If we accept the idea that All That Is is everything, and we are all All That Is, we are everything— then doesn't that cause a kind of meltdown when we view things from duality perspective, particularly the good and bad thing?

Think of the most annoying or aggravating thing somebody else does. This would mean, we are that, too. How does that feel? The person who is an intimidator— we are that, too. I dunno about you, but I had a hard time with this one, accepting "negative" things, and I'm not saying I've mastered it all yet.

I think this is why "past life recall" seems to help people become more centered— when they see they've been the murdered and also the murderer, so-called victim and so-called perp, lifetime after lifetime after lifetime, it probably takes the sting out of it. :)

When we disown things/ scenarios/ behavior and say "I am not that" it seems to push it "out there" to be acknowledged, usually with less-than-preferable results for personality/ focus and the usual wants & then we can't figure out why things are the way they are. 'cause we're fracturing ourselves. We think we're sitting inside the yin/yang symbol on the "good" side and we're refusing to be "bad," even trying to wipe out the "bad," instead of backing up and seeing the whole unit, the whole Is.

"I am _expression itself. wait a second I'm not that war thing, I don't want that, that needs to change, that's bad." hmm.

When I was little, people used to say if we criticize someone else that's because we don't like that thing in ourself, and I looked inside me and couldn't find those things I really didn't like— but my I (eye) was too small, definition too small. One separate unit could possibly have these qualities and not those, maybe, in an active state anyway, but we are not separate. We are dynamic transformational existence, we are All That Is. We are the "bad" stuff, too. And as long as we refuse to be something, no matter what it is, that is denying a portion of self. Nothing wrong with that of course, but personally I'm ready to stop pushing everything away.

Then we get to deliberate creating— personality says that infinite possibilities means all options exist so I ought to be able to live in the world of my preference-- and yeah that works some of the time but not all the time, and why not dangit?!? That's why I brought in the triggers, (the teachers, thanks :) ) because something wasn't clicking and needed to. It seems total personal preference comes in after we own it all, and all is a lot bigger than I thought. lol Meanwhile I had figured before that if I owned being All That Is, what the heck use would I have for preference THEN?! Sure, be everything and THEN be able to materialize whatever on purpose, when you don't even care anymore. big deal. I wanted my preference NOW.

but I guess the idea is not to blip out of the individual personality/ focus and be All, undifferentiated ...although I guess that's some people's idea of a good time. Idea for me anyway is to embrace All, at least as much as I can fathom of it, and be individual, and embrace me— even and especially aspects I would have judged, and I'm finding that judgment thing permeated a lot more areas than I thought. I imagine the sphere just keeps getting bigger, and I am anticipating seeing more of what I couldn't see before, while sitting in wonder in my now. And to see beneath the idea of what I thought I wanted to what I'm actually creating for myself to look at— which is what I really wanted— each moment & say "what is this showing me about myself, how does this serve me, exactly as it is?"

(Since the inside is the outside, it doesn't matter now if we're talking embracing aspect as in facet of All, the "other" person, or if we're talking personality aspect within one's own individual self, because they're the same thing. One's just been crystalized, so to speak.)

And of course this doesn't mean stand in front of the rampaging elephant because we're both God. Or even put up with less-than-respectful behavior. Unless that sort of thing trips your trigger. Just because it's Divine and we are That, doesn't mean we always want to keep playing with that aspect of it. We can embrace that we are something and choose not to continue to experience that something in our individual daily illusion. :) I mean reality. :) That can be a toughy, too. Unconditional love begins with self. ...still realizing that the consequences of going with inner desire/ impulse/ soul (against my perspective of expectations) don't have to be what I assumed they might, and once again the universe supports me when I step out on my joy.

as always, my pov, feel free to flush, this is as of this Fri Morn, subject to change without notice, yadda yadda yadda
