Roger's BLOG
The personal and impersonal "I"
The sense of 'I am Roger' which permeates the daily experience is there not because of the existence of a personal 'I' belonging to Roger but rather much more because of an impersonal 'I' of Source which identifies to a particular vehicle, ie, the body known as Roger and then manifests as the sense 'I am Roger'.
It is this phenomenon which explains why we've all experienced dreams whereby the main character was different to the character we ordinarily know ourself as (Roger in this case) and yet there is a direct undeniable Knowing that "you" were that character.
This happens because the 'I-ness' which we are so familiar with in the waking state is not so much the I-ness of Roger but rather the impersonal I-ness of Source which illuminates all individuals. And hence that I-ness which we are so intimately familiar with is the same I-ness which illuminates the character in the night dream (even when the character is different to that which we ordinaly know ourselves as) and that's why the dream experience feels intimately familiar to us and we say "it's strange but somehow I knew that I was that person (which is not Roger) in the dream".
News and advertising
Remove one of the major power sources that feeds and sustains our false self image by simply unplugging from news and advertising.
Can you manage that? or is the hypnosis too great?
Unconditional love
Could it be that unconditional love is more akin to an unwavering attitude of inclusivity that results when everything that exists is known to have its place and is not resisted, judged or hated, this as opposed to a gushing feeling of affection and attraction to the other regardless of who they are or what they do.
Starting at the outer layers
The teaching comes alive & goes to work, like a sniper picking off misunderstanding.
Do your best...
...with no attachment to outcomes.
To the extent that you find; you are able to set an objective, work in a focussed manner, maybe even be passionate, and yet not be attached to the outcome, then consider that wisdom.
Watch the peace that comes from this attitude to life.
You are an experience.
The entire history of time and space has only ever existed as an experience in the present. Any belief otherwise or in favour, is just an object in the present moment experience of life.
The experience of "you" and "I" are intrinsically aspects of the present moment experience and not separate from it.
Generally speaking, life is an experience including the impression that life (an experience) is an objective reality of time and space viewed from a particular perspective by a particular body.
Be present with the current experience.
Peace for now.
Self image & freedom
A self image which is so far removed from what we really are has been set in place, and that's why feelings which are so far removed from what are true, arise.
Life put it in place, and at some point life starts to remove it - this is the process of freedom from the false idea of what we are, and a natural revelation of what we've always been.
It will make us cry and laugh uncontrollably at the joke of it all - finally revealing a peace and love that pervades it all.
Who's selfish?
Have you considered the humorous irony in the fact that in moments when we judge another as being selfish, it's generally because they haven't delivered what we want :) ?
The formless and still
The more connected we are to the aspect of ourself which is formless and still, the less psychologically concerned or involved we are with 'how' life will turn out.
Just Stop, and BE
Pain happens
Pain in the moment. These things happen!
