Samples of *Private Teachings*
Greetings Ye Seekers of Truth and Understanding,
These "Private Postings" are supplemental to all of the other Light Mission endeavors to distribute information to Help in the Unfolding of Inner Awareness -- The Awakening. I hope that you find them helpful and interesting. Dwell on them WithIN and See what Realizations Unfold.

The Gospel Of Thomas ?
This could fall under the heading of *Toxic Conditioning*. We must bear in mind that *Christianity* originated in Egypt long before the so called *Christian Era*. *Christology* was propounded by many, Jesus being only one of them, since it's spread from Egypt. The organization of *the Church* was solely a result of some concerned individuals, namely Cabalists (mystic Jews) trying to *reorganize* a more liberal Judaism. But *the Church* was taken over by some power hungry Romans and *decided* to put together a text, close to Christendom's present Bible, and call themselves *Christianity*. Of course as this pestilence spread, each ruler of each dominating country rewrote this text in their own language and to their own liking, so much of the True Wisdom was dropped because it was not Understood or did not go along with the ruler's conditioned thinking. So we wind up with the present abortion that Christendom *calls* The Word of God the Bible.
Now, the Essenes were the reformed Cabalists and propounders of the Christology of Egypt -- or, Mystic Jewish Alchemists. In their ranks were also the reformed liberal Christologists who turned out to be what we call Traditional Gnostics (or Christian Gnostics). Blend all of these influences together and you have Thomas -- and an idea of why he wrote the way he did and why *the Church* would consider such writings *heretical*. Being heretical, such writing were not allowed to be seen. Is this not control and manipulation of our thinking and behavior ? Is this not toxic conditioning by *the Church* ? The threat of losing our ticket to Heaven or be frowned upon by God if we Eat of the Tree of Knowledge (Wisdom) ?
Awakening IS digging and finding these ways that we are controlled and manipulated by our toxic conditioned thinking and behavior.
It would be less rare if we would put forth the effort and struggle with our social conditioning instead of apathetically sitting back and satisfying ourselves with the conditioned notion that "it is too much work".
May I offer, that it is not Recognized IF we *think* there is nothing to be done about it. For it is so horrid a Recognition that we would be forced by our own Recognition to discard it. When we Truly see ourselves in the Mirror of Truth as the automatons that we are, for the worthless piles that conditioned thinking and behavior has made of us, we either run and hide in our Sleep or we face our delusions and struggle to discard them (depending not on *choice* but rather on our degree of conditioned thinking). For IN Awakening we Realize that there is no other choice but to discard the Veils that hide our Divine Awakening from it's Unfolding.
To try to change the world is folly, for the world will not change until humanity changes itself individually by Waking-Up. Then indeed, the world will change individual by individual -- and I dare say, no other way.
Bound to it ? Bonded ? Is this not a diplomatic way of saying *attached* ? And are these attachments not conditioned, innocently or self imposed or otherwise ? Yet it is True that we must be IN the world, we must not be OF the world. It is in the control and manipulation of our conditioned thinking and behavior (beliefs) that bind us to these attachments and thereby impede our Awakening to their illusive non-secure nonpermanent nature. A house divided will fall where as a house together will stand. And Saints are not the only ones who can discard this conditioned thinking that I sometimes speak of.
It is not about renouncing the world, it is about renouncing conditioned thinking and behavior. Renounciants are no better off than the Sleeping for they have only substituted one belief system for another. We must be IN the world and interact with it daily, but what we must not do is buy into the conditioned thinking that establishes our *bond* OF (or attachment to) the world. So we do not discard the world, but rather our attachment to it. We do not discard our participation IN the world, but rather our acknowledgement OF it's worth.
I contend that we must do this when/as conditioned notions are removed from our Experience of this very present Moment. For nothing else is Real. It is all about what is Real, and not what we *think* is right or wrong or good or bad or evil or righteous or past or future. It is about NOW. It is about Awakening.
We must *shed* or discard our conditioned thinking and the beliefs that control and manipulate our perception of both the world be interact with continually and our ability to see ourselves for who and what we really are.
At least a quadzillion times.......... a day, at first, as we drift in and out of the Moment. It would seem. Actually we begin to Awaken but once, and continue Awakening Moment to Moment piece by piece Insight by Insight. For actually, once we Open that Door of Awakening we can never completely close it. Once we finally Realize that we have been Sleeping and start to Open our Eyes to this fact, there is never going completely back to Sleep for as long as we accept the Reality of our Awakening we will never rest Realizing that our conditioned thinking and behavior was but a Dream due to our Sleeping. And once we have Directly Experienced the Reality of Awakening there is no longer the option of not accepting it. Once we have taken that first step, our Journey begins. Yes, there are many Routes to the Path of Awakening, but once we embark upon this Path we shed our individual routes.
May I offer: stop listening for something that is to be heard. We Dwell IN the Silence. When Silence IS established the Hearing is in the form of Realizations and not the words of the conditioned mind.
Others who are also Awakening will Understand precisely what you are going through and what hurdles you face along with the pain because they have Directly Experienced it themselves -- the old *been there done that*. And they can point to these problems and even make suggestions BUT no one Saves us but ourselves, no one can and no one may -- others can point to the Path, but we ourselves must Walk the Way.
The more and more you See, the more and more you will See. You must Look into the Mirror of Truth without being scared off -- this is good, this is progress ON the Path of Awakening. To admit that we have shortcomings and then look for them and DO something about them IS Awakening.
Studying conditioning as an intellectual inquiry is good because then a general knowledge is established. The studies are very public so that anyone can read about them. As the techniques and practices apply to animals or in a laboratory setting is pretty much what will be found in a general search. It is up to US to put 2 and 2 together and Realize that these techniques and practices are used to control and manipulate our thinking and behavior and that as a result we are nothing more than programmed automatons controlled and manipulated by others. Not that everything about it is detrimental, for there is much fine work being done in Behavior Modification. The problem lies in how it is being modified and for what end. The area of Behavior Modification (actually Behavior/Thinking Modification) gets deeper into the areas that I speak of.
The Grand Trickster the conditioned mind sort of blocks out what it does not want to observe (to painful). In our conditioned state of thinking we do not want to be told or read that we are programmed puppets who has strings attached for the control and manipulation of some unseen puppeteer so we skim past that undesirable stuff. IN Awakening we stop the mind of all of it's chatter and look or read or listen Wholly so as not to misread or not observe or not hear. A *habit* that when it is brought to one's attention and we consciously make sure that we do not *skim* by it is as good as setting the *habit* out the door for the trash man to pick up. It is not an over-night process -- be patient and continue to Observe yourself IN the Mirror of Truth. It will all become quite Natural one day.
Einstein said what I always call *Dwelling IN the Moment*. Our *limitations* and *inadequacies* naturally being our seeming inability to sustain Dwelling IN the Moment due to our conditioned thinking. IN the Moment there is no identification with anything little lone ourselves. *Identification* being *attachment to*.
Indeed, a shock to the system. The Observation of the Sleeping scurrying to save possessions that they were *attached* to, meaning more to them than life itself ? Or that YOU Realize that physical *articles* are of no real value pitted against the Experience IN the Moment ? Perhaps laugh with someone about standing out in the rain and getting wet ? If I may offer: It is when you are alone is when you needed complete solitude. For it is that you need confirmation of your Experience IN the Moment and not really *comfort*. And if you talked to one who was Sleeping at this time you would not have gotten confirmation but rather condemnation that would have drawn you from the Moment. The Sleeping need *comfort*, the Awakening need *confirmation*. There will come a time IN your Awakening that even confirmation is not necessary because you Realize that What-IS is the Moment and nothing more (or less, for that matter). You will BE Content IN that Fact all by yourself.

Sample Postings of *Ray Of Light*
Greetings Ye Seekers of Truth and Understanding,

The very instant Moment that "In choosing the direction in life, in all your choices", the boat just left the dock and you were not on it. And as you stand there watching it fade away off into the horizon, you wonder why your *choice* to take a boat trip was not recognized. For does not *choice* imply *judgement* ? Is not *judgement* based on one's *beliefs* of right and wrong or good and bad ? And are not *beliefs* relied upon when Direct Experience is not Realized ? IN Awakening, you will find that the more we Awaken the less choices we have at our command. For IN Experiencing What-IS, projecting none of our conditioned notions into/onto that Moment or that Experience, we are left with nothing other than whatever What-IS IS. So I suppose we could choose between What-IS or What-IS, but since the result of the choice would be What-IS, which IS the same, is there really a *choice* ? Or merely an Illusion so that we can *think* we have some control in our lives ?
The talk of choices always brings forth when Russia first held a "Free Democratic Election" of a Premier. Notices were sent out of a free choice election, pole stations were set up, 97+% of the population voted. Nikita Khruschev was elected back in office, primarily because there was only one candidate on the ballot. So the choice was to either vote for Khruschev or for Khruschev. Though it was a close election, Khruschev won.
Indeed, discarding our social conditioned thinking and behavior is ALMOST an insurmountable task. And Looking into the Mirror of Truth is painful and scary. So much the effort and so much the problem and so much the pain and so much the fear that 99.99% of humanity will stay Sleeping in their Dreams of self-importance and self-worth, and remain in humanity's Suffering. But then, for what purpose are we here in the physical realm, to Sleep ? To play these silly games of greed and control and manipulation over others and inflict pain and suffering ? Seems to be a gross waste of time and energy Sleeping.
^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^
In a real sense we ARE the body, so if we are pain and suffering the body will be pain and suffering. Yet when we possess this body, and the mind and/or brain controls it, then the dualistic notion itself fosters the notion that the body can pain and suffer all on it's own. I am sure that you have heard the expression that illness is psychosomatic -- much is psychosomatic, pain and suffering is just such a varmint.
Nothing is free when Sleeping, for we pay ourselves to the Grand Trickster. Freedom is when we kick the Grand Trickster out. Before then, our so called will is the will of the Grand Trickster -- which is enslavement by the Grand Trickster. That is, we are a slave to our own conditioned mind. When we kick the Grand Trickster out, we are guided by What-IS IN the Moment -- slaves to the Moment and What-IS, as it were. It is man's arrogance and conditioned notion of his importance that makes him think that he has a free will of his own. Do we see free will in Nature ? NO. All of Nature IS what it IS and does what it does because it IS what it IS. All of Nature IS and Flows with What-IS -- does what must be done IN the Moment. No judgement, no choice, no options, just BEing What-IS. It is called Surrender -- "Thy will and not my will be done". Assuming, of course, that 'Thy' is not the Grand Trickster -- Sleeping, it is. 'Thy' IS What-IS IN the Moment, from Moment to Moment. When we discard our conditioned notions we Realize that there is no such thing as free will, for All will IS the will of What-IS. So we simply BE that will, as we must BE What-IS. THAT, is Freedom. Freedom form the Grand Trickster to Dance the Cosmic Dance of Awakening.
What-IS is What-IS, so there is no room for opinions. Sleeping, we have many opinions -- all we have are opinions. Awakening, all we have is What-IS. Without the Grand Trickster controlling and manipulating our thinking and behavior, we are left to acknowledge What-IS as What-IS without projecting our conditioned notions onto/into What-IS.
