The 24/7 Media Game… In Your Mind

by Andi on December 5, 2008 · 7 comments

A previous post on this blog, “The Mayan Calendar is a Musical Instrument - Let’s Dance!” drew some great comments and… inspired this post. So let’s talk about the world of *media* — especially the world within, where everything in your life is really going on.

Where does religion, race, politics, education, labels, titles and all the rest of it originate?

In the human mind. And what’s more is…

…these ideals wouldn’t exist if they weren’t formed or fashioned in the mind’s of wo/men and then spoken out loud, acted upon so often it becomes a routine and then made into an institution of some kind.

Religion, race, politics, educational status, labels, titles and all the rest of it are not “things”. These aren’t things that overcome us or take us over or have dominion over us. Not until you say they’re allowed to AND allowance is given 99.99% of the time …innocently.

Ideas come along. We form attachments to ideas and believe them. All action and attitude follows from there. And again… this usually happens without consciously realizing it happened at all. In another post I’ll talk more about why this happens. For now, let’s just look at what results from attaching to a thought.

This is a good starting point for understanding to grow out of the soil of our conversation together.

soultouch wrote: “Even though we are all participating in this evolution of Human Consciousness, whether we want to or not, not everyone agrees to their part in this beautiful composition, so to speak.”

The first questions that pop up are:

  • Is that true?
  • How would you know?
  • Can you be absolutely sure that’s true?
  • If the answer is “Yes it’s true”, then according to who?

Can you be absolutely sure not everyone agrees to their part in this beautiful composition?

What if every single note played - front to back - is exactly what’s needed for this composition? How would you know it isn’t?

The answers to all the questions above are NOT meant to be a test. Not at all. The idea here is to ask the questions and forget what the “right” answer is. Just ask and answer honestly. This is critical to one’s inner evolution.

soultouch said: “…not everyone agrees to their part in this beautiful composition, so to speak. Therein the “sour notes” appear.”

To who’s ear are the notes sour?

Have you ever liked a particular kind of music and someone else - perhaps even your best friend - finds it distasteful? Of course that’s happened to all of us. We all have our *likes* and *dislikes*. We are quite unique in that way.

So, we say that a person or group of person’s are playing a “sour note” and it doesn’t belong in this beautiful composition.

What has just happened?

A thought was believed… without questioning it.

“I” determine what music is “good” and what music is “bad” and what shouldn’t be there… according to *me*. And thousands …even millions of people …might agree with *me”.

BUT…

…apparently this is not the way it is according to creation who’s composition this actually is.

The composition the Mayan calendar is tracking, is creation’s plan. It’s not Andi’s plan. Or Jag’s plan. Or Sandy’s plan. Or David’s plan…. It’s the plan (the music) of “creation”.

So, you or I may say there are some “sour notes”… according to our ideas of what’s sour and what’s not. The fact is, those notes are there. That is reality.

If we say that note shouldn’t be there now, we’re getting down to why questioning what the mind thinks (and then believes without even knowing it’s doing it) is so valuable - BUT only if you’re interested in having peace of mind. If peace of mind and the end of stress isn’t a high priority, it doesn’t matter. :)

So… you have the thought “that note shouldn’t be there”.

But guess what? It IS there.

The moment you think you know what should/shouldn’t be - or that you know better what ought to be happening as opposed to what is - you have no choice but to go to war with reality.

And you lose…

…but only 100% of the time.

How do you like those odds?

soultouch quote: “However if we recognize our brothers’ pain in their attempts to cling, then we let them play their notes until they see that they’re the only ones not in tune. Or we assist as best we can without imposing our judgment and expectations on them, or, both.”

First… “I let other people play the notes they play” …is that true?

Do you let people do what they do? Or do people simply do what they do? In my experience it is the latter. I don’t *let* anyone do anything. The moment it became clear I wasn’t in charge of what other people did or what they should do, life instantaneously became peaceful.

soultouch quote: “…without imposing our judgment and expectations on them…”

Too late. Judgment already happened when the thought that some people are playing “sour notes” was believed.

And here’s the point… WE JUDGE.

That is what we do.

Judging happens so fast you don’t even see it. It slips right past you…and the whole while you’re thinking “I’m not judging…”

That’s how subtle and real and fast and unseen the inner human source code operates.

So what can one do? Question stressful thoughts.

It’s certainly stressful to think there are people who aren’t in tune and their notes are mucking things up! That hurts… so question it.

George wrote: “I think this problem in our society is not that we perceive in this way but what causes us to perceive in this way. The media…”

The *media* that plays 24/7 is in your mind. CNN, Fox, MSNBC and every news outlet in the world all rolled into one cannot hold a candle to it.

Thoughts come through rapid-fire 24/7 and are utterly pregnant with suggestions for you to believe in. Every kind of suggestion you can imagine… and more.

The mind of man is where evolution is happening right now.

If you want to evolve… work with your mind. There is no other way to freedom.

I LOVE that you’re posting/commenting and investigating here. I love that you’re willing to write and inspire.

If I find a place where I struggle… it’s a happy day… because I get to do work that sets me free. It’s that simple and that exciting.

Investigating With You! - Andi

eva: I love you too *smiles*… there’s no question about it, right here, right now. While it’s easy to say things like these are *my thoughts* and you have  *your thoughts* - it turns out that all thoughts are shared. Ha ha! The good news is, there are no new nightmares. Got to love the way we’re put together… :)

Incredible………………….Andi, you did it again.  I am thankful.  I just received a reading which told me that I am required to re-think my relationship with the people close to me.  Old rules don’t apply anymore.  I am watching my family ram expectation and judgement down each other’s throats and I was pushing as hard as I could to make them see what they were doing and not realizing that I was not only part and party to spinning this wheel of judgment and condemnation but it is (was) my own judgement, condemnation and expectations pointing right back at me.  So, yes…..we are right on track.  

I am grateful and thankful for all that I have and all that is yet to come.  I am aware that all comes from creation, including me.  In this way I can use my free will and make the choice not to judge anyone or anything.   Then I become a co-creator with source energy in my everyday life.  Being receptive and open to my body, mind and spirit which is already part of the collective consciousness.  This will allow me to be a peaceful example and not a talkative “preacher”.

Is it possible that these ideals do not originate in this lump of matter we call the human mind?
 
Back to the piano……yes the sour notes are there they need to be they are necessary and if it were not for their vibrations tuning would be impossible this was my original point “relative harmony”. However they should not be confused with “true notes” which is harmony or stillness between notes of the same key. The good thing about “true” is that it can’t be changed.
 
It’s amazing to think that one fine day a person had a thought that might have went like this……..I will build a wooden box stretch some strings across it and hit them with a hammer. The next day another thought entered his head to improve his design and then another and another and then other people became interested and attached their thoughts and on it went until the thought became a piano. When it could not be tuned properly more and more thoughts entered the arena to try to solve this problem and eventually a compromise was reached between all the different vibrations ….
Hey Presto……..the piano with all its sour notes true notes and harmony….accepted universally.

“Notes” from the media…
 The Government will be taking action to help homeowners.

Your understanding of this staement might be wrong. The homeowners are not the residents of the houses. The homeowners are the banks.

Hi Andi,
Very interesting discussion……Mind’s job is to try and keep us safe and it does that very effectively by fear, doubt and jugement! How about soul being in control by learning practices that will still the mind and letting something else be in control? Meditation is one way, Yoga is another, visualisation etc…that brings you into the moment and lets you live and act from your inner truth. How would it feel to be without the bombardement of useless “Media” information stimulating our mind constantly? Right!….who’s in charge and who’s got a choice? Why were we given free will? How are we choosing every day……freedom or enslavement?…it is literally OUR CHOIUCE! Learning how to live in the moment instead “by the clock” is what will replace I believe timemanagement for humanity! Talk about time accelerating….it is a feeling perceived by everyone!
It is great to communicate via the internet and enjoy the freedom of expression for now….how about if that will no longer be?

I have come across a brilliant article written by an astrologer and it rings so very true…check it out:

soultouch: I just have to say it doesn’t get any more exciting than what you discovered and shared in your post here. I couldn’t be happier for you than if I were you… oh wait! *smiles*…

A note on the attempt to not judge… you may notice that it’s what you do. It’s what we all do. The way to be really thankful that it’s what we do is to see that in every judgment, we’re given another chance to find out  one more way to be free.

You judge?

Sure.

Notice that judgment and then use it to your benefit.  Write it down, question it, then turn it around and set yourself free…

You’re a treasure soultouch - And by the way, I enjoyed visiting your  MySpace page today.  As a sidenote to everyone: You can visit the web site (if there is one) for those who comment here by clicking on their name.

Thank you soultouch for sharing your adventure and showing us how it’s done. *:)
