MERGING WITH G-D FACE TO FACE IN SELF ACCEPTANCE

People create tremendous anxiety for themselves by feeling there is something they need to change.That need to "change something" only stems from their devaluing of themselves, they see themselves within a context of something being wrong, as opposed to right. The more one realize one can't change anything, or ignore it, (or at least delude themselves for just a bit thinking they can, until it strikes again), - just increases their anxiety, and ultimately their rebellion deepens, their disappointment becomes greater, their compulsions increases, as does their co-dependence.

Its not so much a story of suppression as it is a mystery of self acceptance. When one is caught in a thorn warring with it, one fails to see the rose. And when one finally sees the rose, one finally is drawn and raised above to the array of flowers blossoming in the field. And when one finally sees the array of flowers blossoming in the field, suddenly one sees the trees, the lakes, the skies, the stars and beyond...

Only through the magnificent awakening that comes from acceptance is transcendence. And one no longer is bound to the struggle with that small miserable part, precious time together with grand glorious things passing by.

When the mighty angel struggled with Jacob, it was only set free, the fight ending when Jacob finally revealed his name, when asked it. And Jacob, revealing his name, knowing it, who he was and is, suddenly he was made to become much greater, becoming Israel, the mighty angel simply vanishing, nameless. But the door to his becoming Israel, was his own name.

People devaluing themselves creates internal pain that fights back endlessly. It is ultimately devaluing the G-d that created them so whole and so perfect in every way. Adam, the first man devalued himself, and that led one thing to another, till he fell from paradise. That devaluation of himself led to sin. Lack led to error. A devaluing of himself, looking for fulfillment elsewhere, increasing his faulty, self-perception, one of lack and need, led to his depression. If he reveled in his perfection before the G-d who made him so, in that increasing his self-value, he would eternally have continually ascended higher and higher, and enter into unimaginable paradise forever. His sin was not the act of eating of the tree, (since that was done by another whom he valued much more than himself), his sin was his devaluing his perfection before the G-d that perfectly breathed life into him. His error was in his lack of self-acceptance, and lack of unconditional self-love.

The awesome realization that wakes in the conscious presence of a boundless unconditional love, gives rise to a humble, painless, anxiety free self that desires suddenly only to constantly remain in that awe, and in that lovely feeling of bliss only born from an awareness that there is only love, unconditional and competely accepting. At that moment only truth continually overcomes one, until it overtakes one with a priority to remain in that love, in the awe, and in the perfection of being present before its very self, and ultimately its G-d that continually breathes life into it, in its core center. As Moses knew his "G-d face to face", displaying boundless unconditional love toward himself, his G-d, and his people, protecting them, praying for them, loving them, never speaking evil against them, accepting them, defending them, forgiving them, praising them regardless of their shortcomings...for Moses knew that total self acceptance, even of his inherent (or not) imperfections, was his gateway to a perfect divine life in the face of his awesome G-d, that very consciousness leading him to value the people he led with an "unconditional positive regard", as the great Carl Rogers put it.

Doing the wrong things born from devaluation, (because a devaluing consciousness is in pain and will ultimately fall to the wrong and be victim to another), suddenly one will only do the right, because in ones self value constantly on the increase, one increases toward complete self acceptance, continually inspiring the right, and merging with the ultimate right of all rights, love of all loves, being of all beings, one, complete, and experiencing its divine destiny: Absolute Liberation.

THE SPILL AND THE FALL OF SELF

Nothing topples the mind, and overthrows the equilibrium of the brain as spilling seed. No longer is one of clear control of ones feelings and thoughts, but rather in a whirlpool of chaos. The sexual impulses rise much richer and much stronger after days of purity and cleanliness. Its virtually impossible to resist the sweet and heavy urges of sexual gratification after abstinence. It is an inevitable fall from grace, from revelation, from an outpouring of merciful light. What is released after self sexual stimulation are mirrors into what Jung perhaps calls the shadow self, but they are broken mirrors, and a shattered self. They are lethargic templates for depression, misinterpretation, misthought and misdeeds. Yet some are indeed able to overcome such temptations and they are indeed and rightly so, called, masters. They are heroes elevated to such rank, truly victorious warriors worthy of the universe's deepest treasures. The spiral of time continues as the web of existence moves us, pulls us, and thrusts us forward as we perceive, fall, dip, rise and pull ourselves up toward the wake of our ultimate messianic revelation. The key to free the guilt that destroys us is none other, but forgiveness. Only forgiveness sweetens our bitterness. We will go on punishing ourselves with disease until we forgive ourselves and set ourselves free. The truth is to cleave to the One, the center and core of your life that sustains you, that of course knows the failures of your default human nature, and so above all, loves you beyond your wildest imagination, and forgives you beyond your most resistant and stubborn refusal to forgive yourself. But your key is to ever seek that thing forgiveness for your own sorry and beautiful self, by your self to your true Self, and that Self of selves in the midst of your heart in the center of your mind that teaches you to understand with an unspoken wisdom and silence that's brighter and more brilliant than sound the difference between what is obviously wrong and obviously right. Learn. Learn the lessons, and simply learn and know and separate what you truly know is wrong, from what you know is right. And continually look for the good in all things at all moments, pursue peace, and do according to your will, directed by the will and law of love. "Love All as you Love Your Self".

SELF NULLIFYING IN ECSTACY & THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM

The conscious attainment for a living, vibrant and most simple non-existence is at the heart of our life and discipline. It is such a life, that in the presence of the living non-existence, is a life much greater than any sense of physical tangible self. However, the conscious pursuit of nullifying that animal self, as has been described metaphorically by the arduous process of turning wheat to bread, leads one to a most satisfying and pleasurable matrix of supernal light structures, that by their merit nullify that heavy darkness from which they emanate. The darkness is ones natural self, that is naturally dead, a hard shell reaching towards the grave, but the light of ones higher self, ones soul, beaming beyond time forever in ecstasy, may only be attained by the hard but pleasant contradictory nature of negating the myriad of ones physical animal instincts.

You must know though, that the ego-centric pursuit of this light, and those pleasures that it inevitably fuels, the desires born from ones private imagination and animal-centered individual nature will only serve to fool. It is to be understood that the Uni-verse is two-fold, dualistic and paradoxical, a unified plethora of contradictions. In this respect, on that dualistic level, before it emerges into the One, there is 2. There is you, your will, your animal nature, and there is a Will greater, your will, your divine soul nature. The divine and ecstatic nullification of your lower will by your higher, eventually merges with the unknowable Will beyond in the realm of non-existence, and on this level, beyond even the one, however, at present on this lowly level they are entirely different, 2 polar opposites pulling against each other. At the dissolution of the animal self, begins the outpouring of its ultimate and most priceless reward. But again, and importantly so, not at the will of the self's glory. Not at the will of ones own fancy, and ones rules one creates for itself, for that will only lead to misery, because it fails to naturally conform to what it was designed to. The key being joy to. Joy to merge and give up the animal, to sacrifice it, as has been shown in the past, the many forms of it, the sheepish, the bullish, the dovish, the goatish aspects of the animal self. But not by ones own rules, but by the rules of those that have successfully mastered the art of nullification, and made entry into the gates of Higher consciousness and beyond and as it has been recorded in scripture. Particularly the ancient and eternal 5 books of Moses, the Torah, and the individuals that followed, conforming to that ego-less, and above all ecstatic system of revelation, revealing the rules, the channels, the archetypal bridges that are the conduits for the influx of that light from the Highest to the Lowest.

Great masters who were called for this ego-less pursuit of the greater life have been awarded the revelation of the matrix of light structures above. They were delivered the very measurements, rules and regulations of these structures at every step and breath they took, by trial and error, been shown at every test and pass, the supernal kingdom, as it exists within every passage of self. They are structures upon which entire physical existence rests. They are eternal structures that will never be erased. They dictate all the rules and mechanics of the physical universe, as well as the emotional and intellectual.

In this respect, there is no religion, but certain selves that attained the revelation of the Uni-verse as it exists internally. To them was revealed the paths to the kingdom that exists on supernal levels. Those paths stretch from every corner of the earth, to every nation on the planet, and culminate in Jerusalem, where the superstructure, the super-architecture, the super-model of the Uni-verse on every imaginable and unimaginable plain are revealed, the Bayis Ha MikDash, may it be rebuilt in our time.

PLANT THERAPY VS. SPONTANEOUS IMAGERY

Capella University, response.

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for your beautiful response.

I believe that vulnerability in the field of psychology is of great importance. Its those defenses we need to face and "dissolve" (of course appropriately), if we are to make truthful empathic counselors or psychologists. What I mean to say is that sometimes we exert overwhelming energy in areas that require none at all. Who are we to be ashamed of ourselves, if we pursue true knowledge and true wisdom, and of course true liberation, not only for ourselves, but to countless others all around us, especially in our practice.

My thoughts are that alternative medicine is an aid for those who need that aid, a helping hand in entering those locked, tightly closed gates of the unconscious mind, storing gems underneath fear, guilt and complexes. However, for those who are sensitive, naturally endowed with a penetrating vision, it is not necessary. One, can enter those realms by means of allowing unrestricted imagery and creativity to flow through one's mind and life. This can be just as unsettling to one, as an altered state of mind induced by a substance. There are chemicals in the brain that, just as they are easily aroused by sexual attraction, may be aroused to pop and bounce under all kinds of influence exerted by the gravity of thoughts and desires. In other words, the brain listens to the mind, it is taught by it, influenced by it, and behaves as it is directed and trained...

At the moment I'm sinking my "hungry" teeth into Jung (if you haven't noticed already). There is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom hidden beneath what ever it is we call, or miscall our "selves". Our true selves, our G-dly soul and nature...

Look fwd to learning and chatting more with you...
Wishing you the best,

Psychedelic Plants: Paving the way back to the garden of Eden.

Initially I found it cumbersome to focus on what exactly I desired to research within my Clinical & Counseling specialization, the field being so very broad with a multitude of avenues. Also being the fact that my particular interest may be somewhat controversial, yet still very much within the realm of neuroscience, I conjured up the courage to begin exploring this field at this opportunity.

For some reason, the topic of Psychedelic Healing resonates with me. Coming from a background of psychiatrists and psychologists, since I was very young, I had a distasteful reaction to the idea of pharmaceutical medicines and healing methods that were divorced from nature, or sought to divorce man’s relationship with the divine. It seemed typical that the field of psychology saw “God” or “Spiritual Phenomena” lending themselves to pathological neurotic states of mind. However necessary, contributing and rewarding the field of science has been to enhance human life, I found them removed and missing of one very important aspect indeed, and that is the human need for spiritual existence, the soul, the irrational realm of spirit and religious experience that undeniably betters and enhances ones personal well-being, motivating acts of prosocial behavior, keeping families and communities together, relieving stress, anxiety and addiction disorders, and ultimately warmly preparing ones way entering the inevitable gates of death.

As I grew older I walked down many streets of different faiths and cults, seeking the common truth within all of them that burns at relieving man’s existential crisis. The religious experience was common to all of them, but the language in which to express or explain these experiences vastly differed, to the point of intolerance, threat and ultimate excommunication. The cult conscience that separated them all was as common as their identical mystical experience that embraced them all together. Lost in translating their epic personal experiences within the context of their limited culturally and politically bound physical life, they all resorted to the devices of guilt to keep or own their magical experiences unique to themselves, pure only in the context of their own language. Yet, the experience was one and the same amongst all the difference languages, religions and cults. The divine experience revealing basically that an ecstatic life comes from doing what’s good, and abstaining from what is bad. Just that alone gets too easily lost in translation among people struggling to define these moral dilemmas. But as humanity moves forward toward ultimate realization, the One beyond time will certainly reveal to us through trial and error, individually, together, just what these actions are that bring us to ecstasy and what those actions are that redeem us from our personal misery and hell.

Interestingly enough, some people simply are not endowed with an ability to explore irrational spiritual realms naturally, but rather they are gifted with delineating and refining the understanding of the properties and mechanics of the physical world, its governing laws, conducting their behavior in such a way that will yield tangible, positive results. For them religion or its accompanying experiences poses a threat to the, rightly so, importance of their concrete, rational minds. Having being naturally endowed with such qualities, that are in themselves divine, only nature itself has the ability to relate to them the existence of other unseen realms that they themselves cannot in their own natures easily access. And that alone brings me to the subject of the grand importance of natures gifts in delivering to humanity the knowledge of worlds unseen through the living chemistry embodied in psychedelic plants, really the medicine to heal and pave the way back to the deep love and humanity that is the root of every single human being.

AJO SACHA & SALVIA DIVINORUM

Presently revisiting the study of sacred plants, as they will be utilized in clinical therapy. Previously, I was under strict guidance of a celebrated and respected Shaman from Peru, who put me on the Ajo Sacha diet for 3 months, which I adhered to faithfully. The diet forbade in any kind of sexual stimulation what so ever, as well as abstaining from all the red meats with the exception of unsalted chicken and fish. Sugars, or fruit high in sugar were strictly avoided. Eating in restaurants was discouraged as well as consuming food prepared by a women on her monthly cycle. A A nightly tea cup dosage every evening before bed time was recommended.

Its a powerful plant most respected by serious shamans. There is an undeniable certainty, clarity and focus that dawn upon one, after the 2nd week. It is a masculine effect accentuating assertiveness, bold courage, and confidence. The dreams have clarity and often deal directly with the self. In other words, it seems the messages of the dreams are unconfused, clear, and direct inline revealing the nature and ones relationship to ones true self.

The reason I mentioned Salvia Divinorum because presently legal in some states, it does lend itself as a great holy substitute to Ayahuasca, being an entheogen of unimaginably profound, terrifying and enlightening proportions. This sacred plant reveals unashamedly the mystery of the non-being, or G-d, within the individual. It can force one to encounter strange blocks and rich symbols of ones disassociation from the "ground of ones being" as Dr. Neal Goldsmith calls it in his celebrated book "Psychedelic Healing". These entheogens are no joke, but powerful species of living organisms that reacting with the chemicals of the human brain, strip away false notions of identity, personality disturbances and self imposed psychological obstacles. They indeed have to be taken with extreme care and respect, and dear reverence. These plants honestly shed light upon the notion of "the beginning of wisdom, is the fear of the Almighty" from the hebrew scriputures as recorded by King Solomon.

After a period of cleansing one's blood of impurities and one's mind of psychological clutter with Ajo Sacha, the intention is to sweep the remaining residue, and flush it down the cosmic toilet for good with the sacred entheogenic plant.

Blessings to you all,
Always,
Sha-Ron Kushnir.
