You Cannot Be Harmed... - Raz - 10-30-2015
I really resonated with this article and wanted to share, in my experience it makes allot of sense... Even if we assume unpleasant states (dis-ease or pain in any form) is "bad", in my experience I feel and have come to assume that there is ultimately never any harm.
You Cannot Be Harmed:
Consciousness is affected by experience but not harmed. It is the nature of aware consciousness to be affected by everything it experiences. Every color and sound, every event and experience, and every passing thought or feeling affects your consciousness. That is why we call it consciousness. A rock isn’t as affected by these things, so we consider a rock less conscious than a person.
And yet, consciousness is not harmed by anything. That is its nature, that it can’t be harmed. The form of anything can be harmed or permanently changed. Your body can be harmed, but the consciousness that contains your body cannot be harmed. This is good news. It’s like a “Get out of Jail” card in Monopoly. No matter what happens, you, as consciousness, are completely unharmed. What a relief! There is nothing that can harm you. No one and nothing has ever harmed you.
This is not to say that consciousness isn’t affected deeply by both the good and bad things that happen to us. Every hurtful and unkind act leaves an impression in the consciousness of those involved. It’s just that the impression doesn’t permanently limit or damage the awareness of those involved. If something permanently affects us, it could be said to have harmed us. But if the effect is temporary, then what is the ultimate harm? Everything that profoundly affects our awareness, from the beautiful to the tragic, eventually passes. It is the miracle of our consciousness that it can heal from any wound, even if our body cannot.
What you are is eternal, aware space, or consciousness. You have a body, but you are not that body. So while your body can be permanently harmed, just like your car or camera can be, you as consciousness eventually heal or recover from every experience that has affected you. Even if the effect lasts for lifetimes, eventually it is diminished and disappears. From the perspective of something eternal, even many lifetimes isn’t that long.
When you realize that your true nature as consciousness can’t be harmed, that puts all of life’s difficulties in perspective. Similarly, when someone’s car is totaled in an accident but he or she isn’t hurt, we consider that person lucky. This is because we have a perspective on the relative importance of damage to a car. It’s not such a big deal relative to a serious physical injury or death. If you realize that you are aware space, then everything else is like the totaled car—no big deal.
Some things are still more important than others. Physical harm is still a bigger difficulty than harm to a car or other physical object. But by knowing that your true nature is space, which cannot be harmed, the bigger difficulties and even tragedies in life can be seen in perspective.
A simple question to ask is, “What effect does this experience have on my eternal soul?” And while everything leaves an impression on your awareness and your soul, nothing can ever permanently harm your soul, your true nature as empty awareness. In fact, every experience enriches your soul. Every moment adds to the depth and richness of your deepest knowing. We sense this in people who have faced a lot of difficulty in life and who have accepted their fate. There is a depth and wisdom that only comes from a wide range of experience, including painful and unwelcome experiences.
The willingness to meet and have any experience comes from the recognition that what you are is open, spacious awareness. Your body, mind, personality, emotions, and desires all appear within that awareness, but they are not you. And the real you cannot be harmed.

I call bull. I've been traumatized in the past. My psychologist says I have PTSD.

Harm is the concept of harm itself. With this said, when the concept of harm appears in our lives we should not act against it, exasperating the harm, unless we are called to pronounce the concept of harm ever further. We should contemplate all paths towards what may create the concept of harm and what may put it to rest, if we wish to release it.
Indeed you cannot be harmed but you certainly can believe you are, and such illusions must face their respective burden, reality until their natural release.
"Timmy hits me, it feels like harm, the concept of harm is created. You may as well simply avoid having Timmy hit you in the future, unless you wish to create the concept of harm further for you and Timmy by fighting, punishing, harming him."

I think you are evading the feeling of harm here? Harm is an intellectual interpretation of pain. We have a number of concepts expressed in words that invariably attempt to enhance or dilute the feeling of pain.
Indeed, zero added to zero = zero. But we humans are more than this sum. Harm is an expression, and it is learning to express ourselves more fully that brings us all together, uniquely complex in nature, yet unified by our common intention.

Sorry, was in a bad mood.

Harm is an expression.
Exactly! An expression part of the diversity within this realm of experience, nothing more, nothing less. Survival instinct is a practical tool for prolonging our experience here, but ultimately it is a white lie. There are countless of NDE reports (my self included) that point to this. Also I find it very misleading to call it a NDE. Do you feel like you had a NDE when you wake up from a dream and find your self in your bed (from the dreams perspective)? Perhaps if you only half wake up and instantly return to the same dream and try to explain the experience to other dream characters; There is more to reality than this confused state! Ummm... so what? Why are you not scared of being scared anymore?

You're right of course, Raz, but at the same time people can get stuck with the personality distortions they unwittingly create for eons. Not permanent, but not quite temporary either. And they persist between lives too, in time/space. So, yes and no.
RE: You Cannot Be Harmed... - Adonai One - 10-30-2015
There are dimensions that are without expression, without a need for a belief in a suppression of catalyst, "harm," "pain" because such healing is instantly, INSTANTLY assumed, the present KNOWN IN ALL; No expression, only immediate eternal mindfulness. However, this is what I have been taught in how to seek. I am open to being taught more advanced forms.

Weren't the Maldek people harmed when their planet blew up and they were stuck in a knot of fear?
Or those whose souls were affected by nuclear explosion?

in both cases we where affected, not harmed.
it is a question of what we all fundamentally are. just like the planet will not be harmed if all biological life where to be eradicated even though all biological life is an extension of the planets expression. And the sun wont be harmed if the planet would blow up even though the planet is an extension of the suns expression, and the original source wont be harmed if the sun was going super nova even though the sun is an extension of it´s expression. Our experience as individuals is layered much the same way. The big drama is only there if we confuse finite expression with our ultimate sense of self. And even that confusion is ridiculously safe and part of the experience until we move past it.

Thanks for sharing this article. It vibes to the core message in A Course in Miracles. And it presents the same 'difficulties' in coming to grasp the notion that on the level of consciousness, all that is happening is just like waves atop an ocean.
In fact, if the comprehension of healing/forgiveness is actually grasped, then illness/physical distortions are wiped away as easily as wiping down a kitchen benchtop after preparing a meal. It's on that level of effortlessness, and that level of 'it didn't actually happen'. (when perceived after the fact, no traces of it)
Of course, removing the conceptual blocks and being able to decipher the language behind these 4d/5d understandings is a work of many years.
