Blog: The Whey, The Truth and The Life!
Time for some "Truth and Life" (after sharing what I have shared about "The Whey").
I had an "uh huh" moment on the significance (in my life right now) regarding the truth that my "parents created the 'person'" that I believed myself to be when they named me when I was born.(A Yahoo group that is devoted to this subject here:
http://www.thechristmind.org/)
Yesterday I sent correspondence to a brother on the East Coast (I'm on the West Coast) quoting the scripture in the gospels of the one who came to Jesus saying words to the effect that "your mother and brothers are asking for you". Jesus replied saying in effect "Who is my mother and who are my brothers but they who do the will of God!" I am having an experience of that truth in relation to my own "family of origin".
I received an obviously heated message from a "nephew" in reply to my declining an upcoming "family reunion". Christ in me can only do the will of God. I am not the "person" that this "family" thinks I am. I am willing to let that person die.
One of my great passions in life is real, truth-based communications. That kind of communication is life to me! For me to "crucify" the "person" whom I thought I was is a matter of ending those communications that are addressed to the person that others think I am. I actually began this "crucification" years ago when I stopped calling "Dojo" my mother. (Dojo is the email name she gave herself based on her and husband's names.) Now I am seeing that I can let go of the other identifications throughout the rest of the "family of origin".
I did not reply to the "heated message" mentioned above. I realized the message was not about who and what I Am but about a person that the sender thinks I am but even more so it is about that person who sent the message! I am not bound to be a respecter of "persons". I have the freedom to be silent and to not acknowledge certain attempts to communicate to a person that essentially does not live here anymore. What a freedom!
" ... stand fast therefore, (in the Liberty where with Christ has made you free) and be no more entangled with a yoke of bondage"!: Galatians 5:1

By Robert Clark, author of "The Christ Mind"
I was moved to write 'The Christ Mind' through FAITH in the belief that I was a 'branch' of the Vine! Through faith in the belief that ~ if I were a branch of the Vine ~ I could therefor have NO 'being' apart from or other than the Vine! Through faith in the belief that 'I and the Vine were One' ~ set in motion the growth of the 'Christ' in my consciousness! ( Gal.4-19) As it will in anyone else!
But ~ virtually every one on Earth believes they have being apart from God ~ from the Universal I AM! So whether they be in Government ~ Church business or 'in control of' any other administrative organization ~ their first priority is their 'self'! That ~ is 'human nature'! That is why we have the World we have today! That is why the 'self' must be crucified!
I initially entitled my writing 'Points of Light' ~ because my thoughts did not correlate with what the Church taught. To me ~ my thoughts were more relative to what was written in the Bible ~ but the elders of the Church thought otherwise ~ and refused to discuss the matter and THAT
WAS THAT! And through out these past 50 years no Minister I discussed this subject with ~ has ever met with me a second time! Because they could not and can not dispute the Biblical references I put before them!
In spite of what Jesus was quoted as saying in John 15@17 ~ they refuse to believe that we are all One ~ or that God is the reality of man! To them ~ I was taking what was written in the Bible too literally! In my opinion ~ after Jesus' ascension ~ had the 'Evangelical Churches' of the World included in their concept of the Spiritual Rebirth ~ the most essential requisite of all ~ that being the acceptance and acknowledgment of the Spirit of God ~ as being man's reality ( As I 'gleaned' from Matthew.10:20) ~ Christianity ~ would by now ~ have revolutionized Religious thought through out the World! No religion on Earth embodies such profound potential ~ as do the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth! rac
I responded:
I take great delight in your line: "Through faith in the belief that ~ if I were a branch of the Vine ~ I could therefor have NO 'being' apart from or other than the Vine!"
I just now DE CLAREd: "I Am a branch of the Vine"!
What a joy!
I'm now singing this!!!
Where I live is on a third of an acre with a couple dozen trees. I am slowly but surely connecting with these trees as I make compost here as their primary nourishing supplement. Doing this work is most fulfilling! I have also done some pruning. I recently pruned a branch by reaching up at a high level and after I made the cut the branch did not fall but was suspended by other branches! I was barely able to cut it and therefore it is beyond my reach. It continues to be suspended in the branches.
Since then, I have seen the branch every day through my office window, suspending among the other branches and I'd think I need a tall ladder to take that branch down.
However, now I am inspired to leave the branch there and whenever I give people "tours" here I intend to point out that branch and share the truth about who we are!

This is my core realization:
We're not the "person" that was created when it was named!
"Person" is a fiction, a mask (or a shield as with corporations) that can be used in fictional realms but not in truth. The truth of who we are was never created by being named. Since we are not the "person" that was created by our identification with that name then when the becomes "self evident" we have the Right not to identify with that at all! That is why I now say: "We're not the 'person' that was created when it (that person/fiction) was named!"
Crucify the person and free your self from the tyranny of person-hood!

I am getting a lot out of your blog tonight!! Three things now, you are hitting the nail on MY head, thanks.
About this post - I am also good at disapointing people who want me to be what they think I should be. Family can be the worst for that...
I tend to "say it the way I see it", like you do. Your words give me strength as I face a huge battle coming up.... I am full of fears what will happen if I say what I feel... these people have power, they really could hurt me where I am vulnerable.
What makes us vulnerable though? Addictions, possessions, desires, attachments... I have to let those go.
{those are the thoughts of Bhudda instead of Christ, but there are wisdoms in both.}
Peace be with you my wise friend!! Stay strong.

Greetings Karlin!
My replies follow.
"I am getting a lot out of your blog tonight!!"
Wonderful!
" Three things now, you are hitting the nail on MY head, thanks."
I have never heard that exact expression before: "hitting the nail on MY head" and I find considerable humor in the though of that! In any case you are most welcome!
"About this post - I am also good at disapointing people who want me to be what they think I should be."
Sounds like you are an individual and one who may be surrounded by others who are domineering!
"Family can be the worst for that..."
I agree!
"I tend to 'say it the way I see it', like you do."
You speak your truth. I can appreciate that!
" Your words give me strength as I face a huge battle coming up...."
I'm glad to share encouragement with you!
" I am full of fears what will happen if I say what I feel... these people have power, they really could hurt me where I am vulnerable."
You've really caught my attention and curiosity now! What exactly are you afraid of?
"What makes us vulnerable though? Addictions, possessions, desires, attachments... I have to let those go.
{those are the thoughts of Bhudda instead of Christ, but there are wisdoms in both.}"
And they actually both come together!
"Peace be with you my wise friend!! Stay strong."
Thank You!
My daughter is visiting me from The Netherlands. She inquired with me about attending a family reunion coming up. I told her I wasn't going to be there. She inquired further and I responded with the truth which was multi-layered. We got through a couple layers and she reached a point where she appeared to accept my resolve.
My central principal was the necessity for mutual interest for me to have any genuine active relationship with others (whomever they may be). I said to her that if "family" comes together once every several years and there is no communication in between the long stretch then where is the mutual interest for developing relationships? My daughter said that meeting with the family could be an "opportunity" to connect with them. I responded saying that not meeting with them could also be an opportunity for those family members to contact me and let me know they "missed" me.
I can gift you with an introduction to your "Human Design" and related "Destiny" indicators that would allow us both to see the "vehicle" that you are working through. Then that awareness can support you in being true to yourself, regardless of what others may or may not say to you.
I am what I am through my truth of self!
All The Very Best of Good Fortunes to You, Karlin!

Wow, you answered every thought I had sent you, thank you for that.
One thing that stuck with me for the past week after reading your posts is that idea about "Christ speaking through us" when we speak the truth as we see it...
What I am getting at is when we hold back saying what we know to be true - aren't we insulting Jesus?
I think of Bradley Manning [of Wikieaks fame] and how much trouble he got in for speaking up about serious crimes. I love him for doing that. What kind of a world is it where we are punished for doing that? - it was a small crime to steal the information, but the information was about murders and tortures - much more serious crimes.
I am going to look up more bible references about "speaking truth".
---
My mysterious "trouble" actually relates to an addiction, and that is why I was being mysterious, I feel stupid for allowing this to happen in the first place - I was prescribed morphine for pain until I became addicted and now the doctor is reducing my dosage, by half, which is causing a lot of suffering. Its just wrong. I argue with them, their reasoning does not hold water... but too much protesting could result in "well then get out and don't come back". It is just so wrong.
He is lying to me, saying everybody is getting reduced, but it isn't true. I am outraged and afraid.
I still have a lot of pain, a "chronic pain condition". Morphine has never harmed me, it has allways worked well, there is no problem with continuing to take it.
I tried quitting a few times, it nearly killed me, its outrageously bad physically. I never knew it was going to be like that...They got me addicted and now they take it away - what WOULD Jesus do?? [well, he might have refused to take it when prescribed, lol].
Sorry to lay all this on you. I just thought some bible quotes would give me the courage to risk protesting loud and clear...

Karlin!
Good to hear you come forward with the truth of what is happening with you!
Setting aside whatever questions there may be regarding the morphine, I would suggest beginning to look at the source of the pain. Where is the pain located? When did that first begin? What happened to you within several months before the onset of that? Can you identify a "shock conflict" that you had experienced prior the onset of the pain? My approach is based on the works of two giants in medicine Dr. Hamer:
http://www.learninggnm.com/
and Dr. John Sarno: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_E._Sarno
Dr Sarno recommends "bibliotherapy", therapy through reading. I have experienced the benefit of this when I the most severely painful sciatica pain I ever had which catapulted me into an emotional catharsis that revealed to me the power of my suppressed rage! After the emotional catharsis my sciatica cleared up!
Dr. Hamer has mapped the connections from psyche through every location in the brain which controls all the organs and systems in the body and how a "shock conflict" registers in the brain and manifests in the corresponding part of the body. He also addresses pain in the healing cycle.
Both doctors address the factors that cause pain to the point of complete resolution of that cause.
"What would Jesus do?" He also would address the cause and offer true and complete healing.
