COME BACK HOME

Most people are all about what they're hiding -- from themselves and others. They are imprisoned and governed by their secrets. What they try to keep hidden changes their psyche, their attitudes and even their biology. Regardless of their position, they have no intrinsic authority. They become disempowered and dis-eased.

People who are openly all that they are, are free – free and empowered to go where they want and do whatever inspires them! Regardless of their position in society, they have authority in life.

Author Murdo McBein wrote in “Beyond the Himalayas” -- Understand all that you're using to hide what's real. Understand what your mind is made up of, and its repetitive patterns. Catching the thoughts and feelings that arise in your Awareness is the road to Freedom.

 

Most people look and listen casually and only hear what is “relevant” to their hidden programming. Communication difficulties happen because people interpret what they “hear” as it is filtered and focused by their faulty operating systems. To use Microsoft verbiage, they reject as an “unknown file” anything that threatens to penetrate or disturb their existing cocoon of conditioning, opinions, beliefs, or theories. Just like Microsoft – anything not recognised as within its control is regarded as a threat, and is refused entry into the system.

There is no art to listen to everything without prejudice, without putting up defences to protect our ignorance and the stuff we want to hide. But listening (as distinct from just hearing) has to be practiced. So does integrity. For most people, the only way they will publicly air their negative self-beliefs is to pin them on “others”, and throw stones at them. And that seems to be a bigger national pastime than football, cricket or netball.

No matter how well hidden, our secret stuff will never free us or invest us with any authority. Only The Truth will set us free. And truth is only found in the emptiful silence of no-thing. 

 

The truth of any matter can never be received by a hiding mind. Come out into the open. An open mind can receive and deliver the messages from and to Awareness, and that is the mind's proper function. The messenger is not the message, nor can the medium actually see/hear, nor can it be the message. Only open Awareness (to whom the message is addressed, by the way) can register it, undistorted by censorship or judgment. So bust your ego back to the mailroom, and return to the author's chair. Come home to what you have always been -- the the innocent Awareness  -- The First for which there is no second.
