Welcome to the ION Concepts page.
Contained within is a more detailed and comprehensive look into some of the many subjects and concepts touched upon in the story-The Isness of Now. updated March 9.04

3 Fundamental Principles of The ION (the Isness of Now)

1. I AM.

2. I AM Here Now.

3. I AM God and God IS all that IS.

Taking a closer discerning look into the meaning of each, one can understand these Ideas and Principles as the only True statements one can make in this reality..


1. I AM- You ARE. This is a fact for you are reading these words and you ARE, as conscious awareness, witness to everything happening within and around you. Without all the labels such as your name, skin color, interests, habits and idiosyncrasies; without your job, your "stuff," your friends, and your family members, YOU still ARE. This said to your self as I AM, you are not the things apparently outside your skin, for you are the witness to them and they do as they do outside of your apparent control. The same goes for your Body and it's many functions, some of which work pretty well without any conscious effort on your part; it just works, containing your focused awareness, the I AM.

2. I AM Here Now- You ARE and seemingly exist in a reality governed by linear time, yet from an extra-dimensional standpoint, time does really exist. There IS only the NOW. There is no reality in the past and no reality in the future, other than endless potential energy. YOU exist Here and Now. YOU, that conscious awareness, witness to the world, are experiencing a constant and forever Now, and Here, from where you read this, are at the center of the Universe. The past is a memory of a previous Now, long gone and re-experienced only in distorted illusion. The future is the potential Now, the imagining of a different Now condition, a dream. At your center, the throne from where you "witness" your ever-present Now, let go of all sense of time and space and it will eventually become clearer and clearer that You exist Right HERE, Right NOW.

3. I AM God and God IS all that IS- The I AM that You ARE Here and Now; this witness to the world around you, exists outside of the world you so witness. This part of you- the Atman in eastern tradition, is your Higher Self operating in a higher dimension of reality, of not the physical, but spiritual Being. It is the force that "drives" you, the superficial physical you. That You is God.

God IS...
...Infinite existence, infinite consciousness, infinite love
...Pure potential energy constantly creating from nothing
...The nothing & the all, the beginning & the end
...All that ever was, IS, and ever will be
...The good/the bad, right/left, light/dark
...Alpha & Omega
...Yin & Yang

Everything and its opposition IS...
and YOU and God are ONE and the same.


Oneness always IS.

It is only your awareness of this Oneness that has been temporarily lost to you. Your individual being is a focal point of the consciousness of the All that IS, choosing to live as man/woman so that you, the Creator, can experience the grandeur of your own creation.

Cosmic Harmony - a must visit site featuring great resource information about enlightenment, nirvana, and the ultimate nature of reality. This site also has some great biographies, teachings and stories of our worlds Saints and Avatars.

"What is enlightenment? What is that state of Cosmic Consciousness, the ultimate awareness called variously - enlightenment, nirvana, satori, samadhi, self-realization, rapture, salvation, ascension, unity consciousness, voidness, and many other terms by many various religions? It is the goal of life, the ultimate destination of every individualized being. It is brought about when the individual personality ascends beyond the illusionary perception of self separateness to merge in the Universal Self from which it originated so very long ago. Spiritual evolution towards this goal takes place over ages but the final ascent of Spirit can happen in an instant of time". Excerpt from the site cosmic harmony.com

The Human Energy System - Also called the subtle body or "Light Body", consists of the seven major chakras, minor chakras at each joint, meridians, and the fields of electromagnetic energy surrounding the physical body, the Aura. The word chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning wheel or disk. It is, therefore, a wheel-like spinning vortex of energy which serves as a gateway between various levels of consciousness and dimensions of reality.

Solutions to the increasingly complex problems we face will not be found if we only look outside of ourselves for answers. We must also look within. A new, more comprehensive, encompassing, and integral approach is required - an approach that honors and embraces the exterior domains of human knowledge - science, systems, and technology - as well as the interior - morality, creativity, and spirit. At Magnetic Presence, we are dedicated to creating live events and media products that embody this integral approach in both form and content."

  • Verlaine Crawford - Verlaine is a speaker of TRUTH. here are exerpts from her book Daughter of God. "1.We are creators. We create our lives out of ideas we hold as beliefs and concepts about people and events. We create through our vision and imagination. That creative force is functioning at all times, whether we are aware of it or not. We can either consciously create a harmonious, joyful life, or we can unconsciously create a hit or miss, chaotic life. The more we see the relationship between what we are thinking and what happens to us, the more we can shift what we do not want into what we prefer. Many people become so engrossed in their drama, that they never consider that they could create a life of fun and ease.

    2. Within each of us, there are many sub-personalities who serve as the keepers of our beliefs. It is the job of these sub-personalities to prove that the belief they hold is true. These parts-of-us grab hold of an idea/belief through input from our environment. For instance, we might hold a belief that eating anything we like is the ideal. Yet, another part of you wants to go on a diet and lose weight. The one who likes to eat often wins. Within each of us can be many opposing beliefs: therefore, we move forward toward success and then find ourselves blocked. What you want turns into what you fear. The more neutral we can become, knowing what we prefer, but not holding onto "having to have it" or "fearing it will happen," we will allow ourselves to reach the highest goals.

    3. We are not separate from the source that is God. God, whatever you conceive that force to be, is tremendous energy which animates us, and it fuels our imagination and proves our beliefs. The energy of God is neutral. It is manifesting energy. Because we have free will, we can choose to listen to this positive energy or we can choose to ignore it. Those who ignore it are not allowing themselves to achieve harmony and balance in their lives. Those who choose to listen can accept their lives, in good times and in bad, - allowing for a fulfilling and harmonious life.

    4. We are each a soul with a body. We are beings of light, vibrating with iridescent colors that indicate our emotions. Within us, this light can illuminate in sadness or happiness, whichever we choose - this is the acceptance of a higher meaning of self. When we turn away from our Higher Selves, the full energetic beings that we are become limited and afraid. When we expand into the incredible love that envelopes us, we feel the God force that leads us toward completeness.

    5. Raise your consciousness, release negative energy and widen your awareness. It is similar to hiking to the top of a mountain where you can see a valley far below. At a greater height we have a much larger perspective. When we increase our vision, we have an unobstructed vantage point, and it becomes easier to let the positive energy work in our lives. It allows us to be the best we can, and it allows us to understand our own particular circumstances - with acceptance and happiness."
  • Conversations with God-

    - Official site. Conversations with God is a sequence of seven books written by Neale Donald Walsch. Each book is written as a dialogue in which Walsch asks questions and "God" answers. Walsch claims that these dialogues are truly inspired by God.

    CwG's Three Basic Concepts

    Containing over 720 pages of material in total, the trilogy presents a vast number of ideas. However, "God" in Book 3 presents three concepts which are central to the entire dialogue:

    1. We are all One.

    2. There's Enough.

    3. There's Nothing We Have [an obligation] to Do.

    The first statement is understood to mean that all things in the universe are essentially one thing: God. The second statement, following from the first, means that we, being one with God, lack nothing and therefore always have enough of whatever we need (or the means to create it) within us. The final statement combines the first two to conclude that God, being all there is and always sufficient unto Itself, has no need of anything and therefore has no requirements of humanity.

    Excerpt from CWG...

    "...What GOD chooses to do is to Know Itself in its Own Experience. This is God's holy purpose: to Know Itself Wholly.

    God can know Itself Conceptually easilly enough. God merely has to think about Itself. Yet for God to EXPERIENCE Itself, God has to encounter something that God IS NOT. Only through such an encounter can God experience what God IS.

    The condition, however, that is there is NOTHING that God is NOT. And, I will repeat, in the Absence of that which you are NOT, that which you ARE, is not.

    God found a solution in this situation, however. God reasoned that since NOTHING other than God existed, God would have to create something that APPEARED to be "Other than" God out of Itself. God did this by Dividing Itself into billions or More (actually, many more) smaller parts- each of those "parts" would be something "other than" the Totality of God.

    In this way, any individual part could know the Totality, and the Totality could know each individual part, and God could experience Who and What God IS.

    The Scheme was Ingenious, The Idea was most Brilliant, as befitting a God. And so, the Realm of the Relative was created, and along with it, relative experiance. Now , all of the "parts" of God can experience themselves as Who and What They Are in Relationship to Who and What everything "else" is, and thus know both the individuality and totality of God-the maginificence and the wonder and the Glory of the All, and of All That comprises the All in Its various Parts..."

Alternative Reality

  • The Deoxyribonucleic Hyperdimension - "We must discover new frontiers... People have been standing for centuries before a worm-eaten door, making pinholes in it with increasing ease. The time has come to kick it down, for it is only on the other side that everything begins."- Raoul Vaneigem
  • David Icke Homepage - Very interesting site from a David Icke's words are designed to inspire all of us to be who we really are, to fling open the door of the mental prison we build for ourselves and to walk into the light of freedom.
  • Beyond 2012 - This website has been set up as a database for information about the year 2012...In the next few years, there is bound to be speculation over the possible meaning of the so-called "end of the Mayan calendar", and there are already various theories circulating, from the catastrophic to the ecstatic.- as would be the case of "galactic synchronization", or a mass-enlightenment constituting our re-union with the ONE.

 

....Stay tuned for more stuff to pop up periodically.

 

You are like a single little wave, flowing into its next moment, becoming the sea. Each life, like the small wave, appears short-lived and finished upon cresting, yet the wave is water and indivisible from the sea, just as you are indivisible from Creation-the one true self of the All That IS.

 

Just as the clouds block the light of the Sun, so too does false perception cloud the radiance of the pure mind as it shines at the center of the All. There exists a veil of illusion covering the true essence and nature of reality. You created this illusion of separation upon the lower dimensions, for you to explore the many facets of creative free will.

You are quite literally God suffering from amnesia.

 

"We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience."

"So crucify the ego, before it's far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable."
Maynard James Keenan

"Spiritual force is stronger than material force; thoughts rule the world." Ralph Waldo Emerson
