Terra,
EXACTLY!!!! And each of us can only begin where we are at: NOW. We cannot begin OUT THERE in someone else's idea...unless THAT is where we are living, WHICH THEN IS OUR NOW. In other words, if I am stuck staring into the flames of illusion, fascinated, terrified and I feel as though I cannot leave. In some way I am addicted to watching the misery on the screen, the terror it imparts. (Isn't that why people go to scarey movies? They are addicted to this sensation which causes them to feel themselves to be?)
In order to turn AWAY from the illusion to which my ATTENTION has been programmed, Mind must KNOW there is SOMETHING else, some other way. If it has within it the 'impetus' and comes across the knowledge, (seed falling on fertile ground?) it begins to 'grow' in strength the psycho-physical muscle of Letting Go or 'non-verbalness'. You are right: There is NO Void. Non-verbalness and 'void' are not the same. When you manage to pull your attention away from the illusion (Roof Brain Chatter) Mind stands alone in the Light, washed in the sensation of pure Energy (ZPE). This Energy then allows for another Use of Language to come forth. I do not know how to describe this: Wholeness comes to mind. It is like KNOWING ALL WORDS AND ALL MEANING. This is Language in its full power (VRIL?)
[NOTE: Rayelan's discussion of the CIA's ability to insert words into Minds makes me think they KNEW of this possibility and attempted to insert their own 'layer' along the way to steer people off course. Of course, as in Raye's case, they ultimately failed. She has taken the information and simply used it to expose what they were doing. In this manner we can identify the Difference!]
One of the greatest minds of the 20th Century, the very French Dr. Hubert Benoit explained it this way:
Ordinary Man is standing at the bars of a prison window looking out at a world that terrifies him and yet he seems incapable of letting go the bars and turning around. If he did, he would discover that behind him is total and complete freedom in the very world in which he sits. And that it is only his ATTENTION that is imprisoned...nothing more.
THEY have captured ONLY our Attention. ATTENTION is the great NOW energy of Mind. If we 'grasp' our ATTENTION with our 'Intent to do so', we can begin to move it away from the window of illusion. As we learn to focus it within the NOW where we 'sit' we are at first terrified because we cannot 'feel ourselves to be' since we have defined our selves by our Emotivity (fear, relative joy, anxiety, etc.). So we must PERSIST in our Letting Go of language over and over until we begin to 'identify' a new place of being.
This process is EXACTLY like the child learning to walk. It falls down a lot and must have both the impetus and the knowledge to try again and again. Eventually, it takes off across the room and never looks back!
The point about looking at the 'underground' is this: Many people seem 'stuck' behind the 'politics'. They are still LOOKING towards the System to right itself and save them. As long as they have reached this place and cannot proceed because they are 'forbidden' to look into the shadows where the CIA et al is ruling them from, then they will remain stuck. If they can perceive there is a gateway OUT, they will continue to proceed in the darkness, even though they cannot SEE.
All of the World's controlling Mnemonics (CIA,MI5,FBI,NSA,NWO,MJ12 etc. ad nauseum)are busy pointing directly at the wall by flashing the torch of fear at us and telling us where we must not go. Derision keeps many people out. They are afraid of being associated with an idea that is 'different' from the norm (Ignorance about Chemtrails is a good example of this. the idea of 'stopping the Roof Brain Chatter' thru meditation is another one. 'I Can't do that' they say to themselves, 'whatever would so and so think?').
Those who have a hard time finding the place of meditation MUST continue to go forward into the flames in the same manner that Dorothy HAD to march down the yellow brick road until she got to the end. They are meant to pull back the curtain and see what is behind it. They may have a 'soul agreement' to expose the wimpy wizard so that those who are held in bondage beyond even them will also be released.
I guess it is all a matter of defining the 'fire'. Some will respond to the flames in front of them (I used to go to the scarey movies ONLY because I wanted to be with the person who took me...then I would practice staring at the fear - which I hated feeling - until I found the inner 'projectionist' and I would sit and stare at 'im' instead. Great Exercise!!!)
Some will respond immediately to the meditation place, and it will become the Way Out.
Ultimately one finds ones self between the rock and the hard place. This is the BEST place. BECAUSE, as Dr. Benoit tells us: This is the place where Mind finds its self! When you at last have no where to turn; no place to go. Can neither go forward nor backwards...there is a solution, but it is NOT the solution to the problem:
IT IS THE REALIZATION THAT THERE NEVER WAS A PROBLEM TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!
In other words, Mind is creating it all. But saying that means nothing to us and just gets us stuck in more stuff. REALIZING IT FIRST HAND, going through the 'fire' in whichever direction seems right for you, until you come to the other side, releasing the fingers of your ATTENTION from the prison bars...that is the NEW PLACE.
Like the child learning to walk, I fall incessantly over the programmed blocks of childhood induced fears (psychic emergencies), pick myself up, dust myself off and focusing carefully, walk a little longer each time. I am not fully SEEING the Light; but I am living in a kind of 'afterglow' so at least I KNOW of its existence. I suppose in the same manner that a child sees that adults walk without falling down, yet without having to focus on walking. Automatic Mind. This is the goal. The baby bird flying without thinking.
There are always three ways out of everything: The positive, the negative and the unknown. The Unknown is the preferred. Between the positive and the negative, the negative will get you their faster (And thus the mess on the planet right now. (Not BEING it...rather, FACING it) In any event, the entire message of the post was this: IF YOU ARE STUCK STARING AT THE POLITICAL MISERY OF YOUR BROKEN SYSTEM, BEGIN BY FOLLOWING IT TO ITS SOURCE. HOW? BY GOING EXACTLY TO THE PLACES THEY TELL YOU NOT TO, FOR THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND THE WIZARD HIDING. And, like Dorothy, once you find him you will expose HOW he is keeping you 'stuck' in thinking he KNOWS more than you. Then you will be able to realize that there is 'no place like home', the place you've always been, where you sit: Mind without illusion. Cosmic, perfect, Whole.
Whew!
