Where do we start?

Where do we start? I guess it can be said that we can start from anywhere, for everything is linked and must make sense overall.

The universe has many dimensions. We live here on Earth in one or two or three of those dimensions: plane, surface and volume. But that doesn't say much and we all know about those three dimensions. They also exists in other levels. So we can't count them so much as "dimensions". We thus live in the material world. We also live in other dimensions/planes most of us can't see while living in this material world, only feel. Anything we do here is "copied" at least in one other dimension/plane. In fact in all other dimensions/planes. We can't get away with whatever is happening to us down here whether of our own making or imposed upon us as it is the case with the other dimensions. We are quite responsible for what is happening to us. Why can't we see those other dimensions? For some reasons, among them to not influence our current situation.

Although we have our free will it does come not only with liberty but also responsibility. We can't get away with anything. It's copied elsewhere. So eventually we will have to answer for our behaviour out here or on any dimensions for that matter. How? Well not as 'punishments' or 'sins' but as infractions with sanctions that are consequencials to our deeds... whether "good" or "bad" and we can't escape from them. I will discuss about those aspects later on because the subject matter is vast! Let's say for now that the notion of "karma" is partially what it is about.

Our lives "down here" have some interesting aspects that we don't find as such in other dimensions... The material world makes converge all types of people. Our mandate has always been to make this place a... paradise. We have missed the point for sure. This interaction of all genres of people helps us determined where we fit in. On other plans we won't find ourselves with either the most illuminated mixed with the most criminals and everything in-between. Only here. And on other plans or dimensions we do not choose personally that we belong to one or the other. It is our level of "behaviour" that determines where we should be. We have no say as such in that regard. Our free will all along makes us be where we are at. If we want to be in the most etheral, pure, peaceful, etc. places we have to act in order to reach those areas. Otherwise we get stuck in where we are as long as we do not consciously wish to move on. In some instances it can take the equivalent of hundreds of earth years before we realize this and wish to move on because we think where we are is where we should be. It's a construct, a personal one. And we get along well with our fellows in where we are because we fit it. Not unlike what is going on down here, except that we are not evolving much by staying in one level for hundreds of years... Furthermore, we must move on at one point or the other because everything in the universe IS movement. If we do not wish to move on we will lose the right of being. It seems contradictory that we have no choice and that we do. More explanations about that later because it is another vast subject!

Nothing is new in what I advance here. Everything or almost everything I am going to write has already been said or written by the prophets of the past, whether he is called Lao Tseu, Mohamed, Jesus, Siddharta Gautama (Buddha), Moses, Zarathustra, etc. I only intend to be straightforward. It wants to be a guide. Many aspects of what I will write can be found in all the scriptures, dialogs, etc. Some of what I will write will just all of a sudden makes sense. I have a responsibility towards you here. I am not going to discuss things or advance ideas that I am uncertain about without letting you know. In fact, there are many aspects that I still struggle with. So you have to make your own decision concerning what I propose. As I wrote it is my perspective of things so far, after more than 40 years searching for plausible answers. I am just sharing for what it's worth. For me it is worth a lot! It is logical and plausible. For the last 40 years I encountered quite fluffy stuff and people that did not register on my scale... You are allowed to be skeptical ! I am a no nonsense guy.

Karma, Ethics, Human Activities and the 'Pursuit of Happiness'

There are very few instances in today's world of totally ethical doings. Ultimately almost everything is tainted with activities that make the whole of human bustling unacceptable at higher levels. No one is innocent and safe.

Knowing or not knowing about that will ultimately have an impact on you. This is the most difficult aspect of life in the material world, especially now. The complexity of the societies we've created is such that even though one may not be aware of it or unwilling to dig deeper into the knowledge of whatever it is one is doing, the end result is the same. If it doesn't comply with the requirements at higher levels of the spiritual world, one will end up stuck at lower levels if one doesn't want to care about that. If one does wishes to care about the end result of one's activity, acts AND thoughts to the best of one's knowledge and ability, it will eventually be possible to move on to higher levels because corruptions of all sorts linger all over the material world.

It is almost impossible to escape the realities we've created: the base is rotten. Why is it do we exist and who are we serving? In the pursuit of one's own 'happiness', one is having an impact on others' pursuit of 'happiness', whether positive or negative. It's an endless chain reaction and has a tremendous impact on the Other Side. The Tables of Moses or if you prefer the Ten Commandments are like a spiritual framework to assist humans in their pursuit of 'happiness'. It is not complete but it is a good start to act solely for the purpose of the betterment of the Universe let alone one's betterment. It is quite simple. It doesn't require a PhD in anything to understand them. And yet...

Transcriptions and translations purposefully or not may have altered the wording throughout history. For instance, whether it is considered the fourth of the fifth Commandment 'Honour thy father and thy mother' has been wrongly transcribed and should read: 'Honour fatherhood and motherhood' This is crucial. It places the burden on those having children instead of the children. It means you are not to take lightly the purpose of being a parent, for you bring into this world another being and it is your responsibility to respect this being and teach, educate this individual without exercising undue authority. For many centuries this has been quite a mistake to place the burden on the kids instead of putting it on the parents. Parents have to act as guides towards the child without any sort of abuse.

The difference of perspective is total and has had an impact on everything else. Authoritarian attitude towards one another shows a lack of respect towards one another. Such a situation does not occured on higher levels because there is no necessity to use authority on higher levels because if you have reached higher levels you are at a point of cooperation with one another. The abuse of power, authoritarian power throughout history is tremendous and makes the whole base of being here rotten. We can see it in everything on a daily basis, everywhere. Of course there are some sorts of hierarchies on higher levels of the spiritual world, but they are more like the wiseman or woman of the village. So it's more like a guidance. If you don't like it maybe you shouldn't be there... Anyway you wouldn't be there if you didn't want to follow some rules...
