New Beginnings

It's been a while since I posted but I'm still here.
After the glimpse of my true nature and the subsequent return to separation I realise I had become intensely depressed. I was desperate to get back the feeling of being everything I perceived, to the extent of not caring about anything else.
My ego had kicked in again and proclaimed to all who would listen that I was now Enlightened, although I was behaving anything but that.
Then it was like the World said to me "Ok you think your enlightened, take this."
The woman I had partnered and loved for nearly eight years declared her love for another and left. Well I didn't really know what attachment was until that moment, deep, intense suffering followed which I could easily describe as Hell.
My instant reaction was to blame my search for Enlightenment as the catalyst for her leaving me and renounce all spiritual practice, but as the dust settled I realised I was not being true to myself, I knew deep within that this had to happen and in fact I had made it happen for my own spiritual growth.
To avoid the suffering I entered the moment, it was my refuge, in the moment the past and future vanished and with them the suffering.
To be in the moment is like riding a bicycle, the more you do it the easier and more natural it becomes, fears for the future vanish and are replaced by an excitement Now, life is more real without the abstraction of thought processes covering your actual reality and although it is not the state of seeing all things as yourself I had experienced previously, it didn't have to be because life and me were now inseparable!

Through suffering as humans we experience being, I had witnessed this first hand and a question arose in my mind, is this the evolution of mankind, from a consciousness run by mind to a consciousness detached for the most part from mind. A simple leap which engages the flow of life without fighting it, a tree still grows perfectly without using a mind.
What with the credit crunch, wars, disasters, global warming etc etc, is the world causing human suffering for one reason, to wake us from the dream of mind to real life, that of spirit?
The old way seems to be putting up a fight but the harder we're pushed by suffering the more of us awaken to the one true life, then suffering ends, this is not an instant end to suffering more of a gradual shift as we learn to stay focused Now.

Then I thought about 2012 and the end of the long count in the mayan calendar, I had heared it refered to as the end of time! Sounds frightening at first but when in the moment or Now there is no time only Now. Is this gradual shift taking place, gaining momentum over the next three years to a time where there is no time only Now, the jump of human consciousness, will it be like the 100 monkey syndrome ?

Nothing needs to change just our perspective, our level of consciousness but things will change until that is met I feel.

The best thing is that none of this will even concern you when your focused in the moment so save yourself some suffering and loose some thought processes but if you need suffering that's what you'll probably get.

Bless you all

Path to Enlightenment

If you seek and strive for enlightenment as a spiritual goal then there is a problem, when you give up looking for it, that is when you discover you were always enlightened, your old self will die (the ego) and you will be reborn into the totality you never left.
This may sound like a riddle but when you experience totality,non dualism, enlightenment, connection to source, whatever label you wish to give it you realise at your core that is what you are, everything, you always have been.
The person you thought you were with the identity, the likes, dislikes, history, lovers, money, friends was not really who you are, it was an ego driven blanket over your true nature.
The society we currently live in fuels this ego blanket, we think we are the body, the house we live in, the car we drive, the money and possessions we have, the high powered job we do. We are none of those things, that is just a partial view of what we are, we are every thing in all of creation, we are the consciousness in all things, unlimited by our very nature, connected to all things (hence synchronicity).
Now is the time we are waking ourselves up to consciously realise we are consciousness unbounded, fear and attachment dissolved we rebuild this Earth into a New Earth full of unconditional love for all things, as once enlightened loving everyone else is like loving yourself, a natural and easy option.

Ashtavakra Gita

Ashtavakra Gita is a thoroughgoing text of Vedanta Philosophy. It is presented in the form of a dialogue between Sage Ashtavakra and King Janaka. It is an intuitional treatise expounding the Upanishadic revelation, "Aham Brahma Asmi--I am Brahman or the Absolute Self; this world is nothing but Brahman."

Eckhart Tolle-A New Earth

I had met Eckhart Tolle in London maybe six years ago after reading The power of Now.
I had limited success in understanding what appeared to be basic Zen teachings of stilling the mind and even after meeting the man in person I struggled, gave up for a while then forgot.
I have just finished reading his latest book and it has helped me realise more than any other my true spiritual nature, I believe I experienced some sort of Satori last night which was amazingly refreshing. The ego was crushed temporarily which let me see my true identity, it was a massive wow moment which made me laugh. I cannot rate this book highly enough, it's nothing new, it's the way it is written which is different.
This is the top selling book at Amazon.com at the moment and I would advise everyone to read a copy, I listened to the audio book version read by Tolle which was excellent.
If you want to have a look before you purchase click on the book.

David Icke- The Nature of Reality and how to Control It

David at Mt. Shasta in the Autumn of 2007, David gives us insight into his new direction and how he believes we will be operating as a collective species. Essentially, he says that freedom of information brings us paradise. Suppresion of information brings us captivity. Creating a collective consciousness through truthful information will be the route to creating the new matrix, one that is optimistic, life affirming and joyful.
