Finding Freedom In A Crazy World
The
world isn’t crazy… and freedom is within! But, I have to confess, it sure looks that way! In fact,
when I look through the eyes of illusion I see a world that is totally insane.
Crazy doesn’t get close!
So,
what to do? Do we relate to the illusions of life, and try to get a feeling for
what is happening and try to understand, or do we pull back from illusion and
learn to see ‘what is’ through the eyes of Truth? Just for a moment, let’s look
at the illusions.
Physically,
the people of the world have never been so sick, and this in a time when, on
some levels, there has never been a greater opportunity for really healthy
living. I have no doubt about the reason for this. Over the past few centuries,
we, the people of most countries have been gradually cajoled into releasing
personal responsibility for our health. During the 20th century most people
finally abdicated from any sense of, “this is my body, this is my health, I am
fully responsible for it.”
Somewhere
in all this, the pharmaceutical drug companies grew huge, and healing succumbed
to drugging, while medicine itself was seduced to convert from body-friendly to
body-destructive. And we, the people, just let it happen. We could, of course,
say that we didn’t know what was happening, and this may be true, but we did,
en masse, withdraw our own innate responsibility for our own personal health.
This, along with a poisoned world environment, has sent our overall well-being
into a rapid decline. Now, those of us who are more aware are finally taking
responsibility for our own health, but seriously, we are a tiny minority in
this crazy world.
The
environment is another illusion that commands our attention. It would seem that
we have an ecological collapse on our hands that promises to be of major
proportions. Certainly, with my background in agriculture, I am aware of the
appalling changes that have taken place on the farms. Agri-culture has become
agri-business. True culture of the land has been put aside, while the business
is to rip maximum profit from the land regardless of the organic life within
the soil. As I travel the world each year, I pass through much of the
agriculture countryside. Now, this may sound fanciful to you, but long ago I
learned to listen to the ‘Spirit of the Land,’ and when I pass through areas
where the ‘rape and reap’ abuse is really high, I am aware that the Spirit of the
Land has withdrawn.
This
spiritual energy is now focusing into the wilderness, the more remote
mountains, and particularly the deserts. The places largely devoid of humans.
This does not mean that the land is no longer productive. It is, with its usual
nutritionally depleted crops, but the spiritual component of the food produced
is now missing. Not that anyone can truly measure this, and only a few people
are aware of it, but it is a phenomenon that is now increasingly taking place.
I could write of many more illusions, but let me now show the other side of
what I have already, very briefly, touched upon, basically, human health and
our food production.
The
theme of this article is “finding freedom is a crazy world”. Let me be very
clear about this – you cannot! You cannot find freedom in the illusion. You
cannot find freedom along the path of understanding. You cannot find freedom in
trying to make sense of human craziness. You cannot find freedom while you
relate to a world that appears to be outside of Self. I repeat, you cannot find
freedom in the illusion. We are Beings who live in a greater reality, but we
are also Beings who, for the most part, have no idea of a greater reality. The
alternative to a greater reality is consensus reality, and this, of course, is
where human consciousness is focused. People all believe in the same collective
reality. We believe things like the past is finished, and cannot be changed.
Wrong. We believe that life is an outside event, something we see around us.
Wrong. We believe that we are born, and after a lifetime, we die. Wrong. We
even believe that war can create peace! Glaringly wrong.
Even
consensus reality varies. We have an Australian consensus reality which is
fairly close to the American consensus reality, in-as-much as we insist on
following their particular errors. The British CR is different from the
European CR, which is now struggling to make their many CR’s into one.
Obviously the Afghanistan CR is very different again, different enough to have
a mini-war over. We also see that most people who migrate from one country to
another take their CR with them, and so find it difficult to fit into a new,
quite different, CR. Okay, enough of consensus reality.
First
and foremost, what is freedom? Are we in Australia free people? I think not.
There is no freedom to be found in the illusion. Not even in the mythical
paradise of Shangri La. While we see life as an outside event, while we believe
that what we see is what is, and while we believe in the beginnings and endings
of people, of species, and of life, we remain in the depths of illusion. And
this, of course, is the breeding ground of fear.
Freedom
is knowing and experiencing Truth. Freedom is knowing that we, each one of us,
is an immortal Being. Freedom is knowing that far beyond the physical
experience, there is a metaphysical reality that is our Truth. Freedom is
definitely possible. I know, because I experience it. We are taught to believe
that we are physical bodies containing consciousness. This is a half-truth. We
are Beings of consciousness that contain – and express through – a physical
body. Let us call that human consciousness Light. Not light from the sun; more
the illumination of eternity Light, the expression of consciousness Light.
We,
as Beings of Light, contain the body, each cell, every molecule. We are not,
and never have been, imprisoned and contained in and by the body, yet this is
the way that most people live. The body is their physical prison, and they do
not leave it until the illusion of death breaks the illusion of containment. If
you are following this so far, you will begin to realise that our so-called
crazy world has nothing to do with the limitations of our freedom.
In
fact, why not look at it from a completely different perspective. Just suppose
our world was ticking along merrily, with nothing to stir us, nothing to
frighten us, nothing to compel us to look at the world and ourselves in any way
beyond apathy and lethargy. What we would get, and continue to get, is what we
have long been submerged in, namely, more of the ‘same!’ The ‘same,’ repeating
endlessly. And regardless of technology, if you look at history, you will find
that the ‘same’ has been repeating over and over for, literally, ages.
Technology is no more than window dressing. Truth is, we have also been there,
done that. We are Beings of Light, completely lost in the illusions of
physicality. Somewhere along the way, we lost the plot. We forgot that we are
here to learn the universal principles of creation, that we are here to grow
into and discover the Truth of Self.
Instead,
we are kids squabbling and fighting over which piece of the playground belongs
to whom. If it is freedom we want, then we have to leave the illusion. Trying
to make sense of illusion is futile. Trying to make whole something that cannot
be broken is beyond futile, but that is the way of humanity.
Let
me again refer to the Spirit of the Land. There are those among us who are
discovering the true worth of Self. The further we go with this, the more we
find there is to discover. We begin to treat ourselves, and our bodies with
respect. We discover that we are worthy of life, of good health, of caring
living, so we live accordingly. We buy food that is grown under conditions of
organic agriculture. Food grown where the soil and its micro-life is respected
and nurtured. In other words, the soil is treated in the way we now treat
ourselves. We choose this by discernment.
There
are millions of people who think nothing about self, who care nothing about
their body, who discard the whispers from the heart, who have no interest in
spiritual values, who want only to gratify their senses. Is it not fitting that
they should be able to buy food that exactly reflects their lack of conscious
values. These are the people who are attracted by, and eat the food from where
the Spirit of the land has withdrawn.
Be
aware, however, that the same Truth applies to them. They are each Beings of
Light, and when they choose to turn within, they also will reach the place of
making choices that honour them. Nobody can be forced or even coerced to open
up to their inner Truth before they are ready to do so. Unfortunately, the
price for error is the mass sickness in our Western world, the massive degree
of self-victimisation. With depression and suicide on a savage increase, you
would think that more people would ask a few basic questions, like, what is
happening? And I don’t mean ask the government, they are part of the same
equation.
We,
as a people, are literally by-passing our hearts. We live from the head, rather
than the heart. We have yet to realise that all the continual thoughts of
self-criticism create a continual attack on the heart. We have yet to realise
that thought is an energy; an energy that when continually misdirected can
bring about disastrous results. We are nations of people who are unwittingly
taught to self-attack, with the heart as the receptor of the attack. Then we
wonder why there are so many people dying from what we call heart attacks! And
the best we come up with is more drugs. Very soon doctors will be removing the
heart we have attacked, and replacing it with the heart from a pig! Anything,
rather than take personal responsibility for our own heart, our own health.
So,
despite having done no more than skate over the surface of the subject, I hope
you can see that if we live our lives focused into the illusion we have no
chance whatsoever of finding freedom in a crazy world. From my viewpoint, I see
the world in its stunning perfection, and I see humanity as incredibly
beautiful with an inspiring potential. I experience freedom in a world of love
and beauty, and with my wife, Treenie, we travel away for 4-5 months each year
giving our Re*treats in many countries of the world. I teach the Principle of
Truth, showing people how they can change their lives for the better. I show
people how it is better by far to find the Truth of Self, the overwhelming
beauty of life, rather than attempt the impossible task of finding freedom in
an illusion.
It
is ironic that it is the frenzy of our crazy world that is causing so many
people to break away from the apathy of comfort and look at themselves, their
lives, and the direction humanity is once again heading. If you are asleep,
dreaming a beautiful dream of comfort and ease, you are not likely to awaken as
easily as if you are in a nightmare, where the content is so bad, so scary, so
threatening, that you feel a pressure to wake up, fast. That is us, now. Better
by far that we wake up screaming, than stay submerged in the illusions of an
unreal dream.
