Transformations
They said to him,
“Tell us who you are so that we may believe in you.”
belief ? …..
He said to them,
“You examine the face of heaven and earth,
but you have not come to know the one who is in your presence,
and you do not know how to examine the present moment.
“Seek that and you will find.”
”Know what is in front of your face, and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you.
For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed.
And there is nothing buried that will not be raised.”
even though jesus spoke these parables 2 thousand years ago
he is speaking in this moment
he uses the word “know” intentionally…instead of believe
So the listeners is given the opportunity to choose to see
that only when your attention is focused in the reality of the present moment
can a mind formed belief
be transformed into a knowing…
a metabelief ?
for that which we try to call the truth
is only that reality directly perceived by your presence
in the felt moment of immediate experience
In just such a way
Only Now can you know the truth
As in all his parables that have not been misunderstood
the teaching’s of chirst consciousness
all point directly to the evolutionary departure from the egoic mind state
to path of being… present in the moment of life itself…
And this was what is so often misunderstood by the egoic mind
when he said
the way to the kingdom is though me
it is predictable the ego would personalize that …
Ok lets get real with this theme…
”Know what is in front of your face,
and what is hidden from you will be disclosed to you.
This physical object i am about to reveal to you from it’s hidden state
is a but a metaphor for the transformational liberation
possible … from the time bound egoic mind
jesus spoke of
but with your attention to them…..
he also said..
”the presence in these stones will serve you”
this is the crystal as it comes from the earth…
no light or human hand has touched its inner surface
In this stage the loose clay is gently washed off
with water and a tooth brush
but what you see as a coating of yellow
is clay chemically bonded with iron…
you cannot remove it by scrubbing
it must be done chemically….
The coating is not part of the crystal essence
and it’s presence coating the crystal prevents the light from reaching the crystal
and energizing it to its full vibrational potential …
“Congratulations to the one
who came into being
before coming into being.
If you become (my) disciples and pay attention to (my) sayings,
these stones will serve you. “
“Show me the stone that the builders rejected:
that is the keystone.”

nicely done transformation :sunny:
what kind of chemical do you use to remove the iron bonded clay? i didnt know that step was involved.

sometimes i wonder….
if your constant focus on the “egoic mind” only in fact strengthens its reality instead of seeing past its illusions? Or perhaps you have already done so and are only revisiting (carefuly) to inform others?
:spinning:
You can never see past a choice you don’t understand..
My attention to the egoic mind is not the intention that keeps it present as the dominant state of human consciousness…..And has made its presence felt since the beginning of civilization
I give it attention because, unless you are in denial, it is present with us now
In just such a way…like you would catch a vase that is falling….
It is a situation we must see and understand before we can transcend it
I realize first I must take the splinter from my own eye
Before I could suggest to another how they can remove the splinter from theirs.
This Xanga is the way I examine my eyes for splinters…
if it helps another that is Ok…:sunny:
Yes.
i might understand some of that…
A compelling post. If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.”-Gibran
The imagry effect in the cathedral print is quite interesting.
:goodjob:
:wave:
yes plank & splinter removal is a requirement for clear vision :coolman: nice post kinda like revisiting the past
So… eh … what was that purpose in which these stones serve us? :wha:
