All Black is a Compound Modifier and so are You

in #spirituality7 years ago (edited)

Being that I am a 5th generation New Zealander, a descendant of NZ's earliest European settlers the Kealls, Parkers, Burlings, Knapps, and Wiltons I hope you can forgive me for using a Rugby analogy to reinforce the "I am that, I am", after all, rugby has been at the centre of some of NZ's greatest sporting moments. You may have heard senior All Blacks describe their tenure as part of this great rugby team as being a fleeting moment in history while the All Black team is forever or at least for as long as the thought is given love. This enduring team is objectified by the distinctive black Jersey carrying the famous Silver Fern on the breast pocket that is widely accepted as an icon for New Zealand, just as the Kiwi is. So an All Black is the Jersey, not the individual player's Ego! The Jersey is eternal while the player is ephemeral, yet the player while wearing the black jersey embodies all that is the eternal spirit of what it is to be an All Black.

Zin Zan Brooke was quoted in the NZ Dominion newspaper as saying:

"I feel outsiders still underestimate the power that the black shirt holds for New Zealanders, of course, every player from Georgia to Uruguay is incredibly proud to pull on their national shirt and represent their country, but with Kiwis, it is something more, something almost spiritual. Every year people who wear that shirt create history and leave a benchmark for the next generation to aspire to ... it is about submitting yourself to an ideal far bigger than your individual ambitions. The shirt demands that you leave ego at the door." http://hitthe.hotbutton.co.nz/yQKOVaKn

This realisation that the Ego is secondary to the enduring thread of eternal thought, that is manifested in the objective world as the All Blacks, explains the huge success this team has experienced, in spite of it being such a small nation at the bottom of the World. Success that is recognised globally and has seen that this team has been nominated for the World team of the year many times and were Laureus World Sports Award Team of the Year/Winners (2016) after becoming not only the first team to win the Rugby Union World Cup three times but also the first to win it back to back.

Richie McCaw who led the All Blacks in this massive achievement of consecutive wins at both the 2011 and 2015 World Cups became the only captain to achieve such a feat and is a man of great mana in New Zealand and around the World. I'm sure he would be first to say that when he donned the All Black jersey he became the "Jersey". He became what he understood to be the Semantics of the jersey. Semantics that were unequivocal in their meaning. Through the cooperation of many minds with a central intention, several generations of All Black before him had given attention to and focused on what mattered most to the continued and expanding success of the Jersey. This application of intention and attention to the original subjective thought to become the greatest Rugby team of all time and his own publicised and signed goal to become a great all black (GAB) and the eventual objectification of the thought in the form of the iconic Black Adidas jersey becomes irrefutably "i AM All Black". This one phrase, "All Black" has its own semantics distilled across many decades and embodies many powerful concepts including i AM Power, i AM Loyal, i AM Love, i AM Concentration, i AM Courage, i AM Strength etc. "All Black" is the compound phrase of the pure thoughts.

Similarly, i AM Geoff Keall is the compound of the pure thoughts I had about myself in my childhood and unfortunately that compound was not "All Black", just dark and self-defeating. This ability to compound from the pure creative thought into a being that has immense intrinsic power is yours and has always been yours but for the wrong application of thought due to ignorance. Once you realise this, then the game and it is a fun game, is to first accept your inherent power and that you are more worthy than the gods and then secondly to appropriate by personal choice the i AM statements that resonate with you and bring you happiness, joy and value. Just like the phrase "All Black" conjures up feelings and emotions within you and presents an image of power and respect you can use the same process to build the same around yourself. This is how you build your name. Remember the name you build that identifies your i AM to the world is entirely your choice. You can be a powerfully evil creator or a powerful creator of all that is right, pure, uplifting and beautiful. As I have already discussed for most of us our i AM is completely random and built unconsciously.

With this new knowledge, you can now consciously and without effort build "you" to be what you like. By all means if you wish to sit on a hilltop and pontificate the meaning of life then do so, alternatively, if you wish to become the best you can be at a specific task, do that and become the thing or if you want to watch the sunrise, your children grow and your life advance in a quiet corner of the World, do that. You owe no one anything. When you were born you were given the keys to the entire kingdom to make of yourself what you will. You arrived in this world of particles with every right to plant your feet firmly anywhere and rest your head wherever it falls for however long you live. No one has the right to withhold these simple rights from you; if the system says otherwise then the system is wrong and we must change it through conscious application of Love, the essence of all that we call collectively the Universe. Through conscious thought and the understanding of the "i AM that, I Am" we can all create a fairer world that provides equality to all.

There is no pressure here, you are never wrong you can change your i AM at any moment. What you think and add to with intention and attention is what you create and that is the irrefutable law of the sower. Because you are now choosing your thoughts consciously the "You" you were a moment ago is gone and the new you is changed with a simple decision to appropriate and love a new thought or a new way. This is happening to you in every second of every day whether you know it or not or even accept that this is the way. Become aware of this and you will understand that meditation is no more than capturing yourself in the past or the future. Both states that are unreal and Ego driven. An unharnessed ego is your child left to create anarchy.

Love the thought "Butterfly" and in the moment you become as the butterfly. Just as if you love the thought "fear" or the thought "lack" you become in the moment what you interpret to be the meaning of those words and with constant unconscious attention "you" bring to yourself lack and fear. You sow and nurture the thought and reap the thing. Know this and your excuses are just so much bullshit, used to hypnotise you into believing your own justifications for being less than you think you should be. Notice these judgments of less than are all from your own interpretation of feedback and mostly wrong.

Knowing you choose "that" that i AM you are no longer the victim but the emboldened creator. The change is instant because you are what you are thinking, just like water you move softly, freely and with faith, without the need for force or resistance, realising that all the answers you seek are within your grasp. There is always another option, another path open to you because you get to create it. Every moment you decide what you want to be because you are born once into the objective world but infinitely in the subjective world. Just like the All Blacks are eternal but the player's ego is ephemeral your body is ephemeral but you are eternal. Yes, this means you are alone but also everything forever.
