Living Beyond Reason What is living beyond reason? The conscious evolution of our beliefs beyond reason. Reason is its own limitation. The evolution of our beliefs beyond reason, is experiencing what the mind is not capable of understanding. Love is why we live. To truly love, requires you to love beyond reason. Life's Big Questions Who am I? You are not an I, you are an it. The Universe is a unified field of energy. You are a localized version of this one unified field, as is everyone and everything else around you. The localized version of the energy field you are experiencing is life energy. Life energy is self referencing, meaning the perspective is that of an "individual" separate field of energy. What is the meaning of life? Life energy has no inherent meaning. Like air or water life energy simply is, and evolves from one form to another without preference.

Why? The world allows life to experience evolution. Without an experiential field, life would have no context. Life could only know itself as the one unified energy field; it could not experience itself as what it is, since there would be nothing else relative to it. Without a relative context of that which life is not, it could not experience what it is - it could notexperience being. This is a relative world. We experience something existing relative to its opposite, light exists onlyrelative to darkness. This is the illusion, darkness has no actual existence, there is only the presence or absence of light. There is only light. Why is a relative world concept, by definition the absolute has no why. What is reality? Reality is relative to your perspective. We project our beliefs onto the relative world experiencing them as real as an unconscious habit; habits by their nature are unconscious. Our "individual" perspectives are just one perspective in an infinite potential of perspectives. The world is not an illusion, our perspective of the world is an illusion. What is observed is an artifact of an arbitrary point of perception.

Nothing exists without consciousness. In quantum physics, the physical world is believed to be the consequence of the collapse of the wave function from the potential (wave principle) to the physical as particles (the Heisenberg uncertainty principle) where consciousness is the catalyst. "What I am going to tell you about is what we teach are physics students in the third or fourth year of graduate school - and you think I'm going to explain it to you so you can understand it? No, you're not going to be able to understand it. Why, then, am I going to bother with all this? Why are you going to sit here all this time, when you won't be able to understand what I am going to say? It is my task to convince you not to turn away because you don't understand it. You see, my physics student don't understand it either. That is because I don't understand it. Nobody does." Richard Feynman, Physicist (joint recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics) lecturing on quantum physics. What is truth? In the relative world, something is true only relative to a perspective, under certain circumstances, within a given context, based on beliefs that reflect a degree of consciousness. A perspective is what we choose to believe. It is not that what you believe is not true, it is that there are always things more true than what you currently believe. Relative degrees of truth reflect beliefs, which reflect relative degrees of consciousness. Relative truth continues to evolve towards absolute truth as our beliefs about life evolve. Absolute truth, like the concept of infinity, cannot be knownbecause of the fundamental limitations of the human mind

but it can be experienced as enlightenment. What is enlightenment? Enlightenment is the complete disillusionment (dis-illusion) of the self referencing perspective of an individual ("self" consciousness) and the experience of oneness with the one unified field of energy. It is not the meaning of life but the purpose of life, the value of existence, that it is important to understand. Living Beyond Reason What is the purpose of life? The purpose of life is to evolve. How do we evolve? We evolve when our beliefs about life evolve. What is a belief? A belief is what we choose to know. It is the first thought, the sponsoring thought behind all other thoughts. Example: The evolution of a belief about love. The opposite of love is hate. The opposite of love is fear. [email protected]
The opposite of love is ignorance. There is no opposite to love. This is an illusion we experience in the relative world: hate, fear, ignorance have no actual existence - there is only the presence or absence of love. There is only love. How do we evolve a belief? Knowing evolves through experiencing. Human consciousness evolves through learning, which is primarily experiential. What we choose to knowwe will experience, and what we experience we will become. Example: The evolution of the experience of a belief about love. The opposite of love is hate. - You experience love as an emotion. The opposite of love is fear. - You experience love as a choice, not just a reactive emotion. You are for love and against nothing. The opposite of love is ignorance. - You experience love as a belief. Love is now unconditional. Love is all you believe in. There is no opposite to love. - Love is absolute. Love is free, infinite, and always. What is love?
[email protected]
Love is the essence of consciousness. Love is not an emotion, it is a state of awareness, a perspectiveon the world. Love is what love does, it is unconditional; it is our experience of love that is conditional. Your relative degree of consciousness reflects your capacity for the awareness of love. Example: The evolution of a loving consciousness. The opposite of love is hate. - You do not experience conscious choice, you react with emotion. The opposite of love is fear. - You experience conscious choice, and then you choose to act consciously or react with emotion. The opposite of love is ignorance. - You experience conscious choice, and then you choose to act consciously. There is no opposite to love. - Love is simply who you are being, there is no choice to experience. This is an illusion we experience in the relative world: there is no opposite to love; there is only the presence or absence of a loving consciousness in different degrees. There is only love. "There is no love but God's." [email protected]
- Lesson 127, A Course In Miracles, Workbook for Students. What is consciousness? Consciousness is the energy of the one unified field that we experience as love. Thoughts are not personal, you don't think, thoughts happen to you relative to your level of consciousness. Science describes what is happening, it does not explain what is happening. The power of the energy field of consciousness exists in everyone one and everything in the Universe indifferent degrees. All energy can be detected. Consciousness research has discovered a means of determining the relative degree of consciousness of anyone or anything compared to an absolute scale (See Hawkins, 2002).[1] Why do "bad things" happen? Bad things do not happen. The perfection of all of life is difficult to see. "Bad things" happening allow the opportunity for the undoing of negative karma. Karma is the accumulated result of all the choices we have made over all our lifetimes, and is reflected by our relative degree of consciousness in this lifetime. The purpose of life is to evolve. Evolution is both the accumulation of positive karma through the process of relative [email protected]
free choice, as well as the opportunity of experiencing the undoing of negative karma. Any suffering you are experiencing in this lifetime you were likely the source of in another lifetime. Nothing exists without consciousness, there is nothing outside you that was not already inside you. "To every action there is an equal an opposite reaction." Sir Isaac Newton's third law. The relative world is "spiritually" perfect. Each moment of our life is complete, and the circumstances of each moment are also perfect for the next step in the evolution of our consciousness. The Universe is one unified field of energy, it is not possible for it to make a mistake. The purpose of the relative world is not peace, light exists only relative to darkness. The purpose of your life is not personal happiness based on individual, limited, projected beliefs - the purpose of life is to evolve. The new age movement is about improving the dream, spirituality is about waking up. "I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword (of truth)" - Jesus as quoted by Matthew 10:34 Why is forgiveness important? To forgive is to earn the right to be forgiven. Forgiveness is not about changing this moment, it is about changing your beliefs about this moment. "Those who are ignorant of the bad do not desire it, they desire what they believe to be the good, whereas it really is bad. In other [email protected]
words, they do not know what is bad and yet desire it, believing the bad to be good; so they really desire the good." - Socrates as quoted by Plato. Do we have to experience suffering? No. You do not experience suffering, you experience resistance to what is happening. You cannot choose karma but you can choose not to resist. The problem is in consciousness, you onlyexperience what you resist. What is, is what we choose to be consciousness. The ego is experiencing being a upset, being depressed, or being confused. The ego is not bad, it is a biological necessity that has allowed us to survive and evolve this far as a species; higher consciousness however requires evolving beyond the belief of an "individual" separate ego. Choosing a more evolved belief resolves the problem by recontextualizing it. Let go of the belief you are a separate I, this belief is the catalyst for fear. Surrender all resistance with every feeling, thought, word, and action until the energy of fear runs itself out. Fear is then replaced by peace, peace allows life energy to flow through you. Life energy is power and requires nothing outside itself, resistance is force which triggers counterforce which requires further resistance. The question now is what are you going to choose to collapse the wave function: feelings, thoughts, consciousness, or an unconditionally loving consciousness? Example: Someone does something "bad" to you, and now there is a "problem". [email protected]
The opposite of love is hate. - You take them to court for revenge. I am my emotions. The opposite of love is fear. - You take them to court for justice. I am my beliefs. The opposite of love is ignorance. - You take them to court for because it is the reasonable thing to do. I am conscious. There is no opposite to love. - You take them to court because you take them to court. I. You have an unconditionally loving consciousness with no opinion on outside matters. Your life is now about who you are being, not what you are doing. "Until you give up your (personal) will you have no will at all." - Rumi, Sufi Poet What about happiness? The external goal of happiness is replaced by the internal goal of peace. As the perspective of reason evolves into a perspective of unconditional love, peace evolves into a state of joy. Ultimaltey, over great periods of evolution, enlightenment replaces joy with a state of bliss that cannot be imagined. Do we have free choice? We have relative free choice.
[email protected]
You are free to choose between options but you do not choose the options, the options are a reflection of your karma. What we are experiencing in this moment is a reflection of all the choices we have made over multiple lifetimes. Relative free choice is how we evolve. The power of the oneness of all that exists includes variation as free will, but all paths ultimately lead back to the oneness. The world is becoming that what we hold in mind. We evolve the world by what we hold in mind. We choose, we do not create. Evolution is the process of creation through emergence. The Universe asone unified field of energy is non-causal, there is source for everyone and everything else around you - but there is no cause and effect. Source is continuous. "Synchronicity is no more baffling or mysterious than the discontinuities of (quantum) physics. It is only the ingrained belief in the sovereign power of causality that creates intellectual difficulties and makes it appear unthinkable that causeless events exist or could ever exist." - Carl Jung What is the purpose of prayer? The purpose of prayer is to pray. Prayer is an act of devotion, devotion is an awareness of the source of the one unified field of energy - God. It is through willingness and surrender that we create a space for the miraculous. Remove the obstacles to love and love takes over. Love as an high energy has the power to transform the event. [email protected]
What is God? God is Allness. God is not the anthropomorphic ideas we have made-up, and does not have the human qualities or parental values we project. Does praying make a difference? Yes. With prayer intention now becomes spiritual intention, it is now your will and the awareness of God as the continuous source of ongoing creation that allows the conditions for the potential to evolve into the actual. Intention is the rudder. The power of intention is that it sets the long term course, which determines your destination. What you are doing does not mean anything, the intention behind what you are doing means everything. The physical world is now a consequence of the collapse of the wave function from the potential (wave principle) to the physical as particles (the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle) where consciousness asspiritual intention is the catalyst. It is not possible for the Universe to say no, we can only say no to the Universe. Like the ocean the one unified field of energy just is, it has no will, it does not do anything or decide anything. It is your will, the power of which is a reflection of your relative degree of consciousness, that is the catalyst that allows the conditions for the potential to evolve into the actual. How does knowing evolve into being? [email protected]
Knowing evolves into being by becoming an experiential reality. Knowing makes no difference. To truly know, verse simply "knowing about", what it is to be unconditionally loving requires the experience of "being" unconditionally loving. To truly know requires experiencing, which evolves into being, at which point one does not just know - one is. With faith in a more evolved belief like unconditional love you make a declaration, the declaration becomes your moment by moment intention, you are now no longer unconciously working backwards from the world of effect. When you choose a more evolved belief, like love is unconditional, this intention will allow for the challenging conditions required to experience this choice over and over again until unconditional love evolves into who you are being. Faith requires strength, courage, integrity, and grace. An intention becomes experientially operational through the discipline of integrity, you choose to be in integrity with your intention moment by moment. To live with faith in your beliefs is to live with integrity, to live with integrity is to live with dignity. Grace is the capacity to accept what is, to surrender to God's will. You do your best and the rest is karma, assume whatever is happening next is in the highest good - it would not be brave if you were not afraid. What is constant prayer?
[email protected]
Constant prayer is consciously choosing a more evolved first thought moment by moment. Choosing a more evolved intention influences the energy field and ultimately the reality in which you live. As described by the quantum zeno effect in physics, the rapid repetition of a choice increases the probability of that choice becoming a natural response - a natural expression of who you are being. Each moment is as important as any other moment, spirituality only asks one thing of you - this moment. Choose to know. Be conscious of what you choose to believe. Consider choosing the infinite perspective of the one unified field of energy, with a focus on unconditional love as the essence of an evolved consciousness in the relative world. Your life is now about who you are being; every feeling, thought, word, and action is now has the potential to be a prayer. You simply love until love chooses love again. Hawkins, D. R. 2002. Power vs. Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior Carlsbad. CA: Hay House. The usage of the terms context, absolute, artifact, degree of consciousness, karma, and recontextualizing also come from the work of Dr. Hawkins.

Why? The world allows life to experience evolution. Without an experiential field, life would have no context. Life could only know itself as the one unified energy field; it could not experience itself as what it is, since there would be nothing else relative to it. Without a relative context of that which life is not, it could not experience what it is - it could notexperience being. This is a relative world. We experience something existing relative to its opposite, light exists onlyrelative to darkness. This is the illusion, darkness has no actual existence, there is only the presence or absence of light. There is only light. Why is a relative world concept, by definition the absolute has no why. What is reality? Reality is relative to your perspective. We project our beliefs onto the relative world experiencing them as real as an unconscious habit; habits by their nature are unconscious. Our "individual" perspectives are just one perspective in an infinite potential of perspectives. The world is not an illusion, our perspective of the world is an illusion.
