Dog Poet Transmitting.......
Slowly it passes and the mind turns in apprehension of whatever might be waiting in the wings. Sometimes when one has had a series of critical and painful experiences, it becomes gun-shy and flinching; “not again!” the mind whispers from the dark corners of its unknowing state. The fear seeks a command post, where it can seek to hinder the the posture of faith that has carried one through all of the vicissitudes and blindside assaults from the never was childhood to the present state, which I think is presently resident here.
Loving God would seem to be an easy affair, given the deeper esoteric meanings and spiritual rewards that are the fruit of a diligent and consistent devotion to the practice of it. However, in tandem with the sincere effort to make this the centerpiece of one's life comes degrees of suffering that can challenge even the most steadfast faith. When the ineffable sees that the petitioner is dedicated to the performance of a true and committed love, the divine puts some amount- sometimes a significant amount of suffering upon the seeker. This can be an egregious experience for any of us and can even lead to a departure from ones attempts to make the ineffable paramount in their affections and overall focus. I can speak with authority on this matter. It has been a consistent challenge throughout my life and never more so than this year. There were times when I threw up my metaphorical and literal hands in a state of near despair; not knowing what was up or down and what I might be doing wrong, meanwhile realizing that I did not have to be doing anything wrong for this to happen to me because it comes with the territory.
Now there has been a cessation of the routine torments (they have become routine over the course of recent months) and that is welcome and I am grateful for it, given that my pain medications have run out and I must continue on faith and trust in the hope that these bouts of pain and suffering have come to an end. Failing in that I can only hope that it will all stay in remission until the end of the week, when I see a new internal medicine practitioner who might have an answer to the primary source of my difficulties. It causes me a great deal of helpless wonder at the presence of such pain, given that the offending organ was removed and yet the bouts of physical distress have been more frequent and intense than they ever were before the organ was removed.
I am more convinced than ever before at the import of the words of the Buddha; “all life is pain caused by ignorant desire.” I feel as if my desires have been mostly for the presence of God but no doubt there have been other targets of attention on my part. When the ineffable sees that one is determined to achieve union with God, the ineffable sets up conditions of suffering to break every attachment to the material realm. This is the reason that those seekers after the divine are put into difficult and painful circumstances. They are meant to free us from the thrall of the hypnotizing world and the dream web of Maya.
Once one has had a glimpse of the supernal realm there is no going back. Everything has lost its taste and savor. A yearning emptiness manifests in the heart of the seeker and nothing can satisfy it but the presence of the ineffable within. As one continues and as one is consistent in their meditation upon the completion of it, the indwelling residence moves toward a reality in this effort. Though we think that we play a part in the completion of it, it is all the work of the ineffable. Our only contribution is the maintenance of openness and a willingness for it to occur. In Italy... now about six or seven years ago, the divine finally began to speak back to me. Previously it had been mostly a one sided affair, except when I was engaged in the use of psychedelics. From this point on the ineffable began to reply and since that time it has occurred more and more.
The first thing the ineffable said to me was, “rely on me”. He said this over and over, especially on my walks through the countryside. Over and over, I heard, “rely on me, rely on me”. At other times, Mr. Apocalypse would appear and tell me what he had planned for future times. On reflection I see that Mr. Apocalypse and the ineffable were just different aspects of the same force.
A few years ago, the ineffable said, “I am going to come into you now. At points it might be very startling for you because your awareness is going to open up into a wider and wider panorama of view and being. It will not be painful or fear inducing, it simply involves you, more and more engaged with ever widening vistas, as if you were ascending a mountain or finding yourself on a mesa with a previously unseen vastness of perspective.
As time passed I heard more and more about the ineffable taking up residence within. Finally... a couple of months ago, the ineffable (according to his own words) arranged for my seclusion from my usual day to day. I could not understand why this had happened and I was afraid I had had a serious break with reality (insofar as I have any idea what that is) because I saw and experienced things that I had NEVER experienced before. Given that we are talking about me, those experiences proved to be dramatic indeed. Then, on the fifth day that I was in this place of confinement, The great master came to me and told me that my present state had been arranged for the purpose of our conversation. Amazing things were said to me and vivid images were provided as an accompaniment. I will not provide any details on what god said because they were so powerful and over the top in terms of anything I had ever heard before that I think it best that it be kept to myself. If it proves to be true it will be self evident, otherwise I will look the fool in a big way (not that that would be the first time). I do not doubt what I was told. Such things have happened for others who have made the ineffable the sole focus of their life, or rather the greater focus over all other possibilities. However, the details are truly fantastic. I've been told certain things all of my life without most of them coming to fruition so far but I have also been told that the time was not at hand. I've since been told, finally, that the time is fast approaching.
Because I have been engaged in both healing and intense suffering, I have not been able to operate in my usual pursuits. I've found myself in front of the television, both for the purpose of distraction and because the baseball playoffs are imminent and football season has come. Whatever some of the readers may think, I have an interest in these contests, however mundane they may be in reality (whatever that is). This has caused me to be exposed to commercials to some extent, though I mute them generally. I still see what is being presented and it has caused me no small amount of distress at having to view the level of crass materialism and profane appetite that is rampant in the world at this moment. I have spent so little time exposed to this because it was off in some peripheral location and I was paying little attention to it, except when I am out in a shop or a supermarket and wasn't seeing it the way I presently am. It is horrifying. My heart is troubled by the spiritual fate I see awaiting those who are captivated by the things and attractions of this world.
Some of the readers may have a different view of this, or be experiencing it in a less severe manner. I can only speak to my own perspective in the matter. I am filled with a sense of dread for those so caught up in the illusions and delusions of the world as it presently exists in its crass state of materialism. I wonder at the soul's journey as it leaves this realm and enters into the judgment of the place between incarnations. I find it hard to put into words, what appears in the metaphysical mind's eye. For some reason, I am seeing conditions and the increments of movement as the soul leaves the temporary anchorage of this plane. It is as if I can enter into the emotional and mental postures of those whose focus has been on the material plane and the sexual encounters and depravities that the world of the moment is heir to. It is truly chilling. I cannot articulate the colors and sounds that interplay in my mind as I watch the soul's passage from the dead marshes of the world of the moment, to that place where the soul is put before that particular mirror and must pass judgment upon itself. This is the best I can do. Let me say in conclusion, it has had a deep and profound effect on me and I desire greatly that somehow I might communicate the severity and intensity of what I had seen to those I have observed passing through it.
This is the time of the harvesting of souls and I fear, from my observations, that all too few are being passed upward. One has only to take a moments objective look at the world in its urban dances to see what I am talking about (this includes every area from the rustic and densely populated).
I don't want to be passing judgment when my own perspective is so limited because it is often viewed through a personal lens but I know that any life one is engaged in is taken into consideration; serious consideration for the next life to come. So often I hear some uninformed individuals prefacing a comment with, “well, you only live once”. That is truly one of the more obtuse statements I have encountered and- for whatever the reason- I have been hearing it a lot, compared to what I have heard in times past.
My dear friends, I have written on what has been passing through my heart and mind in recent times. I claim no deep and lingering authority on any of these subjects. This is just how it has appeared to me and continues in every following place and location in the same way. I pray that you are putting your hearts and minds upon the ineffable to the exception of every other possibility of engagement and observation. Be stalwart and be strong. Be committed and be true and remember; “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.”

Les's Lamentation
What to do - What to do
I'm hopeful - thank you for the inspiration
Dog Bless Les
Vis, a deep and thoughtful blog. Thank you, and glad you appear to be on the mend.
On the cleaning-out and clearing-out (sometimes) needed to regain connection with the ineffable: Several decades back, I had met a very enlightened being. I had indicated that I wanted to go as far/high as I could this lifetime. Not long after, a strange thing happened. My whole body got incredibly painful, right to the edge of my being able to bear it. Then, literally hundreds of times, this happened: I 'became' another person, right at the end of their life. Full sensations. Then, 'I' died and experienced-through that person's dying process. Then, that person was received somewhere and left me. Repeat, until it tapered-off a week or so later. (Interestingly, a few were not human.) In retrospect, that was higher-me catching up to the present - bringing-forward all the me's that still had unprocessed 'stuff'. Cleaning the window, so to speak. (Fortunately, I had had enough spiritual training that I was aware of what was going on, rather than just freaking-out and reporting-in to a hospital.)
On the ineffable (or its instruments) supporting you when needed: A couple decades back, I was briefly on Kauai and wanted to body surf. So, I fought my way out through the crashing surf. Tiring. Then, when I wanted to body-surf back, a different current took me away from the beach. Two thoughts came up: I was stupid to tire myself out so much. And I might die out here. As soon as those realizations hit me, a second current came up and pushed me back to shore. Thank you...
However, a caution: We can expect - due to Biblical upbringing - that we have to go through suffering to win our way through. Born a sinner, and all that crap. This is darksider propaganda. All-God loves us. As one example, a ladyfriend of a few decades back wanted a new car. So, she did all the 'envisioning' needed to bring it forward; to manifest it. It worked, but in an unexpected fashion. She was rear-ended at a stop light, hurt her back, and the payoff got her a new car. I had this intuitive-knowing that the ladyfriend felt she needed to 'earn' the new car through suffering; not because she just deserved it. So, that was how it manifested. The upshot is that we have to be careful to find-out how badly we have been programmed during growing-up. Not only thoughts but also emotions (including deeply-ingrained ones) go into any manifestation. And we are all manifestors (channeling God), conscious or not. Don't make it harder than it needs to be...
Best Wishes,
Ray B.
Peace be with you Les,
It is harvest time @judgmenttime

"The effects of karma may be very old indeed. We are suffering or enjoying the results of our activities from time immemorial, but we can change the results of our karma, or our activity, and this change depends on the perfection of our knowledge."
1)Isvara (God)
2)Jiva (individual soul/living entity)
3)Prakrti (nature/material energy)
4)Time (past/present/future)
5)Karma (karma/vikarma/akarma)
Of the five items four are eternal, whereas Karma is not eternal.
Home run Visible!
We are all blessed to get to experience our brothers' victory over self through a golden wordsmith!

Timely sharing Ray!
We are all carrying more baggage than necessary, some of us out of guilt others out of duty but all unhealed pain is dead weight.
Our power to manifest is hindered by non integrated parts of our selves not being able to participate in the dream weaving because of shame, blame or no name.
Before we are shown ourselves worthy (if that is even possible!) we are protected and buffered by this limiter on our creative power, the delayed manifestation allows less disastrous learning.
However, we are in the now when we need to grow into our true selves.
Along with that process comes the power to manifest insights from the Divine to displace the hand-me-down, sadness-inducing "creations" which all willing devil's advocates fill the world with to obscure the beauty of Creation.
Knowing this is one aspect; facing the pain, owning the lifetime of errors to address it is another facet to be understood...
If we wish to play the Creator's Way, we must learn to play with less and less limitations, not more and more of our mind's requirements for sanity.
Call me crazy but sanity in a corrupted world is overrated and possibly fatal...
Kiss an authority figure in an era when they are kinda like jerks? Probably why the entire command based system rubbed people like Nietzsche the wrong way. If - Then commands in a world already full of If - Then commands. It's more like, sorry but I am just too busy to comply with additional commands.

Reminds of The Monkey's Paw, only backward.
Lovely post, as usual. As for, 'in between incarnations', I think I've HAD it with this cesspit. I quit after this round. I've already had the 'mirror' and 'self-judgement' thing when I was 17 during the most botched suicide attempt one could do. It was so embarrassing to reflect upon, me thinks I'll keep the details to myself, but I did get in contact with the Otherside, so all was not wasted. I'll say I did my worst when I was a crotch dropping under 12, and those moments were instigated by peer pressure. (Well, I'm still a crotch dropping, not having been a C-section, but hey. After all, once a crotch dropping, always a crotch dropping.) Of course I did a few things I wish I hadn't when I was 'technically' and adult, but meh. Curiosity, temporary insensitivity due to sheer ignorance, and the desire to be as weird as possible can be a double edged sword some times. All I can say is I won't do it again. I'm just glad everything survived my past indiscretions with no injury. Let's just say I was a complete bastard when I was in my 20s in some regards.
Well, maybe not. I saved more critters than I antagonised by twenty fold at least, even then.
Dear Vis,
So glad you are back at the keyboard sharing your perspective on our common journey of returning to source with your magnificent wordsmithing. In the time of your absence I was treating myself to the discources of Rumi among other real philosophers and I am tempted to share a little piece of him to you and your readers. This piece is from discource number 31, from the site little known publications.
... When Uthman became caliph, he stepped up into the pulpit. The people waited to see what he would say. He was silent and said nothing. He looked steadily at the people, and a state of ecstasy descended upon them so that they were unable to move, and could not tell where they were. Not by a hundred preachings and sermons could such an excellent state have been shown to them. Precious lessons were imparted and secrets revealed. Until the very end, he only looked at them like this, not saying a word. Then, just before leaving the pulpit, he said, “It is better for you to have a working Imam than a speaking Imam.” ....
Hope you remain painfree and highspirited for as you say there is a lot coming our way and I wouldnt like that to happen without your commentary. You are truly loved for doing what you do for the rest of us struggling on the same path.
How does one observe "souls passing?" Why does "upward" imply "good"? Is the alleged process of reimbodiment after death just making things worse? What kind of "god" punishes people for alleged crimes they don't even remember committing? Is this "god" worthy of worship...and why would it require worship? Can I just ignore a child starving on the street who can't even articulate his pain? He's just paying his karmic debts, right? All we're left with is words, mere words. As NOBODY knows what is truly going on. What else can man do but "deify" the alleged significance of his pain in a Jesus Christ pose.
Your words resonate deeply again , I agree with what you say. Your writing is helpful and healing on a deep level. Love and best wishes to you, and more . Many thanks.
Dear Visible!
Time was when I was cavalier about pain and my ability to take it better than anyone. Not now, no way, it's bloody terrifying. I feel you. We have an opiod epidemic but YOU can't have any... Super. Pulling for you sir. I want to be excited about the times we live in.

torus, interesting post
To anonym, not to sound selfish, but maybe not having all you can eat opioid buffet isn't such a bad thing...
Opioids, being a frequent cause of premature bodily obsolescence
torus,
This world is a holographic teaching tool for co-creators. Each individual’s karma is specifically tailored to provide the journey necessary to move towards conscious evolution. Those who get trapped in the physical side of creation suffer because they prefer to pursue their physical lusts and desires rather than follow the spiritual journey provided, which leads to eternal life . This world was not created to punish but rather teach and correct, and to protect co-creators from their fellow co-creators who wish to visit harm upon them. Karma is an automatic correction function. What better way to teach and restore cosmic harmony than to put each of us at the mercy of our own actions?
Individuals become trapped in ‘a groundhog day’ when neither victim can overcome and forgive the other, because forgiveness is required to stop perpetuating the cycle. The victims of despots love the kind of God who sees to it that those who are too powerful to be held accountable in this world will one day be at the mercy of their own actions, even if it takes a million life times. This is why some Buddhist monks sweep a broom from side to side across their path as they walk, so they don’t even harm ants. They are well aware of the nature of the world in which they live, only the blind in this world are oblivious to the harm they cause their self when they harm others, which is why the golden rule is do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Creation is a simulator that allows us to achieve self mastery, or it is a corrective tool that punishes us for trying to change the world to accommodate ourself. We are either guided by the Holy Spirit to self mastery and freedom, or we are deceived by our ego into controlling others and enslaved.
'What kind of "god" punishes people for alleged crimes they don't even remember committing?’ The type of God that takes justice and protecting his/her people very seriously. After all, how could God be worthy of worship if God allowed the rape and murder of innocent babies and slaughter of innocent victims without far reaching consequences for the perpetrators?
Contrary to ignoring the suffering of others God calls his/her people to minister to the hungry, thirsty, and down trodden - Matthew 25:53-40, which is why Christ Jesus told his followers to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbour as ourself - Matthew 22:36-40. God does not cause suffering in this world, Man’s lusts, desires and selfishness does. Those who prefer to be kings in hell rather than servants in Heaven are the main cause of all of the suffering in this world. People who hate God, hate humanity, because they hate their self, and they hate their self because they see the truly heinous things they are capable of. Good people love God and humanity because they see the goodness within their self, and the good things they are capable of.
'What else can man do but "deify" the alleged significance of his pain in a Jesus Christ pose?' One can use the the model Christ Jesus provided to utilise their pain in such a way as it burn away their own personal dross, and through this inner alchemical process they raise their vibration high enough to reconnect with the Holy Spirit, which is the entrance ticket required to return to the higher realms within Creation. This is why ‘upward' is implied as ‘good’, because it is only through rising to meet the Holy Spirit, by embracing the 7 virtues, that one is able to move forward on their evolutionary journey.
'As NOBODY knows what is truly going on.' THOSE WHO HOUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON, because unlike the blind and deaf, who are ruled by their ego, they commune with that which created all of existence, so they have eyes which see and ears that hear!
From a NOBODY who truly does know what is going on.
Gene L; I don't know if this is where you left your comment on relying on God to fix all your injuries and not relying on the medical community and pharmaceuticals. Do you expect that God would have knitted together my broken hip that needed to be replaced and that I erred in having that taken care of the way I did, or that God would have handled some amount of broken bones simply through faith? I do not doubt that that is possible were one in Elijah's consciousness but otherwise it seems puerile to me. I've no desire to be offensive, even when I am offended, which is sometimes the case but I think common sense goes a long way in terms of what one does. Advice is easy to give, until such time as one realizes it is often based on a sense of abstract distance from the point under consideration and rarely applies to the person giving it. Love,
visible
Aggressive Truth
Hi Les, I know time is a factor when words
written now for me are past, and for you the Future. I broke your notion of time. Do you remember the text when I wrote from the Book of judges at the beginning. Judges 7:9:11
During that night, Jehovah said to him: “Get up, attack the camp, for I have given it into your hand.+ 10 But if you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp with Puʹrah your attendant. 11 Listen to what they say, and afterward you will have the courage* to attack the camp.” At that he and Puʹrah his attendant went down to the edge of the encamped army.
This text I write 3 years ago maybe more , and all the time I Listen what they say . This will give you a lot of thinking Gentlemen. No one can say that it does not happen. Time is more than you think. I know that you do not understand, but I do not care if your generation will Understand. The next is Important. Just Time. It is the Lamb of God who will destroy forever the sin of the world.

Re: #16
The way things are now, I'd rather spend all my time in my 'Nose Cave'; living in my virtual world, though that is not an option.
Now if only we could manage to win something from PCH. . . (Yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Well, actually we have; but $10.00 isn't quite enough to live on.)
Opioids shut down metabolism, however, if the doctors attempts to force Haldol crypto-euthanasia it is better to go with the opioids (if for some reason you are forced to take meds). It is best to go without meds as much as you can. I'm not by any means anti-meds, in fact, someone that knows my Noodle meds rather too well. Most of em do suck btw, oftentimes unforeseen ways you would not expect.
Aggressive Truth; when you assume that you are the only enlightened one and communicate with gargled incoherent old testament gibberish. It makes it very difficult for anyone to reach you as you live in a world of your own creation and also happen to be wrong about most things. I don't care if you understand this or not. Further proof of when someone doesn't know what they are talking about is when they threaten and use imprecations whenever anyone else is not servile or cretinous. By this time it appears clear that you will never hear others. You only hear the imaginary voices in your head. I know this to be true because I am spoken to by luminous beings and they don't use the kind of language and reactions that you use. Try to be well. Someone will eventually talk to you about being marooned on your own planet.
What happens when psychosis makes you see things that are actually there but maybe you never noticed before? Perhaps that depends on to what extent they are manifested in the mundane Noodle state. There's always a hyper dimensional portal waiting for us in the mundane objects of every day life just waiting to suck us into them in various ways depending on the State of the Noodle. No, I'm not currently psychotic. But you don't necessarily have to be either.
Outlasting happiness... Or a happiness that lasts, and will never let you down?
Maybe sort of.
