me

All is interflow. When “I” speak of “me,” the “me” is that part of the interflow that “I” claim. I stake my claim on this particular area of interflow and solidify it with the words and experience of I, me, and mine. This claim stake has been given legal rights and we can sue claim jumpers.

The interflow is different within each claim. Yet some claims have worked out a common agreement of overlap. This overlap has bounds however and if violated a me can accuse another of claim jumping. 

All is interflow. That which is beyond the bounds of the standard me has been called God, Mystery, the Absolute, the Wellspring and many other names. Some me’s are satisfied with this separation and live existence as an isolated me, relatively secure within their me-dom. Others seek to leap beyond the me-bounds and claim jump God.

In more gentle terms, at times the me-bounds dissolve and me opens to a wider, deeper, vaster experience with no thought of me at all.

our consciousness state

Some jeer at any idea of heaven or hell, but heaven and hell are right inside us, are our interior state, the state we are when relaxed, when no one is looking, when we are not putting on a show.

The body will pass away, but our interior state will not pass away. The so-called final judgment which is referred to in many cultures and civilizations across time is the simple, yet painful and humbling recognition of our interior state in exquisite detail. This is heaven. This is hell.

Yet it is not such a simple thing as one or the other. The realm of Consciousness is vast. The consciousness we are, the consciousness we even now continue forming, is but one hologram in this vast Holography, a dimensionality which ranges from brute insensitivity to active malice, from the dawning of awareness and self-love to Full Awareness and Full Love, from segregated exclusiveness to open radiance.

We place ourselves through our actions, our thoughts, our will in a certain consciousness state. This state of consciousness is our heaven and our hell. When the body drops, it continues. To elaborate on Mister Pogo’s wise saying, “We have met the Enemy and he is us,” I add, “We have met the Angel and s/he is us.”

We operate daily on this vast continuum of ourselves, from Enemy to Angel, from enemy to ourselves and all else to a radiant interflow of openness. Our choices each moment as to our consciousness state while in the body create, produce our consciousness state hereafter.
