A flexible mind reflects in the flesh. Right now, here, this very moment you are acutely aware just of how true this is. You will also deny what is Self evident with quite a lot of strength by the time you get done reading this. Why? You’ll find out as we progress.
A baby lies there laughing with a body that seems more elastic than solid. They step into this realm naturally equipped with a flex that yogis spend a lot of time and effort into matching. It doesn’t matter your race, background or spiritual perspective as this is a universal truth which is evident to the Self that questions the nature of this Game we’re playing. The next thread to unravel is “Why does this happen?“. Take a cat, for example, they generally remain as agile as they were since kittens for the vast majority of their existence as they only truly start feeling the limits once they’ve aged to a rate quite immense. Funny story, I had a friend who’d had a furry friend gifted to him back when as the parents believed it would teach their children responsibility and the value of unconditional affection. To say there was an attachment would be an understatement. Anyway, time rolls on as it does and this kid grew to have an interest in, shall we say, various types of pharmaceutical and one day he noted that his cat was not as sprightly as it once was. Looking in the mirror he noticed his muscles rippling and thought about his own regime of steroids, resistance training plus the best foods and supplementation he could get then a light bulb clicked in his head as he started researching feline aging. Yes, he put his cat on a cycle. Perfectly calculated to match its optimal hormone profile and he reported with a smile that it was back to tearing up the streets with boundless energy as he’d started feeding it not what came in a tin with a picture of a kitten but the same as him. The cat lived far longer than expected and was the picture of health and radiance as he slinked around with the agile grace which he knew well.
Some people may be aghast at this experiment but if you were to ask the cat which life and death would it rather live what do you think it would pick? The same thing is what they’re currently pushing for humans when it comes to TRT rejuvenation and the rest, which we’ll consider in another topic. What was interesting was that the inspiration for this experiment was he noticed a shift in the cats gait and range of motion which he intuited related to some kind of impingement in tendons which he first dealt with using a range of peptides (once again, carefully calibrated) and growth hormone releasing agents. Why? Because they’d worked so well for him and he wanted to ensure his four legged friend had the best quality of life he could give so why not use his advanced knowledge of biotech? The results were miraculous as he noticed a spring back in steps and this is what led to the rest of the experiment to create one hench vintage kitten that was currently living his best life thanks to some chemical assistance. If only all owners were so caring, to themselves as well as their animals.
This, in a conversation, got me thinking how modern life is pretty much antithetical to all that is natural as in the wild there is simply no chance to slack and allow the malaise of modern ways to creep in. Neither are there additives or chemical preservatives as you’re eating what you catch and kill therefore its always fresh. Things like this really add up in the long term. Not to mention the stress that comes from spending so much time in an artificial environment with sporadic connection to its own kith and kin when wandering the pavement every now and then. We, like cats, are living lives of immense comfort that are as appealing as they are destructive. Unlike the one in question the Master for most Slaves in this realm cares not about them and actually prefers them suffering as this causes their tills to ring as the profits come in from hurt, bored and stressed people seeking solutions who have been trained to look everywhere but within.
You can tell how effective this deviation from the optimal is by examining your own flesh. Specifically how much it can flex and bend with ease as well as the level of exertion you can display happily without your biomarkers reaching for the skies as you fall to your knees and beg for a reprieve. Note I’m not saying you need a musclebound exoskeleton or as liquid as a pool filled with immortal jellyfish, no both of these extremes are false dichotomies as the former is so rigid that he is entirely disconnected from Self and the later so amorphous that she has no boundaries and limits. The sweet spot is like that of elastic, just like a baby in its crib. The perfect level of resistance to provide traction and growth without hampering progress or examination.
Lets say that ideal is ten out of ten, the standard for which we’re shooting. How do you fare right now, this very instant on that scale of measures? For example, if you’re stiff as a board, can barely tie your laces and are constantly in pain thats a two at best. If you’ve got some nagging aches and pains you’re careful not to stress and the very idea of sitting on the ground cross legged or squatting on your haunches fills you with dread then thats a five at best. An eight would come in and be progressing towards doing the splits and gaining traction on a perfect pancake whilst also having enough strength to walk upon their hands.
Where do you sit, in all of this?
Here is where it gets interesting:
If you take the two, five and eight as mentioned and craft a message about them which is tailored perfectly to their awareness but is quite provocative and designed to invoke a reaction you can predict quite clearly what will happen. Lets imagine all three of them are religious. We have a Muslim, Christian and the last one doesn’t claim an organized faith but state Spiritual as their preference. What they read is this:
“Every single thing you know is wrong and you are the latest Victim in a chain of ignorance and suffering that was handed to your ancestors, way back when, via an agent of the Devil pretending to be God herself. You can easily prove this by considering….”
The rest of the letter then delves into specifics by calling into question various tenets and articles of their faith by dragging them out in the cold light of day and dissecting them with a type of surgery that forces them to consider their concepts from a totally different lens that heavily contradicts what they accept and thus their entire basis for living as defined by the story in their heads that modulates their actions and responses to this realm. We are, if nothing else, meaning machines that create stories in order to make sense of existence. Its why children always ask “Why?” with such insistence as curiosity is the natural drive of Inner Sense. Funny, isn’t it, how this is stubbed out so quickly by parents, teachers and various limbs of the System as you were taught that the key to success is rote repetition. But thats another topic for another discussion.
The Muslim reads the article and barely make it through a couple of sentences as its all so blasphemous. Thing is he is locked in a room where he cannot escape until he gets through to the end. Strapped to him are various machines which measure his responses, electrical resistance and various other biomarkers to evaluate his stress and tension. If his baseline was eighty percent tension it wouldn’t take much provocation to fill him to the brim as his angst starts to spill over the edge of his awareness. He’d yell, scream, call whoever wrote this all kind of infidel. You get the rest of the picture as its not really a stretch to imagine what comes next.
The Christian turns the scroll and finds it simply preposterous and is outraged that someone would dare say such things that go against the good book. His response is not as strong because his tension pot was only on hall full since he was pulled into this room as that was his standard level. As such there is room to maneuver and hidden within the missive he actually finds a point or two worth considering and notes the eloquence with which the message was expressed as he thinks about the motivation of this imperiment and the deeper meaning.
The Spiritual flicks through the pages real quick, raises an eyebrow here or there as well as the occasional grin then settles down to go back through it again with single pointed attention. “Every single thing you know is wrong” they think, starting at the top and noticing how their flesh and mind react to these glyphs printed on paper and the reactions they’re causing. “OK, thats interesting” and toss it to the side for a moment. “What are the basic, fundamental tenets that I view as inviolable and Self evident?” is said as they get up and start pacing around this all white, totally silent room they find themselves in. “I think the world is a beautiful place of learning created by a benevolent force that holds everyones best interests at heart and wishes for all to grow and progress under its radiant guidance” is heard issuing from their lips as they pull the coding of their mind out into the environment to truly ponder its significance. “What is the opposite of this? If all I know is wrong, as the paper posits, then this is a good a place as any to make progress” they think. “OK, so an evil force that hates humanity and delights at its ignorance and suffering is holding our awareness hostage in the flesh by making us believe ludicrous things as we place loads of effort into running on what amounts to a spiritual treadmill. Ha!” is said with a grin. “I can neither confirm nor deny this but it is interesting as you could make a good case that glove does fit. I wonder whats next” issues from amused lips as they pick up the paper and glance at the next sentence:
“You are the latest Victim in a chain of ignorance and suffering that was handed to your ancestors”.
Once again, they go through the same process of examining their precepts then flipping them to see what the text says as they present a case for and against in their heads whilst entertaining a new perspective. This is only possible because their base level of tension has been melted down to around twenty percent and thus their mind contains a level of resonance far closer to Inner Sense than the rest which manifests in their ease of movement and ability to consider something so proactive without an excessively emotional reaction. They instead create their response by using the space they find within as room for potential that can shift perspectives. This is true freedom and why I said that a flexible mind reflects in the flesh. Its also why most will deny this so lets switch metaphors for a moment:
Imagine all three have notepads within which to create art and express themselves. The flexible Spiritual has totally blank pages and 8 pencils with which to create whatever they wish. The Christian has a series of dot to dot images already etched on the page for them to connect as proscribed to create the defined image using the five shades of red their pencils offer them. The Muslims pages, however, have thick outlines of pictures which are held as sacrosanct traditions that must not be altered or tampered in any way. They have but one black pencil and strict instructions to color in within the lines as instructed or face intense punishment for their transgression. With that in mind whose flesh do you think would have the most flex if they were all carrying around these precepts as the way it is in their biological operating system? Now lets imagine that these concepts manifest as tension Patterns that run through the hips, spine, neck and the rest. This is why the one at an eighty percent state of Inner Sense can approach the topic with a disconnected sense of amusement that is open to the thought imperiment whereas the one who sits at a twenty percent level, at best, of their original being would react with a sense of agitation and threat as they feel their very concept of self was under threat by such blasphemous messages.
Now before any of the Islamic faith start feeling some kind of way about what I’ve said I’d like to point out that the very tenets of the religion and various cultural aspects generate a daily level of exercise in praying which gifts a certain type of flex as well as things like squatting being far more common than they are in the West. I’d also like to point out that the yogi Spiritual in this example can often be selling a dream to others and themselves as they may be able to do the splits and have spent time in an ashram whilst putting in work to learn the movements as the swim through a haze of joss sticks and have all kinds of Eastern symbols tattooed on their flesh to signal how elevated they are they’re often full of it as they are still the same old mess they were before they went off on a journey to “find themselves” and culture vultured a new identity by using a diluted mishmash of old traditions. Like I said, this is a thought imperiment and you will deny what is Self evident in this message as the glyphs hit your awareness.
Physical impingement and mental freedom in that sense is a very basic rendering of a supremely complex concept. Back when before modern civilization was a thing the way a seeker would train an adept to refine their sense of perception was having them gaze out onto the night sky and focus their attention upon a distant star. Some would lock on quick, others would need more patience but once they had demonstrated that they could spot the flickering and shifts with a level of precision they would then be told to totally ignore it. It was actually a distraction to refine their gaze as the one they should notice is far dimmer, much smaller and far harder to Witness in the sky as its right next to it.
This is, in effect, the alchemical process that changes the devolved and leaden state of awareness most sport in this realm back to its golden point of origin and full, multidimensional resonance as there was far more to this training than was seen on the surface and why it took a lifetime just to grasp the basics. But that was a previous stage and we are currently playing one harder yet in which most are entirely disconnected form themselves and just as equally invested in the illusion that propagates their confusion.
Taking it back to the white room thought imperiment in which the Muslim, Christian and Spiritual sat there is a thread that runs through these three traditions that was reviled back when as heretic, infidel or tool of the Devil himself. Muslims called them Sufi, Christians Gnostic and the Spiritual say they’re Mystics. All three have their own interpretation of the framework or tradition that they inherited then turned into something quite different that was based upon their imperience and direct perception of the unfinite within them. One thing that is common to all of them who managed to shake off the chains of ignorance that kept them once step removed from their own awareness was the melting of what I call the Pane Body as this step is so vital. We’ll go into in depth as we progress but for now consider this:
Your skin is a traveling bag of your existence and in that respect it contains every thought, feeling and reaction – consciously examined or buried in repression – you’ve ever had or not allowed yourself to think. All the times you felt enraged by your parents as children (which the Muslim would never dare act out due to the immense levels of respect this culture expects) or creeped out by the touchy feely Reverend (but would not dare say a thing for fear of ostracization from the rest) as well as the immense amount of dissatisfaction after flying off the handle as your Spiritual mask slipped and the world saw, for a moment, that same enraged child within that you’d been working so hard at keeping hidden beneath the veneer of a new person you’d been projecting.
The true seekers intuited the nature of this Pane Body and it was referenced in many ways quite cryptic as its something that has to be felt to be imperienced and when it shifts the results can be quite dramatic. It is, in effect, the phantom of the past that haunts within and the chains of its suffering are jangling within the depths of your subconscious which extends from below the neck to under the abdomen. This is why a lot of peoples hips are tight, they have issues with digestion, their backs are filled with tension or their chests are aching due to the weight of the world placed upon their shoulders since they stepped into the Game they aren’t aware they’re playing. In many ways the Pane Body is like a shadow, except its shade blocks the light from within. Man will go out of his way to deny this and we created many cultures and traditions as a way of avoiding this uncomfortable truth which is at the root of our suffering and fuels the inhumane ways we treat others we class as different.
Throughout history there are those who have escaped from Platos Cave of ignorance by realizing the true nature of their Opponent:
The way they think they think. Once the light of wisdom shines upon what they didn’t know they didn’t know then a new day dawns from within and they begin retracting their steps to Inner Sense and thus those following their book see what was said in a new light that feels living and life giving which the rest cannot comprehend due to the darkness within thanks to the Pane Body and its influence which divides their Kingdom. Plato commented that those who escape the grips of this artificial presentation that they mistake for life itself due to the interplay of shade and light upon the wall combined with the tale they tell themselves and gain direct perception of the elements suddenly find new answers to old questions as the Pane Body melts because nothing is hidden from one who connects to Self and the familiar newness it brings as it is, was and always will be your inheritance.
Sadly most do not claim this due to the effort it takes to examine the foundations of your perceptions but now you have a reason to know why this is and thus are equipped with the Knowledge to think different, should you wish.
A flexible mind reflects in the flesh. A child wanders into this realm and is filled by questions and an immense curiosity which is hard to quench until the System does its thing and dims the glow of the Inner Sense by turning them into the Adulterated, just like their parents before them. This immense chain of suffering stretches back into the darkness of prehistory and can, just as easily, extend into the artificial illumination that is coming when carbon meets silicon and the Game moves to an entirely different level with a new layer of illusion. I mean, seriously ask your Self:
With the shifts you’ve seen do you truly expect anything we think, do or believe to be the same in a couple of centuries? Either you will react as expected or use the flex of Inner Sense to create new options whilst we still have the chance as a collective as we are being secretly railroaded into believing there is no option beyond what they’re giving. In this gamble the house always wins as they’ve stacked the deck and rigged the odds hence every single thing you know is wrong and you are the latest Victim in a chain of ignorance. The only way to stand against this is to Know the Ledge and thus become an Opponent of the Current Thing.
This is what the Warrior knows best. This is my perspective and I can talk it because I live it as I too once labored under the misgivings of a Pane Body playing tricks on my awareness that caused me to manufacture proof as I lied to myself in order to protect a position that wasn’t in my best interests and thus in the avoidance of suffering I created many habits hell bent on my destruction as I kept doing that which never bought solutions, only distractions and promises of a better tomorrow that attempted to escape the past which is always present and reflected in how open your mind is and how much you can flex the flesh. Once I comprehended this and started letting go of what doesn’t serve my best interests by actively chasing these demons instead of running from them I found a new strength that felt so beautiful yet delicate. This is Inner Sense and I would really, really like for you to bestow the option upon yourself to imperience it as its the difference that makes the difference and truly my reason for living as it motivates most of what I do in my quest for Knowledge of Self (and by extension this and the other realms as all plays out inside my awareness) so remember to ask yourself when reading future topics:
“Is that me or my Pane Body reacting and making me project my suffering onto something someone else said?”.
As it can be quite illuminating when one learns to discern the water from the milk but that is another discussion we’ll dive into at depth as we progress.
Till we meet again
