Know Thyself - The Best HBCU - Know Thy Self Show, Part 3

The Best HBCU - Know Thy Self Show, Pt 3, Ser 0, Epi 1

Having your life run in perfect balance sounds too good to be true so of course there has to be a catch to it and there is. Bringing your life into alignment with the universe -- your true purpose -- hurts. For me, the most difficult part was discovering that many of the things I thought were true turned out to be wrong. Through dreams, meditation, oracle readings, astrology, coincidences, having new awareness of things I'd seen for years, etc. I learned that much of my thinking was backward and self-destructive. Always, always, always I had to decide if I was going to ignore a newly perceived truth or try to implement the understanding, thus, correcting my behavior.

Why would I put myself through self-imposed torture? For peace. The promise of peace was too much to pass up. What is funny is being at the beginning of a meditation cycle getting ready to address a problem like reacting with paralyzing anxiety in certain situations, feeling scared just to hope that the problem could be solved and then at the end of the first 11 days, looking back over my notes and saying to myself, "I was afraid of that?" The problem would seem so huge at the beginning of a cycle and so small at the end. The Level of personal and spiritual growth that I have received has been phenomenal.

In this video, I discuss Ra Un Nefer Amen's Tree of Life Meditation System, based upon his book the Metu Neter. The Tree of Life Meditation System (TOLM) teaches you how to program your spirit to change your behavior so that you fall into the alignment of the Universe and your life runs in perfect balance. I discuss how you take one problem in your life that you would like to correct and look at it using the system. By examining your problem for one moon cycle, looking at it 11 different ways, you discover insights that offer solutions. Then you encode those solutions into your spirit so that the solution manifests itself. The beauty of the system is that this process helps to correct other problems you may have been unaware of or it shows you insights where you need to make further adjustments. Through consistent use of the system, you will begin to see your life falling into alignment.

I hope that you enjoy this video.
Peace

Know Thyself - The Best HBCU Show - Pt 2

The Best HBCU Show - Pt 2, Ser 0, Epi 1

Yesterday, I introduced my show, The Best HBCU -- Know Thy Self Show. This show chronicles my experiences as I practice the Tree of Life Meditation System as instructed by Ra Un Nefer Amen. This particular episode examines the day during the meditation cycle in which I focus on the deity Sebek, who, simply put, represents the energies of Divine Intelligence. This part of the show is a very brief explanation of the Metu Neter, concerning submitting your ego to your Divine Will. It explains how you are God, but that most likely, your ego, not God, is running your life and that you can change that so that God will run your life in perfect balance and peace. Finally, this video explains that the Metu Neter is designed to teach you how to resurrect God inside of you so that you can have that balance and peace in your life.

All of this may sound very complicated and to some degree, it can be, but only because thinking of yourself as Divine is very new to some people and sacrilegious to others. I have no interest in debating religion. I am more interested in discussing Divinity. In order to see yourself as Divine, you must love yourself. I'm not talking about just looking in the mirror and saying, "I love you." I mean you have to walk your talk and do that in peace, without judgment. You have to forgive yourself and learn to stop beating yourself over the head. You have to know that you are unique and learn to appreciate that, without seeing flaws -- just things that need strengthening and improving.

Here's the big one. You have to love all of your experiences without resentment. WOW!!!!! Learning this lesson hurts because it as to be taught to you over and over again. The Metu Neter teaches you the science of how to understand why things happen to you. What it boils down to is that everything happens to you so that you can reclaim your peace.

Does it feel like I just poured a glass of ice-cold water in your face and then turned around and slapped you? That was what I felt like when I realized that I had to accept the truth of this statement. I could do this because the statement was not made in isolation. The science of the Metu Neter rebuilds you from the ground up by putting everything in a hierarchy (levels) of existence. You do not have to accept this statement until you are ready. There is no force. You build your understanding from desire with the knowledge that the end result will be a life of peace, happiness, love, order, and prosperity.

It's awesome.

Know Thyself -- The Best HBCU -- Know Thy Self Show, Part 1

Quite a few of my posts feature information about the Metu Neter, by Ra Un Nefer Amen. I've been studying the book for about two years now and it has literally changed my life. This year, I began to practice the Tree of Life Meditation System consecutively...You know how some Christians have to Testify? Well...instead, I came up with a show, the Best HBCU -- Know Thy Self Show.

I've decided that I needed to share a lot of the insights that I've been having. There are, I presume, a lot of people who are studying the Metu Neter who may have gone through or who may be going through experiences similar to mine -- studying without a physical teacher or sage. If my videos can help others, then I will be in alignment with my purpose.

The Metu Neter can be a very difficult book to understand. Sometimes, I know I've made correct interpretations, but there are other times when I am not quite sure and all efforts to find the answers elude me. This is another reason for the videos, to seek out help from others who understand the parts that I do not.

Please feel free to comment.

This video is the first part of the Best HBCU -- Know Thy Self Show. In it I open the show, explaining why I produced it, pour libations, and invoke the deities.

This show revolves around the Tree of Life Meditation System (TOLM). What you will experience by watching the show in its entirety will be insights that I have received concerning the deity, Sebek. If you have no clue of what I'm talking about, I give an explanation in the videos. I also explain what the TOLM is and how it works. The reason this video is about Sebek is because Sebek was the deity upon which I was to focus for that day. Other videos will focus on insights and other aspects of the system.

Please watch the video and enjoy it.
Thanks

Know Thyself -- Thoughts, Loops, and String Theory

Sonia Barrett- Defining the Matrix

In this video, Sonia Barrett speaks briefly about getting caught up in a loop that we perceive to be reality. In my studies of Ra Un Nefer Amen's Tree of Life Meditation System, I had an insight about thought processes and how they work to sustain our emotions. Our thoughts loop. By this I mean that we think of and produce images of ideas, concepts, events, etc. that feed our emotions.

For example, someone really annoys you. You think of all of the reasons they annoy you. Maybe you don't like their brand of politics or their views on religion. When you see that person, you start to play "tapes" in your head of conversations you've had. This increases you annoyance. These tapes run in your mind at odd moments. Your annoyance increases even more. These tapes are loops that run over and over in your mind.

Now, let's take this looping concept to a quantum level with the express understanding that I am musing. I'm no expert -- just kicking some thoughts around. In quantum physics, there is something called string material that is shaped like loops. The best that can be said about these loops are that they appear to be thoughts.

Going further -- there is this Star Trek: The Next Generation episode called "Cause and Effect" in which the Enterprise gets caught in a time loop where they keep repeating the same events without realizing it. They have no idea that they are outside of time so time is just passing them by and they are unaware of it.
This could be an exaggerated example of what happens to us when we repeat the same images and beliefs over and over again in our mind.

In the example above, and I know you've had such experiences, when you are deep in your contemplation of how annoyed you are, do you lose time? Do you come out of your reverie only to discover that five minutes or so have passed you by on something that has no relevance to what you were trying to do?

What if that reverie could be put to more creative use? Those repeating or looping images and beliefs cause us to take action. This is what makes advertising so powerful. You see a pizza commercial that you've seen over and over again and what do you desire for dinner, later, just out of the blue? Pizza. Instead of recalling a pizza commercial, what if that time were spent on creating a painting or writing a book?

The Metu NeterTheory by Ra Un Nefer Amen teaches you how to interrupt your dis-serving repetitious thought patterns and change them so that you develop your Self knowledge to experience yourself as a creator. Not bad, is it?
