This is Part 2 of our Manifesting’s Grand Conspiracy Series. To read Part 1, click here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We were watching our favorite TV Dog Trainer, Cesar Millan, last night. Because of his understanding of psychology and the dynamics of “energy”, he is able to teach his clients to see their own self-defeating behaviors when dealing with their dogs (after all, his motto is: “I rehabilitate dogs and train people”). With that teaching often come some TRULY profound, and some SEEMINGLY profound and life-changing spiritual adages.<\/p>\n

For instance, he told a lady who was worrying that her dog may react to a certain change in habit \/ lifestyle routine that she can “only control the now” and not to focus on what COULD go wrong in the future.<\/p>\n

On the surface, and in that context, those four words were powerful for that particular lady. But does it mean that this spiritual rule is something to live by, carte blanche, without analysis or a DEEPER understanding of its validity?<\/p>\n

Let’s find out!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

====== Continued<\/em><\/strong><\/span> =======<\/p>\n

First, we think we’ll all agree that human nature loves easily-digestible, feel-good<\/em> rules of living… especially the kind that don’t require a lot of work or mental jockeying. “If it feels good to me, doesn’t do anybody any harm, or keeps me from worry, doubt, and fear,” the rationale goes, “then I’ll adopt it, love it, and sprinkle it over everything I do.”<\/p>\n

That mindset — as tongue-in-cheek as it was written — is precisely how a great majority of well-meaning (but lazy) people on this planet operate their lives, businesses, and relationships:<\/p>\n

Recycling the same passed-down, protective, passive, unquestioning niceties<\/span><\/em> over and over… regardless of how relevant that nicety might be, or how responsible to bringing forth RESULTS in their life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While, as we said earlier, it WAS the perfect thing to say to the frantic, worrisome, everything-will-go-wrong wired dog owner… would you want people like surgeons, detectives, oil tank captains, and insurance agents to have the blanketed one-size-fits-all belief that they can “only <\/strong>control the now<\/em>?”<\/p>\n

Er, well, we don’t!<\/p>\n

NOW<\/em> can, and should, be the future for a lot of people. If they were programmed to think that they can only give energy to what they see, hear, smell, feel, etc. IN THE MOMENT, things could be detrimental. To be effective and get RESULTS, a surgeon has to see the impact of his or her actions — the expected outcome — on their patients BEFORE they act; detectives use reasoning and postulate probabilities; captains of the sea map and plan out their shipping routes in advance; and insurance agents anticipate obstacles that could prevent their clients’ applications from being accepted.<\/p>\n

These people require forward-thinking skills and a conscious awareness of probable future expectations to get the job done.<\/p>\n

Some, based off the focus and mental-emotional energy targeted to the outcome, can indeed control the future… by creating the future<\/em><\/strong> for a particular event.<\/p>\n

How? (We’ll give you the answer at the end of the blue table. Within the table, however, is some interesting pivotal insight… a little academic in parts, but well worth reading):<\/p>\n

In Part 1 of this series, we gave you a new way to look at the proliferating nicety that so many spiritualists love throwing around: “We’re All Connected.”<\/p>\n

Yes, okay, so now… ramp up the music, Maestro… ’cause truly, without exploring those three words, it’s just a single note floating around your noggin.<\/p>\n

Connected to What?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connected to Who and to What Degree?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How Does the Connection Affect Our Ability to Manifest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs Above, So Below. As Within, So Without.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n

Seem familiar?<\/p>\n

It should!<\/p>\n

This phrase is probably as old as human thought itself. In one way or another, its meaning has been passed down by every religion and metaphysical school of study known to mankind.<\/p>\n

It’s an expansion on, or derivative form of one of the sacred laws (“As Above, So Below”) inscribed on one of the most revered documents in the Western World: The Emerald Tablet<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This tablet’s history or origin isn’t important to discuss, as nobody seems to know for sure where it came from, or who really wrote it (it’s largely attributed to Hermes-Thoth, someone who, according to legend, was a contemporary and possible teacher of Abraham, of Biblical history); however, what’s important is this:<\/p>\n

Encoded within the tablet’s mysterious wording are the principles and laws that have been the unaccredited source of many of our mystical and religious traditions. This tablet contains an extremely succinct summary of what Aldous Huxley dubbed the “Perennial Philosophy” — a timeless science of soul that keeps popping up despite centuries of effort to suppress<\/span> it.<\/p>\n

So, let us bring this back to one of the fundamental laws inscribed on the tablet and what it should or can mean to you.<\/p>\n

As above, so below; as below, so above<\/em> — at first glance, and remembrance of hearing it before, this phrase may seem like another general spiritual principle. You may have come to know its surface meaning as “macrocosms is the same as microcosms”. The universe is the same as God, God is the same as man, man is the same as the cell, the cell is the same as the atom, the atom is the same as… and so on, ad infinitum.<\/p>\n

And we’re all “encapsulated” in this substance (made up of waves and particles of energy) known as the ether, or as metaphysical author Gregg Braden likes to call it, the Divine Matrix.<\/p>\n

In his book of the same name he writes: “So, in ways that we are only beginning to understand, we find that we’re connected not only with everything that we see in our lives today, but also with everything that’s ever been, as well as with things that haven’t happened yet.\u00a0 And what we’re experiencing now<\/em> is the outcome of events that have occurred (at least in part) in a realm of the universe that we can’t even see.”<\/p>\n

Yes, EVERYTHING — not just “We’re All” (as in people)<\/em> — is CONNECTED!<\/p>\n

“As Above, So Below.”<\/p>\n

But, this phrase — this saying of wisdom, this ancient law — is also known as The Principle of Correspondence<\/em>, which is the second Hermetic principle. And the significance of this principle is that it is believed to hold the key to all mysteries.<\/p>\n

In plain english, it basically says that the three great planes of existence (physical, mental, and spiritual) are NOT completely separate PLACES or STATES as much as they ARE degrees of co-existent vibration<\/span>. Yes, these planes can fade into one another and share the same space (as within us — a human being). You might say that the Spiritual (God, or Source… whichever works for you) vibrates the fastest.<\/p>\n

So, these various planes each have their own rate, or their own “SONG” if you will. Spirit (God \/ Source) is at one end of the Pole of Vibration, and at the other end are certain extreme gross forms of physical matter (like a rock, for instance — energy or matter at a low rate of vibration).<\/p>\n

Between these two extreme opposite poles are millions upon millions of different rates and modes of vibration. Yet — and here’s where it should get liberating for you — the great second Hermetic principle says as above, so below; as below, so above<\/em>. In other words, there is a harmony, agreement, and correspondence between each plane… EVEN if something seems completely opposite and not related in nature.<\/p>\n

Courage knows Fear; Liquids transmute to Solids; Hate feels Love; Poverty is in tune with Prosperity; and Dark dances with Light, etc., etc.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, ancient Hermetic secrets AND modern science confirms that “matter has melted into mystery” and that all levels of existence share the same essence. We’re microcosms<\/span> of the universe (God \/ Source) and the universe (God \/ Source) is a macrocosm<\/span> within which we are contained.<\/p>\n

While you DO indeed have total control and responsibility for what you see, feel and experience within your inner-world (“so above” — your higher-vibrating, infinite, All-That-Is self), it is so, so, so vitally important to be in a state of constant vigilance<\/em> with your outer-world (“so below” — your projected physical experiences).<\/p>\n

Not only are you creating from Divine Mind \/ Infinite Intelligence, so is everybody else. Remember, as we’re all connected, it stands to reason that we’re all simultaneously manifesting our own outer-worlds<\/em><\/strong>. Sure, we’re taught to be absorbed in our own inner-world, yet when we manifest with blinders on, we never get to SEE beyond ourselves.<\/p>\n

We came here to interact, associate with, guide, mentor, teach, play, and work with others. Yup, we’re all hanging around one big “manifesting swimming pool”, and depending on your level of participation — whether you’re swimming in the water or sunning on the edge (i.e., how often you socialize, work, and play with others) — you might either splash others, or get splashed in the face with other people’s “realities”… or… you could give others a whiff of your “reality” just by walking by… or smell their own stinking “reality”, like that familiar stench of heavy chlorine.<\/p>\n

Some things are happening (playing out) in your outer-world that you don’t like. Or some things happen around you, or to you, that you swear you didn’t think about, visualize, or put energy towards.<\/p>\n

Okay, so instead of ALWAYS playing the self-pitied blame game every time something negative or unwanted comes your way — instead of saying, “Well, I must have attracted that to me!<\/em>“…or… “I was responsible for seeing or hearing that!<\/em>” and then going into denial that it’s there (i.e., pretending it’s not happening or ignoring its existence), know that you don’t create in a two-ton steel box.<\/p>\n

Start discerning your<\/em> reality from external<\/em> realities.<\/p>\n

As The Kybalion<\/em> states:<\/p>\n

“While All is in The All, it is equally true that The All is in All. To him who truly understands this truth hath come great knowledge.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Or, as Doreen Virtue, Ph.D., states in Divine Magic<\/em>:<\/p>\n

“When an author creates a character (such as Shakespeare’s Romeo), part of the author is in the character. In the same way, part of the Creator is in each of us. Yet, just as Romeo isn’t entirely Shakespeare, neither are we entirely the Creator.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other words, your “seen” OUTSIDE world is directly tied to your personal “unseen” INSIDE world, and everybody you’re directly tied to… and even indirectly tied to, when you’re brave and open-minded enough to explore and SEE truth, regardless of what it may look like (more on that in a second).<\/p>\n

Believing that you can control, and are therefore responsible for, everything you see and experience is just as detrimental as believing that the more you inoculate yourself from (or purposely don’t explore or understand) anything less than feel-good<\/em> or uplifting<\/em> stuff, the more spiritually-evolved you are.<\/p>\n

Here’s typical mind-numbed rhetoric (the kind that makes us puke) that is wrapped up in self-deceptive pretentiousness and New Age dime-store psycho-babble:<\/p>\n

(an excerpt from an email we received from a spiritual teacher this week):<\/p>\n

“People might expect you to react with fear in the same way they do about it but you won’t because you have me to tell you that everything IS OK!<\/p>\n

Many people have been coming to me asking me if I am not worried about the economic meltdown. Their problem is they are fueling their own fears and expecting me to be their partner in distress. I continue to refuse to do so because I am on a higher vibration. They will not change until they change their perspective.<\/p>\n

You are also operating with me on this high vibration by reading this message because you are a person of various perspectives else you would not be receiving this message in the first place.<\/p>\n

You are very lucky to be able to get these messages from me and other light workers during these times. Know that we are all connected.” – Mr. Z (identity protected)<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We’re always amused when people put labels on themselves in an attempt to be identified with an image that the label provides through mass (and therefore often false) interpretation.<\/p>\n

This guy is no more a “light worker” than the person who wears their “Namaste” signature like a badge of honor.<\/p>\n

As the researcher, lecturer and author we’re going to introduce you to, via the PDF linked at the bottom of this blog post, said:<\/p>\n

“A New Ager will invariably have the self-image of being loving, kind and ‘spiritual’. Whether they are or not is irrelevant. No matter what they do or say the reality is rearranged to ensure the survival of the self-identity.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like this researcher, we ALSO agree that people should spend less time attempting to “fit in” and “care” what other people think, and be a catalyst for change, fun, and results by engaging life unfiltered and unrestricted.<\/p>\n

Just like taking the concepts of “oneness” and “living in the now” to the extreme can put pressure on the person to always be congruent<\/em> with the concept (oneness<\/span> is often seen as a convenient excuse to be passive, and living in the now<\/span> can artificially alienate the extremist to reality), glorifying yourself on a “higher vibration” because you don’t worry about the economy is misguided bullshit that barely passes for spiritual intelligence of any kind.<\/p>\n

Yes, Mr. Z, we are all connected, and the more you, we, and everybody else explores, engages, and confronts other people’s agendas, plans, hopes, dreams, expectations, beliefs, etc. (people in our immediate circle of influence — family, friends, associates — and BEYOND — politicians, government figure heads, elite families), the more everyone will learn to control the future<\/span>, NOT just the NOW<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As above, so below; so within, so without<\/em> — the phenomena of one plane may be employed to solve the riddles of higher or lower planes.<\/p>\n

Our physical outside world (“so below”) is more or less reactive to what has already been built and experienced on the inside (“so above”). By reflecting on what is, regardless of how ugly some of it may look, you get a better understanding of “so above”, and once you understand what is above (what you, others around you, and “groupthink” have vibrated towards), you can change it. Then once “the above” is changed, or rather realized, it will begin to reflect itself “below” or manifest itself differently in the outside world.<\/p>\n

In Part 1, we mentioned The Truman Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As you probably already know, it’s about a guy named Truman, played by Jim Carrey, who doesn’t know he’s in an ongoing TV show, not understanding the facade being presented every day that hides the true reality.<\/p>\n

The movie provides a fascinating metaphor of the process of spiritual awakening. Truman lives his life meeting all expected norms, not challenging anything or anyone, not asking too many questions, and just plain taking everything at face value (sound familiar?).<\/p>\n

Similar to the misinformation, half-truths, twisted facts, and complete omissions we get from our current mainstream media today, every incident in Truman’s life is carefully stage managed and filtered by a TV Producer (Cristof, played by Ed Harris) who essentially plays God.<\/p>\n

But “things” accidentally happen, and Truman starts to “notice” — starts to feel, just like Neo in The Matrix<\/em>, that there’s something wrong with the world. As Morpheus tells Neo, “… you don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Truman woke up. And, after reading the very fascinating supportive comments from Part 1 of this article series, it’s very evident that a great majority of our readers want to as well.\u00a0 Yes, this blog attracts Truth Seekers… like you, who are all tired of the same ol’ same ol’. We all KNOW we aren’t yet SEEING what is True, and in fact never have been. The signs are everywhere that our perceived reality is a complete lie, and there is a shadow reality where the truth resides.<\/p>\n

To get there though — to evolve and be in an intellectually-aware stage to reclaim the rights, freedoms, and privacy that are now being taken from us — requires doing what you’ve been programmed to NOT do:<\/p>\n

Confront life and, as one of our readers, Chuck Dane, said, “respond to it [the seemingly unwanted experiences that are OUT THERE] with a ‘deeper understanding’ which can and does assist in minimizing if not eliminating its impact.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just like you can’t feel or experience good without knowing what bad is, you can’t challenge value systems and controlled processes, or make informed decisions for your family, by creating a stance of innocence and naivety against the outside world.<\/p>\n

As we’ve been saying, your inner and outer world form to create one big synchronistic yin-yang circle.<\/p>\n

And while you can’t change the “big-picture reality” alone, no matter how good your intentions, it is possible to make a difference with the combined efforts of a surprisingly small group of like-minded and focused people.\u00a0 According to Gregg Braden’s book, all you need to start to bring about peace or healing is “the square root of one percent of the population… in a city of a million people, the total is about 100.\u00a0 In a world of 6 billion people, it’s only about 8,000.”<\/p>\n

So that’s how many you need to rally together to jump-start a big-picture change in consciousness.\u00a0 But in the meantime, you can certainly work on changing your own small-picture reality.<\/p>\n

Mystics talk of “the dark night of the soul<\/strong>;” that period of deepest darkness and inner searching prior to the dawn of the light of spiritual liberation. It is the point at which we have to confront our deepest fears and inbuilt prejudices, and overcome them (even as Truman did) in order to step into a new reality.<\/p>\n

Via Part 3 of the series, we’re going to explore who and what groups of people maneuver the puppet strings and put so, so, so many unconscious people in a literal trance.<\/p>\n

Until then (we expect to have the next blog post ready this coming week), we encourage you to spend some quiet time UNDERSTANDING with clarity why you’re used to catering to ineptitude, molly-coddling incompetency, and living in denial about your own “crap”, and the “crap” caused by the people you have influence over.<\/p>\n

Via the 24-page PDF below, you’ll learn why all this is the equivalent of living with your own stench because you were afraid to flush the toilet for fear of what you might see.<\/p>\n
