Fear Fuelled Awakening.

"Need is the Mother of Invention. Desperation is the Father of Creativity."

The path that leads to heaven

When they asked Abbot Antonio if the path of sacrifice led to heaven, he answered:

- There are two paths of sacrifice. The first is taken by the man who mortifies the flesh and pays penance because he believes that we are condemned. The man who follows this path feels guilty and judges himself unworthy of living happily.

- The second path is taken by the man who, even though he knows that the world is not as perfect as we would like, prays, does penance and offers up his time and toil to improve the world around him. So he understands that the word sacrifice comes from Sacro OfĂ­cio, Holy Work. In this case the Divine Presence helps him all the time and he obtains results in heaven."


Breakdown. The Awakening.

That the World is not what it appears to be, is something all Religions have insisted upon.
Something that Myths have hinted at, and something that Science has finally established in this last Century, beyond all reasonable, or even unreasonable, doubt.

That perhaps the entire Western Civilization is playing the game of consensus reality whether they are aware of it or not.
And are playing by rules which they neither invented, nor even consciously agreed to.
In most cases, in fact, we are grossly unaware that such rules even exist.

"We are caught in the 'superstition of materialism'...the Hypnosis of Social Conditioning." ~ Dr.Deepak Chopra

Oddly enough, the ‘Matrix’ of consensus reality has been set up in such a way that it is necessary to first understand the rules before you can begin changing, bending,warping or breaking them.

An Option which the vast majority of humans never become aware of...

::::GROUPTHINK::::

Groupthink is a type of thought exhibited by group members who try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing, and evaluating ideas.

Individual creativity, uniqueness, and independent thinking are lost in the pursuit of Group cohesiveness, as are the advantages of reasonable balance in choice and thought that might normally be obtained by making decisions as a Group.

During Groupthink , members of the group avoid promoting viewpoints outside the comfort zone of Consensus thinking.

A variety of motives for this may exist such as a desire to avoid being seen as foolish, or a desire to avoid embarrassing or angering other members of the group.

Groupthink may cause groups to make hasty, irrational decisions, where individual doubts are set aside, for fear of upsetting the groups balance.

The term is frequently used pejoratively, with hindsight...

Who would you be if you knew no Limits?

Who would you be if you knew you could not fail?

Who would you be if everything was possible, and nothing was impossible?

Who would you Be...If You were Fearless?


Almost everything we know argues...that Living powerfully is accomplished by skillfully building on the past.
We learn, expand, grow, building on our experiences, our education, our upbringing, our successes and failures.
We tend to look at what we do to determine who we are.

How we Perform in the present and what we see as possible in the future, then, are largely determined by how effectively we build on the past.
This Idea of building on the foundation of the past is so fundamental to our Thinking, that we can hardly imagine a reality Different from the Past...

Suppose, However...that Living Powerfully - Living an Extraordinary Life - works in Exactly the Opposite Way.
Suppose that the Possibilities available to us Today... are not those given by our past, but those given by our Future.

If You could be Free of your Past...Who would you Be?

We all get stuck in our belief systems, however sensible we think they are.
What we believe is not necessarily Real.

And with this in Mind I'd like to have a conversation with you...

Whether we believe in psychic ability, crystal energy, alien abduction, talking to the dead, or Christianity, we are rightly or wrongly buying into a very powerful belief system.

Its all about questioning...
As intelligent human beings we should be prepared to question our Beliefs.

But there are beliefs we are not encouraged to question... and these are often the Beliefs upon which we are asked to make important Life's decisions.
These are the areas where we should test and look for mis-information, because often we are making Life decisions based upon information we are getting from seeming authority figures representing different Religious Belief Systems.
