There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in our philosophy.
William Shakespeare, Hamlet
A few decades ago I swallowed the Red Pill and also jumped down the rabbit hole at the same time. I could never have dreamt what things I would learn as a result. I learned, for example, that we humans, and all things around us, are actually energy. I also learned a great deal about beliefs...what, how and why we believe what we do.
In the beginning I almost gagged on the Red Pill, and wished I had tied a rope to myself so that I could climb back out of the rabbit hole. It would have been so much easier to remain blithely ignorant. But it was too late. I would learn from Tesla, Einstein, Plank, Grof, Watts, Yogananda, the Buddha, Jung, Lao Tzu and even Rumi along with many others, that what I had thought was physical reality was just an illusion and that much of what I had believed was false. Talk about cognitive dissonance!
But assimilating knowledge from these exceptional humans was not enough. In my search for understanding I found myself on weeks long vision quests out in the desert. I climbed remote mountains, and upon those peaks danced and drummed beneath a canopy of galaxies and stars. I read and wrote poetry, journaled many hundreds of pages of thought and in the end carefully used psychedelics to heighten my consciousness.
I'd like to share what I found. However, I'll do it one concept at a time, recognizing that Steemit is a place of speed reading, scanning and most often, no reading at all but rather letting the auto voting bot suffice. (In fact to emphasize this point I will transfer 1 SBD to anyones account that mentions the word "moo-cow" in comments below. Really. I will.) Though it is disappointing to have only a handful of people actually read a post, it is good to write anyway because it makes me organize things and attempt to make them understandable. Ready? Here we go!
ENERGY BANKS
This is not me, but a cool pic I think. From pixabay. It creates the illusion that this man is levitating. I think what is more likely is that there is a trampoline we cannot see. But it prompts us to look beyond the illusion.
When humans gather together for a sports event, for a church meeting, for a network marketing meeting, or a concert, or symposium, or a political rally or to hang out with friends at the pub and a hundred other kinds of gatherings we create a group synergy, and energy that infuses us and energizes us. We create and share an unseen energy that is quite real. We've all experienced this phenomenon. We'll call it collective group consciousness.
This collective consciousness can be experienced in small groups such as a bunch of parents watching their kids play soccer (football for everyone outside the US), or it can be an entire nation that melds together in a moment of collective consciousness: recall the shared horror of 9/11 and our collective madness as we dashed off to war in Iraq. (That's not a madness all of us participated in. We saw it for what it was. A calculated manipulation to create a Global War on Terrorism. And now 2.5 trillion dollars later we are still out there killing and destroying... all begun with the false flag of 9/11.) But anyway, that my friends is an example of collective energy infusing people.
HERE IS THE POINT... FINALLY!!
Right now as you read this trillions of bits of data are streaming through your body in the form of radio waves on it's way to your computer or cell phone, or television. We can't see this energy but we know it there. We humans create a similar energy. Yes, we do. This energy transmits emotions and data. Now here is the tricky part, but if you'll take a moment to contemplate you'll see it's validity. This energetic data can be imprinted and stored and accessed. If you don't believe me, well then, believe Nikola Tesla:
"My brain is only a receiver. In the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength, inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists."
Here is the point. Much of what we believe comes to us not from within our own minds, but from outside of us, from a collective bank of energy. This is where it gets really fascinating: Everything has a stored bank of etheric energy. Your sports team, your political party, religion, state, school, company you work for, Steemit, EOS, books, or community. We all subconsciously tap into these energy banks and connect to them. But because we are unconsciously doing this we think that the energy we are tapping into comes from within. These energy banks are very real and are reservoirs of BELIEF. The information in these banks may not be the truth though. But the power and information in these banks is transmitted to individuals giving them the illusion of truth!
Right about now your cognitive dissonance should be maxing out. Go back to my blog on beliefs from a week ago and carefully read it. This will tell you why the alarms are blaring in your mind. https://steemit.com/spirit/@mistermercury/are-your-beliefs-the-truth
Well, thanks for reading. I encourage you to contemplate about this. If you do you will discover a whole new realm of awareness and consciousness. Many blessings.
