#specialness

You’re not the reincarnation of some famous historical figure.

You didn’t have a past life in non-existent Atlantis

You’re not a genetically engineered time-traveling super-soldier created to explore space and fight aliens.

You’re not a super-assassin secretly trained by the US government.

You’re not an alien Starseed here to save Earth.

You’re not touched by a bunch of suspiciously white-looking so-called “Ascended Masters” to Awaken Humanity.*

You’re none of those things.  Those things are just bullshit made up or hijacked by grifters to sell to you.  Their goal is to make you feel special by selling you a story that at best has a bare echo of truth, and at worse is made of whole cloth.  The internet has made this somehow worse.

The thing is the grifters, the opportunists, and their legions of followers are trying to sell you that you’re special just like them.  They sell a story of specialness you can all participate in, but not only is it a grift, it’s the same kind of specialness for all.  They’re not only deceiving you (and possibly themselves), but it’s not really specialness.

To make it somehow worse this kind of recycled bullshit and telephone-operator-con-games covers up the real wonders and horrors of reality.  It sells you a blueprint for destiny you can plug your own imagination into while you plug in your credit card number to buy yet another book.  It doesn’t encourage you to open your mind let alone your eyes or Third Eye, it just keeps feeding you more of the same.

You’re not special, not in their way.  What you are is unique because you’re you.  Whatever the gods, powers, destiny, or random chance has for you it’s yours.  You may well have been touched by supernatural forces or great opportunity or just plain luck, but it’s not going to be in any form that comfortably fits into a $199 two-hour online seminar.

And that’s great!  You get to choose how you deal with whatever kind of uniqueness you have.  Maybe you aren’t even that unique so you get even more choice and far less social pressure.

And who wants to be part of some great destiny or plan anyway?  Maybe you have your own ideas, your own life to lead, and you don’t need the pressure.  Take it from a professional Project Manager, a lot of plans fail or go off the rails anyway!

Go be the unique you.  That’s one destiny you can fulfill better than anyone.

JOHN MCINTOSH

“Not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your father [the ONE SELF] knowing it … so don’t be afraid, you are ‘more valuable’ to God [the ONE SELF] than a whole flock of sparrows.”

Inspiring … beautiful – YES of course … but also NO!

The bible and most ancient sacred texts are filled with subtle vignettes of this kind that foster the belief in ‘separation’ and ‘special-ness’. Separation is the root cause of the ‘manifestation of the dream-universe and ALL within it. However, ONE [the ONE SELF] is ‘always’ ONE – indivisible. There ‘are’ no levels within the boundless, borderless ONE … and YOU [the Real YOU] ‘is’ IT.

The Grand Dream most believe is reality, is a vast ocean of separated parts with all the ‘friction’ [chaos, confusion and conflict] that that brings to manifest the limitless dramas it contains.

Truth resides ‘beneath’ this illusion and the friction, while producing an infinity of roller coaster rides between happiness and sorrow, eventually ‘pulls’ one’s attention within where the Peace, Love and Freedom (One-ness) we Are [not have – but ARE] returns to Awareness.
