The Fall Inside

Zen-Haven  September 13 2013

People say there’s a thin line between love and hate, good and evil, right and wrong. There may be a thin line… we could call it the everyday decision point. If we look at it that way, the line helps us lay out the coordinates of an inner guidance system for self empowerment.

Let’s begin with a story recalled from memory. It’s the story of the afterlife of a pious Tibetan monk. When the monk made his transition, his brothers carefully followed the spiritual tradition and chanted for 21 days, using crystal balls, and communicating with their brother in order to help his soul stay near the monastery and on the spiritual path.

At one point during this process, the monks became unsettled… they saw that their brother couldn’t proceed. He was caught under a rock and was asking for help. They asked him why he was under the rock, and he answered that he didn’t know. They encouraged him to figure it out, otherwise, that would be his purgatory.

He did look into the reason he was under the rock, and came back with a particular memory. He remembered being in the kitchen one morning and seeing a cockroach. He put his foot on it. In his spiritual practice, taking any life is forbidden. The monk had disobeyed on that morning, and he never came to terms with it. There it remained. In order to continue on his journey, the monk had to face and work through the unresolved wrong.

That little story tells a lot about our perception of our own wrongdoings.
Who knows better about wrongdoing: we… our higher selves, accessed within, or the social conditioning systems human beings have structured to tell us what is wrong and right… those networks of control we call the matrix.

We are very much used to the concept of ‘falling from Grace’ from the outside – God in other words. But since we don’t subscribe to judgment by the SkyGods, we must recognize that it’s more of an internal affair.

If we fall from our own Grace, the results can be devastating. Sickness kicks in, on every scale imaginable. We simply ‘get sick inside’ – of ourselves… and that will spread like a blizzard through the immune system. Not degraded by disobeying God, the matrix, but by the convenience of choosing solutions where we simply know better.

‘I knew I shouldn’t have done that’, and so on…

Don’t get us wrong here. We are not talking about the right to make mistakes, we are not talking of learning by doing – we are merely stating the fact of: when we evolve within ourselves, our hearts, our wisdom and we don’t listen to our own evolution, since quite frankly, evolution can be very inconvenient, we take the fall.

We might, as mentioned, want to put that into an external God context, but that’s a matrix mechanic reminiscent of an outside judge still, so no: we target the God-force inside. The silent observer. The soul.

The dark and gloomy side of wrongdoing holds our gridlock and the key to our inner freedom. If we look at how we degrade ourselves and lower our resonance, then we can also look at how we refuse to fall inside, how we resonate more closely with the higher self, and come to terms with our past actions.

When we hear the thought, “I won’t go there anymore” change to “I can’t do that to myself” it will be accompanied by a feeling – that’s the soul’s default setting… the return to self.

Our decisions are made in the moment: “Am I comfortable with this… do I have to… they say it’s required.” We’ll call these decisions agreements, each one small, like a little pearl. How does it feel… this little decision I am making? Asking how it feels is a good place to start with regard to our internal guidance system.

We are manipulated to think we don’t have inner wisdom, and the outside source has it… but that is not true. Our feeling – the resonance inside – holds our wisdom and our knowledge at a deeper level.

Let’s also make a distinction between morals and ethics; morals being those directions given to us by systems within the matrix, and ethics being the directions that are coded within us – the connection with our higher self… our inner divinity.

The external directives of the matrix are everywhere – in every culture, every religion, every government, every corporation, every business, every family. It is a universal grid.
For a taste of the external matrix dynamic we can look at the egoistic, bloody, jealous God ( Ego ) of the Old Testament meeting up with the higher perspective of ‘Self’.

We have already grown past looking for Ego solutions, and that’s a good reason to be proud, but we gotta stick to the soul-utions if we want this heart-based movement we’re involved in to prevail. Staying Power.

Today we are taking on the evolutionary task again – learning by doing, doing by ethics, and mixing whatever we can find in all the ethical and philosophical teachings we can find with the information coming from metaphysicians traveling in celestial dimensions. Sorting as we go… asking our inner compass… how does it feel?

Now we can look more closely at how the external directives work against us: there are likely millions who wish they could obey their own compassion and disobey a workplace policy or procedure that is cold-hearted and repugnant to them. But to keep the job, or advance themselves, they may make a very small agreement to compromise ethics. People make these types of agreements every day – one pearl after another on the string.

In the beginning, when we take the fall inside we know. But after some time, business as usual will begin to muffle the sound of the inside voice, justifications will be believed, and the compassionate heart will become a few degrees colder. So many exist within compromising positions… could be the police officer, the military man, the woman who signs off on evictions, the laborer spraying the roundup.
