Stream of Consciousness: Tap directly into the deep well of universal knowledge.
This
morning I decided to try out the stream of consciousness technique for
writing down the ideas that were floating around in my head when I woke
up. The unedited results are below:
stream of consciousness
happiness is free
joy is inside you
you need not searth for truth outside yoursefl
journey inward in silence to find joy
pain and pleasure are the same
you don't ahve any problems that you don't crate and feed to learn
the truth is for everyouone
helpt save the sonship
heal yourself
be kind
eat well
drink water
breath right
sleep well
deep well
teach people
feel good
eat now
Not really many typos and the first line is the title and the last line is letting me know I was done...it was over rather quickly.
Generally, I mediate before I try to write anything, but this morning I really wanted to get this written down before they escaped....sure they don't make much sense, but I am going to treat this like and experiment with the stream of consciousness technique.
Each one of those lines is worth explaining a little bit, so I will attempt to do so...links to separate pages might come out as well.
Try yoga if mediation seems to dull. Here are keys to the inward journey:
Key #1: Fear is an illusion. Jack Canfield made up an acronym for F.E.A.R
Future
Events
Appearing
Real
So fear, is you thinking about a future event, and not liking one possible outcome.
Most people I know are afraid of silence at an unconscious level. The first thing people to in the morning is turn on the radio or TV to fill the void.
I LOVE the void. I love the sound of silence. Real silence becomes a roar if you listen to it long enough.
We all really love peace and once you get past the fear (do you really think silence can "hurt" you?...now that you know that the real you doesn't even need a body, planet, or universe to be?).
A big part of the earth journey is to get over every kind of fear...what is the worst thing that can happen? Your earth body dies...big whoop...get another body, get re-born...start playing again.
That's not really the worst that can happen...sometimes you might think it is not fun being alive...if so, you might need to seek professional care in the "real world".
I suggest you read books my Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer and talk to professional care givers if you have think you have real problems.
Key #2: Breathing and a quite mind
The inward journey starts with mediation. I have a meditation page. You can start your journey there...but don't stop there. Learn to meditate everyday. Take a yoga class, or a guided meditation class. Buy some meditation mp3s or CDs or books...get into meditation and you will find the truth.
Key #3: Read books in the "Day to Day" world about the inward journey and spiritual matters. Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer are great places to start. I also recommend:
No Time for Karma
A Course in Miracles
How did I think that from the stream of consciousness?!? That is mostly from the voice that wrote "A course in miracles".
If you accept the "truth" that you are a piece of "God consciousness" that doesn't have any needs at all...then how could you have any problems?
The problems that you "think" you have you are unconsciously co-creating with your higher self to teach the little you something your higher self wants your lower self to learn....sounds crazy....I KNOW!
You and your higher self create and feed problems in your earth life that create your earth life's problems. It's ok...it's a perfect system.
Once you meet your higher self and start interacting and communicating with him/her then, you can start asking for what "you" (the little earth you) wants and stop making up problems for yourself.
Stream of Consciousness: The truth is for everyone
Everyone that walks around on earth knows the truth of reality and of
their true self. We have all just forgot. This
isn't a bad thing, we all forgot on purpose. Remember life in
general, including life on earth is a perfect system...everyone that is
on Earth, came here for a reason and of their own free will.
So, in reality, this message's "target audience" is everyone...but that doesn't mean everyone wants to know the truth NOW and will seek to find the truth during this life time.
So I do have a niche of those people that are on earth now, and look for answers to the "big questions" of earth using the internet.
"The Sonship" is what "A course in miracles" refers to as humanity. The central message of "A course in Miracles" is to first learn the truth of your own identity and then help teach and share the truth with everyone else. So I guess, Help save the sonship is one of my long term goals.
These are what are left over and they pretty much just mean what they say....almost like....ok that is enough for now do these things and have a nice day, now stop and go make yourself a smoothie for breakfast!
Note, I finished this the following morning after writing for nearly two hours on the explanations, which is a nice writing session for me at this point.
I tried to tap into the stream again this morning thinking there might be something new to start on, but I then just wanted to finish this up.
I like this stream of consciousness method of writing and I am going to try making it work more often in new ways.

Stream of Consciousness
So,
the first step in finding joy is to take an inward journey.
This
can be a little scary and boring at first...but you have courage and I
know you can stay awake.This
is the technique of just "letting go" and witting whatever occurs
to you without thinking about rules or grammar or punctuation and
seeing what comes out. I did this with my eyes closed as
well...as much as possible.
Stream of Consciousness: Happiness is Free
This
idea has two sources in my recent week. 1) Reading a book by
Tony
Robbins, (Awake the Giant within), Tony tells a story about Elvis.
Although Elvis had achieved hugh external success, he never
stopped seeking happiness through external means.
At the end of his life, he could have anything he wanted in the world, and he choose to use drugs until they killed his body. Elvis never learned that "happiness is Free" and you don't need to search for anything outside yourself to find it.
The eternal part of Elvis (not his earthly body...as far as I know) continues to exist.
The second idea came from a conversation with my wife Yayoi. She has been trying to come up with an idea for a new job. She is not quite ready to quit her current job, and at the same time, she can see an end point coming up in the next couple of years...
...whenever her boss decides to retire Yayoi doesn't want to get stuck doing her job, so she wants to make a plan to get a new job.
So, Yayoi is thinking about what job to do next. She has several ideas: voice acting, translator/interpreter, dental technician and she is going over her ideas with me to ask me what I think.
This is when I told her maybe she should learn that a job doesn't make you happy, but if she could learn to be happy first, then any job would do.
She agreed in principle that a job will not make her happy, but she doesn't know how to find happiness herself, and that she is not really inclined to to try right now.
Happiness is free...but everyone must find there way inside and report back what you find. This idea might warrant more pages...stay tuned.
Stream of Consciousness: Joy is inside you
Proctor and Gamble might love that! This is the same idea as "happiness in free" I think.
I guess I must have finished a part of the earth lesson plan, because I know these things, and I am now learning how to express them to people.
There are more people in American today that are seeking joy outside of themselves than people that are content with nothing. And I think most of them would tell you that they are some form of Christian believing person.
The 23rd Psalm lays out a nice plan for letting go of earthly desires that are attachments. If you are free from "wanting" then you can be happy with nothing and the universe will provide for you and protect your body while you are on earth.
Look at how many people are so broke that they will most likely never recover from debt in America. The trap isn't because the bank is evil...the trap is everyone thinks they need an endless stream of "stuff" to make them happy.
The right job, spouse, career, house, clothes, boy friend, social network, cell phone, cable plan, China, Crystal...the list is endless...whoever dies with the most toys wins!
There is nothing wrong with stuff by itself, as long as you realize that joy and happiness comes from turning your attention inward and learning the the truth of the universe and find the silent truth...
...that you are a sinless eternal piece of "god consciousness" that cannot be changed in any way by your earthly experience.
...then you can work on making your "earth dream" a little more happy with the the things that you prefer for your dream. Such as, your preferred job (it still won't make you happy...but you are already happy(!).
At the end of his life, he could have anything he wanted in the world, and he choose to use drugs until they killed his body. Elvis never learned that "happiness is Free" and you don't need to search for anything outside yourself to find it.

Stream of Consciousness:
You need not seek truth outside yourself
You need not seek truth outside yourself
The
objective truth of the universe cannot be found in the waking state of
consciousness (yet!). Which brings me to a little bit on
"levels
of consciousness":
You are familiar with the the first three:
1) Deep Sleep...practically unconscious...but not really.
2) Dreaming: You are a little more aware and thinking, but not moving your physical body.
3) Day-to-Day Life: This is where you are seeking to find the truth, but you won't find it outside in the waking world, because that is still a dream relative to higher states. The truth is still true in this state...but you need not rush around or try to "buy" truth.
You don't even need to move much, first you need to learn to quiet your mind and get comfy with silence which will lead you to a new level of consciousness.
4) Mediative Awareness: Using meditation, you can find a silent partner in your life...you can call it whatever you want....a helpful angel, God, the universe, your higher self...it is the real you.
The real you is the silent piece of "consciousness" that hears your thoughts, and observes your emotions....but is not changed by them.
The real you is eternal, outside of the illusion of space and time, and doesn't need a body or food or air or water or a planet or anything to "BE".
You will continue to "BE" your true self even if you lose all of your earth stuff (including your body that you are so worried about).
5) Happy dream...this might be where I am. I am now sure about the truth in my day-to-day life...sure I have to deal with everything that you have to deal with...
...but I already now that I will be happy when my head hits the pillow at night and I don't need any more fixing or improvement...I'm cookies!!!
(check out Buffy the Vampire Slayer...or if you don't want to...this is just a cute way of saying "I'm done".)
6) More levels after this that I will find as I go further inward on my journey back to the real me.
- Deep Sleep
- Dreaming
- Day-to-day Life
- Higher states of consciousness (meditation, cosmic, unity, Christ) there are more states then these.
You are familiar with the the first three:
1) Deep Sleep...practically unconscious...but not really.
2) Dreaming: You are a little more aware and thinking, but not moving your physical body.
