This is one of Andrew’s BEST pieces of thought and work… as he shares a few time-tested observations that help explain the “world.” This understanding can help a person immensely to have a “Better Experience of Life” or a “Better State of Mind!” These ideas help a person be “Well Armored for this World” and remain relatively cool and more eloquent as you watch people panic, argue, fight, worry, and rush around, trying to survive or prove their moral superiority!

 

Here are the main ideas:

 

  • We Live in a World of Infinite Color & Variety
  • There is No Center of the Universe, except You!
  • Scale of Consciousness – We are Surrounded by Higher and Lower Consciousness
  • Life is Experience through the MIND
    • There are Biochemical Explanations behind this Idea
    • The #1 Determinant of health comes from the Mind or our Default Thinking
    • A Smart Boy or Girl will Cultivate a More Positive View of the World!
  • Your Body and Life are largely Plastic
  • Life is Pulsation/Vibration - Life is Halves – A “Both-ness” Mind
  • The Foundational Energy of the Universe is that of Excitement & Entertainment.
  • Everyone and Thing is Trying to Do Its Best

 

As one goes about his or her day, one will perhaps find how these ideas apply! Where you go, “Of course!”

Speaker 1 (00:12):
What are you willing to throw your life away on? With
Andrew Reed and The Liberation.It's a serious question, one
worth pondering. Am I living thelife I want, an intelligent
life, or something else? How canI have a better experience of
life?
These are some of the questionsexplored in this series of

(00:34):
messages without the brag andthe advertisement, getting
beyond even human institutionsand society into the wilderness,
nature, the reality of how lifeactually operates on this
planet. These messages rangefrom intimate recordings from
the awakened forest to concerts,national conferences, and

(00:56):
broadcasts on a wide array ofphilosophical topics.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Here we are in the Awakened Forest overlooking the
world from this particularvantage point, all the
intricacies of nature and life.I'd like to share some ideas
that perhaps will help explainthe world. This is a message

(01:27):
that's a long time coming. In myopinion, there's no shortcuts
here. This takes time, age,experience, especially the
losses and heartaches, whichagain, it takes no special
talent to appreciate the sweet,the warm sunshine, the smile,
the good, the light.
Integrating these negativeaspects, or I should say

(01:50):
perceived negative things intolife, of course, are just the
other half of life and areessential. With that said, I try
to give all belief systems afair shake because usually they
all have their merits. And thesebelief systems, and we all have
them, help us in countless waysfrom grounding us in our ideas

(02:13):
about society, civilization, sothat we don't run around like
wild beasts or savages, that wehave some degree of politeness
and respect and courtesy forothers, that somehow tame our
animal instincts or impulses asyou might say. So, yes, our

(02:36):
belief systems help us. But inthinking things through, which
we should try to do that witheverything, observing life as we
sit in nature here in the coolof a nice summer morning.
The teacher of truth, in myview, is what? Nature. And I

(02:59):
repeatedly say that. But theseideas that I'm going to share
here have helped me a greatdeal. And I picked these up
again along the way, but theyhelp me understand and thus my
interpretations of the world, ofmy actions, of my place in the
world, especially painful ones,I find myself a bit more poised,

(03:24):
a little bit more calm, and Ican have a relatively unfazed
life.
And so there's a practical pointhere that your life will have
less frustration, that you'll bemore content, more confident,
more accepting of life as ittranspires. So here they are.

(03:48):
First of all, we live in a worldof infinite color and variety.
And in fact, you know, there'sno two things that are
completely alike. There's no twosnowflakes that are alike.
There's no two particles of dustthat are alike. All things are
different. Thus, it's a world ofmulti view. Right? So infinite

(04:11):
variety and color.
In fact, so much that almost anycreature that one could imagine
already exists in some form. Ifyou watch enough nature shows
and they go into the microscopicespecially, you find all these
crazy wild creatures that youcouldn't even dream up. So we
live in a world of infinitecolor and variety. The next

(04:34):
point, there is no center exceptyou. That there's no center of
the universe, And then there'sthis idea of infinite, which is
beyond our ability or even ourmachinery to understand.
And to many, this is a quiteunsettling notion that we're

(04:56):
living on this floating planetthat's perhaps not really going
anywhere. And I think that'swhere the misstep of conception
comes into play. And the pointis, we are going somewhere. But
it's just like kind of the Zenpart of life. It's not about the

(05:18):
destination, it's about thejourney, it's about the process
of life, and that life ismovement.
And I think that's the importantthing, is to enjoy the ride. So,
not only is life infinite, lifeis happening on millions of

(05:38):
levels at every moment,simultaneously. And of course,
this introduces this huge degreeof humility because no one can
truthfully claim that theyunderstand anything fully,
again, because everything isinfinite. Infinite is in the DNA
of the world. So thisacknowledgement of humility, of

(06:00):
course, opens up a person fornew learning and new
explorations.
The third idea I'd like to shareis the scale of consciousness.
And this is kind of an arbitraryscale made up as all measurement

(06:21):
is made up when you get down toit. I mean, for temperature,
you've got Celsius, you've gotFahrenheit, you've got metric,
you've got standard. Okay. Someasurements are made up anyway,
but the point is no twocreatures or anything are
identical, and thus no thingshave consciousness.

(06:42):
They don't have the sameabilities, the same
intelligence, the same beliefs.And thus, you have human beings,
social creatures, that enjoyparticipating group enterprises
together, so we have thisinteraction going on all the
time. Yet, since no two peoplehave exactly the same view, the

(07:06):
person in the next pew, ifyou're a churchgoer, does not
completely share your views orinterpretation of the world. Or
if you're in some other group orsociety, whatever it is, no two
have identical vantage points.All have slightly different
interpretations and views.

(07:27):
Now the implication of thisscale of consciousness, and
doctor David Hawkins developedit using kinesiology and it's
quite brilliant. Even if youdon't believe it, so to speak,
you find that referencing thisscale has utility value and is
useful because you start togauge higher and lower

(07:50):
consciousness. So forced by thedesign of nature, we all
experience the worlddifferently. Yes. We see it from
our physical place as well asour mental or intellectual
vantage point.
So since no two people orcreatures will see eye to eye in
everything, again, we have tohave this degree of acceptance,

(08:13):
this degree of tolerance.Otherwise, we're going to be
frustrated forever. Like, whycan't they see it the way I see
it? And if we accept this, youknow, we're actually trusting in
nature, we're trusting in theprocess of life, and it makes
life better because you'realways going to have your own
unique thoughts, your owninterpretation and ideas about

(08:36):
the world. And in fact, you'rethe only one that's going to
understand yourself or your ownthoughts.
And that's okay. You're neverfully gonna be understood by
others because you're alwaysdealing with what? Higher and
lower consciousness, or I shouldsay dissimilar. Whether you're

(08:57):
on the highways, some are slowdrivers, some are fast drivers
in business, you got some guysthat are scoundrels, you got
honest apes, and then familyinteractions, obviously. Your
sister that's kicking you underthe table has a different
consciousness than you do.
And again, just to accept that.And this scale of consciousness,

(09:20):
of course, it helps us whenwe're dealing or interacting
with others, that realizing thatlower consciousness will never,
at least at that time, seehigher consciousness. Higher
consciousness can more easilylook down and understand things,

(09:40):
thus less frustrated, know howto deal with it, can make plans
and such. Lower consciousnessonly catches a glimpse
occasionally of higherconsciousness. But to them,
lying, cheating, littering,things like that, well, everyone
does it, right?

(10:02):
So they have this selfjustification of their
behaviors. But most of us wouldsay, Well that's kind of lower
behavior, and that is just thepoint. And if you want to
estimate what percentage of thepopulation has lower or higher,
wherever you want to demark thatline, again probably eighty

(10:23):
percent has lower consciousnessand twenty percent, of course,
somewhat higher consciousness.So when we hear on the news of a
tragic incident where someperson is harmed or dealt a bad
hand, we know we're dealing withlow consciousness. A person who
steals or lies, again, a personof low consciousness, and again,

(10:50):
whatever their behavior is seemsokay or is justified in their
mind.
Everyone steals and lies, right?Whereas higher consciousness is
aware and considers allexpressions of life and will
exhibit what I'll call goodnesswhen no one is looking. I mean,
for example, when the blackbeetle turns over, even if

(11:12):
they're late to the meeting,they'll bend over and just flip
the guy over and say, hey. Havea great day. Or if they're in
the airport and they see thatthere's some trash, they'll pick
it up because they realize thatwould save the janitor a little
bit of effort.
Or if you're walking in theoffice and you see trash, you
pick it because you're arepresentative of that

(11:34):
organization. So those areillustrations of higher
consciousness activities. Andhigher consciousness sees others
and things as they are. Again,there's this degree of
acceptance. Knowing that theyare doing their best, even a
lower consciousness is doing itsbest at that time.

(11:57):
They just don't know any betteror haven't worked that out. And
in some way, this level ofconsciousness, realizing that
it's a multiverse, that theworld works, and that all these
consciousnesses are integratedinto this world of mutual

(12:20):
alliance, and somehow we needthe cheats, the thieves, the
liars, the lazy, the stupid, aswell as the counterbalancing
saints, entrepreneurs, builders,healers, the brilliant, the kind
and compassionate. All aresomehow needed, otherwise they

(12:43):
would not exist. And I knowsometimes I struggle with this
idea after I hear of somehorrific event or where someone
is harmed and say, What is thepoint behind this? But somehow,
I believe there's intelligencein the design of life and that

(13:04):
life can be trusted, and thatthis infinite variety of
consciousness is part of theexcitement, the entertainment,
and the experience of life.
The next idea I'd like to shareis that life is experienced
through the mind, and this ishuge. This is life changing if

(13:26):
you can get your mind around it.Because we don't fully
understand the mind. We don'tknow what it is or what it
encompasses, but we know itplays a major role in our
experience of life just becausehow we interpret life, our
interactions with the externalenvironment, do we judge it as

(13:47):
good or bad, mediocre, or somedegree there within? But human
beings are thinking creatures.
Thinking is what human beingsdo. On our way to work, we're
working out our lives, we'resorting through things. We can't
help ourselves but think. And sothese ideas of mind control,

(14:08):
thought control, well, don'teven know where our thoughts
come from often. So we can'thelp ourselves from thinking.
We have this incredible,insatiable impulse to understand
things. We are a curious andinquisitive species and we want
to make sense of the world,which is really why this

(14:29):
particular message has greatvalue. It helps explain the
world to some degree or gives uspossibilities of how it could be
interpreted. So the logic hereis if I interpret the world as
more beneficial or positive, thebetter experience of life I'll
have. Whereas if you have theattitude towards life and take a

(14:53):
hostile position, or a negativeattitude about the world, well,
the more negative yourexperience of life.
And it's almost as simple asthat. So with this understanding
that the mind is a huge part ofour experience of life, we

(15:13):
should understand that ourthoughts trigger different
biochemical reactions. That is,positive thoughts cause
chemicals, endorphins and such,to be released, which make us
happy, energized and all that,whereas sad, negative thoughts
don't do this, that releaseactually other chemicals and
suppress endorphins. So ourthoughts even dictate our

(15:38):
chemistry to a large degree. Andwe also know that perhaps the
number one determinant of healthcomes from the mind, or our
default thinking.
That is worry, stress, anxiety,prolonged, pronounced fear,
causes lifespans to beshortened. Thus, you have

(15:59):
cancers, other diseases,depression, inactivity. But the
point is, worries come largelyfrom the mind as perhaps as much
as 90% of our fears are neverrealized, but yet we act like
they are. This dictates, ofcourse, our experience of life.

(16:22):
Is it better to go positivelythrough life, feeling like
things will work out, that it'snot there to eat me up or get
me, or have fear of life thateverything is going to turn out
bad eventually, and you livethis this very truncated life.

(16:42):
We also know that this idea ofthe mind being the number one
determinant of health works inthe case of study of medicines
that are being developed andsuch. And the placebo effect
comes into play because normallythirty percent of people are
cured or positively impacted bythe placebo, And that's a common

(17:06):
reoccurring thing. Thus, thatsays, what did the cure? The
belief that it would work. Sowhether you're believing in a
medicine, in a therapy, or in ahealer even, of course you're
going to get a positive resultbecause it's impacting your

(17:28):
mind.
The main point here is that asmart boy or girl that gets this
idea that our experience of lifeis dictated by our ideas, our
interpretation of the world,that they will cultivate a more
positive view, right, and thushave a better experience of
life. Now, those that know mystory know that probably from

(17:54):
the outside world, I have had atragic life, a bad life,
catastrophic losses of wealth,limbs, children, all kinds of
things. I've also had greataccomplishments too. But these
losses, these catastrophic baddeals, tragic things that have

(18:17):
happened, I don't look at themas being bad. Yes, I've cried in
my beer.
There's a time for somedepression. There's probably
some time for some harddrinking. Time to integrate. But
over time, these things becomepart of me and help me be what I

(18:41):
am now. And so there's someuseful element in all these
losses.
And over time, this stuffbecomes integrated in us and
helps us become the people thatwe become, that we wouldn't get
there without that struggle,without that tragedy, and the
overall momentum of that life isupward. The other thing about

(19:06):
the mind and understanding isthat your body and your life are
largely plastic. That is,they're malleable. They are
shaped really around your ideasand people that start thinking
different start to lookdifferent. Their body shapes
around those ideas.

(19:28):
And it's just fascinating how aperson's self image, which is
again contained in the mind,will start to shape their
behaviors certainly, but alsotheir physical presence. I'm not
saying that if you think you'regoing to be eight foot tall and
play in the NBA, that's going tohappen. There are some limits to

(19:51):
this, but we can shape ourbodies to a large extent. In
fact, just the idea ofattractiveness, so much of it is
contained in the mind. I mean,look at time of what people
thought was attractive comparedto now.

(20:11):
I mean, in the sixties, it wasTwiggy. Well, back in, you know,
the sixteen hundreds, plump wasin. And so we can just see how
our ideas of what is attractivechange over time, and again,
these are held in the mind. Nowstudies from many academic

(20:32):
institutions and researchorganizations indicate or give
hint that we grow and develop ashuman beings in approximately a
fiftyfifty manner, with 50%being nature, the other 50%
being nurture or the externalenvironment that we live in.
And, of course, 50% coming fromourselves, from our personal

(20:55):
will, the other 50% upbringing,genetics, all kinds of things.
And you can say, Oh, it's only50%. Ah, 50% is huge. That we're
not just stuck in whateverposition we find ourselves as we
enter this world, that we have arole to play. And of course

(21:16):
there's countless stories ofpeople that have evolved
fantastic lives by changingtheir attitudes, by making
intelligent choices, and thusit's not all Newtonian billiard
balls cause and effect that thishappened, and then this
happened, and then thishappened, this happened, because
at that point, there's noaccountability, nobody owns

(21:38):
their life. Now the other thingabout exploration of the mind,
and this idea is going to help alot of people, is that there may
be a completely biologicalexplanation to so many of the
conflicts in humankind becausewe have two hemispheres of the

(22:00):
brain.
One, the right hemisphere, whichis largely fluid, spatial in its
operations. This is where artand creativity come from. And
the other left hemisphere of thebrain is the part that operates
in a very concrete andsequential way. This is the
logical mind. It sees budgets.

(22:21):
It sees time. It sees cause andeffect more clearly than the
right. And some people are justmore dominated by one hemisphere
of the brain than the other. Sopeople that tend to be, I'll
say, more liberal or artistic,yeah, of course, they're gonna

(22:42):
be right brain dominated. Andpeople that tend to be more
conservative, more practical,yes, those people are going to
be left brain dominant.
And the thing is, this ischemical. This is biological.
Now with this said, we have tointroduce the fiftyfifty
equation, the nature versusnurture into this. So, yes,

(23:05):
people come into this world witha biological predisposition
towards one hemisphere of thebrain or the other, although
some people are in the middle.I'm probably one of those middle
people or somewhere aroundthere, at least from time to
time.
But then we have to factor intothe equation upbringing, the
environment, the personal will,and so that gets messy again.

(23:28):
And this helps out greatlybecause some people have the
ideas they could kill offeverybody in the opposing party,
utterly defeat them, but theywould grow back like weeds over
time. Why? This is biochemical.And, of course, you do want to
create the conditions to favorthe most positive society you

(23:51):
can, of course.
But people are always going tohave these different views.
Again, the left brain person,much more practical about
things. The right brain person,much more emotion driven, less
sequential, more prone to breakwith tradition or social norms.

(24:12):
Again, the left brain person,more apt to go along with the
program. So how does this ideahelp us?
Well, perhaps our differencesand conflicts with each other
are more biologically based thanwe give them credit. I mean, we
can't understand why anotherperson can't see our point of
view, and with this said, wehave conflict. But again, it

(24:36):
might be very much a biologicalexplanation or due to genetics.
And, of course, then we have tobring in the fiftyfifty equation
of nature versus nurture. So,though we come into this world,
again, probably predisposed toone hemisphere of the brain or
the other, and then we have toadd in, again, the environment,

(24:57):
so it gets pretty messy.
The next point that I'd like toshare is that life is pulsation,
that is life is halves. And we'dwant to cultivate what I'll call
a bothness mind because life iswhat? It is oscillation. It is
oscillation of up and down andthere's this duality or various

(25:20):
degrees of difference. Yetthere's this both thing, kind of
similar to the hemispheres ofthe brain as well as the
introduction of this fiftyfiftyequation of nature versus the
environment, that philosophicaldebate.
But we know that life itself isvibration. It is pulsation. It

(25:43):
is up and down. There are nostraight lines. There are no
zeros, And there's alwayssomething.
But this bothness mindset helpsa person become better armored
for this life and able totolerate and integrate,
especially the loss experiencesbecause the frustrated people
want, again, all sweet, all sun,all good, all the time, not

(26:07):
realizing that nature's not likethat at all. And that we have to
have the counterbalance of thenegative to summon our powers,
to bring forth growth and allthese things and that we just
assign labels to things as good,bad, mediocre, or whatever, just
like we assign value. So thisbothness mind see, people get

(26:31):
frustrated because they areseeking singular explanations
about things when that is neverthe case. There are always multi
explanations or at least abothness that both this and that
may be correct. So people, theydig themselves holes making

(26:54):
strong statements of certaintyonly to be humiliated later on
when the guy in the back says,Well, what about this?
And it's like, Oh, I hadn'treally considered that. The
point is both can be right. Andyou can look at almost anything
with this bothness mindset andit will help. For example, you

(27:19):
know, the sun is good, but thenit's like, well, but too much
sun is bad. So, there's thenegative, better head for the
shade.
Or that it's good to work. Andso, we get ourselves as busy
bees going about our days,trying to be as productive as we
can be. But Dennis, no. Then weneed rest. Too much work, bad.

(27:44):
But you'll find this bothnessexplanation to be of great
benefit. Another idea that hashelped me a great deal is the
idea that all things are aliveor have some consciousness. As
we said, all things oscillate,they pulsate, they vibrate. To

(28:06):
me, this indicates that there'slife there. Okay.
What does this idea do for us?Well, it helps us have a certain
reverence towards life, arespect for life. We don't find
ourselves littering. We don'tfind ourselves causing damage
unnecessarily to things. When wewalk through the woods, we know

(28:30):
that we're not alone, that we'rein the company of other living
things, trees, other animals.
Again, even the rocks have someconsciousness, I suspect. That
all things are alive, even manmade things, the plastic bottle,
the radio, the computer. Theseobjects, I feel on some level

(28:52):
can feel my love for them or myrespect. And they respond. Now
it may not be a consciousness oran intelligence that we
understand, but I suspect thatthese things are alive and they
are somehow recognizing me as Irecognize them.
We know that when we give loveand attention to something, it

(29:14):
tends to get better. Right? Itimproves. And our feeling
towards those objects changes,of course, over time. But we
certainly live a moreintelligent life and feel like
everything is value, everythinghas its place in the world, And
somehow that's just part of thedesign and accept that.

(29:37):
And as I get towards the end ofthis, I'm gonna share perhaps
the most controversial idea thatI'm presenting or sharing here.
That's the idea thatentertainment is the
foundational energy of theuniverse. And this is kind of an
all encapsulating idea and it'ssupported by most of the ideas

(29:58):
that I've referenced previouslyin this message. And it's
something that appeared in mylife rather late. But as I try
to make sense of the world, tryto reconcile it, try to
integrate it, especially thehardships and losses, But when
you start to look at everything,you see that what human beings

(30:20):
are running from is boredom.
We want the new, we want themore, we want excitement. The
worst thing we could think of ishaving the same meal every
single day, all sun, all thetime, where we never have the

(30:40):
storm, we never have the rain orwinds blowing. Human beings want
change. They want this movement.We want to feel like we're
progressing.
And within that, well, that's abig aspect of happiness, the

(31:00):
feeling of progress. So ifeverything's the same, there is
no striving, There is noexploration of the unknown, both
in your inner world of what yourcapabilities are, as well as
what you can achieve out in theworld. I mean, there's no

(31:23):
growth, and thus excitement insome way can be linked up to all
of life. I mean, even if you'reon the plank captured by the
pirates and you're looking downthe water and the sharks are
circling. And then, of course,you're pushed into it and he
goes, wow, it really does hurtto have my leg bent off.

(31:46):
But then it's over and we go towhere we go after we depart this
plane. There's an excitement inthat. Or I look at some of the
close calls I've had in life,from being chased by bears, to
having pirates literally afteryou or all kinds of things or
the thrill of business. There'sjust something about human

(32:12):
beings that we're just not quitecontent. And it's almost a godly
discontentment that causes us tokeep reaching, to keep growing,
to continually want to make ourlives better.
Why? We like the new. And justlike I say, the great thing is

(32:35):
to be on the journey in whateverplace you're in. So again, if
you're in the desert andstriving for that oasis, and
then you get to that oasis andyou're sitting under in the
coconut tree drinking your MaiTai and Bloody Marys and
everything. And then after awhile, it's boring.
And it's like, I hear there's abetter oasis. And you start on

(33:01):
your journey again. But we'revery happy in doing this. I
mean, let's take a look at artsand entertainment. We go to
movies, we watch shows, andnobody wants to see all happy
from this victory to thisvictory.
I mean, all smooth sailing. No.We wanna see the drama. We wanna
see the near misses. Wesometimes wanna see people get

(33:24):
gobbled up.
We go to NASCAR. You get aglimpse of a good wreck a lot of
times, not so different thangladiators, as I alluded to
earlier in Roman times. We go tofootball games. We want to see
the action. We are drawn to thisexcitement.
Again, the new, the different,the exploration, the more, the

(33:51):
achievement, and the greatcontrast of the victory, but
then also the lowness of whenyou're defeated. All that's
highly interesting to humanbeings. And thus, the idea that
entertainment and excitement isthe foundational energy of the

(34:12):
universe is really a prettyprized idea. I mean, you look up
at the stars and they'retwinkling for us. We're on this
planet that's not goinganywhere, that's just floating
in space.
And the question comes, what'sit all about? Well, it's about
you and your evolution.Experiencing the world as a

(34:35):
center in a universe without acenter, and somehow this is the
design. Again, no two peoplehave the same views. You have
your own thoughts and in someways, you're the only one that's
gonna understand you, and that'sokay.

(34:58):
Now the last point I'd like toshare is that everyone and
everything, really, is trying todo its best. People are doing
the best job at life that theyknow how to do. They're living
the best life they know becauseif they knew how to do better,
they would be. This goes back tothe mind. The mind is an

(35:19):
efficiency seeking machine.
It is always seeking out benefitor the best way of doing things,
and it's seeking some type offulfillment. So this idea that
everyone and everything istrying to do its best, the meeb
is trying to do its best job,the tree is trying to do its
best job, the rocks trying to doits best job laying there even

(35:42):
though we don't understand thatconsciousness. And one of the
benefits of this is, again, webecome more accepting of other
people. The fact that there aresilly and stupid people are just
part of it, and that sometimeswe are the stooges, we are the
fools, so often. And the words,forgive them for they know not

(36:04):
what they do, to me is soundwisdom, is sound counsel,
because this indicates thatperhaps we're all innocent, and
that the greatest unavoidablevice that we have is perhaps
ignorance.
We only have five senses tointerpret the world. We are a
limited being. But through ourwill, we can increase this

(36:29):
wisdom and knowledge. And soperhaps humility is in order
here. And of course, humility isthe beginning of knowledge
because if you think you havethe whole enchilada, that you
know it all, there's no room foranything new, which is what?
Excitement. So there we have it,a few ideas that perhaps help

(36:53):
explain the world.
