Is the Rapture Actually Happening?
Category: Life
Right now? Quick, before we go any further, take a look out your window. Now, is the rapture really occurring? Many, many people are under the impression that it is. From Baptists, to Catholics, to Jehova's Witness, to Rastas, to Hippies, to, well, I could go on... but this is the really not the point. Even science is starting to conclude the fate of this world is on shaky ground. There's that whole carbon problem in the atmosphere, you know, that there's too much of it due to humanities choices... and again, this is really not the point. So what is the point? I don't know, you tell me? Why are you reading this? What compelled you to click the link, that lead you here, to this very moment? Consider it. What was the motivating inspiration that compelled your finger to press the button on your mouse? Inside that motivating inspiration is the point, the point of this whole Rapture thing. Now, let me ask you this, what is compelling you to continue reading? Whatever it is, that which is compelling you, occurs in your physical experience as a feeling to some degree. What the Rapture actually is, and what is actually happening lives deep within that feeling, beyond all physical appearances. There is only one way into that feeling, and it involves journeying within. How that journey occurs as your experience in this reality are the steps that you must walk through time to the doorway of eternity, and through it to the seat of OneLuv, the ever-giving source of it all, whatever that may be. So I guess Yeah, the rapture actually is happening. Why? Well, when a journey to the ever-depths of the source of Life within actually occurs in an individual's experience, that journey is the rapture. And the key to this whole thing is, is that, a journey through time completes in rapture: "a euphoric transcendent state in which somebody is overwhelmed by happiness or delight and unaware of anything else," or, "a mystical experience in which somebody believes he or she is transported into the spiritual realm..." (Encarta Dictionary) This time of rapture is when an individual truly enters into mystic consciousness, through the seat of the soul, inwards, to the source of it all. That experience could be characterized with experiences of overwhelming happiness, and insight so transcendent, that it truly is a spiritual realm. The realm that an individual enters into through this journey is OneLuv; a unified ever-giving movement. That realm is the moment of Now, the Now that exists as the moment in which you are reading these exact words. Rapture occurs here in the Now. --

Living WITHIN Vision
Category: Life
Become the visionary you inherently are
Assumption: The Vision is seen. Considerations: What do you see as the necessities within this vision? What do you see as the luxuries within this vision? (Note: "necessities" indicates the certain aspects in the vision that are required for the vision to manifest. It is imperative to distinguish what is necessary within the vision and what is a luxury. Also note that luxuries and necessities are fluid in that what is necessary at this moment may not be so at a future moment; so to with luxuries, what is a luxury may become a necessity at a future moment.) Implementation: Concern yourself only with the necessities for the time being. Considering those necessities, is there one that you can distinguish as a "current moment possibility" in that you can actualize the possibility as a reality in this moment? Remember that a journey starts with a single step, is continued by single steps, and finishes with a single step. The only way to manifest any vision is to walk those steps, i.e. the details. The steps you must consider in order to manifest your vision are the details. When the details are in place, the "larger" vision naturally falls in place, "keep your feet on the ground and you head in the clouds". Move in the direction of the vision and focus on the step you are currently taking, and you are living within the Vision. When you see a step that can be taken to actualize the possible necessity into a reality, why wait? Act Now, its the only moment you can act. Key Distinctions Thinking the "large" vision will fall in place simply by wishful thinking is a trap. Wishful thinking calls forth the vision, you must still receive what the vision brings by walking the steps, and in that process you actualize the Vision as a reality in the Now. The Vision you see is a snap shot of what it will actually be when what you see becomes reality. Just the same, the vision is not pre-disclosed at some future moment. The vision manifests in the Now, and what the vision actually becomes takes place in the that same moment. To see the wide-scope vision of what is possible, you must walk the steps the vision places before you, otherwise the vision will never manifest. It can't, it does not have active participation by the creative component – You. Acting according to the principles that govern the manifestation of the vision is all that is required. Anything outside that is not worth concern or conscious effort. To act according to those principles is what is known as integrity. It is not necessary to judge your actions by any standard because the standard you use to make determination on whether or not your actions are creating the vision is a limited standard. The only standard that matters is whether or not you are walking the steps. Also take into consideration the fact that you can never know the totality of what is required to manifest the vision. Just as you cannot see past a curve in the roads you may travel. Only after you are on that curve can you see what is beyond it. This also applies to walking the steps of your vision. Just as you travel, mile by mile down the road, you travel action by action down your vision. See where you are going, NOW walk. --

The myth of ownership
Category: Life
What do you own? (Think of a few things you claim ownership on, it doesn't matter what they are, just something.) Now, with those things in mind, what does ownership mean? The dictionary says its the "right of possession: the legal right of possessing something." Okay, fair enough. If that's the case, what does possession mean? Again, the dictionary says its "ownership: the act or state of owning or holding something." Again, fair enough. Now, going back to those things you own. Let's start with something small, let's say you own a t-shirt, most everybody can say at least that. Think of a t-shirt you have, any one will do. This t-shirt, what's it made of? Where did those materials come from? Were they man-made or natural or both? Regardless, those materials, on the molecular level, are all composed of something other than what you are composed of. Thus, the physical molecular entity that the t-shirt is, is not part of the physical molecular entity that is your body. Bearing in mind that nothing of this world can last the impermanent nature of this physical reality, neither the t-shirt nor your physical body, it also follows that the state of said ownership will also someday cease. Let's go even deeper, to the atomic level. On this level of energetic activity, the atoms that compose you and the atoms that compose the t-shirt are simply atoms. When the entity that is the t-shirt and the entity that is you come into relation with one another, an interaction occurs. You interact with the t-shirt and the t-shirt interacts with you. This interaction begets various perceptions of sight, touch, smell, sound and maybe even taste for those of you who like to chew on t-shirts ;) From this basic interaction, and the corresponding perceptions, the mind begins to make judgments about that which is perceived. Judgments such as "my" and "mine". These judgments are mental processes of assigning possessive value distinction. The two words, "my" and "mine" are formative structures only in relation to the past. No thing of the future can be owned, it doesn't exist yet, so how can it be owned? The current moment that is Now, is a moment that, at its basic dynamic thrust, continues to change the relational context of life. Interaction is not stagnant, it is dynamic. The word interaction denotes action; a movement of sorts. In this moment, no thing can be possessed, only interacted with, and the interaction only occurs so long as the entity's existing field is sustained within this dimensional reality. If the entity's field of sustained existence were to cease in this dimensional reality, the inter-action would cease to occur. The claim of "my" and "mine" are based on a limited perceptual context that sees the past and future as experiential realities in relation to the only moment of existing experience – Now. No thing can be owned, only interacted with. When the idea of ownership takes root, the thing that is said to be owned takes possession of the mind through the rooting of that idea in the mind. When this happens, the one who allows the idea of ownership to take root also extends identity into that thing. "My" and "mine" are verbal extensions of one's identity into that thing that is said to be possessed. The phrase "my body" then takes equal value as "my t-shirt." Identity is injected into both, and through that injection of identity, one's identity is then subject to the impermanent attachment to that which identity is injected into. The value distinction that is "importance" may vary from object to object, and with that, the corresponding attachment is strengthened or weakened according to the level of importance. Nonetheless, identity attachment still remains so long as the idea of ownership dominates the mind of the one who claims ownership. Do you want to do a little exercise? If so, be aware of your statements throughout the day, when the words "my" and "mine" are used, take a few minutes to introspect on your interaction with that which you claim to own. No need to assign value on it, just look at the interaction through all your experiences with that object. Take note of the experiences that you are looking at that are in the past. There is no experience in the future, so don't worry about looking there. If you are currently in interaction with the object, consider stepping back from "owning" it for the time being and just Be with that object. Allow it to Be what it is, and allow yourself to Be what you are, nothing more nothing less. Simply interact with it. Surrender the idea of "ownership" for the time being and just Be. --

A Guide to Eternal Life
Category: Life
Have you ever considered the fact that your existence is sustained, moment to moment, by a universal energy FAR beyond your comprehension?
How can you sit here and read these words? Really? What gives you that ability, let alone the opportunity to exist just as you are, right where you are?
Every moment there is an energy force moving into the expression of what is. What is it that is? Well, look around, that's What is, and so much more. So much more that you can't even begin to comprehend, so why try?
Life really isn't about knowing every thing there is to know. Why? Because every thing emanates from that Life source, all knowledge is contained within that essence, for all things arise from that essence.
Stepping in tune with that Life essence is what life is reallyall about, its called harmony. The funny thing is, harmonious living within the natural expression of What is is all there really is to do.
Trying to do something other than what is line with the natural expression of What is creates imbalance, poverty and ultimately leads to the exprience of death.
Living in harmony with that natural expression of Life Source leads to eternal life. How? Well, Life Source continues to express, it has since before the beginning time, "the Alpha and the Omega". So, to live in tune with that Life Source is to live in tune with the eternal nature of What is.
Life is eternal... Live It!

Being a Being of Beingness
Category: Life
Who is it that you are when you think you are something other than who you truly are? Would not the nature of your existing in this moment of Life Be the nature of You? How can you exist outside of something that contains the only moment of existence? Life is, and you are it.

Concerning the World You Have Created
Category: Life
Think not of what you can do for the world, be concerned only with what you can do for Self. Not your self, but Self, the Self that is the originator of the world, the True Nature of your Being. For the Self that creates the world also creates that which is your purpose in the world. Your thoughts only cloud the thoughts emanating from Self. Who do you think knows best, self or Self?
