Addiction: A Perspective

7/6/2015

Michelle Ellerd

"This article explains addiction and shines a very important factor lying to and away from addiction. That is obtaining a healthy social structure. We recognize it as a support circle or revaluation of what we choose to be in our surroundings. We need to be social, yes, but we need to know what 'home' is to our selves. 'Home' is a place that reflects all good traits of yourself, reminds you of who you are, and reminds you of all of your potential. HOME drives you places you thought you'd never go independently.' Home for me is the nursing field and the horses. These two places give me simple silent reminders of my essence in its purity. Validation is found here. Extraordinary." ~ Michelle Ellerd

This article presents evidence of a cause for addiction that isn't typically validated as being fundamental where we tend to focus on the symptoms of addictions, such as drug abuse and other addictive, compulsive and repetitive behaviors such as are associated with gambling, nail biting, hair twirling, eating, sex, and a slew of other creative expressions rather than focus on a cure.

Metaphysically, it appears that we're inclined to become attracted or attached to whatever gives us immediate gratification when we are subject to limited opportunities to engage with each other and/or with our inherent passions. This precept is rooted in the premise that energy vibration is flowing to achieve balance or wholeness, similar to how water flows to balance when spilled.

I believe that fulfillment, gratification, joy, love, etc. are found in the engagements between us. In a manner of speaking, we're the conduits of the love that flows. When we tap into it, what we traditionally call "addictions" tend to drop off by default, another spot where love heals. The healing is the allowing of the flow of love through us, rather than being at the effect of a restricted/resisted flow of love that causes dis-ease. Thanks for the opportunity to look and remember.

Namaste,

Rape: An Outcry and Symptom of the Condition of a Human Being

4/9/2015

"...if we just taught young boys that rape isn't an option..." ~ Anna Akana

We are all accountable for our behavior and for the consequences of our actions. This blog post is not about whether a person is responsible for his or her actions. It's about a perspective and approach to prevent people from being inclined to choose rape as an option.

I have never met anyone who told me that they didn't know rape is not legal, that it is not a lawful option. We have pretty much figured out that laws aren't effective at stopping rape. It might be a minor deterrent, and the fact that a deterrent is needed tells us that we're on the wrong track. The opportunity and cure is to address the dis-ease that might trigger a human being to pursue to violate another human being.

Rape is an outcry, a symptom of the condition of a human being.

We all know that rape is not about sex. It's about feeling powerless, as if we don't make a difference, that we are not appreciated, not valued, and not respected. Rape is a tantrum and futile desperate pursuit to feel powerful, accepted, appreciated, loved and respected by force.

The question is, "How do we teach 'young boys' that rape is not an option?" Answer: Love and respect our children, acknowledge and inspire the contributions they make. Demonstrate that they are great and that they make a difference with you and the world.

Love causes love. Love and rape can't happen in the same time and space. When we love our children and each other, we humans are less likely to become rapists and rape each other.

Namaste,

Cycle of Drama For a Cause

11/23/2014

"There are some things in the world we can't change -
gravity, entropy, the speed of light..." ~ David Suzuki

Notice this sticker includes that entropy is something we cannot change. Entropy is a doctrine of inevitable social decline and degeneration. Therefore, the message is a phrasal oxymoron keeping the drama going, which is exactly what we want. Why? Because conflicts are cracks through which love flows, ultimately. Thank you for the opportunity to look and remember.

Namaste.

Earth Day

11/18/2014

“A group of friends are uniting to nurture and celebrate the Earth for a day. We call it Earth Day. From a metaphysical perspective, what’s the value, if any, to acknowledge corruption that abuses and injures the Earth and mankind? We explore." ~Joe Simmons

The good news is that the group members of us are resonating at similar vibrations in the endeavor. Based on the Law of Attraction like energy attracts each other. Therefore, we know that we enjoy aspects of energy alignment because our paths have crossed. It's just a matter of flipping a few rocks and recognizing the semantics of language to see it more clearly. This need/opportunity/imbalance is a part of the divine design, built in so that we can feel the love that we are. In the human form, we feel the love in the process or in the movement to balance, in my opinion. That's what the manifestations of the physical plane/domain provide instantly.

A perspective is that we're operating in a play ground of distinctions or recognizable/identifiable manifestations. We call it the physical domain. The words are born inherently, by their definition, telling us that a comparison is available and intended. We know at "important" levels that we need to compare in order to recognize a thing or to bring a thing into our experience or to perceive a thing at all.

"We need each to have the other." ~Joe Simmons

The experiences or perceived circumstances serve to remind us about what we desire or about our purpose. They give us a radar screen, albeit of limited sight, to elect goals and conjure structures for fulfillment. We choose goals in order to set us onto paths that are most likely to give us particular experiences that we desire. The structures for fulfillment give us the tools and a playground on which we place the paths to get there.

Let’s try on that we are organically one with all things that exist, animate or not, and that each part of us is alive and conscious, including the rocks and air of us. From there we can surmise that we are all one system working together perfectly despite our ability/inability to perceive it, all things are flowing to balance as we wish, remembering that we desire/"need" the movement in order to feel it. The "it" is the love that we are. We can't feel it in stillness. Notice how semantics can creep in with that idea. Keep in mind that thoughts count. Thoughts are included in the category of "things" and silence is a space in which we allow thoughts to flow in. The purpose of words is to have us look in a direction. We may use them to move forward in the exploration, rather than to allow them to stop us in our tracks.

That said, we've conjured all these contexts as playgrounds to have experiences. The ultimate goal, however way we disguise it, is to feel love, in my opinion, and I invite us to try it on like a coat.

We are "born" in the pursuit to feel and realize the love that we are, and we have inherent human-centric perspectives about how that should look or happen. Being inherently human-centric, our primary reference is the significance that we are predisposed to place on the human form. It is our primary platform for comparison. With that, we have all these opinions, rules and whatever else we conjure to keep the game/contrasts/conflicts available, which perpetuate an environment of flowing to balance.

We like it because we feel the love in the movement. Think emotion, the space of feeling (present participle, e.g. form of verb, happening in the now, action, movement, motion, to move). We feel via emotion. That is where and how we feel the love. Therefore, we intend the imbalance so that there is always movement to balance. Think water flowing.

Corrupt corporations, government, etc. are real entities, albeit "fictions" in our experience, and we (the individuals) give them life by the attention we feed them. They are real (distinct from "true') as they come into our experience by the thoughts, contexts, consequences etc. that they represent that help to trigger experiences. We rely on the contexts that they bring to give us comparisons to something we desire to experience. We (all the parts of us) are in partnership. Thank you. Think gratitude. Love flows there. Conflicts are cracks through which love flows. We are conduits to the flow. We either allow the love to flow through us, or we don't.

To communicate the idea, let's say we use "corruption" to recognize the things that are not corruption and to help us to identify what we desire. In this space of endeavor, let's say we desire to be well, healthy and to feel love. The Earth of us is included in the We. We use plural forms of words (and sometimes third party references) to recognize that the one that we are is made of unique parts, as is the human body microcosm. Still, we remember that we are all one and accountable for the well being of each part.

It helps to know from where we start, to know the substance of the platform/foundation/playground in order to pursue what we desire and we do not need to dwell on it. For example, if we are using a cane to move forward, we need to know whether the floor is sand. Then we may build a suitable cane so that we are able to move forward more easily.

We remember that we give life to what we think about and entertain most often. According to the Law of Attraction, whatever is present in the moment will expand. Therefore, we can surmise that we have an opportunity to choose what we are placing into existence (including thoughts) that we wish to have expanded. It appears that we choose love.

Earth Day is an opportunity to love ourselves. The practice, according to the Law of Attraction will attract more love, which is exactly what we want. By creating an Earth Day and even the distinction of us that we call the Earth, we’ve conjured a context that we feel gives us permission to be loving, openly, and to cause love in a way that more of us might recognize, accept and embrace in a sitting. It’s a way we plant seeds of love to cause more of it.

That’s my opinion. Thank you for the opportunity to look and remember.

Lovingly Namaste,

A Perspective on the Purpose of Abortion

11/11/2014

"How do you counter such facts?" ~Jerry Villano

Here's a perspective to try on like a coat. Why not? We start to understand the entire notion and context of abortion by realizing that we're spiritual beings having a physical experience. That doesn't mean that we are spiritual beings who have temporarily become physical for a while by being born. It means that the physicality is a state of interpretation of conscious energy vibration that is us and that are the parts of us that give us a particular experience. That might sound strange. Please bear with me.

Maybe, we remain the spiritual (conscious energy vibration) substance and the experience of a physical life is an illusion. There is no real death, no real murdering. We exist eternally, "unkillable". The murdering, dying, etc., are just contexts that we've conjured in this state to keep the drama going. Why do we keep the drama going? We keep the drama going because of a particular experience that we desire that the illusion of life helps to provide.

The particular experience that we desire is to feel the love that we are, as we flow to balance. So, why do we have those things that seem to contradict love? Because, we also know that in order to experience a thing, we must be able to compare it to something else in order for it to come into our experience, or in order for us to notice it.

Go ahead. Try to notice anything without the things around it that are not it. There is always a comparison. We need those things that appear contrary to love in order to notice the love. So, here we are feeling love by having compassion for the "lives" that are "taken". It's a perfect science. All of it is intended, divine and perfect. Thanks for the opportunity to look and remember.

Lovingly Namaste,

Is Love Real or True?

6/19/2014

Kimberly Ann Gomes

"Ok, I'm getting on it right away...should I be sitting cross legged, arms extended, palms up for this? Lol." ~ Kimberly Ann Gomes

That could work, Kimberly! Any position works great as long as you're comfortable enough! I like to listen to the silence behind the noise as a meditation. It's the birthplace of the manifestations, where "Love" lives.

When we're present and tuned in to the moment, peace roles in and It becomes very obvious that "love" is the only "true" thing. I'm putting love and true in quotes because the labels and sentiments of love are human-centric in and of themselves, and that we actually access and experience love (try this on like a coat) in the space of is-ness and in the aftermath of where energy has flowed or is flowing to balance, similar to water flowing to level. In human form we feel love in the movement and in comparing the conditions of us, such as before and after the flow.

I do believe that the love to which Deepak Chopra is eluding is "the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe" and I'd just take it a step further to be as objective as I'm able in this particular review, accepting and celebrating the perspectives/experiences of the flesh while distinguishing what's real from what is true.

"Reality" is anything that occurs that we experience by our personal account and interpretation, illusions included. "Truth" is what actually occurs, rather than an interpretation of what occurs, and rather than the manifested illusions that the occurrence presents.

We attempt to identify love objectively. Stepping outside the human-centric perspective, love, as we are inclined to regard and celebrate it, is more real than it is true. That might sound strange until we embrace that "reality" is anything that we experience to be occurring, while “truth” is what is actually occurring, rather than our experience or interpretation of what is occurring.

In the physical life, again, we feel love in the metaphysical movement from imbalance to balance and in the resting places and/or in the relief we feel by comparing the conditions of imbalance and balance in the moments. Notice the word moment contains the etymology of movement, such as momentum does. It indicates that we feel love in the movement, or in the flowing to balance.

Then we inherently and automatically humanize and romanticize the metaphysical flow and call it love. In his quote, Deepak Chopra appears to inherently demonstrate and forgive our humanoid narcissism, accepting our human-centric perspective as an accurate or true account of love. However, in doing so, he recycles the sentiment in the end where he romanticizes love, implying sentimentality by default. It reminds me of green trying to be brown. The opportunity is to stand as the observer of the color, rather than being the color. Mr. Chopra points us in that direction.

Love, as a sentiment, is insidious to human kind by design. However, if we attempt to occasionally stand outside of our humanoid selves, or temporarily separate or distinguish ourslelves from the distractions/illusions of the flesh, we gain insights for enrichment.

It helps to recognize the possibility that love is a metaphysical phenomena of us just as are the physical domain, gravity and centripetal force, and that we pursue points of engagement to feel it, only.

For example, exploring this premise helps me to be grateful more often, to dwell less on the drama and pain of love, knowing that "pain" is an indication that love is present and that it is just a way my physical-ness perceives* it, which gives me another opportunity to see it, be grateful and celebrate it more often. Let's not let conjured debilitating interpretations separate us from the love that's in our faces and available to embrace and celebrate.

Ultimately, reality is our playground and it is true that we really experience the phenomenon that we are, called love, and that we co-creatively intend and manifest ourselves in exciting, rich and spicy ways in order to feel what we are. We are conscious substance or energy or light or whatever we want to call ourselves, perpetually flowing to balance, becoming anew, also known as Love. ♥

Choose Love

3/24/2014

"Stay in the flow, its important right now as we are moving into an expanded shift.. trust that all will unfold in DIVINE order! ♥" ~ Valerie A. Elster

The energy vibration of us is expanding at an increasingly accelerated rate at this time in history. Think of it like the centripetal force of a ball attached to a rope, tied to a pole and wrapping around the pole quickly while the rope is becoming shorter. We are all at varied conditions of consciousness represented by where we are located along the rope and at the ball.

The speed of the orbiting around the pole and the speed at which the ball approaches the center increases as the rope shortens. Since we exist or are at varied conditions of consciousness or at points of awakening along the rope and at the ball, we are each approaching the center at different rates and times.

The end of the cycle is a phenomenal awakening that becomes the epitome of the consciousness or reality that we've been entertaining most often. The question is, on what are we focusing, and do we want more of it?

The opportunity is to choose Love as often as possible along the way. ♥

The Ten Commandments - A Perspective

3/11/2014

"We recognize The Ten Commandments. They are not the Ten Commands. They are neither the Ten Demands nor The Ten Demandments...."

Invitation: In the explorations that we pursue together, I invite us to try on the precepts like a coat and see how it looks and feels. We might have to move around a bit to get the feel of it. Likewise, there is an opportunity to look at it in the mirror and notice how it becomes us. In the exploration, we consider the following as if it were true, whether or not it is.

The Ten Commandments

Click for: The Ten (10) Commandments – Were They Really 10 Or 13?

Thank you for joining me to consider a perspective on The Ten Commandments. Many believe that there are more than ten commandments. This article is not an exploration about the quantity of the commandments. Rather, this is an exploration into the substance, character and purpose of the list, regardless of the number of commandments it contains and regardless of the particular content of each commandment. This article is about the purpose and benefits of having the list. Thank you for joining me to consider the following.

By definition, there is no loving God figure or genuine divinely guided person or other manifestation that will condemn, punish, ridicule or judge anything. Likewise, one will not demand anything. Love does not demand, control, manipulate, threaten nor cajole. Divine love occurs unconditionally. That means without judgement and without exception.

Imagine that all genuinely divinable communications are tools to guide us and prompt us to remember who and what we are - to awaken our divine consciousness and experience our greatness that comes with it.

Divine Love occurs unconditionally only. In that, it dwells one way only. It provides a space that allows free being, lovingly and forgivingly. It provides a venue for acceptance, peace, joy, wellness and celebration to occur. The space includes abundance and an acknowledgment and experience that all is perfectly well. That is all it does.

That said, we continue with a semantic and ontological exploration of The Ten Commandments.

We recognize The Ten Commandments. They are not the Ten Commands. They are neither the Ten Demands nor The Ten Demandments.

To command is to cause a reaction or by-product. In this respect, we do not command anything to act as if by demand. To command does not equal to demand. Rather when we command or when we are commanding, we are causing enrollment such that the people and things around us align, make choices or become a certain way because of their experience of our being. We do not command like a demand. Rather, our way of being precipitates or catalyzes a becoming.

Therefore commanding is actually causing a form of natural selection or enrollment that is motivated by how we are being when we engage.

Our mode of operating in the world commands or causes an alignment of consequences. We cause particular enrollments and conditions to prevail. That is the commanding, the causing of the thing. We cause things by whom and what we are in the matter of anything. This is the Law of Attraction.

Therefore, the commandments are the things or the conditions that we manifest by who we are or by how we are being. We evolve commandments into being. They include certain prevailing natural inclinations, which I hypothesize, includes the checklist of precipitated inclinations, which we call The Ten Commandments.

In other words, The Ten Commandments are a list of desired symptoms or outcomes intended to remind us to be a way that precipitates them. Therefore, we present the commandments to ourselves as a reference or meter to determine our condition, our status as loving beings.

The Ten Commandments serve as a gauge to see how we are doing - to notice what we are producing. They are not a list of things to do like rules. They are not demands. They are a list of ideal results, which we can obtain by operating and engaging with divine love.

Likewise, The Ten Commandments are a list of symptoms that are present when we are true, when we have balance, when we access and feel the love that we are.

Perhaps the Ten Commandments are to what we aspire in the game of life for the joy of it. Perhaps this is true. Thanks for the opportunity to look. Please join me in the celebration of what is available. Life is good, rich, and spicy. ♥

Comparing the Ten Commandments by Religion

The War Hoax

3/5/2014

Veteran homelessness and poverty are symptoms of the hoaxes associated with the Corporatocrocy’s (a.k.a. the 1%) justification for war. Honorable pursuits do not end this way, generally, because divine Love inspires honorable pursuits, which result in forms of abundance and celebration. Therefore, we, including our well-intentioned soldiers and veterans are victims of the War Hoax.

There is no sane justification for war, only the opportunity to gain the resulting hardships. We know this because we cannot avoid the universal laws such as the Law of Attraction, also called Karma. What goes around comes around. This is absolute regardless of the opinions and justifications that we conjure and "buy into". Opinions, reasons, justifications, etc. do not matter. Killing is killing, hate is hate, etc. regardless of what triggers them. What we put out comes about, unavoidably. It is just a matter of time and degree that we notice it.

The question is, then, what do we want? Moreover, given the Laws of the Universe, e.g. what goes around comes around, what must we do or how must we be in order to achieve it?

There is only one sustainable way to get what we want. We must be it. This is the only way. This is what Mohandas K. Gandhi meant when he said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." ♥

Forgiveness Heals Everyone!

2/17/2012

Forgiveness - Joe Simmons

The following quote was celebrated on Facebook:

“Forgiving people who have hurt you is your gift to them. Forgetting people who have hurt you is your gift to you.”

I'm happy to say that this is inaccurate, in my humble opinion. Forgiving doesn't equal "tolerating" or "letting off the hook". To forgive is to choose love. It's a gift we give to everyone and ourselves. There's relief, freedom and celebration in it. You might ask, "Well, how is that true, Joe?"

The problem is that we don't forget - not even when we have ADHD, Alzheimer's, dementia or something like that; because, the vibration of the experience becomes a part of us and causes dis-ease. Forgiveness transforms the vibration and causes healing. Love heals. Therefore, forgiveness rules! <3

Lovingly Namaste,

Joe
