Our Vision

Our vision?

Get your own vision! 

In 1996, Source acted through me to give you the 3 Commandments. 

Took you long enough to find out abut them. 

The past couple of years I’ve outlined possible paths of personal growth and evolution for you (In as a heretical fashion as I could). 

Today, acting through this current embodiment, Source gave you The Symbol. 

Now you want a vision! 

I told you, you each get to make up your own stuff. 

Personally, this current ego-embodiment likes the vision that we are each the creative and enjoyment vehicles for Source, and I use the AQAL Integral Model for understanding the world. 

You get to do whatever you want.  As long as you don’t hurt anyone. 

Review the possible mistakes you might make along the way.

Then, Be Creative!

Have Fun!

What, you need ideas for possible visions?

OK…

Try these: 

Perhaps you subscribe to a subdivision of Integralism.

Perhaps you are unfolding in the branch of couch-potato-ism.   I so do like that one. 

There is the branch of exerciseism.  I like that one too…  

Maybe you are immersed in a long-term unfolding through Zen, or Yoga, or Tai Chi, or any organized religion.  All are welcome. 

Maybe you are saving the human race or other species through environmentalism. 

Maybe you have taken up the unfolding evangelism of helping everyone reach third tier (good luck with that one…).

Maybe you are in the branch of Nirvanaism, or perhaps Non-Dualism, and you have taken up the Bodhisattva vow (look it up). 

Perhaps you are in the entheogenism branch of Integralism, where the host is blotter.

Maybe you are a semi-strict meditationism kind of Integralist. 

 

Choose your path, and realize it may change! 

Don’t be a fundamentalist!  

Now, what I really need to do is be creative and set up an incorporated non-profit (non-prophet?) organization so I can take all your money to finance the growth of this new religion (and retire from my day job). 

I may be hampered by my current unfolding in the branch of couch-potato-ism…

The New Symbol

OK, this came to me in a meditation.

A large metal nail. 

 

That was the first meditation, the nail alone. 

Standing tall. 

Alone. 

What kind of weird sh-t is that? 

Well, a couple of weeks back I was out biking and found this huge nail in the road. 

I pick up tools and all sorts of garbage when biking. 

This nail stuck with me, excuse the pun. 

The next meditation was the nail joining 2 very different pieces of wood. 

Female and Male Energies. 

Yin and Yang! 

Whatever your identified gender. 

http://enlightenedmdphd.blogspot.com/2013/05/what-is-your-preferred-pronoun.html

If you have the nail upright, it points toward the center of the earth. 

That represents the center of our galaxy, the black hole. 

Perhaps where all information is stored.

Projected out as the hologram of our existence...

The metal nail is Source joining the female and male energies.

Make your own.

Oil the nail, or let it rust.  

Oil the wood, or let it crack! 

Paint the wood, or the nail.   

Or, don’t use wood.  

Use more metal, or plastic or rubber.  Whatever speaks to you!  

Be creative. 

All diversity is welcome.

It can point toward the center of local gravity.

Or, wherever you want to point it. 

Add a rocker bottom.

Set it on its side.

Use it to make a clear, or obscure, statement.

Use it to remember what is True!

Integral: A New Religion

Well, I decided to start a new religion.

Actually, you all started it a long while ago. 

I’m just going to propose names and symbols. 

I don’t own this new religion, it has always belonged to everyone. 

This whole blog has been devoted to the outline of this new religion, I just didn’t know it at the time. 

I’ve already outlined the 3 Commandments, perhaps, ad nauseam, I might add... 

Now we give it a name in honor of Ken Wilber’s Integral AQAL Model. 

All Quadrants, All Levels  =  Integral! 

We will be called Integralists, or Thirdtierians. 

The third tier of evolution is transpersonal, where we start to accept everything, just as it is. 

https://integrallife.com/member/david-marshall/blog/modified-wilber-combs-lattice

Integralism. 

I know what you are thinking, not another f—king “ism!”

 

Now someone will try to make rules and regulations and try to make people pay money for all sorts of sh-t. 

Yeah, that may happen. 

You have to make sure it doesn’t.  Or, you can start selling all sorts of sh-t.  

I don’t care. 

That is the whole point here. 

Make it what you want.  You have the power.  Not me.  Not anyone else. 

You might already call yourself Atheist, Agnostic, Secularist, Humanist, or a Secular Humanist. 

And, you can also be part of any organized religion, or disorganized religion…

Cool! 

The core of this religion is we celebrate diversity, we love everything in all its forms. 

Just don’t hurt anyone. 

Our central theme is Love. 

Love morphs into Kindness, Gratitude, Forgiveness. 

Read the 3 commandments!

Next The Symbol…

Male and Female

My wife and I are reading some interesting stuff.

One book is musing about the last several thousand years of the male dominance of society.   Where did we lose the appreciation of feminine energy? 

The other book documents the rise of the appreciation of feminine energy, and the increasing lack of appreciation of male energy. 

Fundamentalism seems to be associated with the suppression of the feminine energy. 

The backlash is the feministic distain of male energy.   Sometimes associated with the “Green Meme.” 

http://en.permaculturescience.org/english-pages/1-peoplecare/models-dc1/spiral-dynamics/toxic-green-meme

My overall conclusion is we can fall into a lack of appreciation of all the myriad aspects of Source manifesting in the world.  

There is a reason that Source precipitates into the “10,000 things.” 

Source wants to appreciate itself. 

Source hides away. 

Then we might make the mistake of believing that there is no Source. 

Sometimes we make the opposite mistake of getting lost in trying to remain in a non-dual state. 

Both can be mistakes. 

Source gives us an opportunity to find “It.”  Find the Oneness.  Truth. 

That is one gift. 

The other gift is to be embodied.  To be one of the 10,000 things. 

The gift of being alive. 

How do you know when you have made an error? 

http://enlightenedmdphd.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-second-commandment-love-everything_24.html

You are unhappy!    

You may try to be always in a non-dual state, not many can stay there. 

And, perhaps, if you have experienced the non-dual state, you might want to come back and be the bodhisattva. 

 

Then you can walk in the world, helping others to see what is true and real. 

Perhaps you may disbelieve there is anything other that what is before your eyes. 

If you are unhappy, you are likely not seeing clearly. 

I don’t mean the temporary unhappiness of disappointment. 

Clouds come.  Clouds go. 

I mean a chronic unhappiness. 

That might be your signal that further work needs to be done. 

Maybe you have suffered greatly, and your combination of genetics and environment resulted in chronic unhappiness. 

Maybe you need long-term psychotherapy, maybe you need chronic medication. 

Perhaps, that is what you need in this lifetime. 

Everything is welcome.  

Celebrate every form of being.  Your own being and others. 

We are getting closer to wider acceptance of all that is with every 1,000 years. 

I take the 1,000-year view… 

Think about the recent acceptance of homosexuality.   

Wow!  Fast changes.  

We are moving toward accepting everyone, just as they are. 

This doesn’t mean we don’t recognize evil. 

Some individuals want to harm others.  They need to be kept safely away. 

We still have a long, long, way to go… 

Everyone must find their own path of growth. 

My personal practice involves:  

Body - trying to be careful of diet, and getting enough exercise. 

Mind - I love to learn.  Multiple hobbies.  Cognitive stimulation with reading.  I’ve done emotional work and psychotherapy. 

Spirit - sitting meditation, entering into non-dual awareness, shamanic journeying, other various powerful methods :-D… 

Repeat after me:

I will awaken…

I must awaken… 

I am already awake… 

When we do our own work, we might appreciate the wider manifestations of Source. 

We need the complete range of All-That-Is, and All-That-Is-Not. 

We need the female and the male.   Yin and Yang.  

Not opposites.  Reflections of each other. 

One cannot exist without the other… 

Each of us carries both within.  

If you are male, you carry the anima, that “perfect” female within you…

If you are female, you carry the animus, that “perfect” male within you… 

If you project that “perfect opposite” on your partner, or all of the members of the opposite gender, you cannot see clearly…

 

Seeing clearly, there is only Source… 

Seeing clearly, there is the beauty of the 10,000 things… 

You are everything, and you are nothing… 

Rejoice.  

Let go of having the world be any certain way. 

Let the world be just as it is… 

And yet do the work to improve the world any way that you can… 

Kindness is the only way to move in this world. 

Remember the 3 Commandments, in strict order: 

http://enlightenedmdphd.blogspot.com/2013/04/enlightenment-part-5-final-secret.html

1 – There is only One Source. 

2 – Love everything. 

3 – Have fun.
