Join us today at 5:00 PDT for Science Fiction Radio Theater Workshop at the new Gorby’s Place in the Dark Mall (PVA). As we read and listen to scifi stories we have the opportunity to shift our point of view out of the mechanical, out of the egotistical. Consider the question, how does the essential self insert itself into my life? The essential self requires that you “will it” to be a part of your life. It doesn’t do it automatically. It takes your effort to bring your essential self into your day to day activity. However, you may first need to look at, are you free from your attachments and your expectations in life to even remember to make this effort? Ordinarily one has the habit to justify one’s life -- the involuntary drama as if unfolds -- and you say, “it’s not my fault”. To urgently feel the necessity for realizing how one is driven by expectations and thus mechanically following the Winds of Karma while in life, let’s listen to an excerpt from the American Book of the Dead (ABD) Chamber 25. gatewaysbooksandtapes/books/bk020.html The 25th Chamber directed to all Beings everywhere. (The entire 25th Chamber from the 30th Anniversary Edition of the ABD is delivered as a communication to the voyagers present and to all beings everywhere. For the strongest impression from the material in this post, it is advised to read or listen to Chamber 25 while referencing it.) The ABD as a guidebook points to the understanding that the Macrodimensions portray exactly what you expect them to, in every way. It can’t be any different. It’s the unraveling of your lifetime, the display of the components of your consciousness. How you live your life most often is according to your expectations, and your expectations set up the picture show in the Bardos. Watching the made-for-TV movie recommended by E.J. Gold “Haunts of the Very Rich” will illustrate this. You have a chance in this life to become aware of your compelling Karmic Tendencies and work to bring your essential self voluntarily into the picture. On the other hand, you can choose to succumb to “good sense”, subscribe to consensus reality beliefs and to your conditioned expectations. Or as Worldworker said one Wednesday evening during the 36th ABD program, “We can construct new expectations if we do our work.” So let’s shift our attention to the stories this week and observe while reading and listening from the point of view of expectations affecting how the drama develops and evolves. And you are invited to remember that you can also take the same attitude with your own life. Just taking the first step of observing the involuntary unraveling of your expectations will make a foundation for further work efforts.
