Existential Watermarks and the Slumbering Deity who Sleepwalks through our Lives

Dog Poet Transmitting.......

(My dear friends, if you can, would you please make a comment on this blog post? It might help us understand what is happening. I am only doing this in the hopes that readers will respond. If the reader has lost interest I need to know this so that I can move on to other things. I have probably said all I have to say 3 or 4 times now. So... if you will indulge me it would help me to chart my future actions. Although it only takes a certain amount of time to write these entries, they take up ancillary time all through the day. After hearing from readers on the subject at least a dozen times or more I am at work on my autobiography. Also two books of poetry are coming out and the musical tools necessary to record some of the albums that have been bouncing around are all in place. I haven't released an album since Mr. Apocalypse is coming. Let me hear from you. Of course I can still get it all done whether I do any more posts or not but if there is some kind of watermark in the cosmos about it I will demur.)

Goodness... they don't even try to mask their twisted agendas anymore, even when their arguments are composed of rank stupidity there they jolly well are.

How are you doing today, my friends? I have heard so many tales of woe in this present year that it seems absolutely so that many of us are being hammered on. We have been told in scriptures and inspired texts that the faithful will be tried to an extreme, in order to test the mettle of their faith. We are tossed into a cauldron of combustible experience, so that the gold can be extracted from the dross. The elements of our body are at war with each other. Sometimes the arrangement of our planets and stars are of a positive nature so that we get less suffering. Other times they are of a negative nature and there is more suffering. No doubt pedants can argue incessantly as to which of those two are of a greater beneficence. Perhaps less suffering grants us a greater opportunity to inquire into the spiritual aspect of our lives; but do people really invest themselves in this way when pleasure is of a greater consistency? Perhaps we are compelled to look into the spiritual aspect because of our greater suffering and thereby make larger strides toward true liberation.

I've had mostly the negative aspect insofar as my manifest life has progressed and certainly consideration of the divine has effectively become my go to perspective but... I was engaged in inquiries of this nature since I was a small child with no idea of what awaited me. The hidden side of life has always been the source of my most intense curiosity. It could be that the abuse was in operation since I drew my first breath and I was already being routed to the hidden side. You can turn the object around in your hands and look at it from every direction and not learn any more than what you didn't know to begin with.

I suppose that I am mostly puzzled by the fact that this world has continued to go on and on and on in the same state of confusion and disorder without anything really dramatic taking place. Surely there have been dire events like the Japanese tsunami and various earthquakes and hot spot wars. Surely the sexual wars have intensified and the evil that has been so long concealed as to its authors is disrobing front and center but still... still it just limps forward day after day, or it runs in place and seems to be moving like a treadmill so that forward and backward appear to be moving but are really running in place.

It just goes on and on. It's not like I am hoping for some dramatic event that will shock the world into a deeper awareness of its true nature. Hmmmm... I like the way that is phrased (grin). Seriously... as much as I would appreciate the residents of this planet awakening to the presence of their author within themselves and in everything in extension from them, I don't see that as being possible and then I am shunted into, “oh ye of little faith.” However, it seems that people are given that option in life which I define, in my own understanding, as being the power to resist or embrace the ineffable. To me that is the totality of what free will is and... nothing more.

That being a given (according to me), in this time of a powerful materialism in surround sound immersion, many, many souls have opted for the world and all of its cross dressing splendor. Of course I could be wrong but it seems to me as clear and certain as the sun in the sky above and even when it is hidden for some hours as the world turns and returns, there it is. There it is again.

Pondering this and other cycling riddles can make a person weary and cause them to be consumed in weltschmerz. Much as I have no use for Sartre, Foucault, Rand and others of their ilk, in their impoverished existentialism and fixation on anything that will keep them bound and protected against liberation and true freedom, at least they took the concepts to task, even if they came to their conclusions through force, in their denial of their true self, at least they had skin in the game and gave it a good run, albeit in the wrong direction.

I don't go off in any direction I please and then tell myself God is leading me. I go in no direction at all because the true path is the inward road and your teachers are those who best understood the space you found yourself at that particular moment and so the nature of the path and the personality of the teacher, change from one bus station to the next. Upon discovering that you were going in the wrong direction (Paul of Tarsus?) do not then engage in self flagellation or the idea of failure beyond the point of return. Turn in your steps and head off aright, inflamed and possessed of compelling desire to see yourself face to face, with no concern about which side of the mirror you are on.

You must strive to prove yourself convinced of the presence and the will of the divine. Following that, everything can be done with ease, because it is only our vacillating back and forth between belief and disbelief that impoverishes us over the long run. Speaking of which (because we were) it is good to keep in mind that Time has a different weight and speed, depending on its relation to whatever it is we are doing and wherever that may be. It's one thing on a beach somewhere and another in a prison cell. One of the first results of enlightenment is that Time is revealed to us in a remarkable manner. Time is in our heads. Eventually we discover that everything is in our heads and that we are the central character at every point and in every direction, once we have discovered who we are and releasing all the assumed postures we created as a protection against the discovery of our true self. Death takes on an entirely different meaning then.

The spiral stairway that we are ascending on disappears into clouds of luminosity, on the landings above and continue forever, as forever moves into more and more brilliant environments of ever more rarefied and detailed worlds. We need to believe with utter conviction that God is real and is in control of everything at all times and beyond the ascending clouds of light and the ever more and more impenetrable darkness below that we imagine we have evolved out of. I can hear the ineffable roaring in laughter, possibly at me, possibly at all of us and possibly because of his certainty that all will be well. At that time a few tears might fall as well because we are so close, far too close for it to take so long.

The Man on the Beach told me that God is sleeping and this is his dream. I had forgotten, for years that he had said that to me. It just came into my mind a few moments ago. Odd. Of course, I have heard this, expressed differently, as well as acutely in similar fashion. What this tells me is that we are all possessed of and performing roles that embody the moment in which we arrived here. If we are capable of falling backward into the pervasive self which sits behind every temporary role we play, we will learn all we ever need to know about Time and Dreams and states of being and how each state of being is measured and celebrated in the syncopated beat that applies to the state of being we are in.

Seek God with all the fervor and focus that you can muster. Seek God in each day and regardless of how ineffective you may have been in the past, seek God again the following day. Seek God in every minute, in every hour, in all the moments that it occurs to you that there is a God for you to seek after, because God is seeking after you, with more passion than you will ever muster and that should inspire you to do so. That should magnify and amplify your faith and conviction, to be in the awareness that God is seeking after you.

It may be a dream... but if God is sleeping, so many of us are sleeping too. Of course, God can create more in his dreams that we shall ever accomplish in full awareness.

Trust in God when everything's going wrong. Some Love lasts forever. Some Love lasts forever, our love most of all.

Almost seven billion people on the planet now. What do you suppose that means?

I haven't posted a comment for a couple of years now but I wanted to let you know that I never miss a blog. I decided that I was not the person to help them awaken so I took the position of the observer and it has worked out for me. I try to help those close when it is obvious they are in need but for the most part I keep my mouth closed.Thanks for keeping the blogs alive. I am sure that you have helped many more than you are aware.

Sorry to ask for more of your discretionary time, but I'm addicted to your posts. Love this one and the last couple that I didn't comment on, but hey! I worked 27 hours this last weekend, and reading them was all I could muster.

Until we get another dishwasher, my life is HELL. There's lots of dishwasher jobs, but who likes to work in a sauna that probably is about 110°, get scalded 10 times a day, spend all day cursing the fact they can't trilocate, since ya gotta sink wash 'em, put 'em through the dishwasher machine of 180° water and stack 'em on a cart, carry the incredibly hot plates, cookwear, or whatever to where they belong, not to mention schlep the full trays back to your area when you have the time, though staff will bring you loaded carts of trays when you just can't do it. All this for poverty level wages. I'm feelin' like a Dalit, here. I don't make half as much as I used to when I was a senior lettershop inserter.

Vis, there has been a pronounced uptick in other 'alt' sites being messed-with; why should yours be the exception? (Cue the disappearing comments...) The bad-guy side of all-God also has a psychological profile on you, so they know just where to jab for best effect...

(An interesting experience today: From my bedroom window, I have a good view of the sky. Love the cloud artistry. Today, one cloud seemed different. I had Higher Self probe into it, and there was something/somebody 'present'. HS literally said "Hi there" to him/her/it. And a conversation took place, which Ray could not access. Interesting...)

Best Wishes,

"My friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation." (1 Peter 4:12-13)

"You will be hated by everyone on account of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. He who overcomes will be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the Ecclesia: to the one who is victorious, I will grant the right to eat of the tree of life in the paradise of God." (Matt 10:22; Rev 3:5; 2:7).

Asil; I am sorry about that, I've been searching high and low for a solution. Finally The Elf figured it out. I don't have enough left brain apparently. Hopefully things will return to the same abnormal that passes for normal here.

Visible said...

Many thanks to all of you for your heartfelt commentary. I realize now that it wasn't people backing off but people being unable to get in. God bless you one and all. It fills my heart to hear you speak well of what takes place here. To me there is no greater joy than service.

Dear Visible,

I am among those for whom your words do not fall on deaf ears. I love reading your posts, if you ever stop we will survive so long as the elf creates a compendium. Every single post is utterly re-read able. Maybe forever... so many layers only some can 'hit' at a given moment.

You know, there is a nice music scene where I live.

"Thank you for your service"
I am a long time reader of your blogs which has helped me greatly to navigate the ups and downs of my life with more clarity then I had ever thought possible the times you speak of the exact things I am pondering make me smile and know I am not alone and there is still hope for the many lost souls if they would just think and then look inward for the true answers they are there

But then again "I Don't Know" ;)

May the Lord be with YOU Forever and Ever

"Almost seven billion people on the planet now. What do you suppose that means?"

For me, it means too much "Procreation"; FAR TOO MUCH. It indicates a cavalier attitude towards life. What else is knew? Each new pregnancy heralds another death as well. Some knowingly bring an infant into a sweltering world of starvation. Others are handing their toddlers tablets and getting them online ASAP. All bets are off. All explanations are off. What "god" requires child abuse? What "god" lays out his alleged doctrine but does nothing to stop those who come in his name only to abuse children? What "god" requires spinal bifida, cerebral palsy, and epileptic seizures? To test the "mettle" of a being who can't even comprehend the misery he is in. All explanations to justify this borders on Stockholm Syndrome.

But as Monty Pythons Flying Circus once said;
"I think that all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not and I'm sick and tired of being told that I am!"

Dear Visible,
I rarely have time to go online, much less comment, but I'm always there.
You have shown me, us, so many sparkling, glowing orbs of universal wisdom that are infinitely superior to all the worlds shiniest objects combined. I continue to be grateful for every word and feeling you heve conveyed to us, and have been sending you prayers for what you have been going through. For a while now you have been bringing a significant manifestation of one of my life's philosophies......when the finder is ready, the marbles will appear. Blessings, blessings...... Linda

My god!!! Thank you people, I never expected anything like this. Surely the ineffable is at work in many souls. I had no clue that so many people I have not seen before would show up in this way. "Oh mercy, mercy me!"

Matt; I will be there in coming months, bringing my Martin and my tunes.

Once again, people (gods in the making) Thank you so much. This is a convincing display.

Visible said...

I should mention (I forgot earlier due to my mind being blown by so many people commenting; the divine told me that there were many more people out there who liked our work but I just didn't know about it because they don't say anything. Dear Friends, I am so very VERY grateful that you have taken this time to reassure me. I shall increase my efforts within the spectrum of possibilities available to me.

Les, what ever you do please don’t stop writing. I hang on to every word of yours. I stumbled across you during a dark time and your perspective and sincerity resonated with me. I am a long-time seeker of truth in all forms, but your approach to the ineffable (grin) [I love that word] has been quite a lesson for me that keeps expanding in my mind and soul the more I reflect on him. Your so rds have weight and good intention. I’m picking up your transmissions and sincere vibes.

I hope some day to meet you. I’d even like to send you money, but don’t like using the internet. Perhaps one day we can meet up, muse on the ineffable and play a little music.

Hello Les,
Bill C. here to let you know that I look forward to your blogs. When you are on a temporary hiatus I usually find out your writing again by your unusual headline on The Truthseeker.
I know all you write is inspired though the time in the barrel you had was written from pain and possibly sublime anger. I knew it was you because only you would continue to bear witness to our creator, lover and all -God!!
I noticed the comment sections were '0' comments and knew you were being messed with by the incessant trolls tat stalk the internet and like hyenas prey, en mass, on those they feel are weakened. My heart and prayers went out to you then and even now.
All things work out in 'God's Time', as referred to be me in a lot of cases ,even when late for whatever appointment or commitment.
Good to see you back in form and I never tire of you showing reverence for out HP who loves us beyond measure!! There are so many instances of my HP's presence throughout the day that I take note of and use to tell other people of like mind about how grateful I AM for my/our HP's grace, benevolence and consideration with my life.
I'll end here and thank you for all you do, who you are and most importantly what you stand for. God Bless you, your family and your friends. Love you Les!!!
Sincerely Bill C.
P.S.
A link for your perusal and anyone else that may be interested, but first a ditty that means more today than when I sang it as a child: Row, Row, Row your boat gently down the stream, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life is but a Dream!!!

Thank you Les for your insight and abilities to word them as you do. Years ago I was one of the many that dreamed of a commune located in a tropical paradise listening to you in voice and music. I drift away, but keep coming back. You still inspire me and I am stronger for it. I am beginning to see the God in me.

Could the almost seven billion people on the planet mean that the "knowledge" is coming soon? Since seven is such an important number having to do with patterns? I don't know just wondering.
