I hope that the information in this blog will help you to understand yourself and the world around you much better. I am giving this information to you free of charge but at least, if you are inspired by anything written here, have the decency to give my name to anything you use. Many thanks.
I've heard it said so many times that we create our own destiny, our own reality and therefore our own life, luck and happiness. I've heard it said that when you give yourself up to the universe that you will find yourself on the right track and that everything will fall into place. I totally disagree with this line of thinking.
We do not create our own pathway.
We create the pathways and destiny of other humans and all other life.
I spoke at length about this at length last Summer at a presentation I gave and I was encouraged to write and speak about it after a birdwatching walk that my husband and I had with our dog, Finn.
We were walking in the Peak District through a beautiful old woodland in search of the birds and other wildlife, our target species being redstart, wood warbler and pied flycatcher. We managed two out of three that day but as it was nearing lunchtime, we decided to walk up and out of the woodland and onto the heath at the top. So up we went. It was a beautiful warm day and we spotted a rocky outcrop that we decided would be a good place to sit and eat our lunch as we would have a great overview of the trees' canopy and the surrounding heathland. However, we knew that there were adder, Britain's only venomous snake, on the heath and because we had Finn with us we were concerned that we keep both him and ourselves safe. He was on leash but nevertheless the whole heathland was covered in heather and bilberry where it would be impossible to see an adder sunbathing and we certainly didn't want either Finn or ourselves to step on one.
We could see the rocks in the distance and because there had been sheep up on the heath, there were very narrow sheep trails through the heather. It was our instant reaction to follow the narrow trails through the heather out towards the rocks. As we walked steadily along thoughts began to trickle into my head. My husband smiled wryly as I related to him what I was thinking. He knows that my philosophy on life is endless and that everything I do has to be dissected and analysed before I can make sense of it. What fascinated me was that other people had created in us the awareness of possible danger from adders and therefore we were instinctively following narrow but clear pathways to our destination. We were following safe pathways due to the forewarning that we had from other people. People had created the fear of the presence of the adders and we were therefore walking what we considered to be safe pathways through to our destination at the rocks. I thought to myself, there could possible be just one or two snakes up on the heath but without even thinking we had walked the assumed safe pathways. And I thought, religion does basically the same thing. As a child I remember playing games with my friends on the paving stones outside my home where we could only step on certain stones or there would be a penalty, the penalty was mostly an imagined crocodile jumping out and biting us. It's a childish memory but one myself and my friends took seriously at the time. Religion creates a constant element of fear. Like following the assumed safe pathways through the heather on the heath that lovely Summer's day and not stepping on certain stones in my childhood games, religion creates the same fears of not doing certain things or acting certain ways. It creates a boundary for us preventing us from really living our lives and being honest with ourselves. Our lives are created by other peoples' assumptions and beliefs and their treatment of us. From small children the people around us create our assumed safe pathways which aren't really ours, they are theirs! They teach us how to live and how not to instead of teaching us simply how to love. If we were taught nothing more than love from our childhood we wouldn't need religion to give us the instruction on how to live and how not to because it would come naturally.
The life we live is not chosen by us before we were born as many people assume. The life we live is chosen by other people. We are formed by the blueprint within our genes which is a composite image of a human being but which blueprint contains all the memories of every other living thing that ever was. The layers of our composite existence are what make us unique and individual, all containing the information of everything that ever was, is and shall be. The life we lead is according to our environment which consists of all of the information everywhere and the stimuli we have of those elements around us, predominantly people. Everything we are which incorporates everything we do is 'remembered' and incorporated into the information field which makes up the whole of our reality. Consciousness is a reflective information field and the whole of our reality is built upon that information. The more information gleaned, the more the system has to change to hold and process it, therefore we get evolution. It isn't actually us that evolves, however. It is the super-entity, the super-brain that evolves and expands its connections to produce more intelligence. We are those connections. We are the neural connections in a super-organism which has previously been called god. When an information system is filled to capacity it has to change or divide. Division is actually also change, change within the same system, the result is continuation and expansion of unity - one system divided into parts of itself - self division - enabling connection between all things to remain. Within self-division there is communication and this communication is memory. Time itself, or rather the perception of it, is memory. The communication of memory depends upon the function of the systems that process it. Consciousness is memory. Every thought we receive is formed from memory. It is not our information. It is a download, a bleeding in of information from the two-way-stretch of the super-brain and its neural connections that makes the whole entity function. What we do in our lives is the result of the memory of other people, the direction and creation of life based upon the memory of others.
So please, step lightly, for you step upon the heart of all life.
