I am Adam Lanza

This meditation is prompted by the events in Connecticut.

I am a nondualist who follows Advaita, the way of Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj. My truth is that there is no difference between you and me, no separation between "my" consciousness and all-that-is. The appearance of separateness is an illusion - "I AM" both all there is and nothing at all.

In this way of being, there is literally no difference between me and Adam, the Connecticut shooter. He is me.

It's not that in some abstract way I must "assume responsibility" for what happened there because "we are all one". It's much closer than that.

I looked through the sights of that rifle, into the eyes of those children. I pulled the trigger. I watched them die. He is me, I AM him. I did that.

In the same moment I AM each of those children.

I looked into the eyes above that rifle. I stared into the tiny black hole in its tip. I felt the fear, I saw the finger move on the trigger. I saw the beginning of the flash, and I felt the incomprehensible result.

I also lay on the floor in the corner of the classroom - face down as my teacher had told me, trying in vain to hide in plain sight. I heard feet stop beside me. I saw the tip of a boot out of the corner of my eye. I felt that enormous blow as the darkness came.

I AM the parents answering the awful telephone call. I AM the politicians, frozen like deer in the headlights of this insoluble, irreversible moment. I AM all the separated ones, unable to bear the pain, retreating desperately into the unconsciousness of platitudes and projections.

And I AM my mundane self, working hard to become aware, open and vulnerable, to truly BE all-that-is. And into this open space come the the trigger finger and the bullets, the fear and pain, and the grief and rage of a world betrayed.

In this mundane life I have taken the name Bodhi, as a reminder of the state to which I aspire. In Buddhism, a Bodhisattva takes a vow to work for the liberation or moksha of all sentient beings for as long as samsara persists. As I AM all beings, and they are me, I AM here until that happens. As are all of us.

I AM Adam Lanza, and with this voice I say to the world,

"I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you."

- We, and everything are a part of All That Is.

K&R

When you kill a man, you believe that you kill him forever. Murder is a crime that must then be dealt with. Death, however, does not exist in those terms. In the dawn of physical existence, men knew that death was merely a change of form.

There is never any justification for violence. There is no justification for hatred. There is no justification for murder. Those who indulge in violence for whatever reason are themselves changed, and the purity of their purpose adulterated.

If you do not like the state of your world, it is you yourselves that must change, individually and en masse. This is the only way that change will be effected.

The responsibility for your life and your world is indeed yours. It has not been forced upon you by some outside agency. You form your own dreams and you form your own physical reality.

The world is what you are. It is the physical materialization of the inner selves which you have formed.

It is wrong to curse a flower and wrong to curse a man. It is wrong not to hold any man in honor, and it is wrong to ridicule any man. Your must honor yourselves and see within yourselves the spirit of eternal validity. You must honor all other individuals, because within each is the spark of this validity. When you curse another, you curse yourselves, and the curse returns to you. When you are violent, the violence returns.

I speak to you because yours is the opportunity to better world conditions and yours is the time. Do not fall into the old ways that will lead you precisely into the world that you fear. There is no man who hates but that hatred is reflected outward and made physical, and there is no man who loves but that love is reflected outward and made physical.

Seth was my first teacher back in 1975, and he's still one of the best.

Yesterday, when I was consumed by my own grief and rage, my soul partner Kathleen reminded me of Seth's teachings. She asked that instead of mourning, that I instead honour those children for the hard choice they made to come here and teach the world as they have. As I thought about her words, I realized that if I honour them, I can do no less for Adam. They are us.

Thank you for bringing Seth into the field.

3. I see that we both started with Seth at the same time.

And over these many years, I've found that there are few with whom I could converse on this subject and upon the things Seth has said. Or on Jane Roberts' poetry and her fictional tales such as the Oversoul Seven stories.

I'm a PK and so I grew up in an environment suffused with religiosity. I've studied most of the major religions as a personal endeavor, and have been upon this trek for a very, very long time. But Seth was the pivot point for me that made it all real, that helped me make sense of this world and my reality. And one of the things that I've learned, is that you can't teach this. Everyone must seek and learn it for themselves. All we can do is show others the doorway. Walking through it is their choice.

- And I'm glad to see a fellow traveler on the same road.....

4. It was the first cosmology that ever made sense to me.

I came from the other end of the spectrum - the son of hard-core atheists, raised in a cold Cartesian universe. When I first read "Seth Speaks" a voice in me said. "Fuck! I knew it! That's how it all works!" It still took another 30 years for it to fall into place, but when it finally did, he and Jane were there, waiting patiently for me to slow down, open up and remember. I'm also very lucky that my recently re-united soulmate/twin flame listens to the same Akashic records as I do...

Yes, all we can do is point to the door. It's amazing how many people can see it now, though. The acceleration is really helping.

"Fuck! I knew it! That's how it all works!"

Same here. This is weird, isn't it? All this time..... Oh, well.

I'm trying to further my understanding through immersion into Cosmic Science as taught by José Argüelles/Valum Votan & Stephanie South/Red Queen. It's very complex but I'm immersing myself into it a little at a time through the videos on the Cosmic History Chronicles - Volume VII - Book of the Cube.

When I first discovered my Galactic Signature I was blown away. It describe things and my experiences thusfar, to a T. And that of my wife and children as well.

- It's beginning to open my eyes even further. I can't wait until we get this puppy really going.......

I have studied this decoding before.... and when I looked it up, I recalled the symbols and how they go together. But I am perplexed by one of the declarations, (for mine): I organize for equality.

I wish I understood what it might really mean. I might be making it too difficult.

I think it takes more exploration of the meanings, plus seeing the codes everyday lends itself for better interpetation. But hey, I also really liked:

I got a message this morning.

Adam Lanza shooting those children is no different than our drones shooting the innocent and defenseless children of Afghanistan and Libya and Iraq and Syria from the sky.

We have been killing with impunity for decades, innocent and defenseless people, destroying families going about their business.

Why are we so shocked that we are now killing ourselves? We are one. This is our collective karma.

wonder if we won't see the Adam Lanzas of the world as much as victims as those whose lives he took, and I wonder who his mother was. Why was she the first victim? That truth alone speaks volumes. He went to her first, that speaks volumes, and we are left to wonder why and may never know.

I remember an author who made the proclamation that boys who can't cry tears "cry bullets".
