A Bridge of Light

The Humber Bridge

Often the behaviour of others can be disconcerting, especially when it is received as offensive, threatening, or even clearly criminal.

The sickness of stuck-addiction© is ubiquitous and understanding that people around you may be spiritually sick can help disarm your reaction patterns to others and thus help to stop the unwitting spread of the disease through and in you.

We all live simply, on a basic existential level, in two places. We live inside our heads and hearts in a psyche that has a metaphorical skin and we live outside in a body that has biological skin, experiencing our interactions with people, places and things through both skins.

We dress both “skins” with clothes. Our inner skin is dressed with memorial rôles and habits and our outer skin with material garments suitable to moods, jobs and outer conditions.

When people are working with implements that cause friction, say digging with a spade, then the outer skin reacts to that attrition to try to protect itself. Hard skin is formed and that hard skin is called a callous.

When people experience friction and attrition in their psyche, especially when in early development, then that psychic skin reacts exactly the same as biological skin, it tries to protect itself. The psyche throws out hard and aggressive behaviour, such behaviour is often categorised as callous.

The defining factor in both the inner and outer situation that is commonly misunderstood, is that neither the callous skin nor the callous behaviour that is formed is subject to a conscious control mechanism.

A callous, whether physical or behavioural, is dead skin.

When the callous is behavioural, the person becomes trapped in sub-culturalised reactions that alienate them in an arrested development that makes their sensitivity, the very thing that the callous was vainly trying to protect and the thing needed for rehabilitation, virtually impossible to access.

So, beware of simply judging the callous behaviour of others as being wholly in the control of the perpetrator. Bad behaviour is appalling, truly manners do make the man, but stuck-addiction© is now beginning to infect very large numbers of people and cultural systems.

I just finished The Sufi Map of the Self by Haeri, Shaykh Fadhlalla on Kindle for Android! http://www.amazon.co.uk/kindleforandroid/

This book is just magnificent …. I managed to complete the assignments, they have helped me to remember that whether adept our beginner, the Way is given and has to be received as a gift. The Way is Love, it is practical, travel it.

Mastery

The mastery of any field is arrived at by the exercising of power through experimentation. The Master of the Unified Field arrives similarly and practically despite theories that predict the existence or otherwise of the Unified Field.

Creation is perfect now.

To approach any existential appearance that seems problematic without the courtesy of extending perfection to the Singularity first, renders any such approach tainted.

Per facio, through doing or making, is the Latin rootage of perfect. “Every day God is about a business”, is resourced from Islam and describes a Universal doing that is creation. “If it’s not practical it’s not spiritual”, is resourced from the discourse of the 12 Step recovery texts of the Narcotics Anonymous programme.

So there is a deep redemptive practicality about prayer and meditation. Spiritual principles of creativity make the Universe appear from the 90% Unseen that mystics call The Beloved and physicists describe as Dark Matter.

Practical solutions to any visible problem are waiting to gush forth from the Invisible when the place has been fully prepared for their reception.

That preparation is essentially one of clarifying the actual problem.

The problem facing cultural leaders presently is one of diction, their words are broken. The repair of words is a job for The Word, The Logos.

When you’re ready then …. diction resolution.

The yellow slash and the yellow barriers around the ‘I’ on the above indicate the disease of stuck-addiction, the Cinderella separation of the ‘Be’, the dislocation of the ‘now’ of the Diction Chamber shown in the concluding diagram.

Be-hav(e)-i- >>>> our©

The 4, 3, 2, 1 of behaviour change
1 – is our, the collective
2 – the person, ego portal, i
expanding and contracting
3 – is mental/time axis of inner space, hav(e)
4 – (1+3) is the now Singularity, be*

Three parts inside, one outside
Nine tenths hidden
One tenth seen
All matter like an iceberg

Behaviour change is from the inner ‘be’ >>>>
Flowing out >>>>
Constant change >>>>
Fecundity
Kun faya kun, “Be”, and it is.

||Be||hav(e)i <<< our
That is told to change from the ‘outside in’
Is not permanent
A revolving door of command
Lost in have’s maze
A hoopla parody
Whacked with the stick of money
The BE closed down
Overgrown castle of our Sleeping Beauty.

Then Life sends a Majesty
A sublimity
A mighty Word
A drawn again Excalibur
Exposing the labyrinth of the lost
haves and have nots,
Jailers and jailed.
Suddenly
Mankind’s
Pieces are returned to
Peace
All praise belongs to The One

Be well
Be healed
Be loved
Be sure
Be happy

The missing u …. waw
You
Returned
To Love’s behaviour

*Mandukya Upanishad
The Mandukya Upanishad reveals the mystery of manifest existence through the word AUM, which embodies the three principles represented by the three letters, and is beyond time and space, with the fourth principle indicating the surrounding silence of the unmanifest.

Spiritual Manners

Rumi is the most popular poet in the USA, yet the story behind the man is one of grief and probable murder as a precursor to the love poetry that is dedicated to Shamsi Tabrisi and to God.

The prophets of the Abrahamic tradition led lives that challenged the rulers of their day, challenges that often led to the messengers’ deaths.

After some thirteen years of being attacked for carrying a monotheistic message to his degenerating culture, Muhammad and his folk eventually defended that message with their lives at stake, though after the physical battles, Muhammad did say that future battles should be fought internally by Muslims.

Quakers were given the name as they shook with righteous indignation at the injustices of their day.

Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi was murdered at the end of his life by his detractors.

The Bhagavad Gita is a story of war, though it has an inner interpretation as well, it has to be lived.

The Buddha was attacked by demonic forces as he struggled with whether to carry his message to others, or not.

Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Lennon …. add your own favourite names ….

The point of these references?

The point is that any contemporary spiritual journey, to be following in the footsteps of predecessors, is liable to be dangerous, and if it isn’t, is it actually real?

Bewilderment

In the minutes of the meeting
Last held with God
There is an entry under
Any Other Business.

One of those present
Brought up the subject of
Mortal bewilderment.

It was asked of God
That if it were possible,
Could there be a standardisation
Across cultures
As to the post-death procedures
That are to be applied
On behalf of the departed
By those left behind?

God said that the rites
Pertaining to those
Who had died had two functions:
Sanitation and sanity.

As to the departed soul,
God said that He alone
Would take care of that.
