Spiritual Being Creates Bodily Doing
|
We ask ourselves “How do I react to this?" “What did I do before?" “How am I doing this?" “Why are they doing this to me?" “Where should I do this?" We spend our lives doing this in response to one event and doing that in response to another event. It would behoove us to understand what all this doingness is about. It all makes sense to place a supreme importance on doingness if we are living unconsciously in the world of separation and fear. When you live within the paradigm of fear you believe that you are a separate entity and you have to look out for yourself. You are basically a body and you are competing against all the other bodies to win at the game of life while you are alive and gain entrance into heaven when you die. How this happens depends on what you do to reach these goals. Your five sensory receptors receive data from external stimuli and you then decide what you are going to do to re-act to those stimuli. If you do the right thing you win or gain advantage (points), and if you do the wrong thing you are penalized. Your actions however, are always to do something in re-action to what's happening. You understand that “doingness" is a function of the body. This is because “doing" is external. “Doing" something can be measured in the relative world to give us a gauge as to whether or not we are achieving our desired results. And this is how it should be. If we do something, then we have made a decision not to do another thing. It's a trade off. The great thing about it is if we choose to do one thing and it doesn't work for us, we always have the option to choose again and do something else. Unless, of course, our ego steps in and tells us that we must stick to our original choice no matter what. So in the paradigm of separation and fear the body rules. We have been conditioned to believe that the best way to manifest (create) what we want is by having something so that we can do the things it takes to be some aspect of ourselves. It is a have-do-be system of creating. A system of creating by reacting. This system tells us that if we can have a thing, such as material wealth (money), then we can do the things (such as go to Disneyland) and then we can be what we want in life (happy). So the best thing to do in this mentality is to buy lottery tickets. Does this system of creation sound familiar to you? Have you ever longed for something because you know in your heart that if you possessed it you could gain the feeling in your soul that you desire? This system should sound familiar because we have been conditioned from the earliest age to believe it. We are constantly bombarded with the same messages day after day, by a consumer created society, which tells us we need to have all these things being pushed on us. If we have the latest cell phone, we can call our friends and be communicating with them. If we have the newest diet soda, we can lose the weight and be attractive and active. If we have the new purple pill, we will eliminate our anxiety and be healthy again. If we have the gas guzzling 4x4 SUV, then we can get there in style and be successful. This method of creating keeps us in a constant state of want and produces a lot of anxiety along the way. It is a system that is totally fear based because we are constantly consumed with the fear of loss if we don't have what it takes to achieve our desires. If we keep losing at this contest we don't make points in the game of life, and we are in serious jeopardy when it comes time to tally our points for entry into heaven. It emphasizes the point that “doingness" is a function of the body but it never takes into account how this state of doingness comes about. It never goes to the core question of why are you doing what you are doing? It never sees the connection between what you are being and what you end up doing. The ultimate truth, of course, is that your beingness creates your doingness. About The Author: Richard Blackstone is an award winning author and international speaker on Love, Oneness & Creation.
