JOHN MCINTOSH   If a diamond is wrapped in garbage bags or silk … it’s still a diamond. When the appeal of the wrapping is gone and discarded, the diamond is revealed as always having been there, temporarily hidden – NOT by the wrappings but by one’s ATTENTION and INTEREST ‘in’ the wrappings.   This is the present state of experience for most. The ONE SELF, the only Reality, is wrapped in the conditioning [attachments, expectations and identifications] that defines the entity

JOHN MCINTOSH   This will be a somewhat more ‘esoteric’ follow up to Part – 1 of THE TRUMP GAME article, touching on a loftier view of ‘What’s Really Going On’. I have already indicated that what is occurring is a ‘neutral phase’ the earth, actually the entire solar system, is going through that I refer to as an Era of Peace and Light. According to The Precession of the Equinoxes we began entering something called The Photon Belt about 1987 [what some call The Harmonic Conver

JOHN MCINTOSH   From the sublime beauty of  lofty music that swells and embraces the heart to heights of ecstatic joy to the depths and malicious corridors of dark  and agonizing imaginations, the pendulum of opposites swings in sweeping arcs of separation. It cannot be otherwise, as the world of manifested things and experiences demands contrast.   The mind that is the author and architect of its surrounding universe seeks endlessly to correct, to fix, to somehow bring peace

JOHN MCINTOSH   Those of you who know me, know that I am a spiritual author who does ‘not’ teach – but points at what is NOT real. In this way the false is exposed and the Truth revealed as ever-Present … on  ITs own. The basic foundation is that “what is real has no beginning or ending” … what does that entail? Basically, the entire universe, which is thereby exposed as an illusion or dream. Nevertheless, we ‘as’ the ultimate Truth or ONE SELF ‘are’ navigating within this dr

JOHN MCINTOSH The concept of heaven and hell are ‘of’ the mind since the mind is a product of the belief in separation [opposites]. It is ‘in’ the mind that heaven and hell are experienced and only there. When a mind temporarily departs from the body avatar it has occupied in what some call a near death experience [NDE], it experiences vividly what it has come to believe. This dramatic experience does NOT validate those beliefs … it simply ‘reveals’ them.   There ‘are’ no ‘op

JOHN MCINTOSH   Our beautiful brother was said to have risen from the grave leaving the ‘tomb’ empty. HE once said: “I, of myself, am nothing [empty].” This reference spoke of Jesus the man, the ‘identity’ that most believe is who they believe they are - a body-mind-identity. As one who ‘knew’, HIS statement spoke about what was un-real, that this ‘me’ was ‘nothing’ – an illusion. He added: “It is the Father that does the work.” The Father is the bible’s reference to the ONE

JOHN MCINTOSH   Remember … when we talk about WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN THE WORLD … we are discussing the Grand Dream, a projection [an illusion] on the screen of Consciousness within the boundless ONE SELF [YOU are], which is the only Reality there is. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. By now, even the deepest sleepers and most ‘un-informed’ have noticed that Trump [actually, the global Trump Alliance] IS … in fact ‘Global’ … not simply MAGA. The objective IS genuine

JOHN MCINTOSH Remember, we are speaking about a dream projected on the screen of consciousness. YOU are the screen – NOT the dream ................................................................. When an Era ends several things occur: -the old structure must fall and that means chaos, conflict and confusion for a season -new structures form and these are ‘at first’ looked on with skepticism and criticism … the mind [the false self – body-mind-identity] embraces the enemy it

JOHN MCINTOSH Imagine you are an actor and you are handed a script where every character in the movie is played by you. Every word, every action and every thought in the movie emanates from you. Indeed, even the director is you. As part of that direction, you instruct yourself to ‘forget’ that you are playing virtually every part. In this movie, that comes easily as you rehearse each part and it begins to seem obvious that everyone … so-called ‘else’, is someone ‘else’.   Thi

JOHN MCINTOSH This is another of my periodic articles about WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON in the world-universe dream. The emphasis is on … that it’s a ‘story’ within the Grand Dream and NOT reality. Nevertheless, we ‘as’ the ONE SELF ‘appearing as many’ … ‘are’ IN the dream and whether one is fully AWAKE [Free in total Awareness OF the ONE SELF they are] or deeply asleep [as most of humanity is], we still need to ‘navigate within it. ................................................

JOHN MCINTOSH   Unity through sovereignty is the direction energy is taking throughout the world at this moment. Take away the actors on the world stage along with the myriad of judgment that accompanies the observation of the script that is playing out and simply ‘feel’ this energy. When it comes into full manifestation it will be the closest the dream world most call reality can come to the awareness of ONE-ness or the ONE SELF that alone IS ‘reality’.   This manifested New

JOHN MCINTOSH Of course, navigating the dream-world most call reality involves some basic planning, but when you are Truly FREE, always this is flexible and open to instant shifts in direction when the ever-Present ONE SELF You Really Are nudges elsewhere. No matter the importance of the plan, always it is changeable ‘if’ that still small inner voice points differently. From grocery shopping to well organized events like a weddings or long planned seminars … the inner guide k

JOHN MCINTOSH A well-known concept in spiritual communities including religion is ‘spiritual discernment’, which is supposed to offer the facility of reviewing circumstances in a non-judgmental manner provided by some sort of ‘inner guidance’ [by any name]. While the ‘intention’ behind this is honorable it still points to ‘separation’ [the foundation of dreaming], because it states that there IS someone being ‘guided’ to observe in a so-called ‘neutral’ manner.   There IS onl

JOHN MCINTOSH Nothing is out of place. All is in Perfect order … despite appearances. Yes, the world looks a mess, even for those with their heads deeply buried in mainstream media propaganda and the gossip narratives that spiral into wave after wave of insane fabrications from it … everyone wonders, ‘What’s going on”?   What is happening in the ‘world-dream’ is NOT just an American phenomena, its global and bit by bit the old regime is being EXPOSED in all its darkness and t

JOHN MCINTOSH Discontent is an aspect of suffering and suffering is an expression of ‘resistance to’ – WHAT IS. Suffering is useful to the extent that it brings one to the Awareness that suffering is NOT necessary. Saying YES to WHAT IS [which is NON-resistance], is the recognition that IT [whatever IT is] ‘is’ happening. It doesn’t mean you are indifferent or apathetic to or in agreement with ‘what’ IT is, it means you recognize that THIS is currently happening, which allows

JOHN MCINTOSH   “Trapped” consciousness is a ‘loop’ of repetition resulting in manifested experiences that ‘seem’ to validate the level of awareness within the loop. This is the error associated with the well-known adage: “We create our own reality”. NO, we do not … we [while we sleep to reality] ‘manifest’ our own EXPERIENCE. There is a vast difference. Be it finding a parking spot through concentrated thought or bringing about a vast global empire … the temporary manifestat

JOHN MCINTOSH There is a term often used in the pathless-path to Freedom called ‘spiritual by-passing’. This can arise when one believes that ‘if’ the world is a dream – nothing matters. However, what occurs is the mirror that the world-dream ‘is’, that offers endless opportunities to discover what conditioning one has that veils the ONE SELF [Reality] they are, is ‘missed’. Recognizing these veils allows the direct route to Freedom through Self Inquiry/Surrender to dissolve

JOHN MCINTOSH As indicated in Part -1 of this post, within the world-universe-dream of what humanity calls reality, the SHIFT into an era of Peace and Light is being shepherded by a Global Alliance as it neutralizes the influences of the last era – a patriarchy. The predominant focus of what is largely a ‘completed’ endeavor is the ‘re-programming’ of the Collective Consciousness of the planet so that what was ‘believed’ as true, is [as much as possible] gently nudged into a

JOHN MCINTOSH The world-universe is a Grand Dream no different than a nighttime dream but with apparent ‘continuity’. It comes into being as a result of an idea – separation. There ‘is’ only ONE SELF but through the idea of separation, IT appears as many including ALL manifestations and experiences. Separation manifests opposites and opposites swing like a pendulum between extremes. The SHIFT now occurring is bringing in an era of Peace and Light where these opposites are in

JOHN MCINTOSH  A belief is a mental construct and can change. Truth does not change. A belief has a beginning and ending. Truth is timeless and simply IS. A belief has doubt mixed with faith. Truth is unshakable.   Believing that the world-universe is a dream does not engender Freedom. Knowing the world-universe is a dream ‘is’ Freedom.   Once this knowing arises, the life that was experienced changes forever. However, it is Freedom ‘with’ baggage because the ‘conditioning [e
