Second Blog
Dear Family,
Here again, in front of the blank paper, but enjoying the pleasant surprise experienced when writing the first blog of Mi Jornada. In very good faith I started this new blog because I feel that my eternal spiritual journey to answer the basic existential questions that have always haunted me, had reached its culmination thanks to the ‘old’ blog and that what I had to do was just to review it, refine it and expand the ‘audience’. I didn’t think that by introducing a chronological order (to my journey, not to the blog), and starting the review would lead me to a much more logical and revealing perception than the so-called ‘culmination’, although I smelled something, when hoping to find explanations.
I suspect now that just as it happened with the previous one, this blog will also be a pilgrimage in the search for something transcendental in our existence. But to justify this suspicion, I must move forward on the path of review and purification. Only then will I be able to show coherently the magnitude and importance of the surprise experienced.
Before delving into it I want to emphasize that my intention is to carry a message and that the importance is in the message, not in the messenger. However, since much of what I write necessarily testifies to My personal Journey, I cannot avoid giving some autobiographical information, just as I did in the first blog in establishing the evolution of my earthly family. It is evident that each one will have a different story but in the end we will come to the conclusion that we are the same family, we are all created by the same Superior Being who. almost universally, we call God. And we were created in His image and likeness, for we are His sons and daughters. This is the message, and as such it is not new in any way. Most of humanity has heard it for millennia. My testimony refers to how in my case, I have come not only to hear it but to experience it and point out that the same path is within the reach of all who sincerely seek it.
Let’s now go to the first existential question : What am I?
The first impression I perceive is that I have a body that differentiates me from what surrounds me.
Initially I learned in books that the atom was the smallest particle in matter and that, physically, I am a set of atoms that have formed molecules, that have created compounds, that have associated into organs that, like a motor, interact through something we call energy. And this is called a body, it’s solid and durable (although not much, because I eventually learned, (Quantum Mechanics), that atoms are also energy, What it happens is that energy is vibration and there are certain configurations (forms) of it that give the appearance of solidity. Therefore, matter is actually a form of energy.
So my first answer was that I ‘am’ that body. Just matter.
As I advance in my learning I notice that there is a planet-Earth and that in it we find what we call the three kingdoms of nature: Mineral, Vegetable/Animal, and Human. The difference between the first two is what we call life and is characterized by its self-ability to grow and reproduce. Life is something that science has failed to give us a satisfactory explanation but which it argues, is just another ‘natural’ manifestation of energy, as indicated by its tendency to reproduce automatically, protect itself at all costs and adapt to the environment.
The difference between plant and animal is basically the ability to move at will, which we can visualize as a physical process of adaptation. But the difference between animal and human seems to be of a different kind. And this is where another query originates,
the second question, Who am I?
Something makes me ‘feel’ that I am different from the What. Or the physical body. The ‘modern’ era (‘I think therefore I am’, Descartes, among others), has led us to conclude that the difference is the ability to think. Materialists say that it is the brain that thinks, so everything is reduced to a larger size of the brain. This has been impossible to prove. (Or to a different configuration, which has not been confirmed either, with the possible exception in terms of gender, but this would be a difference in form, not in substance).
Notice that this ‘feeling’ includes self-awareness (self-consciousness) not only that I think, but that I may choose and I can feel love. For example, I can choose not to physically reproduce. And these ‘feelings’ show that they are related to and influence the behavior of certain physical organs, such as the brain, sexual organs and heart.
All this indicates that the difference is no longer physical but spiritual (meaning not solid, but necessarily energetic because EVERYTHING is energy). And this has led us to look for its explanation in a multitude of religions, yoga, meditation, new age, etc. In short, systems of thought.
I now find that it was only after a year and a half of its initiation that I addressed the topic of spirituality in the old blog of August 30, 2021. When applying a chronological order to the review of my journey, this is the moment that corresponds to what was written then. It is now clear that it was at my seven years when I felt my father’s spirit.
And again I find ‘coincidences’: How far was I, 3 years ago, from thinking of “mi jornada” as a new blog; but I could perfectly have written it today. I attache the copy and judge for yourselves:
(Original date July 2021)
Dear Family,
So far, I have tried mostly to concentrate on the “scientific” developments of the last 50 years, barely mentioning that I believe in a reunification of science and spirituality. Today I want to try to explain my reasons for this; let us therefore address the “thorny” issue of Spirituality.
Let me begin by stating that this must be an unequivocally individual journey for each person; so what follows is only a summary of my journey. Therefore, I think it is pertinent to provide some personal data that help to visualize my trajectory in search of the so-called spirituality, but avoiding turning this into a biography: Catholic (baptized, believer, not very practicing), Bachelor (graduated from high school -Jesuits), Chemist (U. Nal. Colombia), MSc (MIT). In addition, I have taught and taken courses at several other universities in both Colombia, the U.S. and the U,K. I joined the corporate ranks, Ubia came along and we had our first child and our first serious disagreement. (Conundrum, (the word stuck to me): why is there no school that teaches us to be parents?). My “recommendation” for the nocturnal crying and the consequent sleepless night was to let him cry so that he gets used to “being macho”. She, on the other hand, immediately took him in her arms, pampered him and ended up depositing him on my chest. With a clearly didactic intention, given my academic ancestry, one night I ask her: Why do you think we bring children into the world? The immediate, diaphanous and totally disarming answer: To Love Them! Obviously it was a teaching, but for me; I understood that my scientific, academic and corporate background was missing something.
I read Lobsang Rampa’s books, which, although apocryphal, sparked my interest in Tibet and Buddha and India and the subject of Extrasensory Perceptions (ESP). Then I read Von Daniken and his allegations about ancient civilizations, extraterrestrials and UFOs. Around the time ESP became the subject of scientific research and ceased to be “science fiction”, information about the Law of One reached my ears and I was able to get copies of the published books and I began to read them furiously and try to digest them and decipher their revelations. Not an easy task before the Internet. Apparently I spent so much time on it that on one occasion Ubia asked me: What are you doing this for? “Well, for my spirituality” and to this answer her only comment: You are the last person in the world I expected to hear that from! (Another conundrum? Evidently she does not know that it was she who originated my search; on the other hand, on reflection, her comment confirms to me that the “wiring” of the sexes is definitely different; surely she doesn’t need to, but I do.)
The history of the publication appears bizarre; a peculiar trio of investigators that leads to suicide. The details are summarized in the brief biography of Don Elkins, who committed suicide, and in another appendix, the Suicide, (I must confess that I only read this one several years later); in addition, it extends for more than three pages, it is not essential, but it is important; the reader decides. Be that as it may, the important thing for me is not the story but the information contained. Before I became passionate about the Law of One, I had already “ruminated” on scholarly volumes on Atlantis, Mu, Maya, Incas, Egyptians, and their great Pyramid. When the river sounds……? In this breeding ground, I find myself with a seemingly coherent story of who we are and where we come from; My enthusiasm is not surprising then. (Like any Don Quixote? Well, that’s why I’ve been working hard to document that my “windmills” are real.)
I attach a summary of wikipedia on this subject; both in English and its translation into Spanish. I would like to add two observations:(see P.S. comment at the end)
1. Google’s translation is generally very acceptable and an undeniable improvement from its beginnings when the colloquial phrase in Spanish, ‘just enter and take a chair’ became “between no more and drink a chair”. However, it does not fail to give rise to possible blunders; for example, in the highlighted line, the expression “out of itself” makes it “outside of itself” when what is meant to be emphasized is that Creation is an extension of itself, that is, quite the opposite. “From oneself” sounds more appropriate. (The first word of the Jewish Torah, the basis of the Bible, is elohim, which in Hebrew is the plural of eloh, god, maybe Google is correct? This observation has caused an endless discussion between mono and polytheists.) I highlight this to show that with translations and adaptations it is easy to introduce cat for hare (wanting but not really?), and that we must take care (protect?) ourselves from the ineffable Artificial Intelligence (AI).
2. Irrespective of translation, the whole thing sounds esoteric, super dubious and tangled. Those familiar with Yoga and Meditation may find it more digestible, but the possible reason is that the books follow a strictly chronological format of 106 sessions of about an hour and a half each, spread over almost three years and the publications were made on the fly; Therefore, something related to a topic from the first session may appear in the last session, three books, and years later. Each session includes many questions and answers and the topics are repeated with some frequency; The reader is faced with an enormous amount of information that must be assimilated and organized.
When I “studied” in the physical books, the work was arduous ;however, with patience, a plausible and concatenated story unfolds that can give many explanations and orientations. Let’s see what it says about relatively recent civilizations (less than a million years) on our planet:
“The planet Marduk, located between Mars and Jupiter, had a civilization (of 3rd dimension) that eventually, five or six hundred thousand years ago, ended up destroying it and turned it into the “asteroid belt” that now occupies that space in our solar system; (Forgive me for the graphic, but they literally turned it into shit). The Earth at that time was only in the second dimension (which only supports non-“conscious” plant and animal life), but it was the only nearby thing where the “Mardukian souls” could incarnate, possibly in apes, giving rise to our Neanderthal cousins.
The planet Mars also develops another civilization of 3rd dimension, which 75000 years ago, did not volatilized the planet, but they did destroy its atmosphere, making it necessary to “move them” to Earth, which by this time had already “graduated” to support conscious life. So the Martians are part of our direct ancestor, as they were the first 3rd dimensional “race” on our beloved planet.
Once on Earth, the civilizations of MU (58000) and ATLANTIDA (13000) are developing and extinguishing (dates in parentheses). In all cases, including Marduk and Mars, there has been “help” from the extraterrestrial civilization of RA (who claims to come from Venus) and who (one or many?) came “personally” to Egypt (and some to South America) 11,000 years ago and built their Great Pyramid. In RA’s words: “It was our naïve belief that we could teach by direct contact. However, it turned out that those in power reserved this technology for themselves. This was not intended by the Law of the One. We left your peoples.” As we can see, we haven’t changed a damn thing in 11,000 years; the same thing is happening to us now with energy and anti-gravity technology and it has just happened to the USA with the Afghans. (As above, so below!).”
I can delve deeper into this and other topics, but I’d better leave it for another installment, as it would become abusively extensive for a single sitting; let me just mention the greatest teaching I have received from RA: “honoring the free will of others is the most important principle in the Universe.”
The individual power of Yes and No; it must be respected above any other consideration, (it is the 1st distortion of this Law) and it seems that it is what God (the One) has instituted to create and maintain the universe.
I repeat again that all this is part of my journey. The teachings are of RA but the comments and concatenation are of my own, which do not necessarily have to coincide with the journey of each person. Feel completely free to disagree or reject, neither RA nor I are going to get angry, because
We love you,
Alberto
As I told you before, at that time the language was Spanglish and I don’t want to change anything that could alter the fidelity of the coincidence. Therefore, I only allow myself to clarify that Ubia refers to my wife and explain my reference to
” (As above, so below!).” The Afghans thing is an analogy in my crazy head of the U.S. intention to supply money and technology to enable the democratization of Afghanistan, with the result that the powerful (in both countries) ended up stealing everything and leaving the people in the same conditions of oppression. And this parenthesis probably means that the same thing happened to the U.S., who comes from below, as to Ra who came from above. (The expression is the synthesis of the revelation of the Emerald Tablet (esotericism) and is accepted as referring to the likeness of Heaven and Earth.)
As stated in the first paragraph of the old blog, I spent a lot of time and effort updating and disseminating the “scientific” information of the last 50 years and I still try to keep up to date. Almost everything published so far in the old blog is perfectly valid and usable and I will include it as the chronological review continues. However, the emphasis of this new blog is spiritual and it is pertinent to note that I now have two observations about the ‘conundrums’ that assailed me then:
1. There is no school for parents, because you can teach what to do to have a child but being a parent can only be experienced and is beyond teaching. The same happens to finding out that we are a child of God.
2. My wife has contributed, involuntarily but enormously, to furthering my search for spirituality, but it was my father’s spirit when his physical body died that originated it. I came to recognize this only now when I made the first chronological review of my journey and remembered the now remote episode of the ‘crash of a truck’. This has allowed me to visualize other real consequences of his death and its influence on my own life. I can now accept and forgive his death with love and not as punishment. And for the first time say THANK YOU DAD.
3. Let this be my testimony today.
So the first clue to Who Am I? I am a thinking being but I think with a different and separate type of energy from that of the brain and I am something more than a physical body. I am a spirit. And so are you!
(This is what I referred to in the opening Preamble, as an Unidentified Flying Mind UFM)
The magnitude of this perception and that of my testimony today, I think you can glimpse, but I assure you it will become more evident as ‘our’ review progresses. We are all in this because we are all One, that is why I write ‘our’ and I feel it, the same as I feel that
I love you,
Alberto
P.S.
Reviewing the addendums for the ‘old blog’ I find that Wikipedia reports them as ‘deleted’, so I can no include them now. (Fortunately they are still on my hard drive and if you are really interested in them let me know and I will gladly send you copies).
I notice that there are other ‘disappeared’ references from wikipedia, all related to revelations on this subject. It is evident that under the pretext of lack of ‘scientific’ verification there is an active campaign to avoid, or at least limit, its dissemination. The Orion team is on their toes, but I think it’s because they’re losing! (We will see lateer that these refer to those who promote the path of the Ego)
