Of Man and God and Planet Earth: The Image and Likeness of Here in the Process of Humanity

...

God...?

ART by Ann van den Broeck

‘God’ is ‘Equality & Oneness’.

Equality & Oneness is the outflow of ‘who we are’ in every moment.

This is how god is omnipotent and omnipresent.

God is showing man what man has become.

God is mirroring man back to self.

God is neither good nor evil, but simply everything that is Here as the consequence of everything that is Here.

Thus god is all-times at all times.

God is the image and likeness of Here.

God is enslaved by man. God is what man is.

Can God save man?

No.

Man can save itself.

...“There is no way but through god”...

Man can be ‘god’.

Man can Stop closing its eyes and ears to the consequences of ‘who I am’, Stop denying the consequences of man’s thoughts, words and deeds throughout Time – and take Responsibility for What is Here.

Man can save itself through ‘god’ = through Equality & Oneness.

Why does man separate itself from God?

Why does man separate itself from what is Here?

Why does man separate itself from itself and each-other?

Why does man seek comfort in knowledge of books, when all knowledge is Here within and as who we are, within and as the cycles of history, the trap of time, the pain and suffering within and without.

Why does man not Give comfort to all equally?

Why does man not Give, when man wants to Get?

Why does man compete, when all men are equal in image and likeness?

Why does man deceive itself into ‘seeking for the One’, when each one is ‘the One’ – the one to breathe in order to live, the one to give in order to get, the one to stand up so as not to fall.

Why does man deceive itself into ‘looking for something out there’, when everything is Here.

Why is man not god in fact?

Why is man worshipping false gods?

Why is man self-righteous, when this only brings war, pain, suffering?

Why is man not learning from the lessons of life?

Why does man abdicate life through abdicating its equality and oneness as life?

Why does man seek to be superior, though in fact inferior, to life?

Why does man always have to win, when that implies that others must lose?

Why is man not truly its brother’s keeper?

Why does man deny life through its lust for profit, through greed, through con science.

Why does man abdicate godhood through false humbleness, deceiving even itself into mind sets of powerlessness, fear, delusion.

Why does man not stand up to its demons that make man a de-man, less than, inferior to what man can be as god.

Why is man subject to polarity, shown by the existence of man’s ‘inner struggle’ as well as life and death, and will the cycles end should man stand-up and stop its bipolar delusion?

How can man ever dis-cover what is real, when man is infinitely busy covering up the truth of itself through beautiful lies and justification?

How can man be a just custodian to earth and the animal kingdom when man exists in self-justification?

Why does man distract itself into self-destruction?

How can man change its desteni?

How can man elevate itself from de-man to man-kind?

Is anyone coming to save us?

No.

There is no other way but to Stand-Up and Walk through the eye of the needle – there is no other way but Equality & Oneness = that is for man to face oneself and stand up for life as life.

Self-Honesty

Self-Forgiveness

Self-Correction

Self-Responsibility

Self-Trust

Self-Will

Self-Actualization in self-awareness as Life = as all as one as equal – Here.

Within this, we change our Here through changing ourselves.

We change the effect by changing the cause, we change the end by changing the beginning – through creating a new beginning with a new starting-point: What is best for All = LIFE.

We change self-interest by transcending self as ego and re-creating self as life, as all as one as equal.

Then self-interest is equal for all – LIFE HERE – Common interest, on Common ground, in Common sense.

On Power and Illusion - Where is Life?

On Power and Illusion - Where is Life? 

ART by Marlen Vargas Del Razo

When a person looks at others and the world in terms of 'power', any perceived 'power' will be seen as a 'threat' - this is only showing that a person is obsessed by ideas of 'power' and has trapped itself within the polarity construct of 'superiority'-'inferiority'.

This can also been seen as the polarity construct of 'fear' & the 'desire for power'.

Clearly, this is not the 'realm' within and as which life is here. 

Life is life - life is equal. life not about 'power'. 

So the question for self to ask self is:

what am I fearing?

what do I fear losing?

what do I perceive as power?

what am I fighting for?

what would mean to 'win'?

what would mean to 'lose'?

Already through posing these questions, a person that has worked with the tools of self-honesty is able to see: none of that is real.

So the next question would be:

Why am I preoccupying myself fighting against invisible enemies like Don Quixote - instead of grounding myself here with what is real; instead of working on discovering what it is that actually matters, here, in/as this one reality we all share.

Many 'expressions' in/of this world are unacceptable: rape, mutilation, animals skinned alive, and the list is long. Much of the abuse going on in this world is accepted and allowed or even 'justified' on the grounds of 'free expression' or 'tradition' or 'honor' or 'religion', when in fact it is only about exerting power onto others to feel 'better', 'stronger', 'more', 'righteous'.

Clearly, real freedom as life cannot be the freedom to harm, cannot be the freedom to abuse.

Thus, people! Careful when one is (mis)using the mind to justify the 'right' to abuse and the 'right' to be 'free' of the 'group' that is life:

One is excluding oneself from life, excluding oneself from oneself as life; and if one does not snap-out of such a state of 'mind-possession' and self-realize what one is actually busy doing or demanding, self-realize what one has become and in humility self-forgive and direct oneself to change: one is in fact abdicating oneself, one is abdicating life.

At Desteni, 'self' is seen within a context. The context is life, as who we all really are.

When this 'context' is disregarded, the abuse and atrocity that results is unimaginable, as is evident in this world by far.

Within the context of life, life is the 'most', the 'highest' one can be.

To attempt to be 'more than' life only comes from ego and self-interest and is in essence self-delusion, self-abuse.

That is why we stand for individuality as self-willed equals. 

Equality is the key to life, it is the key to actual power.

Does Life choose to be Life?

When ´choice´ is lived as who I am, it is no longer ´choice´ - it´s who I am.

Thus I can say, no choice exist, there exist only direction: either one is Self-directive, or one is directed.

One cannot be Self-directive, unless one stands for and as Equality of Life. All those who perceive themselves to have ´power´ or be ´in control´ of themselves and/or others: are not free beings, they are in fact controlled and directed.

Life IS the directive Principle as Equality and Oneness - the Law of Existence.

Each is self-responsible, each is in fact responsible for ALL LIFE, because all Life is equal as one.

Thus each will see their own ass - consequence is inevitable, it is already created, it is already here.

In Common Sense it is obvious:

Self-Direction is only possible within and as Self-Honesty, whereby Self=Life.

It was said that the only real, actual choice is between Self-Honesty and Self-Dishonesty. This is only valid in Absoluteness:

If Self-Dishonesty is lived - ´self-honest choices´ are not valid - every dishonest ´choice´ invalidates all Self-Honesty.

If I need to ´choose´ to be self-honest - then Self-Honesty is not yet who I am.

The points of Self-Honesty and Direction clearly go together:

In Self-Honesty, Self = Life. Self direct Self as All as One as Equal as Life - because this is who I am = not a choice. It is a living expression of Self.

In Self-Dishonesty Self is defined of Systems in separation from Life - and thus Self is lost and has no choice but to be directed by systems, be it those of one´s own Mind.
