“Existence is the paradox of experience.”

Routine Oblivion

Beyond our common exposure to human indoctrination via education, heredity, media, politics, religion, science and society, our greatest conditioning comes from our selective programming.  We all subscribe to our personal agendas, deceptions, fantasies, narratives, propaganda, rhetoric and strategies in our quest to evade authenticity and integrity.  Given the reality in which we observe, identify and exist is an elaborate simulation, we design our personal delusion to interact with its illusion.  Our engagement in this paradigm establishes our routine oblivion, converting infinite universality into a vortex of virtuality.

The Mind’s Eye

We engage in the social reality of life, voluntarily sacrificing more than we can possibly imagine.  Our obligatory assimilation acquiesces the power of our soul to the causality of our environment.  We are programmed from an early age into social dependency, tethered to the immediate gratification of an elementary existence.  Many of us fail to understand who we truly are, until we encounter the inevitability of our mortality.  Yet death, as we have all been conditioned to fear, is a lie.  It is simply an evolutionary shift in our experience of being.  The institutionalization and manipulation of our mind’s eye destroys our universal destiny.    

Under the Sun

Every year I participate in an event.  It is not an occasion where I join a congregation, make a declaration to God, then return to my daily life.  Traditionally, it is a twelve-day commitment to purify, pray and relate with community.  After 22 years, my involvement has shifted into being of service to the people.  This year there were two events; in Germany and in Michigan.  Both ceremonies were very unique, which empowered and enhanced my vision in this lineage.  I observed how distinct the event is for each person.  However divergent our experiences may evolve, we are all together in prayer under the sun.

Artificial Power

Humanity is controlled by a matrix of hierarchy.  The elite are exalted for occupying privilege, while the majority are condemned to commonality.  Social reality is an exhibition of accumulation, competition, exploitation and manipulation.  This inevitably translates into ceremony, as some will enact an agenda and strategy to further their own personal advancement.  This diminishes and distorts their prayer into an individual quest for acknowledgement and importance, amplifying their deficiency of self-confidence, esteem, respect and worth.  Eventually, they abandon their soul and invest in the artificial power of their egocentricity.   

 

“Egocentricity is existential oblivion.”

All Our Relations

Being authentic in an inauthentic society is an impossible endeavor.  When we proclaim to know something, we habitually proselytize with people to establish that our wisdom is the endorsement of our authority.  This is merely a pageantry for our egocentricity.  I have observed this frequently in the last 24 years.  We may even weaponize our knowledge upon others, preventing the progression of the community’s evolution.  When we embody and empower understanding, we experience prayer as a multidimensional convergence of being; to synchronize, synergize and resonate with the universe, our soul and all our relations.

Contrary Forces

With every proactive intent we make when we pray, there is an equal and opposite force of reactive ego.  More often than not, many of us struggle to be in our prayer.  Our personal delusion distorts, exploits and negates our focus, purpose and vision to neutralize the energy of our universal relativity.  These contrary forces are unable to source their own power.  Therefore, they are condemned to seize and syphon whatever they can muster from the oblivion of humanity; preying upon the raw energy of our anxiety, egocentricity, insecurity and uncertainty.  Their energetic density manifests much as gravity in the simulation of social reality.

Sacred Space

Every ceremony creates a powerful relativity between the universe and the earth.  The key preparation for this event is establishing the space.  This is as important as the community and its prayer, which sets an essential boundary.  The circle is a sacred space, transformed into a spiritual field in which the people are protected from contrary forces that attempt to distort, exploit and manipulate the energy flow at its center.  As we may have observed in contemporary society, these entities have progressively become hyper-aggressive, extreme, malevolent and vicious, threatening the sacred space of our soul.

Being Present

Universal relativity is the remedy for the schism we all enable with our soul.  Our personal oblivion enslaves us into an abusive existence of traumatization, toxification and victimization, rendering us accessible and vulnerable to the social vortex provoking our universal extinction.  Consciousness is the omnipresence that establishes the equilibrium between our soul, intuition, heart, mind and body.  This synergy sources our evolution, transformation and transcendence, empowering our universal relativity and resonance.  Being present is the most vital aspiration we can embody in this remarkable age of awakening.

Experiential Drift

Every day, we exist in a social simulation, inundated with a plethora of abstractions, distractions, misinterpretations, misunderstandings, occupations, preoccupations, opinions and subjectivity.  These influences impose their impact upon us, distorting and disrupting our focus, intention, purpose and vision.  Many of us are frequently drifting from our prayer, even during ceremony; to the degree our experience feels incomplete.  Our ego will invent the illusion of achievement, yet our encounter remains a mystery within the deficiency of our soul relativity.  Occupying the center of our being is essential when we pray.

Crossing the Threshold

When we observe all the effort, energy, expense, preparation and time we invest into our prayer, being present in every moment is fundamental to the fulfillment of our experience.  Wherever we conduct our attention is where our energy flows.  When we are influenced by our ego, we become possessed by the contrary forces abiding in our peripheral environment.  We drift because our awareness is exploited, manipulated and transmuted to endorse the animosity of society.  Prayer is an opportunity to cross our personal threshold of enabling our virtual existence to empower our universal experience in the center of our soul.                                            

“In every breath…with every step…be every prayer.”
