Chapter 1: The Nature of the Quest 69
brains into harmony, or aid the “heart in opening”, obtaining “harmony and
balance” which is then going to “open windows in our mind, our heart, and our
spirit”, etc. It is claimed that we can do this basically by assuming God’s point of
view that “all is one, all is love”. It is stated, (with some truth I should add, since
good disinformation is always wrapped in a warm and fuzzy truth), that, “without
Divine Unity inside of us, these windows of inspiration are rarely available”. What
they do NOT tell you is that the staircase to Divine Unity of Being requires a full
field of awareness of Being and Non-being, and this can only be achieved by
divesting oneself of the controls of Nonbeing which are, indeed, part of Being, but
which seek to obviate Being in a paradoxical sleep of “Unification” which often
begins by believing the lie that “knowledge protects” simply by having it.
Indeed, many of the “techniques” sold in the slick packages of “ascension tools”
will temporarily produce chemical changes that will feel VERY good, the same
way a good meal satisfies hunger temporarily. It really, “feels good”! But just as
the steak and salad are digested and most of the matter excreted in a few hours,
and another steak and salad is needed to fill the stomach again, so do such
practices fail to do anything more than perpetuate the “food chain”. And, staying
with the analogy, very little of the “substance” of such practices actually “stays
with” the individual.
A considerable period of time is required for the seeker to finally come to the
realization that techniques that relieve stress or produce “good feelings”, have
done nothing to actually change their lives or their “vibrations”. They are still
recognized by their neighbor’s dog, they still find new gray hairs on their heads,
and they still get sick and have aches and pains like everyone else. The problem is,
again, the “bottom up” ideas have been employed, which only result in remaining
in the “mixed” state, or worse, being drawn deeper into the path of non-being.
Well, I should qualify that: to those for whom Non-being is their immutable
nature, this is only natural and right and they will thrive following the path of nonbeing.
But for those many, many seekers whose immutable nature is toward Being,
this is a terrible trap - the gravitational effect of the Thought Center of Non-Being
- to draw all of Creation into Non-Being will act on them in ways that are
crippling to their relationships and health. Human beings who go through life
feeling as though they have a “hole in their hearts” are those who are not
synchronized with their immutable nature.
The natural field of view for the organic unit alone - with no connection to the
higher self - is that of the material and/or mechanical interpretation of all
phenomena. The influences of the Thought Center of non-being - the source of
matter - have been increasing through the manifestation of billions of such units at
a single point in time: the present.
The Thought Center of non-being is of a certain nature - contractile subjectivity
- that exerts a more or less “gravitational” pull - a desire to absorb and assimilate
the soul energies of Being - so as to feed its own contracting nature. Even if it
promotes a full field of awareness in principle, it can only view Being as a traitor
to its own need to not exist. This results in an individual who may proclaim that all
is illusion, but whose actions - or rather lack thereof - betray the deeper immutable
state of being. Due to its intrinsic nature, there is a powerful exertion of non-being
