			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life and death are illusions.  The whole world is an illusion, a hologram.  The only truth is infinite love.  Everything else is illusion.  Consciousness is that eternal love.  So is &#8220;God.&#8221;  It is all one and the same.  This division we see is just another way to control us.  We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.  Life is a dream and there is no such thing as death.  We are the imagination of ourselves, people.  There is nothing to fear, and everything to love.  The only thing to truly fear is fear itself.  Fear is the mind killer.  But it is just an illusion, like everything that is not love.</p>
<p>There was a time, before we forgot where we came from, when we were in this world, but not of it.  We still are, but we knew it back then.  And this forgetting that no matter what happens, the core essence of our being will be okay, that is what has caused all the mayhem in this world today.  We are manipulated purposely to see ourselves are separate from others, when nothing could be further from the truth.  We all are one, we are the same, and that same is consciousness.  And that consciousness exudes pure love upon everything it touches.  It really is that simple.  And it can never be destroyed.  Life and death are more experiences happening through consciousness, but they are not really real.  It is simply a mental construct, a dream, a figment, a hologram.  So don&#8217;t take life/death too seriously, or you&#8217;ll never understand fully what this experience is about.</p>
<p>Until next time&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just want out from this kind of life.  I feel like a slave to my job, my body, and society at large.  I just wish there were millions more like myself so that we could start a fucking revolution.  But alas, people are too consumed with survival to have time to start a revolution.  They are too busy being dumbed down by media and reality shows.  They are kept in a state of fear where they can easily be manipulated.  It&#8217;s all just a ride, a dream, but the creators of this dream want us to stay asleep at any cost.  But we are slowly waking up.  And there is nothing that will stop us from realizing our true nature.  It may take time, but it is all illusory anyway.  No matter what happens, we are infinitely loved and nothing can change that.  In fact, infinite love is the only truth, everything else is an illusion.  We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.  Life is a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.  It&#8217;s all made up, especially things like the economy and religion.  </p>
<p>I think Christ is rolling around on his cross right now seeing what the people have turned Christianity into.  A bunch of hate-filled, conversion-happy zealots fighting to &#8220;save&#8221; everyone to think exactly the way they do.  Well, I&#8217;ve done my own spiritual seeking, thank you very much, and none of the religions seem entirely true to me.  Maybe at their base level, like when Christ was actually on this Earth, and he was speaking his truth about the nature of reality, maybe that was when it was true, but now it is simply one big cash cow.  Imagine that!  Christ, who lived a simple life, who shunned getting rich and ruling over others, who explained that we are indeed all the same consciousness, that we are all one, is now the reason for a billion dollar tax-free industry.  And they&#8217;ve dumbed down his message to the point that it isn&#8217;t even relevant anymore.  </p>
<p>But why do I feel this way about reality?  That we are all one consciousness and that there is no such thing as death and the the end of all suffering to to understand that infinite love is the only truth and that no matter what happens, nothing can truly harm us?  Where did all of that come from?  I&#8217;m a big believer in if something keeps appearing in your reality that it has a ring of truth to it.  If things keep coming up in your little world, then it most likely is trying to get your attention.  So many synchronicities have led me to this conclusion and the best part is that once I can hold this perspective all the time, I will have transcended all fear.  What a valuable pursuit!  I think I may have discovered a life purpose here!  I can work to wake people up to the true nature of reality while at the same time wake myself up as well.  It may be a very deep rabbit hole to go down, but it will be worth it and it is even worth it now, because the journey is just as important as the destination.  Learning and uncovering new truths on my way to realizing universal consciousness seems like a very rewarding path and so far it has kept my interest.  This is my new pursuit.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t matter how long it takes.  It could even take many lifetimes, but I figure, why not get started now?  Better to serve humanity and the universe at large than to die with my music still inside me.  Better to express a great truth to the world than keep it all to myself.  I know many others are also doing this, but we are all the same, all one, so it&#8217;s just aspects of our great self coming out.  Wish us all luck, although the transformation is inevitable.  I can feel it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to admit I haven&#8217;t created anything lately on this blog or in my life.  I&#8217;ve been running the same script for too long, working nights and not really feeling motivated or having the energy to create much of anything.  I&#8217;ve been spending a lot of time simply drifting from one interest to another, reading things that are way &#8220;out there,&#8221; such as things from David Icke, as well as listening to my favorite music and comedians.  I&#8217;ve come to a realization as of late that if I&#8217;m ever going to experience abundance, it is going to involve creation of some sort.  I&#8217;m going to have to create my own universe, in which my ideas and my realizations flow with the tides.  I want to speak my truth to the whole world and see what the reaction is.  I want to do something similar to what Bill Hicks did in his &#8220;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMUiwTubYu0" target="_blank">It&#8217;s Just a Ride&#8221;</a> speech.  That had to be one of the best pieces of pure, undiluted consciousness I have ever heard in my life.  He was so on the level (whatever that means) that it stuns me to think of what he would have accomplished had he not died.  But he lived long enough to deliver his message to the world.  The same goes for musicians like Bradley Nowell and Bob Marley.</p>
<p>I feel that if I can get out there and speak my truth, fill the collective unconscious with my ideas about the world, I will have made a difference.  But what is my truth?  My truth is that we could live in a paradise if we simply got rid of fear and control.  If we made the choice to love instead of fear, then the world would be such a better place.  Imagine what we could accomplish if we had no fear.  If everyone on this planet transcended fear, especially fear of what others think of them, we could create masterpieces, do things that humanity is meant to do, other than these soul-crushing jobs we all have to go to to make ends meet.  We could grow all our own food, and spend the rest of our time learning more and more about our reality and ourselves.  As Bill Hicks put it, &#8220;We could explore space, both inner and outer, forever in peace.&#8221;</p>
<p>We just need to wake up and realize that life is nothing but a dream, and that we are the imagination of ourselves.  If we realized that life was a dream, all of us that is, we could finally let go of fear and finally bask in the glow of love and joy.  If we would open our minds to any possibility, to understand that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there would be a massive shift in the world and the universe at large.  People are saying that we&#8217;re finally starting to wake up, and I agree.  We haven&#8217;t quite reached a critical mass yet, but as the control structure gets tighter, more and more of us are resisting it, and are coming to an understanding that soon there will be a consciousness revolution.  Whether it is 2012 or sometime after that is irrelevant because time is just an illusion, and reality is simply a hologram, a movie.  And we can change it any time we want for the better.</p>
<p>This may go over some people&#8217;s heads, and it&#8217;s just that those people are not ready yet.  They will be one day, so there is no need to worry.  As long as they don&#8217;t keep killing all the people who try and help us remember where we came from and who we really are, then we will have our true nature revealed and live the rest of our lives in expansive joy and love.  We will have the fundamental understanding that we are all one and to hurt another is to hurt oneself.  So, it seems rather stupid from that perspective to be in all these wars and killings.  To kill or hurt someone is to do the same to yourself, which is what I think Jesus was saying when he said, &#8220;Love thy neighbor as thyself.&#8221;  It is because we are the same, as well all represent consciousness.  To treat others as you would want to be treated would be a given, because it would be like treating yourself the way you want to be treated, which comes pretty natural I&#8217;d say.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just trying to open doors, not shut them.  I&#8217;m trying to explain how everything we experience is simply just a dream, or a hologram, and that in reality every living and non-living entity is all part of the same living, breathing consciousness.  We truly are all in this together.  There is no escape from this realization.  It is our fundamental basis.  The ride only seems real because that&#8217;s how powerful our minds are.  Some of us remember that there&#8217;s no need to worry, ever, because it&#8217;s just a ride&#8230;and we kill those people.  But it doesn&#8217;t matter, because it&#8217;s just a ride.  That is my great truth, the one I wish to express.  The most empowering philosophy yet.  If you keep hearing the same things over and over, the universe is guiding you to them, and I&#8217;ve come across so much that has validated that this is indeed a &#8220;dream,&#8221; or an illusion, and on an  intuitive level it makes perfect sense to me, and it is the Great Forgetting that keeps us bound to being in this world and being of it, instead of being in this world, but not of it.</p>
<p>I hope this has been informative, or enlightening, or simply interesting for you.  There is hope in this world, and a big change is coming.  I&#8217;ll be waiting there for you on the  other side of it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This will be a rather short post on how minimalism is the end of organizing in case you can&#8217;t read titles. <img src='http://www.andrewbrunelle.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   When you create a life that contains nothing but the essential for you to thrive, then there are no extraneous things to organize, because everything is already in its place.  You don&#8217;t need to buy all sorts of fancy closet organizers or Shoes Under, because you&#8217;ll have more than enough space for everything.  It truly is a wondrous thing to be able to put everything you own in the space that is allotted to you at this current time without having to spend money on more things that will only serve to organize the things you already have.</p>
<p>When in doubt, simplify.  It&#8217;s not so hard to throw things out you don&#8217;t use anymore, or to give them away.  You just have to come to the point where you detach emotionally from that particular item.  The key is to get things to the point where you have everything you need to live a good life, and nothing else.  It is pure simplicity.</p>
<p>Just as an aside, I notice there are tons of minimalist blogs out there.  Is that extraneous or what?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We need to bring down the control structure.  It is stifling us in so many ways it is not even funny.  If we knew how powerful we actually are, we would be shocked, but all this power has been blocked from us through the system of domination and control.  We are socially conditioned to believe certain things about this reality we live in that dispempowers us, rather than empower us.  We are told to fear the outside world, and to let fear control our lives, when it is the exact opposite of how we should be living.  We should be living fearless, empowering lives.  But the world around us reinforces this fear mindset that totally consumes us because in a world of fear, it makes it so much harder to be courageous.</p>
<p>In order to transcend this fearful mode of existence, there is only one thing we can possibly do, and that is to raise our consciousness.  Raising your consciousness can do all sorts of wonderful things for you.  It can get you closer to your best self, the self that it was truly meant to be.  We all have some vision of our best selves, don&#8217;t we?  Someone whose life flows effortlessly, who makes a great living and has fulfilling relationships.  Someone who is so confident that nothing can ever phase him/her.  Someone who has no fears, not even of death, as this best self realizes that there is no such thing as death and that it is all an illusion or hologram, and that there truly is nothing to fear.  You could call this person your higher self, or you could simply call it the person you were meant to be.</p>
<p>If you can see through the matrix of this world, then you know that it truly is just an illusion, and if we transcend that illusion, we can live extraordinary lives, with bliss as our normal state of being.  The control structure only exists in our minds, so that is where we need to bring it down.  It was from the minds of people that the control structure got started, so it is from within that we must bring it down.  The consciousness revolution starts now.  Reject fear on its most basic premise: the fear of death.  The only reason we fear death is because we are conditioned to do so.  If that fear was taken away, what would we do that we didn&#8217;t do previously out of fear of death or simply the unknown?  This is how Jesus Christ lived his life for those Christians out there who think I&#8217;m talking New Age rubbish.</p>
<p>The true nature of reality is that reality itself is some kind of illusion, some sort of projection.  It&#8217;s hard to explain in words, but I would have to say that Bill Hicks put it best when he said it is just a ride, but some people have been on the ride so long that they begin to think that it is real, but in reality it is just a ride.  And there are some people who remember that it is just a ride and say, &#8220;There is no need to be afraid ever because it&#8217;s just a ride.&#8221;  And we kill those people because we are so attached to the ride, it has to be real.  But that&#8217;s okay, because in the end, it&#8217;s just a ride.  Consciousness moves on, as do we, and there is no beginning and no end.  So, in the grand scheme of things, nothing truly matters except pure consciousness because that is the only thing that will ultimately endure, so there is no need to be fearful of anything, and thus the control structure fades away.</p>
<p>We are ruled by our mind, our left brain, or whatever you wish to call it.  The logical part of our brain dictates to us how the world is, when the right part of our brain is the side that is more intuitive and can sense these consciousness feelings and thoughts more clearly.  The world is not even linear, as it appears.  It is simultaneous.  Every moment is in the present, and each present moment is a new reality, and all realities occur at once, so everything that has happened and everything that will happen is happening right now, although there is some subject to change because of free will, although our free will is stuck in the illusion or hologram, so it has little meaning to consciousness, because consciousness is so much more than just what we perceive.  It is everything physical and non-physical, everything we can perceive and everything we cannot.  It is even more than that, but we can&#8217;t even comprehend that.  And we are all a part of it, like we are all part of a dream or a ride, and when we &#8220;wake up,&#8221; we will know the true nature of everything.</p>
<p>When viewed from this perspective, your individual life has little meaning.  It is simply an experience consciousness is having through you for this moment in your perceived time, and will move on to other things.  It is but a drop in the bucket of all of the universe and beyond (and believe me, beyond is such a relative term here).  We don&#8217;t know what is truly out there or in here.  We can be told what our true nature is, but to truly understand what our true nature is is a whole other animal.  We can live for this world, or we can live for our lives after this world, or we can live for both, which is some form of enlightenment, or at least a higher level of consciousness.  The key is to get the global consciousness to a level that is sufficient to stop the control structure, which was most likely perpetrated by some aliens from another dimension that are stuck in such low levels of consciousness that they have to consume whole planets just to feel powerful.</p>
<p>People often wonder why most people in spiritual circles don&#8217;t think animals should also raise their consciousness.  I say it is because they are already where they need to be.  They live their lives in peace amongst themselves, and while they may eat other species in order to survive, nature ensures that they don&#8217;t get out of balance, and they know their place.  They also realize that they are a spiritual being having a temporary physical experience, and do not fear death, as they don&#8217;t even realize it is going to happen.  You could call this stupidity, but I call it inner knowing.  They realize that it is just a ride, and that they can change it any time they want.  They don&#8217;t have the ability to feel hate or fear when in their natural environments.</p>
<p>The animals are a reminder of how we used to live.  We may have been intelligent intellectually, and we used to use that intelligence to help the Earth, and to harmoniously help the Earth be a better place to live while we had this temporary experience.  Millions of years of humans and human-like animals were stewards of the Earth, rather than exploiters of it, because we were at such high levels of consciousness that we just did what the great gods within us knew was best for our experience.  Now look at the world and see that as within so without.</p>
<p>What happened to us on the physical plane is debatable, but whatever it was had to be pretty traumatizing to bring the level of consciousness of humans so low, but it was also blended with intellectual intelligence that rivals any other organism, but that is also debatable.  Dolphins are supposedly much more intelligent than us, and do you see them paving the ocean floor and putting up shopping malls?  No, because at their level of consciousness, the physical doesn&#8217;t matter, and consumerism is something that was made up by humans and is something that they see causes far more harm than good.  Far more.  We are on a runaway train to destruction, at least from a human perspective, and although it is just a ride, it would be nicer if it was a more pleasant ride, a more joyful ride, other than this sociopathic one we have now.</p>
<p>We can get there by raising our consciousness as a whole.  It is the cure-all for the world&#8217;s problems.  There will be no more wars, no more suffering, no more fear or negativity.  It will be a wonderful world to live in, with us being in a blissful state most of the time.  It may take time, but time is just an illusion anyway, and it is going to pass regardless of what we do, so why not emerge on the other side better equipped to live in this holographic universe?  Take down the fear, build up the love and courage energy.  Realize that there is no such thing as death, that life is a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.</p>
