Out of Necessity, I have made a 'quantum leap' in my mind. I believe I am living in a non-dual replacement mind (ha ha ha… I said replacement mind) or having an Alternate Thinking Perspective of the people around me. No, I am not crazy, but I used to live in an unresourcefully programmed brain/mind and that was crazy. I have also called the Non-Dual Mind, my god mind, my peace mind and my Jesus Mind (I grew up in Christian churches. Many different ones, my parents were not churched and we moved around nearly every year until I was in 5th grade. I was social and always went to church with the neighborhood kids, as young as 5. Jesus is very dear to me. He did it right. Once you realize this new 'operating system' you will see how Jesus had all this figured out and how it is communicated to us. This is all right there in front of us all along. Ahhh…Let's Look at Everything and Use Our New Non-Duality…) There are steps that I can teach to help others find this new paradigm. This is neither 'new age' nor any kind of religion. Buddhist Philosophy (NOT religion) and Quantum Mechanics have been quiet helpful in learning how to be Non-Dual.
The Peace Perspective... War is Arcane
War and Peace are two separate perspectives. We have been trying to make Peace work inside the perspective of War. That is why we tread water. Peace cannot work inside the perspective of War. Peace is a completely different perspective. For our civilization to become Peaceful, it would have to make this 'quantum leap of the mind'; it would have to CHANGE perspectives, or at least find a way to make the non-dual mind easier to get to (I am taking on this challenge, personally… ha ha… it's fun). The non-dual mind does not need a perspective.
The non-dual mind sees what is… which is a far superior place from which to look at… what is going on besides with the human brain/mind, which does not accurately see, hear, smell, feel or know what is. Hello?? We need to comprehend this. Hmmm.
The non-dual mind skips out on all the machinations of the brain/mind. The brain/mind is busy cutting out incoming stimuli so it can cope, or 'interpreting' incoming stimuli so it can 'understand'. How does it do all this to incoming stimuli? It has no hard and fast rules; it is arbitrary (based on whim). Everyone's filters are set up differently, according to preferences that develop in that particular brain/mind. The brain/mind's main function is to keep itself from becoming overwhelmed. 'Truth' cannot be found in the War Perspective because of this.
We can't just back war off a little at a time replacing it with peace. That would seem a way to make it all work. It hasn't worked, look around. We are having World War III right now. War and Peace can't occupy the same space at the same time. This is duality at its finest (or most insidious).
Very few people, including all the wonderful peace folks in my community (who are my inspiration) have the Peace Perspective that I am talking about here. The Peace Perspective includes things like Not Having to Have Things Be a Certain Way, Letting Go of the Outcome, Not Having to Be Right, and Non-Judgment (total non-judgment). The Peace Perspective can be understood and embraced from the non-dual mind. The brain/mind, however, lives in duality, is duality and cannot be otherwise.
This is the ultimate 'thinking outside the box'. The 'box', meaning… the brain/mind.
This new Paradigm needs to catch on. When this Peace Paradigm or Perspective catches on, there will be no war. War will become arcane (hard to fathom) instead of peace. We will have changed perspectives and war will be the mystery. I think this is a very good story, indeed.
We need a word or words for this concept: I don't judge anything right or wrong. I don't make value judgments. I see this from the non-dual perspective, which sees quite clearly, What Is… without making a judgment. When I see the truth of What Is… I won't have a judgment. There is the fundamental difference between the Dual and the Non-Dual, judgment. It doesn't find fault… finding fault or laying blame are a part of the War Perspective and are not resourceful. I had to be strong with myself on these issues… ha ha. The brain/mind always assigns blame and finds fault. The brain/mind believes it has a right to know who is at fault and have that person made responsible. This War Perspective belief is extremely not resourceful.
I can tell you, as a victim of a fair amount of abuse, neglect and other people's judgments, that none of it matters as I live in the non-dual mind. In fact, because of being abused and profoundly mentally ill, I had to find a different way to be sane. I didn't have the option of a fairly well programmed brain/mind. Moreover, reprogramming this brain/mind would take 3 or 4 lifetimes of about 90 years each (just my opinion, I was trying to reprogram my brain/mind when I made the leap and it became less important... but I could already see the futility). I was determined to overcome this dilemma in this lifetime, if it wasn't for the non-dual mind, I would have failed. As far as I am concerned, it has all worked out to my advantage. I had to figure out a way that would be truly resourceful on all levels, macro and micro. If my life was progressing along on an okay path, then I never would have needed to find another way. I am so incredibly blessed to be a victim of abuse and to be mentally ill. Many people will dismiss me because of the mental illness. Oh, well. I want to talk to the people who would do anything for Peace, including changing their minds.
I was in the car talking with my son today about all this. He said, "Do you see these people in the other cars? Do you see these houses that have people living in them? These people don't care about peace. They are living their lives, are happy, and have no concern for peace. We have peace here."
My answer is that none of those people are satisfied and I bet, even they would admit, that their lives are less than Peaceful. I have never met a truly satisfied person and I am in sales. I have met thousands of people. Maybe we are all asleep, but we are going to wake up one way or the other. Why not wake up now? Peace is not here, even in this small and fairly quiet town in USA. Most people are extremely negative about their lives, the people they work with or for, the loan company, the bank, the big discount companies, the local government, the federal government, their spouse, their children, those people who cause war, those people on welfare and the list is endless. We define ourselves by all the people or groups of people around us who aren't as good as we are. Complaining is a national (worldwide?) pastime. How is that Peace? Sure, we may think we live in Peace here in small town USA, but have we turned on our computers or televisions lately? World War III is on and it isn't a sitcom. Does anyone else see this? Am I hallucinating (one thing that, thank bob, didn't happen to me)? The Non-Dual Mind does not hallucinate. Whew. Now I see. I am having clarity. I see how things are. What response would I like to make to how things are? I have made a quantum leap in my thinking. I am running on a new operating system software. Jesus is my new operating system, Jesus makes my decisions. Living in the Non-Dual Mind… the new Windows 7. Things are more resourceful here in the Non-Duality.
The thing is… it doesn't matter if humanity becomes extinct; whatever is will go on being no matter what. So, really, it is all good. I don't have to 'do' anything but I think it would be fun to try to beat the clock on this one. I have let go of the outcome… it will be whatever it is.
Will Someone Give the Voice of Peace a Chance? Will it Be You?
