Global One TV: A Blog for Mystics - by Eric Allen Bell

Inward Revolution Creates Outward Revolution


Up until fairly recently, I went through most of my life thinking about what I thought the world owed me and what I could get from it. Then a transformation began, one which is very much still playing out - evolving, and I experienced something of a shift in perspective.

Without giving it much thought, my natural inclination has been to consider what I owe the world and what I can give it - as it has given me everything and always does. I have noticed that I don't have much time to entertain anxiety or depression while in that state. I think about what my twenties and thirties would have been like had I known then what I know now, and I laugh. All of the confusion and soul searching and wild reckless foolishness of that time has brought me here - and I wouldn't change a thing.

Playing hide and go seek with itself has its value, until the day that it loses its value. And so much suffering falls away as one no longer sees a value in that suffering anymore. The recognition, not just as an intellectual concept but to really see that I am the world - and you are the world - this changes absolutely everything.

The part is not separate from the whole, so whatever challenges I may be faced with are never too much in the broader scheme of things. Nearly every problem I have ever experienced has existed only within the scope of my perception - I could not find my problems anywhere else but there.

Inside of all things there is a STILLNESS that animates everything. I am That. You are That. We are That. And That is all that is. Peace ॐ

I am so glad that I have found this site.  I had a transformation and what I saw at first really scared me.  I looked to in depth at all the terrible things that were happening around us and forgot to focus on only the good.  It is taking me time, but I realise that there was always good, there was always a presence, a getter force that we are all part of.  And maybe this is all are testing ground, or a rememberance of are true selves.  And as you were saying about thinking that the world owed you, I kinda felt the same, I understand now that I just want to find ways of giving back.  Its so good to hear honest learning processes.  When I did realise that we were all so much more, at first I felt terribly stupid that I had done this to myself or that I hadnt awakened sooner, but it doesnt matter, it really doesnt, its so freeing.  Your an inspiration, when I get back on the merrygoround its good to just read something like this and all the other members post and I'm free again Peace

What is Spirtuality? 13 Replies

What would you consider spirituality? Is it a sense of self, or perhaps its a sense of our surroundings? I have no opinion in this, I would just like to hear your answers of what you consider to be spirituality.Continue

Your Own Personal Jesus 74 Replies

Anything a person says about the true intentions of Jesus are pure speculation. He never wrote anything down. NONE of us have any idea what he actually said, what he meant. You can make Jesus into absolutely ANYTHING you want to believe him to be. But that does not make it true. More people have died in his name than any other.…Continue

Wishful Thinking: A Cheap Alternative to Inquiry 37 Replies

The newer popular alternatives to religion, that come in the form of new age spirituality such as "The Secret" are just as loony as the promise of heaven for the believer, and a lake of hellfire for the nonbeliever. This ever so intoxicating form of delusion is simply more escapism - a new belief system to impose upon reality, in order to avoid true, honest and courageous self inquiry.In this form of wishful thinking the egoic mind is "meant" to have whatever it visualizes and this gets…Continue

The Head, the Heart and What it Means to See 16 Replies

If a book guides you, my feeling is that such a book would not be as reliable a guide as love. Best to follow the heart, even foolishly at times, if one is to be a real human being. My heart tells me that the world is in a desperate state of crisis right now. I feel driven to stand up and do my part to try to lead where I can, and to reduce suffering where I can, and to never lose sight of the reality that it's not really me who is doing any of it. The human experience is but a fraction of who…Continue

The Jewel of Enlightenment 9 Replies

The Jewel of Enlightenment is hidden in the lotus. Sure. But it's also hidden in the BMW website and in the faces of all the starving children. The Jewel of Enlightenment is hidden at WalMart and in the heart of your worst enemy. The Jewel of Enlightenment is hidden in every star and in every subatomic particle. The Jewel of Enlightenment is hidden in plain sight. The Jewel of Enlightenment is You.…Continue
