YOU

Qin

Today I would like to write about an interesting “simulation game”.
This game is very similar to another role playing game called SIMS 2. The difference is that YOU will be playing multiple roles at once.

Before playing this game, YOU are formless, which means YOU do not have a physical body. Therefore YOU need a “medium” to play the simulation game.

To start the game YOU carefully choose a “character” and plan his role in the big game. YOU look around in the game matrix to find a suitable family for this character. Since YOU are curious to learn about this game, YOU also set a “mission” or several missions for the role so that YOU will experience certain events through this role. Sometimes YOU can set a mission for the role to cause certain events in the game to happen.

Once YOU have done all the settings, YOU “incarnate” into the baby of the family that YOU have chosen. Now YOU have a “body” to play the role in this game. Let’s label this new born baby as YOUR “extension” since he is literally an extension of YOU in this game.

Since YOU are playing multiple characters in this game, YOU will be controlling many “extensions” in the game.

Time flies…. Woosshhhh

Some of your extensions are now adults. Their lives are getting interesting and YOU just sit back and watch things happen. YOU, as a consciousness, are controlling YOUR extension with YOUR will. Whenever YOU wish an extension to move about, YOU will YOUR extension to do so. YOUR extension will get a “gut feeling” and move according to YOUR will.

Sometimes it is not easy to “tell” YOUR extension what to do as they can be very stubborn. Let’s say that one of YOUR extensions is called Jason. One day Jason is walking back home from college. YOU notice that there are many fierce puppies roaming around the road. They could probably hurt Jason seriously. Jason does not know about the puppies since he didn’t sense the presence of these blood thirsty beasts. YOU tried to warm him about the danger by sending some “wave message” to him.

Jason got YOUR warning. He felt uncomfortable in his heart and stomach. However, his ego causes him to think that he shouldn’t detour just to save time. He thinks and analyses too much and decides to walk the path he used to walk.
AAAAUUUCHHH!!! Too bad Jason got bitten by those cute, blood thirsty puppies and he is bedridden in hospital for a week. From this event he learned his lesson.

Well, sometimes YOU might feel that YOUR extensions are so stubborn to listen to your warnings and hints, which might annoy both parties. YOU know that YOU and YOUR extensions should cooperate well to play the game smoothly.
Now let us use a bit of extended imagination….

Let’s say that Jason, Tom and Lisa are YOUR extensions. One of their “missions” in life is to meet each other and become good friends. YOU carefully choose to incarnate them in the same residential area. One day you manifest an event that interest these three extensions, let’s say a party. YOU will YOUR extensions to walk to each other and YOU will them to have interest to talk to each other, They break the ice and become friends. Congrates, YOU have accomplished something in the game! That is how everything works

(Dear readers, try to imagine you are the will of a few people and imagine willing them to walk to each other and greet each other… or setting events so that YOUR extensions will meet each other. Imagine as clear as possible as if YOU are controlling several consciousness at once)

Jason, Tom and Lisa always hang out together. They always chat online too. They ARE actually the same, which are actually YOU, but due to their “illusionary perception” they thought they are just separated individuals…. It must be fun for YOU to play them without them to notice that they are actually the same

Well, let’s say that I am also a game player, and YOU and I are in the game of another game, and there is another BIGGER YOU playing YOU and I as extension… and this BIGGER YOU is the extension of another BIGGER YOU.. This goes right up to THE BIGGEST YOU, the Will, or consciousness of all consciousness… Some people call this BIGGEST YOU as God, others prefer to label him as universal super consciousness, or whatever bombastic names. However, YOU and I know that there is no separation between both of US and we are just the extension of THE BIGGEST YOU. Too bad OUR extensions on planet earth still live in the illusions, thinking that every extension is separated from each other…

* * * * *

YOU actually love YOUR extensions. They are cute little people under YOUR care to play their role in the illusionary world. YOU actually hope that YOUR extensions will start to know YOU, say hello to YOU or talk to YOU. Well, if YOU love your “creations” so much that YOU will help them in their path, and if they turn to YOU and request something from YOU, I believe YOU will help them to grant their desire right? Too bad after playing the game for a long time, many extensions still never get to know YOU. They are still living in their illusionary world, worrying about their assignments and work. You can’t really blame them right? Look at Jason, he is listening to his egos all the time and he is playing Britney Spear’s crappy songs respectively all the time in his mental ear. With such low awareness, don’t YOU think it is difficult for him to notice YOU? He needs to put effort to look deep into himself!

If these extensions want to manifest the lives that they want, or grow spiritually, they need to look deep into themselves and get to know YOU!

YOU want to help them, so YOU come to ME.

I have a wise extension called Prophy. Prophy always listen and connect to ME and I always help him to fulfill his desires. I know Prophy can help YOUR stubborn extension, Jason in his mission to connect to YOU. So YOU and I have made an agreement to let Jason learn spiritually under Prophy. Both of us manifest a situation and let Prophy and Jason meet somewhere….

Prophy and Jason chatted for a long time. Jason was deeply inspired by Prophy. He learns a lot about reality manifestation from Prophy and improves very fast. Under Prophy’s teaching, Jason meditates and stays away from TV and movies. He learns to face his egos and lower emotions like fear and hatred. Prophy teaches Jason to increase his awareness and to get to know YOU. In their world, WE are being called “higher selves” or “souls”, what a weird name for US.

To get to know his “higher self”, Jason learns that his physical body, personality, mental chatter, rubbish memories etc. are not the real him (YOU). He let go his ego and mental thinking, and sinks deep. He stays in the now and feel aware. He feels so calm, crystal clear and suddenly he feels a Zen like realization. He “sees” a big pool of universal consciousness, connected to everything, spaceless and formless. Yes, finally YOUR extension sees YOU. He is waving his hands at YOU…. Wow man, YOU got really excited. Finally YOUR extension has successfully known YOU!

Now Jason feels connected to YOU. He realized that connecting to YOU helps him in fulfilling his wishes. YOU help him in tackling various issues. For example, whenever Jason faces his exam, he let YOU know his problems and desire to do well in exam.

He let YOU know the outcome he desired by imagining the result vividly. He let YOU know more by feeling (emotion) the success of doing well in his future exam. He confirms his desire by having the will of doing well in his exam. He “faxed” this information to YOU in a clean, tidy, clearly described form. Since YOU know exactly what Jason wants, YOU set up various situations where Jason will be successful in his exam. YOU arrange other smart extensions to help him along the way. YOU arrange various events that are not expected by Jason. YOU nourish Jason’s physical body to keep him healthy. YOU let Jason “feel” the questions that might come out in the exam, so that Jason knows which chapter should be learned more. In the end of the day, Jason did very well in his exam. He thanked YOU with gratitude.

Years later, Jason falls in love with Jenny, who is a very pretty girl, who happens to be MY extension. Jason tries to gain Jenny’s heart but failed at many attempts. He asked Prophy for advice. Prophy told him to talk to ME, saying that if I allow Jenny to be his, then they will become a loving couple. Jason asks ME to grant his wish, so I manifest a situation for them to meet and I let Jenny pay closer attention to Jason. Politely Jason talks to her and ask her out. Jenny does not know why she was so turned on by Jason. Finally, they become happy couple 

Years later Jason decides to develop spiritually. He decides to get to know YOU, and also THE BIGGEST YOU. He realizes that he has to overcome the illusions that make him perceive himself as separated from all living beings. First he has to overcome his lower emotions, especially fear and ego. He needs to overcome the mundane entertainment memories that keep droning in his mind. He can’t “see” YOU if he is seeing naked ladies and listening to Britney Spears all the time right? By embracing higher emotions like love and compassion, Jason gains spiritual awareness. With a calm mind and a loving, opened heart, he sees YOU and he realized that YOU or the BIGGEST YOU is always with him. He clearly realizes that everyone in this world is just extensions of THE BIGGEST YOU.

THE BIGGEST YOU is actually “inside” “Jason”.

People, who seek inwards, will finally get to know YOU!

Game over….

Sequel: YOU 2

 

Prophageus is guest-blogging for today’s entry.
Enjoy

Realization is when you have something that you get a sense is there, but aren’t quite sure about, and you finally become fully aware of it being ‘reality’ or definite.

So, as an example, let’s say your intuition tells you that someone is lying to you. You get a sense that they are lying, but you have no fact to back it up, once your mind figures out that they are by piecing together the puzzle pieces or you acquire more factual evidence that they are you then realize that in fact they were lying to you. And, this is a good example, cause ppl tell ‘little white lies’ all day everyday. Some ppl do it for a living.

We all have maps of the world, a useful term from the practice of NLP, and these maps aren’t static. They change as we gather more information. In our early life, our map is set by what we observe through our senses, and also through what we’re allowed to observe by our environmental controls(parents, teachers, etc.). It is also created by how we piece things together, and we all piece things together in different ways. So, if you imagine all the tiny little variables that go into making someone’s map, you can come to the realization that that is what makes us all seem so ‘individual’. My map has a red dot where your map has a blue dot. :O

So, when it comes to important life-changing realizations, how do you think they happen?

Right. New information is presented that fits into the puzzle picture your mind is trying to create, even if it conflicts with a current piece that ’seems’ to fit, so your mind chooses the new piece and ditches the old one. Then a little light bulb lights up in your head, and you go “AHA!”, and then you’re all giddy like a schoolgirl at christmas time.

So, let’s make some practical use of this.

We know we have Will. We know we make our own choices. We know that our choices create endless variables. We know that we’re constantly ‘changing’. But, are we really changing? Or are we just adjusting our perspective? Example: You’re looking at one of those pictures that has a hidden picture. You look at it all day, see nothing but a bunch of odd pattern, even though you know ppl say there’s supposedly a picture of a pirate ship in there somewhere. So, when you finally switch your gaze to looking through the picture, instead of at it, your eyes focus in such a way as to show the picture. Now, it might ’seem’ that your life just changed, cause now you can see the picture. But, really, the picture is the same. You just finally switched to a way of percieving things that allowed you to experience/see something you hadn’t before. SO, it ’seems’ new, but nothing really changed inside you.

So, how do we make practical use of the fact that we have Will, and that we can realize things? The first step would be to make the choice to allow yourself to maybe see things differently than you’ve been seeing them. How many different ways are there to look at something? Ask yourself that, honestly. Pick any random thing, person, place, object, idea, anything. And, ask yourself, how many different ways are there of looking at this?

Remember, it takes new information to change the puzzle’s picture. Right now, all our pictures look like random thrown together 2 year old paintings slopped onto paper. HAHA, with missing sections, and supposed chaos. When we learn to look at things from different perspectives, then we can rearrange the picture, and maybe we can actually see what the 2 year old saw and was trying to create. Some of us have started to build pretty pictures, and they’re taking shape, none are complete.. but some are clear enough that we can see what the artist is trying to show us.

So, Make a Choice, to realize. Realization is fun, useful, ninjarific, and it only boils at a temperature of 1 degree!

Here’s an analogy.

When a wheel spins.
we see it spinning.
When it spins very fast
we see it as if it is still.

The wheel is moving
at the same time it can be still
as perceived.

In our world,
things that are still are actually moving as well.
The earth is spinning fast at the same time it orbits around the sun,
making everything on earth “moves” very fast with it.
So are we really still or in motion?
Many people perceive themself as being static on earth
despite they are moving faster than a moving sports car (refer to relative motion).

Everything has two extremes
even though we only perceive one side of it.
Fractals are parts of the spectrum.

This is the same as good and evil, hot and cold, high and low
If you learn Physics, you will know that everything is made of wave-particles.
They are just the spectra of Ying and Yang.

The extremes we perceive are illusionary labels.
Wise people see beyond extremes
as they know the true form behind everything is the same.

Fractals and extremes that appear different are just parts of the whole spectrum.

Pure love is unconditional because it is beyond extremes.
It blesses the whole spectrum, including good and evil.

Separation creates more illusions to the whole.
Unification is the way to go beyond extremes.

Labels and words are like fingers that point towards the moon.
They are not the moon themselves.

Instead of debating and judging the fingers ( labels )
It is much better to observe and realise the moon ( truth ).

Choose to let go the attachment towards the labels.

Religion is just belief system.
If you take the teachings literally
you will be limited by it.

Personally when come to religion,
I go for realisation of the teachings instead of intellectual analising and debating.
Realising is about observing and knowing
not talking and debating
as talking and debating only make you run in circles and realise nothing at all
it makes simple things complicated.

I am born as a Buddhist
but I do not attach myself strictly to Buddhism
nor I label and affirm myself to be in any belief system.

I take my religion as a guide to my realisation and self discovery
and I do not limit myself to its teachings.

Even in Buddhism
Buddhists are taught to let go labels and attachment.
There is a Buddhist teaching saying that when you reach the stage of realisation and enlightenment,
you let go all teachings and labels and live freely.
That is the essence of Buddhism.

Realisation, choosing consciously and letting go are my ways of life.

Many people make the assumption that the physical body is just a “thing”.
It is nothing more than a physical part of them.
When they get sick they just pump medicine and drugs into their body and let the medicine do their work.

People should realise that physical body is beyond a “thing” or a “tool”
it has “intelligence”
(unless you assume intelligent beings are only those that have brain and can score well in maths )
it “knows” how to function.
Scientists have observed how our physical bodies work intelligently.
Animals and humans can evolve automatically to its surrounding for various purposes like being immune to certain substance or protecting themselves from predator.
Two examples are how super-pathogen is evolved and how human body become immune to lead (centuries ago the air is completely free from lead and it is very poisonous to people at the time)

There are reasons why ancient people stress on body-mind relationship.
At times we need to “communicate” with our physical bodies,
not just tossing medicines and drugs into it and expect it to work like a machine

Ancient people keep themselves healthy by understanding their bodies and communicate with them.
The ancient Chinese and Yogis know that they can keep their bodies functioning well by controlling the flow of energy in their bodies with their mind.

Besides energy flow,
emotions are important in our health too.

Ancient Chinese know that our organs are associated with certain emotions and having extreme emotions will harm them.
Even skeptics who do not believe in alternative medicine have to succumb to the fact that our emotions can trigger certain chemicals in our bodies to create certain outcome.
There are medical proofs to show that negative emotions like fear and anger cause the body to release toxin. Some people look very old or wore off at young age because their mental state is harmful to their bodies.

To stay healthy,
it is important that we live in the natural flow and live in the NOW.

Realise that your body is not a machine. It is intelligent in its own way.
Even a cell in your body is powerful because a cell has the potential to become a complete organism.

We can “communicate” with our bodies with various methods.
Such communication is important to be healthy as mind and body are coexistence and they cannot function well if they are kept separated.
Will, Imaginations and Emotions are three important ways to do so.
I shall write about these 3 aspects (WIE) on my following posts.

Eat when you are hungry,
Sleep when you are tired,

By doing things naturally,
You are letting the flow of life flows.

Eat when you are full,
Work when are tired,
You are going against the natural flow.

Many people are living in chaotic lives.

People need to realise that we need to live smoothly,
living a harsh life will bring problems to us mentally and physically.
Without smooth flow in life, we will get “stuck” in the loops of life
and it will be hard for us to move on.

Sometimes when we need to let go, just let go…
Choose to let go, and let the flow of life flows…

Wise people know that attachment is the source of suffering.

When we are attached to something,
we suffer from feeling bad when we lose it.
Outer events can manipulate the inner feelings of people who are attached to certain things.

Some people who choose to dwell in past memories are said to be attaching to past events. They just choose not to let go…..

Realise that events, pasts and everything that exist around us are just illusion.
When we extent the time frame to infinity,
there will be no event that really matters, as events are just temporary.

For example,
if you feel sad when you lose 50 dollars.
such an event is insignificant after 30 years, 60 years, a lifetime, millennia.
It has a beginning, and it will reach its end.

So realise that events are illusions that exist temporary
and choose not to adhere to them.
Choose to let go and be free.
