Make Your 'Self' a Vacuum.

Ahhh…spirituality is so life affirming. Our cup runneth over with life affirming sentiments and so many spiritual websites reflect this. But, what if this is not life and we’re simply waiting to realize ‘life.’ Are we then inadvertently affirming what is actually more a ‘death,’ than a life?

The ego is a ‘judgment’ machine. It has only two perspectives available through its enduring faculty of judgment, affirmation and negation. It either accepts or rejects. However, it seems clear that rejection of parts of reality create reality as much as acceptance.

Rejection of hate and war tends to affirm it as ‘real,’ which can only, inadvertently, reject love and peace. Affirming love and peace as real, affirms its opposite must also be real. Like one of those circular catch-22 situations, to affirm is to reject and to reject is to affirm and both make it real.

So why not just reject everything and affirm nothing?

Obviously, through this inverted, fuzzy logic, it seems you would then inadvertently affirm the existence of all opposites to what is rejected. For instance, if I reject love and peace, I would subsequently affirm hate and war.

Ahhh…but here’s the rub, not only can you reject hate and war, but love and peace as well.

Reject all of it. Make your ego a rejection machine through its capacity to judge. Rejecting something as ‘truth’ does not mean it must be destroyed, since destruction must be rejected as well.

Now, rejecting doesn’t take much work, as opposed to affirming, which asserts that you know truth. Merely respond to everything you think you know with “nope, that’s not it!” Because, obviously you have no idea what "truth' is so reject everything that represents itself as 'real' or truth in anyway.

Seems to me, this might be a lot easier for some folks, particularly those who have spent their lives rejecting hate and war in the belief that such rejection would make love and peace more abundant. Yet, clearly, in the preceding century, and into the present, hate and war seem on the upswing or, at the least, no less abundant than love and peace.

But the point is that we want hate and war to be entirely, or ‘absolutely’ absent and love and peace to be 'absolutely' present. Therefore, we need love and peace to be gone as well. Because, let’s face it, all we ever perpetuate are relative perspectives. One ego’s perception of the way to love and peace is another ego’s means to war. We’re seeking for absolute love and peace through relative perspectives, which can only engender and reinforce relative opposites such as hate and war.

So, go ahead, make yourself a vacuum and reject it all.

Reject hate and war, but also reject love and peace (because, now really folks, do we have any idea what love and peace are, absolutely?). Maybe all this affirmative spiritual-religious, blah, blah, blah is not what it’s about anyway and never was.

Now I certainly recognize this idea might be highly volatile to the lightworkers who have based, and conducted, their entire existence on spreading the light of love and peace. But wait till they get a load of the idea that all their spreading of the ‘light’ has only served to equally intensify the opposite, darkness. Actually, they have installed and reinforced the darkness as much as they have perpetuated the ‘light.’ I imagine they will reject this idea with all their might.

But then, obviously, that would prove the theory correct since, in our opposition we might not be very ‘loving.’ LOL!

So reject all of it and empty yourself of everything you think you know and accept the soothing vacuum of “nothingness” (of course, it’s frightening at first, but don’t worry, your ego will soon enjoy rejecting every idea it can conjure up and interpret as ‘truth). Reject that you know anything at all and thereby stop affirming what you know nothing about.

You see, the ego-self, makes interpretations and then experiences what it has interpreted. Therefore, in rejecting every interpretation your egoic mind comes up with, you’ll be free to allow for the surprise of “and now for something completely different” (Monty Python).

Otherwise, you’ll continue to experience what you’ve always expected which is cyclically equal parts of love and hate. Maybe real life has ‘absolutely’ nothing to do with all our relative perspectives and once we give them up we will be free to finally live with Truth.

Ready to reject all you know by accepting that you know nothing? Or would you prefer to continue to perpetuate what you know nothing about?

Of course, this means that you then must reject everything I have just said. Hahaa!!

Peace through rejection!
