The Fall Inside
Ida Lawrence and Soren Dreier
People say there’s a thin line between love and hate, good
and evil, right and wrong. There may be a thin line… we could call it the
everyday decision point. If we look at it that way, the line helps us lay out
the coordinates of an inner guidance system for self empowerment.
Let’s begin with a story recalled from memory. It’s the
story of the afterlife of a pious Tibetan monk. When the monk made his
transition, his brothers carefully followed the spiritual tradition and chanted
for 21 days, using crystal balls, and communicating with their brother in order
to help his soul stay near the monastery and on the spiritual path.
At one point during this process, the monks became
unsettled… they saw that their brother couldn’t proceed. He was caught under a
rock and was asking for help. They asked him why he was under the rock, and he
answered that he didn’t know. They encouraged him to figure it out, otherwise,
that would be his purgatory.
He did look into the reason he was under the rock, and came
back with a particular memory. He remembered being in the kitchen one morning
and seeing a cockroach. He put his foot on it. In his spiritual practice,
taking any life is forbidden. The monk had disobeyed on that morning, and he
never came to terms with it. There it remained. In order to continue on his
journey, the monk had to face and work through the unresolved wrong.
That little story tells a lot about our perception of our
own wrongdoings. Who knows better about wrongdoing: we… our higher selves,
accessed within, or the social conditioning systems human beings have
structured to tell us what is wrong and right… those networks of control we
call the matrix.
We are very much used to the concept of ‘falling from Grace’
from the outside – God in other words. But since we don’t subscribe to judgment
by the SkyGods, we must recognize that it’s more of an internal affair.
If we fall from our own Grace, the results can be
devastating. Sickness kicks in, on every scale imaginable. We simply ‘get sick
inside’ – of ourselves… and that will spread like a blizzard through the immune
system. Not degraded by disobeying God, the matrix, but by the convenience of
choosing solutions where we simply know better.
‘I knew I shouldn’t
have done that’, and so on.
Don’t get us wrong here. We are not talking about the right
to make mistakes, we are not talking of learning by doing – we are merely
stating the fact of: when we evolve within ourselves, our hearts, our wisdom,
and we don’t listen to our own evolution, since quite frankly, evolution can be
very inconvenient, we take the fall. We might, as mentioned, want to put that
into an external God context, but that’s a matrix mechanic reminiscent of an
outside judge still, so no: we target the God-force inside. The silent
observer. The soul.
The dark and gloomy side of wrongdoing holds our gridlock
and the key to our inner freedom. If we look at how we degrade ourselves and
lower our resonance, then we can also look at how we refuse to fall inside, how
we resonate more closely with the higher self, and come to terms with our past
actions. When we hear the thought, “I won’t go there anymore” change to “I
can’t do that to myself” it will be accompanied by a feeling – that’s the
soul’s default setting… the return to self.
Our decisions are made in the moment: “Am I comfortable with
this… do I have to… they say it’s required.” We’ll call these decisions
agreements, each one small, like a little pearl. How does it feel… this little
decision I am making? Asking how it feels is a good place to start with regard
to our internal guidance system. We are manipulated to think we don’t have
inner wisdom, and the outside source has it… but that is not true. Our feeling
– the resonance inside – holds our wisdom and our knowledge at a deeper level.
Let’s also make a distinction between morals and ethics;
morals being those directions given to us by systems within the matrix, and
ethics being the directions that are coded within us – the connection with our
higher self… our inner divinity.
The external directives of the matrix are everywhere – in
every culture, every religion, every government, every corporation, every
business, every family. It is a universal grid. For a taste of the external
matrix dynamic we can look at the egoistic, bloody, jealous God (Ego) of the
Old Testament meeting up with the higher perspective of ‘Self’.
We have already grown past looking for Ego solutions, and
that’s a good reason to be proud, but we gotta stick to the soul-utions if we
want this heart-based movement we’re involved in to prevail. Staying Power.
Today we are taking on the evolutionary task again –
learning by doing, doing by ethics, and mixing whatever we can find in all the
ethical and philosophical teachings we can find with the information coming
from metaphysicians traveling in celestial dimensions. Sorting as we go… asking
our inner compass… how does it feel?
Now we can look more closely at how the external directives
work against us: there are likely millions who wish they could obey their own
compassion and disobey a workplace policy or procedure that is cold-hearted and
repugnant to them. But to keep the job, or advance themselves, they may make a
very small agreement to compromise ethics. People make these types of
agreements every day – one pearl after another on the string.
In the beginning, when we take the fall inside we know. But
after some time, business as usual will begin to muffle the sound of the inside
voice, justifications will be believed, and the compassionate heart will become
a few degrees colder. So many exist within compromising positions… could be the
police officer, the military man, the woman who signs off on evictions, the
laborer spraying the roundup.
If they don’t know there is a wrong, there will be no
ethical dilemma. But if they do… and if they make an agreement, they are in
both a sad state and a beautiful state. The sad is that they took a fall; the
beauty is that they can feel the thin line… for it is never too late to decide
not to fall.
We’ve heard it said that what we chose defines us, and it
does. But could there be more… as the fall continues and agreements that are
even more compromising begin to make the heart freeze over, could it activate
DNA of lower states? We speculate on that as we have seen the fall inside go
far, far deeper than simply following a repugnant policy or doing a job for the
matrix.
We see in today’s world, and we have seen throughout
history, human beings discarding their inborn blueprint, becoming deaf to their
inner voice, making mockery of ethics, and even re-writing the morals of the
matrix to accommodate a descent. Basically that is the programming of the
matrix. Womb until tomb, how low can you go? Well… we watch. And as we watch a
display of unimaginable depths we wonder… are these people human? Perhaps not
so much anymore.
Ethics: this is the resonance of our celestial or ethical
compass. In order to return to that inner compass and become familiar with its
knowledge, we must wake up to the world and what the world means, and we must
to go inside and wake up to our true selves. Both of these self-empowering
steps constitute an inner awaking.
This does not mean that we should immediately ignore
external messages of right and wrong and go inside for all coordinates. When we
begin this work, most of what we’ll find on the inside will be the ego’s
opinion mixed with conditioning and programming. Sorting out ‘what is what’ is
part of the process of waking up to what the world means and waking up to our
true selves. We are a feeling… a resonance… and not an opinion of right and
wrong, love and hate, good and evil.
On a social scale, good morals and right and wrong messages
are very much tied to the religious dictates, the economy, and to herd
programming. For that reason it can be very beneficial to accept and learn from
mentors and teachers who are able to help us tune in and adjust our
coordinates.
As we watch layers and layers of lies peel off the false
reality we believed in, we separate from the herd mentality, and we see
consuming for what it is and war for what it is. Eyes wide open, millions of us
are sharing experiences, sharing thoughts – not pushing them or trying to
persuade – just sharing. This realignment to the warm heart, the human soul,
the guide within… is the warrior’s strength. It’s also the matrix’s weakness.
In doing this – confronting the matrix by not confronting it
– we strengthen each other, and encourage each other to no longer make
agreements. Every moment that the inner knowing is listened to over and above
the outer dictates, the inner coordinates become stronger.
Eventually a person with a very good connection to the heart
will have a default setting. It’s important to remember that these settings
will not be one-size-fits-all. There will be differences, and we want to
respect our differences when they are soul-based. For example, the ethical
directive to not destroy life must be extended to include not destroying life
psychologically. Allowing and non-judgment belong in our coordinates.
People have a right to do whatever they feel they need to
do, without harming others. From the vegetarian who wants a hamburger to the sister
who wants a cigarette to the husband who wants a divorce to the neighbor who
wants to keep the uncomfortable job, we are not called to judge or lecture on
what is ethical. Our ethics are our own, and certainly a warm heart can observe
and love without judgment.
If we refuse to take the fall inside when confronted by the
matrix – friends, spouse, whatever – we start to become self empowered: not
saved, not holy, not wanting everybody to see how spiritual we are… just humans
working on warming the heart and standing their ground. Specialness cannot
exist for very long in a warrior, for they come to know their own darkness as
well as their light. So, if you do encounter someone with a celestial
resonance, they’ll likely not know it or care to speak of it.
Finally, ‘self’ is embedded in the blueprint. The self
empowered person has no need to be right, or to be seen as being right. Since
‘self’ does not exclude, and one’s own happiness becomes tied in with the
prosperity of others – happy to be here in life, happy to discover something
new, happy to feel the love of friends, and happy to look at our own string of
pearls… some dark, some light and shades of golden.
It’s the final walk in the matrix from which we can no
longer stray.
Outer guidance system dissolving – inner guidance systems up
and running.
GPS transcended.

strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate
within that spectrum....”
