Workshops making yourself better? Better at what? If we fail to regenerate right now, the abyss, which is ourselves, must obliterate all.
The transformation is in the individual, not in the self, not in the society. The individual, in real sense, is indivisible. The individual is the whole.  Self is society, completely divided, a conglomeration of multiple selves, perpetually transfixed and, from bedroom to battlefield, repetitively, competitively, inevitably warring. Every fix, every adjustment to self is futile. All supports it seeks by way of drugs, clubs, gurus and likeminded selves are mere perpetuation of madness. Self must burn beyond ashes in order for the indivisible individual to be. There is no graduation, no process for self. All your workshops, all your processes are mere perpetuation of madness. Self, can you stomach this fact?

Love is not thought. You cannot think love. Thought throws up feelings of pleasure, desire, worry, uncontrollable want. This is not love. Love is not a feeling. Love is never feeling. Love is not pandering to image, your image, others' images. All your relationships you interpret as love are merely relationship between images.
This movement between images is never love. Yet, this is what the world takes to be love, in the love songs, the personal relationships, the marriages, the enforcement of worldly norms of ambition, envy, greed on our children, all of which love is not.
Ask yourself these questions: Is it possible to live without image? Is it possible just to be as you are? Next time you stand in front of a mirror, just look at yourself. Look without movement of thought. Bear the pain, if only for a moment, while truly looking at yourself. Face the fear and look.
Allow your heart to consider what is being said. Allow the heart to observe. Only then is there love present seeing the truth of desire in action spinning out time through thought, spinning out more confusion and fear in the declaration of its world. 
You will surely see it. Fear and love do not go together. Fear is thought yoked to pleasure. But love, true love, stands alone. Love is its own fulfilment. 

In your direct experience, life begins and ends in you. This is a fact. I am speaking on direct experience, this immediacy now. Life begins and ends in this moment now. There is no life other than life now that you experience through your body.

As a corollary, it can be seen that the beginning is unendingly now. The ideas of a Big Bang or a creator back in the past are assumptions arising from the mind which is always behind the immediacy of now. The mind is past. Therefore, the world, a projection of the mind, must also be past. Even the future it projects comes out of the past in its need for re-creating more of itself. The scientists fail to grasp this while making their assumptions from the mind that time is linear. Universal Life cannot be linear. But human mind by its pseudo-nature denies itself this understanding.
 
Human mind is not cosmic. It is a depository of past failing to see that time is a circular projection perpetually arising in the immeasurable now. In the slow movement of mind, time is seen as yesterday, today and tomorrow, last year, last decade, century, millennium. Looking out towards space it is seen as the spiraling stars. Mind functions from within its sub-creation, from here arising all our assumptions, beliefs and hopes for a better tomorrow. Mind imagines some life hereafter driving us deeper into the projection of time, even to the point of solidifying prehistoric rock and then discovering what mind imagines are the artifacts of a previous time.

Mind fails to see the body is a spacesuit constituted from the same ingredients as the cosmic orb it inhabits. This orb is the planet earth, the accumulative energy of all life organisms, appearing to mind as past, present and future vibrating in cosmic wholeness. We lose insight when we become attached to our spacesuits through the mind sub-creating psychological time. Knowing the body (our spacesuits) must inevitably decay, we project the notion of a soul that will somehow evade the inevitable, this being the mass hypnosis of the world.

Are we ready to listen? Perhaps, not. Looking out into time, it was not that long past when the mind thought the earth was flat. Then one man got the idea, but the hypnotic masses strongly rejected, more time always needed by the creators of time.

Everything is perceived and understood according to our lights. This is naturally In accord with universal law. The mind, projecting space and time, determines nothing can happen before its time. This knowledge is nothing new. It is already within everyone and everything taking life form on this planet. You and I are the one universal pulse, the great vastness beyond all limits.

All is open to the stilled human mind attentively listening.

This is an extract from BEING IN THE NOW [page 70] available at Amazon Books

All thought is in the realm of time. Thought has its base in the past. Thought is memory and all memory is past. Intelligence is of a different order. But how is intelligence related to thought? If thought answers, it is not intelligence. We can see thought dominates the world, which is not intelligence. When we impartially look at the governance of the world we can see an assumed worldly intelligence serving highly unintelligent purposes. It is painfully obvious humanity has taken a seriously wrong direction. Is there a better way forward? These are some of the questions being probed at our next gathering on Monday, 30th December, 2013.
