Global Mental Health: Update

Global mental health symptoms represent the universal condition of human unhappiness on earth. From the spiritual perspective, the escalating mental health issues represent the externalising of human nature in our times. Human nature began to emerge early in the evolutionary phase of man and woman’s transition from instinctual to self-reflective beings. Being a reproduction of the real thing, human nature was from the beginning in revolt to the natural order of life on earth. This stepping out from the perfection of the creation to a world designed to the specifications of humanity set in motion all the negative effects in existence which now besiege the people on earth.

Mental health is now a generic term which disguises the root cause behind the afflictions that disturb and torment increasing millions of people around the world. The global neurosis of being separate from love as the revitalising original state of being is creating the need for a deeper engagement in a virtual world. This world has no love or feeling and is reliant solely on the mental connection created by an artificial intelligence programmed by an artificial mind. The original nature of love and beauty remains untarnished deep within each man and woman. But the sheer daily deluge of data and information, together with the negative forces of existence (engendered through human beings emotional way of life), rules out any long term solution for the masses.

Mental health issues will escalate in future generations to become the most destructive and widespread affliction of humanity in history. Electromagnetic pollution will be identified as the main culprit – but nobody will grasp what is happening within the psyche and where humanity is heading. I’ll have more to say on this subject in future posts.

 

Forgiveness

It’s impossible to forgive anyone or anything until the pain of inner conflict has been resolved. An extreme example is when a child has been killed and the culprit has been charged with the crime. Can a mother or father be blamed for not forgiving the one who caused such grief and pain? Or is something beyond the normal reaction of such happenings being overlooked and perpetuating needlessly the suffering of people on the earth.

What goes mostly undetected is that the anguish and animosity towards another, or whatever caused the suffering, establishes an active polarity of force which keeps the past alive. Peace and resolution is then impossible since there is an influx of unresolved energy vibrating at the level of palpable psychic intensity. Over time, the fluctuating feelings become an integral part of the person who exists partly in the present – but for the greater part supporting the weight of the unresolved negative emotion lodged within the psychic body of pain. Frequently, the force of refusing to let go of the past is projected upon loved ones who are endeavouring to help that person to cope with their emotional trauma.

As someone becomes more conscious of the workings of the inner self, the energy normally dissipated through an unconscious way of life is harnessed. This exposes more of what had previously been obscured by the emotional cladding of the self. Many of the concepts of what it means to be a human being (previously assumed to be infallible indications of moral goodness) are abandoned for a more reliable source of truth. This is the dawning of the responsible man or woman, answerable not to the whims and hearsay of other minds fed on the indoctrination of religion or traditional values but to life lived without compromise or fear.

At a certain threshold of self-knowledge, what is revealed is that life is not personal but a universal movement, vast in scale that transcends any moral considerations yet operates with integrity and sureness of purpose. What is seen with pristine clarity is that as I perceive the world is how it appears in the actuality of my life. In other words, I create and take with me in the days and years of the life what I value and release any excessive force that would hamper the journey through existence. I willingly surrender the right to hold onto what has been as any conflict with the ongoing harmony of love and truth as my immediate reality.

 

The Restoration of Love

Man’s spiritual function is to conserve love, whereas woman’s role is to preserve her original nature of love in existence. Man conserves his finest energies when he is engaged in his true purpose of life – which is to love woman, his mate. Such a man pauses frequently between his activities in the world to give thanks inwardly for the privilege of being able to love a greater reality than his personal self. He has the knowledge of his past transgressions and what he has done and been in his years of unconscious living, but does not judge his actions. Every man, regardless of his present state of consciousness, has taken and contributed to the degradation of woman in one way or another. He has done this by using her as a sexual spittoon and defiling her beauty as an object to possess and control, rather than to simply love. Until a man has begun to address this aspect of his sexual self he will be unable to conserve love in a way that transforms himself and restores his woman to her original beauty.

Woman preserves her true nature by being what she is as the principle of love in existence. But in these times, love struggles to retain a presence in the world for long since woman has abdicated her power to a large extent and now replicates man in his competitive and projective existence. Woman assumes she is being progressive and emboldened in being president of a nation, CEO of a multinational or beating an opponent with her fists in the boxing ring. But what she doesn’t realise is that woman has been duped by man who is standing in the shadows sniggering with his chums and looking on with hearty satisfaction. With the greatest relief, he no longer has to conserve love but can dip into the pleasure pot of sex whenever the desire arises to experience only a pale replica of divine love during the physical exchange in the flesh.

In his active role on earth, a man inspired to serve ‘She’, the female principle of love, shields her from the forces of the world to offset the negative energies of the human condition. He does this in the first instance by voluntarily and selflessly absorbing the tensions and anxieties of his woman through his penis in physical lovemaking.  Without man’s love, a woman’s psyche becomes hard and she gradually loses feeling in her vagina – and then becomes vulnerable to the external stimulus and distractions in the world. Inexorably, she is pulled out to join man in his pursuit of experience and can no longer preserve love in its purity of being.

And yet all is perfectly orchestrated in this fleeting life that is merely a porthole into something infinitely more vast and enduring. Man is magnificent when aligned with his noble cause, which is to be the passion of love in his active role of masculine virtue. Woman gives man purpose to his life, which is the divine authority to love her in a way that takes her back to God the Father of Lights. In this, man is the cosmic conserver and woman the divine preserver, each forever compelled to bring more love into  existence.

 

The Eternal Struggle

 The eternal struggle of existence is between the unconscious force and spiritual purity in matter. In human beings this is typically experienced as the endeavour to retain a conscious presence when stimulated or provoked by emotional energy. An example is when lovers habitually enter a trancelike state of personal pleasure independent of the other. This has the effect of strengthening the unconscious connection with the unresolved emotions of the past. Furthermore, this unconscious action attaches the person at a deeper level to the heightened feelings and desire to repeat the experience, regardless of the price in human misery.

The emotional self is sustained by the energy of the unconscious when allowed to shape and influence the life of the person. Most people lend themselves to this type of psychic possession while engaged in an emotional way of life. Because it’s so commonplace, most people in the world operate well below their potential as spiritual beings – and consequently act and demonstrate their knowledge of life in ways that frequently involve conflict and pain. The struggle endures until, through grace, the individual has suffered enough to begin to enquire as to why such a condition continues to afflict the living life.

When the attention turns inwards it is looking through the subconscious to the unconscious – the next level down. At first, the effect is startling to the emotional self. Blinded by the sudden inrush of light, the self withdraws deeper into its underworld and, in so doing, creates a temporary vacuum of purified space. This is registered as inner clarity with an enhanced perception of life and is typical of many spiritual awakenings. But this is simply the beginning of the eternal struggle now being undertaken at the conscious level of mind.

From now on the individual will live in a different way than before. He or she will be engaged in a life that takes on a new meaning, with events and circumstances unfolding in ways that bring the individual to a higher state of consciousness and appreciation of love in existence.

 

Facing the Concept of Death

 Eventually in the process of self-dissolution, the individual reaches a point of bewilderment when, spiritually moribund, they see they are in effect going nowhere. The weight of unresolved emotional baggage appears as heavy as in the beginning of the great change of life. Feeling worthless and profaned by the reflection of the sordidness of the world, the person hovers on the edge of despair and depression. At this moment they are closer to God, reality and freedom than ever before.

What has happened is that the body of self (which is the sum total of unhappiness and pain gathered since birth) has now withdrawn to the extremity of the subconscious level of mind.  Shrunken by the transformation of its negative content over many years of living a more conscious life, the self fighting for its survival summons its remaining force of resistance. Expanding its mass, the self obscures the psychic portal through which the light of consciousness emanates its divine reflection of truth. The effect is as if the power of electricity has suddenly been cut off and the room plunged into darkness. The man or woman is similarly plunged into an abyss of uncertainty and confusion.

This period of extreme psychological pressure lasts as long as is necessary to contain and pass through the last vestige of self to the extremity of the subconscious – the guardian level to the unconscious and the introduction to death at the conscious level of mind. Synonymous with the state is the knowledge of immortality, which releases the attachment to the fear of death. This magnifies the purity of space through which existence is now perceived with a finer discernment and appreciation of the beauty of life in its myriad forms.

 

The Purity of Prayer

To understand the need for prayer it’s helpful to know how and why prayer originated in the evolution of humanity. Originally there was no need for prayer. The purity of space within the psyche kept any negative energy on the perimeter of mind which was then unable to corrupt or distort the perception of life; this kept man and woman in intimate connection with their spiritual godhead for many eons. Eventually, the power to retain the state waned and in its place came the need for supplicatory prayer to retain some kind of formal connection with the divine.

When someone realises the truth at the octave of divine consciousness, the forces of existence (the psychic energies of unresolved past of humanity) exert immense pressure to enter the state. However, should the peace of mind waver, the perception temporarily extends further out into time and space to repel the forces that threaten to invade. The intelligence, or I point, is then able to reflect back as gratitude and love, either silently or externally through the voice, as a devotional utterance to the source of spiritual light. This conscious action of worship to the most high magnifies the purity of space and repels any negative interference, such as emotional pressure to become identified with impressions and traumas from the past.

Being present without thought conveys more than can be uttered through the most devotional prayer. This is because to be attuned with the stillness of mind is itself a living demonstration of humility and unity as the presence of the purity of spirit. But to remain in this state in our times necessitates transcending the conventional way of worship. This is because the religious idea has formulated as a structure within the human psyche and permeates each of us (even at an unconscious level) and forms a psychological barrier to the simplicity of truth. The need for supplicatory prayer is eventually superseded and becomes a spontaneous expression of gratitude in the joy and delight of life.

 

I Am

I am the timeless one reflected in time. I declare my own reality through various portholes of light, the true nature of the spirit. I am the foreground upon which all things appear and the background that sustains life between each frame of existence. As the person or self is eroded, the greater my light shines through the matter. My creation passes through me to become something I am not, which does not upset my equilibrium. I simply am what I am and whatever happens is an expression of my love in its manifold guises.

My light sweeps the psyche looking for suitable vehicles in which to enter existence more fully. Love is the medium of the spirit in existence. I love Thee to such an extent to have created a paradise on earth in which to love and flourish. I have never left Thee; man and woman left me. The difficulty arises when the external projection is seen in isolation of the formless state behind the body. Time is speeding up allowing me to enter more bodies more profoundly than was possible before. I am spirit; I am no thing but all things. Who will speak for me but man and woman born of flesh and blood, once of stone now made in the strands of a finer cloth.

 

Acceptance

Sometimes it may appear impossible to accept life’s adjudication, particularly in situations that have irrevocably changed the life. The truth is that I, the intelligence within every body, am creating the circumstances necessary to bring about a higher state of consciousness. Regardless of what may or may not have happened, when someone truly accepts their life without compromising their integrity, they can then reside for increasingly longer periods in an inner state of peace. This is the spiritual significance of being responsible for life now and at any moment. Until this climacteric point is reached, the person (which is everyone on earth who has yet to realise the purpose of existence) will make excuses for perpetuating their own human condition of unhappiness and discontent.

How does someone know that they are in a conscious state of acceptance and have truly let go of any anger or resentment towards another or something that has affected the harmony of their life? And the answer is that they never think or are troubled emotionally about that person, trauma or event ever again. Through invoking the cleansing power of the spirit, which operates in the present as every new moment, the wounds and scars that bled deep within the flesh are healed. Remarkably, what remains is the realisation that everything valiantly undergone has contributed to the virtue of the life. Furthermore, when looking into the mirror of the world, despite the appalling appearance of a civilisation in decline, there is now the knowledge that all is well and in harmony with the cosmic reality of the whole.

 

Inner Space

The main barrier to the pure perception of life is inner space. From the perspective of reality, inner space is external space – only a refined version within a different environment. Self-enquiry when focused on the feeling psychic space, distorts the direct experience of sensory life.

When the external side of existence is seen without interpretation, the perception of the world provides the true picture of the immediate transmission of reality. Then, the other side of existence (which is nothing) unites as the totality of life.

 

 Now On – and Now Off

The spiritual process of transformation is the conversion within the psychic space of the body of past time into the octave of the present. What happens at various stages is that the body consciousness reaches the equivalent of a time change from the slow time gradient of self-reflective intelligence to the immediacy of the moment. This is the ‘now on’ as the direct transmission of reality.

The state is registered as inner clarity and enhanced depth of perception that is continually being renewed in the absence of inner constrictions, such as self-doubt or anxiety. Often, to the dismay of the individual, the state is only fleeting and the normal mode of perception returns as the now operating at reduced potency.

But it’s not to be dismayed because the ‘now on’ and the ‘now off’ is the way in which the psycho/spiritual system prepares for the climacteric shift that brings about the unalterable state of being – the now as the uninterrupted participation with life as a whole.

 

How to go beyond feelings in a partnership?

In normal relationships where we all gather experience, the predominant mode of intelligence is feeling. Love is not a feeling but the original state of being. Feelings are interpretations of existence and not the direct experience of life and love. Usually it’s only occasionally that lovers are truly present as an absence of thought or imagination, either together or making love. But when this happens, the immediacy of the moment is quickly overwhelmed by the feelings of love for each other and of the pleasure of the sensual exchange. From feelings arise the personal attachments which have their basis in fear, sentimentality and dishonesty – which is a definition of personal love.

When partners are mature and real enough to endeavour to make love more conscious, there has to be sense of a greater purpose of why they are together. They must be vigilant and searingly honest to point out to each other in the moment should any emotional disturbance arise and come between them. But this has to be pointed out in love and not accusation. Any withholding of this due to fear of an emotional reaction in the other is another example of personal love, and the consideration of their feelings rather than serving the principle of love itself. In other words, they begin to serve a higher love, not governed by feelings but the next level up, which is serving the principle of impersonal love.

As partners persevere in simply making love as two bodies in the innocence of each other’s presence, the attachment as personal love is gradually transcended. The man’s personal love of his woman becomes broader to encompass the love of the impersonal divine principle of She, deep within every woman on earth. At this stage of the transformation of his sexual self the man is not looking to get anything for his self; the benediction of love is in the discovered purpose of his actions and life.

When a woman with whom he’s in partnership is loved in intimacy and affection by such a man, she begins to emanate a sense of the indefinable beauty of She. The woman knows as pure knowledge that her true nature is being honoured and recognised by her divine lover in existence. When a woman is loved rightly she no longer doubts herself, and the man emits a greater authority in love and in his existential life. In time, both partners are divested of the personal attachments in their relationships, not only to one another but to family members and friends. This can be extremely painful and demanding as a process of transformation (as anyone who’s had to be true to love will know). But through the devotion to love of the Most High and each other, they immortalise their love in the flesh through the virtue of the love made in existence.

 

Alone am I, yet accompanied by love as facets of my manifold self in existence. I contain each world of my spiral staircase, with each realm in ascending order a finer version of my mystery behind the projected sensory world. I am the one and only appearing as the many. Each living organism is contained in me, some brighter than others in varying states of consciousness. Time lived on earth is the becoming of who I am in the sensory body. When time is up, all is restored to the timeless state of love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing is certain in the creative process. Everyone alive has the incipient knowledge of the immortal state, but the impulse to realise the truth as a conscious state of being is rare indeed. The individuals who do so are not special or ‘chosen’ but when nudged by the spirit to return home respond with an unswerving resolve and willingness to unite with the source of their inspiration.

 

 

 

It’s often said that an artist, writer or designer who creates something unique and outstanding must have a great imagination. But is this really the case? No imagination is necessary when immersed in the total absorption of the creative act itself. Before any creative work begins there has to be an idea. An idea is complete unto itself with no need for embellishment. To the degree that an artist, or anyone, is able to replicate an idea in its pristine state in the world, the greater the originality in any creative work. With a still mind, he or she is in a state of receptivity to the well of inspiration within the body. When this focus of perception is applied as a way of life to encompass the whole living experience, it’s then possible to tap into a unique pool of creativity that is the energetic idea behind each body sustaining the living life.
