Return to Store - Inner Resources - Outer Links Leave the Minstrels in the Gallery by A.j. Bruno ~ 1-6-08
There is more to life than what we are being told on more levels than just one. Much has been hidden from us about the nature of ourselves, nature herself, and the illusionary construct that is know as the world. Many live their lives through the filter of their beliefs, beliefs that have no foundation in reality or in the observable world. What is observable to one can “not” be observable to another, because of the limiting aspect their beliefs can have on their own perceptions. The basics of this can be understood through the foundation ideas that makes up one’s sense of the ‘world’, a world that is founded on illusion and therefore is limited in scope. The limits depend upon the thinking that gave rise to the outer aspect that has manifested from the inner mind of the collective conscious that is formed from the consensus 'reality' that the individual has given ‘himself’ over to. The more that individuals place their belief in dysfunctional ideas, the more opportunity that dysfunction will manifest in the world in one shape or another. This leads us to some primary questions: Who or what is responsible for molding the collective mind field that it has manifested in such a condition to give rise to this ‘world’ as we know it today? Who has the courage to seek the unadulterated truth of it and not turn from the lessons it is teaching us, while falling into some form of denial? And, who or what is ‘benefiting’ and promoting that denial? At the center of each one of us lies the core of who we are. It is where the reality of what we are rests, waiting patiently to be recognized and remembered. Surrounding that are three inner filters that have become so distorted within ‘men’ that the people have become so identified with these filters that the true nature of ourselves has become veiled by them. These filters are our minds, emotions and bodies. All three serve a purpose, but in our confusion that purpose has become lost in imbalance and hardened by beliefs that have no basis in reality. To this day ‘man’ still questions what reality is and is fearful when it comes to seeing it. The spin that is placed on the nature of reality and fear of it has been promoted by those who have ‘benefited’ from keeping the human race confused. Reality is simply what is common amongst us, there is no ‘your reality’ or ‘my reality.’ How can it be ‘reality’ when it is not agreed upon and does our agreeing upon something make it reality? The dilemma lies in how words cannot adequately express what lies beyond our perceptions and yet can be perceived. The perceiving is opened up to by stretching the boundaries of oneself. To put it more clearly, reality is that which is common to us all, both what is known and what is yet to be known about our commonality. Just because something ‘cannot’ be perceived as we can conceive through our five senses does not mean that it is not there to be perceived. In fact there is much more to life than we could possibly imagine and yet it is the imagination that can take us to doorways that may lead to roads that bring us to a higher understanding of reality and perceptions of it; as it can lead to dead ends and illusions of grandeur. It is not in movement that we stretch ourselves, but in stillness and silence. Because we do not need to find anything or really seek it out; we must remember ourselves, because within us lies the key to unlocking the mysteries of ourselves and beyond. Man's final frontier is not out in space but is to be found in ‘his’ inner space. We are deceived into thinking and focusing our minds on what is there rather than what is not there. What is meant by what is not there, is not nothing, but no-thing. People have lost sight of the space that surrounds everything and is more a part of everything than what is there as far as atoms and molecules are concerned that make up matter. Man is caught in his magnetic attachment to things; mentally, emotional and physically. He has forgotten to notice the space that exist between all things and the silence that envelops all sound; the darkness that all light manifest out of and that same darkness that shapes the light while drawing shadows around it. Man's mind has become entrapped in matter therefore becoming polarized, while all his life long he is deceived into living a life of gathering more unto himself in a material sense that he can not take with him when he ‘dies.’ He has defined himself by everything that is not him and therefore has forgotten himself in a world of form and matter; matter that was simply meant to be a tool and means for spiritual development while here on earth, and not an end in itself. Man has become trapped in an illusion at the expense of his reality and those who are the minstrels in this gallery have danced many through the streets and continue to do so till this day. For such a dance to even have commenced at the hands of these minstrels and to bear witness to the nature of this dance of shepherded insanity tells me one thing, that the minstrels themselves are insane and are the ones who are the farthest from the truth while believing themselves to be the authors of it. They may be authors, but they are only authors of one thing. They are the authors and source code/point of the primary dysfunction that infects the human species towards destruction and possibly extinction, not excluding themselves. For it is their dysfunction that has been projected upon the human family. They think they see all when they see nothing and they want all but will only lose all in the end. My only question to all of you is, will you join me in the audience in seeking an understanding of this situation until the moment presents itself when we can exit out through the backdoor of this theater, where we can leave this elaborately constructed cave and finally look upon this earth as it is and each other as we are; leaving behind us the disease of the minstrels who has fooled us into believing myriad forms of fairy tails and delusions? No one is coming to save us, we all must individually save ourselves, until that moment comes when enough have mustered the courage to do so that we can collectively save each other. Our destiny lies in our own hands and the collective destiny in the hands of reality. The minstrels have already lost, it is for us to determine the outcome, be it in healing or in a greater destruction. The minstrels do not have any control, they have only seized control of those who have not taken the responsibility to master and control themselves. I only ask of you one thing, to come off of that stage and join me in the audience; that spotlight does nothing for you but blind your eyes and burn your wings. The first insight in coming towards an understanding of healing this disease is: It is a collective problem that resides at the individual level. Therefore to heal oneself is to heal the collective field of which we are all a part of; naturally!
"Bind all us together ablaze of hope and free Be the kings and queens of your own inner domain, no one else can do that for you...
"Cause you've got the fight, You've got the insight" It is not in exposure of this new world order where solutions are to be found,
