NEW CONCEPTS REQUIRE NEW CONSCIOUSNESS....

Are we really what we eat? Are we really what we think? Are our beliefs reality? Are we simply a product of our teachings, environment and genetics? What if we looked at our existence differently? What if our perspective of life, God and all of creation evolved beyond popular concepts, thoughts and theories? Is there a clear thread of theology in the Bible? Would believing the world is flat keep us from going over the edge? Would seeing ourselves from another perspective make us better?

Whatever beliefs we embrace were formed by the experiences and teachings we encountered during the most vulnerable and impressionable foundation laying time of our lives. Most of us assume that we govern ourselves from within the center of our being by certain moral standards through the seat of our consciousness. That orientation would be the ideal position to properly reflect upon our own motivation and purposes, but most of us have difficulty seeing ourselves as we are. The average individual reflects externally, from without, and defines "self" through the perceived values of others. Homologous acceptance and affirmation from others can become so important to us that we willingly compromise our integrity for that confirmation. This is the posture that promotes being right, looking good and saving face. The motivation to lie is a byproduct of this condition. This makes it easy to find ourselves "always ready to defend" any point or position we embrace. Most "right fighters" are deceived through their own "personal truths."

In practice most of us rarely question our core beliefs. It is their fundamental essence that influences and determines how we interpret supplemental information. Concepts developed from invalid or corrupted sources will lead to faulty conclusions. Our integrity is what empowers our words and our deeds are what empower our values. Whatever conclusions we draw, no matter how well intentioned, are partially based upon a need to manufacture what we already expect to find. We create our own acceptable narratives. Some of the most difficult truths to face in this lifetime will be about ourselves. Self examination is not a popular subject, course or study. It is one of the least explored areas of psychology. Mindedness is just as important as mindfulness. Being open, (accepting things and people as they are and as they are not) although under rated, takes priority over every other aspect of understanding human behavior. How can we rid our neighbor of the speck in their eye when we have a beam in our own? By misinterpreting our feelings and ignoring our senses we allow irrational emotional ties with relationships to reside inside our being. Reactions, Interpreted as "good feelings," like silence, enabling, revenge, payback or one of its cousins; associate emotionally to justifiably disguise themselves. Openness works through the lack of pre-judgement to produce acceptance; and to acceptance add openness; and to openness add understanding; and to understanding add insight, this is one aspect of wisdom.   

Just as the physical law of charged bodies tells us opposites attract; the universal law of attraction tells us that likes attract. These principles are no more contradictory then any two scriptures in the bible. There are laws that govern laws and a science that defines any law at any level of its manifest existence. We cannot embrace or understand the different laws across various physical, spiritual and multi-dimensional platforms without their scientific key. Realizing that all energies are attracted to, and group themselves with compatible (like/as) energies should resolve any misconceptions regarding seemingly physical opposites in correlation with one another. At the highest level of scientific understanding likes attract at the lowest level of physical observation it "appears" opposites attract, but they are more alike than unalike. We can only demonstrate truth at the highest level of our understanding of it. Remember thoughts that impregnate specific ideas group themselves around similar structures (spirits). Concepts pertaining to power will assemble themselves around structures infused with power. Concepts of love will only be attracted to other concepts of love.  As we expand our consciousness we can get a deeper understanding of these concepts. Only by a conscious effort to delve into the subjective part of our own being can we expand and grow our consciousness.
