“To Forgive The World Is Foolish”: “THE INDIVIDUAL CHOSE WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HIM: FEAR AND ANGER AS CHOSEN TO MAKE ONES SELF FEEL EGO AND PREVENT..”–Ozodi Osuji

New York[RR] Seattle-Washington State–Ozodi Osuji said, that, ‘To Forgive The World’s Foolish”: “THE INDIVIDUAL CHOSE WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HIM: FEAR AND ANGER AS CHOSEN TO MAKE ONES SELF FEEL EGO AND PREVENT..”, Republic Reporters has learned.

“The individual chose whatever happened to him, that include fear, anger as chosen to make ones self feel ego and prevent return to God..”, he said.

In a piece Mr. Osuji, titled:”THE INDIVIDUAL CHOSE WHATEVER HAPPENED TO HIM: FEAR AND ANGER AS CHOSEN TO MAKE ONES SELF FEEL EGO AND PREVENT RETURN TO GOD”, he, remarked:

“As I look back at my life I see that all my fears were self-chosen; I put myself in situations where folks would do irritating things to me so that I feel angry at them. Therefore, it is safe to say that I contrive to place myself where fear and anger would exist in my mind.

“Why do I want to feel fearful and angry (or the other affects such as depression and paranoia…I certainly have sometimes felt depressed or paranoid)?

He added, “It is because in feeling those affects I reinforce my ego. In feeling like a persecuted ego and fighting back I avoid letting go of the ego, a condition for experiencing God (no one comes to God with an ego; you come to God egolessly, as he created you, as his son unified with him not as a separated self-housed in body).

“Apparently, I am not yet ready to return to God and manage to place me where it seems things make me fearful (when I could easily get out of them) and angry so as to feel like I am an ego separated self and thus stay away from God and be in this world.

“Consider my run in with white folk; I could have avoided all those by doing what they consider legal. Long ago I could have obtained PhD in clinical psychology (my first PhD was in something else) and used it to make money instead of feeling angry and fearful.

There are no accidents in the world. The path that I took made me feel like an outsider, from which position I developed my own psychology apart from white folk’s psychologies. That is to say that there was reason why I did what I did; it was not an accident for if I had done what the white system wanted me to do I would have been coopted by them and not have my own theory of human nature.

ON SO-CALLED GHOSTS

When I moved into a new apartment I felt that someone was walking around it at night. I called the building’s manager and told her about the weird sounds. I asked her if someone had died in the apartment. She told me that the fellow living there died two months before I moved in (but had died at Providence hospital, not at home). Somehow my mind began suspecting that the sound I heard was that of a ghost (even though I do not believe in such things…I had the sound investigated and it turned out that it was coming from something in the walls, the winter insulation between the walls and floors apparently emits the sound).

Apparently, a deeper part of my mind had believed in the phantasy that it was ghosts that were walking around my apartment that I had four dreams in which ghosts were pressing me down on my bed. This means that if we accept any idea into our heads, true or false our minds work with them and use them to make our lives what they are for us.

I was the one who was persecuting me, scaring me with stupid thoughts such as the belief that the noises in my apartment are from ghosts. My mind produced my fears; the fears are not objective, certainly not from so-called ghosts, for there are no such things as ghosts.

Even if the sounds are from the ghosts of those who lived here before I moved in, the fact is that ghosts are powerless to do anything to human beings, after all they have no physical dimension and are cowards for if they had power they would have moved on to different worlds and not linger in a world they had left upon death; since they want to live in our dimension so much as to linger in it after their physical death why didn’t they manage to avoid dying; the fact that they died means that they are powerless and could do nothing to people; they cannot kill any one.

Yet the human mind can accept these stupid ideas into it and make one act as if they are true, such as produce the dreams of ghosts attacking one.

THERE ARE NO GHOSTS

There are no such things as ghosts; but if you believe that there are ghosts what you believe would seem real for you. You would have dreams in which ghosts seem to attack you. It is the idea of ghosts in your mind that produce the dream where ghosts seem to attack you and you have nightmares.

Since many persons do not believe in ghosts they would not see ghosts in our shared day reality. If ghosts exist just think that they do not have the power to keep their selves alive on earth and if they cannot do so how could they have power to harm those on earth?

Ghosts do not exist and as such cannot harm one; they are just false ideas in our minds playing tricks in us.

The lesson is that the ideas we accept into our minds, real or not play roles in our dreams, day dreams or night dreams; therefore accept only correct ideas, such as love you and other people and let go of all other ideas you have of you and people and you have smooth dream on earth.

Deep in our minds is fear of ghosts killing us; that is what this ghost experience taught me. There are primitive parts of our minds that resist rational control, for who would have believed that a supreme rationalist like me would succumb to belief that ghosts are bothering me when my rational mind does not believe in ghosts; apparently, an unconscious part of my mind (your mind) believes in the efficacy of ghosts. Deep in what Carl Jung calls our collective unconscious mind are residuals from our evolution; in the past my ancestors believed in ghosts and even though I do not believe in them the belief is still in my collective and individual unconscious mind and produced the four nightmarish dreams I had of ghosts pressing me down on my bed.

It is now time to stop scaring me and making it seem like other people are persecuting me. There are no such things as ghosts and they cannot persecute one; it is one’s mind that produces the silly beliefs in ghosts and one’s mind can stop such nonsensical beliefs and stop using them to intimidate one into fear and not living fully.

By generalization it is one’s mind that produced a world, people that seem to be obstacles in one’s life. It is my mind that thought about obstacles and projected them to people and made them seem to obstruct me.

Consider white racists. I see them preventing black folks and me from achieving our goals. But when I look at racists with my naked eyes they are powerless, fearful clowns and cannot really do anything to black folks. But if black folks believe that those cowards can obstruct them they contrive to have them obstruct them.

The solution is for you to decide on your objective and go for it and no one can obstruct you. But make sure that your goal is realistic; if it is unrealistic, such as trying to change people and make them perfect you will fail. No one can change other people.

People will remain imperfect but despite their imperfection, real leaders use them as they are to achieve their objectives. If your goal is realistic nothing can prevent you from accomplishing it if you go for it one hundred percent, and work at it twenty four seven.

My goal of establishing a new psychology, one that combines secular and spiritual psychologies is realistic, for people have both empirical and unknown pars that we might call spiritual to them and both must be factored in in trying to heal them of their various neuroses and psychoses. The goal is objective and achievable so I go for it; I establish a school to do the study and a monthly magazine to publicize the findings.

I RESPOND TO MY INTERPRETATION OF REALITY NOT REALITY ITSELF, SO WHAT IS REALITY?

I hear a sound and my mind tries to understand where it came from and what it means. I do not know the truth about the sound but my mind conjectures about it. I respond to it as my conjectures led me to believe it is. The same mechanism applies to whatever else I do. I see people. I see them do things. My mind tries to understand who they are and why they do what they do. In truth I do not know who people are and why they do what they do. In the meantime, my mind posits interpretations of who people are and why they do what they do. I respond to people and their behaviors in accordance with my interpretations of who they are and what they did.

I may or may not be correct in my interpretations and behaviors but the salient point is that I am responding to people according to my interpretation of them, my perception of them (I am assuming that other people do what I do?).

If all I am doing is responding to my perception/interpretation of the world and not the real world itself, so what is the real world itself? The short answer is that I do not know.

A course in miracles claims that the real world is remade from our world into a world in light forms. As long as the world is in forms at all it must be transitory, for forms are not permanent; thus, the Holy Spirit reinvented world is as stupid as is our world. Everything in forms are temporary and changeable and so stupid.

The world that is rational must be formless, which Helen Schucman said is the formless world of God. But I have not experienced that world so what is it like? How do I know that the formless world of God exist, for all I know it could be our wishful thinking?

To find out what the world of God is like, I am told to jettison my ego and go into meditation and that I would experience that world.

In the meantime, I see people behaving in a manner that my interpretation tells me is stupid. I am told to overlook what I see and see them through the eyes of the Holy Spirit, see them in light forms, that is, see them with love and forgiveness and overlook the stupid behavior they enact for me to see.

OVERLOOKING OR FORGIVING THE WORLD IS FOOLISH!

Consider: I see crazed ISIS Muslim jihadists beheading folks who did nothing harmful to them and I overlook what they do until they come and behead me, right? If they are not stopped they would come to America and behead Americans and we would have allowed them to kill us, right? This is salvation ala A course in miracles, right?

I say, go after the mother fuckers and kill all of them. This is my ego speaking all right but that is the only way to stop the Muslim jihadist crazies; the solution of A course in miracles leads to a world of slavery for all of us.

Those who ask folks to overlook their world, to forgive things would probably ask us to overlook what Islamic Jihadists, such as ISIS are doing in Iraq and Syria, forming a new Caliphate. If you overlook them they would take over the Middle East and affect oil prices and destroy our Western economy; and, eventually, they would take over the world and impose their primitive region on all the people and kill those who oppose them.

The leaders of ISIS are obviously deluded; they have grandiose desire to change the world and make it good for their nonexistent god.

We have to fight them to retain our freedom and if we refuse to fight them we have accepted our own death and or slavery; therefore, it is a misguided religion to talk about blanket forgiveness and overlooking of evil; as long as people have freedom and can be deluded those intent on evil, such as ISIS and Hitler ought to be killed for the sake of human freedom.

JUDGMENT IS NECESSARY IN THIS WORLD

A strong military is necessary for human freedom. If you do not judge ISIS as evil because you are misguided and do not want to judge then you would wake up a slave; we must engage in judgment and accept love over evil.

WHY JIDADHISTS KILL AMERICAN JOURNALISTS

Jihadists beheaded American journalists. Those journalists seem innocent and shouldn’t be killed. But when you think about it they chose to write about those in power, those oppressing folks, giving them attention; therefore, they are part of the power structure of Western society; they help maintain the establishment by giving it attention. Therefore, jihadists see them as part of the American establishment and kill them. They are part of the establishment alright and what happens to the establishment happens to them.

I am not saying that any one should kill any one; I am merely saying that what we identify with and work for has consequences for us.

THE EFFECT CAUSED THE CAUSE; THE SON OF GOD CAUSED GOD TO EXIST

Let us do some abstract thinking here. The cause caused the effect, right? But consider that without the effect there is no cause thus the effect caused the cause!

God caused his son to exist but without his son God would not exist! The son made the father necessary! Thus, the son of God caused God to exist.

The whole caused the part to exist and the part caused the whole to exist; without the one the other would not exist. The chicken or egg dilemma thus exists at the spiritual level, too.

What is the solution?

The solution to that paradox is that the chicken did not produce the egg and the egg did not produce the children (something unknown to us produced both).

By the same token, God did not cause his son to exist and his son did not cause God to exist; both are the same (hence Hinduism is correct in saying that Brahman and Atman are the same; the whole and the part are the same).

IF IGBOS MADE NIGERIANS TO HATE THEM THEN NIGERIANS MADE IGBOS TO DO WHAT THEY DID

In my analysis of the Nigerian situation whereby occasionally Nigerians kill Igbos I said that Igbos made Nigerians to hate them by being arrogant; if that is true, it is also true that Nigerians made Igbos to be arrogant!.

My perception tells me that white folks caused black folks to feel inferior; if that is true then black folks caused white folks to feel superior; each needs the other to feel whatever illusion it currently feels; without the one the other would not feel whatever it is feeling.

The chicken or egg question cannot be easily solved. The parent caused the child but without the child the parent would not exist; thus, both parent and child are the same force in two seeming different places.

THE FALLACY OF DUALISTIC THINKING

God and his son are the same force in two seeming different places. However, our minds insist on dualistic thinking; we keep saying God and his son (two), good and bad, light and darkness whereas both are the same force acting differently.

Consider that good cannot exist without bad; God cannot exist without his son; so the same non-dualistic force seems in two different places but remain as one force. God is his son and his son is God. In effect, I, the son of God, is God and God is me. I, the part of the whole, is the world and the whole is me. This is non dualistic reality.

BYRON KATIE IS CORRECT: THE WORLD IS A THOUGHT IN PICTURES THAT WE ATTACH TO

Life in ego and body is nothing. We all know this to be true but do not want to accept it. This is what happens.

There is what has no name that we can call life, spirit, God, son of God, self or whatever we want to call it. That force is pure intelligence. It has a mind.

Thoughts enter that self’s mind. This is the nature of reality: thoughts are always entering our minds. There is never a time that there are no thoughts in our minds but we can choose what thoughts we accept as true.

Where thoughts come from is nowhere for the thoughts have no meaning in themselves. A course in miracles said that out of nowhere the thought that separation is possible entered the mind of the son of God; and the son of God pursued it hence our world of separation; but it did not tell us where that thought came from; however, it did say in its poetics that thoughts are always in our minds but that we can choose ego thoughts or have ego thoughts reinterpreted by the Holy Spirit for us.

A course in miracles, while purporting to teach non-dualistic monism made ego and Holy Spirit seem dual; God and his son seem dual; in truth ego and Holy Spirit, God and his son are the same force in two seeming places.

What are real are the self and its mind but what is in it is not real. Thoughts are not real but the thinker of thoughts is real.

Thoughts enter our mind and if we become attached to such thoughts, that is, identify with them and call them our thoughts and pursue them we becomes deluded; we see ourselves as our thoughts whereas we are not our thoughts.

Let me reiterate: one is not one’s thoughts; thoughts come from nowhere and are going to nowhere. The universe produces thoughts and will always do so but we have the choice to accept them or reject them.

Thoughts of separation enter our minds and we identify with them and now believe that we are separate from each other, from reality (reality is unified) and live as separated selves, egos.

To make that thought of separation seem real we (meaning the son of God who is God in a seeming different state, remember) invented space, time and matter. We now seem to have the world of space, time and matter and are now housed in bodies.

We project it out and see ourselves in bodies in space, time and matter. In truth we are not in body, space and time and matter.

What are happening on earth are thoughts in the mind of a part of God, us; those thoughts are neither good nor bad; they are just thoughts projected into images and seen as in a dream. We believe them to be real and they seem real for us.

Dreams are not real but they seem real for you as long as you are sleeping and dreaming. When you awaken from the dream you know that it is not real. Dreams, pictures aren’t real.

Byron Katie is also correct is saying that we are already enlightened but deny it and keep seeking it in other peoples teachings. Our true self is the force behind this world; that self is not in body and matter, space and time and it is nameless. We focus on the limited self, the ego and its body and the world of egos and bodies.

All we need to do is overlook the egos and bodies, this world and we experience the self that we already and always are. That is, enlightenment is what we already are but we deny it and focus on the false ego self and believe that we are not enlightened and seek enlightenment from the teachings of supposed prophets who may not have experienced their true selves.

WHATEVER HAS ALREADY HAPPENED IS REALITY

Byron Katie said that whatever has already happened is reality because it has already happened. If you see racist discriminate against you that is reality, for it has already happened to you. You cannot change the past; you cannot change what racist did to you.

Actually, you and racists (both of you are one self) agreed for racists to discriminate against you. Because you play a part, a role in racism you can decide not to participate in it and choose a situation where you are not discriminated again.

You can opt out of the racist system and not seek jobs or for approval from racists; you can choose to live outside the box and the racist system would exist as a racist system for other people but not for you.

I did this when I dropped out of teaching at the university; I chose to go do my own thinking uninfluenced by what the establishment, dominated by whites, approves. The result is my unique philosophy that will change the world.

BYRON KATIE IGNORED BIOLOGY

Byron Katie’s psychotherapy is useful up to appoint. Her approach to helping people assumed that people’s problems lie only in their minds, not their bodies; she ignored the biological aspect of being; actually, the state of one’s body affects the state of one’s mind.

She assumes that if you change your thinking and mind that you would change your life; that change of thinking, from seeing the external things determining you to seeing you as able to look at things differently would heal depression, anxiety, fear and paranoia. That pattern of perception helps but we must add the reality of biology in the state of the mind. I factored biology and spirituality into my psychology hence it is more developed than hers.

MY INTELLECTUAL PATH TO ENLIGHTENMENT

Byron Katie and Helen Schucman are women; women engage in poetic thinking and seldom engage in pure philosophical thinking; philosophy is the purview of men. I actually have not, in my entire life, seen a single woman who thinks rationally, philosophically; women always perceive reality in poetic forms.

I am a man and, therefore, must think philosophically, not in women’s poetic form. I chose to understand enlightenment through intellectual processes hence studied it. From my studies I accept that the true self is already my real self and is in me (and also outside me if you consider other people as outside me but in fact they are inside me); not outside of me and when I let go of the ego and its body picture I sink back into the real self. It is the real self that pursues pictures that its thoughts produced for it to look at.

Now, I look at the thoughts and their pictures but do not see them as who I am; they become a means of amusement; I cannot get to a point where there are no thoughts in my mind, for there are always thoughts in our minds.

The enlightened person still has thoughts but choose not to identify with them as real or unreal.

Byron Katie is teaching what A course in miracles is teaching in her way; as such, she is a genuine teacher of God; she is not trying to conform to what other teachers of God teach about God; she teaches it her way. She ends up teaching the perennial wisdom of mankind that all teachers of God teach. Her philosophy is the same as A course in miracles, Gnosticism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism.

Each of us must teach about reality in his way and in the end teach what all teachers of God teach but no one can teach it in other people’s ways.

I cannot teach about reality as Buddha, or Jesus or Krishna or Katie did; I teach it in my own intellectual way.

The reason I have to teach it intellectually, not in women’s poetics is because I am here to reach intellectuals, scientists to help them accept the truth. Poetry does not appeal to me and the scientific mind.

I SAW THE WORLD AS NOTHING REJECTED IT BUT TRIED TO TRANSFORM IT TO SOMETHING GOOD

Here is my journey. In childhood I correctly saw me and the world as not real, as worthless and nothing and tried to use my thinking to produce a better version of it; to make me/people that I saw behaving foolishly, such as Igbos who behave stupidly behave lovingly and respectfully. That was my problem.

Here is the solution. I cannot make other people behave lovingly. They are dream figures and behave as unified mind projected them out to behave. They so behave so that those they verbally degraded would attack them and they cry injustice forgetting that they caused the attack on them. Their egos feel real to them when they are attacked; without others attacks their egos would not feel alive and real so they must provoke others attacks on their egos and bodies.

They do so for me to see how folks bring about their own attacks by their foolish egoistic behaviors. They do so for me to learn and correct my own egoistic behaviors; I am not supposed to hate any one, not to disrespect anyone but to overlook what folks do and love their real self, for their real self is literally me (our shared one self, the son of God that projected out the world, the dream we are in).

In overlooking what other people do, in forgiving them I am literally overlooking what I did; I am not doing them a favor but doing me a favor (actually in doing me a favor I do them a favor for all of us are one self); I am living in peace and happiness and giving my peace to other people, to me projected out.

I was trying to make the world I correctly saw as nothing seem something important to me. Therein lied my mistake; the world cannot be made important for it is nothing; nothingness is neither good nor bad; nothingness is to be overlooked, ignored and one experience its opposite, spirit.

Even after one has experienced spirit the world is still there, it is still thought of separation in pictures and one still sees it but now one no longer attaches to it for one knows that it is not real. Study it scientifically but do not take it as real.

BECAUSE PEOPLE FEEL WEAK THEY MUST ACT TO DEFEND THEIR SELVES AND HAVE PERSONALITY

People feel physically weak and perceive a powerful environment trying to overwhelm them; they must act to seem powerful to do what they have to do to adapt to the impersonal environment and survive; they must develop personalities that desire strength and act out sometimes.

Teenagers must act as if they are powerful; it is part of the human condition; to ask people to act only nicely and lovingly is to be naïve and stupid.

Young black folks perceive their selves controlled by white folks and must act defiantly. Women are weak and must use their minds and behaviors to seek ways to control men in what is called women’s wiles.

LEADERS ACT AND DO SOMETHING; NON-LEADERS STUDY THEM; LEADERS HAVE NO TIME TO STUDY LEADERSHIP BUT COULD USE GOOD BOOKS ON LEADERSHIP WRITTEN BY NON LEADERS.

ARTISTS ARTICULATE THEIR AGE’S PAINS IN A MUSICAL MANNER TO GIVE PEOPLE JOY; THEY CHEER PEOPLE UP
