Seeing the different sides I have within myself, I would say that we have many personalities for many situations. The key is to be flexible enough to change and thereby never encounter stress, from a situation unplanned for. You will never always be alone, to contemplate life's mysteries and those of your own psyche. Likewise, you will not always have other people around, particularity not those who really understand you. You need to relate to different people all the time- sometimes a boss, sometimes a co-worker, sometimes a friend or a child. So a flexible personality is the key to unlocking the door to our holy grail- a life filled with meaning, yet devoid of stress. Without suffering. If only we could teach our children not so much to be a particular way, as to be adaptable.
We need to always be aware that life is ever-changing. Even on the molecular level there are constant births and deaths. These are mirrored by the births and deaths of that which we experience- which is not in fact hours or minutes but in actuality moments. Rising and falling in our conscious like the sun for the world each day. Reality for us is a series of interlinked moments which flow from one to another, not always in a linear fashion. Perhaps by using our higher-brain powers we can piece together some kind of hologram of this situation, but certainly it is different from the many attempts to represent it in a linear, two-dimentional fashion. Why should time be two-dimentional? Don't our memories and hopes colour the present with their rich hues? Time itself is a mystery begging contemplation.
So here we are, living moment-to-moment, making choices based on our values, constantly- this is what life really is. The other, linear thing is a kind of zoned-out state of consciousness, much like that experienced by a zombie in 'Night of the Living Dead'. So if we want to be alive, to be vibrant like the dawn-star who gives us light each day, we need to be aware. As I argue, the only awareness is that of the living moment, coloured though it might be by our perceptions of other times.
When I get into this kind of subject more and more, I feel the 'Overself' emerging. Perhaps it is the 'Thought-Adjuster' spoken of in the Urantia book- perhaps it is a spirit-guide- but whoever it is, it appears as some kind of Atlantean, Egyptian or Tibetan personality. A character who possesses the lost wisdom that the ancients called their own. A cosmic wisdom, a wisdom without fear of pressure or confusion- something more complete than that known nowadays. Like the symbol on the hieroglyphics, it is the sign of the wings of the spirit; homo-ignateous. Not so much the Superman as the next man-the man becoming an angel of mercy and wisdom. The human who realises that to reach an ability to fulfill the values he holds dear, it is necessary to evolved first.
Yet in the space of a lifetime, little evolution is possible. No doubt a lifetime is crammed full of trillions of the moments I elude to above- spaces of time microscopically smaller than a mili-second. Yet even so, in the grand scheme that is a small period. So, knowing that my own limited faculties will not be able to see enough of the truth to effectively guide me, I seek the wisdom of those far more developed than I. The Overself, the mind-adjuster, prayers to God Almighty.
This blog is primarily to transmit their wisdom. The issue of who I am is not entirely irrelevant, this is not an exercise in any sort of self-annihilation, but it is not the primary purpose of this transmission. Here you can see my true mission as I best understand it- to spread light and truth to a confused, trembling planet and thus aid it's discovery of peace. It is important that I again emphasise that the teachings contained herein are not the product of my fragmentary and limited mind. I lay no claim to having constructed them. They are not the product of any particular genius I may possess- they were merely given to me, in my mental anguish of unknowingness- to share. As much as possible, I hope to do so here.
