So there has been much infighting beginning to show itself in the ranks of the wealthy and elite which is the physical manifestation of our collective beliefs in cause and effect mode. The apparent time tested triangle structure of power distribution is unbalanced. We are reflecting our own belief in lacking, powerlessness and fear as an actuality.
The polarity of perception between two illusionary opposites is a thin vale to conceive and virtually impossible to sustain without agreement. Agreement is the violation point of access into a humans consciousness, a worm hole of doubt and apathy if you will. It is through agreement that belief can begin to unleash its insidious reason in the dark shadows of doubt within our mechanical mind.

Making Sense of it All:::Introduction::: "The Killer Inside"
Introduction
Making sense of it all
The first thing that we need to understand is that this reality is insane. We will never be able to make sense out of something that is absolutely senseless.
We are living in the remnants of a deceased dream. The minds that created this dream have died long ago. For some reason we continue to hold on to this creation as if it were our own. The only reason that this reality continues is because we still support it with our minds.
The external environment of this "dream" may seem to have become more evolved but this too is only an illusion. The only change that has occurred at all is in the physical realm. We have focused all of our attention into manifesting our environment just so we could avoid facing our own individual truth. In the end we have done nothing but postpone our collective inevitability. The world we have constructed is missing one ingredient which is literally everything in the spiritual realm.
We have designed a social structure to keep ourselves disconnected from the spiritual love that is everywhere and everything. The spiritual realm has not gone anywhere but we have been trying to convince ourselves that it has disserted us or worse yet, that it was never there to begin with. This type of material evolution that we have become so obsessed with is nothing more than a manifestation of the collective egos that have projected it.
It seems to me that our egos have become addicted to making us believe that we are evolving. Our egos quest for material distractions has certainly seemed to evolve. We keep churning out the gadgits and gizmos that all seem to add up to a massive amount of energy that could be used to bring us together.
In order for us to ever really evolve we must become conscious of our own actions. We will never grow spiritually as long as we continue to judge each other while exonerating ourselves of accepting any responsibility for our own individual part. Almost all of our actions are dictated by our fear driven ego. We manifested our own ego in order to be able to adapt to the world that the egos before us have left behind. The collective ego of humanity is insane and perhaps in the innocence of our youth we intuitively knew this.
I believe that we are all born connected to the truth and eventually trade in truth for "knowledge". The "knowledge" that our fear driven ego teaches is anything but truth. The type of knowledge created by our ego translates into pointless activity, both mentally and physically, that is designed to compromise our individual connection to our own inner truth.
The ego will become extremely inventive and manipulative to maintain its fear driven separation from the truth because it sees love and truth as its direct threat. The truth is that we are disconnected from the spiritual realm and will continue to be as long as we mistake our fear driven ego as being who we really are. Each one of us has a part in the collective effort that needs to be made in order to free our minds from our ego and reconnect to the truth.
All of the ego and denial in the world will not make our situation disappear. Many of us are not even aware that we have gotten ourselves into a situation at all. Ego and denial are of the world that we have created but we are connected to something far more powerful. We are using our free will against ourselves whenever it is driven by fear and controlled by ego. Free will should come without cost or fee for the person who exercises it. A creative will that is really free has no interest in charging a price because it knows that such an act would only dilute its creation. We are missing out on an opportunity to share a collective existence worth living.
Love is priceless and without its ability to freely express itself through each and every one of us it becomes our most elusive commodity. No material substitution shall ever take the place of love and all that it has the potential to create. With every selfish and self-serving action that each of us take we are pushing humanity closer to the brink of self-destruction. The self destruction that I speak of is merely a sort of ego armaggedon. What the ego has created will eventually fall. It has no choice in the matter. I believe that the egos fall from grace will occur in the very near future but the only question I have is weather we will go down with it. This is basically the whole point of my message.
We have built this world out of a need to have something, anything that can make us feel complete. Destruction of the self that the ego has made of us and freedom from self imposed bondage is literally one in the same. Just in case you find this particulary hard to follow I want you to let you know that you are not alone. The very fact that we have allowed such a large portion of our identity to become wrapped around our ego will make our reaction to the truth that much more difficult to hear. Look I can only speak from my own experience on the subject and it is a very tricky situation to deal with. Change is something that most of us do not welcome with open arms. I fought change tooth and nail for the majority of my life.
I was a master of shifting the shape and form of what my life looked like on the outside. I was constantly making changes for my self that I truly believed were going to make things better in the long run. Rearranging and manipulating my external world always left me with the same feeling in the end. It was the exact same feeling that I had before I did what ever it was that I felt compelled to do that I thought would change me. Looking back on this endless percession of meneuvers I discovered the correlating motivation behind my inner compulsion. My ego had literally masterminded all of the actions that I took. The motivation for these actions was always fear. Sometimes the fear would disguise itself as ambition. Other times the fear would disguise itself as a desire to have new experiences.
The truth is that fear could disguise itself as just about anything and I would be more than willing to cosign its bullshit. Why would I be willing to do such a thing? Because I have an ego that hates to be wrong and loves to try to control me. Am I my ego? I am my ego only if I continue to identify with it. Why on earth would I want to identify with something that is directly responsible for closing me off to having spiritual connections with the people that are in my life? I would do this only because I did not realize that there was another way. I would continue to surround myself with people who also identified with an ego of their very own. It is my experience that there are a ridiculous number of people in the world who also think their ego is who they are. For a long time I was not even aware that I was denying myself of the only type of shared human interaction that really mattered.
There were enough distractions in the form of substances, posessions, and others who thought just as I did to keep myself busy for a really long time. Thankfully for me that time finally ran out and when it did I found myself seeing my life in a totally different light.
We have lost touch with the organic beauty that the human experience has to offer. Any existence which is separated from love is synthesized at best. We have manifested a synthetic reality that we have become obsessed with maintaining in order to keep the truth from being felt. Fear is evil, plain and simple. We can dress it up and dramatize it however we wish. We can make movies about it by channeling our imaginations onto the big screen. We can tap into our own inner resource of fear that is always available. Mind you that fear is its own separate entity that is incapable of transmitting like love does. Fear is the master of illusion. Fear has to resort to all sorts of deception in order to get our minds to believe that it is real.
Fear and terror have been the chief vehicles of manipulation and control since the beginning of time.
We should never fear the God of our own understanding. God is neither good nor bad. God is everything. The idea of God translates into love and truth for me. I can create my own higher power just as we all can. If you have a problem with what your own beliefs are then there is a pretty good chance that you will also have a problem with mine as well. Part of our problem is that we just can’t stop imposing our beliefs on each other. Beliefs are of the ego while ideas are universal. We will stop at nothing to keep the attention off of our selves and how our own beliefs are affecting those around us.
In the end, it won’t be God that punished us. The whole idea of a punishing God is ridiculous. God has had no hand in our current reality.
Our perceived existence is a direct result of our decision to exclude a power greater than ourselves in on its construction.
The spiritual realm works as best as it can within the confines of the existence we have made for ourselves. Lifetimes have passed us by without rhyme or reason. In our hindsight we have witnessed the man made change of our egos own seasons. Slow incubation and steady demise of conscious contact with a power greater than us is evident in the social structure that is in place. If we were to include love and truth in our creation then it would feel totally different. Our world has manifested as a direct result of our fear driven actions that are self-serving in nature. The unnatural has become the reactionary reflex of the ego and all that it embodies. This reality that we have built is not the end result of a collective consciousness that is connected to the love and truth of the spiritual realm.
The truth of our situation is that we just can’t seem to help ourselves. We can’t stop but help ourselves to more of what ever we obsess over that we believe will make us complete. We hide true happiness from ourselves. We keep our egos insulated inside a material womb while attempting to convince one another that this womb is a suitable substitution to true love. We are living in extreme denial and have become addicted to fear and pain that we ourselves create. We obsess over things that feed our ego because as long as it is being fed then it knows that we won’t have any time left to connect to our spirit.
Why is it that everything tangible always leaves us feeling empty on the inside? Will there ever be enough of that “stuff” to make us feel complete. The tangibility of the material realm often maintains our perception of the spiritual realm as being completely intangible. The material realm will keep us busy and distracted but will it ever give us peace? Our physical and material obsessions are a direct reflection of our spiritual disconnection. We are running from the truth as fast as we can. On our own self imposed mental treadmill we are being chased by our ego and its incessant demands. Our egos are pushing us along at a blistering pace just so we do not have time to remember what we actually are. We were created out of truth and love. Truth and love is literally all around us but we are too self obsessed to see it.
We have built a fortress out of steel and concrete to convince ourselves that we are capable of existing in a state of spiritual disconnect.
The flow of the universe is gradual and precise. Love and truth do not have an ego that is driven by fear. It does not care what it looks like or what kind of car it drives. The flow of nature is the same as eternity, which is the universe. The universe created our planet. The force of Mother Nature, which is controlled by the flow of the universe, dictates the evolution of humanity, as we know it to be in the physical sense. Humanity is evolutionary work in progress.
As long as the universe continues to expand will we continue to evolve? Perhaps it might be the other way around in that the universe will only continue to expand if we continue to expand our own spiritual viewpoint? Is this the cosmic size question of which came first the chicken or the egg? Do we really think that I will ever find out? What would we do if we did manage to know the truth? After all, we were born connected to truth and look at how much energy we invested into trying to destroy that connection and manifest a fear driven illusion to replace it.
Our own instincts for survival no longer serve us in the same capacity that they once did. Any immediate and real danger pales in significance to the imagined fears that we ourselves crate. Humanity is solely responsible for the end result of our own fear based projections and perceptions. We have become confused and obsessed with creating discord. Creation of this sort has a much greater effect that has yet to revile itself in the present moment. There are clues of what we are actually affecting but these clues cannot be seen through the eyes we have chosen to see ourselves with. In the end the only aspect of our existence that will be lost is that which our ego has created. Only our ego could experience loss because only the ego values creations that it makes to keep us separated from love. Love cannot be created nor destroyed. Love can only be transmitted and received. Fear is a projection that blocks our ability to love. Nothing real has to be sacrificed because anything that is real is created out of love and is incapable of ever being destroyed. Our imaginations are being stimulated by our instincts for survival. Our instincts are ruled by fear which has limited our ability to create out of love. There is no species of predators that are currently hunting us.
Humanity is the only species on earth that prey on each other as a means of distraction from self.
When we believe that we are thinking of ourselves the chances are that we are actually allowing our thinking to be directed by our ego.
We have instincts for survival that are activated by fears which have become so bored that we have resorted to hunting each other. Without the threat of real danger our instincts have actually enlisted the aid of our imagination to keep themselves busy. When imagination is filtered through fear and ego it creates physical manifestations that are separated from love.
Try to imagine the instinctual fear based part of our brain as a person who used to have plenty of work but is now basically unemployable due to the lack of real demand for its services. This little guy is trying to create scenarios to make it feel like he is still an asset in the same capacity he once was. The problem is that his activity is pointless and actually causes more harm than good. He is actually a master at creating busy work which is reflected in what motivates so many of us in our quest for self fulfillment. Fulfillment of self is impossible without a connection to the love of the spiritual realm. He doesn’t even know that he is actually causing major problems for his co-workers, the more rational parts of the brain, and continues to engage in mindless busy work that is self defeating in nature.
Through out the history of man our instincts have been instrumental for our perceived survival. The main error that occurs when we rely on our instincts to dictate our actions is that they are not capable of seeing the truth. Once fear is introduced into the equation it becomes impossible to conduct ourselves in a rational manner. We have fallen into a trap of allowing our fear driven instincts to guide us through life. The life that we have forged under the direction of our fear driven instincts has little to do with truth and is completely lacking in love. It is not possible to be connected to love and experience fear of the imagined variety.
The more time that we have to be left to our own devices the more errors we have made. Do you remember the old saying “idle hands lets the devils work be done”? Well the devil is our fear driven instincts that don’t know what to do with all of the free time.
Our evolution will continue which is reflected in what we have learned about our past. Look at how much different the humanoid looks now as opposed to a billion years ago. Looks can be really deceiving when you stop to consider just how much fear of the imagined variety is still impeding our ability to operate at our true potential.
Not to long ago we were really guided by our instincts. Most of our days were spent trying to sustain a basic existence for our family and ourselves. Food and shelter were not taken for granted back then. Surviving was a full time job. Fulfilling our basic needs is still a full time job except now we punch time clocks and buy our food at grocery stores. Our perception of survival has shifted in order to appease the instinctual part of our brain. At the very moment our survival shifted into a perception was the moment that our instinctual brain manifested an ego to be able to rationalize its function to its owner. We are all the proud owners of our very own ego but the problem that is that it is our ego that actually owns us. It consumes our thoughts and dictates our actions. These days our actions are still very much guided by our instincts but our own ego has made this fact very difficult for us to see. Our ego has the ability to utilize our entire brain in its illusion of survival. Needs never seem to be and if they are then more demands are made. The demands of the ego become increasingly more distorted the further an individual gets away from the truth. The imbalance of the spiritual and instinctual mind is at the root of the egos existence and continued manifestation.
They say that the quality of life that we share is far removed from that of our ancestors. Can a quality life be realized without the presence of love? The quality of anything material can only be judged by the ego that beholds it. If you stop to think about it you can see that life just really isn’t that much different today as opposed to back then. Our external environment appears to have advanced but what about our inner selves? How much energy are we still investing into our fear driven reaction to life? Only the ego reacts to life outside the present moment and does so only to satisfy the instinctual part of our brain. In the present moment the ego is only capable of perceiving and projecting as a means of manifesting reactions o the future. This insane cycle centers on our fear driven instincts that have become warped with the passage of time. Our technological advancements have supposedly freed up time that used to be spent hunting, gathering and building shelter. Once the shelter had been built the prison inside the mind begins to take shape and form.
The prison that our ego has built shapes our beliefs and forms our reality.
This is why we are still busier than we have ever been. Our ego imprisons the mind and puts its owner to work in order to sustain its control. We are totally addicted to keeping ourselves as busy as we possibly can because our ego is unwilling to sit with the thoughts and feelings that it is responsible for creating. This is the type of creation that the ego has become masterful at manifesting.
Staying busy is not the problem but the motivation for our business is. There is a giant difference between business driven by ego and business motivated by love. When we create for the sole purpose of sustaining our egos mission of separating us from love we have become conflicted on a core level. When a business is inspired by love it has the potential to bring people together rather than tear them apart.
Our minds have made it impossible to connect to the truth and love that lies within each and every one of us. In countries such as the United States we have become a nation of convenience but we also seem to be wound up tighter than we have ever been. Past civilizations such are the Roman Empire achieved similar standards of living relative to that day and age and look what happened to them. The needy nature of the ego dictates that it will continue to want more and still more until it actually takes itself out.
The objective eye of the spirit knows that the ego that has everything is no less content that the ego that has nothing. The objective eye of the spirit knows that the ego that perceives itself as having everything is really in the exact same state of nonexistence as the ego that perceives that it has nothing. The only thing that seems different is the way in which these egos project themselves onto each other. Ironically every egos chief purpose is to reinforce the insane belief system of the other. Love doesn’t understand projection because it can only transmit.
So what are we doing with all of that left over time that has been freed up by the technology boom of the twenty first century? You’re looking at it! We are going around creating conflict and petty problems in order to keep our instincts occupied and our addiction to fear fed. One could argue that the technological boom manifested out of our collective egos need to maintain the separation between us and our spirits. Behind all of the space travel and satellites lies nothing more than a need of the ego to up the stakes in order to sustain its separation from truth and love. We can do anything that our creator can do but prove that we have created ourselves. If we conceded to the fact that there was a higher power involved in our creation then perhaps we could finally quit killing ourselves trying to prove that we are right. The only thing that we have created is our ego just to convince ourselves that a higher power is nonexistent.
It seems to me that this whole phase of evolution dating back to the time of the pyramids in Egypt has been about utilizing our instinctual drive to engineer the face of the modern world. Once again we have used our instincts to feed and shelter ourselves and we have done it in a big way. The modern world seems like a gigantic tweaker project that has kept us all occupied for a really long time. What is the driving force behind this planetary tweaker project? It was our fear driven instincts. It seems to me that Capitalism is really about cashing in on our instincts. Every single one of our basic needs that we think we have has appeared to be accommodated for a price.
Only our ego would charge a price for survival and rationalize the casualties of those who could not afford its fee.
As our more basic needs have been met we have been manipulated by each others ego into expanding our needs into the realm of perception rather than truth. The truth is that most of our needs are nothing more than desires that our ego has convinced us that we cannot live without. The spiritual element that has been at work behind the scenes is so difficult for us to see due to the fact that it is out of the shortsighted range of our own selfish needs. Where do our needs originate from? Why does it feel like it is never enough and we always believe that we need more? The primary reason why our needs never seem to be met is due to the fact that we have excluded love in the construction of our modern world. I believe that our primary purpose is to love and to be loved.
All of our perceived needs have manifested as a direct result of our inability to feel the love that is inside as well as all around us.
Lack of love is nothing more that a perception that we have convinced ourselves is real. With some of us our ego, which is driven by fear, has convinced us that we are not worthy of love. Others of us have egos that tell us that we are too good to be loved by anyone. Love is to be shared and not horded. This entire reality has manifested out of our need to fill the invisible hole that our rejection of love has created. This is the only real creation that our ego is capable of doing.
At this point there is nothing left for us to do except reconnect to the love of the spiritual realm or turn out the lights on this current manifestation and simply fade away. Sure we can continue to build faster computers and flashy cell phones that cater to our ego but what about the spiritual being that lie beneath our fear driven ego and all of its dysfunction? Our egos are obsessed with achieving contentment and peace within our minds while they are destroying everything outside of their short sighted needs to have it. Our collective feeling of inadequacy is a direct result of our extreme state of spiritual disconnect. The spiritual disconnect that I am speaking of is not of the religious variety. Religion has actually caused a great many of us to reject the idea of spirituality all together. Any religion invested in control through fear and guilt is far from spiritually connected. The spiritual connection that I am referring to has everything to do with individual responsibility and integrity. In the end we are each responsible for our own state of being. Our main problem is that so many of us have absolutely no idea to what extent we have led ourselves astray with our insane thinking and beliefs.
We can keep on watching the scientific communities think that they have figured something out while they create even more confusion. Have you ever heard the old saying “if it isn’t broke then don’t fix it”? Well we were not defective until we began to start playing god in the form of the global science project that is doing absolutely nothing to address the root of our perceived ailment. These so called “scientists” dissect our organic genius in hopes of gaining accolades and praise from their peers. We can thank the ego of science for such marvels as the nuclear bomb, prescription drugs, toxic waste, biological warfare growth hormones and many more. We have been traveling to space for over thirty years now and still don’t have any sort of answers to the eternal questions that have always plagued humanity. What is the motivation behind most of the so-called scientific advancements that we appear to have made? Is it to bring us closer together? Is it to help us unite in a loving understanding that is free of ego and fear? Science is motivated by fear and profit. Money is the driving force behind all of our technological breakthroughs that we have made. Scientists are educated from a prospective that teaches them that fear is real when in fact it is not. They believe that their own intellect will actually be sufficient substitute to the love of the universe. What is real is the separation that exists between us and spiritual love which is a direct result of us believing that our fears are in deed fact. We cannot continue to build up this world that our collective egos project unless we were also blind to the fact that in doing so we are actually manifesting our own extinction.
The instincts that almost drove me to total self-destruction are the same instincts that are spelling out a similar fate for humanity. My self-centered fears were intensified under the influence of my escalating substance abuse. Our collective addictions are escalating in direct proportion to our intensifying fears that are not even real. Our individual obsessions may vary from one person to the next. Each one of us probably has a pretty good idea of what our own obsession might be. For most of us our obsessions have become the friend we love to hate. It is probably really hard for some of us to see the truth about ourselves because our ego obscures the truth from being seen. Once we get that ego out of the way we can admit to ourselves what actions we take which are making our lives unmanageable. At the core of our individual obsessions are our own fear driven instincts. The fears manifested by our instincts are not real.
The fears that we experience are manufactured by our own minds.
The spiritual realm is something that is hard for most of us to consider because our perceived instinctual needs have not been satisfied. These “needs” will never be met as long as we remain disconnected from our own spirit and the love that defines it. Our own nature dictates that we must see to our primary needs before we can elevate our thoughts to higher levels of consciousness. When primary needs become obsessions that have little significance outside of accessorizing our egos perceived sense of self we have become confused. We were given everything that we needed to meet our basic needs but for most of us they still have not seem to have been fulfilled. This perceived “lacking” is nothing more that an illusion created by our fear driven ego. We need to reconnect to love and truth. It is impossible to do this as long as we are still answering to the endless needs demands of our ego. Our ego actually develops as a result of our rejection of love. We are created to create out of love but without a connection to the spiritual realm we will create out of fear. To make matters worse will actually love our creations which were made out of fear. In the end this means that we actually love fear and fear love. This is about as confused a scenario that we could have gotten ourselves into.
We are all animals. Behind the billions of years of evolution and the latest technological accessories that we use to keep ourselves entertained with we are still quite UN-evolved. We are nothing more that the latest and, some may argue greatest species that the animal kingdom has to offer. We are actually living breathing hybrids of ourselves. Our minds are stuck between our past and our future. The confusion we are experiencing needs to be addressed in order to impede the manifestation of fear that is not necessary. We have reached a point in our own evolution that we must tap into our spiritual energy or become fossil fuel for future inhabitants of the earth. We posses all of the mental faculties needed to think of ourselves as being in a class of our own. It is our free will that separates us from all the other animals on the planet. Our instinct which is our obvious common denominator that we share with the rest of the animals is interfering with our ability to exercise our will freely. Our free will that is driven by our instincts has the power to drive all of the plant and animal species of our planet into extinction. Our collective ability to exercise free will is literally a weapon of mass destruction when it is controlled by our fear driven ego.
We have slaughtered entire populations of animals and each other just because we could. We have slaughtered each other out of our need to believe that we are different. Such senseless displays of brutality are a reflection of the state of mind that man has always possessed. Actions such as these are a direct reflection of our lack of spiritual connection. It appears that we have not been at a place inside of our minds to grasp the larger, more universal scope of our existence until now. I see that the potential now exists for humanity to elevate its collective consciousness to a more spiritual and humane plane of awareness. Just because we have the capacity to transcend our old ideas does not mean that we will necessarily do so. We have a choice today just as we always had. We have an opportunity to collectively choose what ever type of existence we wish. The main problem is that almost none of us are not in a mind set to make a conscious choice that is reflective of whom we truly are. Most of us have no idea who the real person benieth the ego and fear truly is. We only know what we see and what we hear and have accepted this information as fact. The information that our minds generate when they are ruled by fear and ego and disconnected from love and truth is false. We have reached a stage in our evolution that we can actually begin to dissolve the self-imposed mental bondage that we have accepted as fact for far too long. Our collective mindset is quite deeply ingrained as well and supported by the external world that we have collectively manifested. In this respect we have not changed at all and in this lies our challenge.
On a global scale history has been repeating itself for far too long.
The details of our insane reenactment of events may seem different on the surface but at the core of our beliefs lies the same fear driven ego that has always stifled us from reaching our true potential.
The only way that we will ever realize this potential is to reconnect to our own inner truth and see our fear driven egos for what they really are. And what is the ego and why have I become so obsessed with trying to figure it out? The ego in all of its lovely little disguises is our number one offender. It is the chief instigator of all of the conflict and apparent evil that we perceive in our world. Our entire social structure is supported by our ego and has become a safe haven for its insane beliefs to take shape and form. We are literally living inside a bubble. The bubble that I am referring to is invisible and yet it has the ability to totally separate us from experiencing the spiritual beings that we really are.
The Romans used to send slaves into coliseums to die horrible deaths at the hands of predatory animals that they kept locked up for this sole purpose. The Mayans would slaughter tens of thousands in human sacrifices that were intended to control the minds of their own people. We exploit the poor and work them to death. We killed thousands of our own people in the trade center bombing just to instill that same fear in the minds of the masses today. These days we play football in stadiums and keep animals locked up in zoos.
We are only acting out in such insane ways because of the fact that we keep our own minds locked up and take it out on the rest of the planet.
If we really were free to think as we were intended then our actions would become more humane. If our actions became more humane then we could transcend the struggles of this reality that always keep us needing something else.
We have been trial and erring our way to this point in time for quite a while. These days we would never make a conscious decision to purposely go out and slaughter billions of plants and animals. Even if our own denial and rationalizations keep us from admitting it, we are taking actions on a daily basis to do just that. Sure we are not physically murdering subspecies for the hell of it but the very manner that we conduct ourselves is jeopardizing every other living creature on the planet as well as humanity itself. Subtle or obvious, the collective ego of mankind is as separated from love and truth as it has ever been. The more that we learn about the effects of our actions the more denial and rationalizations we have to manifest in order to excuse the truth away. Excuses are nothing more that excused lies.
We have imprisoned our minds, which has imprisoned our will and as a result we have turned ourselves into the planets heaviest burden rather than its greatest asset. In my opinion we cannot exists on this planet alone. We have a symbiotic relationship with all of the other living species of plant and animal life. Make no mistake about it the same selfish state of mind that is directly and indirectly killing off all of the plants and animals is also taking its toll on itself. We just happen to focus our attention on the plight of the sub spices because we have egos that have convinced us that we are different. We have confused ourselves into believing that we can save the same species that we are responsible for destroying. With every barrel of toxic waste that we dump in the ocean, we have to come up with some sort of rationalization to tell ourselves so our conscious doesn’t get the better of us. Our conscious not only has to get the better of us but it is essential that this happens in order for us to continue to participate in our own evolution. The only reason that so many animals have died is because our ego has fooled us into believing that it has had to be done in the name of progress. The progress that we are so invested in experiencing is serving our ego and its determined drive to keep us separated from love. Where else except in an irrational mind controlled by fear and ego would killing and destruction be viewed as progress? We cannot continue to view ourselves as separate or unique from the rest of the living planet. It is this perception of terminal uniqueness that is allowing us to remain in denial of the fact that we are manifesting our own extinction.
Due to the way we are programmed or wired or what ever you want to call it we seem to be conflicted between our past and the future. This is the latest phase in the never-ending evolution of humanity. This segment of evolution that we are currently passing through is one of great confusion for most of us. The fear that we create in our minds and project onto those around us is making the truth much more difficult to see. We are all engaged in an inner conflict that is happening between our higher and lower minds. Our instincts are in a further state of confusion because they no longer serve the same purpose that they once did. They have become warped with the passage of time. Any real immediate threat of life or bodily injury is a mind creation that we have accepted as being fact.
In comparison to the not so distant past we have appeared to become a civilized global community.
An organized social structure is mechanical and without meaning if it is devout of love.
Most of us are beginning to become very conscious of the lack of love that our civilization breeds and will begin to question the very foundation on which this structure stands in the near future. Our self will has also been limited to create within the confines a structure that is based in fear and manipulated control. We have not become as civilized as we will ever be. We will never become complete until we can reconnect to our own spiritual being that is currently being obscured by our fear driven response to life. Everything is in a constant state of change and evolution. As long as the universe continues to expand we will continue to evolve.
The past is something to be learned from but not something to fight to the death to hold onto. One truth that can be extracted from our past is that we have been separated from our spiritual self and identifying with our ego for a long time. Acceptance is a crucial principle that we need to practice when riding the universally dictated wave of change. We must surrender to the truth that we have led ourselves astray and accept love back into our minds. We have become increasingly conflicted due to the transformation that is occurring inside of us. We are reaching a time of critical mass in the slow moving exchange that is occurring between our lives being guided by instincts to our life being guided by our higher consciousness. The inner compulsion still exists within each of us to summon our instincts to guide us and react to our perceptions in an insane manner.
So what do we do when there is no immediate threat of danger? We manufacture one. We are drama queens who have locked ourselves away inside self imposed situations of crisis. Our instinctual response to life is a very deeply ingrained reflex that has been a primary part of our mindset for millions of years. Like I was saying earlier, just because it was once a key to our survival doesn’t mean that it still serves that same importance today. Is a wild boar charging you right now? Is the snow beginning to pound down on your family and you and your mud hutch is only half built?
What real and immediate danger are you faced with in this moment? Is there a man attacking you with a knife? The answer is no because at this very moment you are reading a book so chill out! If a man were attacking you he would be following the direction of his fear driven egos projections. Think about it, when have you ever seen babies attacking each other? This is not a behavior that we are born with but rather one that we absorb from the insane world we have no choice in becoming a participant in. This is not to say that we will never be faced with a life-threatening situation but until it happens we cannot afford to continue living our life anticipating the moment that is does. People are faced with life threatening situations on a daily basis. Children get trapped underneath moving cars and in those types of moments our instincts for survival will always be our most trusted alley. Our fear-driven instincts have manifested strong egos within the minds of us all. These fear driven egos were created as a last ditch effort for the instinctual part of our brain to maintain control.
Now that we have built our modern world our focus will begin to turn inward. This world is nothing more that a projection of the collective minds that manifested it. This existence as we perceive it would not be this way without our egos having played a primary role in influencing its construction.
The coming years could be filled with great confusion. Like I said earlier we are hitting the most crucial part of this phase of evolution. It is literally going feel that there is a battle being waged inside of us. Awakening requires us to experience a moment of clarity where we can actually see our existence for what it really is. In this moment we will each be able to view our individual inner truth with an objectivity that has been lacking at any other time in our life. These moments of clarity will begin to occur with increasing regularity, which should be viewed as an opportunity to begin to live our life in a manner that may seem foreign while identification with the ego is still occurring. We will all be afforded the opportunity to become guided by a set of spiritual principles that are connected to universal truth.
Ironically we are all born connected to the truth but have lost touch with it along our path to ego fulfillment.
That battle that feels like it is happening inside of us is between our warped instincts and manifesting higher consciousness. The key to surviving this transition is to become accepting of it and not to react to it with more fear driven projection. We will be experiencing a shift in our consciousness which will be caused by the universe at large. We have to allow the flow of evolution to transmit through ourselves and not block it with fear and ego. Keep in mind that the spiritual energy of love has to be able to guide us to this new plane of existence. The change will occur and there is nothing that we can do to impede it. We can however impede our own transformation from occurring in harmony with the universe at large. In the end this blockage would only affect us in the physical realm but would essentially do nothing to our spirits. The more fear driven our ego is the more of a regenerative effect this event will induce. What ever is blocking us from experiencing love will be dissolved one way or the other.
The titanic comes to mind when I try to come up with a good analogy that you would understand. Let’s just say that the ship is the collective consciousness of humanity as it is right now. It is burdened with a cumbersome load of baggage that is causing it to sink into a sea of its own fear driven ego. This burden would be lifted if we could dissolve the ego that is creating it and thus allow the ship to continue to sail its course. Even if the ship remains commandeered by our fear driven ego it will sink and the passengers would be lost but the course of evolution would continue on as it always has. The question you should ask yourself is whether or not you want to ride this tide of evolution or sink in a fear saturated sea of our own manifestation? Even in this scenario we need to be able to surrender to the transformation that is occurring inside of us. Regardless of what our mind says we should realize that the universe determines the changes that are driving our transformation.
We are literally alive during a period of unbelievable opportunity. We are the cast of characters that have been born into the world to usher in an entirely new stage of human existence. We are also the cast of characters that could spell out a fate of a much different sort if we do not change our ways. This could either be a time of transformation or regeneration for humanity.
We could all be living out the final days of what will one day be reflected on as the dark age of modern civilization or we could be the members of humanity that are responsible for pounding the final nail into our own collective coffin.
The physical realm of our reality is totally dependent upon our ability to elevate our consciousness to a higher plane. We need to surrender to the transformation that is going on inside of us. Attempting to combat the confusion will only lead to greater turmoil. We must have faith in the process and allow it to unfold. Believe me when I say that too many of us have our identities warped around our fear driven instincts as well as all of the liabilities of character that come along with live lived in this manner. Our perceived instinctual drive to survive has manifested fears into areas of our life that were not even there before. In other words we are experiencing quality problems today. All of these problems exist because we create them or lack the ability to see the truth beneath the manipulation of our fear driven egos.
The purpose of this book is to share my first hand experience with fear and ego and show you how it brought me to my knees. You will get to know me on the most intimate of levels so that you can best relate to me. I am not suggesting anything in this book that I have not done myself. I do not believe that extreme measures are needed to remedy our current social struggles. All I am suggesting is that we achieve a collective balance between the physical and spiritual realm before the balance is forced upon us by our planet and our collective mindset that is rapidly approaching its breaking point. I know that my very life is dependent on me undergoing this process and for some reason I feel absolutely compelled to share this message with you.

Making sense of it all
The first thing that we need to understand is that this reality is insane. We will never be able to make sense out of something that is absolutely senseless.
We are living in the remnants of a deceased dream. The minds that created this dream have died long ago. For some reason we continue to hold on to this creation as if it were our own. The only reason that this reality continues is because we still support it with our minds.
The external environment of this "dream" may seem to have become more evolved but this too is only an illusion. The only change that has occurred at all is in the physical realm. We have focused all of our attention into manifesting our environment just so we could avoid facing our own individual truth. In the end we have done nothing but postpone our collective inevitability. The world we have constructed is missing one ingredient which is literally everything in the spiritual realm.
We have designed a social structure to keep ourselves disconnected from the spiritual love that is everywhere and everything. The spiritual realm has not gone anywhere but we have been trying to convince ourselves that it has disserted us or worse yet, that it was never there to begin with. This type of material evolution that we have become so obsessed with is nothing more than a manifestation of the collective egos that have projected it.
It seems to me that our egos have become addicted to making us believe that we are evolving. Our egos quest for material distractions has certainly seemed to evolve. We keep churning out the gadgits and gizmos that all seem to add up to a massive amount of energy that could be used to bring us together.
In order for us to ever really evolve we must become conscious of our own actions. We will never grow spiritually as long as we continue to judge each other while exonerating ourselves of accepting any responsibility for our own individual part. Almost all of our actions are dictated by our fear driven ego. We manifested our own ego in order to be able to adapt to the world that the egos before us have left behind. The collective ego of humanity is insane and perhaps in the innocence of our youth we intuitively knew this.
I believe that we are all born connected to the truth and eventually trade in truth for "knowledge". The "knowledge" that our fear driven ego teaches is anything but truth. The type of knowledge created by our ego translates into pointless activity, both mentally and physically, that is designed to compromise our individual connection to our own inner truth.
The ego will become extremely inventive and manipulative to maintain its fear driven separation from the truth because it sees love and truth as its direct threat. The truth is that we are disconnected from the spiritual realm and will continue to be as long as we mistake our fear driven ego as being who we really are. Each one of us has a part in the collective effort that needs to be made in order to free our minds from our ego and reconnect to the truth.
All of the ego and denial in the world will not make our situation disappear. Many of us are not even aware that we have gotten ourselves into a situation at all. Ego and denial are of the world that we have created but we are connected to something far more powerful. We are using our free will against ourselves whenever it is driven by fear and controlled by ego. Free will should come without cost or fee for the person who exercises it. A creative will that is really free has no interest in charging a price because it knows that such an act would only dilute its creation. We are missing out on an opportunity to share a collective existence worth living.
Love is priceless and without its ability to freely express itself through each and every one of us it becomes our most elusive commodity. No material substitution shall ever take the place of love and all that it has the potential to create. With every selfish and self-serving action that each of us take we are pushing humanity closer to the brink of self-destruction. The self destruction that I speak of is merely a sort of ego armaggedon. What the ego has created will eventually fall. It has no choice in the matter. I believe that the egos fall from grace will occur in the very near future but the only question I have is weather we will go down with it. This is basically the whole point of my message.
We have built this world out of a need to have something, anything that can make us feel complete. Destruction of the self that the ego has made of us and freedom from self imposed bondage is literally one in the same. Just in case you find this particulary hard to follow I want you to let you know that you are not alone. The very fact that we have allowed such a large portion of our identity to become wrapped around our ego will make our reaction to the truth that much more difficult to hear. Look I can only speak from my own experience on the subject and it is a very tricky situation to deal with. Change is something that most of us do not welcome with open arms. I fought change tooth and nail for the majority of my life.
I was a master of shifting the shape and form of what my life looked like on the outside. I was constantly making changes for my self that I truly believed were going to make things better in the long run. Rearranging and manipulating my external world always left me with the same feeling in the end. It was the exact same feeling that I had before I did what ever it was that I felt compelled to do that I thought would change me. Looking back on this endless percession of meneuvers I discovered the correlating motivation behind my inner compulsion. My ego had literally masterminded all of the actions that I took. The motivation for these actions was always fear. Sometimes the fear would disguise itself as ambition. Other times the fear would disguise itself as a desire to have new experiences.
The truth is that fear could disguise itself as just about anything and I would be more than willing to cosign its bullshit. Why would I be willing to do such a thing? Because I have an ego that hates to be wrong and loves to try to control me. Am I my ego? I am my ego only if I continue to identify with it. Why on earth would I want to identify with something that is directly responsible for closing me off to having spiritual connections with the people that are in my life? I would do this only because I did not realize that there was another way. I would continue to surround myself with people who also identified with an ego of their very own. It is my experience that there are a ridiculous number of people in the world who also think their ego is who they are. For a long time I was not even aware that I was denying myself of the only type of shared human interaction that really mattered.
There were enough distractions in the form of substances, posessions, and others who thought just as I did to keep myself busy for a really long time. Thankfully for me that time finally ran out and when it did I found myself seeing my life in a totally different light.
We have lost touch with the organic beauty that the human experience has to offer. Any existence which is separated from love is synthesized at best. We have manifested a synthetic reality that we have become obsessed with maintaining in order to keep the truth from being felt. Fear is evil, plain and simple. We can dress it up and dramatize it however we wish. We can make movies about it by channeling our imaginations onto the big screen. We can tap into our own inner resource of fear that is always available. Mind you that fear is its own separate entity that is incapable of transmitting like love does. Fear is the master of illusion. Fear has to resort to all sorts of deception in order to get our minds to believe that it is real.
Fear and terror have been the chief vehicles of manipulation and control since the beginning of time.
We should never fear the God of our own understanding. God is neither good nor bad. God is everything. The idea of God translates into love and truth for me. I can create my own higher power just as we all can. If you have a problem with what your own beliefs are then there is a pretty good chance that you will also have a problem with mine as well. Part of our problem is that we just can’t stop imposing our beliefs on each other. Beliefs are of the ego while ideas are universal. We will stop at nothing to keep the attention off of our selves and how our own beliefs are affecting those around us.
In the end, it won’t be God that punished us. The whole idea of a punishing God is ridiculous. God has had no hand in our current reality.
Our perceived existence is a direct result of our decision to exclude a power greater than ourselves in on its construction.
The spiritual realm works as best as it can within the confines of the existence we have made for ourselves. Lifetimes have passed us by without rhyme or reason. In our hindsight we have witnessed the man made change of our egos own seasons. Slow incubation and steady demise of conscious contact with a power greater than us is evident in the social structure that is in place. If we were to include love and truth in our creation then it would feel totally different. Our world has manifested as a direct result of our fear driven actions that are self-serving in nature. The unnatural has become the reactionary reflex of the ego and all that it embodies. This reality that we have built is not the end result of a collective consciousness that is connected to the love and truth of the spiritual realm.
The truth of our situation is that we just can’t seem to help ourselves. We can’t stop but help ourselves to more of what ever we obsess over that we believe will make us complete. We hide true happiness from ourselves. We keep our egos insulated inside a material womb while attempting to convince one another that this womb is a suitable substitution to true love. We are living in extreme denial and have become addicted to fear and pain that we ourselves create. We obsess over things that feed our ego because as long as it is being fed then it knows that we won’t have any time left to connect to our spirit.
Why is it that everything tangible always leaves us feeling empty on the inside? Will there ever be enough of that “stuff” to make us feel complete. The tangibility of the material realm often maintains our perception of the spiritual realm as being completely intangible. The material realm will keep us busy and distracted but will it ever give us peace? Our physical and material obsessions are a direct reflection of our spiritual disconnection. We are running from the truth as fast as we can. On our own self imposed mental treadmill we are being chased by our ego and its incessant demands. Our egos are pushing us along at a blistering pace just so we do not have time to remember what we actually are. We were created out of truth and love. Truth and love is literally all around us but we are too self obsessed to see it.
We have built a fortress out of steel and concrete to convince ourselves that we are capable of existing in a state of spiritual disconnect.
The flow of the universe is gradual and precise. Love and truth do not have an ego that is driven by fear. It does not care what it looks like or what kind of car it drives. The flow of nature is the same as eternity, which is the universe. The universe created our planet. The force of Mother Nature, which is controlled by the flow of the universe, dictates the evolution of humanity, as we know it to be in the physical sense. Humanity is evolutionary work in progress.
As long as the universe continues to expand will we continue to evolve? Perhaps it might be the other way around in that the universe will only continue to expand if we continue to expand our own spiritual viewpoint? Is this the cosmic size question of which came first the chicken or the egg? Do we really think that I will ever find out? What would we do if we did manage to know the truth? After all, we were born connected to truth and look at how much energy we invested into trying to destroy that connection and manifest a fear driven illusion to replace it.
Our own instincts for survival no longer serve us in the same capacity that they once did. Any immediate and real danger pales in significance to the imagined fears that we ourselves crate. Humanity is solely responsible for the end result of our own fear based projections and perceptions. We have become confused and obsessed with creating discord. Creation of this sort has a much greater effect that has yet to revile itself in the present moment. There are clues of what we are actually affecting but these clues cannot be seen through the eyes we have chosen to see ourselves with. In the end the only aspect of our existence that will be lost is that which our ego has created. Only our ego could experience loss because only the ego values creations that it makes to keep us separated from love. Love cannot be created nor destroyed. Love can only be transmitted and received. Fear is a projection that blocks our ability to love. Nothing real has to be sacrificed because anything that is real is created out of love and is incapable of ever being destroyed. Our imaginations are being stimulated by our instincts for survival. Our instincts are ruled by fear which has limited our ability to create out of love. There is no species of predators that are currently hunting us.
Humanity is the only species on earth that prey on each other as a means of distraction from self.
When we believe that we are thinking of ourselves the chances are that we are actually allowing our thinking to be directed by our ego.
We have instincts for survival that are activated by fears which have become so bored that we have resorted to hunting each other. Without the threat of real danger our instincts have actually enlisted the aid of our imagination to keep themselves busy. When imagination is filtered through fear and ego it creates physical manifestations that are separated from love.
Try to imagine the instinctual fear based part of our brain as a person who used to have plenty of work but is now basically unemployable due to the lack of real demand for its services. This little guy is trying to create scenarios to make it feel like he is still an asset in the same capacity he once was. The problem is that his activity is pointless and actually causes more harm than good. He is actually a master at creating busy work which is reflected in what motivates so many of us in our quest for self fulfillment. Fulfillment of self is impossible without a connection to the love of the spiritual realm. He doesn’t even know that he is actually causing major problems for his co-workers, the more rational parts of the brain, and continues to engage in mindless busy work that is self defeating in nature.
Through out the history of man our instincts have been instrumental for our perceived survival. The main error that occurs when we rely on our instincts to dictate our actions is that they are not capable of seeing the truth. Once fear is introduced into the equation it becomes impossible to conduct ourselves in a rational manner. We have fallen into a trap of allowing our fear driven instincts to guide us through life. The life that we have forged under the direction of our fear driven instincts has little to do with truth and is completely lacking in love. It is not possible to be connected to love and experience fear of the imagined variety.
The more time that we have to be left to our own devices the more errors we have made. Do you remember the old saying “idle hands lets the devils work be done”? Well the devil is our fear driven instincts that don’t know what to do with all of the free time.
Our evolution will continue which is reflected in what we have learned about our past. Look at how much different the humanoid looks now as opposed to a billion years ago. Looks can be really deceiving when you stop to consider just how much fear of the imagined variety is still impeding our ability to operate at our true potential.
Not to long ago we were really guided by our instincts. Most of our days were spent trying to sustain a basic existence for our family and ourselves. Food and shelter were not taken for granted back then. Surviving was a full time job. Fulfilling our basic needs is still a full time job except now we punch time clocks and buy our food at grocery stores. Our perception of survival has shifted in order to appease the instinctual part of our brain. At the very moment our survival shifted into a perception was the moment that our instinctual brain manifested an ego to be able to rationalize its function to its owner. We are all the proud owners of our very own ego but the problem that is that it is our ego that actually owns us. It consumes our thoughts and dictates our actions. These days our actions are still very much guided by our instincts but our own ego has made this fact very difficult for us to see. Our ego has the ability to utilize our entire brain in its illusion of survival. Needs never seem to be and if they are then more demands are made. The demands of the ego become increasingly more distorted the further an individual gets away from the truth. The imbalance of the spiritual and instinctual mind is at the root of the egos existence and continued manifestation.
They say that the quality of life that we share is far removed from that of our ancestors. Can a quality life be realized without the presence of love? The quality of anything material can only be judged by the ego that beholds it. If you stop to think about it you can see that life just really isn’t that much different today as opposed to back then. Our external environment appears to have advanced but what about our inner selves? How much energy are we still investing into our fear driven reaction to life? Only the ego reacts to life outside the present moment and does so only to satisfy the instinctual part of our brain. In the present moment the ego is only capable of perceiving and projecting as a means of manifesting reactions o the future. This insane cycle centers on our fear driven instincts that have become warped with the passage of time. Our technological advancements have supposedly freed up time that used to be spent hunting, gathering and building shelter. Once the shelter had been built the prison inside the mind begins to take shape and form.
The prison that our ego has built shapes our beliefs and forms our reality.
This is why we are still busier than we have ever been. Our ego imprisons the mind and puts its owner to work in order to sustain its control. We are totally addicted to keeping ourselves as busy as we possibly can because our ego is unwilling to sit with the thoughts and feelings that it is responsible for creating. This is the type of creation that the ego has become masterful at manifesting.
Staying busy is not the problem but the motivation for our business is. There is a giant difference between business driven by ego and business motivated by love. When we create for the sole purpose of sustaining our egos mission of separating us from love we have become conflicted on a core level. When a business is inspired by love it has the potential to bring people together rather than tear them apart.
Our minds have made it impossible to connect to the truth and love that lies within each and every one of us. In countries such as the United States we have become a nation of convenience but we also seem to be wound up tighter than we have ever been. Past civilizations such are the Roman Empire achieved similar standards of living relative to that day and age and look what happened to them. The needy nature of the ego dictates that it will continue to want more and still more until it actually takes itself out.
The objective eye of the spirit knows that the ego that has everything is no less content that the ego that has nothing. The objective eye of the spirit knows that the ego that perceives itself as having everything is really in the exact same state of nonexistence as the ego that perceives that it has nothing. The only thing that seems different is the way in which these egos project themselves onto each other. Ironically every egos chief purpose is to reinforce the insane belief system of the other. Love doesn’t understand projection because it can only transmit.
So what are we doing with all of that left over time that has been freed up by the technology boom of the twenty first century? You’re looking at it! We are going around creating conflict and petty problems in order to keep our instincts occupied and our addiction to fear fed. One could argue that the technological boom manifested out of our collective egos need to maintain the separation between us and our spirits. Behind all of the space travel and satellites lies nothing more than a need of the ego to up the stakes in order to sustain its separation from truth and love. We can do anything that our creator can do but prove that we have created ourselves. If we conceded to the fact that there was a higher power involved in our creation then perhaps we could finally quit killing ourselves trying to prove that we are right. The only thing that we have created is our ego just to convince ourselves that a higher power is nonexistent.
It seems to me that this whole phase of evolution dating back to the time of the pyramids in Egypt has been about utilizing our instinctual drive to engineer the face of the modern world. Once again we have used our instincts to feed and shelter ourselves and we have done it in a big way. The modern world seems like a gigantic tweaker project that has kept us all occupied for a really long time. What is the driving force behind this planetary tweaker project? It was our fear driven instincts. It seems to me that Capitalism is really about cashing in on our instincts. Every single one of our basic needs that we think we have has appeared to be accommodated for a price.
Only our ego would charge a price for survival and rationalize the casualties of those who could not afford its fee.
As our more basic needs have been met we have been manipulated by each others ego into expanding our needs into the realm of perception rather than truth. The truth is that most of our needs are nothing more than desires that our ego has convinced us that we cannot live without. The spiritual element that has been at work behind the scenes is so difficult for us to see due to the fact that it is out of the shortsighted range of our own selfish needs. Where do our needs originate from? Why does it feel like it is never enough and we always believe that we need more? The primary reason why our needs never seem to be met is due to the fact that we have excluded love in the construction of our modern world. I believe that our primary purpose is to love and to be loved.
All of our perceived needs have manifested as a direct result of our inability to feel the love that is inside as well as all around us.
Lack of love is nothing more that a perception that we have convinced ourselves is real. With some of us our ego, which is driven by fear, has convinced us that we are not worthy of love. Others of us have egos that tell us that we are too good to be loved by anyone. Love is to be shared and not horded. This entire reality has manifested out of our need to fill the invisible hole that our rejection of love has created. This is the only real creation that our ego is capable of doing.
At this point there is nothing left for us to do except reconnect to the love of the spiritual realm or turn out the lights on this current manifestation and simply fade away. Sure we can continue to build faster computers and flashy cell phones that cater to our ego but what about the spiritual being that lie beneath our fear driven ego and all of its dysfunction? Our egos are obsessed with achieving contentment and peace within our minds while they are destroying everything outside of their short sighted needs to have it. Our collective feeling of inadequacy is a direct result of our extreme state of spiritual disconnect. The spiritual disconnect that I am speaking of is not of the religious variety. Religion has actually caused a great many of us to reject the idea of spirituality all together. Any religion invested in control through fear and guilt is far from spiritually connected. The spiritual connection that I am referring to has everything to do with individual responsibility and integrity. In the end we are each responsible for our own state of being. Our main problem is that so many of us have absolutely no idea to what extent we have led ourselves astray with our insane thinking and beliefs.
We can keep on watching the scientific communities think that they have figured something out while they create even more confusion. Have you ever heard the old saying “if it isn’t broke then don’t fix it”? Well we were not defective until we began to start playing god in the form of the global science project that is doing absolutely nothing to address the root of our perceived ailment. These so called “scientists” dissect our organic genius in hopes of gaining accolades and praise from their peers. We can thank the ego of science for such marvels as the nuclear bomb, prescription drugs, toxic waste, biological warfare growth hormones and many more. We have been traveling to space for over thirty years now and still don’t have any sort of answers to the eternal questions that have always plagued humanity. What is the motivation behind most of the so-called scientific advancements that we appear to have made? Is it to bring us closer together? Is it to help us unite in a loving understanding that is free of ego and fear? Science is motivated by fear and profit. Money is the driving force behind all of our technological breakthroughs that we have made. Scientists are educated from a prospective that teaches them that fear is real when in fact it is not. They believe that their own intellect will actually be sufficient substitute to the love of the universe. What is real is the separation that exists between us and spiritual love which is a direct result of us believing that our fears are in deed fact. We cannot continue to build up this world that our collective egos project unless we were also blind to the fact that in doing so we are actually manifesting our own extinction.
The instincts that almost drove me to total self-destruction are the same instincts that are spelling out a similar fate for humanity. My self-centered fears were intensified under the influence of my escalating substance abuse. Our collective addictions are escalating in direct proportion to our intensifying fears that are not even real. Our individual obsessions may vary from one person to the next. Each one of us probably has a pretty good idea of what our own obsession might be. For most of us our obsessions have become the friend we love to hate. It is probably really hard for some of us to see the truth about ourselves because our ego obscures the truth from being seen. Once we get that ego out of the way we can admit to ourselves what actions we take which are making our lives unmanageable. At the core of our individual obsessions are our own fear driven instincts. The fears manifested by our instincts are not real.
The fears that we experience are manufactured by our own minds.
The spiritual realm is something that is hard for most of us to consider because our perceived instinctual needs have not been satisfied. These “needs” will never be met as long as we remain disconnected from our own spirit and the love that defines it. Our own nature dictates that we must see to our primary needs before we can elevate our thoughts to higher levels of consciousness. When primary needs become obsessions that have little significance outside of accessorizing our egos perceived sense of self we have become confused. We were given everything that we needed to meet our basic needs but for most of us they still have not seem to have been fulfilled. This perceived “lacking” is nothing more that an illusion created by our fear driven ego. We need to reconnect to love and truth. It is impossible to do this as long as we are still answering to the endless needs demands of our ego. Our ego actually develops as a result of our rejection of love. We are created to create out of love but without a connection to the spiritual realm we will create out of fear. To make matters worse will actually love our creations which were made out of fear. In the end this means that we actually love fear and fear love. This is about as confused a scenario that we could have gotten ourselves into.
We are all animals. Behind the billions of years of evolution and the latest technological accessories that we use to keep ourselves entertained with we are still quite UN-evolved. We are nothing more that the latest and, some may argue greatest species that the animal kingdom has to offer. We are actually living breathing hybrids of ourselves. Our minds are stuck between our past and our future. The confusion we are experiencing needs to be addressed in order to impede the manifestation of fear that is not necessary. We have reached a point in our own evolution that we must tap into our spiritual energy or become fossil fuel for future inhabitants of the earth. We posses all of the mental faculties needed to think of ourselves as being in a class of our own. It is our free will that separates us from all the other animals on the planet. Our instinct which is our obvious common denominator that we share with the rest of the animals is interfering with our ability to exercise our will freely. Our free will that is driven by our instincts has the power to drive all of the plant and animal species of our planet into extinction. Our collective ability to exercise free will is literally a weapon of mass destruction when it is controlled by our fear driven ego.
We have slaughtered entire populations of animals and each other just because we could. We have slaughtered each other out of our need to believe that we are different. Such senseless displays of brutality are a reflection of the state of mind that man has always possessed. Actions such as these are a direct reflection of our lack of spiritual connection. It appears that we have not been at a place inside of our minds to grasp the larger, more universal scope of our existence until now. I see that the potential now exists for humanity to elevate its collective consciousness to a more spiritual and humane plane of awareness. Just because we have the capacity to transcend our old ideas does not mean that we will necessarily do so. We have a choice today just as we always had. We have an opportunity to collectively choose what ever type of existence we wish. The main problem is that almost none of us are not in a mind set to make a conscious choice that is reflective of whom we truly are. Most of us have no idea who the real person benieth the ego and fear truly is. We only know what we see and what we hear and have accepted this information as fact. The information that our minds generate when they are ruled by fear and ego and disconnected from love and truth is false. We have reached a stage in our evolution that we can actually begin to dissolve the self-imposed mental bondage that we have accepted as fact for far too long. Our collective mindset is quite deeply ingrained as well and supported by the external world that we have collectively manifested. In this respect we have not changed at all and in this lies our challenge.
On a global scale history has been repeating itself for far too long.
The details of our insane reenactment of events may seem different on the surface but at the core of our beliefs lies the same fear driven ego that has always stifled us from reaching our true potential.
The only way that we will ever realize this potential is to reconnect to our own inner truth and see our fear driven egos for what they really are. And what is the ego and why have I become so obsessed with trying to figure it out? The ego in all of its lovely little disguises is our number one offender. It is the chief instigator of all of the conflict and apparent evil that we perceive in our world. Our entire social structure is supported by our ego and has become a safe haven for its insane beliefs to take shape and form. We are literally living inside a bubble. The bubble that I am referring to is invisible and yet it has the ability to totally separate us from experiencing the spiritual beings that we really are.
The Romans used to send slaves into coliseums to die horrible deaths at the hands of predatory animals that they kept locked up for this sole purpose. The Mayans would slaughter tens of thousands in human sacrifices that were intended to control the minds of their own people. We exploit the poor and work them to death. We killed thousands of our own people in the trade center bombing just to instill that same fear in the minds of the masses today. These days we play football in stadiums and keep animals locked up in zoos.
We are only acting out in such insane ways because of the fact that we keep our own minds locked up and take it out on the rest of the planet.
If we really were free to think as we were intended then our actions would become more humane. If our actions became more humane then we could transcend the struggles of this reality that always keep us needing something else.
We have been trial and erring our way to this point in time for quite a while. These days we would never make a conscious decision to purposely go out and slaughter billions of plants and animals. Even if our own denial and rationalizations keep us from admitting it, we are taking actions on a daily basis to do just that. Sure we are not physically murdering subspecies for the hell of it but the very manner that we conduct ourselves is jeopardizing every other living creature on the planet as well as humanity itself. Subtle or obvious, the collective ego of mankind is as separated from love and truth as it has ever been. The more that we learn about the effects of our actions the more denial and rationalizations we have to manifest in order to excuse the truth away. Excuses are nothing more that excused lies.
We have imprisoned our minds, which has imprisoned our will and as a result we have turned ourselves into the planets heaviest burden rather than its greatest asset. In my opinion we cannot exists on this planet alone. We have a symbiotic relationship with all of the other living species of plant and animal life. Make no mistake about it the same selfish state of mind that is directly and indirectly killing off all of the plants and animals is also taking its toll on itself. We just happen to focus our attention on the plight of the sub spices because we have egos that have convinced us that we are different. We have confused ourselves into believing that we can save the same species that we are responsible for destroying. With every barrel of toxic waste that we dump in the ocean, we have to come up with some sort of rationalization to tell ourselves so our conscious doesn’t get the better of us. Our conscious not only has to get the better of us but it is essential that this happens in order for us to continue to participate in our own evolution. The only reason that so many animals have died is because our ego has fooled us into believing that it has had to be done in the name of progress. The progress that we are so invested in experiencing is serving our ego and its determined drive to keep us separated from love. Where else except in an irrational mind controlled by fear and ego would killing and destruction be viewed as progress? We cannot continue to view ourselves as separate or unique from the rest of the living planet. It is this perception of terminal uniqueness that is allowing us to remain in denial of the fact that we are manifesting our own extinction.
Due to the way we are programmed or wired or what ever you want to call it we seem to be conflicted between our past and the future. This is the latest phase in the never-ending evolution of humanity. This segment of evolution that we are currently passing through is one of great confusion for most of us. The fear that we create in our minds and project onto those around us is making the truth much more difficult to see. We are all engaged in an inner conflict that is happening between our higher and lower minds. Our instincts are in a further state of confusion because they no longer serve the same purpose that they once did. They have become warped with the passage of time. Any real immediate threat of life or bodily injury is a mind creation that we have accepted as being fact.
In comparison to the not so distant past we have appeared to become a civilized global community.
An organized social structure is mechanical and without meaning if it is devout of love.
Most of us are beginning to become very conscious of the lack of love that our civilization breeds and will begin to question the very foundation on which this structure stands in the near future. Our self will has also been limited to create within the confines a structure that is based in fear and manipulated control. We have not become as civilized as we will ever be. We will never become complete until we can reconnect to our own spiritual being that is currently being obscured by our fear driven response to life. Everything is in a constant state of change and evolution. As long as the universe continues to expand we will continue to evolve.
The past is something to be learned from but not something to fight to the death to hold onto. One truth that can be extracted from our past is that we have been separated from our spiritual self and identifying with our ego for a long time. Acceptance is a crucial principle that we need to practice when riding the universally dictated wave of change. We must surrender to the truth that we have led ourselves astray and accept love back into our minds. We have become increasingly conflicted due to the transformation that is occurring inside of us. We are reaching a time of critical mass in the slow moving exchange that is occurring between our lives being guided by instincts to our life being guided by our higher consciousness. The inner compulsion still exists within each of us to summon our instincts to guide us and react to our perceptions in an insane manner.
So what do we do when there is no immediate threat of danger? We manufacture one. We are drama queens who have locked ourselves away inside self imposed situations of crisis. Our instinctual response to life is a very deeply ingrained reflex that has been a primary part of our mindset for millions of years. Like I was saying earlier, just because it was once a key to our survival doesn’t mean that it still serves that same importance today. Is a wild boar charging you right now? Is the snow beginning to pound down on your family and you and your mud hutch is only half built?
What real and immediate danger are you faced with in this moment? Is there a man attacking you with a knife? The answer is no because at this very moment you are reading a book so chill out! If a man were attacking you he would be following the direction of his fear driven egos projections. Think about it, when have you ever seen babies attacking each other? This is not a behavior that we are born with but rather one that we absorb from the insane world we have no choice in becoming a participant in. This is not to say that we will never be faced with a life-threatening situation but until it happens we cannot afford to continue living our life anticipating the moment that is does. People are faced with life threatening situations on a daily basis. Children get trapped underneath moving cars and in those types of moments our instincts for survival will always be our most trusted alley. Our fear-driven instincts have manifested strong egos within the minds of us all. These fear driven egos were created as a last ditch effort for the instinctual part of our brain to maintain control.
Now that we have built our modern world our focus will begin to turn inward. This world is nothing more that a projection of the collective minds that manifested it. This existence as we perceive it would not be this way without our egos having played a primary role in influencing its construction.
The coming years could be filled with great confusion. Like I said earlier we are hitting the most crucial part of this phase of evolution. It is literally going feel that there is a battle being waged inside of us. Awakening requires us to experience a moment of clarity where we can actually see our existence for what it really is. In this moment we will each be able to view our individual inner truth with an objectivity that has been lacking at any other time in our life. These moments of clarity will begin to occur with increasing regularity, which should be viewed as an opportunity to begin to live our life in a manner that may seem foreign while identification with the ego is still occurring. We will all be afforded the opportunity to become guided by a set of spiritual principles that are connected to universal truth.
Ironically we are all born connected to the truth but have lost touch with it along our path to ego fulfillment.
That battle that feels like it is happening inside of us is between our warped instincts and manifesting higher consciousness. The key to surviving this transition is to become accepting of it and not to react to it with more fear driven projection. We will be experiencing a shift in our consciousness which will be caused by the universe at large. We have to allow the flow of evolution to transmit through ourselves and not block it with fear and ego. Keep in mind that the spiritual energy of love has to be able to guide us to this new plane of existence. The change will occur and there is nothing that we can do to impede it. We can however impede our own transformation from occurring in harmony with the universe at large. In the end this blockage would only affect us in the physical realm but would essentially do nothing to our spirits. The more fear driven our ego is the more of a regenerative effect this event will induce. What ever is blocking us from experiencing love will be dissolved one way or the other.
The titanic comes to mind when I try to come up with a good analogy that you would understand. Let’s just say that the ship is the collective consciousness of humanity as it is right now. It is burdened with a cumbersome load of baggage that is causing it to sink into a sea of its own fear driven ego. This burden would be lifted if we could dissolve the ego that is creating it and thus allow the ship to continue to sail its course. Even if the ship remains commandeered by our fear driven ego it will sink and the passengers would be lost but the course of evolution would continue on as it always has. The question you should ask yourself is whether or not you want to ride this tide of evolution or sink in a fear saturated sea of our own manifestation? Even in this scenario we need to be able to surrender to the transformation that is occurring inside of us. Regardless of what our mind says we should realize that the universe determines the changes that are driving our transformation.
We are literally alive during a period of unbelievable opportunity. We are the cast of characters that have been born into the world to usher in an entirely new stage of human existence. We are also the cast of characters that could spell out a fate of a much different sort if we do not change our ways. This could either be a time of transformation or regeneration for humanity.
We could all be living out the final days of what will one day be reflected on as the dark age of modern civilization or we could be the members of humanity that are responsible for pounding the final nail into our own collective coffin.
The physical realm of our reality is totally dependent upon our ability to elevate our consciousness to a higher plane. We need to surrender to the transformation that is going on inside of us. Attempting to combat the confusion will only lead to greater turmoil. We must have faith in the process and allow it to unfold. Believe me when I say that too many of us have our identities warped around our fear driven instincts as well as all of the liabilities of character that come along with live lived in this manner. Our perceived instinctual drive to survive has manifested fears into areas of our life that were not even there before. In other words we are experiencing quality problems today. All of these problems exist because we create them or lack the ability to see the truth beneath the manipulation of our fear driven egos.
The purpose of this book is to share my first hand experience with fear and ego and show you how it brought me to my knees. You will get to know me on the most intimate of levels so that you can best relate to me. I am not suggesting anything in this book that I have not done myself. I do not believe that extreme measures are needed to remedy our current social struggles. All I am suggesting is that we achieve a collective balance between the physical and spiritual realm before the balance is forced upon us by our planet and our collective mindset that is rapidly approaching its breaking point. I know that my very life is dependent on me undergoing this process and for some reason I feel absolutely compelled to share this message with you.

Retox @ Prehab Reality Television Show kicks off Grand Opening of Lotus Flower of Silver Lake
Greetings Friends,
I have taken the time to write up a proposal to a television show that I feel very strongly about. I see no limit to this shows potential to entertain us. It will connect everyone to the part of themselves they hide or hate. It will bring much humor to a part of ourselves we never found particularly amusing. The shock value will be there especially in the beginning to pull as many viewers in as possible. As the episodes roll on the cast will grow to forget about the cameras and become more honest for us all to benefit form. By the end of the season our goal would be to awaken the world to a new way of thinking, feeling and loving that could not have arrived at a better time for all mankind.
Please read what I included and assist if you are compelled to do so.
Best

Lotus Flower of Silver Lake
Retox @ Prehab Season 1
Creative Collective Alliance
Retox @ Prehab
Is a Reality TV show set in the hillside of Silver Lake where five modern bungalows play host to the human condition in all its curious manifestations.
This VERY real world features an over eater, gambler, alcoholic, sex addict, kleptomaniac, cutter, drug addict and a compulsive spender. We even threw in a couple of co-dependents and enablers for good measure.
They have agreed to live in a summer camp environment and allow our private cameras to expose every crack of their moral foundation as well as aversion to intimacy and also truth. Our guests will allow themselves to experience every human emotion, reaction and fear in front of the world and come to discover themselves along the way…….
Retox @ Prehab will serve as the televised run through of a new forward thinking structured living environment for all addicted people in all different stages their condition called:
Lotus Flower of Silver Lake…..”Discover yourself”
which will have its grand opening reception after Retox @ Prehab completes its first season.
Lotus Flower of Silver Lake is a unique and forward thinking alternative to the more traditional approaches to addiction treatment and living environments. The Lotus flower of Silver Lake embodies positive elements of many successful programs as well as universal truths which are practically applied to a person’s core belief system. This process works deeper to challenge the false which has been accepted as truth and is working subconsciously, usually in a self defeating manor.
Our intense approach carries the depth and weight that people long for. It gives our resident creators much needed structure that they would never give themselves. Our primary aim is to facilitate a permanent shift or correction followed by gradual growth through the application of applied principles and creative action.
