BEINGNESS AND HUMANITY
Beingness is ALL there is. It is never on or off. It simply is. Humanity is a mask (one of an infinite number) worn by Beingness to experience Itself. All forms (animate or not) are Beingness. It is inconceivable. It can become form and so identify with that form that It forgets (in a limited sense) Its own Essence. This forgetting is necessary in order for It to experience Itself at all. If You are All That Is, You have no point of reference for finding out about Yourself. There is no point of reference because there is nothing else. The illusion of separation is critical in order to create ever-grander "versions" (really concepts) about Yourself and thus experience the thrill and grandeur of being so.
HOWEVER, IT HAS NO EFFECT ON THE ESSENCE OF YOU. "PERFECTION"AND "IMPERFECTION" ARE CONCEPTS BASED UPON JUDGEMENT. JUDGEMENT IS LIKEWISE A CONCEPT WHICH COMES FROM SEPARATION (YET ANOTHER CONCEPT) WHICH IS SPAWNED BY THE GREATEST CONCEPT OF ALL---FEAR. THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN THAT.
In Humanity's case, the "Human Perception" creates religions, icons, philosophies about the Nature of Beingness. Reality becomes fragmented with labels for everything seen to be "different" (i.e. separate) from Itself: animal, vegetable, mineral, etc.
Humanity is a concept, created by the wearer of a human body---You! What most of us call Humanity today is actually a mountain of conflicting mind-sets, held by the majority of "people" on this planet, over a long period of time. These mindsets become so ingrained that they are imagined to be real. They feed off of the attention we give to them (consciously or unconsciously). Our thoughts give life to all mindsets. Want to change the mindset? Change where you are putting your thought. This has nothing to do with the melodramatic (and illusory) battle of good vs. evil. If you "do battle" with a mindset, you put even more energy into it, making it stronger. When, however, you simply focus your attention upon something more preferable to you, you deprive the old mindset of life-giving thought. (Sorry, no light saber duels today!) It will take time for the accumulated thought-energy given the old mindset to be realigned to the new thoughts. There will be times (many or few, depending on the amount of energy given the old mindset in the past) that the old patterns will surface. If you continue to focus on the new thoughts, the old ones will lose their thought-energy and wither. If you don't, the old ones will be given more energy and continue to live. Remember, YOU ARE THE CREATOR---YOUR THOUGHTS CREATE, GIVE LIFE.
