If anyone is to do any Philip Goddard reading, the first step IMO is to understand what he is talking about when he refers to "the garbage".
It took me 3-4 separate attempts over a few months (or a year) to get past his wordiness. It can be time consuming, but as Miron likes to say "the gems" are there if you keep at it.
Here are a few quotes from his site to help understand his aim or purpose (I find him very dedicated to this aim):
Thus the real polarity that is maintained by the presence of the garbage ('dark force') is NOT dark vs light but confusion plus inner captivity vs clarity plus inner freedom.
What is the 'force' of clarity and inner freedom, then? -- Nothing less than our own deepest nature - fundamental consciousness and all that emanates directly from it. That is why we are so completely off the rails when we look outside ourselves for a 'force of light' as means to counter the supposed 'dark force', and why self-actualization* is the only fully effective means to get clear of all garbage interference from oneself. That is also why the garbage is constantly and strenuously seeking to get every single person, each in their different way, looking either outside themselves or to outright denial for his means to supposedly avoid or clear himself of garbage interference.
Virtually universally, the garbage, usually described more diffusely and frighteningly as 'the forces of darkness', 'forces of evil' or similar, has got itself identified in people's minds as various kinds of 'dark' being or 'entity', such as Satan, Lucifer, 'dark' spirits, demons, 'lower astral beings', archons, astral lords, dark angels, dark guides, forces / spirits of Nature, and so on, which are perceived as being pitted against 'positive' or 'higher' beings and presences such as God, the various angels and archangels, and other 'higher' beings such as 'ascended masters' and a whole 'menagerie' of supposedly highly beneficial astral gods / goddesses. Further below I show how wide of the mark the popular notions of the nature / identity of those various beings / entities / presences really are - i.e., according to the working model that I developed in order to usefully explain the masses of observations of mine that were not helpfully explained by the angles on major troublesome influences that are presented by the various traditions and belief systems.
I remind that the notion of 'dark' here is useful ONLY as a figure of speech to indicate something unwholesome for us, for it has nothing to do with actual darkness, whether physical or non-physical - except that it does signify confusion and thus not being able to see what is really there.
Fear is based in confusion and failure to understand. Thus, what I am doing on this page (and elsewhere), through disseminating knowledge and understanding from the basis and viewpoint of real practical experience and clear-mindedness, is to actually enable readers to weaken and eventually eliminate the hold upon them of the mortal fear, dread and terror that the garbage has cultivated in them in order to keep them away from ever finding out what that troublesome influence really is, and thus from ever doing anything effective about it.

From his article "Who is Really Pro-Life?"
Following a rule or regulation is not the manifestation of love nor of clear thought, and altogether not a manifestation of anything positive, for genuine love and clear thought come from within, and you gain these through making your life decisions out of a process of self attunement and self examination.

I would like to post this here as I have spent hours and hours reading Mr. Goddard's material recently.
If there are any folks who are depressed and feeling somewhat suicidal, we have had some of those at this forum and the old. Especially younger adults, I would recommend Mr. Goddard's thread:
For people in crisis- an emergency primer
www.clarity-of-being.org/for-people-in-crisis-emergency-self-help.htm
Helena the cow has to be the happiest moo moo in the world (check it out).
That page might not be the first one sees at his site, so I think it's useful to add it here.
I absolutely love his advice to get out and take a walk! this is a wayyyyy oversimplification btw and my own words!
But he is a hiker/walker (a good example I mean), so I put that here also for anyone just needing a breather from daily, stressful, sometimes overwhelming life..
Here's what he says:
Not only that, but this whole DIY approach readily transforms the whole life experience from a burdensome 'seeking to recover / be cured' one to a joyful adventure of ongoing life upturn, always with new and often quite unexpected positive things opening up as you progress and explore further.

wome, I just started reading through his site (been feeling a bit depressed -- but could be that I just haven't had much sleep the past few days), and I will say this: I am questioning EVERYthing that I have come to believe. This is going to be even harder to wrap my brain around then sentient crystal beings.
geez. thanks a bunch!
It really is giving me cause for pause, though. I had not read anything of his before and it really seems like a clear-thinking person speaking. I really want to take my time reading through all his articles before saying anything more. Another great find! Thank you!!

Your welcome a bunch-hehe His site is saturated in practical break down. It's really wonderful in that he not once refers to other gurus, teachers, Leading figures of Spirituality. He does not place himself opposed to them, but he says and shows that self- realization is a personal process of explicit examination. I suggest to you if you get through the "emergency primer" page, to start reading about his own experiences with the garbage (dark force). It is AMAZing how much crap he went through almost to complete disconnection with reality, just trying to figure out what was going on. I like how he describes "mind space" and how that can be used against us, if we aren't vigilant to our thoughts! There are many thought forms out there and they are Looking for a place to grow and take root. I think he calls this "illusory reality". He has a whole different section about body wellness, I am in the middle of that. If I remember correctly it was Barbara that talked about him here at the forum. I had read his various pages in the past without putting the idea of his purpose (of self-realization wholeness of being) together, so Thanks to Barbara for bringing me back to it.

My pleasure and thank you to you guys for taking it further. I agree that it is very important to read about his personal experiences. Reading about them and his line of thinking related thereto have clarified many of my own life experiences for me, most importantly how 'spiritual types and associated paraphernalia' (crystals, pendulums, astrology, numerology etc.) appear to be implicated in 'troubles'. I imagine that those who resonate with his thinking will have their own corroborating reasons for relating, but I will detail some of my own here to drive the point home.

I just read what he wrote about 'Psychic Attack':
"A deliberate attempt by one or more people to harm a person by non-physical means involving the astral non-reality (which is why the attack is called 'psychic'). The attacks ALL involve use of illusory realities. Although they may appear to come in all manner of forms, actually their mechanisms are fundamentally the same - though I am not sure how many people who carry out psychic attacks are aware of that.
Psychic attacks may be in the well-known form of spells, curses or voodoo, but actually they can be carried out in many ways that superficially do not fit the popular image of those terms.
As already noted, part of any psychic attack's modus operandi is one or more illusory realities, and, generally, the other primary building block is thought forms. A programmed construction of thought forms may be sent to a person to cause particular types of problem for him; if that construct of thought forms is a major and complex one, such as one that gives the impression of being an 'entity', then it is known as an elemental, and these can wreak all sorts of havoc for the target person and often other people too. Simpler thought form constructions tend to affect the target person in ways that open him up to a particular type of attack directly from the garbage - generally by setting up a troublesome and often concealed illusory reality within the person's mindspace, the garbage then using that plus some emotional button-pushing relating to the contents of that illusory reality in order to create and build up the feedback loop of emotional trauma energy that constitutes its attack."
Angeliki wrote about the elementals as well, and how they started to create havoc AFTER the era that humans started to overload the astral with all their negative emotions and thoughtforms. She called these "astral/illusory realities" skeptomorphs.

i once heard a domestic disturbance in my neighborhood, sat up to meditate to try to bring calmness, and when things quieted down, I sensed something like a dark “cloud” pass through my bedroom - as if it was the cause or result of that disturbance.
Another thought - could the law of attraction practices be what’s creating more of these “astral/illusory realities”, you think?

Another thought - could the law of attraction practices be what’s creating more of these “astral/illusory realities”, you think? Eckhart Tolle refers to this as a 'released energy field'. In A New Earth he relates a story of energy he released from one person which he felt 'followed him' into a restaurant and attached to a person with a compatible vibrational frequency, in his words someone with a 'heavy pain body'. This person then proceeded to cause quite a ruckus in the restaurant. Hopefully yours dissipated. Of course energy made manifest could be illusory projections / images.... or not. I remember walking in the 'Hanzel and Gretel' woods in Switzerland with my yoga instructor friend. She could see and feel all kinds of weird energies. I, on the other hand, saw and felt nothing. For me it was just a pleasant walk in the woods. I'm not sure about LOA and illusory realities. It may have some effect, although 'the garbage' would tend to latch onto (perhaps more correctly, make use of) more negative things. I personally don't like LOA, although I did go through quite a long period of working with it (rather ineffectively). I prefer to think in terms of creating. For me attracting has a feel of something outside yourself. And I feel it has strings attached. It seems to work particularly well for those who are 'playing the game' so to speak. Or maybe my motivations were incorrect or premature. My reasons for wanting a lot of money were so that I could help people and animals and of course have a pleasant stress free life myself (with lots of spa days), all outward manifestations.

I’m familiar with LOA, but never actively tried to do it.
The dark cloud I witnessed passed through aiming upwards. Hoping it dissipated too; but there were several happening in a certain timespan.
Another story I have was similar to your “walk in the woods”.
I’d been riding around with a pal, he asked a question, I’d answer. To me (back then), we were driving through patches of fog.
To him, he’d ask, it’d get foggy; I answer, it’d get clear. One question he asked, the fog got thicker. He asked “are you sure?” I thought harder - sure enough! I’d answered incorrectly!
It was about a sad family event. He had to pull over and cry about it. Me, I was not open to anything non-physical then (~40 years ago).

If I understand you correctly, your friend had a sense of a sad family event at that location... or was he thinking of a sad family event related to himself ? At any rate it reminded me of Philip Goddard's thinking that a ghost can be/include memory impressions of a past event. ghostAn elemental created, generally unawarely, by a person at the time of death. Contrary to popular belief, my own indications are that ghosts are NEVER actual earthbound consciousnesses ('spirits of people who have died'). In fact the moronic and pointless behaviour of ghosts really rules out any realistic possibility that they are actual consciousnesses anyway. An interesting point here is that a ghost (singular) can involve the manifestation of visual images or/and voices of more than one person, or/and indeed memory impressions of any past event. Indeed, I have experienced this myself, where, ascending the upper slope of the mountain called Rois-bheinn in the Scottish Highlands, I could hear the distant voices of two people talking together back down in the col that I had ascended from - the voices always stopping when I turned round to look for anyone there. I experienced that on visits over a fair number of years, and somebody else reported to me the same phenomenon in exactly the same place and situation. My own inner inquiry points to the voices as coming from a ghost, which had been unwittingly created by one person who died probably sometime in the 1900s, before the 1980s (when I started visiting Rois-bheinn). That person had become so emotionally attached to that particular spot that when (s)he died this elemental was left there, containing a memory of that person with partner somewhere in that col, talking together as they were having a lunch stop. Some people may well also receive other faint memory impressions that the particular 'ghost' elemental is carrying. Note that there is nothing intrinsically scary about ghosts. My best understanding is that in the odd situations where supposed ghosts are acting in frightening or indeed genuinely threatening ways, they are actually elementals deliberately programmed by 'dark' practitioners of one sort or another. Certain of those elementals could be hijacked 'ghosts', but generally they would not be ghosts at all, and indeed generally a hijacked ghost's ghost origin would be a non-scary aspect of its make-up.

Actually, the question that brought the “heavy fog” was whether I had any relatives buried in Connecticut. After thinking harder, there had been a cousin that was born that only lived 24 hours, and was buried in CT. The area we’d been driving around had had a death nearby, and there was a shooting range in the area; somehow I think those were related points. My impression was that my infant cousins soul may have been the same as the one that had been shot in that area (Mississippi) back then. As if it’s hard for [it] to stay embodied. My take was that the driver, my friend, was more sensitive to the unseen than I was, so he was the avenue for expression.

Another thought - could the law of attraction practices be what’s creating more of these “astral/illusory realities”, you think? In a way it does yes. JVP describes this in his first book. The idea that we manifest everything from our own power is not entirely correct. Yes, it is our faith and belief that can manifest many things, it is the very act of belief that energizes the spiritual nature of things and creates what we seek for. BUT our divine parents can see what the future brings and what might happen to us when we desire something. For example, you are looking for a job and you are so attracted to one job that is offered to you. Our F&M can see that for example something bad is going to happen to you when you would choose for this job or that the company will go bankrupt. Astral entities/dark forces can also look into the future and see what might happen and are able to make your desire manifest (without modification), meaning that these bad things actually will happen to you. Therefor when you have a desire and want to make it manifest, first of all never leave out the divine parents and secondly always realize your desire will manifest along with possible modifications. EDIT: It happened to me last year, I was offered a job and I truly thought this was the job that was written on me. So without any doubt and thinking it through I accepted the job. The job turned out to be full of misery and hardship. That is why we must be very careful in choosing what we desire. We can discern yes, but we cannot - with our basic 5 senses - feel out what is going to happen.

I could not help but become a little interested in Phillip Goddard and have been scanning some of his work. Then I found this gem and what comes to my mind is the realisation I had some time ago that I CANNOT look into the mirror, ie observe my reflection and AT THE SAME time consciously CREATE. It is IMPOSSIBLE. The World is a reflection of me. So if I would like to MANIFEST something the solution for ME is to totally ignore the mirror and just focus on manifesting what I want in the KNOWLEDGE and FAITH that it WILL show up in the mirror. If you look into the mirror you can try and do all sorts of things to change that reflection by rubbing on the mirror, cleaning it etc.. but the ONLY way that your reflection in the mirror will change is by changing YOURSELF... Well that was my two cents for today. Have a wonderful day . ---------- N.B. There is an inherent problem with forums generally, in that these are places where people discuss ideas. Unfortunately doing that is one of the myriad side-tracks that point people away from genuine self-actualization - for the 'forum-heads' forever consider and discuss other people's views and outlooks instead of turning to the one source of the vital information and insight that they actually need - their own deepest aspects. So, asking another person, for example, "What do you think of this fellow Philip Goddard?" may be a fascinating pastime, but that sort of behaviour is also a virtually complete block to any genuine self-actualization direction. I talk here NOT about right and wrong, nor "should" and "shouldn't", but simply of cause and effect. What do you want in your life - forever fascinating discussions relating to various notions of self-actualization, or genuine self-actualization itself? The two are virtually completely mutually exclusive.

OH MY GOSH WB, really? lmao, good thing I wasn't eating soup when I read your post. Myka posted a response to this in another thread from Barbara (a guest back then).
Mr. Goddard is not about looking at the reflection (for sure!!), but self-inspection. BUT If your house is dirty, you must first UNDerstand it is dirty otherwise the cleaning won't happen. Manifesting what you want also means knowing what you don't want (per the garbage).
Anyhow I now love Myka's post and Barbara's post from that other thread. Gosh, talk about circling around then back again...
There's a purpose for whatever you feel the need for (including this forum). It reminds me of folks who would tell me to not read books as a child and to go out and play. Somehow their definition didn't include my definition. Book reading IS play I always thought. Was I wrong all these years?

Post by Henrik on Sept 12, 2018 9:07:14 GMT
The problem lies in doing one thing to the exclusion of the other thing, e.g. constantly looking in the mirror. Ideally, you would not need the mirror, but let's be pragmatic, it's useful at certain times. Probably was the intended meaning too? Words are difficult, lol

Post by IW on Sept 12, 2018 9:28:03 GMT
I think another part of the problem is once you make a definition, there will be something that won't fit that definition, so for some the solution is to either NOT define at all, or continue to define without pause. Like you said Henrik, going too far in one or the other.
It's funny to me that some things keep popping up, like folks here are trying to find that balance. or is it more explaining whichever side they happen to be on at the moment.

I was going to put this under the Greek Lady Quotes but having read the responses (which does not guarantee that I fully understand the meaning / intentions of those responses ) to my last post this seems a bit more appropriate. ---------- –At the heart terminates what people call the ‘Silver Thread of Life’, or the ‘Thread/ Chord of Silver’. At the end of this Thread of life and inside the cardiac center, the Soul can be found, which sometimes carries inside it something even more precious: A Divine Spark; the second half of the split Celestial Man. The other end of the thread is connected to his ‘I Am Presence’, or his Higher Self. There, inside the foggy scenery of his subconscious, man will finally discover the guarded prison which holds his True Spirit captive. The oscillating snakes/ passions/ emotions, with their hissing voices cover the desperate call for help of the Spiritual Man while simultaneously guarding the entrance of the prison. Precisely at that point starts the second stage of the second phase of self-knowledge. From there, the man/ Hercules starts to carry out his labors one by one. This is a long-lasting period in man’s life and the only thing he does, is to battle with his own monsters/ snakes. This war does not have any rules. It is a raging close-up battle to tame and silence all oscillating ‘snakes’/ passions; they don’t die. So, what exactly happens when these ‘snakes’ hush? They remain motionless, thus narrowing the amplitude of their oscillation between the two opposite states. As we have said, the ‘formed’ weaknesses, passions, hatreds and envies generate oscillating emotions (snakes). When these weaknesses/ passions are tamed, they stop generating the bipolar emotional oscillations that ‘drive man crazy’ with their demands and they hush. This condition of silence is expressed in a man as emotional tranquility: he neither ‘loves’ nor hates. The mistake people often make in their effort to improve themselves is that they choose the positive views and reject the negative ones. They don’t realize that the twofold nature of matter will suddenly relocate them, thrusting them down to the diametrically opposite negative state, forcing them to start a new attempt again. And the endless circle never seems to end. People then reach the conclusion that man can never change· so they abandon the struggle, or look forward to an ‘upgraded’ consequent incarnation… The solution for man however, is to remain –as much as possible– un-oscillating in equilibrium.Anagnostou - Kalogera, Angeliki.

WB,
I was using the analogy of the definition of "fun" for the relatives who were telling me to get outside to "play", when my own definition of fun and playing was reading and using my imagination to create the characters in the book (which seemed way more exciting in "play").
This also pertained to the thread where Myka quoted the same quote that you just did:
I talk here NOT about right and wrong, nor "should" and "shouldn't", but simply of cause and effect. What do you want in your life - forever fascinating discussions relating to various notions of self-actualization, or genuine self-actualization itself? The two are virtually completely mutually exclusive. (from Mr. Goddard).
The idea of "definition" is NOT exclusive, no matter how clear an attempt may be, there will be someone who thinks on a different level from what was given (hence my idea of play ((reading)) possibly being wrong?). At least it WAS wrong in the idea of my relatives way of thinking.

from his site www.clarity-of-being.org/(affirmations) You and only you're responsible for your life and how it develops. Relying upon another person (no matter how 'great' or highly regarded) as some sort of guide / mentor / source of 'Truth' for yourself is a recipe for disaster, not enlightenment! The way forward is for you to use your own deepest, most aware discernment to enable you to use what genuinely takes you forward, and to filter out the rest.

The de facto situation is that what we perceive as the astral sub-reality is the aspect of subjective 'reality' into which we routinely project all our illusions, beliefs and distorted perceptions - BUT that is NOT its true nature or purpose! That aspect of consciousness is NOT, and never has been intended (i.e., by consciousness itself) for use by our 'ordinary mind' at all, and thus was never meant to be, nor to function as, any sort of 'reality' at all, no matter whether 'real' or illusory! Its real purpose is to be a much deeper-level and more expansive parallel of our conscious imagination - a sort of 'scratchpad' and working-out area in which deeper, subconscious aspects of our awareness can try things out as a deep and fundamental part of our creative process in the physical 'reality'. **** My comments: When I studied Robert Monroe or William Buhlman OBE stories, it was telling, I thought, at how vast and varied the Non-Physical world was. To me it's like having a whole new universe to explore. But to what end? If folks are just existing, as many are here, where is the meaning of it all? Why do anything? Just going to one country or another (ore one dimension or another) provides what, exactly? Without an actual purpose for going, visiting other places has very limited appeal. Is it moving me closer to self actualization? Now that'd be my first question for why explore.

I like this one too:
So, the practical point here is that the item in the Affirmations that is about disregarding and dismissing contracts is not meant to imply that any people at all with garbage / 'entity' problems are really bound by any supposed contracts from the past, and indeed it is intended to get people focusing on the fact that they are not bound by any such contracts that they may be claimed to be carrying, and there are actually NO such contracts to cancel. So, the relevant Affirmation speaks of disregarding and not cancelling. If you talk of cancelling, you're implying the existence of such contracts, and thus actually starting to create thought forms that give the illusion of your having such contracts where they didn't exist before.
Indeed, at every moment throughout the world the garbage is tricking people into agreeing to comply with it in one way or many, and may well seek to claim that the people are then bound by agreements or contracts that they made. But these are NOT valid contracts, any more than it is a valid contract when a rogue salesperson tricks you into signing a contract that supposedly commits you to paying your life savings to him or his rogue firm.
This has even more point when you remember what the true nature of the garbage and its manifestations is. Imagine that a virus on your computer tricked you into supposedly agreeing something with it. Once you realized it was just a virus (i.e., just a bit of malicious computer programming with no aware consciousness), would you really believe that you had made a real, binding contract with that virus or whoever it was representing? If so, just think of the fun you could have, making binding contracts with your washing machine, front doorknob (/handle), kitchen sink, dustbin, ...!
If you regard such 'contracts' as valid, then you're being your own most proficient enemy and saboteur! It makes sense, therefore, simply to completely disregard any claims that you have agreed to anything, because if indeed you had agreed to anything, it was through your being tricked or put under duress, and that doesn't make valid contracts.
You free yourself from any notional or postulated contracts simply by being clear with yourself that you completely disregard ALL claimed contracts (other than bona-fide ones with other humans, of course) as being invalid and not worth a second thought. Easy! You regain your power not by bargaining or working hard to cancel and annul something that is not valid in the first place, but by standing your full height and laughingly declaring "BULLSHIT!" and joyfully getting on with life and your self-actualization process without further consideration of any such contracts.

YES it is that easy
