Being in Being

I spent a good part of today reading blogs (I probably spend too much time doing that) and, of course, politics was front and center, particularly the war on terror. It's pretty clear that the war on terror is a war with Islamofacism. So, in the midst of trying to keep my mind centered on God, I'm reading about people who blow themselves and others up, etc.

What to do? Ultimately, what we have here is people, like most of our brothers and sisters, who are living out of a perception of the world that does not see Being/God in each and every one and each and every thing. They are, it can be easily argued, pretty far out on the scale when driving a car loaded with explosives into a crowd of children and detonating it is somehow a holy event. But, to some extent, misperception is misperception no matter how far away from reality it is.

Interimly, I think that the USA and the free world have to endeavor to stop these people, despite the fact that it is, to some degree, playing in the same misperception as they are. Innocents must be protected. A person can attain clarity from anywhere, but it certainly can't hurt to be approaching it from freedom rather than from living in fear in a facist state.

Ultimately, there has to be a shift in consciousness to the point where what they are believing becomes unthinkable, even for them. A rising tide lifts all boats, and that applies to consciousness as well as to economics... or fishing! Many, many people need to consciously connect with Being. We need to see our being in Being, and live lives that stop conforming to what the world "knows" is normal. We need to break up the "already always understanding" of what the world is.

To me, this is the only real, permanent answer. Of course, it would be the answer even if this didn't confront us. Actually, the framing of the question isn't that much different, it's just that the focus is different.

I need to percieve the love of Being, and be the love of Being. I disavow any "knowing" or "understanding" I think I have and open myself to the Truth, to direct perception of Being. I open myself to help from Being, and from guidence by awakened brothers and sisters so that I can see and experience the love in all.

The time for "struggling" to get there is over. There is no reality in the struggle. God has withheld nothing from me, or anyone else. There is no test to pass, or some "ego-self" to overcome. There is only surrender into the loving Being, and a willingness to allow It to reveal It's True Nature.

I look forward to the time when I and many many others are awake and are pulling our brothers and sisters, including those who are now confusing their minds with thoughts of martyrdom or the advantages they can take in oppressing others, into awakening with us. Currently there are many different concepts of God, few of which include an ability to experience Being consciously in this moment. Soon, Being will become present and observable, and minds will begin to open and change.
