In the past 100 days not much has changed. Except for the new Dutch government, the killing of the most famous politician in Holland, and the American President, eager to revenge the blunders of his father. With thoughts always in the ancient past, most poor souls still think that revenge and violence and killing can solve problems...So far so bad.
Remember that those who revenge a crime are no better than those who started the crime in the first place. They do this in the name of religion. The ideas of religion and state are only a justification for some to dominate others. State and church work together to keep the small man quiet, promising a better world, forgiveness for crimes, salvation from [imaginary] sins and paradise in the hereafter... So far so bad...
There is hope though, for the doubter, for the seeker, for those that are right now wondering what is true and what is false of all that church bell ringing and those endless political debates that lead nowhere.
The truth can be known however, because Truth is Love, is Life, is Nature, is All. Only is the Truth twisted and hidden behind the lies and the empty promises and the beautiful singing in the Sunday service. I will reveal in several parts written over the coming days how you will find Truth. And who you really are.
It works as follows, first and foremost: you start to observe your thoughts.
You may be thinking of work, or of your partner, or of what is for dinner tonight, no matter what you are thinking of, observe it.
When we where young we learned that we had 5 senses, for: smelling, touching, hearing, seeing, and tasting. However, you have 6 senses. You wasn’t told that, because this knowledge will set you Free. The sixth sense is your mind, or spirit, or soul, whatever you call it. The 6th sense you use to sense what is wrong and what is right. You take decisions with it. You weigh with it if you shall buy this thing or that. If you like a person or not, if you shall go out or stay home. All that and more you do with your sixth sense. And with it you can observe your thoughts. Your thought is not you. Say, you are full of sorrow, you have lost something, or someone, and you are grieving. Now the thought of grief is overwhelmingly blocking all else, it is like a cloud blocking the sun. But, the grieving thought does not stay for ever, sooner or later it is gone. As sure as the sun comes up, another thought soon takes its place. Maybe your next thought is a happy one, you won the lottery, or you feel good in your new shirt and look in the mirror while you put on a fresh after shave, or while trying to get out on the road another car stops to let you get out of your driveway, whatever. That happy thought soon makes place for another thought again, you follow? Perhaps your next thought is angry, you found a scratch on your car when you got out after parking, it must have happened sometime when you wasn’t there, or the cup of hot coffee you took from the drive-through spills in the car on your skirt. Again, you are under a cloud, blocking your true own self.
Because you are still you, whatever you lost, you are not lost, and the lottery money did not even cover what you spent on tickets over time. The scratch is on the car, not on you, and your mind did not get soiled, only the skirt.
To find the Truth, first start observing your thoughts. As if you are sitting next to yourself and watching yourself and witnessing what is taking hold of you right now. YOU ARE NOT THE THOUGHT, always keep in mind: YOU ARE THE THINKER.
Learn this and soon you will find out who you really are, and all by itself you will see that the thought is nothing but a thought, it is not you. Next I will tell you how the thought observation process leads to Truth.
And why do you think, is this never told to you in school or in church or anywhere else?? Because when you know this you cannot be mentally enslaved, and you will become free. Which is very much against the interest of church and state. To be continued.
