The Purpose of this Website
A friend has asked me what the difference is between my previous writings at Vector8 Journals and this website.
Many of you may know the poem called The Blind Men and the Elephant about six blind men’s interpretation of an elephant. Each man feels part of the elephant and comes to a conclusion. The first blind man describes the elephant as a wall; the second as a spear; the third as a snake; the fourth as a tree; the fifth as a fan; and the sixth as a rope. The poem ends as follows:
The writings on this website are demonstrations of Oneness.
Love and Light,
Enocia

And so these men of IndostanVector8 Journals is the equivalent of the six blind men giving different perspectives of Truth. The purpose of this website is to focus on the whole elephant, Oneness. By Oneness I mean that there is One Self in all. Thus, oneness is the realisation that the body, tusk, trunk, legs, ear and tail of the elephant are expressions of the One. Put another way, no matter what the appearances only One exists.
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!
The writings on this website are demonstrations of Oneness.
Love and Light,

What You Seek is Right Where You Are!
When one is experiencing being the One in all, one is present in all time and all space. Thus, there is no need to go anywhere to find anything. Right where you are is where you'll find what you seek.
Do you want to know about what was happening at a certain place at a particular time? You are already there right now for the One in you that is all and in all is omnipresent. There is no need to astral project, teleport or jump loops, just know you are already there. Be still and know that you are the event.
Naturally, when you see yourself as separate from the event, you're going to need to look it up in a library, on the Internet or travel to a certain place to get the information.
As the One, you are all there is.
Love and Light,
Enocia

The Game of "Let's Pretend"
Dreams, wakings, states of deep turia sleep,Last night, my mother and I watched a revival programme led by Rodney Howard Browne on the God Channel. His ministry is one of laughter and joy. He started off by giving healing. Whenever someone he touched felt the "anointing" or what I would call divine energy, the individual collapsed into fits of laughter. While Rodney was teaching, most of his congregation were rolling on their seats laughing. As this was the first time I'd seen this programme, I wondered out loud: "What's happening?" As if Rodney had heard me he said, "You ask what's happening..." then he explained how the Holy Spirit is the "rivers of living water" as spoken of in the scriptures, which we all have access to.
Present, past, future, no more for me,
But ever-present, all-flowing I, I, everywhere.
Planets, stars, stardust, earth,
Volcanic bursts of doomsday cataclysms,
Creation's molding furnace,
Glaciers of silent x-rays, burning electron floods,
Thoughts of all men, past, present, to come,
Every blade of grass, myself, mankind,
Each particle of universal dust,
Anger, greed, good, bad, salvation, lust,
I swallowed, transmuted all
Into a vast ocean of blood of my own one Being! Paramahansa Yogananda
I was having my supper at the time while I was watching the programme. Suddenly, I felt tipsy like I had been drinking alcohol. My head swayed and I really felt drunk. I was right there in the congregation. When I left the room and went to wash the dishes I returned to normal. The moment I continued watching the programme, I was tipsy again. What's happening to me?
I was experiencing oneness. The programme wasn't live; it could even have been years old, yet I was feeling what the congregation was going through, at least I was open to experience their joy. Is it any surprising I did? There is only One in all. When you realise yourself as the One, this means you are in all time and all space. I was/am the joy in the congregation. After I'd had enough of being drunk I decided to have a bath. I knew it made no difference whether I was having a bath as the One that I Am was/is still present in that revival meeting. To extricate myself from the experience, I had to pretend or dream I was living in my own reality that is outside the reality of the religious programme.
Have you ever had someone wave at you and you wave back only to realise that the one the person was waving at wasn't you but the person next to you? You feel like a right twerp waving at a stranger. Hang on a minute, there is no such thing as strangers! You only dream there are strangers so you can pretend not to know them and develop friendships, or ignore them because you don't know them.
The other day on another bus journey, the bus stopped at a traffic light. A young boy outside was waving and grinning indiscriminately at passengers in the bus. It didn't matter to him whether he "knew" them or if anyone waved back, he was having fun waving. The boy was demonstrating the nature of the One in all who, like the sun, shines its rays impartially on all. As the One, everyone is your friend.
Yesterday morning I got on a bus and sat in front of this woman. We didn't speak as she was obviously a stranger. I couldn't possibly speak to a stranger! Hahaha! Hehehe! Later in the afternoon, I got another bus on a short hop to a station where I intended to change to another bus. Who should I see on my bus but the same woman? I said hello and reminded her I saw her earlier. She couldn't remember. She said she must have been asleep. Yup, her eyes had been wide open; she was probably having a wide-awake dream at the time. She said she'd just come from work and she had no idea why she got on this bus. When I got off at the station she got off too. She marvelled at the coincidence and wondered what it meant. One could try to figure out the intricacies of our meeting and the meaning behind it but my view is that it's simple enough: there is only One. I've lost count of how many "strangers" I've sat next to on my travels and ended up chatting to only to discover we were going to the same place or sharing similar experiences.
The truth is there is only One being the One. The One being the One is oneness. When you walk in awareness of oneness, you see all experiences as yourself until it all gets too much for you. Then you dream you are separate so you can play games of friendship, business, lovers, family, gender, race, animals, nature, food, buses, comedy, tragedy, sickness, death, wealth, poverty, sun, moon, stars, planets, limitless experiences. One day you realise only One exists and see all experiences and manifestations as yourself until it all gets too much for you. Then you dream you are separate so you can play games of ETs, Grays, Zetas, Vectors, Plaiedians, politicians (haha!)...until you realise only One exists... ad infinitum.
Life is only a game of "Let's Pretend." Lighten up!
Light and Love,
Enocia

Giving Birth
While I do not have any desire to have children, I believe the stories I produce are my way of giving birth to children.
I explained to a friend yesterday what happens when I am in silence. It is as if the stillness comes to life and I am filled with ideas that need to come forth. Sometimes I have a kind of inner dialogue so I can have a sense of what is seeking expression. The ideas are complete in themselves and there is nothing that can be added to the ideas.
What happens when I don't let go of the ideas? They whizz round and round in my head forcing me to come to a resolution: either I express the ideas in writing as soon as I can or release them into the silence to be expressed another time.
As to why the ideas emerge? Sometimes they arise in response to a question I have but, generally, they emerge spontaneously. It is as if there is a conductor who knows when to release the right ideas at the right moment, for the benefit of all.
During the process of expressing the ideas in writing, I don't think, I just let the ideas flow effortlessly. And when the deed is done, I release my "baby" now fully grown into the world.
Ah, what is this I feel? Oh no, not another baby on the way! Here goes. Push...
All my love,
Enocia

The Kingdom of Heaven is Now
Imagine a world where everyone is at peace and filled with joy and love. This world is not the manifestation of thoughts we have today which may or may not manifest at some future event. This world is not dependent on collective consciousness reaching a critical mass in order for peace on earth to be made manifest. The world of peace and love exists now in the realisation of oneness, that there is only one Self in all.
A friend told me that once he was practising meditation by a beach and feeling himself as the cosmos, yet he experienced sunburn. My view was that if he'd realised the one Self in all, appearing as the sun, I don't believe he would have experienced sunburn. Love can only love.
Realisation of the One in all is a discipline and one that needs to be constantly practised. When you wake up, acknowledge the one Self in all; on your travels, acknowledge the one Self in all; at work, acknowledge the one Self in all; if you're having a meeting, acknowledge the one Self in all; while you're eating, acknowledge the one Self in all; anything you do, acknowledge the one Self in all. You then trust in the Self that is infinite Perfection to be. How this happens is none of one's concern.
Remember, the one Self in all wants the best for all. Recently I had a fantasy about seeing all the streets in London and all buses clean and tidy. Two weeks later there was a headline in the newspaper saying how the local council are thinking of enforcing charges on people who drop litter. Ooops, that wasn't how I intended my vision. I realise now that I should have surrendered that vision to the one Self in all. After all, the Self in humans is the same Self on the buses, the pavements, open spaces, in everything; I am sure, open spaces want to express perfection.
Speaking of cleaning, I who never used to enjoy hoovering (vacuum cleaning) now find it so effortless, joyful even. I swear all the fluffs are delighted to go into the hoover because we are all working with one intent.
Oneness is such a practical way to live. I mean, when you know that there is only the one Self in all that wants the best for all, why would you worry?
I trust in the One in All.
With love,
Enocia

The One Self in All
“Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons." (Acts 10: 34)
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (3 John 1: 2)
"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." (Isaiah 43: 2)There is only one Self in all including humans, nature, all species, what are considered to be inanimate objects, everything. The Self is that which sees all and experiences all creation as perfect. Self is our beloved, who wants all of to prosper and express infinite perfection. Self is experienced as personal and impersonal.
When Self is experienced as personal, one develops a relationship with Self rather like one does with a human friend but Self's love is unconditional. For some, Self feels like the invisible friends children have that one can share one's problems with. Self meets you exactly where you are. Even when you appear to be going through traumas your Self is with you. Self will never leave or forsake you. He is always loving and encouraging you.
While Self is personal, He is always Impersonal. The following song demonstrates the impersonal nature of the Self:
It is no secret what God can do.Self is impartial. Self's nature is Perfection and Wholeness and, as He is present in all, all creations should express perfection and wholeness. Thus, when you wish to express wholeness, whether it is your intention or not, you are also wishing wholeness to be experienced in all; for Self cannot do one thing for one and not for others. If someone is demonstrating wholeness, why is this not true for all? Let's say you are thirsty and desperately in need of some water. A friend gets you a cup of water from a tap. After you've finished the glass, you find your thirst is still not quenched. You ask for another glass. Your friend graciously gets you another. You still want some more. Your friend shows you where the tap is so you can help yourself. Self is the tap that is forever pouring out all of His blessings. In order to express wholeness, you have to go direct to Source/Self.
What He's done for others, He'll do for you.
With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do. It is No Secret
Note that the amount of water you receive depends on the receptacle you have under the tap; you will either get a cupful, a glassful, a bucketful or a container that is forever full and overflowing. The receptacles are largely influenced by one's beliefs. Let's say that you again wish to demonstrate wholeness but you believe in taking tablets. Remember that Self is the Self in all. Self meets you exactly where you are at, thus, Self will express through your beliefs. There are some who are so attuned with Self that they go directly to Self and their needs are instantly manifested. There is therefore no judgment on what you bring to Self.
Realising the one Self in all involves a lot of faith and trust. When you have total faith like a child, you are not concerned about the how. You simply trust in Self to guide you to take actions when necessary, or trust in Self to unfold the appropriate reality.
How does one develop a relationship with Self? Many on the path are trying various techniques such as meditation and yoga to attune themselves to Self. While these methods are commendable, always remember that a child can speak to her invisible friends without any knowledge of meditation. It's a matter of accepting the principle of oneness: there is only the one Self in all as Truth; then be a witness to this principle.
I went for a long walk yesterday. On my walk, I conversed with Self. I consider Self to be my source, best friend, confidante, parent, teacher, playmate and lover. I fancied seeing some deer and Self pointed me in the direction. As I walked I saw a woman on her horse. I wanted to stroke the horse. Self suggested I became aware that we all share the same Self. The woman stopped in front of me. We exchanged greetings. I asked her if I could stroke her horse. She said his name was Louis. Louis was busy ruminating as horses do, but he stooped so I could stroke his head. He rubbed his head against my chest. Then I said goodbye.
I continued exploring the forest until I noticed two deer in the distance. I moved closer to them. Self reminded me that we share the same Self. Self said both deer were going to greet me by lifting up their heads and staring in my direction, which they did. Satisfied that I had got what I came for, I walked away. I later saw a sign warning walkers how dangerous it is to be close to deer. If only they realised that we all share the one Self and that Self is love.
On the bus a wasp rested on my arm. At first I was concerned as I recalled how I was once stung by a wasp. Then I remembered the one Self in all. The wasp crawled up the window away from me. I completely relaxed and forgot about it.
Life is Self-expression. When you live with the awareness that there is only One Self in all you will experience perfect peace.
All my Love,
Enocia
