Many highly publicized news events of late have raised some interesting questions in light of the Teaching. As students of the Picture of Man will know, the human function to allow the Awareness to report accurately to Spirit "what is going on here." Spirit (or "X") then does the appropriate action for the information received. How appropriate the action is related to how accurate the reporting.
The word "allow" above is carefully chosen to stress that there is often resistance to accurate reporting from the reporter's addiction to the Four Dual Basic Urges. The 4DBU's, of course, are all feelings which the reporter wishes to gain or to escape. This addiction to these feelings interferes with accurate reporting of "what's is really going on" (objectively) and creates inaccurate reporting of "what is happening TO ME" (subjectively). Keeping this in mind, let's ask some questions about recent reporting being done.
How accurate can reporting done by groups of hundreds, thousands or even millions be if it is all saying exactly the same thing, if it is about a contrived relationship between the reporters and the incident?
When we are seduced into identifying with someone or something with which we have no authentic relationship (seduced into it because it gives us a certain feeling), we are reporting inaccurately. Humans are 100% subject to suggestion 100% of the time (subject to), and when we identify with what we are NOT, we have been seduced.
If someone is held up as a great achiever and because I admire the qualities this person appears to have I identify with him or her or them, I have not allowed the Awareness to function accurately, I have allowed this identification to interfere, to adulterate the Awareness. The Awareness then reports inaccurately all kinds of invalid feelings. For example, let’s say a person who I've been told is brave and good and doing what I would like to do ("if only" I could) happens to be killed in an accident. I'm identifying with that person (whom I have never met), if I have been told they represent ME somehow, I report feelings as though there were an authentic relationship, when in fact there is no relationship. A wound is produced, but have I really been wounded? Has someone with whom I have a true relationship been torn away, destroying this true relationship and leaving a true emptiness? No, this relationship has been imagined, the wound is imagined, but because I am identifying I have reported a true wound with my reported feelings, and X is doing the appropriate response, giving me extra energy to heal a wound that isn't truly there (it is an illusion). Where does this immobilized (immobilized because there is no true emergency to use it up) go? I am caught up in the Vicious Cycle, adaptation is needed to work out the immobilized energy, and here we go again.
This process, which is in itself continually proves Life's love for us, is adulterated due to the lie of my false reporting.
The exact circumstances aren't important - whether we identify with a hero, or hate someone who said to be an enemy of a group (with which I have conned into thinking it is my privilege to identify), and therefore a threat to "Me," these are contrived relationships, not true valid relationships. When we report feelings as though it were real, we are reporting inaccurately and the appropriate response of Life to balance our "emergency" is not to our advantage. Adaptation must occur.
We have a responsibility to report accurately. It is essential for our survival. I am responsible to my true Self to report only what is true. I can work on this by questioning all the suggestions that I identify with - they are NOT I, not mine. These suggestions abound and I must not identify with then if I choose to lead a harmonious life, if my purpose is to function appropriately for
What I REALLY am
Where I REALLY am
What's REALLY going on
in order to know
What I REALLY can do.
