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

JOHN MCINTOSH For those who have followed me for some or all of the last decade that I have ‘pointed’ to Truth [usually focused on what is NOT Truth so that Truth could be revealed], you will have noticed that a few times I have posted an article [and most recently through my new novel [PARK LADY], about the rapidly unfolding ‘stories’ that are occurring within the world-dream most call reality. This was to ‘highlight’ HOW the New era of Peace and Love is coming into being th

JOHN MCINTOSH The mind seeks fireworks like a movie with endless action, tension and drama to validate its existence and sense of control. The Heart [the true SELF] seeks nothing knowing that IT is complete. Within this complete ONE-ness there are infinite ‘little moments’ that reveal ITs Beauty, moments when love is extended ‘from’ IT SELF ‘to’ IT SELF. A moment of thoughtfulness not planned is spontaneous Love given ‘to’ IT SELF in the guise of ‘other-ness’. A kind word,

JOHN MCINTOSH The world most call reality, is based on the belief in separation. As a result, it is a world filled with opposites, which provide the basis for ‘contrast’ and the limitless experiences these provide for the ONE SELF [the only true Reality] to experience ITs infinite possibilities out of the Nothing-ness that is ITs natural state. While the ONE SELF [which appears as many] slumbers in this dream experience these opposites generate ‘friction’, which may be ca

JOHN MCINTOSH There is a global dream unfolding at this moment. It is a Happy Dream of level playing fields where each one is free to explore their own dreams in their own way. Tyranny has been put to rest in this dream that grows ever more clear each day. The inequities, the downtrodden, the homeless, the wasted lives, the suffering in every conceivable way are fading … though fires still rage and protests expand in every corner of the earth. These are symptoms of a collapsi

JOHN MCINTOSH There is a window, an opening into the Heart born of a great suffering that permeates humanity throughout every corner of the planet. When one is on their knees, surrender becomes a genuine possibility and this is what opens the window to Truth. More than any time in recorded history this exists at this moment. Even the most myopic, who simply flow with the story offered every day on the street, in the media and from those claiming some inside knowledge, can s

JOHN MCINTOSH Special days are ‘made-up’ lines in the sand that offer opportunities to ‘start again’. They are windows of ‘hope’ that can uplift worn out and worn-down attitudes. They are mental ‘tricks’ used to stimulate creativity and inspire new growth. The mind is a ‘dream creator’, inventing endless ways and means to keep you focused ‘on’ dreaming with your attention focused ‘out there’ for answers to limitless questions about ‘how’ life should be lived for maximum suc

JOHN MCINTOSH Every major religion and all main spiritual belief systems proclaim that ‘God, [by any name] is ONE. If this is so … then where are we? Most, who believe this fundamental truth say, “We are ‘inside’ God … or God is inside us." This statement, although true in essence, suggests that we are ‘separate ‘from’ God but connected. And yet, ONE is boundless – no borders of any kind. This means that God and we [as well as everything that ‘appears’ in the universe] ‘is’ O

-JOHN MCINTOSH When the world-dream, most call reality, SHIFTS from one era into another there is a shake-up, the so-called normal flow of day-to-day life gets tipped over until the great illusion is turned upside-down. It is common now to hear people say they feel like they are losing their mind … and, to the extent this ‘is’ happening, an enormous opportunity exists. It is the ‘mind’ that projects one’s world into apparent manifestation and when it is shaken or wobbly, ‘rea
