Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

“Question, Seek, Reflect, Respect.”

To date, I’ve run the gamut of history, modern religion, ancient (2000 year) religion, and a touch into quantum mechanics (oh so barely scratching that surface). 

I now want to turn  your attention to a science that won’t make a bit of sense in thie topic, AT FIRST:    Anestheology.

An anestheologist in Arizona and a Nueroscientist teamed up in the late 90’s and did some studies. 

Without doing a deep dive, this next question will seem frivolous:   IS Consciousness REALITY, not the material world we equate with reality?   If so, what are the implications to that perceived reality that ain’t?  

Let me take this back to the spirit of these pages:   IS Consciousness SOURCE?    I think yes.  Small pockets of conciousness (IE, Us) are still connected to the main Consciousness.    One theorists even made claims that We are actually GOD, playing a small role to entertain ‘himself’ and see how his own thoughts interact with other thoughts within him.    I can’t say that theory is wrong, but I don’t feel it’s right either.  Call that a matter of faith if you will.   I believe we are given a smattering of free-will, but there are all the other points of consciounsness that we have to contend with, not all in line with our thoughts.    And not all of them are healthy: lots of degeneracy in the world that corrodes the collective output of all our conscious existence.

And there ARE groups in that concsious cloud that want CONTROL.    That can be seen in how Religion ALWAYS gets co-opted in the early years after the death of the original teacher.    We went from Yeashuah, a teacher wanting to tear down the organized religions of the time, to one of, or a group of his ‘disciples’ creating another religion out of whole cloth, and then not much later in that timeline, the leaders further trying to ‘Steer the flock’ by censoring what was acceptable cannon to teach and what was heresy; effectively at the point of the sword for that matter.   Even Buddhism has had its schisms and there are now three sects of it, with different ideologies along the original vein.   

In each and every religion, there is a nugget of truth about what really IS, and what some Human decided would give control over others.   My opinion mind you, but I see evidence in every facet I seek in.

Always trust your gut. Question everything, even your own thoughts; which may not even be yours, but something that was programmed into your thinking when you were very young. 

pay attention at the 34:30 mark

When you feel an anxiety about what your explorations find, ask yourself, Is this my thinking, or something programmed in?  Ask yourself, WHY you should feel turmoil over mere concepts,,,,   You may find that the fog gets a little thinner and you can see things clearer.

Good luck Seeker.   There is a lot out there to find, and it all contradicts, reinforces, and obliterates reason, if you aren’t careful.
