I am surrounded by angels

I am surrounded by angels but I am the only one who knows it.

I am sat in a cafe. People come and go. A man stands at the counter and orders a 'straight black'. He wanders around after placing his order, checking the posters on the wall and the 'Blackstar' coffee beans for sale. He's an angel but he doesn't know it.

Behind me sits two women. They've been chatting since I got here and hour ago. They're on their third cup of coffee as far as I know. Could be more. They're angels but they don't know it. Only I do.

An angel on the phone drives by in a SUV. Absorbed in the conversation but asleep to the fact that reality is not what it seems. Asleep at the wheel? Asleep throughout life. 

Do I have a problem with that? No, not at all. They're engrossed in the eternal play and enjoying it. Well some of it, I'm not sure how much.

Two angels enter through the front door from out the back. They think they're ladies but I know they are light beings, eternal and immortal. They look like they're having fun and that's lovely. But will it last? No, this is an ever changing world and nothing lasts. That's only a problem if you think you are mortal. In that case you are trapped and it will end in tears.

The safe way is to remain detached, a guest who owns nothing. That way you stay free, light and safe. That's what everyone wants isn't it? Enjoy the entertaining, complex drama, filled with interesting, exciting events ever changing. 

Eternal life is behind the veil of death

Only death reveals the eternal nature of the self and when it arrives the relief is palatable. Then all the suffering and sorrow of the departing life is placed alongside the peace, bliss and happiness of the bodiless soul and becomes insignificant in comparison.

We are light beings you and I but our bodies and our senses draw the veil ever tightly over our inner knowing and prevent realisation emerging.

Our home is not this world of constant noise and increasing suffering but the dimension of light that only death reveals.

I am a visitor here, a guest. Nothing belongs to me, I am free. If we can maintain this perspective whilst alive, whilst in this corporeal world, live becomes easy, I remain happy and can be of great benefit to others as I share my easiness, my contentment and my wisdom. 

This is a drama and we are actors

My spiritual practise involves me convincing myself that I am an actor in a 5000 year long play. I work at this day and night. Why? 

Several years ago (31 to be precise) I 'stumbled' across some knowledge which changed my life. The essence of this knowledge is; we are spiritual beings experiencing this world through a physical body, what we think is reality is actually a predestined play which repeats identically every 5000 years; God is also a spiritual being and we are similar to that One in our nature and form. Life-changing, right?

Fast forward to the present. Due to the subjective experiences I have had and the transformation in my life I have developed a faith in this knowledge and have decided to put my money on the fact that it is true. Developing a strong belief makes life so much easier as far as I am concerned and I think that's true generally. Hence, I practise regularly changing my perception of the world around me, striving to maintain the perspective of an actor in a drama. The aim of this practise is to remain involved yet detached from the events, circumstances and people around me whom I share the world with. Doing this keeps me stable, happy and peaceful even whilst being totally engaged with the scenes of the drama.

So I am an actor and you are an actor too. The character I am 'playing' at the moment, Phillihp Gough, is fictional in regards 'he' is not me. I believe in reincarnation, so before this life I was playing another part. Could have been male, could have been female. I am non-physical, androgynous and able to easily play the part of either gender. Very entertaining. 

When we forget our true identity we end up becoming supported by matter in this physical world and that includes the very body I am in. This causes me sorrow eventually. 

So, I've decided to keep going with 'brainwashing' myself because the benefits appear to be huge. I'm no longer trapped by the actions of others. I am free to be me.
