All In

One day—after weeks of studying and being emersed in paganism and the various mystery religions around the Mediterranean, including many people‘s Understandings in those days about the importance of both logos (cultural logical thinking) and mythos (what‘s behind the scenes), and their complementary nature—all before Jesus‘ appearance … and then the subsequent developments of both “official” Christianity and Gnosticism—I drew a schematic picture for clarity. This had been a big study, amidst my multiple culmination processes of the past year, where I needed to stand back from the whole thing. It was four days before I blog-posted “The Tree of Life in 2012” on 1/1/12.

At the top of the page for my schematic depiction I started with Divine Love and Oneness—where each of us is an individualized portion of it (our Essential I). Then on the left side of the page I showed the eating of fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the biblical Garden of Eden story. Next, moving down the left side of the page came oppositional duality—good and evil, and on and on. After that, going further down the page, I showed the enormous interwoven complexity that has developed and evolved throughout the centuries from that first spirit-being collaborative emphasis of oppositional duality (along with other Troublemakers), to the present.

Moreover, by that time, four days before the heralded 2012 year began, I was already clear that it wasn‘t just oppositional duality that was one of the main problem-causers for we as the human species … it was duality itself! So near the top of my schematic picture, under Divine Love and Oneness—where each of us uses its attributes with our choices of patterns, I placed duality itself above oppositional dualism on the left side of the page.

What I believe now is that there is no fundamental duality … what there is basically are contrasts of time/space movements such as night and day, up and down, in and out— and interconnected relationships such as spirit and matter.

Then on the right hand side of the schematic picture I placed The Tree of Life—Oneness and unfettered divine Love—with basic characteristics such as easy/effortless; full health; transformation processes; joy; unified and integrated wholeness; safety; full potency; and full responsibility.

When I Saw the whole picture, it was clear that to continue with any more studies and Understandings about the past, such as I had been doing, was foolish. So I began to move more upstairs materials of books and folders from studies I‘d done over the years, to the basement. It was time to be even more wholistically aligned with the basics of divinity and the natural world, as I Understand them today. And of course by being more “all in” as a fully integrated composite Being this way, our body organism now has more of the opportunities it has wanted to have, to find out what it can Be, Become, and Do. And as a spirit-being human, who doesn‘t need to use cultural designs and ways of thinking so often, I can find out more of what I can Be, Become, and Do, too.

As I See it today, each of us as a spirit-being human has played our part and parts in the collaborative spirit-being duality experiment, and now it‘s rime to translate and apply what we‘ve learned. So no matter what ethnicity, background, or station in life a person has had and has achieved, in some ways it isn‘t really that relevant any longer. From my point of view, “the experiment” is about over and each of us has played the part or parts we individually chose originally. What does matter is what each of us does from now on—daily and moment-by-moment, with our experiences and what we‘ve learned … which actually can level the playing field a lot more in 2012.

With Best Wishes for the Highest Good, J.
