Behind the Curtain- 4th June, 2023


Instincts come to us in two varieties: those in which we share commonly and are referenced superficially, and instincts which are personal to that of our own ‘knowing’, reference and experience.

The instincts of the first class come within an even larger family of category for which the blueprint of life as it were is readily accessible - that animal, man, species, may incorporate this knowledge to build and replace those parts of themselves as required - minute by minute, breath by breath - aside from their awakened consciousness. It is a reservoir of operating wisdom that is accessible to all.

And this applies throughout the many types of beings.

A persuasive definition of death and dying is when this instinctual referencing is interrupted and the wisdom can no longer be carried out, there becomes a ‘disconnect’ occurring, and nerve by nerve, thought by thought, there follows a letting go.

It is therefore not so much a problem of the materials at hand, but rather whether or not they may be utilised as before, facilitated by the instinctual key of outcome.

The incorruptible saints prove this (and much more of course) that there is never really an issue of death causing dying or the vulnerability to the dissolution of the physical body - it is moreover the connection, the living connection, that is required in order for the body to go on as before, replacing form with the same or similar form.

And so the question is not so much asking how do such saints remain, but rather how it is that we do not?

What of the dissolution of the mind and the body? In materialistic terms one might fight to understand this in order to gain eternal life on earth or even in the thereafter, where it was that they perceived it to be ‘safe’ and immortally so. 

In and of itself it is however missing the necessary parts i.e. the importance of the higher instincts - the second variety mentioned at the beginning of this paper.

The ‘higher’ instincts incorporate the consciousness and ultimately, although separate to both Man and god etc they are interdependent - a living tissue cohabitating the same Grace that becomes life and the drivers of such life also.

What is meant by this is that there is a correlation between divinity and its manifest where the surprises and joys are reciprocal.

A man’s consciousness for example is experienced concurrently in a great many places and shared with beings throughout - right up to the actual instinctual realms of spirit.

Consciousness is palpable and experienced by those beings who live within our spiritual environment, and particularly the very thoughts of men, women and children are keenly felt and perceived weaving a corporeal substance of its own.

Somewhat unique - we cannot walk the Earth and take from it only; there needs be an exchange throughout.

Now it can be specifically to men (as in humankind) that the physical connectivity has for one reason or another deteriorated and the mind or body or organs no longer receive or give out certain virtues, or to their corresponding physical attributes accordingly.

The higher instincts will soon also have difficulty then in being received - not necessarily, but very possibly.

It must be noted too that the physical life does not represent the soul faithfully - for the incapacitated disconnected individuality in the physical world still has their heavenly connections and consciousness even if they cannot follow the threads to get to them in this world.

Little by little the lights go out, the connections are gone, and understandably there are more compelling forces drawing a person heavenward than those keeping them in the physical world.

Individuals within their true nature are wonderful loving beings. Our instincts when realised within us are always confident in the beauty and sustenance of the goodness around us.

We most naturally love God and have the heart of a small child that is accepting, trusting and completely reliant upon those who would feed and carry us.

At present the physical world has many pot holes and dark places. If you can walk (or sit) in nature you can renew connections that have been weakened formerly and almost been lost ... connections to all of the instincts which give you the very keys of life.

Similarly acts of love and charity will involve such a renewal too, for there becomes an exchange of instinctual gifting - although unseen it is inspired and reciprocal and a mystery all of itself.
