How Others Got Through

This was a post from the other forum that has some very useful and reinforcing information. It was in response to a couple of questions, but the answer to one of those questions is elsewhere on this site, and the second question was more or less "how did others, in the past, get through the Membrane?"

I think others got through it similarly to the way I did. In my case, years ago I thought "Nothing exists beyond the eyes." I toyed with the idea of there being two meanings to that, one active and one passive, one objective and one subjective. Then, in a Barnes & Noble, it came back to me, an experience started to come over me. I ran out of the place, got home, and let it come on. Stumbled, got sick, cried, screamed "impossible!" for a while, and then collapsed, not believing that Truth could be true, but it was absolutely undeniable. After that, the statement became, "Nothing exists beyond the nonexistent eyes." And here we find ourselves in the ultimately irreconcilable infinite mobius loop: "That I'm in love proves that I exist, but knowing that I don't exist how could I be in love?" You can believe me when I tell you that all but a few thousand people on Earth both want AND are capable of piercing the Membrane. All but a few thousand don't want to know THAT. If you knew what you were in for, you'd fear it, and the fact is, you do, by design.

I think almost invariably that what led everybody through it was a constantly increasing distrust of the senses coupled with a continued niggling in the back of the mind that any physical explanation whatsoever in any age had irreconcilable problems, including the latest and greatest, quantum physics. Of all popular physical explanations given and according to the mental environment (the age) in which they were given, quantum physics comes closest to Truth. But that it isn't there at all is the only thing that plugs the holes and reconciles the problems. Has anybody ever wondered why "whole" and "hole" are such closely related terms? Anyway, one of few practical explanations offered in ancient times came in the form of Zeno's paradoxes. There's a book out about that. Tough to grasp some of it, but it's basically saying, in something like 500 bce, that all motion, and therefore space itself, is inherently paradoxical when viewed as something that actually exists and gives excellent explanations as to why that is. The most famous of these is this: if you have point A and point B, and you slash the distance between the two points in half, and do this as many times as you want, you'll ALWAYS have space left to slash in half and therefore never bring the two points together. Therefore space itself is essentially a sham, and it is. If space is a sham, then so is everything that is supposedly in it.

What Jesus was essentially saying, in a few hundred different ways, is this: "If you knew Truth you'd stop doing everything you're doing and saying everything you're saying and start living from that place instead of remaining dead where you are. The way to know Truth is to stop believing the lie. What is the lie? Everything that is perceivable on any level of being whatsoever [just another way of saying dimension], and even perception itself. But since it isn't your time to know Truth, or you'd be experiencing it right this second, why not go ahead and stop believing the lie today and be led inexorably to Truth without all the fuss?"

Some might think, "Well, if I were to do that, it might mean that I go broke, can't pay the bills, become a laughing stock," to which Jesus would say, "you'd be better off forsaking the 'trappings' of this 'world' and starving in the gutter with your dying children in your arms than to continue believing the lie." And the reason that is true is that the person making that choice knows enough, right then, that such forsaking is at the very least going to open the door for them in either this or a subsequent "embodiment." It's therefore easy to recognize that to make the choice of Truth COULD require courage.

Some might think, "Well, what about my children, my responsibilities?" to which Jesus would say, "they are not real, or alive, believe me on this one. There is only One Thing that is real, that lives, and that is what I'm showing you."

I did read the Bible and therefore gleaned a few of the things he said, but I'm not a bigtime Jesus afficianado by the accepted canon (in other words, I'm very familiar with all the esoteric Jesus stuff but little of the Christian stuff), yet I have an extremely innate understanding of him and everything he had to say. Why is that? Because we both went through the Membrane and experienced the same thing.

Now, after having said all that, he would go on to say, "you're the participation of pixels in a video game, so play it, play the role of having responsibilities, bills to pay, being in love, etc., if you want to, but don't let yourself be attached to them as though they have any importance, because they don't. The man dying in Bahgdad has pretended to die countless times, and he will countless more times until he learns that this life, and therefore death, is not real. And if you accept this as true, then you know that any attachment to anything or anybody is precisely what maintains your perceptual participation within this impossibly vast dream, in which there is participation, yes, but no actual participants."

But wait! All of this might suggest that randomness is possible. Let's break that down. Either The Whole Thing is ruled by randomness or absolutely nothing is random. You can't have partial randomness. Jesus would say, "Trust me on this one. Randomness is NOT. That being true, then the moment at which you shall know Truth is already set and absolutely nothing can change it. So, take my advice, just let everything go so that suffering itself fades right along with your fading delusions that anything is real. As this fading gradually occurs, the closer you're drawn to Truth, right on schedule. So, what is there to worry about? Nothing is real (two meanings) and you're right on schedule, and it's impossible for it to be otherwise. Your moment is at hand or you wouldn't be exposed to me or be hearing my words. Trust that."

If you cease perceiving, the universe ceases to exist. To that any reasonable person would reasonably say, "But only for me, right?" And the answer is that, No, it would cease to exist, period. Can you use that to see how you identify with yourself as an individual entity? There is either perception, or there is not, period. And the fact is that not even perception exists. Perception is the act of participation in the CONCEPT of perception, but is there actual perception? No. Why? Because there are no individuals to do the perceiving. There is participation but no individual participants. There are cooperative caricatures, and that includes EVERYTHING, tables, leaves, aliens, tires and dice.

Now, if this is sinking in to some extent, then you can easily relate to why "people" are so loathe to see Truth. They don't want to see it because they want to hang on to who they believe themselves to be and all the things that that who has: friends, family, possessions and beliefs, and each of the former three are themselves also just beliefs and nothing more.

See, the New Agers are going to be among the most difficult to get through to because they've become so entrenched in their own bullshit. They talk to nonexistent angels for nonexistent people and charge nonexistent money for it. They twirl nonexistent crystals over nonexistent chakras and heal fictitious problems. See the problem?

So, ask yourselves right now. Do you want to know Truth? If you do, perfect. If you don't, perfect. Whatever your decision might be, it won't change a thing.

There is another, simpler, way of generating the velocity to pierce the Membrane: total acceptance of everything just as it is; know that everything, everything without fail in this so-called world, just as it is, is perfect. If you think it's imperfect, then you think it's real. If you know it's perfect, then you know it's not real. That is a thinking habit that can be cultivated at all times.

And there is yet an even simpler and more direct way: get and use the alchemy I make, and read what I'm saying, letting the alchemy deepen your understanding of why I'm saying.

And as said elsewhere, can't recall just this second, there is another thing that makes it real: fear.
