THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE ...

JOHN MCINTOSH

There is no substitute … you have to do the ‘inner work’. There is no jumping over the conditioning that defines and manifests the world of dreams most call reality … all must be dissolved. No magic mushroom, no sweat lodge, no master’s gaze, no isolation in caves, no incessant practice or divine dispensation, no amount of illuminating AHAs or satoris will eliminate the work of dissolving the veils of deception that hide the real YOU.

Conditioning ‘binds’ you to the belief that you are separate from everyone and everything … that you are an ‘individual’, a ‘personal identity’ … someone called ‘me’ – different, better than or less than others … there ARE no others. Conditioning manifests the tiniest particle and the multiverse as your ‘private stage’ … and allows you to play EVERY part imaginable … the greatest hero and the most wicked villain possible – every part you have played.

No matter how seductive your private dreams may be, no matter how glorious, sumptuous, ecstatic and wonderous … they pale in the face of the REAL YOU. You must be totally, utterly and completely satiated with the field of endless dreams to enter and ‘remain in’ the fire of who you are NOT. And then, only then will you have the strength to endure the NO MATTER WHAT choice that cuts away the illusion that hides YOU from YOU … the ONE SELF.

PEACE ???

JOHN MCINTOSH

Sing the Peace songs March the Peace rallies Read the Peace books Watch the Peace movies

Stimulate Inspire Cajole, and Require Peace to Live Free

All lead to one door The entrance to your Heart The demons guard it well But face them you must

The demons called conditioning Attachments Expectations, and Identifications

Filled with Guilt Shame, and Remorse And most of all Unworthiness

All must be dissolved In the fires Of who you are NOT Before Peace becomes your Home

PRAYER AND BLESSING ???

JOHN MCINTOSH

Prayer and blessing usually defers to an ‘outside’ source [God by any name]. This is separation and where there this belief is present the manifestation of ‘contrast’ with its infinite variations, fosters chaos, confusion and conflict … good intentions gone awry. There IS only ONE SELF and YOU are IT. In order to bless and/or pray [so-called ‘effectively’] this Awareness ‘needs’ to be present.

For example: “May this person _ be uplifted [in whatever way] in the name of the ONE SELF – I AM.” This is ‘declaring’ rather than ‘asking’. And: “I bless this situation [whatever it is] in the name of the ONE SELF – I AM.” “Nevertheless, according to thy will” may be added, which ‘filters’ out any personal preferences the false self may have in the matter.

These kinds of small ‘adjustments’ have an enormous influence and do NOT ‘resist’ destiny [What Is]. This is ‘going with the flow’ even though that flow may not be obvious. It also ‘expands’ Awareness of the ONE SELF YOU Are while you are still yawning awake from eons of sleeping.

GOD IS WITHIN ???

JOHN MCINTOSH

“God is within” or “The Kingdom of Heaven is within” is NOT a location. It is a statement of ‘Awareness’. It simply means that Truth is not ‘found’ … IT is ‘revealed’ as an ever-Present reality when the distractions of the dream world-universe are no longer given your undivided ‘attention’.

The body-mind-identity as well as the world-universe is a temporary holographic-projection’ on the screen of Consciousness.

Everything and every circumstance that ‘seems to be’ is within the ONE SELF YOU Really Are … but have forgotten through this ‘attention’

I AM BETTER THAN ... ???

JOHN MCINTOSH

A common saying in these dramatic days of the SHIFT into an Era of Peace and Light is: “we are the ‘chosen-ones’” … meaning special. It emanates from spiritual [mostly well-meaning] groups that see themselves as the saviors of the world ‘out of’ the darkness that has been particularly visible for these last 4 years, dominated as it has been by the collapsing 11,000-year-old [in clock time] era of Patriarchal influence. Ironically, the most overt examples of that era were known by various names such as deep state, illuminati, cabal … AND ‘the elites’ [meaning – ‘special’].

The concept of ‘special-ness’ pervades both the beliefs of these so-called ‘elites’ … AND the ‘chosen ones’ … and special-ness is the belief in separation. The very obstacles these ‘special-chosen-ones’ believe they are here to dismantle IS the same belief system wearing a different mask. This ‘special’ self-proclaimed designation seems to validate this with the eons-old equally delusional belief that God [their version of IT] … is ‘on our side’ and has chosen them to deliver the ‘death blow’ to these nefarious ones who have messed things up.

There ARE no chosen ones. There ARE no ‘others’ that are greater or lesser. There IS only the ONE SELF ‘appearing’ as many within the panorama of this Grand Dream and yet always ONE. The dream itself ‘requires’ contrast to exist and the elimination of either dark or light would instantly dissolve the world-universe-dream [as occurs in deep dreamless sleep].

The full Awareness of this [Freedom] IS what changes the ‘experience’ of the world-dream. ‘No matter how it shows up’ it is always experienced by this one as Love, Beauty, Abundance, Freedom, Joy and Peace.

THOUGHT - THINKER & ILLUSIONS

JOHN MCINTOSH

It is thought that manifests the thinker and NOT the other way around. Thought emanates from conditioning [attachments, expectations and identifications], which in turn emanates from the delusional belief in separation. A vehicle is required [the body-mind-identity] in order for this illusory cycle to continue.

The ‘person’ is NOT conditioned. The person is a fiction manifested ‘out-of’ conditioning. When conditioning is dissolved, so is the false self entity called ‘me’.

The avatar-body may remain in the dream buts its activities are totally orchestrated by the ONE SELF You Really Are.

THE LURE OF PHENOMENA

JOHN MCINTOSH

The false self loves and craves phenomena. These vignettes of great drama make this illusory self most call ‘me’, ‘feel’ alive. The exhilaration temporarily jolts it out of the boredom and drudgery that defines the dream-world’s unending parade of ‘opposites’ … the highs and the lows, the roller coaster of happiness and sorrow that describes ALL that emanates from the delusion of ‘separation’.

Currently, all eyes are on the April 8th/2024 eclipse with all manner of stories from dark to light explaining its importance. Indeed, some of these narratives will ‘seem’ to come true, but like everything that comes and goes it is NOT real … only another illusion on the stage of dreams.

The body-mind-identity however, chooses these phenomenal moments over the REAL since it is always seeking wholeness or completion, which it can never find since this wispy entity itself is NOT real. The deep dive into the REAL is the Silence/Stillness that appeals only to those who have been satiated with temporary things.

SELF WORTH???

JOHN MCINTOSH

UNWORTHINESS is the foundational conditioning that defines the false-self-identity most refer to as ‘me’. It manifests in a multitude of ways, most very subtle such as the casual acceptance of a society built on hierarchies. Birth status, color, creed, education and financial status are just a few of the criteria that make up this ‘me and them’ illusory staircase.

A more overt example is the acceptance of abuse tied inextricably to an attempt to ‘fix’ the abuser. We see this often in family relationships where entitlement and acceptance of abuse on many levels becomes the ‘norm’. This kind of abuse exists in many cultures as an accepted practice with women most often the recipients of the abuse. In less tolerant cultures it is often an addiction with the abused hoping that they can somehow ‘save’ the abuser.

This is a pervasive narrative in the dream world most call reality and even if the abuser and abused are separated, the story-line tends to repeat itself disguised as some other form of abuse to over and over again validate the sense of unworthiness.

Only the recognition that YOU are ‘Worthiness’ IT SELF resolves this widespread conditioning. When one dives within and leaves behind the world of passing solutions they will discover the Truth … that they ‘are’ already that which they seek – the ONE SELF. Any concept of being ‘less-than’ dissolves in this Awakening.

SURRENDER IS 'ALWAYS' - NOW

JOHN MCINTOSH

NOW is all there is … IT ‘is’ the ONE SELF.

The illusion of time is all pervasive and very persuasive – yet still NOT real. To manifest the illusion of the universe, time and space need to ‘seem’ to exist … a ‘from here to there phenomena’ results, which allows the delusion of separation to ‘seem’ real. However when one ‘surrenders – says ‘YES’ to WHAT IS, [which allows the flow of Life to occur unimpeded by the desire for this or that] … that ‘surrender’ [if genuine and total without exclusions], is ‘always’ in the moment – NOW. When NOW is experienced, whether for a fleeting moment or permanently, ‘emptiness’ [the absence of thought] occurs. This is a moment where Awareness of the Real YOU simply IS.

Surrender ‘frees’ one from conditioning [attachments, expectations and identifications] ‘in the moment’ – NOW. This eliminates suffering [but not pain – a huge difference]. This can be called Peace within the storm of the Grand Dream. The fact that circumstances arise again and again that were associated with the surrender, does not mean this surrender was a so-called failure [a mind oriented concept] … each NOW moment ‘is’ Complete/Whole.

Conditioning [call it karma if you prefer but many connotations of this term can confuse] causes these experiences, however persisting with surrender returns one to this state of Peace again and again and in that ‘focused attention’ EXPANDS the Awareness of the ONE SELF YOU Really Are until there is ‘only’ IT.

ENDURE THE SILENCE

JOHN MCINTOSH

Freedom, the Truth of Who You Really Are, is not found through the mind and its endless wanderings, its cacophony of noises, its concepts, its historical quotes, its certainties that are every-changing. Its restlessness is never ending, its angst ever brooding, its fleeting sorrows and vignettes of happiness slowly grinding away at any hope it has of finding, finding, finding that something that will give it rest … some semblance of peace – “whatever ‘that’ is” it wonders.

Freedom lies in ‘and’ around Silence. IT is everywhere and nowhere – yet Present. IT is not even found but revealed as ever-Present, seemingly hidden but never lost and always available NOW. It is the mind that hides Freedom from itself with its insistence that IT must be far away and impossibly difficult to attain. But Silence exposes this lie allowing no distraction to disturb ITs simple Stillness.

Silence is daunting to the mind that must always have company, unable to endure being alone, unable to dive beneath the frothy waves of limitation, littleness and the superficial comings and goings of ephemeral living. Silence is content to be alone, IT embraces it allowing emptiness to simply BE. Eternity lies in emptiness, Peace bathes in the Light of nothing-ness and all potential lies sleeping there, waiting for the theater of dreams to dance the dance of fleeting things and play again the infinite parts of All That Is.

YOU DON'T KNOW ...

JOHN MCINTOSH

A person misses their bus and arrives late to work to find their office building destroyed by fire. Another person rushes to the grocery store to take advantage of a sale and finds the item sold out. Days later they hear of a massive food poisoning outbreak from that same product. Still another person is involved in a car accident on the way to their wedding. Their fiancé perishes and they lie in a coma for a few years. After awakening and while recovering they become involved with a caregiver who later becomes their spouse.

No matter what intentions, no matter how meticulous they may be pursued, everything is ‘predestined’ [based on the conditioning you came into the dream-world with]. And ALL experiences in one’s destiny are somehow oriented to the return HOME to the full Awareness of Who YOU Really Are. This Freedom is not reached through the mind, which in itself, is a fabrication ‘of’ that conditioning. IT is not ‘reached’ at all since IT has not gone anywhere … IT is ever-Present.

The mind or false self ‘is’ the veil that seems to cloak HOME from Awareness and it is the demise of this ‘personal identity’ that removes that veil. All of Life is an orchestration of that removal.

THE SUMMIT

When one climbs the mountain to Freedom, near the top it is common to be seduced by all manner of phenomena and special abilities that often show up … know that this is a TRAP.

The summit is reached naked, having abandoned all sense of doer-ship or personal identity. Freedom is Emptiness, with infinite potential.

THE TREE OF LIFE

JOHN MCINTOSH

Imagine a hand with infinite fingers representing the ONE SELF YOU Really Are. When the ONE SELF/YOU focuses attention into a finger a concept called separation seems to arise … YOU and another YOU, yet still Aware of ITs ONE-ness. Then the finger/ YOU extends IT SELF like a tree into infinite temporary branches. These branches are called universes, galaxies, solar systems and every conceivable concept occupies these branches. At this point IT is ‘still’ Aware that all of these manifestations are IT – ONE.

Gradually, IT begins to ‘identify’ with these creations and the YOU that Really IS seems to become actual ‘individual’ entities – separated, limited entities. In this way IT/YOU forget Who YOU Really Are. Nevertheless, the ONE SELF remains ‘beneath’ this delusion. In this way the ONE SELF manifests infinite branches of a Tree of Life, each unique, each with its own limitless illusory creations. For a season IT/YOU ‘play’ in this boundless dream wondering where it all came from. A concept called god [by any name] arises as the creator and YOU as a sleeper worship this unseen invention.

Over eons of clock time this separated delusion or dream continues until finally, confused, exhausted and frustrated YOU ‘surrender’ your searching and ‘turn within’ … retracing your steps through a miasma of conditioning [dreams] and remember ‘WHO’ YOU Really Are. This is NOT a ‘becoming’ … it is a dis-identification with your creations – a return to Nothing-ness or Emptiness – The ONE SELF.

ITS NOT A MISTAKE

JOHN MCINTOSH

YOU … the Real YOU, is Empty – Nothing-ness with infinite potential.

In order for this ONE Reality [ONE SELF] to ‘know’ this infinite potential there must be a ‘phenomena’ that ‘represents’ IT. This representation ‘plays out’ in a ‘from here to there’ interaction requiring the illusion of ‘time and space’ to create what ‘looks like’ separate parts … the ONE ‘appearing’ as many.

Separation also manifests as a myriad of ‘opposites’ and like a swinging pendulum, there are extremes from dramatic to mild. This in turn generates chaos, conflict and confusion borne out of these ‘contrasts’. An endless roller coaster of happiness and sorrow occurs as a result. All of these apparently separated parts ARE the ONE SELF and in ‘full Awareness’ are experienced as a play of shadows and tones – NOT taken seriously any more than the unfolding stories in fictional books or movies. However, when the ONE SELF immerses IT SELF fully into this Grand Dream and forgets Who IT Really Is, that dream is taken VERY seriously.

This is the current state of most of humanity. As the pain and suffering that arises out of this pantomime reaches a crescendo, the deep frustration it causes leads the hapless dreamer to their knees in Surrender and from their ‘focused attention’ returns inward toward Source with the inevitable full remembrance of Who IT Really Is.

This is NOT a mistake.

WE ARE ABOUT TO WITNESS ...

JOHN MCINTOSH

We are about to witness … in a totally visible and overt manner, the Great SHIFT that has been steadily unfolding behind the scenes since 1987/2012. The dysfunctional Patriarchy [some refer to as the deep State] has been taken down and the collapse has been seen in massive shock waves throughout the world – most obvious to those who have taken a deeper dive within but highly misinterpreted by the mass of humanity as ‘just the way it is”.

Remembering always that this is a Grand Dream and this SHIFT is a repeating and natural transition out of one phase [a patriarchal 11,000 year phase (in clock time)] and into a 2,000 year era of relative neutrality or Peace and Light - a Happy Dream, nevertheless … still a dream.

Humanity will very soon learn of the horrendous activities that have dominated the planet most aggressively since about 1913 with the creation of the FED and its agenda to enslave humanity to debt, followed by the suppression of natural medicine and the creation of Big Pharma. Within a few decades every aspect of daily life would be controlled by these ‘elites’ including health, politics, education, entertainment, business-finance-banking, science, religion, social services, technology, as well as every tiny corner of one’s life experience.

Their ultimate goal was a One World Order with only 500 million remaining alive and under the thumb of a tiny group of the most nefarious puppeteers ever seen. In recent months the fake-pandemic together with the highly toxic vax designed to eliminate over 7 billion people, has been exposed for anyone who has taken even a slightly open-minded approach to world events. The shift away from fiat currency [money with no real value] has been [and continues to be] swallowed up by country after country that is replacing it with gold or asset backed currency. This has led to a global collapse of the Deep State banking industry and a multitude of corporations controlled by these same dark-lords.

Very soon the world will experience a New Renaissance through Nesara/Gesara, which will level the playing field by providing the basics of food, shelter, clothing, healthcare and financial stability for ALL. A cornucopia of [until now] suppressed patents will make living conditions seem like science fiction. Choices will begin to center around what brings Joy to the Heart and wars will become impossible as a united world focuses its attention on altruistic endeavors.

Still, the inner work will be required for True Peace to be experienced and the ‘conditioning’ that has sculpted one’s behaviour will need to be dissolved. However, the new environment that is swiftly unfolding will make this last challenge far easier than it has been for millenniums.

Since all change is resisted by the false self who prefers the status quo to anything that disrupts its false control of What Is, ALL are invited to open their hearts and minds to what is NOW taking place so that this enormous transition into a Joy-filled world will be facilitated more easily.

GOD DOESN'T TAKE SIDES

JOHN MCINTOSH

The concept of separation exists only in the Grand Dream, which manifests ‘as a direct result’ of this belief. God or Consciousness is ONE SELF … indivisible and all ideas and beliefs about ‘opposites’, such as good and evil, are ‘unknown’ to ONE-ness Awareness. The SELF observes the dream and as a result witnesses the illusion of separation and opposites with all the conflict, chaos and confusion they engender, but IT ‘knows’ these as illusions … NOT Real. IT [the Real You] ‘feels’ compassion for the slumbering ‘deluded’ aspects of IT SELF but gives these illusions no ‘Life’ through what the false self [mind] calls emotions such as judgment, which ‘expands’ the very conditions it condemns.

At the very least this is outrageous to the false-self-body-mind-identity. Nevertheless, Freedom does not arise ‘through conflict’ but through the total desolation ‘of’ the illusion and this occurs through the removal of the blocks [conditioning] to the Love You Are.
