"We are only as hopelessly lost as we choose to be."  Ron Eppich

Ok, I will admit, I have been sneeking over to this guy Ron's site and borrowing his stuff. Why? Because I like the way he thinks. I don't agree 100% with every last word he says, but pretty damn close.

Anyway, I love these concepts he has listed below. These are truisms he has learned in his 35 or 40 some odd years of searching for truth. Amazingly they are pretty much exactly the same things I have learned in my 35 or 40 some odd years of searching. The greatest truth of all is Number 1 and Number 23.

I thank you Ron for sharing your journey.

 

Ron Eppich's journey:

 

 1.Everything that you have ever been taught is a lie. Now go and find truth.

2.Life is an illusion. Nothing and everything around you is real.

3.We each draw into our lives the things that we expect and believe that we will receive. You can not receive anything that you do not believe that you deserve or can have.

4.We never see reality. We only see our individual perception of reality, based on our experiences and expectations.

5.Time and space are an illusion, created by the conscious mind, to act as a marker, so that we may experience our diverse illusions together.

6.We draw into our lives the people, places, and experiences we need by perfect synchronicity, so that every party to that synchronicity has an opportunity to learn and teach the lessons we and those around us came to receive.

7.You already know everything that there is to know. Learning is only a rediscovering of what you already know, and experience is the opportunity to use it.

8.Success has no meaning. When you arrive at the point you previously called successful, you realize that you are only at the beginning again.

9.Faith is a word without power. It does not take faith to accomplish anything in this life, whether mundane or magickal. It only takes an understanding of the principles that govern the ability you desire, and the imagination to see yourself doing it.

10.Live everyday as if you had no past and as if you have no future. The past only ties you to the patterns and limitations which you have already experienced, and the future only holds the promises of what may or may not be. Live each moment as it really is, the only true moment in life that you truly have.

11.Surrender and allow - be willing to accept each moment as it comes, without reservation or expectation. It is both sad and fortunate together that the things we fear the most and the greatest desires of our heart seldom came to pass, and the uncounted hours that we wasted worrying about both.

12.The events that comprise the motion picture of our lives continues to bear out the fact that reality is often stranger than the most bizarre fiction. If this is not true for you, then you are not consciously aware of your illusion.

13.The only true joy in this life comes from following your own compulsions. If you don't see someone doing what they tell you that they truly want to do, they are doing what they truly want to do, or they would be doing something else.

14.When you get sick and tired of being sick and tired, you'll do something to change your situation.

15.In all times and in all places, act always as you truly are, and allow others to do the same. This is the basis of true human relationships and understanding. This does not mean that anyone has the right to impose themselves or their beliefs on anyone else, but rather that we be open and honest in our dealings with each other.

16.Upon death, every person initially experiences the OtherWorld exactly as they believe it to be, complete with appropriate savior and surroundings. This should tell us something about the effect of our strongly held beliefs on the fabric of reality in this world, as well as the next.

17.As above, so below. As within, so without. As the universe, so the soul! Everything that we see and experience is but a mirror of ourselves. If you don't like the reflection, change the mask.

18.Our soul's evolution is an endless journey. Where God is now, we will someday be. Where we are, God once was. For now, we are learning through our own experiences. Someday, we will learn through the experiences of our creations.

19.Each of us is connected to the First Great Creator by direct connection to the disincarnate being (companion) who watches over and guides us in this life. As it was explained to me, this is an eternal chain of ever higher levels of beings all the way back to "God". I was told, "My companion has a companion, who has a companion, who has a companion... all the way back to the First Great Creator".

20.God cannot be perfect. If God were to become perfect, then God must cease to exist. Perfection is a static state, wherein no further evolution is possible. When we cease to evolve, we cease to exist. If we to cease to evolve and yet exist, then we would be left behind in the ever-forward progression of all things. Highly advanced beings, including God, find ways of continuing to learn and grow beyond conventional human understanding, but they do continue their evolutionary journey. Thus God cannot be perfect, except in our ability to understand the true nature of perfection.

21.In this world you are given the right to choose (free agency) because the immediate execution of both Divine rewards and punishments for your thoughts, words and deeds are suspended. This is a place of learning, based on choices, both good and bad. Most of the things that man calls "sin" are based more on moral consensus reality than divine decree. Strict laws and rules limit experience, not promote it. However, the Law Of Natural Consequences does hold sway.

22.The are only Two Great Laws that govern this world. These laws constitute the sum total of the ways by which you may "sin" (acquire "karma"). The First Great Law says that you may not deliberately, maliciously, and premeditatedly inflict injury or harm on another individual on any level (i.e., physical, mental, emotional, psychological, etc.). The Second Great Law is like unto the first, in that you may not deliberately, maliciously, and premeditatedly deprive another individual of their free agency (choosing their life and making decisions for themselves). Any thought or act not covered by the above Great Laws constitutes spontaneous experience, and no "karma" is incurred.

23.Any or all of the above statements may be a lie!!! Now go find truth.

You rock Ron!
