Image can never become other than image in the presence of Reality. The dream, the desire, the choice just cannot deny itself. This is creation's ultimate purpose. This is creation's ultimate fulfillment. This is what we have created ourselves to be. We are Creator. We are the masters of creation.

All struggle stems from this dilemma, for dilemma it is. All from the desire to become Creator, to become God---however we each see God. From the desire comes the Choice. The Choice becomes the frenetic movement, the churning of the void of pre-creation, the energy of the void of Nothingness. This energy is the energy of division. Creation has been dreamt, chosen, and created out of the energy of the void-the energy of division. This process begins with Nothing, for image is of Nothing. Creation is image; consequently, Creation begins and ends back into the void.

Can Reality be imaged? Is the dream possible? We all know the answer. Why the futility?
What would happen if there was and is no choice made to become Creator; no choice made to image, no choice made to create? Would we, then, find Reality?

Post #97 "Dreaming a Reality into Existence"

We can create as many realities into our existence as we are capable of coming up with desires to dream on. These realities are dreamed up realities and are real..........to us. The collective consciousness dreams and comes up with a reality that is real.........but only to itself. We exist within our dream. The collective consciousness exists within its dream, which, of course, we have all contributed to and are, on a larger scale, living within. What is it we all dream? Basically, individual dreams and the collective dream are the same. Our fears are the same because our desires are  the same as is our dream. Our dream conquers for us all that we fear because we change the perspective of who we are. If we are not who we are, we have nothing to fear.

We are finite. We all know this and we fear being finite, so we dream that we are Infinite. We are finite because we are so segmented and continue to break down into smaller and smaller pieces of ourselves at each of our self-created levels or layers of existence. Because we are broken and continue to break-down at alarmingly accelerating rates, we dream we are Entity. Just because of such fear we feel powerless and unable to protect ourselves much less conquer our enemy, so we dream ourselves All-powerful; we are kings, we are warriors, we are heroes. We feel confused and do not know what is true and what is false, so we dream ourselves All-knowing. We are limited by Time and Place, so we dream ourselves All-present and All-seeing. When we feel that we are in the brink of our own destruction we dream up what we hope will save us as a last resort and as a last resort only, we then see ourselves as All-merciful and All-loving. Doesn't this dream seem to be a dream of becoming God? If we become God then we have created God out of our own needs, desires, and dreams. What, if anything is Real? Is there a God of created creation? Is this the God of Reality? And then, who are we?

Post #96 "The Common Dream"

Is a dream and a purpose the same? Is there some commonality expressed in dreaming that threads throughout the limits of creation? Is the dream that is dreamt in another time and in another place and even in another dimension, a common dream? Does this dream, then, bring about unity or does it bring about division?

If the 'collective consciousness' chooses to dream its own reality into existence, it would have to access and 'collect' its dreaming from all intelligence throughout time and history. The 'collective consciousness' thinks linearly because its dream is a process that moves to fulfillment. The dream is an event that unfolds. The dream exists because the collective consciousness desires to become something outside its own actuality. The dream is not of what is, but of becoming. It dreams of becoming other than self. It dreams of becoming Other. If not so, then why the dream? Why dream of becoming other if one is comfortable and fulfilled with what is? What causes intelligence to dream? What else could the impetus be, but fear. Fear is the impetus to dream. We choose to dream away the fear, and we all know this underlying, unidentifiable fear!

For this dream of unfolding, from beginning to end, the collective consciousness creates linear movement. This linear movement is Time. The dream  of consciousness creates Time. The collective consciousness puts itself into this linear unfolding, in a sense, into a dividing of itself into segments and into levels and layers. Does the division of self not create more fear? How better to destroy self than through self-division? How desperate to self-divide. How far can the process of division proceed without bringing about ending? Division is a process that accelerates with the passing of each increment of itself in the movement of beginning to end. Is this process, then, really the fulfillment of the dream or the fulfillment of self destruction?

All this movement creates patterns. All quite repetitious really, just different levels, like levels of Time and Place in our dream story. All this is necessary to the unfolding of the Dream for the dream has beginning and ending. The dream has already begun, is in process, and has already ended for Time is nebulous. What begins ends and what ends begins. Time is essential to the unfolding of the dream, of any dream. Frustration with what is begins the unfolding process but the underlying impetus is fear. But exactly what fears and what is feared? Anything that feels threatened with loss of existence fears. Creation has beginning and consequently ending, creation fears. With fear the dream begins and the dream ends. Fear sets in as Time promises loss of existence. This is not Reality.

Post #95 "Are We Afraid of Reality?"

How do we feel about Reality? Reality being that which Is. Non-reality being that which we desire. Is it not the fear that Reality may not be that which we desire that creates non-reality in the first place? What if we do not like Reality? Worse, what if we fear Reality? What could we do? Do we have to accept Reality as reality or do we have an option? Can we 'twerk' Reality a bit, like make extensive alterations to Reality, or maybe could we just dream-up our own version of Reality? Basically, then, that would be to create our own reality......a Non-reality.

So, if we fear Reality, do we have the Choice to bring about something made up of our own desires, our own comfort levels, our own dreams? If we fear Reality and choose to exist outside Reality, to build our own reality, then what do we need? What do we need to do? Do we have the ability to create our own environment/environments? Can we determine what will be real for us? Do we have the ability to create and, then, live within our own dreams? Can we live within that which we dream? Of course, we all dream but our personal dreaming seems to be essentially within and for ourselves. But what of the dream of the so-called 'collective consciousness? If the collective consciousness were to dream a dream, then would that not bring about an altered reality---a reality of its own-----a reality within the collective consciousness and outside that Reality which was not accepted? What would be needed? A common dream, a common goal would be needed.
