Unity Thinking

Submitted by Anders on Sat, 07/17/2010 - 10:50am

With Unity Consciousness there will of course also be unity thinking. That's what I believe. And unity thinking is on another level than ordinary thinking. So we should just drop our ordinary thinking! Or at least relax our thinking tremendously. So that unity thinking can emerge in us. If we just keep on using our ordinary thinking, we will remain on that level. That's like pushing a car instead of driving it. No matter how hard we push the car we will not be driving the car.

The Conscious Convergence ... a wave of unity

Another aspect is Unity

by Anders - 07/20/2010 - 12:41pm

Another aspect is Unity Resonance. The whole world basically, is vibrating with a separation resonance at the moment. So it's a massive shift needed in our own personal vibrational field to rise above the heavy collective separation resonance. The good thing is that as more and more people are starting to shift their vibration to Unity Resonance it gets easier and easier for everybody, including ourselves, to rise towards Unity Consciousness.

The opposite of love is not

by Anders - 07/17/2010 - 7:54pm

The opposite of love is not fear. Love has no opposite. The opposite side of the coin of fear is confusion. Fear and confusion go together. There cannot be any fear without confusion, nor any confusion without fear. In unity consciousness both fear and confusion have been collapsed and transmuted into love and the sense of separation has been healed.

The opposite of love

Love *does* have an opposite; INDIFFERENCE

That was a beautiful

That was a beautiful explanation Anders, thank you!

Thanks! Yeah, I have started

by Anders - 07/20/2010 - 5:01am

Thanks! Yeah, I have started practicing observing my own confusion. One almost scary thing I found when I look at myself with brutal honesty is that I don't trust anyone! Talk about confusion and of separation consciousness. So I have kind of started from scratch and am working on finding a solid trust free from confusion. Unity Consciousness, here we go! :-)

SOLID FOUNDATION

by tomas_jasper - 07/20/2010 - 5:36pm

Hello Anders and ALL. I found that the only foundation true to the task is Unconditional Love. Do you unconditionally love somebody? Anybody? Yourself? [Kinda brutal these questions but they're needed] Build on those relationships. DROP EVERYTHING ELSE. I found that my greatest moments of growth were when I have no other recourse, then I refocus on the LOVE of the ONE. It's difficult coz you start having to say no to going on the same way with relationships with other people that are not based on unconditional love. It takes time. We need to sit down, do energetic accounting and balance all relationships starting with the most pertinent. FEEL the balance. Fix it if something's wrong, even just a little tiny bit. Coz that tiny bit can be a crack in your love that starts growing. Make the tough loving decisions, and ground them, then when they're stable, make some more. Very important, grounding. (Drink lots of coffee, it helps. Hawaiian coffee is best.) You're going to get a lot of opposition from people who have been enjoying those relationships at your expense. If you're not grounded, you're going to slip.

Yes, the term unconditional

by Anders - 07/20/2010 - 9:06pm

Yes, the term unconditional love is as I see it the same as love has no opposite. The opposite of fear is confusion, not love. Here is a quote from the book Awareness by Anthony De Mello: "The first thing I want you to understand, if you really want to wake up, is that you don't want to wake up. The first step to waking up is to be honest enough to admit to yourself that you don't like it. You don't want to be happy. Want a little test? Let's try it. It will take you exactly one minute. You could close your eyes while you're doing it or you could keep them open. It doesn't really matter. Think of someone you love very much, someone you're close to, someone who is precious to you, and say to that person in your mind, "I'd rather have happiness than have you". See what happens. "I'd rather be happy than have you. If I had a choice, no question about it, I'd choose happiness". How many of you felt selfish when you said this? Many, it seems. See how we've been brainwashed? See how we've been brainwashed into thinking, "How could I be so selfish"? But look at who's being selfish. Imagine somebody saying to YOU, "How could you be so selfish that you'd choose happiness over me"? Would you not feel like responding, "Pardon me, but how could YOU be so selfish that YOU would demand I choose you above my own happiness?!" A woman once told me that when she was a child her Jesuit cousin gave a retreat in the Jesuit church in Milwaukee. He opened each conference with the words: "The test of love is sacrifice, and the gauge of love is unselfishness". That's marvelous! I asked her, "Would you want me to love you at the cost of my happiness"? "Yes", she answered. Isn't that delightful? Wouldn't that be wonderful? SHE would love me at the cost of HER happiness and I would love her at the cost of MY happiness, and so you've got two unhappy people, but LONG LIVE LOVE! I was saying that we don't want to be happy. We want other things. Or let's put it more accurately: We don't want to be unconditionally happy. I'm ready to be happy provided I have this and that and the other thing. But this is really to say to our friend or to our God or to anyone, "You are my happiness. If I don't get you, I refuse to be happy". It's so important to understand that. We cannot imagine being happy without those conditions. That's pretty accurate. We cannot conceive of being happy without them. We've been taught to place our happiness in them. So that's the first thing we need to do if we want to come awake, which is the same thing as saying: if we want to love, if we want freedom, if we want joy and peace and spirituality. In that sense, spirituality is the most practical thing in the whole wide world. I challenge anyone to think of anything more practical than spirituality as I have defined it- -- not piety, not devotion, not religion, not worship, but spirituality -- -waking up, waking up! Look at the heartache everywhere, look at the loneliness, look at the fear, the confusion, the conflict in the hearts of people, inner conflict, outer conflict. Suppose somebody gave you a way of getting rid of all of that? Suppose somebody gave you a way to stop that tremendous drainage of energy, of health, of emotion that comes from these conflicts and confusion. Would you want that? Suppose somebody showed us a way whereby we would truly love one another, and be at peace, be at love. Can you think of anything more practical than that? But, instead, you have people thinking that big business is more practical, that politics is more practical, that science is more practical. What's the earthly use of putting a man on the moon when we cannot live on the earth? Is psychology more practical than spirituality? Nothing is more practical than spirituality. What can the poor psychologist do? He can only relieve the pressure. I'm a psychologist myself, and I practice psychotherapy, and I have this great conflict within me when I have to choose sometimes between psychology and spirituality. I wonder if that makes sense to anybody here. It didn't make sense to me for many years. I'll explain. It didn't make sense to me for many years until I suddenly discovered that people have to suffer enough in a relationship so that they get disillusioned with all relationships. Isn't that a terrible thing to think? They've got to suffer enough in a relationship before they wake up and say, "I'm sick of it! There must be a better way of living than depending on another human being". And what was I doing as a psychotherapist? People were coming to me with their relationship problems, with their communication problems, etc., and sometimes what I did was a help. But sometimes, I'm sorry to say, it wasn't, because it kept people asleep. Maybe they should have suffered a little more. Maybe they ought to touch rock bottom and say, "I'm sick of it all. " It's only when you're sick of your sickness that you'll get out of it. Most people go to a psychiatrist or a psychologist to get relief. I repeat: to get relief. Not to get out of it."

love and fear

Love for some people is like a great big feline. A cuddly kitten and a raging lion. The fear arises from not trusting that the lion won't eat us.

religion divides the world, spirituality unites it.

The same with all negative

by Anders - 07/18/2010 - 1:15am

The same with all negative emotions; they are all based on fear and confusion. First it might be a good idea to notice that negative emotions serve a useful purpose. They are like warning signals indicating when something is out of balance in our system. In that way, negative emotions are useful, but we should learn from them, not STAY in them, or ignore them, or suppress them or generate more and more negativity. We should use negative emotions as directions to help us move into balance. So, that having been said, how are negative emotions related to fear and confusion? Simple. Let's look at a few examples. Shame = Fear + Confusion. Anger = Fear + Confusion. Sorrow = Fear + Confusion. And on and on and on. You get the idea.

negative

by Dan Miles - 07/27/2010 - 6:21am

All of our emotions arise from the primal state. If we did not fear and flee, we might have been killed. The quandry arises from not being able to discern what is a threat and what isn't. Trust and communication are often better tools than relying on our instinctive reactions. Take time to check it out. Maybe what is seen as threatening is actually something else, and the love can be relied on after all. Frustration for example, is often seen as anger. What you call negative emotions might actually be invitations to dialogue and problem solve.

Yes, and fear is certainly

by Anders - 07/31/2010 - 2:17am

Yes, and fear is certainly needed in separation consciousness. And understanding can replace fear. The move towards Unity Consciousness will as I see it involve using fear as fuel to transmute it into a higher level of awareness.
