IcerocketWe all stumble through life attracting confusion and disorder. Often we fail to understand three important characteristics of disorder;
1./ Without exception, all disorder we experience we have brought to ourselves.
2./ Each experience of disorder begs us to take ownership.
3./ Each experience will contain an opportunity to learn a lesson. In so doing, transcend the need to revisit similar lessons.
Beyond Deception: 
Often we fail to realise how obstacles presented in our lives are lessons subconsciously invited into the realm of personal experience. By failing to accept the true causation of " bad experiences ", we feel the need to cast blame. Once we use blame to redirect the energy of lessons we doom ourselves to be revisited by similar disorder.
The essence of this concept is to experience our world as a synchronized dance in loving oneness with all beings. Your brother who causes you distress and harm has been brought to your door, by you, so that you may discover your true self.
From this perspective we determine there is no need to cast blame or place judgment. Instead, we accept each experience as a gift; with love, appreciation and thanks. Left in the rubble is the darkness of the ego; blame, judgment, need and fear. In it's place we find compassion, respect, tolerance, sharing, understanding and, most importantly, love. Application of this understanding is profound, allowing us the opportunity to become more graceful and loving. Moreover, it affords us the capacity to live a longer, richer life.
So why does humanity express such an incomprehension of this truth? Why do we continue to live without grace in a state of such disorder?
We have been programmed by society, media, church, education and government to experience life as an island. People have been taught to believe they are caught in a struggle for survival against a cruel and unjustified world. A Darwinian world, where only the strongest have a right to survive. The promotion of such damaging dogma enslaves the potential of the individual.
As applied to disorder, we should offer love and acceptance for each opportunity to learn. We instead see an attack which needs to be eradicated or rebuffed. As a result of manufactured ignorance our society places itself in a constant state of disorder from which there seems no relief.
Lets quickly look at how this can be applied to day to day life. Think of something you deem a common annoyance, look for the lesson. Love and accept the lesson, then leave it behind. Once you have learned the lesson you will find a pearl of wisdom for you and others to share.
By example, I always ( still do ) have had a problem with bad service and long checkout lines. This manifests itself in my life regularly, if I go into a checkout I will almost always find myself in the slowest line. The lesson is obvious, I need to apply more patience in my life, I need to slow down. As well I would benefit from accepting the fact many employees are not happy in their work, as a result they will inevitably perform poorly. Instead of offering resistance to the lesson I need to offer love and acceptance.
After consideration I discovered that these " bad experiences " were really just bad choices. I found that instead of choosing emotions of frustration and anger I could just as easily choose compassion and love for the teller. Just by making a fundamental change in perspective I could use this " bad experience " as an opportunity to add more love in my life and that of those around me.
I experience that when I refocus my energy to embrace love I always feel free, content and invigorated.
As I identify better with this lesson I find I am visited much less often. I see it first as a gentle reminder to refocus on life beyond illusion. Secondly, and more importantly, I see clearly how all disorder in my life is really a dance of beautiful perfection.
How we perceive our reality becomes a foundation for the experience we call life. We change the world one person at a time, beginning with ourselves. As our species learns to identify with our true spiritual nature we will release disorder with the application of compassion, unity and love.
In Lak'ech, my brethren, from disorder we find perfection and love...

A consideration...

I like to think of it as going both ways. I find we create the world around us as much as it creates us.
For example: I was born into a family and an environment where I was given the opportunity to think for myself, to think openly and to have compassion for others. I've grown up to be who I am, and I find myself on Evolver. I have been taught and I have had the opportunity to discover tools for bringing order into my life.
Someone else was born in a war torn country, where they witness death, violence and atrocities. This person lives a very different life, and does not have the same opportunities that I have had. This person doesn't have the internet, or books about spirituality, philosophy, consiousness, psychedelics or any of that.
Is this person responsible for the disorder in his/her life?
Namaste Wind fox...
— Jun 21, 2010
Thank you for your comments WindFox. I am sure that many evolvers would read your comments and agree, lol I can almost see the heads nodding. The jist of your comment asks, how could someone who is born in a savage environment have chosen such an existence?
Lets extend that thought; how could someone who is raped be the causation of the experience? Or take it to it's greatesy personified extention; how could the millions of Jews be the causation of their mass extermination at the hands of the Nazi Regime?
Such hideous acts are the most difficult to assimilate when considering the dance of synchronicity. The confusion people experience visa vis synchronicity is promulgated by the inability of individuals to see beyond illusion. To see clearly we must break free of the following illusions; separation, time/space, death, physicality, good/bad, right/wrong.
The illusion of separation tells us that we are many, each of us an individual. The truth beyond that illusion Wind fox is that truly we are one. Your brother who starves in war torn Ethiopia is you, you are he.
The illusion of time/space encourage many to believe in time as a linear flow. The truth beyond this illusion is that time is an eternal moment of NOW.
The illusion of death and birth are third dimentional expressions of the illusion of time. Often people confuse their body with their essence, as a result they fear death and experience need. Remember Wind fox, you are not a body, you are truly eternal consciousness, we are ONE.
The illusion of physicality; it is common for people to define their existence by the perceived lifespan of their body. Advancements in physics, biology, astronomy and quantum reality have laid at our feet undisputable evidence that our world is a matrix of energy. Moreover science has undeniably defined our perception of physical reality to be an illusuion. In addition to this, ancient texts, great philosophers, mystics and seers over millenia have been trying to redefine our reality as GodSelf consciousness.
The illusion of good/bad. This is where many people fall off the wagon Wind fox. Because our world is expressed in duality many people fixate on personal preferences therefore they walk the line of judgement. It is natural to gravitate toward preference however we must not loose sight of the divinity in all expression.
The illusion of right and wrong is one of the hardest for people to see beyond. Again the devil of judgment is the bearer of such sorrow. If we accept our reality as GodSelf consciousness, (we must because it is) then we must also accept all beings as reflections of God. So we must then infer that all choice is derived from God choosing to experience. How can we then justify the condemnation of choice. Reason alone would have us understand that all expressions of God are valid and inevitable. All expression must be rewarded with love, thanks, understanding and compassion. This is why Jesus told us to love thine enemy as thyself.
Putting The Puzzle Together Beyond Illusion:
Lets now look at this from the Godself perspective Wind fox to determine some truisms.
1./ Our reality is a matrix of energy, nothing is physical.
2./ The entire realm of manifest experience is an expression of consciousness.
3./ All manifest expression is a reflection God experiencing the NOW.
4./ Life is eternal, death is fiction.
5./ Good and Bad cannot exist if we accept all reality as God.
6./ Judgement is the domain of the ego.
7./ You are a conscious reflection of God.
8./ As God your essence cannot be blemished in any way.
If we see beyond illusion Wind fox, we see only choice in the moment of NOW. This choice is the essence of devine expression therfore all choice is divine. The Ethiopian souls who choose such a harsh cycle of knowledge have a desire to experience this tragic aspect of reality. This domain of experience is a natural expression of polarity and by extension of reality will be fulfilled.
This is all about seeing the ONENESS of all manifest reality. When you see all as ONE then you free yourself from divisive concepts like good and bad or right and wrong. If you fully grasp the concept you no longer place any experience outside of the domain of God. It is not a function of someone being responsible for their doom as much as it is a function of subconscious attraction of the divine soul at an energetic level. When we think as a limited body we experience fear and need. Godself realisation sees beyond illusions affording one the peace and grace of understanding the dance of love.
We have such an attachment to our illusionary perception of reality that we fail to identify with the true Godself eternal reality. I love the movie pulp fiction and John Travolta is one of my favorite actors. When we watch the movie and come to the part where he is gunned down coming out of the toilet we are saddened by the loss of his character but we don't get all bent out of shape because we know it is just a movie. If however in " real life " he were to get murdered we would feel loss and grief. In fact seeing beyond illusion we would understand both the experience of death in the movie and of death in " real life " as the same, in so much as, both truly are illusion. Your body is the fiction. Your eternal being in the perfect moment of NOW is the only true reality. We are not individuals Wind fox we are ONE.
May I wash the feet of the man who takes my life (affords transformation and release) as he truly has come to dance in the service of my soul.
By the way Wind Fox I have ridden a bicycle across the African continent, you would be surprised at the love, compassion, oneness and sense of community that most of the poorest people in our world possess.
In lak'ech, my sister Wind fox, love is all there is...

Good points, effective blog!
I appreciated your example of the patience problem. I've had the same issues myself. It's not that often that you come across a cashier or someone else in a service-oriented job who can maintain a level of consciousness while crushed with lines of people. I do appreciate them when I come across them though!
For myself, one of the things that I realized I was most irritating for me in those situations was not the quality of service or anything about the employees, but more the system that creates those situations for the employees as well as the consumers.
To deal with my own feelings of being treated like cattle, I started shopping when the majority of citizens do not shop. This opened up different experiences for me. For one, I made more thoughtful buying decisions. Another was that I could actually get help if I needed that. Perhaps more importantly though, if I do shop at a time of low traffic for the store, I have time for those short, but meaningful, exchanges with the employees. The type where synchronicity has space for spontaneous creation with another human being. Shopping consciously allows for more conscious human interaction and therefore more opportunities to serve another.
Your sharing of the dynamic behind all of our emotions and feelings GodIAm, offers food for thought for all of us about how to deal with our 'stuff' in the highest sense, and be at peace, not just with ourselves but one another.
I'm always grateful for your offerings on evolver Sir.
Namaste,
Steve

I agree, thank you Steve....

Namaste, my brother steve. Thank you for your comments. Long ago I came to the resolution of shopping during less busy times to be a relief. Your perceptions well illustrate part of the process of change. I love the way you describe the choice to express the intent of sharing love as the primary event du jour.
I must admit I don't actually " go out of my way to " share love in such environs as I am still focused on getting in and out. With that said your comments reflect just one of the many ways we may go beyond the execution of a task to creating an environment where the task becomes secondary to the exercise of sharing love. from now on it will be love first and groceries second thank you Steve for leading the way.
In Lak' ech, my brother Steve, lead and I will follow...

— Jun 21, 2010
I'm not going to venture and talk about causality vs coincidence, etc... at least not in an intellectual level... like I read my horoscope daily from three different websites and I find patterns and what not... is not like it predicts my future or anything but it brings light to my everyday doings... I see this in a very romanticized way,, in the sense that we interact with our stories... like your example with the checkout line... you are there waiting and getting annoyed that's your story and the clerk is probably tired and annoyed too thats her/his story... but then like you said you learn from the experience and that's it the story changed... you'll probably still have to do a line in another checkout lane but it won't annoy you so even though the place is the same the storyline is different... lol I don't know if I'm making any sense but thats how I understand your post...
The only thing I don't get is the whole one choses the situation one is to experience in this world... or at least that is what I got from your response to Wind Fox... the way I see it is that others actions and choices affect us and like you said the nazi genocide... the choice that those sick ppl made of exterminating the Jewish people had nothing to do with the Jews choosing anything but the nazis were too strong and impose their will... so there are people that are victims not by their choice but by others... because at the end we are all connected... for the better or worst...
Namaste, Serch monkey...

In the response to Wind fox, I suggested extreme examples of what many would consider evil/bad/wrong. In formatting my response I failed to elaborate on how those specific examples may be perceived. I knew my response was going to be lengthy so I chose a simpler example like a common irk, in hopes readers would better identify with the premise.
So now my brother I must thank you for pulling the rest of the blog out for us to consider together.
I would preface this response by suggesting you re-read the comments to Wind fox as it pertains to the illusions involved and the conclusions or truths we find which frees us from such disorder.
Firstly your perception about making change is accurate. However, change is secondary to two other important themes.
1./ This is really about finding ways to open our hearts to love. We have been taught to react and attack, these are fear biased expressions which will only feed the energy we are looking to heal. Instead we can choose to identify, embrace and accept the lesson. This will allow us to learn, then apply love as the foundation for resolution.
2./ With an open heart SerchMonkey we start to learn that all expression works in synchronicity. From this perspective we see all " problems " in our world and the geopolitical world as " opportunity " to heal and express love.
Discordance:
With this in mind let us discuss your comments to see if there is discordance with truth. Please don't take offence as we look at how the construct of your words express disorder. I merely wish to show you how your society and culture have programmed and decieved you to respond under the guise of illusion.
SerchMonkey:
" The only thing I don't get is the whole one choses the situation one is to experience in this world... "
When we think of our being as an individual body and not consciousness we tend to identify with the body and environment instead of out true GodSelf or spirit self. I can understand how extremely difficult it is for people to comprehend that in our world there are not 6.3 billion individuals. Truly my brother, you are not your body, you are consciousness which is ONE. You and the life you lead represents a reflection of GOD, eternal in the NOW moment.
Our world is expressed as a dualistic dream. How can we experience peace if there is no reflection of war? How can we experience loss if there is no reflection of death? Our compassion is learned from the reflection of poverty. From the reflection of errors we learn truth and understanding. This perspective SerchMonkey allows us to both agree that all manifest experience must be and is expressed. Now, if you can grasp the concept of all beings as ONE then does it really matter which " individual " expresses genocide? Of course not, there is only ONE.
Believe it or not your spirit owns the experience of being a dictator, a harlot, a murderer, a hero, a priest and a thief. Can you place blame on Hitler if you determine you are Hiltler? Hell no, that would be no more sane than cutting off your left hand because it could not perform as well as your right. Hitler showed the world a modern reflection of genocide, his " victims " were part of that glorious dance of synchronicity. Remember, there is only ONE, death is an illusion.
You only feel greif because you identify with the illusion that millions died. NO ONE DIES EVER. Imagine the great growth a spirit may enjoy from experiencing a life cycle as a Jew in Nazi germany. If my soul chose to become more compassionate that would be one vehicle to learn such a lesson. When you see all as ONE then you can eliminate judgement and it's hideous companions; wrong vrs right, and bad vrs good.
I am not justifying the acts of Hitler, it's important to understand justification is not needed.
SerchMonkey:
" the choice that those sick ppl made of exterminating the Jewish people had nothing to do with the Jews choosing anything but the nazis were too strong and impose their will... so there are people that are victims not by their choice but by others... because at the end we are all connected... for the better or worst... "
Possibly now SerchMonkey you can see there are no " those people killing the Jewish people. " You are Hitler, you are the Jews and it didn't happen 70 years ago. It happened in the eternal moment of NOW and no one died.
Finally, yes my dear brother we are all connected not for better or worse ( no such thing ) but for love. Like Bob Marley says, " One world, one love "
In Lak' ech, my brother SerchMonkey, freedom from illusion...

Thanks for keeping the discussion going and no, I don't take offence,,, I rather have honesty than political correctness... that being said I'll use your own words my friend... please don't take offense on what I'm about to say...
You are right on saying I don't perceive all of us like ONE,,, I don't,,, I see myself as me not as Hitler or as the Jews...
I understand the concept of time as just a means of measurement... just like the metric system, it's an abstraction just like time... not an illusion...
I do believe there is right and wrong... there are things that are right and wrong to our human interaction and experience... yes there are things that fall in the grey areas but going back to the Nazi genocide,,, that I see as good old black and white wrong,,, they (the nazis) might of thought theyr were doing good but they obviously were not... just like raping is wrong, is sinful, is taking your soul to dark place... why? because nobody has the right to take someones life, innocence, hope, possessions, etc just because they feel like it... and yeah I'm coming from a social stand point... because just like time and the metric system is another abstraction we use to live in order and peace...
Lets keep this discussion going please it is something that I feel really passionate about... and just to finish my thoughts I want to say this...
I can see how someone's spirit might grow out of immense amount of pain but there are certain things in this world that are just plain horrible and yeah we all are capable of horrible things but we make a choice... so yes I am you and you are me but the choices you make... those are just yours...
I love that last bit you wrote...

"
This is such a beautiful statement SerchMonkey. There is a difference between right/wrong, good/bad and the word horrible. Horrible is something none of us want to see in the world, but it is needed. What we perceive to be wrong is the reflection we require to be able to choose what we perceive to be right. However we must understand that each persons perspective of horrible is different. Lets use the example of Jihad suicide attacks.
Your religious bias has you firmly believe that to kill is a most heinous act. Therefore, you would naturally feel the Jihadist who straps a bomb around himself detonating it at a checkpoint killing 10 or so people to be a combination of two deadly sins, suicide and murder. Look now at the Jihadists perspective. He would have been trained in the teachings of Mohammed. The Koran promises him 40 virgins and a place in heaven if he is to sacrifice his being on this plane for the selfless benefit of his compatriots. From his perspective, not only is it not a sin to commit such and act, it is the alturistic expression of love for Allah. It is all about perspective my friend.
" I understand the concept of time as just a means of measurement... just like the metric system, it's an abstraction just like time... not an illusion... ". This comment reflects your perception of time as an abstract tool, not as an illusion. Let us look deeper into this comment, first lets define illusion.
Oxford Dictionary; 1./ A false idea or belief. 2./ A thing that seems to be something that it is not, or seems to exist but does not.
Consider yourself as being two very different persons at the same time. The duality of your two seperate selves is expressed so eloquently as such.
1./ Your egoic self; the perception of your physical essence in the space/time continuum. The perception of your world to be physical an real. The ego lives in illusion thinking itself to be the only true self. The ego believes in the self apart from all other creation. This " separation " is the root cause of the manifestation of many fears like, death, need, desire and the right/wrong // god/bad paradigm, just to name a few.
2./ Your GodSelf; the perception of your physical essence in the space/time continuum as merely illusion. With the broader understanding that time, space and the physical world only represent an opportunity to experience being and therefore choice. The GodSelf understands all creation to be ONE, there is nothing " separate ". This true perception of reality allows the GodSelf to see beyond, sin, right/wrong. Instead the lens of true perception allows one to accept all manifest reality to be GOD in the act of being.
Just think of the desk you are sitting at. Your ego would have you believe in the physicality of it's being, it seems solid enough doesn't it. Your GodSelf would perceive your desk as energy in motion stabalized in a three dimentional plane. Scientific understanding of quantum physics would definitely side with the definition of your GodSelf not your ego. From this breif example, coupled with the definition of illusion, you can determine SerchMonkey how your ego deceives you. The ego is truly the ultimate master of deception.
Allowing our mind to expand we can create thousands of such examples of the duality of cognitave nature. However lets use just one one more.
You experience the loss of a parent. Your ego would perceive an experience of death and ending if you will. Moreover, your ego would identify with great anguish, confusion, you would feel beset upon by a very painful loss. Your GodSelf however would have a completely different view. GodSelf would see the divine reunification to the GodSource. Your GodSelf would experience no loss, understanding that one chapter has ended and a new chapter shall begin. GodSelf would celebrate the event as a natural and pre ordained movement to the etheral plane. Tears would be shed, but not of fear biased loss. Instead they would be tears of joy for the natural expression of GodSelf eternal reality. Science would once again side with the perception of the GodSelf based on quantum understanding, coupled with the fundamental law of energy. " Energy cannot be created nor destroyed ". The quantum field merely shifts it's level of vibration to a higher plane.
We are in very fortunate times my dear brother SerchMonkey. When I started on the spiritual path thirty one years ago science held itself in contrast to gnostic truth. Today with quantum physics, string and m theories, we see the world in a new light. With the advancements of biology in determining the causal nature of reality we now comprehend how consciousness is the driving force behind the physical expression of all manifest reality and not DNA. Today we can use a multitude of scientific vehicles to discover, beyond doubt, proof of our eternal existence. Moreover, science has proven the ONEness of our being. So we see SerchMonkey that we no longer need to doubt the spiritual teaching of ages past. Instead, we see how science and spirituality have joined hands to express for our benefit the illusions of our being.
The road to truth is well paved, all we need do is choose which road begs our attention.
In Lak' ech, my dear brother SerchMonkey, from illusion we find truth and love...
Re: judging things to be
— Jun 22, 2010
Re: judging things to be good or bad--Someone pointed out to me the other day, "The devil and Jesus are equally divine," or something like that, which was pretty trippy for me to contemplate and spun my judgmental spiritual hierarchy on its head.
Re: difficult human experiences--I think as souls we choose to incarnate to have certain experiences. And on the more transpersonal level, I think the divine one-ness takes interest in every experience, as appalling as it may appear to a human perspective. I believe we are all one consciousness doing it to ourselves for the delight and wonder in it all.
Re: cashiers--When I'm more conscious I try to interact with the cashier to remind them that they are not a machine and that I appreciate their human-ness. Usually though I'm just trying to not judge the "food" people are purchasing.
Re: annoyances--Tonight I was annoyed to discover too late into the storm that I put out my bags of paper recycling on a night of a tornado. I guess I just have to chuckle at how adamant I am to separate all the recyclable paper to avoid hurting the earth and now am faced with having it all blowing around the neighborhood wet in the wind. I do enjoy the power of nature thwarting my meager attempt to help save it, maybe it's teaching me that I'm trying to control things like environmental destruction and I can surrender more to the flow (or storms) of the universe. I could get deeper into it and say that this recycling/storm fiasco is just probing a little bit into my worry that my existence is not worth the waste I cause to the earth. But of course that's silly because on a higher level the oneness me created the earth for a multitude of reasons, but one of those reasons was to be incarnated as me treading upon using a portion of its resources it in 2010. I'll bet every tiny annoyance has a deeper root. Thanks for the post, maybe I'll start looking more at these annoyances as trails to pots of lead for alchemization.
Thank you

Thank you for your perspective Shivadove. It is always a pleasure to have your input. Your comments speak the music of my heart. How about Jesus and the devil only exist in the annals of a poorly written bedtime story.
Namaste, my sister Shivadove, rewriting history to get it right...
