Enlightenment

Altazar Rossiter

WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT? I wonder if anyone really knows what constitutes enlightenment, beyond their fantasy of what it must be like. Glowing rainbow chakras … floating in ecstatic bliss … free of challenges … Every day I see various memes, giving me idealised versions of it. I certainly don’t measure up to any of them … and don’t want to. [I have actually been accused of it a few times 🙄 … I plead not guilty.] It seems to me that “enlightenment” is another of those loaded terms that we’re encouraged to judge ourselves by. Another opportunity to admit to not being good enough. There are so many of these in our social order. They create a dominant focus on what we’re not good at, so that we learn to ignore our gifts: the stuff we’re good at. Our gifts and talents are generally… Read moreEnlightenment

What’s Coming Next

Altazar Rossiter

WHAT’S COMING NEXT? …  I saw this headline on a recent article, but it was preceded by “THIS IS …” and it occurred to me that nobody actually knows. Because the future reality is unfolding according to the frequency of its creators. Those creators are us, you and me. And our frequencies are shifting … evolving … all the time. So the future reality that we manifest is also evolving. This evolution is a living expression of the inherent creativity that inhabits the beingness of humankind. It’s actually awakening now and we’re beginning to see its potential. However there are many distressing predictions offered in the terms indicated above: “THIS IS WHAT’S COMING NEXT!!!”. Most of these predictions exploit a fear of what could happen, if some form of corrective action is not taken. They’re marketed incessantly by both our official and unofficial information… Read moreWhat’s Coming Next

THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL

Altazar Rossiter

I remember my first “dark night of the soul”. And yes there has been more than one. They seem to be an intrinsic part of the personal transformation journey. But the first one was the most intense, perhaps because it was an experience that nothing could prepare me for. I was in complete mental and emotional melt-down. Everything I was familiar with in an everyday normal sense of things lost its significance. I could barely function. My mind was spinning. I didn’t know who I was, what I should do or what anything meant in the world. Of course, I was overstressed and burned out. And the everyday normal thing to do would have been go to my doctor and get some medication … so I could carry on fitting into my version of normality. THE SLOW DEATH … The trouble was my version… Read moreTHE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL

The Call to Unity

Altazar Rossiter

I was born a few short years after the end of World War 2, into a firmly established wartime consciousness that permeated my early childhood. I spent some of those years in the adventure playgrounds created by the Luftwaffe – the bomb-sites of North London. Since those days there have been several nuclear scares, along with military action in other parts of the world, but I’ve lived in the privileged war-free zone of North-Western Europe. The wartime consciousness I remember from my childhood has faded into a history that fewer and fewer people are alive to recall … but it feels like it’s back now. During times of war major controls are imposed on the civilian population. That’s generally accomplished by a manipulation of consent through insistent official narratives supported by the “news” media. And of course, any information that undermines the official story… Read moreThe Call to Unity

The Conspiracy of Conspiracy Stories

Altazar Rossiter

It’s been clear to me from a very early age that the way the world is just doesn’t add up. Everything I’ve been told about human civilisation, political ideologies and world governance only makes sense at a superficial level, which never has resonated with what I feel. But, like everyone else here, there was little to go on to help me find a deeper truth … and plenty of criticism and ridicule for making the attempt. So, although I maintained an interest, I mostly kept my thoughts and opinions to myself. I first became aware of much of the information called “conspiracy theory” over 30 years ago. There were few real surprises, as even back in the 1960s and 70s I was already aware through direct experience of the UFO phenomenon – and official strategies of denial and disinformation. So, I do acknowledge relevant… Read moreThe Conspiracy of Conspiracy Stories
