Who are we really in the now?
The essential complete you, or your whole real essence, is a field of awareness that interacts with its own self (Soul) and then becomes both mind/brain and body. In other words, you are consciousness or spirit, which then conceives, constructs, governs, and becomes the mind/brain and the body. The real you are inseparable from the patterns of intelligence that permeate every fiber of creation.
At the deepest level of existence, you are an infinite eternal Being, and you are nowhere and everywhere at the same time. There is no other “you” than the entire cosmos. The God + cosmic mind create the physical universe, and the personal mind/brain (Soul) experiences the physical universe. But in truth, the cosmic mind and our personal mind are both permeated by “God "The Infinite Consciousness”. “God the Infinite Consciousness” is our source, and all manifestation is inherent within it.
“God the Infinite Consciousness” observing itself creates the notion of observer, or the soul; the process of observation, or the mind; and that which is observed, or the body and the world. The observer and the observed create relationships between themselves; this is space. The movement of these relationships creates events; this is time. But all these are none other than the “God the Infinite Consciousness” itself.
In other words, we are “God the Infinite Consciousness” with a “localized point of view” An aspect or facet of the great reality we call God. And yet our whole system of thought divides the “Great Observer God” from the observed us; it divides the “God the Infinite Consciousness” into a world of objects separated by space and time. The “the intellect of the brain” imprisons us in a cage of fictitious images, a suffocating web of space, time, and causation. As a result, we lose touch with the true nature of our reality, which is powerful, boundless, immortal, and free.
We are all prisoners of the “the intellect of the brain”. And the “the intellect of the brain’s mistake in one simple sentence is this: It mistakes the image of reality for reality itself. It squeezes the soul into the volume of a body, in the span of a lifetime, and now the spell of mortality is cast. The image of the self overshadows the unbounded Self, and we feel cut off or disconnected from “God the Infinite Consciousness”, our source.
This is the beginning of fear, the onset of suffering, and all the problems of humanity from our minor insecurities to our major catastrophes like war, terrorism, and all other acts of human degradation. To one who is trapped in the prison of the “the intellect of the brain”, all indeed is suffering. But the cause of the suffering can and should be averted. Ignorance of our real nature causes the inner self to be obscured. But when ignorance is destroyed, the powerful, unbounded, free nature of the self is revealed, and we are released into the knowledge of unimaginable freedom, peace, love and everlasting joy.
The real you are non-material and therefore not subject to the limitations of space, time, matter, and causation. The soul, the spirit, the essential you, is beyond all that. In this very moment, you are surrounded by a pure consciousness. Pure consciousness illuminates and animates your mind and body, and it is powerful, nourishing, invincible, unbounded, and free. Pure consciousness, “God the Infinite
Eternal Spirit”, animates and sustains everything in existence, which means it is omniscient (all knowing), omnipresent (present in all locations simultaneously), and omnipotent (all powerful). “And when we learn and grow and evolve into understanding we shall be all those things also, indeed co- creators with God”

What is a Mystic?
A mystic is one who, above all else in life, desires to know, not in the
intellectual sense of knowing, the deepest Truth of existence. A mystic is one
who senses more to life than making a living or being of service in the world
although these things are both necessary and good. The mystic, however, is
looking beyond an exclusive or preoccupied focus on these survival or
self-actualization to something more. He is looking to discover the deepest
truth of our being as incarnate souls; to understand our greatest potential as
reflections of God; to realize our wholeness within the ground of all. The
primary interest in life for the mystic is to discover truth, to know God; to
see into mans whole nature. The mystic sees all of life as an abundant
opportunity to discover, realize, and express the Divine.
Mysticism springs from an insatiable curiosity for understanding the essential
questions of life: matters of God, creation, the infinite and the human
potential for knowing truth. The mystic is in reality the ultimate scientist
who, looking beyond the apparent or obvious in all matters, asks, "Is this
that I am seeing reality or the illusions that stem from fear?" "What
existed before this sense of reality?" "What existed before my mental
constructs, my beliefs, and my self identity?" "Who is this that
observes and is self-reflecting?" "What is at life's very source?
A mystic seeks to merge with the God mind to know the source
of all knowledge. I have done this but my human frame and brain does not enable
me to retain all knowledge about every thing. It is like plugging into a source

HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE
Alan McDougall:
Here is an essay I wrote a while back that might give you insight how to plan
and live your life as best you can
Alan
Practical Advice How to live your life
Trust God and the guidance of those that love you. Have faith in God.
Your time on earth is so limited so embrace life and live it to the full and
savor all the joy and happiness it can give you, pluck the beautiful fruits off
the tree of life and share it with your fellow beings
Remember what you have forgotten
You are given all the tools and resources you need during your life and what
you do with them is up to you.
You are responsible and accountable for your actions in life, every deed, word,
and thought.
Think before you utter a word because once spoken it can never be taken back
Be grateful for the life that God has given you. The old old saying “count your
blessing one by one”, reverberates in its truth across the universe.
Be aware of what is happening around you and don’t let the beautiful gift of
live come and go without you noticing it in all its beauty and meaning
Be willing to try to do your best in life, “Life does not require that we be
the best-------- only that we try” (H Jackson Brown Jr.)
Love overcomes all barriers and banishes the useless attribute hate
Be honest with yourself and others all the time it checking each word and
statement you utter before it leaves your mind in the form of writing or
speech. Remember you can lie to yourself so often that you can finally believe
it as truth.
A lie in any dialogue, debate or communiqué results in the entire being flawed
and void of real truth. A molecule of cyanide mixed into a glass of sparking
spring water will kill you; it is the Lie that separated us from God in the Finale.
Be patient with your partner, loved ones and especially yourself. Impatience
can grow into anger and anger into hate.
You only live in the here and now and this is the platform for the rest of your
life, a new beginning not an end. I f you can live in the moment you will find
peace.
What you hate in another is what you hate in yourself, so banish the most
destructive attribute from your life and learn to love yourself.
Be tolerant and nonjudgmental to both yourself and to others. Change what you
can.
There are some situations or events that you simply cant alter so release them
into the wind of healing
Do you want to live in a prison most of your live. Well if you start
destructive habits that lead to addition you become trapped in a prison of your
own making. Withdrawal will make you return to these false highs again and
again until you run out of options and come to the cross roads of Life or Death
Choose life
Be courageous bravery is not being fearless, bravery is overcoming your fear
Destructive habits and additions can only really be overcome in if you really
really want to stop even if you die in the process of regaining your God given
free will.
Replace evil habits with good and positive ones, Opiate additions can be
overcome by running as running makes your brain make endorphins that are much
more powerful than any drug
Real wealth and abundance is when you are contented with what you have
In order to grow through life one must first establish a harmony within
oneself, harness all our natural talents, gifts, formal and non-formal
education towards the essential goals in life. Chose early that which you love
and do the utmost to make that your career and you will not really have to work
one day in your life. Establish a hierarchy of preferences and aim for those
most realistic and highest on the list.
Imagine you have only one year of life left and list the things you would do if
this were all the time left for you. Incorporate this into the list, ranking
all the events, and look at it. It should give you much food for thought in
planning your journey through life.
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood (Helen
Keller).
Be a perfect listener, observe what is happening around you by this your response
will be the correct one
There is one set of cloths that you will carry for your whole life, your body a
gift from god so appreciate ,look after it and love it Accept what you cannot
change and change for the better what you can.
Self esteem is the highest morality if you hate yourself you will hate others
and if you love and appreciate yourself you will love and appreciate others. No
one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You are in a partnership
with your body it is the
Pleasure should be the manifestation of inner joy and you experience through
your five senses normally, but sometimes the sixth sense gives you glimpses of
the eternal places of happiness. It is not a sin to have fun and be glad you
are alive.
God has given you eyelids so close then and don’t let Depravity in all its
forms into your mind. The eye is the window to the soul, look into the eyes of
a stranger and you will hear your mind saying “beauty, kind, shy, bad, ugly,
evil” or remote etc. By just one careful look, one can read much about the
character of one you do not know. When alarm bells ring in your mind, please
listen to them.
Look, listen, read and enjoy that which is good and healthy to the mind. Guard
all the doors or inputs to your mind; you are the one that permits these images
or sounds into your brain. What we allow into our minds in of such prime
importance that it cannot be overstated.
The greatest attributes are wisdom and honesty so be actively honest and
truthful. When you are totally honest God is nearest.
You are or will be the combined result of the choices you make in life. Life
will throw you some hard curve balls so try to catch them and make something
positive out of them.
Be fair with yourself and others but remember life is not always fair and your
circumstances are unique so address them with your own wisdom or with the help
and love of those you admire as wise.
Become a person of grace by embracing your higher spiritual self, it is grace
that leads you into eternity.
Let compassion grow in your inner being and look at the plight of others in
great need and those that are suffering and in pain, hunger, sorrow and disease
, pray or send positive thoughts to them, this does help even if you cannot see
the results..
You are bound by your own ethics, morality and conscious and if you live
according to those your life will be more peaceful. It is not really God who judges
you; it is you who judges yourself at the end of the day.
Humor is a great secret of bodily as well as mental health, so find what makes
you laugh and laugh out loud and often, this will flood your body and brain
with healing brain hormones and endorphins. The greatest lesson is possibly not
taking ourselves seriously and laughing at ourselves
Laughter is a seed to happiness
The lessons of life will be repeated to you over and over again until you have
learned them and only when you have learned them can you move on to the next
lesson in the great school we call life
Never ever, stop learning, even if you live to be one hundred years of age.
Fascination with all things around you makes a rich and wonderful personality.
A very high-developed sense of humor is of absolute prime importance in order
to overcome the pitfalls of life. You might say, ‘well that’s all right for the
young but I am middle aged or older, However no matter what ones age, do the
suggested exercise and you will be amazed at the richness and opportunities out
there still within your grasp. Life is rich and has so much to offer us all. Be
positive in the midst of negativity by using that powerful tool, your sense of
humor. Very important absolute necessity of very carefully choosing a real soul
mate and friend who travel’s the road of life with you, namely your spouse
“Love and cherish God together.
Establish and maintain a link to the Divine, each one in their own personal
way, be it by meditations, prayer, or contemplation of the glory of existence.
Do whatever invigorates you the most. Make life fun, pleasurable, happy, joyful
but never depraved. “Don’t practice sin” Really, life should be exquisite, fun,
pleasurable, enjoyable and glorious. Avoid unhealthy obsessions like a plague.
However not all obsessions are unhealthy and the magnificent obsession is the
love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
There are energy vampires, who will drain you of your life energy, leave you
exhausted and depressed. Avoid them where practical.
Make your friends are energy invigorators and try to be one yourself. Again,
the key here is ones sense of humor. The mendacious are a pain and do not make
good company but sometimes we can overlook and just laugh at their ridiculous
stories.
Of course, life is not always a bed of roses and those dark times will come to
us all. Nevertheless, when in the long cold night of darkness of hopelessness
and despair, one should always realize that the dawn will always come again and
the sun shine warm once again upon ones cheek in the morning of joy. Take it
from someone who really knows!
Oh! How important it is to be forgiving. Unforgiveness has no purpose and will
fester like a malignant tumor and result in ill health, doing more harm to
yourself than to the one you will not forgive. Love each other. However, how
does one do this? Love is an action, so do love, even if you don’t feel it.
Carry it out by actions.
Compassion is a wonderful unique human quality, so enhance this within your
being to the utmost degree. Read and study your bible daily. Have dialogue with
God by prayer.
Don’t allow anyone to take away from you that which you know is true to
yourself. Honesty is the best policy.
Wisdom comes with the passing years, but asks children difficult questions and
you will be amazed at their insight.
Live life like an incandescent light, glowing brightly until you put off this
mortal cloak and blink out of existence. In other words, live until your
demise.
Savor and cherish each glorious moment. Be careful not to say hurtful things to
others because once the words have left your lips you can never take them back.
You legacy will become the heritage of those that come after you, and so what
you do with your life is not only important to yourself. There is one companion
that will be with you every moment of your life and you should love this person
as much as you love anything in the whole world. This precious person is none
other than you. Use and develop your intuition to a very high degree and it
will help you from stumbling on the rocks along the pathways of Life.
Have you not been aware when you come into a room and meet a stranger that
there is an instant liking or dislike between the two of you? On the other
hand, you have felt that a course of action was wrong and the closer you got
the more uncomfortable you got with this course of action. These are examples
of intuition, listen and adjust to them carefully and you could avoid much pain
sorrow and anguish in your life.
You are truly absolutely 100% unique. There has never been one like you, there
is now no one like you, and in all the future eternities, there will never be
another just like. Of you fathers half billion sperm cells, only one reached
you mother’s egg and this was you. No has ever had your unique genetic D.N.A.
code or fingerprint. Are you not, therefore, very special and is it so wrong to
love and respect the wonderful creation you are?
Go outside or get away from the noise of the city and in the quiet of early
morning listen carefully, you will hear the birds chirping like beautiful
electrons in the mind of God. Take in the glory of existence all around and
feast your eyes on its beauty.
You know, of all the countless trillions of snowflakes, leaves, flowers, and no
two are identical and each one is a unique creation of the Divine mind of God.
Feel the breeze upon your skin, smell the fragrance of the universe bath in the
glory and joy of you existence.
Be at peace with yourself and all the rest of the universe. You are a child of
the universe, so special and wonderful. Develop the dormant senses beyond the
five that are not utilized, and you will merge yourself in the wonder of the
cosmic mind.
Take your mind into the place of unimaginable beauty and wonder, go on a
journey into places you have never been and go further into the cosmic vastness
of the beauty of the universe, with the power of imagination.
What is the purpose of life? It is to live it to the full, without hurting
others or doing the depraved. Charity is wonderful gift to the soul. Question
everything with a sense of anticipation and wonder.
Love and respect your mortal body, as it is the vehicle that takes on this
journey through mortal life on earth. However, know this your consciousness or
life energy is eternal and continues on forever, beyond the last curtain of
life on this blessed earth.
Planet earth is our beloved mother and we must preserve her, love her and
cherish her in all her blue glory. She is a blue blazing diamond glowing brightly
in the vastness of the universe. Love all Gods’ creatures.
Get all your priorities in order. Spouse, companion, family and children first.
A balance in life between ones occupation and home life is essential or the
psyche becomes unbalanced and depression and anxiety will take hold of you.
Take much time to be with the one you know best, namely, yourself.
Life is a school and if you do not pass a test, you will repeat it repeatedly
until you have passed it and only then be able to move on. Life made up of
countless choices and each choice could ultimately determine and define ones
destiny. Refer back to chapter one!
How we maintain good health, I think by developing a powerful sense of humor,
much laughter and exposing one to things we find extremely funny. Then having
sufficient exercise combined with a balanced diet of fish and a combination of
as many brightly colored fruit and vegetables as one can afford. Genetic
proposition unfortunately plays a factor not always under our control. Red meat
should be restricted to the rare occasion. Remember, your body is the temple of
the Holy Spirit and if you pollute it with toxic substances, you will suffer
the consequences thereof.
I, however, acknowledge that the complexities and realities of life are much
more complex than what I have written in my brief essay and thousands of
voluminous unreadable books have been written of this subject. Therefore, the
above is my humble attempt, be it what it may.

Similarly the
uncertainty in the predictability of the actions of quantum particles like
electrons indicates the presence of self awareness/consciousness in them! All
matter finally boils down to these quantum particles. So, does this mean that
universe is self aware and this awareness is spread across all things that make
up this universe and at all levels starting from the quantum particles to the
universe itself, and universe is is the highest level of awareness? not only me,
you, but not everything in the universe is self aware?
If the universe is
self aware, then what is your/my awareness all about? Probably a low level
awareness, that becomes complete and gets a true picture when it can realize
the higher level universal awareness? Or are we a part of that real universal
awareness
The entire
universe is just an infinitesimal fragment of the Great
reality Mind to whom we must one day all account for the actions done in our
lives on earth
Origin
of Evil by Alan McDougall.
Here
are my conclusions on the origin of Evil.
I
cannot comprehend the view that a perfect, good; loving god of pure light could
ever conceive the concept of evil in his totally pure and holy mind.
Evil is totally opposite to gods absolute goodness, completely alien to his
innate intrinsic nature and essence. All evil is a monstrous abomination to
God.
God
is perfect and would, therefore, does not permit the concept of evil to
originate or exist in his perfect holy mind or in his presence of pure light.
How then could god create a being with the "potential" for the utter
evil that we see all around us on planet earth and in the universe? (Lucifer,
eve, Adam and some of mankind)? Lucifer was perfect when created! Adam was
innocent!
How could a perfect being like Lucifer become corrupt? I like to use the
analogy of the perfect motor car. A perfect motor car would simply last forever
in its original perfect condition. Except under one condition "outside
destructive interference".
The very same result would be with a perfect being such as Lucifer! (Who told
him he was beautiful? certainly not God!) God would never write into his book
of existence the concept or possibility of a malignant thing such as evil. Evil
must, therefore, have originated outside of his perfect self and mind! What
possible use could evil be to god?
God is omnipotent (all-powerful), omnipresent (all - present) and omniscient
(all - knowing) he is however not "everything" god is "light"
and in him is no darkness whatsoever! , Therefore, "darkness" must be
an external something separate from Himself.
I know from experience, that the source of EVIL and its origin is from some
external eternal monster that lurks remote from god in the primeval darkness of
the deep (Gen 1:1). I call this place the "void"(hell). I am
convinced that the ‘(‘VOID’) is HELL by a terrifying personal experience during
a near death episode.
I was shown an evil monster of almost infinite intelligence lurks in the
deepest darkness of the void (hell), while there. It is this eternal monster
that I believe tempted Lucifer, resulting in his downfall and his metamorphosis
into Satan or the Devil. This monster is the complete opposite to god and
dwells in utmost darkness deep, and very remote from god. I know this is true
as I was shown this Malignant Monstrous Beast by an intelligence I took for
God, while in the Void (HELL).
I was told that it is God’s eternal enemy and the reason for evil and its
origin and perpetuation. This thing is almost as mighty as God is himself!
(Light against darkness). It seemed to be some type of antigod? There is an
Anti-Christ-why not an Anti-God, Maybe they are one and the same evil being?
If we do not accept my explanation, then one must go to the Bible and read
Isaiah 45; 7 were GOD says" I form the light, and create darkness; I make
peace, and create evil: I the lord do all these things. This verse could be a
very definite and clear indication of the origin of evil; namely evil originating
from god himself and god having two natures.
On what basis do I justify my previous statements? They are justified on the
basis of my own personal terrible confrontation with this evil monster that
lurks deep in the "Void” or hell. (Three times during brought on by near
death episodes).
This
"void" monster is worshiped by Satan and I am convinced is the
ultimate source and origin of all evil. Satan did not confront me during one of
my near death experiences, but by something almost infinitely worse! Satan is
the prince of darkness, not the king of Evil! This thing is god’s eternal enemy
and has a diabolic almost infinite evil dark intelligence and power.
I experienced that God due to his innate perfection is forced to judge Evil
(darkness) and remove it forever from his being. I felt this judgment more as
an emotional separation from God, with feelings of utter darkness, desolation,
despair, and fear terror, horror and everlasting dark cold hopelessness, the
Void.
I
was shown that totally depraved dark evil beings , would have to eternally
exist, somewhere far together, forever, separate and remote from god’s love and
could never enter his light. (Darkness cannot penetrate the light!). Because of
their utter evil depravity and darkness, totally
Evil
and Depraved beings would never enter Gods light and would be forgotten by God
in their own Evil Depraved Perversions forever in the Void” A terrible
thought".
When
I was so very ill, I communicated with intelligence, who revealed these things
to me? I got the impression that God would someday rescue persons of much
lesser evil, who had some light (goodness) in them. From the lesser upper
regions of the Void into His eternal blessed light. (Out of the eternal darkness).
Let me assure the reader that there is no love, joy peace or light in the Void.
Only utmost hopeless desolation and everlasting despair.
There is Good and Evil throughout the Universe. I know this from personal
experience! The battle is from Eternal past but God will destroy the Beast of
the Abysses
But
do not despair if you are reading this short essay of mine, you are safe
because God is within you and you have a spark of eternal life energy that can
never be extinguished. This light will one day become a blazing furnace of
love.
God
does not have two natures!
God is love!
GOD
IS GOOD

Ideas are not really destroyed but they evolve into something unrecognisable from what they were initially. We the universe and all existence are just "THOUGHTS"
The universe is an ever changing evolving thought. We are a thought in the mind of God and God of whom we are part of, is a thought in the mind of man and much much more than that
The universe in not just a great well oiled machine it is a wondrous beautiful thought
You and I briefly exist in this mortal frame but we have always existed within the composite entity most refer to as God. God is God we are fundamental sentient intelligent atoms if you like within the Great Infinite Ocean God
Infinity is a despised word to mathematicians, it is an oxymoron an impossible true reality, the only way I can perceive infinity is in something revolving eternally in a ring or circuit
Is there something like linear infinity or linear eternity or linear time,? Like a road that extends in both direction without beginning or end forever, maybe but to understand that I need a higher intellect that mine to comprehend this impossible reality
Brian I am not disagreeing with you, we can learn from each other, two heads are not just twice as good they are eight times as good
