Soul of the EveryMan - Reason and God
The Causal Universe,
and our ability to use Reason to discover its fundamental truths, reveals the Presence of Source, the Primary Mover.

Soul of the EveryMan - Negative Self-Talk
Negative Self-Talk
Voices in your head, self-talk that sounds so reasonable and convincing, it's almost impossible to ignore.
The internal voice sounds like you, and it wants to convince you that it's always right, lulling you into hypnotic compliance with its incessant, and sometimes self-destructive, monologue.
Awakening from this spell requires an act of will.
Seek the true I - beneath the chatter.

Soul of the EveryMan - Quantum Conciousness
Quantum Consciousness:
Objective Consciousness via Orchestrated Objective Reduction [Orch OR] cannot be defined.
In a fundamental way is outside of all rules and means of understanding.
Sir Rodger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff theorize that consciousness arises from a quantum phenomenon.
New discoveries support their theory.

Soul of the EveryMan - the Power of NOW - NOW
NOW
This simple three letter word encompasses every moment of your life, every moment of all existence, yet -- it is impossible to codify in thought.
NOW is being - pure existence - the true IAM.

Soul of the EveryMan - Electromagnetic Brain Fog
Our brains are electro-magnetic-organic structures, deeply influenced by their energetic environment.
Quantum theory has shown that Consciousness is beyond the physical, transduced, rather than produced by this organ.
The Brain is our interface, not our origin.
Electromagnetism, EMF, magnetism, and even solar storms, affect consciousness.
Just as waves in water change sunlight as it passes through, refracting and reflecting physical reality.

Soul of the EveryMan - EGO and DARKNESS

Soul of the EveryMan - FATE
Fate:
As Thoreau famously said, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation."
Buddhists call it Samsara, the endless wheel of Karma.
The source of this desperation is the Unobserved Unconscious, the feeling of being trapped in the Pain Body.
The Light of Consciousness brings awareness to this spinning darkness,

Soul of the EveryMan - Authenticity
How do we know when we are being Authentic?

Soul of the EveryMan - You are NOT a Problem
Problems:
We all have them, and in the worst case they seem to come from within.
The EGO loves identifying problems, and its toxic voice can be internalized, finding fault in all that we do.
All of this falls within the "Dilemma of Me. . ." The ego-persona which wishes to exist in our thinking mind.
This is our only true problem.

Soul of the EveryMan - Love and Death are UNCONDITIONAL
Unconditional. . .
Love is a word in the same way that Death is a word.
We see a symbol, move our breath, utter a sound, and, we think we know it.
We no more understand Love than we do Death.
Both are beyond us, and both are Unconditional. . .
