The Election and This Person

            In a couple of months, the Republican House and Senate of this nation will begin to legislate this country into a Christian autocracy (dictatorship). (See Project 2024.) Knowing that Liz here values a democratic republic, and one that separates church and state, some have asked how this person has responded to the election since she has shifted consciousness. To explain, I will backtrack a bit. At The Shift, what I call the ontological ego fell away. This means that the experience of existence that was here is gone. That experience of existence was that consciousness and ego are reality. What remained to slowly wind down was what I call the psychological ego , which is what one normally thinks of as ego—the guilt and fear, the judgmental and attacking thoughts, etc. After several difficult years of ego rising fully to conscious awareness, this consciousness has become quieter, more open, and lighter as the power of the psychological ego has diminished greatly as it con

Nothing Real is Having a False Experience

            It is popular to explain what is occurring in consciousness as a movie or a play, and until recently, I did so, too. The idea was that some part of Reality took on a role, played a character, for a while. For those for whom reincarnation makes sense, they speak of some part of Reality taking on several, usually evolving roles, over many lifetimes. I was not wholly comfortable with this idea of an actor playing a part, but for a while it was all I had because ego was still here saying identity is real. But I could not figure out who the actor was supposed to be, because my experience is that consciousness is simply the space in which images, thoughts, and feelings appear, but it has no agency, no will, no identity. And Spirit is Reality’s extension into consciousness, always aware of Its Source. Spirit has never been lost to Reality or even felt It was lost to Reality. So, if the actor isn’t Spirit, then it is not anything real, either. Finally, this was answered when I r

Ask: What is happening with psychics and NDEs?

            “What is happening when someone like a ‘psychic’ is speaking with a dead relative and the information can be confirmed by a living relative, or when someone has a ‘near death experience’ and tells of meeting Jesus or dead family members? Are we just jumping timelines, thinning a veil, simply changing the quality of the dream or is it just the layers of this illusion?” –WW These are just layers of the illusion. Psychic phenomena are simply moments when one has access to consciousness as a whole and tunes into what is to happen or sees another’s story for themselves and others. Some have ongoing access to information in consciousness, others have it occasionally, or maybe only a moment or two in their life. Near death experiences (NDEs) and mystical experiences could be seen as the “thinning of the veil.” To use an analogy I’ve used before, if the sun represents God and sunlight represents Christ and a house represents consciousness, the occupant of the house would be

Oneness and Politics

          Sometimes clients or readers express that they feel that one side of the political spectrum is more in line with Truth, with God, than the other. And this would be the left side, which they see as more compassionate, recognizes our commonality, has a we’re-all-in-this-together attitude, encourages a more humane work/life balance, is more about people than money or religious righteousness, etc. They feel that the political left comes closer to expressing oneness than the political right and are confused when I say neither has anything to do with God. If consciousness were real, were God (the Absolute), they could have a point. If you shift consciousness, you do become aware that there is one consciousness behind all seeming consciousnesses. If ego falls away, the one consciousness expands and moves forward in your conscious awareness, and you are aware that all that appears is occurring in this one consciousness. For many, both in Eastern and Western religions and spirituali

Time, the Greatest Illusion

           Decades ago, when I got stuck and told Spirit I could not go on unless I got an answer to how What is Perfect could have even an imperfect thought , I was given the ontology that I use to this day:   God, being All, must contain the idea of Its Own opposite. But being All, God cannot have an opposite, so not-God can only ever be an idea .   But as the opposite of Timelessness, the idea of not-God contains time , and in time it seems as though the idea arose long ago and will be undone in some indefinite future…   I realized right then that time was the great illusion on which all other illusions rest. An idea that arose and could not catch hold because of its impossibility seems real because of the illusion of a gap between its arising and being undone. It is in that illusion of a gap—time—that a false reality seems to occur. An illusory sense of deep time is crucial to an illusion seeming real. While this was obvious, I did not give it too much thought while time

It Is a Different World

            A question I had after the shift in consciousness was, “Am I really seeing a different world? Or just the same old world differently? Or is this the same thing?” The answer is the latter: A different way of seeing a world is a different world. Because the world one lives in is perceptual and is not the material world. The material world is simply a screen onto which one’s perceptions are projected. Or not, when the screen is seen to be just a screen. I thought I knew that world really meant consciousness , but the Shift showed this to me in a way I could not understand until consciousness shifted. Another question was: Given that it is so different, is there any value for others in my sharing what I now know and see? For some who have experienced the Shift themselves or are nearing it, the answer is sometimes yes. What I share may validate, illuminate, or describe their experience. But they are a tiny minority. For most, it seems what I now share is generally not helpf

Ask: What are your thoughts on the idea of a "healthy ego"?

  “Over the years, I’ve heard the term ‘healthy ego’ what are your thoughts about this? Is there such a thing?” – ESA   Ego is not real, so from Spirit’s perspective, there is no answer to this. But within the framework of its false reality, an ego’s state of health ranges from extreme mental illness up to spiritual self-realization, Bill Thetford being a good example of the latter for students of A Course in Miracles . So, in short, yes there is such a thing as a “healthy ego”, but it’s a relative, never an absolute, thing. Psychologically speaking, a healthy ego is one that has a sound sense of self-worth without being overblown and adjusts to the world as it is. A healthy ego deals with the stresses of life without falling apart. In fact, a healthy ego grows through crises. A well-adjusted adult ego holds a job, takes care of their self, and has functional, balanced relationships. When thrown off balance, a well-adjusted ego eventually rebalances and will ask for help in this i
