Clear-mindedness - mountain image (thumbnail)

There is a fundamental and overridingly important reason why I have dispensed with the whole concept of 'spirituality' and am talking of clear-mindedness instead - and it doesn't in the slightest mean that I've turned materialist! When you've read what I have to say on this subject you may well feel a bit shocked and/or disbelieving, but nonetheless you will find yourself facing a serious challenge to ditch 'spirituality' yourself in favour of the real way forward.

Poor little teddy bear, who in late 2007 a schoolteacher
 in Khartoum called M-- (as good a name as any), can't
 understand why people don't just drop their religion stuff
 and get on with true self realization and developing
 real clarity of being and consequently living very loving
 and happy lives...

The Guide to Complete Self Realization

True self realization not only doesn't require ongoing guidance by a guru but actually requires ongoing guidance by yourself with no guru. Also, contrary to widespread belief, it doesn't require formal meditation and works better without it. I show the easy way you can start today and get moving fast towards full self realization - turning your life around as you most likely never thought possible.

Recommended Reading
and Website Links pages

I have removed these two pages, for I came to realize that all the listed reading matter and nearly all the listed websites contained dark force sourced distortions, which are leading people more into the clutches of the dark force, which cultivates delusion, ego-power and control. On this site I point to means of self healing and self realization which progressively clear us of  interference and influences from such sources.

Why 'self realization'?

Self realization - not psychiatry!

Self realization is the primary and most fundamental subject of this website, but, unusually and for a most important reason, it is here fully linked to grounded clear-mindedness instead of airy-fairy notions of 'higher realities' or freaky 'higher' perceptions. Self realization is indeed THE most fundamental life task* of EVERYBODY, and everybody has a potential and natural desire and motivation for it, though this is almost always to varying extents covered up or occluded and distorted. It is not imposed upon us by any external agent (such as 'God') but is implicit and intrinsic in the fact of our coming into incarnated (physical) life. As I have explained in Exit 'Spirituality' - Enter Clear-Mindedness, not only religions but ALL so-called spiritual paths have in their different ways, and in some cases very subtly, diverted people away from this true life task of theirs of self realization (in addition to more individual-specific life purposes).

* This actually needs qualifying. I'm distinguishing here between a life purpose and a life task. The most fundamental life purpose of everybody is simply, to experience - and to do so in as much variety and abundance as is reasonably workable to do so, but without recourse to persistent and major pain, suffering or negativity of the sort that the dark force (what people usually refer to in the plural, as the 'dark forces') is causing for us.

This site's additional focus, then, on clearing ourselves of the interferences of the dark force - and indeed on actually seeking to dissolve the dark force itself - follows on naturally from the focus on self realization - so that we live lives that are not only abundant in experience but are also more consistently happy and positive than they can be at the present time.

Indeed, once the dark force has been fully dissolved, as I'm sure it will be, in new civilizations without leftover problems from the dark force the whole concept of 'self realization' in the high-powered sense that I mean here would no longer be particularly meaningful. People would have a birth trauma and probably the odd other relatively minor traumas or stresses to clear early in their lives, but they would naturally become enlightened early in their lives, and what I am calling self realization methods would be used only by some people, in a more relaxed way, for some degree of enhancement of the life experience, but without any cause to go striving for phenomenally high levels of self realization (i.e. far beyond mere enlightenment), which are actually counter-productive for maximum vividness and abundance of experience (our fundamental life purpose - remember?).

It is because of this lack and indeed avoidance of true self realization, resulting from interference from the dark force, that we have hugely overpopulated this planet and look to be on the verge of reaping unthinkable consequences of this (see The Future of Humanity).

So, what, then, is self realization? Is it doing a bit of Yoga or Tai Chi and perhaps some manifestation practices (e.g. to get rich quickly or to get an 'ideal' partner or your dream mobile phone) to make your life supposedly better? Or is it going off to meditate in a cave or monastery for the rest of your years?

No, it isn't either of those, and is much more fundamental and all-including - but it does make your life MUCH better, including almost always in all sorts of ways you'd never considered as possibilities for yourself. True and full self realization is based on the understanding that our underlying and true nature and identity is none other than the all-pervading fundamental consciousness (or universal consciousness) itself - which is 'the Ultimate' as far as anyone can tell. It transcends all concepts of 'God', 'Spirit', supposed higher beings or supposed higher levels of reality, and so is the 'highest' reality that we can ever know of. It is not something separate from yourself that you can worship, because it is you and everything. The moment you are into even the slightest trace of worshipping, you are way off-course for self realization.

When you become 'enlightened' (I would prefer to say, when you gain fundamental clarity) you perceive directly this fundamental consciousness as being your true nature and identity. However, that is only a particular, albeit fundamental and crucial, stage in your self realization process. Self realization is the process of making fully manifest in physical form your true nature as fundamental consciousness itself - so that you become a full, undistorted manifestation of your true nature, whose basis is vibrant awareness, love, fully responsible free choice, positivity, creativity, and the tremendous egoless individual power that naturally flows from these.

Through the self realization process you do NOT lose your identity. Rather, you lose all your limiting false identities, all your 'masks' and pretences, and discover your true identity as a micro-aspect or micro-facet of fundamental consciousness itself. You thus become truly FREE. Few people know what real freedom is, because it is so difficult to describe meaningfully - but you come to experience more and more of it as you continue your self realization process.

You do not find the ultimate happiness by seeking happiness, and certainly not through seeking pleasure. Instead you discover it through your self realization process.

This site, therefore, is about the true means to come into enduring and deeply meaningful happiness and freedom, which remains unsullied regardless of what life may appear to be throwing at you. In order to achieve that it is necessary to clear out all obstructions and negative influences that you are carrying - including ALL beliefs and held opinions, never mind how deeply seated or ingrained.

As hard personal experience has shown me, the overriding proportion of such obstructions and negative influences is a result of interference from the the dark force, which cultivates unawareness / delusion, ego power, control, fear and negativity.

For this reason, on this site I give much information about how the dark force is interfering with ALL people, and I include accounts of my own often severe personal experiences with the dark force (what people often call astral or dark entities), and how we can securely, safely and indeed joyfully clear ourselves of its interferences and become truly free and self realized, living abundant and vibrantly happy lives.

To this end, on this site I introduce and describe or at least point to methods to clear out old emotional issues and traumas, rigid patterns of outlook, and all manner of habitual physical distortions and other misuses of the body. You can find out effective ways of letting go of addictions and of actually resolving or healing so-called mental illness and 'personality disorders' - particularly as I show clearly from my own insights based on experiences of my own, what the real causes of these are and the ways in which the medical and mental healthcare services fail us almost completely over such issues (see, for example, My Little Brush With Psychiatry and Night Hells (Night Terrors) and Hearing Voices).

I also show how religion and 'spirituality' as normally understood cannot properly resolve the latter issues, and how self realization is the one overall way forward.

I even go further and describe a real life experiment in seeing if it's possible to actually eliminate the dark force altogether. Wouldn't that be great for everyone!

"It's really cool to be normal..."

Portrait of a normal person

Why are you banging your head against that wall?

Sorry, I don't have time to stop and think about such things. I'm too busy banging my head against this wall. -- Oh, please do me a favour and pass the Paracetamol... -- And while you're about it, please bring the television round here so that I can watch it while I'm banging my head on this wall. You do need some entertainment to make life bearable, you know...
(later) ...So, you're still banging your head against that wall, then!
Do you really mean that I shouldn't do what I enjoy? People should be free to do what they enjoy! That's what we're here for - to enjoy ourselves!

Portrait of a self realized, healthily functioning person

Why aren't you banging your head against that wall?

Oh, that! I tried it a long time ago, and it hurt and was most incredibly boring. Just look at my freedom and clarity and ease of being and all the happiness and abundance in my life now because I don't keep doing that silly thing and getting stuck in pointless ruts!

Well, in that case, at least you can take some Haloperidol to help cure you of your condition.

- Er, you're telling me that H- (expletive censored) is a self realization aid and brings happiness and abundance and positivity to one's life?

...And more use of your television would also help cure you...

What television? Where? My life is so full of wonderful things, why would I need one of those? ...Okay, if I ever have cause to get a big hole made in my head I'll consider getting a television at the same time...

(later) ...I see you're still not banging your head against that wall! Don't you ever let your hair down and enjoy yourself? You really should, you know. It's unnatural and not normal if you don't just let go and enjoy yourself a bit. ...You're nuts!

Laughing out loud! Then best not to eat me if you're sensitive to them!

Are you really so sure you want to be 'normal'?
