About the Awareness Scale and Enlightenment

This Awareness scale has been around for a number of years, at least since 1955, maybe longer. It is indeed interesting. Various numbers have been given to it. I suggest here zero to 100. That's mostly just to not copy several others who us either 0 to 10 or 20 to 1000. The words given sort of represent attitudes that people exhibit to the world and that people seem to be stuck in. As one's general mental attitude progresses upward on this chart the easier life becomes for him and the more he seems to enjoy life.

It is not, however, desirable to get stuck at any level on this chart. One should be able to adjust his attitude to fit the situation as necessary. 100 is by no means the top of such a chart, but it will do for now.

The playing of the game requires various attitudes. That does not mean one should get stuck in any one particular attitude, although people often do get stuck. The higher on this scale one progresses the more able he is to range up and down the scale, especially in the attitudes below him.

Normally a person will not see his own level on this scale. Ask him what level he thinks he is and he will invariably point to a level above his real level. He will tend to reach towards higher levels and he will flinch off of lower levels. Thus if you ask him which is the worst attitude he will tend to name the level below him as that is the level that he is flinching away from. This is mainly true only if he does not have a chart in front of him to see the various lower levels.

One seeks to move upward to the next level and flinches away from the lower level. The two levels, the one directly above him, and the one directly below him, are the two levels that are the most real to him. When one really attains any one level, he has complete command over and control of that level. It is unlikely that he will lose the abilities that come with that level.

There is a problem however, there are powerful concerns that seek to prevent souls from progressing upward and thus present lies to guide people astray. This will surprise most people. The levels starting at 50 (love) and above up to Enlightenment (100) are false levels in that each level contains much false data. There is in fact almost no true data on any of these levels that has been recorded in our society in books or other places of information. The data recorded in Secrets From the Ages is the true data for the levels above 50 on the awareness scale.

If you have read this far you have already read most of the data, but there is more below. Enlightenment is practical data, not airy fairy spiritual data that sounds great but really does nothing for you. Enlightenment is a Game just like all other endeavors on Earth. You can progress upward to enlightenment and even graduate to a heaven. If you work at it and love other people enough you can become enlightened and have certainty that you know what it is all about. You will have learned lots of important understanding that is hard to learn without a lot of study. Most of the data you will learn is not subject to logic, it is unlogical spiritual data. There is a lot of stuff to learn and it is important that you have the proper attitude.

When you reach heaven you will find it a great place, but your level of happiness will not change in heaven as you will have the same mind anywhere you go. Happiness comes from within you, not from a place, even if it is heaven. Heaven becomes quite boring after a short stay, and people return to Earth for further games.

All the games are made up, but when you don't know it, it can wind up being a false game. There are many false paths to enlightenment, and of course, if you follow a false path, you will reach a false enlightenment. In many cases it isn't bad. You are there and it seems great. Who can say it wasn't a fun game with lots of Drama. But that doesn't make it a true path to truth as truth is often different than enlightenment. Or at least different than what is touted as enlightenment. If you want to know if you are really on a path to truth, the answer is simple. Does your path really stand up to logic, real logic, not a situation where they tell you logic isn't workable.

Level 45 Logic is probably the most important of all the levels. Once one has really attained this level, he can then use the abilities found there to progress on up the chart to the logical plain of enlightenment plus one more step instead of the false enlightenment. I will talk about the final step later, but what it is consists of the understanding and knowledge that you are God. I refer to real enlightenment as opposed to false enlightenment.

If false enlightenment surprises you, you might take a trip to India to visit some of the Yogis there. If you get there and are invited, you might meet one of them. You will notice how serene they seem. You will notice how wonderful they seem and how wonderful they treat those around them. You will also notice that they live in splendor while their countrymen die of disease and property.

If you should get a chance to talk to one of these enlightened people you will notice the easy way that they look directly into your eyes. You can feel a pleasant energy emanating from them. Maybe the energy comes from their eyes, or from their hands when they shake your hand. They have an amazing presence that makes one want to remain with them. They, however, will not be doing much beyond teaching and looking great. They will not be creating new methods of conquering diseases, or working on new travel technology, or even inventing a better method of teaching children. They will be making their living from some sort of spiritual stuff, which would be ok if it were of any use to the world.

Here is where the logic gets thrown out. Everyone in their vicinity will believe in the wonderful things they are doing, but if you use logic carefully, seldom will you see much benefit from their actions. There are hundreds of men who have improved men's lives. They didn't spout platitudes and wonderful saying, and love everyone with beautiful shining eyes. They simply did their things and made men's lives better. Pasteur, the Write brothers, Ronald Reagan, Thomas Edison, are several. There were thousands more. If you noticed anything about these people it might be a presence of dynamic energy that made you feel that this man will be doing a lot more. You might have gotten the notion that it would not be a good idea to get in this man's way. You might even have noticed an absence of sympathy, but if you looked a little bit deeper you would have also seen understanding.

What about Love? In order to progress up through the false levels of the Awareness Scale above 50 on the scale one must deny himself logic. He must accept the concept fostered by almost every sage or religion on Earth that logic cannot be trusted. When that happens, as it does to the majority of mankind, one can then accept the concepts put forward concerning love and peace and other false levels. This is not to belittle love or peace or the ability to love. Those things are important but they must be understood. Love is not the answer to all of mankind's problems, not even close.

Men must treat one another with kindness, not because he loves them, but because he knows that is right. Love is not needed to teach us what is right. We are God and we know within us what right and wrong is, after all, we made the rules. Love is an emotion. It might be a very nice emotion, but still and emotion and to say that emotions are what tell us to do and how to treat our fellow beings is to say we don't have it in us to do right otherwise. Love is fleeting. It seldom lasts. People then wind up pretending love. As I've said before, millions have been tortured and killed by people who buy the love idea.

If we follow that emotion it will only be time before we are following other emotions. We are God. We don't need some sort of sacred heart to give us good thoughts and feelings. We can simply make that choice. If we go with the sacred heart and love to tell us how to act, soon we will need various other mechanisms to show us how to do other things. Where would it all stop. Soon we would be loaded down with hundreds of emotions or mechanisms. Love is a mechanism created by nature to foster the survival of the species. Nature, of course, being a mechanism created by God to evolve the species into self aware individuals.

Most people believe that they are in love after several sex sessions with a new sex partner. That keeps the two people together to make a family, then mother's love (and Father's love) takes over for taking care of babies. Love is such a great feeling that people want it to last forever, they pretend it is going to last forever, but it doesn't. It's never forever. It lasts for a few years at best. People want to believe it lasts forever. The love that probably lasts the longest is the love of a true friend. Friends love lasts through marriages, wars, prison, and quite often a lifetime. Romantic love seldom lasts more that 10 years, very seldom more than 25 years, and almost never a lifetime. Of course many people mistake an intense emotional sexual attraction for love, but not always. Some people get it right for a few years and even a lifetime, but not many. But loving all of mankind equally is only for a few teachers, and that seldom lasts. Of course, many claim to love everybody, but careful observations of such people usually shows a different thing than total love.

Love that is unconditional, unchanging and permanent that emanates from the heart is more of a fable than anything else. Those who promote such love have created havoc down through the ages. It sounds good to some people who have lost touch with any kind of logic. However, if you do create such love and then rely on it to tell you how to treat people it will eventually destroy you, as it has all such men who have used it. Love don't emanate from the heart. Love is created by the creator directly and without other mechanisms such as a heart. When I say the creator, I mean God. God creates love directly when he wishes.

Of course, if that particular viewpoint (Player) believes that he needs to have some sort of a sacred heart to create his love, then of course he can create a sacred heart that will then make his love for him. But that is a big step down from simply creating it. One feels that he must create love in a round about way, then of course, he must go through the round about way. He has limited himself. Down through time various men have taught that love is the answer to our problems. Jesus was one. Buddha was another. Most of the religions taught love. In every case it was a disaster. Men have been killing and torturing one another every since.

The world isn't getting better. Men killed more men in the 20th century than all the centuries that went before. In every war at least one side believed that they were doing God's will, and 95% of the time both sides believe that. It's time to start teaching that level 45 (Logic) on the awareness scale is necessary. Again, there is nothing wrong with love, but thinking it takes love to control your actions and treat people right is wrong. It puts responsibility on love instead of the person himself and it has proven extremely disasterous for mankind.

Let me quote a paragraph from one of the greater books of our time. "Love takes no position and thus is global, rising above the separation of positionality. It is then possible to be "one with another" as there are no longer any barriers. Love is therefore inclusive and expands the sense of self progressively. Love focuses on the goodness of life in all its expressions and augments that which is positive. It dissolves negativity by recontextualizing it rather than by attacking it." Did you understand that? Well, in my opinion, it was meant to so overwhelm you so that you would buy it without using any logic. It's simply gobble gook.

Do you see? The good things that are mentioned in the above paragraph can be had because we just create them. You do not have to make life or spirituality that complex. It is simple. It isn't necessary that we first create love and then depend upon love to create those good things for us. That's a round about way that might not get us there. It is possible for us to simply create those good things with out depending on love to get them for us. Besides that, the above paragraph is very hard to understand. It's almost impossible to understand and then apply logic to that paragraph. Could it be that the writer is trying to out think us?

Bliss: Some of the descriptions of Bliss are quite nice if you care nothing about practical stuff. For example in the state of Bliss that is near enlightenment or higher, the person cannot even take care of himself. The description of such a state sounds exactly like an extreme overdose of drugs. With an overdose of drugs the same situation appears to exists. The descriptions of those writing about it always indicates something great, that these people have reached a state that they cannot even take care of themselves.

People are so taken with the game of going for enlightenment that they lose all thought of normal thinking or logic. Pardon me, but what's great about not being able to take care of yourself or control your life in any way. If people don't take care of you, which can happen, you wind up laying in your own excrement. There is quite a bit said about enlightenment like "transcendence of ego," "no concern for physical body," infinite peace," "transcends all time," "radiates energy fields," "transmission of energy fields to the consciousness of mankind." But from a practical viewpoint it doesn't seem to be a lot of value to mankind or to oneself. That is of course, unless you want to sit or stand somewhere and just be great. You can impress people with you serenity and peace and, like the Yogis or sages in India take many gifts while your country men live in poverty.

Remember the people who have really made a difference in the world and save lives seldom spout platitudes, talk about love, or accept gifts for spiritual advice. So what is real enlightenment? It is someone who has finally learned that playing the games here on Earth is what he is here for and is the reason for it all. He must know how to win the game with integrity. There's a lot to it, and few know how. It's not the highest level but near the highest. So after you learn the lessons of Secrets From the Ages the final two lessons you must know to be at the "Logical plane of Enlightenment" is (1) simply know with certainty and understand that you are here to "Play the Game" and (2) that you are "God."

A lot more people have reached a false level of enlightenment than have reached the logical level of enlightenment. I say that because there are various different degrees of enlightenment, and levels where people are not ascended are often still considered enlightened. Just because you ascend into one of the heavens doesn't mean that you didn't reach a false level. I consider the level false because those who have arrived at enlightenment and ascended have bought a lot of false data and have incorporated it into their beliefs in order to have reached that level.

All the paths to enlightenment are games and there are a number of them. They are interesting games and very Dramatic. And there isn't anything in this universe that is not a game. Spiritual type men, over the years, have built various heavens and made various rules for arriving at those heavens. None of the heavens can make you happy. Again, happiness comes from within. Truth in this physical practical universe is practical truth. That is not to say that spiritual stuff is not important, it is, but the truth is practical spiritual stuff. The Logical Plane of Enlightenment is also a game, but there are true games and false games. True games follow the truth and false games have a lot of false premises in them. One true game is The Logical Plane of Enlightenment. It is true because the data is true. You are truly here in this plane playing games. To really know that simply makes it more fun. To know you are truly God makes it even more fun. Please continue reading, there is more.
