Methodology

File Location:  My Words/Completion (What we know)\Achieving Awareness\Methodology/Methodology


Oldest date modified 10/17/2009
There are some elements in composing methods to achieve awareness: the elements are exploration (to become aware we wonder about things), memory (to keep the awareness you had); to achieve exploration we TEND to need interest (something that draws us  to it), and since we are considering to live by as if other people exist and that the value of their lives is as much as ours, or just the fact that there is an external world there is a need for expression (so we accomplish  existnce on the outside).
 Pray Pray Prayer!!! I ask out loud I dance for an answer, cmon, show that you want to live to know.  In prayer I ask and I listen.
Everywhere I go every where I see I must realize of all the possibilities with every instance that is presented, I must know (realize that I am alive).
Dont lie to yourself, when you lie to yourself you pretend things dont exist, when you pretend like things dont exist and then you see them, you g4et startled, when you get startled, you can either accept that you have been lying to yourself, or you can get frustrated and try to destroy what exists.

Response from things that you subconcious call
                On this subject again I say that the symbols I see around, the interpretation (God says: stay quite, hear what I say, and dont deny what I tell you).  So when you want something, you get an answer from anywhere... heres the case, I was trying to think of something I forgot, I had completely forgotten it (understand how the dynamics of this works), so my mind id in the search for something, this memory or a concept, and although I did not remember it, my mind payed attention to a physical scenerio, and made me think about what was going on in the scenerio, and lead me to conclude the thought that I was  trying to remember, I need to know the criteria that leads to this to happen this way...  Ok so if I go along with this, if I want something or at least to know something, the answer will come, I will derive it from whereever I look, (thinking of the black king chess piece) my mind already knows what comes next and the truth about things, it makes me pay attention to the symbols that will be relevant, and it even gives me an answer through them.  So my mind already knows all of this, (could it be the first thing that is considered?) and whatever I want to know, it is ready to disburse the information, (so what do I have to do to get the information?) all I have to do is spur my mind like an action or a symbol, and interpret. So what about the wrong interpretations, I ask God, the wrong interpretations wher do they come from? They are not pure are they? They are not interpretations, they are not answers from the mind, in response to what you ask, so they are not the interpretation that you derive from what you give your attention to, they are rather the lack of interpretation, they are the ignorance of the interpretation, they are not what you interpret but they are the result of the denial of the interpretation. And why do we deny interpretations? Because we do not accept the possibility of that interpretation. And what does it mean when we do not accept a possibility? It means we have a prejudice, we have a belief that we consider to be true.  And like the quote I just came up with this last Friday says: “When you do not believe anything to be true, you believe everything to be a possibility.” But if you believe something to be true and are not willing to accept its opposite, then you have a prejudice, and when you have a prejudice, when you already have a conclusion, an answer about something that you are not willing to let go, then you are not letting it go, and you are not letting the “interpretation” take its place.  A thing that connects to this, that this reminds me of is the religion class I took at UCR, they talked about Process Theology, and the most instant point in time is where you get ALL TRUTH, the very first impression before any prejudice kicks in, but we do not really pay attention and it seems like if we dont have access to this point in time because a moment fades after as short as a moment can be, and our prejudices come immediately, or almost immediately, so we tend tto not notice the Truth, before all our prejudice comes in.  The way my idea connects to this, is that since it is not easy to access this point time (before our prejudices come in), the second best thing we must do is get rid of our prejudices, so that they dont come in.
There is a certain form of thinking that prompts one to listen, you listen, what is it like to listen? By listenning I mean those moments when you get ideas, when you “read minds”, or when what you want to know, comes to you.  There is a certain way to listen to these, when you dont have prejudices I said it before, thats when you will hear them, thats when you will accept what it says, but how does one do this, is not easy, or how is it done? 
There is a state in which it comes, what is this state, I was sitting on a rock today, trying to remember somehting again, while my mind thought of what I was trying to remember, as I decided to save it for later it came to me again, from another direction just like the last time, this is what it is? I wondered why, and how it came to me, it seemed like it came when I was not trying to think about it anymore, just like how people remember things only after they give up trying to think about it (and I remembered an instance of this a couuple of weeks ago, well actually I think it was this Sunday, when someone at church was trying to think of a name, and he said he would let it go since it would takke time but as soon as he said that he remembered.

Question is: why is it so?
So I started thinking of this state, and what it is. It sounds like these things are suppose to come spontaenously, without you trying to think of them, if you try to think of them they will not come, because they would not be spontaenous.  I guess that when you are trying to think of something, you are applying prejudices, you aer trying to think of it in terms of those prejudices by which you are trying to think of it from, directing your thoughts to a certain place, when in fact you are not suppose to have prejudice as you want to know, you are just suppose to listen without a question without denying it with whatever evidece or past experience you may have.

So this is how they come, but if you are not trying to think of them (the problem is) how will it ever be known, so you are suppose to want to know but not try to make it or look for it, but just let it in.  This may be confusion because you should only just “let it in” so it seems that you aer suppose to not care if it walks in or not, but if you dont care, it seems to mean that you dont really want it, and if you dont really want it then how will it ever come to you?  I guess what one has to do is to admit  they want it (how much do they have to admit before they convince their mind to look for the answer for them?)m and  then just let their mind wonder.  And why does it  work like this anyways?

So why is it called spontaenous? Why does it feel that way? Because you are not thinking of prejudices that you feel are suppose to lead to it, when actually those prejudices have no connection with it (at least in your mind, which is why thinking of those prejudices will not help you remember.  So if its not the prejudices that helps you remember but it is only the desire, your soul desire for it without identifying what it is.

Emotions without a name: I just woke up from my nap and my roomate was trying to tell me something, I told him to not talk, to hold on. I was trying to remember something and I didnt want him to distract me, as I slowly lost what I was trying to remember, I told him I was trying to remember something, he told me I must have a really bad memory, I said that its just that the things I was trying to remember did not have a name and thats why it was so hard.  He said he was confused, I said I was too, he said “what?”, I said I was confused to as I have problems thinking and tryinf to remember these things they leave me confused, most time or not.  He was telling me how I was talking in my sleep, I know since I wwas awake thorught some of it, “It wasnt spanish thought”, I told him, and when I told him that I thought and said, “HEY! I must have been speaking in toungues”. He asked what it was and I told him about acts and the tounges of fire and what not, and that you speak only that God understands.  “So that means I got the Holy Spirit!!” I said, “well either that or I got demons from my friend who got possesed a couple of days ago”... I told him that he knew him but that I wouldnt say who.  He said he didnt care.  Then I told him that it was weird because there was anouther time when I was half awake and I was trying to phrase out everything I was thinking to remember it, putting parts and parts of it in words to get each out and maybe a whole, but I forgot everything because as I became more awake, the more I lost and I never wrote it down. So its like things that I can only think while I am dreaming, that I can only understand in that state, words that only make sense in dreams, since I dont believe that the words that I did manage to put together (that I still dont remember) made any sense.  So he said, “but I thought you couldnt remember”, I said, “well yea cuz these things dont have a name so its really hard to pinpoint them to remember.”  Then I thought of why people speak in toungues and I think it may be because of  this, that there are no words in our language to describe the things they feel or are thinking about.
Okay so in think about how all this works, that it doesnt matter what I want to know my mind will search for it on its own and no matter what it is, it will find the answer I am looking for, as long as I have not the prejudices that deny the answer.  Because of this, the answer we waant does not come when we are trying to think of it, but when we feel it less, when we are not trying to think of it, when we are listenning and letting it come, just listening.  It depends on what we want in our lives that our bodies, our minds will decide what to give us.  Those things that we contemplate and hope for, andspend sometime acknowledging our hernest desire for it... something like that.  Anyways, we cant get to these answers by reasoning out some points, because that would be using the prejudices of our minds to derive it, but when we use the prejudices of our mind we are actually rejecting the answer it is trying to tell us because it doesnt make sense to us.
So first of all, how does it know the answer?  I dont know, I guess it depends on where your desire is, on what level of reality, and how legitamate you want the answer to be.  I guess it depends what level of assumptions you are willing to accept as true in the answer the you aspire towards... what I am trying to say is... your mind knows that if all you hernestly care about is bullshit sex, and do not care about keeping yourself safe for love, then it will give you bullshit sex; only if you admit  that thats what you only care about and that if, honestly, there was anything greater that you may not know, that you wouldnt hold it into well being just because you dont know it (in other words, you are being ignorant of the possibility of anything greater, and even if you knew you were being ignorant, you would still accept your ignorance), then it will give it to you.  So basically, if you want to be famous, and you were to sell your soul to the devil to achieve that; then you would become famous.  Second example: if you want to be famous, and you decide that you should not pursue it because the vanity that comes to you from being famous is a bad thing, and something you dont want, then the range of possibilities that could happen is that you become famous without being vain, or you become famous, but if you had an honest concern about this, then  you wouldnt be vain by fame. 
This is all so hard to explain and I dont think the examples I gave do any justice to what I am trying to say.  But the point is, that your mind lowers it standards according to your level of reality, and the possibilities in reality that you are willing to consider.  And what I mean by “your mind” I mean the thing that decides what it will tell you and let you know, so that you reach your honest goals.
So where does God go in all of this? God remains here, where the infinite is, in our world, where the Unknown is, God is all of this that we understand, and much more.  God knows that everything that I am coming up with, no matter how well it works and how much it makes sense, it is still only an idea by a human and ever-biased mind, God is Truth, the Truth we may never reach.  God is what we are suppose to aspire to as so we do not close our minds but become aware of the possibilities of reality, which are in fact infinite, if we aspire to this Infinity, then this Infinity will be our hernest desire, and the standard by which our minds decide how to answer our prayers.  Whether God has a conscious mind, that is such a strange question it is like He does and He doesnt; He doesnt because all Infinity is, is a standard that we are suppose to aspire to, and our minds will give us the blessing of reaching it; and He does have a conscious mind in the sense that Infinity and the Unknown is in our minds, working through it in our terms, but we really should not degrade Infinity to terms of consciousness or unconsciousness. Infinity if anything would only be greater than anything than we can imagine, so consciousness just becomes another superficial factor, like asking if God is African or yellow skinned, God is so over those things, that asking if God has a consciousness or not is such a strange question, specialy when you think about how consciousneess is only a figment, a creation of the human mind.  God is everything greater than anything, Infinity, and just because it may not be conscious in terms of humanity, it does not  mean that it would not understand us, but because it is Infinitely greater and Ever-present in even our reality, that it still understands and works through us.  We do not understand Infinity, but it understands us, because we are in it, we are part of it, and it works through us.
So the point I was trying to make, is that depending on the honest desire, and our consideration for life, that we have had, and for the possibilities our reality, our honest considerations.  Our mind will answer our prayers and desires according to what we consider reality to be, it will make your life an intricate puzzle that should lead you to your ultimate goal in the end.  So it depends on the standard that our mind has, where it will take us within this Infinity.  This is why not everyone will reach heaven, this is why some will die off and never know, and some will live an eternity in hell, this is why animals dont go to heaven, because they do not consider life and reality like we do (well, we really do not have a right to say, whether even the rocks can see us, since we have never been any of them before).  And it may also turn out, that deep within the arrangement of our structure, since we all exist, we all  aspire infinitly to Infinity.  My point being that, I dont know, and I probably do not have a right to declare any of this because of the level of reality that it takes place in.  And by level of reality I mean the amount of assumptions that we need  to take as “facts” in order to understand it, or to create that reality.
So recap of today’s subject, our mind knows what to give us depending on the level of reality that our honest desires are in, and what possibilities we have taken into consideration.
And now thinking through all of this, then I listen to music which I thought was impressively meaningful in terms of content and subject, but now those things which they consider, which I once though were meaningful and beautiful, I  now see it as vain as lust poetry.  And how do you determine if it is I or the world that is becoming insane, and what does that matter in such a state as mine.  If you think I am just going crazy, you can kill me, but you will all still be stuck in your reality which you know nothing of, and of course you know nothing of it, just ask God.

This Example comes from October 25, 2009:
In the dish room, the only place where I can blast my favorite music... “mind if I put on the radio?” he said.  And it broke my heart, I told him he could, and hid my disappointment.  Now I am blind, closed minded, focused on this threat, how can something so simple, make me this sad?  Just because they dont like my music; like I always say, its not the action, but what it means, it means that there is no where now where I can play my music, where I can express who I am, it means that I was wrong again in thinking that I would be accepted, it means that these picky people only accept from me what they like but once they see something they dont like they pretend to still be nice, when they are really brats.  But why does it bother me that they only accept some things of me but not the rest, im sure i have done this before with others, just like I like girls to kiss them but not marry them.  This is a problem for those who think that a kiss means marriage.  And the radio was a problem for me that thought that progressive metal meant experimental.  But its because this girl perceived an act of love as love altogether, and I perceived a type of music to the rest of my weird music.  I wasnt ready to be rejected, I didnt think it would be, I was concerned about it though, and there it was.  So now I wonder it can happen again, and I dont want it to happen again.

But these changes, they are not suppose to upset me and close my mind... Im suppose to drift along with them, as if dancing to a new song.

I have arms, but I cant do anything with them (I dont know how to use them for), I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH MY ARMS, (I remember how I used them before to make someone happy), now there is nothing I can do with them, I cant see, I cant see what I can do with them, I cant walk I dont know how to use my legs... I want to see, I want to see the possibilities, but I am blind.  How do I open up my eyes? How do I realize I am alive?  How do I realize who You are? How do I realize that I am an angel, and that I have wings to even fly?  Im stuck in one world, how do I get out?

And so I wrestled with the thoughts, I thought of it as something that comes and goes, I thought of myself, picking up on an inspiration, but then coming back to this, and lwaving the inspired person I was behind, leaving those who met me confused, so that the plans I had, that I loved, were so easily thrown away.  This reminded me of Angie, once inspired, then like nothing, like dead.  Maybe when I did the spell on her, to waken her, it made her demon pass on to me.  How considerate of me, now who would I give it to? It must make a really nice trick to torment someone as I am tormented, no... but who would be nice to take it from me, what if I asked Nick Brandenburg to take it?  So that made me wonder how things like this can be contagious... Now I thought of my torment as a demon, “I will not give you to anyone” I told it, “I will destroy you myself”.  We wrestled, or my body just writhed, I laughed, as if it was him speaking, a deep laughter, then a more scratchy one.  I layed there just thinking... then I thought, no I have to take care of this guy, “cmon..” so I engaged in it again, writhed, then we laughed, the wrestling reminded me of rough play... I like rough play, so he said out loud, “lets be friends”, and I said concerned, “yes, lets try that”  I looked toward God, and He gave me the thumbs up... trying something new is good. 
I think though, that being friends with it, means living with prejudice... ugh, its not what I want, God help please.
Maybe I am suppose to litterally look around and pay attention to things to get back my sight, think of one thing then another then another, and make this and that, and so I thats kind of what I did, then I did this and that and went here and there and so...

October 26, 2009
I wake up, and I am afraid, I actually wake up the second time and turn on the music homework, and when I see a girl I think positive, but I am still afraid, I can feel it, I dont know of what though.  Im sure it will show up, then I will have to deal with it, I hope I figure out how by by then.

Philosophy Romanticism class:  “the monologue in your head, its not you, its a combinaiotn of outtside influences, then you want the monologue to shut up so you can reveal the unique genious, so how do you shut up the monologue?”  I laughed because thats what I was trying to do the day before... “do you  sit there and say, ‘shut up’?”  the monologue goes away when you listen to the music, because when you hear the music, the monologue is irrelevant. 
Responsibility, how you Respond...
