Oh Pooh

I feel like Winnie the Pooh being carried upstairs behind Christopher Robin, banging his head on every step.” - {{simon}}

I got so tickled at the imagery, it brought smiles to my face all night long. Then *this* morning, I remembered this pic…

“I glimpsed Oneness with the other people in the room and almost collapsed in floods of tears at the beauty of it. But I held back. 1) Because I’m a guy, 2) Because I’m British, and 3) Because I thought some of the other people in the room would be freaked out.

So today I’m carrying that emotion round with me, just below the surface. I’ve looked at it and I can see where it comes from: it’s from the utter effort and frustration of trying to measure up to the expectations of myself and others day after day for year after year after year. It’s despair at the constant striving. From time to time, for a few days, I can give it up. I can see through that illusion about the weight of the world. But I always go back down the path to pick the weight up again.” - {{simon}}

For a moment, you realized your own Oneness with Spirit and in that moment, you realized everyone else’s oneness with their Spirit, too, that same Spirit that’s within ‘you’.  You *knew* it.  All the Pure Love of Spirit you sensed most likely felt overwhelming, especially in light of the fact that you were trying not to reveal it to anyone.   Why?

Because Intimacy is one of our BIGGEST issues!

Now…

By the Law of Attraction, we WILL reap as we sow.   So what are your own beliefs and feelings about being ’sensitive’?  Not ‘booohoo’ emotionally insecure sensitive, AWARE sensitive ?  Because this is what will be reflected back to you.  I’d bet money those beliefs and feelings have changed a great deal, especially over the last year.

You were afraid other people would respond the same way people had responded before.  That’s a prime example of us ‘living in the past’.  So what happened, is you experienced the same thing as you’ve felt before.  I bet upon talking to Sally, she’d tell you NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN.  To give  the group a chance to reflect your own Divinity back to you.

Sure, they may be ‘put off’ at 1st but how will any of us ever learn if we’re all too afraid to show how it is done, when it comes to being embracing of our own selves?

“Group consciousness” is “safe”.  “Mass consciousness” is “unsafe”.  There is a difference and it is in this difference that both you and Visionary are having your dilemmas and challenges.  Basically, in group consciousness, the individual is cherished as it is recognized as precious.  It is based upon Willing cooperation and being Real.  Mass consciousness, on *this* planet,  is based on conformity, the mass sucking all individuality out of each one of us.  It is based upon competing realities as to what  perceptions are going to rule the mass.

Right NOW, Group consciousness has “taken over” our World, and is herding our Mass consciousness like lemmings .  This is being done from the inside, out, through understanding and practical application of Universal Law (quantum physics)

The most Loving thing we can do is disconnect from our mass consciousness but most of us are so linked into it we don’t know how.

Ponder it for a moment…no matter how much recognition and validation we EVER received, it NEVER made any difference to how we REALLY felt about ourselves.  It was like an experience of temporarily lifting a balloon off the floor.  The minute the support is gone, the balloon drops back onto the floor.  The ONLY way our balloon is going to stay off the floor, is to change what’s inside the balloon.

Our Mass consciousness is like a bunch of hydrogen filled balloons.  Hydrogen = “1″ in atomic weight.  Group Consciousness is like a bunch of helium filled balloons.  Helium - “2″ in atomic weight.  It’s the difference between being a stick in a teepee and a pillar with other pillars.

Winnie the Pooh was the very 1st book I was ever given as a child and it still holds a very precious place in my heart.

I have been terrified of mass conciousess since as early as I can remember. I don’t know when exactly but it was very young. I remember watching TV footage of football crowds going wild and attacking each other and news reports showing policemen beating protesters at rallies. I just couldnt understand how people could get so carried away with the crowd that they could end up doing something that just wasn’t ‘them’ that they would wish they hadn’t done the next day.

A few years later at school I witnessed a boy brutally beaten by another school boy in a fight while a crowd of children stood by and cheered at his punishment even after he had collapsed on the floor and surrendered. I was sickened and terrified of the crowd. How could you ever trust a human being if they can’t control themselves in a crowd.

Ever since I have never been able to fully participate in a crowd activity and give myself fully. At concerts, I feel like an outside observer watching everyone else lose themselves in th preformance. I always hold myself back.

I have known this for many years, but I never really thought about until you wrote this…

“Ever since I have never been able to fully participate in a crowd activity and give myself fully.”

a “social butterfly with lead wings”?

the feeling…has been coming from your very Soul.

There’s a con running in our mass consciousness…and the con is…that I can increase the light of my flame by snuffing other people’s out.

I inspire those of us entrenched in our mass consciousness to be VERY uncomfortable and I *know* it. I simply don’t feel ‘bad’ about it AT ALL.

I understand what your saying about making ourselves feel better by climing on top of others to get to the top of the heap and have ‘known’ this for many years. I have always refused to do this but life on left field has proved so physically difficult.

I have refused to tow the line if it isn’t in line with my line and have been sacked many times from good very well paying jobs because I wouldnt sell my soul to the company.

What I don’t understand is why on a quantum level haven’t been ‘rewarded’ for being true to myself? Why haven’t I attracted like minded souls?

I’ll sleep on this question and maybe by tomorrow it will come to me.

Winnie the pooh who can’t love him! I have always been seen as a rebel due to the fact that I run from mass consciousness, I prefer to think for myself and see things through my eyes, like Visionary I have witnessed some things - everyone seems to think its right but it never felt right with in me. There are ways to correct this world consciousness, it is the light lights in the dark breaking through, one step at a time.

Great post, a brilliant read and excellently written as always! SF

Yeah - me too. I don’t feel a bit loney either. Earlier in my journey, once I started speaking truth, those who refused truth would vanish out of my life and I would feel lonely - now I don’t. I can live truthfully alone if need be; and I feel just fine. I’m not talking about opinions or my truths - those tend to rid you of family and friends too - I’m speaking of real truths that most of us do not want to face - like how can one give hundreds of dollars to the church each Sunday but have homeless grandchildren - I know it’s a choice, but the lie is that the church would never know how uncaring the person really is - he gives just for show and tell. When I speak of these things, people start to vanish from my presense - I say God Bless. . . .

Peace, Light and Love,

I know you wait for me and patience isn’t one of your strong suits…I haven’t *forgotten* you by any means. I’ve had a house of visitors and guests and I occasionally take a break. lol

You’ve shared that you enjoy mind games, so I’ll play one with you. Smiling. I take us back to the old Star Trek series movies…one about “Spock’s” brain being put back into him. The scene pans into him taking a test of a bunch of high brow techinical questions when his mom shows up and asks him:

“How do you feel?”

What is your Heart trying to tell you?

If what we’re thinking, our perspective, is True, we will feel Loved and Uplifted. If what we are thinking, our perspective, is False, we will feel some shade of abused.

Notice how our FEELINGS change when ever we change our way of looking at things.

I can ’see’ right now based on what you have written that the Universe has UNconditionally given ‘you’ everything you have asked for, just like the rest of us but like the rest of us, we’ve all been blind to what we’ve been doing.

I admire you for sticking to your guns and resigning…, of course, I did the same thing and divorced a man that didn’t. Grinning.

One of my FAVORITE movies is “V for Vendetta”. I really LIKE the character “V”. But I couldn’t live with a character like that for long, listening to his drama of being a victim.

I would illuminate the way a sword is made and talk about how the fine-ness of the blade was directly related to how it was tempered. I would recognize him as a man of caliber of character. A man of inner strengths, a man of Virtue.

And would say to him that ALL the experiences in his life had made him into the man he was and, all his negative feelings about what he had gone through, were the same as telling me how many reasons he has no Love for himself. Since one would be the result of the other.

I would have shown him how to love himself, because he would have seen a different reflection of himself in my eyes.

Then MAYBE the story would have ended differently. “V” would have been delivering roses to all those who had blessed him in delivering these experiences to him, rather then wearing those same roses as his shroud.

A Happy Heart beats in Hope, not pounds in Fear.

ps…

One day while waiting in line for paint to be made, my young daughter asked:

what is Patience?

and I responded by saying:

“the ability to wait in Trust”.

Have you ever noticed that when we imagine “not having” any Patience, the ONLY way the Universe can respond to this decree of “lack” is to create experiences where we have to wait? Like if we say we lack “endurance”, then the Universe gives us more TO endure?

WHAT experiences in our lives CREATE qualities of inner substance to come forth from within us?

Thank You for the compliments. You Bless & Honor me and I {{Thank You}}. And add that it “takes one to know one!”

Appearances have a way of changing…that’s why we call them “appearances”. We’re in a cycle of transition right now. Like father time being put out to pasture while baby new year steps up to the plate. What’s happening is our physical realities are changing to quite accurately reveal our inner ones.

Wealth not backed up by solid substance of feelings of worth are dissolving and disappearing. An economy with no sense of economy in it is also coming unglued at the seams. And if we were counting on some ‘thing’ in order to provide us with a sense of ’security’, then that’s going bye-bye, too. Staying in our Comfort Zones is not an option for us any more.

But as these ‘creations’ of ours are leaving, different ones are on the rise taking their place.

I’m not a member of the rat race because I’m not a rat. But I’m not into denying I’m a rodent, too, like church mice often do; I’m a field mouse. And that’s where *you* will always find me…out standing in some field, usually left.

Smiling.

Greetings! {{Robert}}

Welcome!

Thank You for leaving me a way to find “your place”!

I only know how to write in English and have enough *trouble* at that, in trying to share and convey what I’ve got in my head. I just don’t “see” things ‘the right’ way. Can’t help it, either. Unity is a LOT different then duality/polarity. Messes with our heads, Unity does.

And here you go translating across languages. Makes my mind feel all confused…I bow in recognition and respect.

An idea comes to me to share with you, that you may consider the difference between a “preacher” and a “teacher”, for I suspect ‘you’ are doing one and calling it another.

The difference between the two being, a teacher shares with those who are interested while a preacher tries to pound their perspective into the heads of those that aren’t.

I ’see’ you as a teacher.

Smiling.

Welcome! Welcome!

Hi {{cordieb}} !!!

We all go through disorienting phases, as it is true, that the ‘outside’ is a reflection of our ‘insides’. When we have nothing in common, no interests, no values, no perspectives, when we’re with those who do not value what we’ve have to share the same way we really don’t value what they’ve got either, then it is time to “go with the flow”.

Trying to force people results in pushing people away, as you just said.

What is Loving for ‘me’ is to be around people who enjoy and value what I have to share, namely, “me”. Which brings us to the next point you mentioned, being Real.

You shared experiences of seeing living contradictions. Appearances of being “charitable and giving”, not backed up by any genuine substance of character: Lack of Integrity.

I don’t accept Appearances such as these as Real in the 1st place and believing they are, is the way a con sells his game.

And that’s why a lot of us respond to me in ways of being uncomfortable. Because I can see straight through all appearances to what is within us. For to the extent we *know* and understand our own selves, so do we *know* and understand everyone else. For within, we’re all the same, no matter Appearances.

Hi Sue Ann - I’m glad you liked my Pooh analogy - it’s one of my favorite books too!

You say: “no matter how much recognition and validation we EVER received, it NEVER made any difference to how we REALLY felt about ourselves. It was like an experience of temporarily lifting a balloon off the floor. The minute the support is gone, the balloon drops back onto the floor.”

That is absolutely true for me, and it just points out the futility of hanging on the opinions of others the way I have done all my life. So many of the changes in behavior we need to make are so logical that the old way of thinking seems like madness in comparison. Yet old habits die hard….

This suddenly reminds me of a dog called Gypsy I used to know. One day, she went and fetched a stick and put it down in front of me for another throw, the way she always did. But on this one occasion she also nudged it with her paw. Do dogs do that? Gypsy didn’t usually, never before or since, not in front of me. And it may have been my imagination, but when she did it, she looked a bit embarrassed, as though she might be exhibiting abnormal species behavior and was worried about being found out.

So that’s what I felt I almost did at the workshop the other day, nudging the stick with my paw…

I’ve sent Sally a link to this post! She was asking what I thought of her workshop. Now she knows!

Ohhhh {{{Simon}}}…

Blessed and Gifted as I was, talented as well as quick and perceptive, I almost drove myself into the ground with my “doing” for approval. But in my Heart I *knew* it was all an act. “You like this, so I’ll be the best at ‘this’ I can manage.” And it wouldn’t be very long I could keep up the act, as I kept swallowing what I really thought or felt.

I looked within me, deeper, to discover why I needed approval so much. For even tho we have heard and read and said things many times, catching ourselves in action is another thing altogether. It takes other people helping us, saying “whoa, wait a minute”, as we bring our mental horses under control. Our horses always run wild with every single one of us.

Until we discover the subconscious and emotional cause, our ‘habit’ will still be with us. And the reason I felt I needed approval was because I had a list a mile long of reasons why I didn’t approve of myself. Limiting the amount of Love & Honor I paid to myself in the coin of being an Honest person, as in genuine. How could I blame other people for not accepting me if I never gave them a chance to see or know the real me?

We have to have 1st rejected our own self before that rejection will be mirrored/ reflected to us. It is an initial action of Self Betrayal and…

we always reap as we sow.

We relate to each other the same way we relate to our selfs. I happen to think, based on experience, that we’d have better luck with all our relationships if we considered them important enough to be Real. Real people have real relationships, where imaginary people only can have imaginary ones.

Which is more fulfilling? Eating an apple? Or eating a picture of one?
