  .JESUS  SAID    : I AM IN THE FATHER AND THE FATHER IS IN ME ....AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IN THE FUTURE THAT I AM IN YOU   AND YOU IN ME     

(BIBLE GOSPELL OF JOHN 14).8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

  9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves 19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”  .          

    When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40  In reply the King will say to them,  ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, ‘YOU DID IT TO ME  

 MATTHEW 25:34  “Then the King will say to those on his right: ‘Come, you who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the founding of the world. 35  For I became hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and you received me hospitably;+ 36  naked* and you clothed me.+ I fell sick and you looked after me. I was in prison and you visited me.’+ 37  Then the righteous ones will answer him with the words: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?+ 38  When did we see you a stranger and receive you hospitably, or naked and clothe you?39  When did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40  In reply the King will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,YOU DID IT TO ME.’+

41  “Then he will say to those on his left: ‘Go away from me,+you who have been cursed, into the everlasting fire+ prepared for the Devil and his angels.+ 42  For I became hungry, but you gave me nothing to eat; and I was thirsty, but you gave me nothing to drink. 43  I was a stranger, but you did not receive me hospitably; naked, but you did not clothe me; sick and in prison, but you did not look after me.’ 44  Then they too will answer with the words: ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister to you?’ 45  Then he will answer them, saying: ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of these least ones, you did not do it to me.’    

Proverbs 19:17

17  The one showing favor to the lowly is lending to Jehovah,( or to Lord ,to God the father...Jehovah is the name of God the creator Jesus Father's in Bible)

And He will repay him for what he does.

COMPARE WITH THE NEXT 

GOD SAYS IN  Isaiah 58:

No, this is the fast that I choose:

To remove the fetters of wickedness,To untie the bands of the yoke bar,+To let the oppressed go free,+And to break in half every yoke bar; 7  It is to share your bread with the hungry,+To bring the poor and homeless into your house,To clothe someone naked when you see him,+And not to turn your back on your own flesh. 8  Then your light will shine through like the dawn,And your healing will spring up quickly.Your righteousness will go before you,And the glory of Jehovah will be your rear guard.+ 9  Then you will call, and Jehovah will answer;You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am!’If you remove from among you the yoke barAnd stop pointing your finger and speaking maliciously,+10  If you grant to the hungry what you yourself desire*+And satisfy those who are afflicted,*Then your light will shine even in the darkness,And your gloom will be like midday.+11  Jehovah will always lead youAnd satisfy you* even in a parched land;+He will invigorate your bones,And you will become like a well-watered garden,+

Like a spring whose waters never fail.

The Egg

By: Andy Weir  IN THIS   EGG STORY THE AUTHOR SAYS IN A DIALOG BETWEEN GOD AND A HUMAN BEING :

“Just me? What about everyone else?”

“There is no one else,” I said. “In this universe, there’s just you and me.”

You stared blankly at me. “But all the people on earth…”

“All you. Different incarnations of you.”

“Wait. I’m everyone!?”

“Now you’re getting it,” I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back.

“I’m every human being who ever lived?”

“Or who will ever live, yes.”

“I’m Abraham Lincoln?”

“And you’re John Wilkes Booth, too,” I added.

“I’m Hitler?” You said, appalled.

“And you’re the millions he killed.”

“I’m Jesus?”

“And you’re everyone who followed him.”

You fell silent.

“Every time you victimized someone,” I said, “you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you’ve done, you’ve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you.”

I HAVE TO NOTICE THAT I DON'T BELIEVE MANY OTHER THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THIS STORY OF EGG BUT I ALWAYS KNEW AFTER MY PERSONAL AWAKENING EXPERIENCE WHEN I WAS 18  THAT  ALL PEOPLE EVER BEEN  IN EARTH WERE JUST OTHER SCENARIOS OF ME OR OF GOD OR OF YOU ...

 Cells That Read Minds By SANDRA BLAKESLEE (NEW YORK TIMES)

"The human brain has multiple mirror neuron systems that specialize in carrying out and understanding not just the actions of others but their intentions, the social meaning of their behavior and their emotions. "We are exquisitely social creatures," Dr. Rizzolatti said. "Our survival depends on understanding the actions, intentions and emotions of others." He continued, "Mirror neurons allow us to grasp the minds of others not through conceptual reasoning but through direct simulation. By feeling, not by thinking." The discovery is shaking up numerous scientific disciplines, shifting the understanding of culture, empathy, philosophy, language, imitation, autism and psychotherapy.

Open individualism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Open individualism is the view in the philosophy of personal identity, according to which there exists only one numerically identical subject, which is everyone at all times.^[1] It is a theoretical solution for the question of personal identity, being contrasted with empty individualism, the view that personal identities correspond to a fixed pattern that instantaneously disappears with the passage of time, and with closed individualism, the common view that personal identities are particular to subjects and yet survive time.

The term was coined by philosopher Daniel Kolak, though this view has been described at least since the time of the Upanishads, in the late Bronze Age. Its sentence "Tat tvam asi," meaning "You are that," is an example. Notable people having expressed similar views (in various forms) include the Sufi thinker Aziz al-Nasafi, Averroes, German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, Indian mystic Meher Baba, Alan Watts, as well as renowned physicists Erwin Schrödinger,^[2] Freeman Dyson, and Fred Hoyle.

Say I Am You : Poetry Interspersed With Stories of Rumi and Shams   

" 

I am all orders of being, the circling galaxy,
......................

What is, and what isn't.

You who know, Jelaluddin,
You the one in all, say who I am.
Say I am you.
........................................................
Your embrace some form
saying, "I am this."
By God, you are not this
or that or the other
you are "Unique One"
"Heart-ravishing"

I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love.

And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun
See how they fly....

                            "I Am You" Lyrics

Kim Taylor

La di da di da da

La di da di da da

La di da di da da

La da da

I am tied by truth like an anchor

Anchored to a bottomless sea

I am floating freely in the heavens

Held in by your heart's gravity

All because of love

All because of love

Even though sometimes you don't know who I am

I am you, everything you do
Anything you say, you want me to be
You're me with your arms on a chain
Linked eternally in what we can't undo
And I am you

La di da di da da

La di da di da da

La di da di da da

La da da

All my senses awaken to the changes
And I feel alive inside my own skin
All my reasons tell just how strange it is
Coming home to a place I've always been

And it's all for love

And it's all for love

Even though sometimes, I don't know who I am

I am you, everything you do

Anything you say, you want me to be

You're me with your arms on a chain

Linked eternally in what we can't undo
I'm you

I am you

We are one by Kelly Sweet

Didn't need to ask
Don't know the reason
Everything that I believe
Is right here

Not thinkin' bout tomorrow
Couldn't catch it if I tried
World is spinning too fast
So I'll wait 'til it comes to me

I am you
You are me
We are one

Take me in your arms

And flow through me

I'll flow through you

Steal my breath away
'Cause I'm so moved by you
Deeper than I ever thought
Was possible, was possible, it's everything, oh

Difference between me and you
It's all in where your heart lies

And every day's another chance

So let's get it right

I am you
You are me
We are one
Take me in your arms
And flow through me
I'll flow through you

Did you lose yourself out there
Did you lose faith and give up
Don't turn away and hide yourself

'Cause there's a friend to make along the way
We are the heartbeat and our souls speak
And all the beauty I have ever dreamed
Is right here in front of me, oh

Is right here in front of me, oh

I am you
And you are me
We are one
Take me in your arms
And flow through me
I'll flow through you

self-consciousness addictions mental disorder and spiritual experience

   




     When i was 14 years old i had 4 questions: 1:who AM I ?   2:why i can not feel that God or a high power exists 3: what is LOVE?  why i have to love others ? 4: is there free will? why i do things that i would like to avoid?.. Here in this following text i share few things that i have learned as i was seeking for answers.Please be patient with my english syntax  because i m not a native fluent English speaker and this text is simplifying the meanings of some neurobiological  functions as my purpose is that we all understand  factors that effect to our addictive attitudes.
                                                                                                      PRIMITIVE ANIMAL BRAIN + UNCERTAINNESS+DISFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES+INJURING ENVIRONMENT+NO EMOTIONAL TRAINING+TOXIC SHAME+NO FAITH => NO VISION => FEAR => NUMB   CONSCIOUSNESS => ANAESTETISED CONSCIENCE =>NO AWE NO EMPATHY => NO LOVE => ALIENATION =>COMPETITION  => PERFECTIONISM  =>AGONIES =>ADDICTIONS  =>VICIOUS CIRCLE  
                                                                                  We all have an animal brain and a thinking brain.Our animal brain wants pleasure here and now and to avoid pain here and now ... This animal brain is maladaptive to lifes uncertainty and complexity.  It only contains some automatic patterns of reactions, in order to motivate us when we need to make a fast decision without having the advantage of time to see what is the most wise thing to do. Another important issue with this animal brain is that it contains some defense tactics useful in a jungle environment (because you have a better chance to survive when you are not indecisive) but maladaptive for a  civilized world with higher spiritual prospects and challenges.   This has to do with a NUMBING EFFECT to our consciousness when we are under the influence of danger ,fear, high Stress,agony  or anxiety . When an animal is captured by an other as victim ,brain opioids are numbing its  consciousness so it cannot feel the tragedy that is taken place to its existence. The primitive animal brain is responsible for this . We could see this instinctive function as an neurobiological expression of a divine providence.            But if we transfer this  function to our human life we  get  problems.Since life is complex  we have to react with wise and adaptive behavours.In a jungle we have two options run or fight but in our life here we have many options and challenges. We have people we need  and we can not communicate efficiently and have conflicts. So we need a variety of alternate  adaptive behavior skills different than fight or run to deal with them .Our thinking brain can take care of this.  The problem is that our animal brain is more fast and blocks our thinking brain with numbing endorphins and brain opioids.For example we have prepared our public speech and as far we are going to pronounse it fear deletes everything from our memory and we look the audience embarrassedly.In same way daily anxieties  refill  this numbness depriving us of the only tool we could use to manage our life in a wise way. And i mean our thinking brain.   Thins getting worse of the somatization of anxiety.When we feel anxiety and fear we squeeze our muscles .Finally many of our chest ,stomach, neck ,head muscles are tight and numb blocking the flow of the power of life-chi- .Emotions are projected over the muscles and if muscles are numb you are deprived from the template or screen to experience them .This can be illustrated with a video projector and the screen .If you wrinkle the cloth screen (muscles) the projection will be lost in the void behind.    - so you see no film -. The somatization of anxiety is constant and very difficult to overcome  factor and results in losing our self-consciousness. When i use the term self-consciousness  i mean  a deep  feeling of our self as a separate unique being that is alive in here and now , a sense that we are the sovereign consolidated core who has the control of our forces and observes in clarity and deep focus the creation with AWE and appreciation. This is impossible to happen in a  anesthetized blocked body,and most of us we did not have the chance to feel how life would be in a healthy relaxed conscious body. In fact subconscious is "part" of what we usualy call in religious concepts " heart ". This heart can contains consciousness and behavour patterns of our primitive brain or other maladaptive or adaptive patterns aswell that we got  through our experiences . We can cultivate this part of our self .Usualy we focus to a small part of the reality and this is practical .Our subconscious releases us from hundred details that undertakes  leaving our conscious to   focus to more important or newer things.So it is important for us to cultivate  a wise subconscious self  a wise "heart".
           Compare please with this statement that Christ made before 2000 years    "“But pay attention to yourselves that YOUR hearts never become WEIGHT  DOWN  with overeating and heavy drinking and ANXIETIES  of life" (LUKE 21:34)  With a weight down numb anesthetized heart and a disabled thinking brain we have everything we need to make our life unbearable.That equals to more PAIN.(Add please and the guilties and self rejection  as and the results of our irresponsibility to take care of our life ,lost relations, loneliness ,resentments and what else you can remember . The amount of pain we have to repulse is getting really tremendous. )..So we are trapped in a vicious circle of compulsive obsession to escape of emotional pain  .  We have two options now  1) escape of the increased pain  with new anesthetizing or doping tactics= addictions and following the primitive animal brain & 2) activating our thinking brain and take the control by finding adaptive solutions step by step, while we learn to bear the resentment of the things that cannot  change as fast as we would like. . When our primitive emotional defenses  are not enough to handle the increased pain we usually choose to experiment with new alchemies and detour the proper but more painful process.  (loll) .Here is taken place a birth of GREED . We seek for pleasures with greed, and we push our self to the edge in order to escape  in transmuted state of consciousness by using  alcohol ,drugs, overeating or by immigrating in artificial  virtual worlds (games) and enjoying fake successes overcoming the risk and the uncertainness of a frustrating real world .  -From my experiance we need also power given from God to get out of this vicious circle , but i will not make more comments curently on this even if it is  MORE IMPORTANT for our spiritual development      .-   I have  to notice that as  we grow up the animal brain gets an inventory of  maladaptive patterns,shapes of reaction that guide automatically our behavior  . These patterns are often named in psychology traps of life.This traps are activated from several triggers when he are not present in guard and spiritually alert. Inflexible standards, perfectionism ,fear of failure,catastrophology and pessimism ,dependance to others or isolation are few of them..             I am Greek ..... a Greek famous rock  song says in the refrain  " I do not exist and here i am" .  This is the drama of loosing our valuable SELF  . Lots of us we grow up in life having   deminished self-consciousness . This is a result of increased emotional numbness and an almost paralyzed lazy  thinking brain.A reality test we can make to see if we have awaken full present self-consciousness is the test of AWE . Do we feel AWE  as we realize that we are alive here and now at this moment  in a vast universe? How often we feel AWE?This AWE is an enormous feeling of deep appreciation and admiration as our  full  existence united observes in a deep concentrated clarity the creation .This is called the i-am-ness or the great I AM .It is no strange why God is calling him self -o ΩΝ- the ONE who was IS and coming - who exists- ,.Actually a great I AM feeling is emerging  when we are in that healthy awake clarity.But if we do not understand  this ,then we have to realize that we have a mental spiritual and emotional defection,a mental disorder.Mental disorder is the degree we are driven  inwards , away from reality, away from love, lost inside ourselves, the degree we live in our fantastic inner world overwhelmed by our personal self-delusions ,the degree we are absent of reality zoned out ,the degree we do not EXIST  & -ARE NOT conscious-.
        .Most of us in a more or less degree that varies from time to time we experience a NUMB , anesthetized , zoned out or depersonalized quality of self existence .Yes especialy addicts probably never had the opportunity to experience this amazing feeling of the healthy consciousness and awareness.    Here we must be careful this is NOT a matter of how clever we are.  It is emotional intelligence.... or better true spirituality                                                                              As i noticed when i was 14 years old i had 4 questions ! 1:who AM I ? (i had already lost my self in numbness in order not to suffer)  2:why i can not feel that god or a high power exists?(actually how could i feel if there is god while i could  not feel & have awareness of either MY self?) 3: what is LOVE? why i have to love others ? why i do not feel love and i have to pretend that i am polite and friendly  to them? why this can not  happen  by a natural physical way instead of pretending? (I often listen that is almost impossible for us to give an accurate definition of LOVE..... i would say that if a blind from his birth man can understand what is color then and a frozen heart can give a definition for what is love without spiritual experience..awakening ).love is understood only experientially ......The one who had the opportunity of experiencing  the pure ,awaken ,healthy existence  can say in awe ... I AM YOU..YOU ARE ME ..we are the same person  in DIFFERENTIATED SEPARATE  REPETITION .... we were both by mistake calling, feeling, and behaving to our differentiated  repetition as OTHER ,  even if it was only OUR SELF..This emerging awareness   would make this person mourn with every single cell of his  body  for the DIVISION ,ALIENATION and loneliness of those he was thinking as OTHERS but were always his self.....would cry for him self in all his separate forms ..and pray for his enemies !!!............(yes how i could feel others and that others were me and LOVE them as my self while i could not even feel in awe  even my self? we have to BE in order to feel and then love)     4) Free will?        ...someone driven by a primitive brain and a disabled thinking brain? someone who has never been taught  how to cultivate the power of will ? someone who does not know that he has to EXERCISE THE MUSCLES OF WILL= (free will) ,step by step ,through even surrendering him self to PAIN for sort term if it is more proper or postpone and even deny   inappropriate pleasures in order to set him self truly free?...someone without strong solid FAITH and HOPE to a fair VISION or  a BASIC TRUST that GOD finally rewards every commitment we undertake  to do what is truly GOOD and avoid what is truly  BAD.........?.In next post i will say more about this issue .YES THERE IS FREE WILL BUT IT IS OPTIONAL WHETHER  WE CHOOSE TO UTILISE AND CULTIVATE IT..........
