The Green Room--A New Earth Project

Spiritual Bypass: Spiritual jargon used to avoid assimilating offensive/tragic aspects of self/world.

This concept looks fascinating, though I'm not completely clear about it.

JoyAnna, or anyone else, could you explain what this looks like to you and perhaps give examples?  Many thanks.

Bodhi, I posted this one. what i mean by is is utilizing spiritual language and posturing as a way of side-stepping a difficult or challenging issue. i.e. i know some "spiritual teachers" (more than one), who, when confronted with issues that came up in relationship with them, say, "I don't go there; besides, it is all one and it is just an illusion anyway." I swear I have heard it. More recently, so called "advanced" spiritual students and "spiritual teachers," when being informed about the shadowy side of what's going on on this planet, coverups and profiteering from starvation, etc., have said, "That's just your position; and you know that no position is the Truth." And then they proceed to change the subject, or try to!

Spiritual bypass means a kind of arrogance firmly rooted in ignorance and articulated with eloquent spiritual jargon which, in fact, does express a spiritual truth, or would, if the speaker had gone through the anguish of facing the reality they so blythely are stepping around with their hollow words; it is using spiriual language and often, it seems, a sophisticated spiritual ego to avoid doing the inner work, especially shadow-work that facing our world and having real relationship, demands of us.

Is that clear and meaningful to you?

Yes. Thank you John for the clarification. It is fascinating for me to witness the deviant genius of our collective shadow nature as it avoids being brought into light.

Looks to me like our old friend the ego, working overtime to maintain domination over the mind for as long as we choose to remain in fear. I believe this is a programmed survival response to fear-- a veil protecting us from psychic self-annihilation until we attain the calm mental focus and spiritual poise required to step fully into our power as the shapers of our physical reality.

I agree with you. For me, a credible spiritual leader would acknowledge the shadow in question, and speak to the lesson it offers. And, as each are called to work different facets of this Great Turning, he/she might also direct the questioner to seek others who specialize in facing and bringing this particular piece of shadow into the light.

In gratitude, joy, and love,
Bodhi

Joyanna,

You asked that a summary of the Prinicples be provided.  I th'eel (think-feel) that I should be the one to do this as I initially posted them.  Of course they are open to amendments or extentions but the original is the best.  Here is my very brief, though still lengthy summary.

1. Energy=Love

2. Love=The Creator/God

3.Creation = the Manifestation of the Creator/Love =Oneness

4. Oneness=Nothing is outside of I AM.

5. Perfection=Love creating all as it should be.

6. Belief=Distorted or not distorted perception of reality.

7. Intuition/Feeling=the communication that Infinite Intellegence/Love transmits to a being.

8. The Universe = The manifestation of the Creator expressing complete cooperative love and support for each of     It's creatures.

9. Mirror = What we observe is a mirror of what we are co-creating-the reflection of what is our core beliefs and motivations.

10. Non-Jugdment=allowance.  This was already discussed in theUniversal Principles thread.

11. Purpose=Learning how we intergrate with Oneness, expressing Service To Others.

12. Comfort/Discomfort - Our bodies mirror the state of our consciousness.

13. Abundance=The Universe/Creator is abundant and giving, We limit it by our belief in limitation.

14. Giving and Recieveing = Abundance is empowered by the flow of energy..to recieve requires a vacuum provided by giving. 

15. Non-attachment/freedom = Holding onto anything blocks the flow of abundance, including persons, possessions, energy and experiences.

16. Expression of Self - We are co-Creators, the more we express self, the more we appreciate other selves.

17. Means & Ends =They are the same, Like attracts like-gratitude is the energizer bunny.

18 Harmony = What we feel toward others is the reflection of what we feel toward ourself. Resonance of love of self resonates love for others.  (this is not the same as Service To Self. vis. Law of One.)

19. The Universe will Handle the Details - Pure Intentions allow the Universe/Creator to take care of the details.  "Let Go and Let God Handle The Details."

I do hope that this give more grasp to the concepts and principles that I offered on the other forum. It was a quick summary and may not delve into the depth of the original but presents the essentials.

In the Love and Light of our one Infinite Creator,

Berry.

(As I compiled this summary, I realized that it entails ALL that I have learned regarding our relationship with the Creator.  It may not be 100% complete but it covers everything that the average Ascending Pilgrim will need to know.   Berry)

1- My post isn't about Berry's post, and Berry has since summarized his post

2-I am not sure whether it would best fit under A.Structure, D. Philosophical or E. None-of-the-above

because this comment is more in the territory of preliminary discussion regarding the way we focus our efforts here.

Since D.3, multi-dimensionality, and the D.4, the illusion of dual-unity are listed with question marks and I posted them, I guess I should explain myself. Multi-dimensionality refers to the fact that beings, i.e. us folks and all others, experience life in multiple dimensions simultaneously and we are conscious or not of participating in these domains. A typical desingnation is physical (3-d), astral (4-d), causal (5-d), etc. Awareness itself is a-diminsional or omni-dimensional but we tend to stabilize our focus into a particular dimension or plane of existence; then that domain constitues the mind/world in which we live, or our "dream/body". Our conditioned reality is focused as a dualistic, 3-dimensional materialic mind/world-dream/body.

One way to describe what I get when I sense into the emerging paradigm, is that there is a dawining of unity-consciousness which is non-dualistic and, it could be said, represents a collapsing of the astral with its archetypal dualities and a merging, or "assention" into the inherently interconnected awareness of the 5th dimension.

(One of the problems, I have seen, that sometimes turns a spiritual emergence process into a spiritual emergency results from a flooding of extra-3-d information, energies, etc. into a person's consciousness which can be both very confusing and can make remaining grounded in a 3-d reality--job, family, driving down the freeway--difficult or impossible. If this content is archetypal-astral stuff it can become quite a roller coaster between "heavens" and "hells.")

By "the illusion of dual-unity" I am referring to one of our most cherished, and hardest to relinquish fantasies which can obscure reality and delay our awakening to reality, as it is; the illusion of dual-unity is biologially conditioned by intra-uterine life. From the moment we emerge from the womb we seek unity with an other as a means of returning to that state wherein all our needs are taken care of. In its mundane form romantic unity with a mate is projected as the panacea, the solution our unhappiness, the fulfillment of our longing. Most of us on the portal have sought &/or thought we found our "soulmate" which is a spiritualized version of the same deluded fantasy.

What we long for with all our heart and soul is not an "other" who is our perfect complement and our "soulmate;" what we are seeking through our endless scanning of the faces and forms of others cannot be found there for what we seek is our self-realization. By that I mean we seek the realization that we, as a separate entity, do not exist--except as a concept and a belief. We seek to realize, whether we recognize this yet or not, that we are the vast open space of the awareness of the present, now moment--which is both the substance and context of all and everything that can, has and will ever appear within it. In this non-dual realization we are all alone because there is, in reality, no "other," just this unspeakable presence. (One of the names for the Buddha, for the Buddha's realization is translated as "disappeared into presence."

As far as I am concerned, the highest and best that is possible in a relationship with an "other," what can genuinelly be referred to as a "soul-mate," as a true, essential friend, is a person who, by their nature and behavior, spurs and/or inspires us through the initial recognition and on to the full-realization of who and what we truly are.

I hope this clarifies my meaning; I invite others to expand upon these thoughts.

Haaaaahahaha!!!!!!

So beautifully said John!  So complete is your description of reality and the illusion(s) (there really is just one illusion I believe) that all I can say is hoooraayyy and yipeeee kiyaayyy mofo.  If, in another, we find an alleged "soulmate" it is best described as two who help each other constructively grow to realize who "they" really are.  I am very glad to know you John and get to share this very interesting moment in time/transition toward Ascension, toward the 4th/5th dimension.  Who woulda thunk that group (5th Dimension) was actually singing about something more than a romantic notion of a better life for all!!!  Kerry (my girlfriend/soulmate/partner in crime/fellow traveler for the past 19 years) had a boyfriend long ago that disappeared on her.  Not left!  Literally disappeared in front of her!!!!!  She doesn't even like to remember it because it was an event that was very hard for her to get her mind around, being the practical 3D girl she is, but I brought it up to her again the other day to relate to her what I believe he may have been.  He was either a very adept human fellow traveler fully functioning between dimensions or he was an extra terrestrial friendly who was sharing some time with her.  In any case, both scenarios are impressive to say the least.  Reminded me of Carlos Castaneda's writings about his personal experiences that are very similar.  To think/feel/know we live in a realm with so much more freedom and availability than we are willing to be aware of at present leaves us with so much to explore!

How could I ever allow myself to think I was bored ever again!!!!!!!!

Living as if "One" means something, Chris

I don't really have any more info than that concerning Kerry's experience.  Her mind struggles with that episode enough that she doesn't remember it in great detail and hardly ever remembers that she told me until I remind her of it.  For me, it stuck in my mind the first time she told me almost 20 years ago like a 2-part epoxy resin of inspiration for what is not only possible, but for real things going on right now, for all that truly does exist right there just outside the box of our classical understanding.  Her intuitive reluctance to remember reminds me of the classical experiences of people who were abducted by ET's and return with a natural defense mechanism reluctance to remember the experience clearly, if at all.

What I take from that shared experience is how very wonderful is this world/universe around us, especially those aspects we pay so little attention to due to our belief systems that block available experience.  I love knowing we live in a time that is helping many to tear through the veil and "become" and be fulfilled and experience and teach and lead the many more to do the very same until there is a quantum leap that will seem as effortless as the illusion of stuckness seemed difficult and cumbersome right up to that effortless moment.  We do well to keep our eye on the prize my man!!!!!!

We are meant for better things, and this helps me to confidently look forward and just know......

Loving and Living as if "One" mattered, Chris

Hi JoyAnna,

Let me know how the groups thing works for you. It's all experimental and many things will need to be polished and worked out. I've set up some documentation, and I'll refine it as questions come up.

From what I've read about this project, I think you could set up a group, and open a new thread for each of the topics. They will all show up on the group homepage, and won't get lost in the stream of all the other posts on the portal.

There are also the polls, which have their own tab and section on the groups. You can post comments to a poll, so it can work just like a regular post. You can set an expiration date on the poll, and all the "Active" polls will show up automatically under a special section "Active Polls" on the group homepage. After they expire, you can still see them by clicking the "Polls" tab.

There are just some ideas, let me know if you have other specific needs for this project.

Love,
Andrey.

Hi JoyAnna, you have nothing to be sorry for!  You have been working for the highest good, as we all have, trouble is, it can be overwhelming.  Mary made a good suggestion that perhaps as part of the Wesak (20 May) we could share a moment of Earth empowerment at 12:12PM GMT/or, focus in on 12:12 and the TT and then draw light in from heaven to Earth (through yourself) by intoning 'I am the light of the new Earth.'  I think many of you will know this as the Spiral Meditation and I think AA Michael has some directions on this.

I have a dream. I envisage a world of peace where each of us is harmoniously aligned with Divine Consciousness, each other and the natural world. There is perfect unity and harmony amongst the All. The world is beautiful with more intensified colours that were not available in 3D.  People of the new Earth each have a purpose, that is, 'to be' to enjoy the gift of being on such a beautiful planet and to pursue a timeless existence of discovery and interaction with one-another and the natural world.  The concept of duality will have ceased allowing for us to experience the cosmology and intelligence of the entire universe rather then the psychology of emotion.  On the next day of Wesak at 12:12 I will be thinking and focussing in on these things and then again on each new moon.  In fact I can barely stop thinking about it!  As a way of taking some respite and re-energising I invite you all to join me.  I'll be in the water (a sort of violet-green color) surfing the waves at Bell's Beach, say hello.  As one, and cowabunga!  Rob.

Just a question.

I've got a grasp of posting within each division, but how long will each common category go in length before it is placed by itself and how do we easily navigate to that?

Hope I'm not putting the cart before the horse here.

Thank you all for your organization and time,

Tricia

I believe this might have been posted somewhere on the TT or TC, but this uplifting trailer to the movie "Shift" is a must see...can't wait for the movie!
