Exploring “I”theism, Nonduality, and the Quest for Origin

Exploring “I”theism, Nonduality, and the Quest for Origin

Human belief systems and the concepts of “I”theism, nonduality, and the search for ultimate origins, and our place within it has culminated in atheism’s subtle elevation of the self.

  • Atheism as “I”theism:
  • Atheism, the absence of belief in traditional deities, can also be interpreted as a form of “I”theism.
  • The absence of belief in external gods leads to the elevation of one’s own intellect.
  • The human mind becomes the locus of authority and the arbiter of morality, drawing inspiration from quantum physics and theories like the Law of Attraction (LOA) or “New Thought.”
  • Nonduality’s Transcendence:
  • Nonduality, rooted in traditions like Advaita Vedanta, offers a contrasting viewpoint.
  • While it acknowledges individual consciousness as a divine aspect, it diverges from glorifying the self and transcends ego-driven narratives.
  • Nonduality emphasizes the inseparable nature of God and His creation, calling for the transcendence of the ego’s attachments to worldly things to realize inner divine nature.
  • The Quest for Ultimate Origins:
  • Neither atheism, Vedanta, nor quantum physics directly addresses this fundamental inquiry.
  • There is an irony in the elaborate exploration of the universe, which seemingly evades the question of its origin.
  • The Concept of an Intelligent Creator:
  • Within Judaism and Christianity, the concept of an intelligent creator offers an explanation for the universe’s existence.
  • It posits that the universe was intentionally brought into existence by a conscious and intelligent being, suggesting that order, complexity, and design point towards an intelligence behind creation.
  • Limitations of Connectedness and Oneness:
  • While ideas of connectedness and oneness offer insights into the nature of reality, they do not provide a definitive answer to the question of ultimate origins.
  • Concepts like quantum entanglement and interconnected consciousness focus on understanding post-creation existence rather than addressing the question of creation itself.

Is there a creator?

The question of the ultimate origin of the universe is a fundamental inquiry that has intrigued thinkers across cultures and disciplines for millennia, a question that does not get answered by either Atheism, Vedanta, or Quantum physics. In some ways it is as if there is a belief that “the more elaborate the exploration of the universe”, the more we can hide from the fact that it does not answer the question of how it all originated. Within Jusaism and Christianity, the concept of an intelligent creator is posited as an explanation for the existence of the universe. The Big Bang of course does not explain anything, it merely suggest that for some reason, nothing decided to become intelligence.

The idea of an intelligent creator provides an answer to the question of “where did it all come from” by positing that the universe was intentionally brought into existence by a conscious and intelligent being. This suggests that the existence of order, complexity, and design in the universe points towards intelligence behind its creation. (Not evolution, not our minds, not an accidental spark) When considering the concept of connectedness and oneness in relation to the question of origins, these concepts do not directly address the issue of how the universe came into being. Instead, they often focus on understanding the nature of reality and the unity that seems to pervades all existence. Quantum entanglement, spooky action, mind-over-matter, and our connected consiousness as one. Yet, none of it answers how it came to be.

What are your thoughts? Did we dream ourselves into being? Are we a product of evolution casued by sneeze in nothingness? Is there a necessity for a creator to explain the universe?

Are you acting on your disease?

Acting on the WORD, or acting driven by our circumstances or problems.

The fact is: -I have this illness, or this addiction.

The fact is: – I have these neighbors who harass me…

“The facts” are what you live by, and this is post is about how you turn Gods light out in your life, so that you can’t see where you are going, and to stop living by the facts and start living by faith.

Acting on the TRUTH of God’s word.

This post is dedicated to a reader who has this problem of acting on her problem.

Whenever there is a problem, this individual acts on the problem. Is this you? Do you also act on your problems? Right now, she hates the way her neighbor make her feel, so she wants to move out even before she has another place to live. In the past she gave up a job that she didn’t like only to find that she doesn’t have money to pay the rent, she contacted me a few days before eviction… She is acting on her PROBLEM.

Act on the truth of God, don’t act on your problem.

Faith in God’s Word

Act on THE WORD, in faith. Don’t act ON YOUR PROBLEM in faith. There is a difference, and the difference is in the outcome.

Your blessing doesn’t come if you act on your problem, your disease, your demons, or your addiction. Your blessing comes when you act IN FAITH ON THE WORD.

So many people read a sentence or two out of the Bible and then act like an expert in “manifesting”… My eyes have really opened to the confused thinking that people have been operating under. Maybe you stumbled on manifesting, and now, suddenly you know everything. You quote the Bible left and right, with authority, but you have NEVER read the Bible. Is this you?

When I say, ACT ON THE WORD, the word I am talking about is the Bible. MEDITATE on the word. Become the word. Read the word everyday. This is your manual. It is the law of the kingdom of heaven. Let the word IN to your heart and soul so that you know what the word says BY YOUR SPIRIT. The word will change you and you will walk by faith in the word, not faith in the facts. You will walk by faith in the Holy Spirit, not faith in your problems.

You are not God and you do not have the perspective that God has.

God will NEVER bless your problems. God’s word exists in the heavens, in the kingdom of God, and because it exists there, it is already settled here.

Your blessing is only one action away, an action IN GOD’S word.

A refusal to act on your problem, circumstance, illness or addiction. Because you are not God, you don’t know the repercussions of s single act of faith. Even if it seems small or insignificant, act on the word of God. You don’t know the repercussions of acting on one problem. DON’T act on the problem.

Stop acting out your doubt!

So you don’t ‘feel it” yet? You don’t hear the word of God?

You will.

AFTER you stop acting on your problems.

It comes little by little, sometimes it comes as one big revelation, either way it comes AFTER you stop acting on your doubt, so stop. You take the first step, of acting in faith and obedience to his word.

You asked for ALL OF THOSE BLESSINGS but when you come upon what is a necessary circumstance you freak out and you act on the problem, you start going all Karen on people, you make phone calls and ask for the manager, you start talking about lawsuits… is this you?

You ask for the Blessings, NOW you have to be led by the Holy Spirit. Act in FAITH OF THE WORD.

Turn at my rebuke, surely I will pour out my spirit on you, I will make my words known to you.”-Proverbs.

Yes, this means STOP acting on your doubts, and turn around, instead BE STILL, and walk in the truth, and the truth will set you free. YOU have to take the first step by NOT acting on that doubt.

I Want to hear God’s Voice

When you read the Bible every day, a little bit at least, God is reading you, and he tends to your needs.

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word WAS God.

The word is the Bible. The Bible IS GOD. The word IS the Holy Spirit of God.

To know God’s voice you must know his will, and his will is his word. You don’t have to guess, you just have to read.

You do not have to break a mental sweat, because you are not so much understanding, as you are letting HIM read YOU.

His will is his inheritance for you. Think of will as a will that your parents leave you.

His word is the password to the vault where your will has been left.

His WILL (inheritance) is his WORD (password to the vault). When you read his word, you are receiving his inheritance even if you don’t understand what you are reading. You are receiving the password into your heart, by giving access to the Holy Spirit into your heart, mind and soul. The word IS the Holy Spirit. By reading, you are hearing the voice of God.

It is easy, don’t listen to people who say that this is hard, or that it takes time. Just have faith in GOD’S word, read it, and walk in his word.

EIYPO or EIGPO?

EIYPO

There is no error in God’s code. We have been made in His image, in divine perfection, and an acknowledgment that any perceived errors or disharmony in our lives are a result of human interaction rather than a flaw in the divine plan. The idea that “everyone is yourself pushed out” implies that our experiences are reflections of our internal state, and conflicts arise from within ourselves rather than external sources.

Evil is unreal and leaves no stain

FLorence Scovel Shinn

Warning Against the Invitation of Sinful Men (Proverbs)

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them. If they say, “Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for innocent blood, let’s ambush some harmless soul; let’s swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit; we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; cast lots with us; we will all share the loot”—  my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood. How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it! These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves! Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.

God’s love is ever-present, even in the face of human imperfections and actions. Constant, peaceful and eternal. Love is the foundational force in existence, and we are merely interfering in its perfect flow.

For we are God’s handiwork

Ephesians 2

See others through the eyes of God, and in this way, recognize the inherent goodness and divinity in everyone. Viewing others with love and understanding, transcending our flawed own perception, is a way to align ourselves with the divine perspective. EIYPO becomes EIGPO (Everyone is GOD pushed out)

In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us 

1 John 4.10

Ultimately, EIYPO is a shift in perception, encouraging us to move beyond fear-based manipulation or domination tactics (the common EIYPO interpretation) and to approach relationships with love and a recognition of the inherent divinity in oneself and others, EIYPO becomes EIGPO.

Do not try to change people; they are only messengers telling you who you are

Neville Goddard

 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

Who, being in very nature God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.

 And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death—
        even death on a cross!

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,
 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2

Bliss Manifestation: The Power of Instant Manifestation

Bliss Manifestation: The Power of Instant Manifestation

“If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” -John 15.7

A state of bliss

A state of Bliss can  play a significant role in the process of manifesting desires, no matter what we are manifesting, however, it is not required.

When we are in a state of bliss, we are aligned with higher frequencies and vibrations, allowing us to attract and manifest what we desire more effortlessly.

Bliss generates a powerful energy field that radiates positivity, love, and harmony. It creates a magnetic pull that draws experiences and individuals into our lives. When we experience bliss, we are in a state of alignment with our true selves and the desires of our hearts. This alignment is magic for the manifestation process.

Specific person:

Stop doubting God by saying “If it is his will”, his Bible IS his will. His word IS his will. You KNOW his will, it is written. He says: “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’- Matthew 22.37

Manifesting a specific person requires more than just desiring their presence in our lives, or aligning our intentions and focus with the essence of the desired relationship, you also need to know the word of God so that you stop doubting “if it is meant to be”. Are you breaking commandments? Cheating? Wrecking marriages? If o, it is not his will.

When we are in a state of abiding in God’s will, which is his word, which is the Holy Spirit of God, we want to love God first and foremost and he does are will as we ask it of him.

The will of God is the word of god is the Holy Spirit of God, and when you abide in him he abides in us, this means that the Holy Spirit INDWELLS us. It changes us and we BECOME more like Christ, we become by the actions of the Holy Spirit more like LOVE, more loving, more Blissful. This requires total surrender and trust.

Letting go:

When we abide in Him, we come into a state of bliss, automatically we let go of the need to control or manipulate outcomes, allowing God act, and to create the circumstances for our desires to manifest.

Godspark or manmade?

Bliss is a state of profound joy and happiness that can be experienced on various levels. It is important to distinguish between the human experience of hyped up vibes and the divine bliss that is infused by the Holy Spirit, within the human heart, which only resonates with a vibration of unconditional love. 

Human experiences of bliss are often associated with temporary moments of excitement, elation, or pleasure. These experiences can be influenced by external factors such as achievements, relationships, or sensory stimulation. They can be attained by a yoga class, or other exercises, and while they can bring moments of joy, they are fleeting and dependent on external circumstances. Gods bliss is not dependent on any circumstance or exercise or substance because it comes from Him. (Even during bad circumstances.)

Circumstantial  bliss tends to be transient, arising and subsiding with changing conditions, and may be connected to desires and attachments. This type of bliss chasing can actually cause more ups and downs rather than less. Rely on God’s love instead.

It emanates from a deep connection with the God, wich in turn comes from abiding in his word, which is written. This divine abiding in bliss arises when the heart is opened by the Holy Spirit, to the first hand experience of of God. It is not dependent on external circumstances.

Divine bliss is characterized by a sense of profound peace, serenity, and contentment that surpasses the temporary highs and lows of human emotions. It is a state of being that connects us to the infinite and eternal nature of the divine. It is an experience of oneness. “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4.7

Do I have to experience bliss to manifest?

At the end of the day, the Bliss state is NOT a requirement for manifesting, but it is better than any manifestation, and it is yours to keep forever.

Desire plus Detachment is Manifestation!

Detach and Embrace….

Those are the ingredients you need.

Detach from need, feelings of lack, loss or desperation and commit to feeling fulfilled, calm and at peace. Don’t not be distracted by any other thoughts! Creation is finished.

Desire, or a burning desire, a true desire that motivates you forward in life is a feeling that is generated from WITHIN ourselves AS LONG AS it is a RIGHTEOUS desire. Otherwise it is generated by “the world”. How do you know if it is righteous? That is easy, read scriptures.

Our desires is the reason for why creation is still continuing. It is what has created every last manmade thing or idea, it is what continues to cause children to be born, it is what prompts us to live in homes rather than under the stars.

In a nutshell, t is creation. 

Our desires are planted within us, but so is the inevitable fulfilment. The righteous desire is a GUIDING LIGHT forward. And so is the knowledge of its fulfilment.

“Detaching” is when the outcome of the desire is surrendered completely to the sovereign Lord and savior, HE is the creator not us.  Detach from how the outcome will be done.

Imagine that you are watching the last ten minutes of a movie, and the end is perfect, everything worked out and the main characters are happy. You desire for something good, is all about the last ten minutes of your movie, and everything that leads up to that, the plot, that is what you detach from. No matter how it happens you know that what is coming is good.

Only When You Step Back and Let God….

If we don’t detach from the how, then the actual creation, the step by step making will be forced and willed  by ourselves.  We make ourselves int the “doer” but only God is the doer, so trust in that. You will be the one making your manifestation happen by your own actions, and only if you surrender, will it be made for you, and the fulness of the manifestation can come in God’s way. . God is doing it Take your mind off of it.

Most of the time we do this exactly the opposite, we give up on our desires, and we push and labor with our own might to just make it through one day.

Or, imagine baking a cake. You get the ingredients, then mix it and put in the oven. Once it is in the oven, the baking is being done by the heat. This is where you don’t do anything. You don’t have to become heat and bake. When you struggle with detachment it is as if you are trying to become the heat in the oven. Let go.

HE is Sovereign

See there IS NOTHING TO DO at that point. Let  go, …….eat, sleep, live your life….This is DETACHMENT, and the reason why it is hard to detach, at first, is because we are programmed to DO things. We do do and do, or we TALK TALK and TALK about it… stop all the doing and talking. Be Still and Know That I AM God.

Detach from DOING the doing, and be still.

Let the movie finish up, and let the heat do the baking.

Let the doing take care of itself for a few minutes. That is a good start of detaching.

When you find yourself in a space of just BEING, you suddenly enter into a completely different brainwave state,  it is a Zen state. “For I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of POWER, LOVE and of a SOUND MIND.”

THIS MEANS that you are no longer in conflict WITH GOD or YOURSELF.

What can you manifest?

Well, anything you desire. Righteous desires. Unrighteous desires have repercussions that we don’t understand.

Your ideas of limitations are different from mine, and your ideas of limitation are different from Elon Musk’s. Can you live on Mars? Well, depending on how we have accepted the ideas of our limitations. Elon Musk does not accept the limitations that cars cannot drive by themselves, or that we can only live on planet earth.

Did Jesus accept limitations?  Did he not heal the sick, walk on water and raise the dead?  Did Jesus have to try to convince anyone that you can raise people from the dead? Or did he just do it? He healed blindness with spit and dirt, he healed lepers on the Sabbath, he turned water into wine, and made bread and fish multiply.

There is a saying : “Those who say you can’t do it should not stop those who are doing it.” 

Your limitations are created by the world, but freedom is God’s. Don’t accept them. Deny any limitation, deny also unrighteous desires, rebuke them and be rid of them.

No More Talk Talk Talk.

That is all some people do, just The Bible says go and tell no-one, so you don’t need to tell anyone, ask anyone, get permission or confirmation, you just need to know that it is done within yourself that’s all, pray for your good and He will listen..

adult beautiful blur classic

•Detach from the HOW of the outcome

•You don’ have to become the heat in the oven

•You don’t argue with yourself about whether you have a right to bake a cake, guilting and shaming yourself about baking a cake and you don’t have to question your righteous desires either.

So allow yourself to have your desire so that you can observe how it comes into being.
