Jimmy's Soapbox

This is the place where I will communicate my personal views, thoughts which don't fit anywheres else and information I think will be of general interest to mindtravelers.

You already are everywhere you need to be.... all you need to do is allow yourself to look and see. If this has meaning then your free.

A REMINDER.....

Be it heaven or hell, we create our reality through our experiences, our thoughts, beliefs, imagination, words, and our desire, or will.

One way we can become conscious of how and what we create is through meditation, or going within and contacting the God within ourselves. We always have the choice whether to create our own heaven or hell wherever we are. And that creation comes from within ourselves.

With love.....Jan. 1, 1999

Reproduced below is a portion of a letter I wrote to someone. It has occured to me that some part of it may be of interest to others.

I have come to the conclusion that we are free will beings. In a nutshell that implies that there are no accidents.....period. Did you choose your children or did they choose you? Or was it a cooperative effort!

If spirit, identity and free will are valid then it should be self evident that it is a cooperative effort. This human experience, its beginning and ending, life as we know it and death as we know it are choosen and so are the general conditions. I'm saying this to point out that there is no need for guilt. You might say how could anybody choose to have a disease, but if you think about the birth condition choices from a perspective of spirit, from a perspective of knowing you have eternal validity, its easier to see that the choices are made to provide the best stage for accomplishing a learning experience.

Lets say in one life experience you were a queen or king and one which acted without compassion. Next time you might choose to be a servant to learn what your actions meant to those you ruled. The only real learning is from experience. Experience becomes part of the psyche, the whole self. Each experience changes us and in greater terms affects all of reality. While the general conditions are choosen before birth and root assumptions accepted it is important to remember that these are just the general conditions. The stage is set but the play is not written. There is still freedom to write the script as we go along. That is why so called miracles can happen.

Reality creation is a simple idea but a complex mechanism and let me say right off that I'm by no means an expert on anything, just a person who finds certain things to work for me. Because it involves deepley held beliefs about our reality it is not an instant process of becomming an AWARE creator of our reality. We are all programmed from birth by parents, society etc to believe certain things and of course there are generally held root assumptions which we necessarilly use to interact with others in this reality.

The mechanics of reality creation are taken care of unconsciously as they must be, otherwise we would be unable to focus on the main experience of this life. When you walk across the room for instance, you don't have to think about all the impulses that must be sent in proper order to each muscle to move properly. You just make the thought and express the intent to do so and it happens. It happens so quickly that your not even aware of it. Same with all of reality creation, the mechanics of it are taken care of by a portion of your identity that you don't generally focus on. This portion is quite literal in its interpretation of your desires and beliefs and provides a picture of reality based on your intents and beliefs. If you want to change the picutre of reality that you view, you must first change your beliefs.

To change your beliefs you must know what they are and I don't just mean religious or spiritual beliefs. There are all kinds of ideas that we are constantly bombarded with and often accept without even giving them a second thought. In the area of medicine for instance we are constantly told we need more and more medical care and a huge portion of print and TV ads are for medically related things. We are by default conditioned to believe we must at some point be sick. And as long as this is so a word of caution is in order, better make sure you continue to get your checkups. Ancient writtings speak of people who lived to be very old and they probably did. They never learned that they weren't supposed to. My grandparents ate and did all kinds of things that are currently labeled bad for us but they all lived into their 80's and 90's. Because they were immigrants they didn't watch TV or read many magazines and so simply followed a different personal reality. When my grandfather was diagnosed with a disease and put on disability because they said he would not live but a few years evidently he didn't understand or it didn't fit his belief system, for he lived for another 35 years or so and had a grand time of it. He didn't die until he was 90 something and that was from an "accident" about a year after his wife died. I think he simply just decided that he was finished with that life.

So you ask, can the blood cells be changed? Sure, his did and the accepted wisdom of the time was that his condition was incurable. But as I already said, most need the doctor because that is whats accepted, and to ignore medical help would NOT be in their best interest.

Now on to the question of "Tell me of those being killed by a passing car". Here we find it difficult to understand because we identify so fully with our body. Simply put most think that the body is our total identity. If this is so, then you might as well not worry about anything because in a little "time" you will cease to exist and it won't matter anyways! However, if we are eternal free will beings, then who "made" the body cross that street at that particular moment? Who directed the driver to be there at that "instant"? As i don't believe in accidents I think that synchronicities are really the affects of subconscious communications. We interact with the rest of the world telepathically to bring about the conditions we choose. Simply put, we choose our birth and our death, and both are just changes of conscious focus.

Do we create other beings realities since they are part of ours? Of course not! We interact with others realities. We choose to be part of others realities. We attract those who wish to interact with us, to share in our play for their own reasons which support their play but each chooses. Each is responsible for their OWN actions and their own person reality.

How do I get back to that positive point that I had upon awareness? The answer to this is up to you! It is after all your awareness. Look at how you changed it in the first place. Likeley that certain experiences were interpreted in a way which changed what you deepley believe. Every experience changes us a bit. My son was killed by an "accident" when he was a teenager. That loss, the experience of it caused the most profound change in my beliefs. Not at first, it was a process of questioning, of "pausing" to look at what I considered reality to be. In retrospect it caused me to for the first time observe what I was doing rather than just reacting to events. I began consciously learning from the events.That eventually led me to question everything and that questioning led me to conscious reality creation. One thing I am sure of is that each of us has the knowledge, the answers to our dilemas within us. Creativity is endless and in the final analysis there is only action, driven by endless creativity and upheld by Love. The love I refer to is my word for the conscious energy which upholds all that is. That is what makes creation an unending reality which is never diminished, even as identity is never diminished.

Hopefully I've provided something that will help you find your answers. It might help to remember that your personal reality is yours, your childrens are theirs and mine is mine. Thoughts have a kind of reality of their own and yours cause me to look at mine....and this is good. Thank you.

I hope something in this website will bring you to that place which causes you to explore reality in some way. My simple definition of Reality is anything that can be perceived by the mind which leads me to my definition of Mind. Mind is an conscious energy Gestalt. A gestalt is a complex system which is greater than the sum of its parts.

Love is the source of all Reality
