Just Sharing My Work & Thoughts...

[This post is from my personal blog Sunday Is For Lovers. I tried to post the complete work here including all six videos, but for some reason it didn't work. I wasn't able to insert all of the videos. For the full story with complete videos, please click on link to continue reading. :) Thanks.]

Over the last 6 months I have had various people ask me about David Icke. They want to know if I have heard of him & what I think of him. I personally really like what he stands for, although his message is nothing new. His main message is: life as we know it is an illusion. This I already learned from studying Vedanta (more specifically Advaita Vedanta) 13 years ago. There are also other authors & lecturers that had a similar message to Icke (Or is it the other way around?) over 60+ years ago. Great minds like Aldous Huxley, & Eric Fromm, as well as many others have made the same points. (Interesting though that Aldous Huxley & Eric Fromm studied Vedanta as well.)

The three main points I've seen David Icke present are;
1) Wake up to your illusion. You are not the body. Your life is a superimposition.
2) Acknowledge that we are living in a Orwellian state. And it is your responsibility to take your power back & be responsible for creating your life.
3) Realize that you are unlimited consciousness. Begin to choose freedom for yourself. In order to do this you must come from a place of oneness & love.

I can truly say that I am thankful for David Icke. He brings a clear message to many people. (The reptilian part of his message can get a bit blurry, but I'll stick to the overall message. I encourage people to not focus on what sounds "out there" to them verses taking responsibility for the other 90+ percent of what he says.) David Icke's overall message is timeless. - Because it has been. Today is no different from 60 years ago or 600 years ago in many respects. People are suffering now & they were suffering then, all unnecessarily.

In this blog post I will list a few quotes, & present videos from David Icke, Aldous Huxley, & Eric Fromm. As well as share a little information on Advaita Vedanta... [To continue reading please click here.]

Comment by magicreative on February 22, 2011 at 6:23am: I am an ardent student of Vedanta myself - I just thought I'd pass on my latest " aha " -

I understood this from a very good translation of Shankara - who is like - the greatest scholar of all on this.

The world and its phenomena is NOT an illusion - it is relatively real - and the phenomena of relativity happen in and come forth from - the absolutely real. The absolutely real and the relatively real are not separate - they are ONE - ONE WITHOUT A SECOND.

The practical benefits that one receives from pondering this truth are - that generally - it elevates ones status in life from small and individual, to cosmically huge, important, and universal. Then ones thoughts become more powerful and more mistake free -

One starts to understand the poetry of Blake when he says " to see the world in a grain of sand / and heaven in a wild flower / to hold infinity in the palm of your hand / and eternity in an hour . . .

In short - you become ( or know yourself to already be ) a cosmically powerful being capable of moving the universe -

But truthfully - these gurus who say that - the world, and life, are just an "illusion" - this negates experiential life and is NOT correct. Perhaps if the word "drama" were used instead of "illusion" - that might be a better translation. No - our experiences are relatively real - and our existence is absolutely real - and there is a unity of connection that can be very useful.
