Janthopoyism
Your Secret Weapon to Become the Most Enlightened Human in the World
Book 3: The Bridge of Receivings | Chapter 3.5 | 25 November 2020The previous three chapters collaborate as a holy trinity. Once you recognise that ideas are offerings from the Cosmos and you've opened yourself to receive them emotionally, you can start to train your mind to seek the specific ideas that resonate with who you want to be.
Now, intentionally invoking your favourite thoughts to fertilise your reality is liberating, but it's not an invincible forcefield. You can discipline your Gatekeeper all you want, yet when the conflict decides to come, it will come. The External Universe will turn to face you then blast down your Bridge of Receivings so fiercely that it will uproot the ground beneath your chosen focus and everything will tumble off the side. The conflict will always come. The conflict will always win.
It is inevitable. Life has a funny way of flexing authority, of demanding recognition, of proving to us that we are not in control, and reminding us that the fortune we have is just that: fortune. A gift from the Universe. Removable at any time. "God" owes you nothing, no matter how nice you are.
Thankfully, we do have one infallible secret weapon against this disturbance. And if we prepare our mental skillset to use it on automation, it raises us to the same vibrational level as the Universe itself, and therefore we become impervious to its charge.
And that is the art of reframing.
If you're gushing down the river of Life at full speed but tense up when you inevitably collide into conflict, your experience may resemble a crash into a brick wall. However, suppose you quickly shift your perception of said conflict. In that case, the wall will appear at an angle, providing a launching point where you maintain momentum and even increase altitudes.
One can embrace various go-to emotional reactions when initiating reframing, but the example we find particularly powerful is that of amusement.
You will hear scholars of spiritual movements describe enlightenment using multiple terms. Some consider this exploration to be one of discomfort or even immense suffering. Janthopoyism wholeheartedly rejects this as a tragically unnecessary viewpoint. True enlightenment is floating with the waves of zero resistance, enjoying the ride of the Universe, in awe that you are even allowed to take part. If you bump into emotional distress on your journey, it is because you have mentally veered off the track. If the pursuit of higher spirituality is nothing but turmoil, you are swimming in the wrong direction! Praise these moments, for they are lessons where you can practice sliding yourself back into the stream as swiftly as possible. Or simply let go! Either way, it's freaking beautiful and oh-so hilarious.
We appreciate that this is not always easy. But if you can prioritise your thoughts to test this method, you will discover that amusement can be an impressively effective defence against conflict. It is what morphs you into liquid and allows the world to pass through you. Remember what the Stoics taught. Material stuff will not make you happy, for happiness comes from the inside. Similarly, external circumstances cannot cause you to suffer; only your mind has the authority to accomplish that. Upset occurs when your brain takes Life seriously, and you forget the comical ridiculousness of the reality you are in.
Think about it: you are part of an evolutionary chain without the slightest idea of where it came from or where it is going. You were born as a lump of biological tissue constructed from atoms, each consisting of 99% "emptiness". External factors out of your control nurtured you to fit into complex ecological, social, economic, and political systems that you only questioned once you were already dependent on them. You wake up every day and perform tasks without knowing why they matter or if they even do. You are on a rock spinning in space at 1,670 kilometres per hour, lacking any certainty of how vast the Universe is or if the entire experience is a construct of your own mind. You will perish without ever acquiring these answers. You may pursue and ultimately uncover individual meaning, but when you die, it's gone. And what comes after this death is a further unknown still. Everyone you've ever met and everyone you haven't will follow this same timeline until the Sun swallows the Earth and the planet burns to dust with no consequence to the bigger picture. Every physical trace of your specific existence will evaporate into nothingness as if it were never there. Yet you are sad because your selfie didn't get sufficient attention today? It's absurd.
"The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without changing our thinking. If we want to change the world we have to change our thinking... no problem can be solved from the same consciousness that created it. We must learn to see the world anew." — Albert Einstein
For certain readers these revelations are anything but humorous and are instead existentially terrifying. If this is your case, perhaps reframe by seeking the beauty in troubled situations, opting to look in different directions, such as up into space or down at molecular structures.
Consider the incomprehensible combination of criteria necessary to summon your exact person into this reality. We will never know to what extent the hundreds of billions of trillions of stars in the Universe have grown similar life, but our miniature planet gravitated in just the right spot to maintain a temperature that allowed an ecosystem to flourish. Over its billions of years of evolution, the human monkey appeared, gifting secret hereditary codes to each generation, mixing it up to form brand new personalities to experience this realm. At some juncture many centuries ago, 1,024 humans started breeding, and they were your great great great great great great great great grandparents. This bloodline continued through a thousand more people until it reached your immediate parents, and their meeting alone could have easily been disconnected by the simplest of incidents. But they did meet! And of the 100 million sperm rushing towards an ovulating egg, the swimmer holding your unique genetic data made contact. From that single millisecond to the next, the chances of your measurably zero existence increased to significantly plausible. You have more probability of winning the lottery a million times over your lifetime than acquiring a lifetime at all.
Survival itself is also never a given, but here you are, feeling these feelings, thinking these thoughts, making you one of the uppermost luckiest stories of creation that the world has ever known. We, the alive beings, are an extension of a nature that has matured to its farthest point thus far. And we're expanding with it! To be a member of this frontline universal growth—and to be aware that you are a part of it—is a glorious position of all-encompassing gorgeousness, balanced within both the negative and positive. How lucky you are to be invited into the conversation! Your ability to be conscious of any overwhelmed sensation is a triumph of evolution!
If you're a student of the spiritual, cherish this miracle that Life has blessed you with. If you're a creature of science, then the sheer coincidental randomness of your ultimate being is unfathomable and should encourage only awe-inspired gratitude. The statistical chances of your presence are borderline impossible! The odds were stacked heavily against you! Or perhaps they never were, and your chances of existing right here right now were strictly one-to-one. The fact that we cannot prove nor disprove either only boosts the enigmatic quality.
Life is chaotic and unknowable to such a ludicrously limitless degree that to analyse your little conflicts as anything other than hilariously insignificant reveals a severe shortage of perspective. Instead, redirect every receiving as one of enjoyment. Appreciate, relish, and from there, a smile of upper-knowingness should follow without too much disruption. Transcend your concerns! Be honoured that the Universe has displayed enough interest in you to select your uniqueness to solve a problem that will benefit the rest of evolution for eternity. It's testing you! It's teasing you! It's playing a game! And once these disruptions are tickling your funny bone, then congratulations! You have mastered Book 3.
By genuinely governing your perception, you can beat God's every hand until it ultimately plays the death card, and you share a satisfied nod, acknowledging one another as worthy contenders.
J'oyists!
The name is our name because we honour a Universe that thrives on joy!
It is a high energy vibration that advances rapidly.
It is the emotional key to rectifying conflict by locating the most harmonious path to grow onwards.
It is the correct setting.
Simply put, the Universe is always laughing and always crying, a shifting harmony of emotional drive required for each side to progress.
Whether you tune into the laughter or the tears is your brain's decision.
But if you choose to cry, just know that Universe will laugh at you and then probably slap you around a little bit.
So perhaps you could try laughing with the Universe instead?

Janthopoyism is a spiritual philosophy meets self-improvement program.
We view the Absolute collection of all Universal Energy to be the highest power. You are part of that power. You are an extension of divinity.
The ultimate purpose of this power is to evolve, and we each have a unique part to play in this progression. The details of your role are relayed to you every moment of your life via emotional notifications.

This barrier is called "the brain".
But never fear! By utilising some very simple practices, you can open the flow of exchange, granting you access to the ether of infinite ideas, the infallible path of your guided destiny, and the recollection of your holiness.
Which is basically a wanky way of saying that your life is about to get a whole bunch better.
Join the movement before it becomes too mainstream.
