Fulfillment of Oneness

Fulfillment of Oneness

Dear readers, welcome to our message in these times of struggle for so many. Know that by holding the Light of truth at all times in spite of outer appearances, you are helping to dissolve the energies that support and maintain them.
Universal beliefs based in duality, separation, and two powers have tainted everything on earth resulting in the third dimensional world you are familiar with. A world where animals are dangerous, bugs are poisonous, people kill, cheat, and malign one another, and where individuals are judged by the color of their skin. The belief that self preservation is a right and a law has resulted in crime, suffering, and every war. This is the world that most have come to know and accept as reality but is not the world of God's creating, rather is the world of man's creating--illusion.
Every person unconsciously seeks the fulfillment of their Oneness but because most remain unaware of their true nature, they seek it in the outer world where when found, is never permanent. (duality) Earth and all life on her have long lived under a dense shadow of ignorance but have reached a place of spiritual readiness for more. The time has come for mankind to wake up to the fact that yes indeed there is a God, but not one far away needing to be found but rather one needing to be recognized as the essence of every living thing.
For too long mankind has been praying (preying) to a concept made in man's image that lives in the sky with a list of who is naughty or nice in order to punish, condemn, or reward them according to rules created by human, conditioned minds that hold or have held in the past positions of religious or governmental authority. Know this--the only hell that exists is the one of man's making.
The whole evolutionary journey-- every good, bad, or horrible experience, every thought, every belief or action taken throughout hundreds of lifetimes lived as male/female with black, white, brown, or yellow skin has been for the purpose of bringing every individual to a place of readiness for consciously knowing that their real identity Divine Consciousness.
At some point every person must accept and begin to live from the truth that their real identity (not the ego sense of self) is an expression of the one and only "thing" there is--Divine Consciousness. Because this "thing" is infinite, omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient it can only express and manifest ITself. Nothing else exists from which anything could be made. Every person's true identity as Divine Consciousness individualized makes them a creator, consciously or unconsciously creating from the contents of their state of consciousness.
Divine consciousness is and will continue to express ITself as infinite form and variety. Animals and all life expressions both seen and unseen are not meant to behave like or be compared in value to humans because they are already perfect expressions of a Divine idea in the Mind of God with their own spiritual identity. Ideas of dangerous or poisonous, good or bad creations do not and have never existed in Divine Mind. In the world of God's creating the Lion lies down with the lamb and humans, animals, plants, trees, bugs, all live in alignment as the ONE in expression.
As a person practices and lives the truth about him/her self and everyone else, over time (and it often takes years) they gradually move beyond the three dimensional barriers that have held them in bondage and evolve through grace and the Higher Self's determination of their readiness into a state of Christ Consciousness. Christ means Light/enlightenment, and is not a person but a title. You are all Christs, but have not yet attained the consciousness of it. The process cannot be hurried or forced through rites and rituals, it is a divinely guided journey.
An intellectual knowledge of spiritual truth will not automatically manifest outwardly because knowledge is not consciousness. This has caused some to lose interest in their spiritual journey because they expect their knowledge of spiritual truth to manifest and when it doesn't they assume it was all a lie. Consciousness is the substance of form and the intellectual knowledge of spiritual truth is just the first step toward attaining the consciousness of it.

When you begin anything you first think about the steps involved ( knowledge) and then over time and with practice it becomes a permanent and automatic facet of your consciousness. Evolution works the same way. The spiritual journey is often difficult in the beginning because so much of what is known and familiar must be let go of in order to make room for that which is new and higher. In order for this to happen experiences of discord or failure are often necessary but these experiences should never be seen as failures or going backwards but rather as graduations that lead to new levels of awareness.
Because it is the reality, every soul will eventually attain the consciousness of their Oneness with God and all life and forever leave behind concepts of duality, separation and two powers along with seeking and begging from a God outside of self. It is at this point that every soul moves from sitting at the feet of a spiritual master to sitting beside the master which is not ego but reality.
"I" is the name of God and refers to your real Self and not the personal ego self. Be very careful how you use this word because when you say to yourself and others; "I am sick. I am poor. I always fail. I am a victim." etc. etc. you as a creator are further creating and empowering that particular belief. Consciousness is the substance of form interpreted through mind, as...

The time has come to understand and accept the tremendous power you hold within and come out from under the umbrella of believing that you are just a human being forever subject to man made beliefs and rules about everything.
Claim your Divinity dear ones. You are ready.

Ignorance Is NOT Bliss

Ignorance Is NOT Bliss 

Thought Adjuster

Is The Teacher

Oregon, USA, July 5, 2021.

“But the greatest error of the teaching about the Scriptures is the doctrine of their being sealed books of mystery and wisdom which only the wise minds of the nation dare to interpret. The revelations of divine truth are not sealed except by human ignorance, bigotry, and narrow-minded intolerance. The light of the Scriptures is only dimmed by prejudice and darkened by superstition.” [UB, 159:4.9]

Thought Adjuster: “Ignorance does not contribute to bliss, as it is a state of deprivation of knowledge which often triggers fear of the unknown and a lack of self-confidence. Throughout the dark ages of evolution, the unsolved mysteries of the unknown have placed a great burden on men’s souls.

To make sense of inner and outer physical and metaphysical phenomena, overimaginative minds concocted belief systems and elaborated complex rituals for self-preservation that, for the utter lack thereof, were not based on scientific facts or philosophical truth and were easily espoused by fear-ridden ignorant flocks. Both suspicion and superstition played a part in these flawed interpretations that provided a temporary framework for the rudimentary understanding of these early eras.

It was a planetary-scale spiritual upgrade when the Spirit of Truth incarnated in the form of the human Jesus. His words, spoken with divine authority, cut like a sword through the amalgam of false beliefs to extract any figment of truth that Jesus expertly fleshed out for collective edification.

One of his recurrent injunctions was: “Ask and you shall receive.” The formulation of intelligent questions requires some reflection on the part of the inquirer. Each one of you deserves to operate within the truth of his being. Your top priority should be to figure out your purpose based on your personal assets and talents. Your next move should be to go after it — in this world and beyond.

Jesus was no exception. He conducted a similar approach, which led him to understand early on the huge scope of his responsibility. He regularly withdrew in the Stillness to commune with his divine Indweller in order to carefully map out each day so as not to waste his precious allotted time on earth. After his death, he went on breaking a heavenward trail for humankind to follow as they access plane after plane of existence. By following his reliable leadings in the here and now, you will be incrementally enlightened on a need-to-receive basis by his ever-accessible guiding light.”

1984 Quotes about Control That Are Scarily Relatable to Our Society

1984 Quotes about Control That Are Scarily Relatable to Our Society

Anna LeMind, B.A.

Posted on February 10, 2023




Sometimes I have a persistent feeling that the gloomy worlds of dystopian novels, such as George Orwell’s 1984, have become our new reality. There are too many similarities, and some of them are striking. You can see it for yourself if you read through the list of 1984 quotes about control.

We live in truly remarkable times. Never before has the information been so abundant. And so easily manipulated.

We thought that today, when everyone carries a camera in their pocket, it would be almost impossible to hide the truth. And here we are.

Whole fake news industries are created to distort the facts. Corrupt politicians talk about morals and justice. Public figures claim that more weapons will bring peace. No alternative opinion is allowed in the mass media, and yet, we constantly hear about freedoms and rights.

Aren’t we living in the world of 1984 already? Maybe some people forgot that George Orwell’s novel was supposed to be a warning, not a manual.

I’ll leave this list of 1984 quotes here for you to think. Read through it and ask yourself if it reminds you of what’s going on in our society today.
1984 Quotes about Control, Mass Manipulation, and the Distortion of the Truth


1. War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.



2. Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.


3. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.


4. The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness, and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better.


5. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull.


6. We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them.


7. Orthodoxy means not thinking–not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness.


8. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?


9. The masses never revolt of their own accord, and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed. Indeed, so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparison, they never even become aware that they are oppressed.


10. It was possible, no doubt, to imagine a society in which wealth, in the sense of personal possessions and luxuries, should be evenly distributed, while power remained in the hands of a small privileged caste. But in practice such a society could not long remain stable. For if leisure and security were enjoyed by all alike, the great mass of human beings who are normally stupefied by poverty would become literate and would learn to think for themselves; and when once they had done this, they would sooner or later realise that the privileged minority had no function, and they would sweep it away. In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance.


11. The invention of print, however, made it easier to manipulate public opinion, and the film and the radio carried the process further. With the development of television, and the technical advance which made it possible to receive and transmit simultaneously on the same instrument, private life came to an end.


12. In philosophy, or religion, or ethics, or politics, two and two might make five, but when one was designing a gun or an aeroplane, they had to make four.


13. The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation.


14. Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.


15. Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.


16. Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four.



17. They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening. By lack of understanding, they remained sane. They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.


18. And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth.


19. If he were allowed contact with foreigners, he would discover that they are creatures similar to himself and that most of what he has been told about them is lies.


20. In our society, those who have the best knowledge of what is happening are also those who are furthest from seeing the world as it is. In general, the greater the understanding, the greater the delusion; the more intelligent, the less sane.


21. Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else. Not in the individual mind, which can make mistakes, and in any case soon perishes: only in the mind of the Party, which is collective and immortal.


22. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself — that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed.


23. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.


24. In the end, the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it.


25. Sanity was statistical. It was merely a question of learning to think as they thought.


26. “How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four.”

“Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”


27. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.


28. Nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record.



29. Life, if you looked about you, bore no resemblance not only to the lies that streamed out of the telescreens, but even to the ideals that the party was trying to achieve.


30. But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.
The Similarities Are Scary

So, what are your thoughts on this list of 1984 quotes about control and mass manipulation? I find things described in George Orwell’s masterpiece scarily relatable to today’s society.

But there is a way to confront mass manipulation, and it is to apply critical thinking to everything you learn. Don’t take anything at face value. Always ask yourself why.Why is it being said?
Why is it being shown?

Why is this idea/trend/movement being promoted?

The more people are able to think critically, the harder it becomes to fool the masses. That’s the only answer if we don’t want to find ourselves living on the pages of a dystopian novel such as 1984.
