This is a part of The Teachers Speak, a series of articles on the Culture of Awareness. Continued from part 1 (Read full post here).

According to John Ruusbroec, we strengthen the barrier between us and our creator when we try to intellectually examine life.

“At the very moment when we try to examine and observe what it is that we are experiencing, we slip back into the activity of reasoning, at which we become aware of distinction between ourselves and God.” (1)

The Upanishads tell us that our false sense of separation from the Source creates fear.

“So long as there is the least idea of separation from him, there is fear.” (2)

To be one with God is to be free of fear, because we know we can do anything with the Most High by our side.

The hesitation with which we previously approached life will be replaced with love for our existence and determination to help others, and any fear we have toward others will vanish when we see God in everyone.

With this perspective, we can replace fear with openheartedness and judgment with compassion.

Dattatreya tells us that duality brings grief.

“Those who see duality are always submerged in an ocean of grief.” (3)

According to Lao-Tzu, non-duality eradicates fear and limitation.

“Once grasp the great Form without form, And you roam where you will With no evil to fear, Calm, peaceful, at ease.” (4)

The moment we try to define ‘goodness’ is the moment we invite in ‘wickedness’, Lao Tzu tells us, because they’re both a part of duality.

“Since the world points up beauty as such, There is ugliness too. If goodness is taken as goodness, Wickedness enters as well.” (5)

Da Free John encourages us to free ourselves from fear by embodying God.

“Abide as That which does not, when scrutinized, show any duality in the form of these various objects or the least trace of cause and effect, That in which, when the mind is absorbed in It, there is no fear of duality at all.” (6)

We can enter into this transcendental state with meditation, and the best way to feel it is to embody it. The best part is that we already embody it, and all we need to do is invite it to appear. In a way, we don’t have to do anything at all.

So enjoy life and accept the vibes you feel in any given moment as a part of you and a part of this infinite creation. Instead of judging others, remember that you have a lot in common and wish them the same love and joy you’d wish for yourself and your loved ones.

Be at peace with the world and with God, and know that you aren’t foolish for embracing peace and non-duality. You’re evolving and slowly awakening to the oneness of every living thing, and right now, nothing could be more crucial.

I changed the date from 2-9 to 2-4-16, because that’s when Mike says this was recorded. I’ve not listened to it yet, but I’ve always appreciated Mike Harris’ interview style, and how he communicates with his guest. Thanks to Mike and Ben for doing this interview, and to Guido Fox (aka “Guy Fox”) for posting.

Found this at RMN.

It (the audio) is also available at http://www.veteranstoday.com/2016/02/09/short-end-of-the-stick-with-mike-harris-benjamin-fulford-is-the-guest.

Mike Harris interviewed Ben Fulford on Feb. 9th for his Short End of the Stick radio show.

This was a fascinating discussion, and mostly a positive one. Ben Fulford thinks the days of the cabal’s power reign are almost over. 2016 looks to be a very important year.

MH: “Everytime I interview you, someone puts it up on Youtube. We get a quarter of a million views, and then it disappears.”
BF: “Let’s make sure it doesn’t disappear this time.” (this comes at the end of the podcast)
To keep the discussion going no matter what, the good people at GEI have started a thread.

“SMILING HORSE” (AND A RAINBOW!) FROM WISE OWL DONNA IN HAWAII

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, embracing the magic of life

Moon in Cancer/Leo 9:18 pm ET/2:18 am UT

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Matangi, Goddess of the Wind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Seth, God of the North, God of Enlightenment

Skill: use discernment with what is on display

True Alignments: values and standards, exchange and interchange, free spirited, building on strengths, seeing the truth, inside matching outside, inspiration, putting oneself into the mix, putting the best foot forward, wider audience, ideals

Catalysts for Change: powers of persuasion or mind control, breaking rules that are in place for the benefit of all, stingy with money, deceptive shows or presentations/false flags, extremes of superficiality, inside not matching the outside, the lack of integrity or value being visible

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: “a large white dove bearing a message” (information, signs)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: “the music of the spheres” (recalibration of consciousness)

Today’s energy makes quite a scene. The Sabian symbols of the locations of the inner planets center around what is on display — things being on display, things being featured, displaying the best or idealized versions, and even putting on a show. The energy is quite theatrical.

Wise owls look at what is being presented today clearly and objectively, relying heavily on the super-power that results from “waking up” to the “reality” of the world: discernment. Discernment is a skill that we have been practicing for a long time. The process of discernment comes about from activation of the will (the divine masculine) with wisdom (the divine feminine).

We also understand that propaganda is running wild right now, with Mars discharging the “scene” of “crowds coming down the mountain to listen to one inspired man.” We are able to discern who is truly inspired. The rest is flimflam.

The other symbols involved are the Sun at “a crowded public marketplace,” the Earth at “in a portrait the best of a man’s features and traits are idealized,” and Mercury is at “beautifully gowned wax figures on display.”

We consider the “display” theme within both the microcosm of our personal lives and the macrocosm of the world at large. What are you being shown today? What is on the stage? What is the message? What are the signs? Are there repeats or synchronicities?

On the side, Venus is discharging the energy of “a deserter from the navy,” so the message or whatever is on display may prompt feelings of wanting to opt out, removal, or escape. Most often, this energy involves our morals and values and situations that run counter to these.

Often overlooked with this symbol is the key element that it is a sailor from the navy deserting. The branch of service is the navy. Sailors cannot desert anytime they like because they are often underway or at sea. “Jumping ship” can only happen under certain circumstances, so we want to consider the consequences of our actions before taking important action today.

The navy is defense by way of water. In astrology and archetypal psychology water is symbolic of emotions. Overall, this energetic seeks release from anything that is emotionally overwhelming or pressuring us. Circumstances are designed to carry this out.

It should be noted that this dynamic also energizes rebellion against imperialism and any type of control system, a wider theme “underway” since April 18, 2015, the beginning of the current solar-lunar year.
