Topic: Wanderers and Wanderings

The first thing I realised after scrolling through the writings of members is that hey, Montalk must be one something of an individual, just look at all the big fish that he has reeled in. I mean, such a collection of bright bulbs all attracted to the a single web. A web if intrique? An opportunity, I feel, for me to squeeze in my own contribution to the great debate. Simple as it is. I'm more into experiencing life physically so I'm not much into cerebral exercises. Well here goes (thanks for the space).

  To everybody I meet for the first time I ask, to what degree have you been compromised? What portion of a 24 hour day can you truthfully say belongs entirely to you?
  This is what I judge you by.
  My friendship is open to that part of you that has remained true to itself. To that part of you that is able to recognise the truth shrouded by many layers of illusion and deceit. That humble and lonely portion that feels the gentle touch of Eternity.
  Peace be with you.

The reason why some people are wanderers is because the Matrix recognises some individuals as being serious potential threats to the continuing reign of it's illusion machine. These people attract powerfull energies and if someone was to find a soul place in which to settle then these energies will merge and become grounded, creating an alternative version of reality, one that is hostile to the Matrix.
  When the truth be said wanderers are wanderers because whenever they arrive somewhere they find that they don't fit in. They are literally forced to move on through the effects of every soul crushing device that the cunningly depicable Matrix can contrive. One's feelings and sensibilities are attacked relentlessly. No mercy is ever given. That's how you can tell that it is the Matrix. The Matrix itself can not feel. It is only a Game Master.

  Once you realise this you are free to live again. Sometime way back you agreed to become a performer in the game; you would participate in it on a physical level so that you could actually feel creation and, what's more, feel yourself inside a creation.
Now, when times are tough many of you don't really want to play anymore. You would rather be cerebral than physical because no-one evr told you that physical feeling includes that of pain in myriad forms, on many levels, inner and outer.

  The more you distance yourself from physical reality the further you drift away into gravity-low space. In other words you feel you don't really belong here anymore which is exactly what the Matrix wants you to feel.

  You represent the Matrix 'kill' rate because you can never find your way back to where you belong. If that is what you want, so many of you, then go. Please, what is stopping you? We who have remained loyal to the spirit of the game want you to go.

  Unless of course.....well, you might like to take the last opportunity to rejoin the Game in the light of a new awareness. The keys are here for you. Why not turn back and, this time, experience physical Reality with a capital 'R'.

You see, in Reality, what you think doesn't matter. It goes without saying that how long you think for doesn't matter one iota either. What you feel and how you respond to that feeling is what matters in Reality.

Cerebral contemplation is not even mentioned in the rules.

There really are no rules except that you remain true to your own self. In other words, that you respond to the feelings that resonate from a wonderful place inside of you where thought does not even exist.

  Mind is the ultimate illusion.
  Feeling is creativity expressing itself.

You can think your way around Truth but, just as you cannot deduct the weight from gold nor the hardness from a diamond, you cannot take away from what is true. No force in the universe can do that. This is the Power of Reality.

  In Reality your deepest desire is realised. This is the Magic of Reality.

Re: Wanderers and Wanderings

It is nice when we as facets of a greater wholeness contribute to explain this.  The deceit, the manipulation, how our minds are spun around in the aimless rush.  We need to get out of that spin to start to flourish, to unfold.  Some of us kept the spark to go through the process of unfolding reality despite the programming.

Re: Wanderers and Wanderings

I sometimes have a hard time telling what is the real "me," or if there even is one. I know I have been compromised to some degree. I've been forced to adapt to life in the matrix, or else I wouldn't survive. This leaves me wondering what kind of change I can effect if all I'm doing is responding to the matrix rather than acting independent of it. In essence, I think we should strive to be the cause and let the matrix react to US. Being reactive to the matrix is futile and leaves us running in circles within its "grasp."

Re: Wanderers and Wanderings

While 'thinking ' about what we can and can't do to help disolve the Matrix you might like to consider that when it does desolve (as it surely will) then you will go with it. It will destroy everything that is remotely connected to it before it concedes to defeat. No-one who wishes to have life beyond the Matrix has any choice but to hasten in the coming Reality. That means turning away from the Matrix no matter how painful you fear that may be for you. Its not that you don't have the courage, you do, more than enough. Believe it, feel it, it is your's.

We see; then we know.

The Matrix has built itself a formidible reality. It has painted over Truth by using every shade of trickery and deception arousing in human souls fear, and great depair. But it paints over Truth no longer because it has run out of originality. Its the same old thing over and over and over.
And its all wearing a bit thin. Holes are already beginning to appear in the fabrics of deception. Helalula!

Come to know your heart. Come to trust it again. Learn again how to respond to it.

I think we need to react to it in a centered kind of way.  Untying the knots, solving the problems.  It is, I think a complex system instrumental to the benefit of a parasite of the planet. That is again a cancer, a debilitating disease.  It is paralysing us to think to it's advantage in many ways.

Bravo, Freebird. Oh that everyone will refuse any longer to accept into their lives, indeed into their World, parasites that have no beneficial qualities whatsoever.

Re: Wanderers and Wanderings

Please continue Jazzpen, your words are music to my Soul!!!  How do we exist here, knowing we don't want to be here, wanting to smash this reality, wanting not to participate?  I'm a feeler rather than a thinker, and a thinker rather than a do-er, but my feelings aren't guiding me about how to actually continue; pretty much the only thing worth living for these days (apart from being with loved ones) is the constant seeking of how to get out.  Increasing our awareness of possible future scenarios may also be playing into the hands of the Matrix....so do continue.

Thanks!

Re: Wanderers and Wanderings

Divinity,
              Thank you, a positive word seems to be a rare thing these days.
  From where I am looking the only people who are playing into the Predator's hands are those who believe they are filled with the light of wonderous intellect which they like to refer to as their 'spirit' and 'soul' or, 'inner being' when in truth it is little more than overblown vanity (read ego) which is going to pop the moment the manufactured reality that bloats them suddenly disolves. I guess that sounds negative but, hell, I'm more into telling it as it is rather than pampering to someone's mind. Not yours, I hasten to say, your own mind is tempered by a heart that you listen to.

Re: Wanderers and Wanderings

Freedom is there for you, all you need do is accept it. That's all. Accept freedom. Death is not your freedom. Reject death decay and forgive yourself for feeling drawn to things that harm you. Forgive yourself for being too much or too little, for making mistakes. And realize that you can learn and grow from every painfull experience just as much as you can learn and grow from every pleasurable one. You are already free.
