He said that "seeing" dispelled that habit and until I learned to "see" I could not really understand what he meant. "But if nothing matters, don Juan, why should it matter that I learn to see?" "I told you once that our lot as men is to learn, for good or bad," he said. "I have learned to see and I tell you that nothing really matters; now it is your turn; perhaps some day you will see and you will know then whether things matter or not. For me nothing matters, but perhaps for you everything will. You should know by now that a man of knowledge lives by acting, not by thinking about acting, nor by thinking about what he will think when he has finished acting. A man of knowledge chooses a patlh with heart and follows it; and then he looks and rejoices and laughs; and then he sees and knows. He knows that his life will be over altogether too soon; he knows that he, as well as everybody else, is not going anywhere; he knows, because he sees, that nothing is more important than anything else. In other words, a man of knowledge has no honor, no dignity, no family, no name, no country, but only life to be lived, and under these circumstances his only tie to his fellow men is his controlled folly. Thus a man of knowledge endeavors, and sweats, and puffs, and if one looks at him he is just like any ordinary man, except that the folly of has life is under control. Nothing being more important than anything else, a man of knowledge chooses any act, and acts it out as if it matters to him. His controlled folly makes him say that what he does matters and makes him act as if it did, and yet he knows that it doesn't; so when he fulfills his acts he retreats in peace, and whether his acts were good or bad, or worked or didn't, is in no way part of his concern. "A man of knowledge may choose, on the other hand, to remain totally impassive and never act, and behave as if to be impassive really matters to him; he will be rightfully true at that too, because that would also be his controlled folly."
Carlos Castaneda, Separate Reality

From here on out, this individual is no longer hiding. I have chosen the name of this blog very carefully. When one undertakes a spiritual venture, one learns to choose things in a way that is directed by Spirit. I have much to express - Many visions to paint, ideas to bring forward, and lessons to impart, lessons hard learned by myself. Here, we begin to unravel the mystery behind the reality of our 3D Matrix holographic reality, in a real, tangible, quantifiable way.
As spiritual beings in the flesh, quite literally, it’s our own experience, our own feelings, our hopes, our dreams, our orgasms, our fears or lack there of, our actions, our in-actions, our prejudice, our loves, it’s all of these things that truly shape our reality - our Gnosis, our concepts, our lives. These are Most Important. Secondly is our relationships to Others - as we are looking into a mirror to our Selves when we are looking into another person. We have to accept the fact that science does not understand everything, and that we know NOTHING outside of our own experience - but that very same personal experience is EVERYTHING. The implications of that are astounding. As the size and scope of the universe in relation to what little we do here on Earth or in the Terrestrium, or Quarantine Earth, as I might call it, should help understate the point I am trying to make.
We have to love ourselves, meet ourselves in the mirror so deeply, darkly, and brightly that we actually know, love, and stand within our Self in order to truly innerstand what’s going on under the surface within the human organism. Because we are a vast and timeless ocean in comparison to the narrow focus we humans tend to exist within. By that, I mean, we stick to our Egoic will, our Ego, and that’s what we use for 90% of our lives and never grow beyond that mode of interaction with the world. We THINK about things... When we can just Exist in harmony with the things.
We must look deeper then our egos, ladies and gentlemen, and that is not an easy thing to do. When you think, think between conscious breaths. When you act, act within conscious breath. This is a true method of meditation. We can find Rhythm, Harmony, Love, and Order within Chaos and Freedom through our conscious breath, every moment, while at work or at play or in social interaction, anything at all. It is incredibly freeing and begins to relax the ego, beat it down, enable us to center closer to self, ever moving towards total integration.
Your gifts and talents lie within the undiscovered country within you. It lies in your deepest desires, your fears, your hopes and dreams... All within your reach. It may take a lifetime to find it all, but what else is a lifetime for?
