What is It We Don’t Know?

There may be a thousand layers where evil seems to exist, but there is one where it does not, and that is truth. There are thousands of layers of lies and we have bought into those layers. We have deceived ourselves, but ultimately we decide what is real, and upon that decision rests all of our other decisions.

We have to re-diagnose what is the human problem. Suppose there is only one human problem, and we think there are hundreds. Suppose that one human problem is ignorance, covered over by arrogance. We don’t even know what ignorance is. We think ignorance is lack of information or education. Yet we live in the information age, and daily we surf the information highway. The education level is the highest in history. Ignorance is not lack of information or education, but mis-education.

And so we are ignorant of what ignorance is, and we are mis-educated. We don’t know that we don’t know, and we don’t know how to know. So the question is why we don’t know that we don’t know. Arrogance hides our lack of knowledge. This arrogance says that we are right. The ego had rather be right than happy any day.

And how can we be sure that we don’t know? We can know we don’t know because of anxiety. Anxiety is the direct result of ignorance, mis-education and arrogance. We don’t know the nature of reality. Does not knowing mean that we are not intelligent? Absolutely not. We are very intelligent and we are mis-using our intelligence, so that our magnificent intelligence is working against us.

What is it we don’t know? We don’t know who God is, nor who we are. We don’t know the meaning of the word “I.” We think “I” means the ego. Not knowing who “I” is infects and poisons our entire use of language. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, especially since we are such intelligent beings.

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. What kind of power are we talking about ? Ego Power? Is ego powerful? Intelligence is dangerous, great intelligence is even more dangerous when under the control of ego. Education is dangerous, more education can be even more dangerous, unless we realize what it is we don’t know.

What we don’t know is our spirituality. Spirituality means awareness, and awareness means truth, and the truth is that only the Infinite Good exists. Thus truth is a discovery, and we will not seek that discovery as long as we are ignorant and arrogant. And except for anxiety, we might not even be interested in discovery.

So let us thank God that we are anxious, and that we don’t know why yet. We attribute anxiety to every external cause that we can imagine. Anxiety has nothing to do with the external. Anxiety arises from our beliefs about the external, not from the external. Anxiety arises from our ego story about the nature of reality. Anxiety-recognition and anxiety-analysis are thus essential to our re-education, and to the proper restoration and use of our infinite intelligence.

You will never feel safe as long as you believe in evil as a power. There is only One Power. There are not two powers. National insecurity is a belief in two powers. As long as we believe in two powers, war will continue and Universal Free Energy will not be understood as valuable. Our great intelligent statesmen in Washington are ignorant of this One Power. Ignorant of this One Power, our anxiety drives us into control tactics. Universal Free Energy will never be acceptable to the ego, because the ego is a fear and control mechanism, and Universal Free Energy would be the end of the ego.

The human mind is a control machine. It edits out any conflicting information that does not fit its own model of reality. Thus our vice-president can say that global warming does not exist. And our president can say that we can win the war in Iraq. And the rest of us can argue with them. We are all fighting for control over our anxiety. We have decided that oil is necessary for national security and we edit out all conflicting information. Any means justifies this end.

Our end belief is that there are many powers, and we want to be number one. But so does every other national ego. Nuclear power is considered to be one of these many competing powers. Evil is defined as whatever exposes our national insecurity and good is defined as whatever restores our sense of control.

We do not know the One Power. This lack of knowledge controls the world scene. If there is only One Power and that power is truth, intelligence, love and Infinite Goodness, then we are on the wrong track and Universal Free Energy will not be number one to us yet. Until we become aware of the One Power, we would simply misuse any such free energy, just as the arabs do. We are no more aware than they. We are as oblivious of the One Power as they are.

In our stupidity we think oil is it. Oil is not Universal Free Energy. Oil is just one form of that energy. Oil dependency means that we do not know the One Power. Oil dependency has made fools of us all. Oil dependency can never replace God dependency. Ego can never replace the Self. Fear can never replace Love. Many competing powers can never replace the One Power. Ignorance can never replace anxiety and its healing function.

Wouldn’t you like to believe that there is only One Power and that it is Infinite Goodness? Wouldn’t you like to know that Truth is infinitely good, and that reality is infinitely good? Wouldn’t your anxiety disappear if you knew that? Wouldn’t your creativity return in full force? Wouldn’t war disappear from your mind if you felt safe?

You can know the truth and it will set you free of all of the burdens of fear and control. Enlightenment is the best name for that knowing process. There is nothing else worth doing and knowing until we break through that death strangle. You can begin today. Just say “I and my Father are one” That was the way Jesus did it and he modeled reality re-discovery for us. “I am one with the One Power. There is no second.” If I claim that this One Power is love, then fear will begin to disappear.

War is no longer justifiable. Murder is ignorance. Fear is ignorance. Control is ignorance. Force is ignorance. Insecurity is ignorance. Retaliation is ignorance. Dependency on oil is ignorance. Evil is ignorance. Fighting evil is ignorance. Believing in evil is ignorance. The ego is ignorance. Only the knowledge of One Power is sanity. Only Love is sanity. Only forgiveness is sanity. Only the Self is sanity. Only the truth can set us free from ignorance and insanity. Truth is the awareness of the Infinite Good. Anxiety is the friend who reminds us that we are not yet aware of the Truth.

How can all of this work out in a practical manner? We don’t know, and that is not our business. That is God’s business. Our business is to correct our thinking and open up our awareness. Only Infinite Intelligence can work out the details. Certainly there will be a period of confusion as we change from ignorance to trust. But jobs will re-align, governments will be revamped, and love will reign for the first time upon the earth. Ego will be the servant and not the master. Although we have tasted of it here and there, we haven’t had democracy yet. Without Universal Free Energy, we won’t ever have it. We have five years left until 2012. Can we go for it?

And so what is your model of reality? What is that story which you have so carefully built, polished and refined for years and years? What is that story for which you sacrifice everything else? Which you live and die for? Is it worth it? Is your model working?

How many tons of information does your story edit out? 99%? “Yes” is the correct answer. Our model of reality screens out 99% of the information available. Our model of reality is our security. Our story is our savior. Our story is the source of all of our anxiety, all of our control and defense mechanisms, and all of our suffering.

God is not in our story. How can God be where ego is? Impossible. God is not in our national security ego model. We say “In God we trust” but we do not. What a joke! We trust our weapons, not God. We trust our control mechanisms, not God. We trust our republican or democratic agendas, not God. We trust oil, not God. Ego is mis-trust. Ego is mis-education. Ego is mis-imagination. Ego is mis-diagnosis. Ego is mis-treatment.

God is not where ego is. Ego is the belief in many powers, not in the One Power. Ego is the story about evil. God is not in that story, and neither are you. Isn’t that a crock? We are not even in our story, in our model of reality. No wonder we are so ignorant. We are Self-ignorant. No wonder all of the great philosophers said “Know thyself.” Until we admit that we don’t know ourselves, we will continue to be ignorant and anxious, screening out 99% of reality and claiming to be realists!

The scripture says that God does not behold iniquity. God does not see evil. We made up evil. It does not exist. Evil is an ego tale that runs society. All of our social institutions are built upon the ego model of reality. From top to bottom, society is a belief in victimization. God is not in any such belief system. God does not see evil, although all of the religions are fighting evil. Religions are as susceptible to the belief in evil as society in general. God is not in religion if evil is. We do not know God. How could we know God and be anxious? How could we know God and wage war? How could we know God and endorse suffering? How could we know the One Power and engage in daily power struggles? Impossible.

We are all on the same page. We do not know Self or God. We are ignorant and arrogant. We do not believe in Universal Free Energy. We think that we can control the universe, and yet we cannot even control our own minds for five minutes. Our minds are out of control because we do not know God. We all have ADD and Bi-polar. We have schizophrenic mindsets. We are not whole, but pretend to be.

We do not believe in the One Power. We believe in good and evil. How schizophrenic can our model get? We are dualists, polarizers, enemy-makers. Universal Free energy will never be allowed on this planet until we see through our “many powers” story. Why, if we had universal free energy, we would be trying to hoard it and kill each other with it. We would be arguing over who it belongs to and who has the right to control it. Holy smoke!
