This week, I am writing about time.
With a friend's assistance, we finished most of the front garden.
It is good that this was done, as I did not feel well on Sunday,
and until Wednesday, I was too ill to do anything.
On Friday, I decided to see a doctor.
The GP was not available, so I went to a walk-in clinic.
I entered at 09.30 hrs and came out around 13.00 hrs.
Three to four hours of waiting is, apparently, regular.
The verdict was that they would send me home and sleep it off if I were young and fit.
However, with my medical background, they gave me antibiotics.
There was nothing wrong with me besides what they classed as a viral infection.
One worry less, as I had to attend a masonic installation meeting.
During the ceremony, I was elected as assistant secretary.
Next week in my motherlodge I got to the Senior Warden chair,
one step away from the master chair, which will be for next year.
The more I study masonic rituals,
the more I realise that these contain a lot of mystic knowledge.
When we rise to the awareness level of the soul, time disappears.
The knowledge is available, but it is another issue whether it is fully understood.
The dimension of time is a fabrication of the mind.
To reach this awareness and fully comprehend it can take years.
Most people never come to this conclusion; it is too complex.
Not to worry, at some stage, we will learn,
if not in this life, then during the next cycle.
When I discuss some of the ways this life operates,
a lot of people do not comprehend the difference between the mind and the brain.
How can we understand the dimension of time,
and its influence on what we call our world,
if we do not yet comprehend that the mind and the brain are very different entities.
The brain operates solely at the material awareness level.
The mind receives and interprets information from the brain.
When the mind adds the dimension of time,
we arrive at the comprehension of our beautiful world.
When time disappears, our world collapses.
All other dimensions disappear,
and we arrive at the point many masters teach us about.
In this sentence, we use words like arriving and point.
Both words are related to time and should not be used.
However, the concept should be clear.
As long as the mind exists, all that goes with the mind exists.
When the mind disappears as an influence,
Nothing of what we consider to be real remains.
Our familiar world will be gone.
What is left is feelings.

This week, I am writing about progress.
Working in the garden was my goal this week.
Getting up early, working, and in the evening to the lodge.
The front of the house is nearly completed, and now we can start in the back garden!
April is nearly finished, and May will be busy.
A lot of masonic activities stop after May,
we call this period the recess.
Thus, we will do our utmost to see each other in May.
Of course, some activities go on, like a few parties,
but more days are free overall.
I ordered 30 copies of my book about neurodivergency,
as this book goes quickly.
Quite a few people ask me for a copy,
By now, I must have handed out around 100 copies.
I discussed about this last week.
Somebody asked why I do not sell my books.
It is possible to buy my books from Amazon,
but I tend to give them away.
The objective of my writing is to help people.
If I sell books, I run a business.
That means that I do not follow my objective.
Possibly, I now offend those who do need to earn a living from writing,
but that is not the idea.
I have a goal and an objective.
Others may think and act differently,
which is their prerogative.
We are all unique; we do not have to copy others.
I also started to work more with sound,
and I learnt another trick.
The wand allows me to find a point in space,
which has healing power for certain types of issues,
when stared at for a few minutes.
And so we keep on learning.
Sound addresses issues with the energy fields around our bodies,
just like most Chinese medical treatment does.
Western science has not yet studied the energy fields
to find discrepancies that point to illness.
However, some scientists look at such possibilities.
At some stage, mainstream science will consider the option.
I see many more suggestions that this world is not real; it is more like a hologram.
As mainstream science makes such comments,
we now go towards spiritual thinking.
Progress may be slow, but it does happen.
Which was another discussion I got into this week.
When anything progresses, it tends to go also in reverse.
When this happens, people vent their opinion that the world is going backwards.
After studying for a more extended period, we noted that there has been steady progress,
but there are setbacks.
Life works in this way.

This week, I am writing about comparing and judging.
Finally, I can work in the garden!
Today, I worked more than three hours
and am entirely gone, tired, and ready to go to bed.
Maybe I should realise that I have to cut down on working hours at my age.
Anyhow, I should be fine tomorrow, and then the real work starts.
Digging, hoeing, pruning.
It was very satisfying to sit outside after work and look at my achievements.
When we attempt to do any activity,
It is essential to realise that such work must be within the window of our capabilities.
Looking back and pondering what we used to be capable of is not helping.
Also, looking at what others do is not correct.
In our view, such people may do more,
but they may not be happy with their achievements.
We are all unique, and therefore, our activities are unique.
When we learn this lesson, we can progress on the path of life.
Looking back is for learning, not to compare.
We should live in the present, not in the past.
I analysed the subject of living in the present before.
The way others explained the subject
is, to me, not clear and not achievable.
However, why not live for the moment and not look back?
It is so simple, and it avoids the stress related to comparing.
Comparing with others and judging others are similar.
We cannot judge without comparing; when we compare, we follow with judgment.
As seekers, we must avoid these habits.
Although it is easy to make this statement,
it is challenging to implement.
Our society and the language we speak are based on judging.
In everything we do, we compare and judge by looking at others.
As a consequence, we always live in the past.
How can we change such habits?
My suggestion is to try constantly.
Eventually, it becomes a habit not to judge.
Of course, it will take time, and we are not perfect.
We will often find that we judge.
So what? We start again, and we do not look back.
Life is about learning.
Perfect people do not learn; they do not have to.
Be aware that perfect does not exist in our world.
However special something appears to be,
there is always a negative attached.
Let us try not to judge and compare.
We leave being perfect or better to others!

This week, I am writing about the One.
My PSA, a sign that I may have prostate cancer, is going down.
I often mentioned to my oncologist that any infection causes it to go up,
and finally, he tends to consider this a truthful statement.
I do not feel bad or lose weight; thus, I am not concerned.
The spot on my head likely caused the issue.
The spot has disappeared; thus, there is no more infection.
The scan and the additional blood tests did not show any issues either.
On the masonic front, we will get near the installation date in early May.
I will become Senior Warden; therefore,
there is only a year before I become master of the lodge.
I also found that when Anne likes to visit people and leave me for a few days,
I book a daily lodge visit, which is much easier than cooking.
Three-course meal for 10 to 12 pounds!
We are also coming near the lodge recess, thus fewer visits and more parties.
Many of these parties are to attract new people to the craft.
This means we must speak to those who attend and make them feel welcome.
Very easy to do!
We also got a lot done for charity this year.
What most people do not realise is that the Masons are a charity organisation,
and, in the UK, the largest charity when considering donations.
The national lottery may donate more, but it is not a charity.
Anyhow, to those who contracted cancer or any other lousy disease,
I found that to accept the situation, and, at the same time, to fight the issue,
is an excellent way to stay positive.
Giving up is the best way to lose the fight for survival.
Life at the material level of consciousness is all about fighting for survival.
Even at the physical levels of consciousness, such a fight is ongoing.
As long as we know that life has an end, we will fight.
When I get asked why we have this tendency to fight,
I tend to refer to the mind.
The mind is a made-up entity, and it will not survive.
In the process of this fight, the mind will motivate the body to assist.
The spiritual philosophy teaches us that we have three bodies:
ØThe material body.
ØThe Astral body.
ØThe Causal body.
The reality is that we have one body with three aspects.
The material body is the flesh and bones.
The Astral body represents the sensing part.
The Causal body is the mind.
Past these aspects, we find the levels of the soul.
The mind created the dimension of time,
Thus, when we explore past the mind, time is no more.
A straight statement from the third degree of masonry.
The simplification of the workings of the body tends to show steps.
There are no steps; it all flows from one to the other.
When we explore “no time”,
we enter a domain we cannot comprehend.
Those who did this refer to the wirling cave.
When we go through this phase, we encounter black or brown, which moves.
The colour is not relevant; the mind interprets the experience as such.
The reality is that we have only feelings left.
We do experience an awareness.
This is a reflection of the mind, which still has some influence.
When we let go of the mind, the ego will disappear.
Like the river becomes the sea,
we will be the One.
