There are a lot of things that I am grateful for and Thanksgiving, to me, represents that spirit to me. There are detractors of the Holiday (as there are for every holiday in our country) but to me Thanksgiving represents taking time to show gratitude, being thankful for the abundance we experience during the current year and spending time with the people we love.
I know that spiritually I hit a plateau....and I was integrating a lot of information. The way I view life has been changed dramatically over the course of the last two years. I wasn't really sure of these points of views or the spiritual epiphanies I had experienced until I heard them validated by various people recently. Gratitude First, I want to look at the concept of Gratitude which is something that I see reflected by fewer people. To me, this means that I need to start highlighting what I'm grateful and experiencing more gratitude for what I have. I find it easy to live in the future and be absorbed in the next achievement that I have set my focus on. Focusing on the next ting we want, the next job we might have, the next college course, the next book we intend to read, the next decoration we intend to buy or the next task we meant to complete...is interesting but it is also living in the future. For me, I have been very focused on having kids, everything that I have done in the last year has been primarily with the focus on trying to have a child. That it's taking so long is disheartening, that I've had so many set backs has been disheartening and that it requires me to have another hospital visit at the start of the year (which has been a trend since 2014) which is discouraging as well because it feels like I'm stuck in a looping pattern. I tend to do that or look back with longing even if the moment I'm missing didn't seem the greatest when I was in it. When I'm doing this I'm living in the past wishing I had things that I didn't appreciate in that moment now. The real trick to cultivating gratitude is to focus on the Now. What do I have now that makes my life pleasurable? What is it in my life that is going right and that is really good? I personally, have a lot to be thankful for in the Now. I have a husband that deeply loves me and enjoys spending time with me. I have a best friend that I message constantly throughout the day who is tremendously supportive of me and a network of friends that are there whenever I need them. I have two dogs who are fantastic companions (even if one is going blind) and two cats that are wonderful companions so I really can't fee lonely. I have a beautiful big home, which few people my age can claim, and I have a reliable vehicle. I am always fixing wonderful food that is delicious. I have a job I enjoy. I've reached a place from a spiritual and psychological point of view that is very healthy. The mixture is a bit potent of knowing that I cannot judge others, as I have been in their shoes at times, and at the same time knowing that I need to make the right decisions for me. There is a sense of understanding, of not trying to hard...but allowing things to come to me. Previously, I would push a lot a way for various reasons including a sense of being unworthy. I have accomplished a lot of inner personal work that has given me a great deal of peace and freedom to experience joy. I am even thankful for the experiences I have that were negative. The reason why is because it has given me some perspective and insight that I would not have had if I had experienced an easy shallow life. By diving deep into the darkest moments a person can experience and having to strive for things that come easily to others and others take for granted...and coming up eventually I have learned a lot about myself and other people. Life is really good at the moment. That's why I'm constantly telling people I'm fantastic and can't complain. I really can't complain with what my life is right NOW...because it's so much better than what most other people have. Abundance That word, when I hear it, evokes the idea of a cornucopia overflowing with fruits and vegetables. An extravagant feast featuring the products that we have labored over and brought to fruition over the year. (Note, I did not mention looking at someone else's table for comparison and thinking you wish what they had). Part of what makes it so satisfying is knowing that all that you have came from you and is the product of your own work or sacrifice. Yet, my favorite description of Abundance comes from Daryle Anka and Bashar. They describe Abundance as being able to do what you want when you want to do it. If there is only the eternal "Now" then all that matters at the moment is that you have what you want to do what you want to do...it's a very simple concept that causes you to be thankful for what you do have as opposed to what you don't. I have experienced a lot of synchronicity in my life that has caused me to see how I can achieve abundance then I did before. Previously, I thought to have abundance you had to work really hard at a goal and then you had to achieve that goal. For example, if you want to have a plant in every room you need to research plants to find out what you want to get for each room, find out how much the plants cost, save up the money for the plants and then go buy them. Strangely, I have found this year that it doesn't have to be that way. This took a bit of redefinition of the process. I learned to set a goal, or you might call it an expectation, and let it go completely trusting the universe will work out the details better than I can. Basically, releasing that expectation to a higher power. I didn't sit and do research and tell myself, "I will only settle for these plants." Instead, I thought, it would be nice to have a plant for every room. Then the opportunity came up, the florist at work offered for me to buy a cart of mixed plants, for an absurdly low amount of money. If I was going from the old approach I might have turned that down...instead, I saw it as an opportunity. Sure, some of the plants might not make it, some of them I might not like...but even for the few that did that price was so absurdly low how could I say no? Now I have a plant in every room. They are beautiful and the opportunity simply flowed to me. I have experienced this in other situations as well. When I set and expectation without getting specific about what I want...it just flows to me naturally without any work on my part. Going With The Flow Here is the epiphany I've had recently that I've been trying to wrap my mind around regarding how this abundance occurs. Because it goes against what I have been conditioned to believe by so many in society and what the majority of humanity thinks it's been a little bit difficult to process how to describe it in a way others may understand. The idea I see in my minds eye is standing in the flow of energy and that which I need is simply brought to me effortlessly as I learn how to float within the energy. This reminds me of a scuba class I took. We were required to "tread water" for an absurdly long amount of time. I know it was over thirty minutes and I think it was two hours. There were kids who were dog paddling the entire time. They were working up a sweat and tiring themselves out just trying to keep their heads above water. I asked the teacher if I could float and he said yes. I laid back and just enjoyed floating on top of the water. Effortless, easy, and so much more comfortable then those people who were dog paddling. This is how I see the two ways we can interact with the world. We are in an energetic spiritual matrix that wants to flow to us all that we want. Yet, because of conditioning and beliefs that other people taught us so many people believe that have to work really hard just to get the smallest reward. When we could be floating effortlessly. The beauty is that we have the freedom of choice. When we see someone suffering as they work, work and work at what they want...we can't judge them. They just haven't learned how to float. We can trust that they will at some point...maybe not in this life but maybe the next. There is no reason to feel guilty for having an easier life and you owe no one for a life that is effortlessly abundant. Appreciating Loved Ones There are so many people who have touched my life over the years helping to make me a better person. Showing love to those who appreciate us and support us is much like showing love for oneself. Much like a warm bed on a cold night it's needed for comfort and rest to simply celebrate important moments in our life this way. Love is an effortless thing when it is real and mutual. That's why it's so renewing to our spirit when we take time to have those moments instead of forcing them with people we hardly know or who don't appreciate us. There is no reason to force affection that doesn't come naturally or is not mutual. Conclusion I love the Thanksgiving holiday for what it represents to me in the Now and not the history or the traditions. That is all that matters in the moment and I love the Holiday for what it represents to me. There is so much to be Thankful for and so many reasons to take out time in our busy lives to be thankful for the Abundance that we do experience in so many faucets of our lives. Simply learning to appreciate what we have right now in this moment, to enjoy the comfort of the seat beneath our bottom, the warmth of a jacket when we are cold or the the pleasure of good company is more valuable then gold. Mostly, this year I'm grateful for the perspective that I have gained. I know that it is not all inclusive and that I have many more lessons ahead. I know that I have struggled against myself, mostly, and letting go of that need to struggle has been hard. Learning not to struggle and to go with the flow isn't a process I have completed but I think the gains I have made are worthy of celebration. I hope that one day soon more of the people I know will experience the peace of this process.

I'm one of those people that I'm a big fan that good prophecies and predictions are the cataclysmic ones that don't come true. I was planning on writing simple blogs on Negative Beliefs I've dealt with...but that has changed. Because I had something weird happen and if there is any way to avoid it...I believe it would be best if we did. My Dream I know, I groaned when writing that...people go on pretty weird trips when they attribute too much to their dreams. I have been working with my dreams for twenty years. Often dreams are personal. The cast and characters are all reflections of us. There are some dreams that appear to be pre-cognitive where we appear to predict the immediate future. Some are what I call "contacts"... characters that seem to be imparting information not reflecting personal aspects. I have identified different "tunnel" stages I experience when falling back into my body. The length of the tunnel and how hard I slam into my body or experience depends on the level of the dream. I usually become cognitive after the dream has started. Either way, the following dream falls into the third category of a long spiral tunnel to get back. So I consider that a contact or message from outside of myself. Here is what I wrote last night at 4am: "Look out the Earth is a killer, the moon says, as it dies in December. At first it will be a small blip. But in January..." In the dream I saw the Moon wobble just a little, not even a hairs breath...but it was enough to "kill it" and cause a cataclysmic ocean event on Earth. That's not very fun. January Event I have heard people talk about a January event. Something "natural.". Originally O dismissed it but it's come up three times now. The first was some random website that I dismissed out of hand. The second was from my mom, apparently they were talking about it at the Learning Light Center. The third was mentioned on Laird Scranton's Facebook page. At the time it did not resonate with me. Well, until that dream. Would that just be some weird association to be dismissed? NASA Mission Then I woke up this morning and read an article shared by Discovery Channel. Here it is: (http://www.seeker.com/nasas-plan-to-give-our-moon-its-own-moon-2098592108.html?utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_content=5831d69504d301351ef9b1a5&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook) I immediately went to the NASA page to verify what it said. Here that is and I'll see if I can insert the video: https://www.nasa.gov/content/what-is-nasa-s-asteroid-redirect-mission/ I sat back in dismay. Are these people really planning this? ​Could they be planning to do this in December? Here is the URL for the Vidoe:
Floating Out An Idea
Remember when the space shuttle went to the moon and brought back a moon rock? The Native American's warned against it. In previous missions, they shared it and then when people positively reacted we got a play by play of the action through the Discovery Channel. There is not date attached to this news. Most likely they are floating out the idea to see if they can publicise it...if there is too much hysteria they worn do it openly. No one is saying the event is happening in December from what I can tell at this moment. Given that the mission article was written in 2015 and they want to visit the rock in the middle of the 2020's...the estimated time of the mission as 2017 seems about right. Further, with the moon the closest it will be until 2034 years...it's a ripe time when communications with the satellite will be optimum and within a rare communications range they won't be able to access for another thirty years. From An Engineers Perspective My husband who works on things like this...has the opinion it should matter or have a negative impact. He said that it's not a large rock, it will be entering low orbit and will be similar to satellites that we have orbiting Earth. Fixed Points I won't lie, I think we missed a Dooomsday scenario with Hilary Clinton. I'm hoping the Electorate college sticks with Trump for that fact. In my opinion, Some people being mildly uncomfortable with their feelings about society far outweighs the ideas of millions of painful deaths from an atomic war. However, it seems, as we are at that cycle of destruction and rebirth at the turning of the age (last time averted by the self-sacrifice of Jesus and his followers) is insisting on being played out. Perhaps it's like the Time Master in Legend of Tomorrow says or what Dr. Who says...there are fixed points in Time that must happen and will find a way to happen no matter what. One disaster averted and now we want to play with asteroids. The ballet of events- a landing that doesn't alter the course of the asteroid...and then successfully sending it into a low orbit around shouldn't disturb the moon. We know the moon controls the tides and, in turn, the weather on our planet to a certain degree. Only I really don't know that the Satellites don't have impact on our planet's gravity and path through the cosmos. I haven't looked at any studies regarding that one. I don't know. I haven't studied the subject to know enough to even begin to claim to have an idea. Atlantis Scenario I do know from reading about Atlantis, mostly based on Edgar Casey's account, that if it exited it died because of a similar situation today. Yes, it was probably a comet impact that sent the final island of Atlantis into the sea but the situation started long before that one. The politics were a mess with the Sons of Baal and the Sons of the Law of One fighting own another. The people were using technology in a way that was destructive and had an adverse effect on the planet. They called down a comet because their emotional state was so acute. There is evidence in the rocks and fossil accounts to confirm that at the end of the younger Dryas there was a comet impact. Random Conversation Even weirder is that yesterday I was telling a friend named Courtney about the January concern among psychics. I mentioned California and flooding. Now, we could say that is the association with the rains but then I said... "I will blame the Liberals for pulling down a meteor like what happened with Atlantis if it's that..just because they are so miserable with Trump doesn't mean they should destroy all of us." I was saying that in jest but...really? Conclusion At the end...this was just an odd series of events. The fact that I had this dream and had no idea about this project alone is a bit staggering... I am sharing this in the hopes that nothing will happen. With the idea that sometimes talking about something prevents it from happening. Yes, superstitious maybe but...why not if it helps? No doubt if NASA intends to do this they will...that lite blip might go unnoticed and January might be very interesting. I've learned not to discount possibilities. ​ So, it is in the hopes of sharing this to diffuse and prevent it from happening then to cause alarm. Could I possibly just have tuned into reading that article and my reaction? Possibly. ***Personal Update*** Most likely this was a symbolic and prophetic dream for me. During this time I experienced a shift in my thinking. The Moon often rules the subconscious and oceans/emotions. This past January was a big milestone where I kept my balance on a spiritual level for the first time. The first quarter of the year always floods me with energy for some reason. In previous years I practically drowned. This is no longer the case.
A lot of people see me as a cheerful happy person with a bubbly personality.
When you meet me and I greet you with a cheery, "Hello!" it's easy to imagine I've had a coddled life. That enthusiasm so many people think is naivety is simply love for life and my fellow human beings no matter how wretched they might feel or behave. I have not been coddled. At eighteen I was out to prove myself and I was loading trailers with the boys including some hardened gang bangers and druggies...sometimes faster then the boys. I'm not sure how that happened...I just had a lot to prove. I didn't use my gender to explain why I couldn't do things...I just had the idea that no matter what I could make whatever I did work. That's why supervisors would come to me and ask me to fill the last four walls of a trailer with as much as I could...and I would say. "Yup, I can do it..." and against all rational odds at that...I don't know how I did...I just did. I have had horrible experiences. Yet, I don't want to go into them. Sharing experiences is important, to let them out, admit them and then to adapt so that life becomes normal with them. You can't let go of horrible things that happen, because you learned from them but you can prevent them from happening again. At the same time, to dwell on them does no one any good. These are might simple rules for keeping myself positive when everyone else is dark...when other people are resorting to name calling and negative labels. Everyone has opinions. Nothing, no amount of social engineering or shaming will alter that from happening. The best thing is to change yourself...lead by example as Yeshua taught and rise above this darkness within your heart...finding the light within during the darkness is the way to truly being enlightened...enlightenment never comes from without but within your heart of hearts. Indulge Yourself I'm not talking gluttony here. Don't go out and buy an entire chocolate cake...then eat it just because a nail broke. If your Dad died though...go for it. I'm not going to stand in your way. When you experience deep and profound grief it's hard to sit down and just let it run it's course like a might emotional river that's sprung it's banks. Sometimes, a piece of chocolate cake or really good ice cream is a perfect compliment. Some tears, and each little indulgent bit...eases it somehow. The key is not do it for everything...to keep it to specific situations- times of extreme grief or extreme happiness. I know, it's strange to put both of those together...but emotions are like that because the association will lead to a balance between the two. When you're eating that cake thinking about the most terrible awful thing that could have happened...that did happen...you also feel the mix emotional memories of every personal victory that you have celebrated the same way. That makes it bitter sweet but it gives you hope...there are absolutely amazing fantastic days that happen against all odds...and days that are not so good. In some situations, for me, it's just as indulgent to lay in bed all day reading a good book. The idea is to associate certain rewards with certain situations. The more positive associations the better when your down and decide to indulge. Taking out time to appreciate yourself can be one of the most beneficial remedies for finding positivity. Complimenting Others I'm not kidding. If you want to feel good about yourself compliment random strangers. "Oh but that takes energy and I don't feel very generous with mine right now." Okay, if you're in saver mode and you just can't muster that's fine...crawl back into bed and read the above passage again. Pay attention to yourself, fulfill your emotional needs in whatever way you can to get to the point where you can go back outside.... Then get out and do something... If you see someone wearing a pretty necklace or who as a pretty ring...tell them as much. If they are dressed in a gorgeous outfit...tell them. Too often we don't compliment people when we think of it...you would be surprised how often after complimenting someones pretty dress how often they will wear it. Doing this to random strangers is even better. Yes, it can be appear creepy with the opposite sex....but for the most part people won't be freaked out. Especially if you keep it to normal interactions such as the cashier at the check our at your favorite grocery store, your favorite bank teller or the local Gardner who has an awesome truck. By complimenting other people you can see their moods completely change...it elevates them and you get a little boost yourself. After complimenting people all day and watching their delighted reactions it's really hard to be negative. Focus On The Locals In today's world we can become so fixated on what's going wrong with the world. Those poor people in Bosnia, Texas, or heck Canada. Poor poor Canadians... We focus so much on people we don't meet and don't know...on natural disasters that never happen where we live...crime that doesn't happen where we live...that the world can look like it's the Apocalypse. I bet if we took someone from the 1950's and showed them the Fox New's cast from just today, then dropped them back off int he 1950's and left them there...they would never have children because the future looks so bad they couldn't subject their children to such a miserable fate. Yes, all of that terrible stuff could happen to you... Yet, most of the time it doesn't. Most of the time you don't even know the people involved...you weren't there so you didn't witness it and for every event there is usually five different stories or perspective that vary widely based on the individual. Yes, you should care that people are hurt. Yes, you should stand up to unjust grievances and evil when you witness it...but if you don't I'm not certain you'll really have an effect on the suffering people. Yet, often when you donate the money goes towards some huge corporate non-profit that has a CEO earning millions or billions. So, while you might think you're supporting change you're just supporting that CEO by a personal jet. Stop listening to all of this terrible stuff happening to people you don't know. As an agent of change you realize you can't change that. What you can change are the people you do know and encounter every day. When you are a witness or party to such behavior you stand up and say no. I guarantee if you seek proof that some group hates you in some form you will find it with access to the Internet. There are Billions of people out there and somewhere someone is going to not like you based on some vague judgement without knowing your entire story. You don't get to plead your case to everyone you meet...so don't listen to everyone's opinion. The only thing that matters are the experiences you have in your life is in your immediate reality that you encounter every day and you can affect your reaction to it 100%. Bad Things Happen To Everyone If bad things happen to you it's not your fault. Nor is it the fault of other people in many cases they were originally victims who didn't know how to deal with the trauma and pain in a healthy way. They lash out at others in some attempt to bring people down to their level. Don't let them. There is no cosmic force that requires you to be tortured or punished or anything like that for any reason. In fact, as a cherished cosmic spark of the All-That-Is you have infinite potential. Most of the time bad things happen because you've had wake up calls. Wake Up Calls are upsetting, they tell you when you were on the wrong path. They tell you when you're not fulfilling your potential. If you ignore the small signs they just get louder and louder until you're left a deafened crumbled heap. That's part of the learning process on this planet and there is no reason to be bitter. I believe that we have infinite time to learn these lessons. I could say that with the potential existence of past lives we have many lives where we were the princess, the pirate, the good guy, the murder and the thief. We've exploited others and been exploited. We've lived lives of sacrifice and lives of indulgence... Yet, that won't comfort most. All I can say that Bad Things happen to everyone and you can't let it define you. Unhappiness, hate, fearfulness...that's all a choice. The Power of Choice A lot of people were raised by their parents in a way that violated their sense of choices. They were told for certain reasons they had no choice. When they said no their parents didn't listen. That's hard programming to over come. Part of learning about yourself in an intuitive way requires that you process your beliefs. What beliefs serve you...which ones other people gave you...and which ones are your own. Then when you identify a belief that does not really represent what you want...you Let It Go. A belief I held was that because my daughter died I had no right to ever be happy again. This belief came mostly from examples I had as a child in various forms from people I knew to the media. As soon as I realized how this belief was harming me...I let it go. I simple symbolic situation where I sat down, wrote the belief down on a paper, and then burned it (safely) in a bowl...and just the act of choosing not to believe gave me freedom. You have a choice to go through, identify beliefs that you have and let go of them. You might think that you can't be rich...because rich people can't go to heaven. I use this as an example because this was the reason Edgar Cacye was given for why he never seemed to be able to make much money. As a self-fulfilling prophecy you will never be rich because you are doing everything in your power not to be because you want to get to heaven. Let it go...that's someone else's belief from approximately 1900 years ago. Let alone I think this line has been grossly misinterpreted because Yeshua also spoke about the beliefs that people had that were self-fulfilling prophicies...but that's another story. One of the reasons why Faith Healing's worked in Yeshua's time was because the people BELIEVED it would work. He often says that he didn't heal the people but their choice to believe did. You can harness the power of belief for yourself...I can't promise that you won't face disappointment. The Small Stuff Finding a missing ring. A friend finding a Starbucks Gift Card you thought you had lost. Thinking one day, it would be nice to have a plant in every room of the house to help improve ambiance and air quality...and then boom having the opportunity to purchase more plants then you can handle fulfilling your desire... These have all happened to me and I consider them small little miracles...small little blessings... I don't pursue them because if I did they most likely wouldn't happen...as I would be looking for them to happen in a certain way. Finding a soul mate, I had given up all hope of meeting anyone who could fulfill all of my expectations...and when I gave up he walked into my life. A friend gave up on having kids...and had her miracle baby. Focus on the small stuff that does work out, not the major obstacles you face...because those major obstacles probably exist because those goals you've set for yourself aren't meant for you. Once you stop looking at the road block and start meandering down the path that it diverted you onto a wonderful thing happens... When you start appreciating the small little things...everything else falls into place in a magical way... Life starts to become effortless. Yes, sometimes you have to pull up your breaches, put on some butt-kicking boots and venture into the unknown...but the funny thing is that's why our souls are here...we like the unknown, we like the challenge...that's why it can be so frustrating when an introvert like me stops adding new experiences to my life. Conclusion There are a lot of ways to be positive in life. Let go of what is not yours or not meant to be yours. Embrace the small little miracles life has to offer. Focus on your day to day interactions not on people some distant place where you are not but in every little moment...every little interaction you have with even the person you might consider utterly insignificant to your life. That's how you can be an Agent of Change. We touch hundreds of lives every day, in small ways, you choose if you leave a negative thought in their mind...or you're the reason they wake up tomorrow. Fear and Hate never encourages anyone to wake up in the morning. Love and kindness...does...and in your actions every day in every moment you can express love and kindness to others. You never know, maybe your seemingly insignificant compliment to that clerk the fast food store prevented him from committing suicide, or tell a little girl at the story she's pretty after you just heard her mother screaming at her for misbehaving might leave an impression of kindness that alters the choices she makes in her adult life... Where there is Love there is Hope...and the one thing we really need to do in 2017 is really love each other with all of our flaws, ugliness, and imperfections...as much as we can. Maybe that guy with all of the tattoos looks scary but he would give you the shirt off his back if he knew you needed it. Maybe that guy who is so scared of gays is afraid he's gay on some level and never dealt with that question because it was so unacceptable to the community he grew up in. The only thing that defuses fear and hate is love and understanding. As Jesus said in Matthew 5:44: "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you..." As a Spiritual Person who believes that all systems are valid and lead to the same Source...what does Christmas mean to me? I mean after all, I see Buddha as equal to Christ when it comes to wisdom. To me the fact that Jesus might or might not be the Son of God doesn't matter as much as what he taught. Which was completely based on love and compassion which share a lot in common with Buddhism which existed in his day. Silent Night At the end of the day when Silent Night comes on I always shiver a little. Just the sanctity of some of the Christmas songs represents a sense of connection to the world itself. The meaning behind it doesn't really matter as much as the intention to me and the yearning to connect to a Higher Power. Everyone can respect those two things. Materialistic Aspect There is a lot in Christmas that I consider tradition that were based on Marketing. Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer started off as a marketing promotion by Montgomery Ward. Frosty the Snow Man was created by a musician to sell some albums. Santa is inspired by St. Nicholas but has become a magnet for kids at malls. I'm sure that there are some who let this part of the Holiday tarnish their view of things. Certainly the stress in retail jobs goes up during these times, as well as other industries like shipping and major suppliers such as Amazon. Things get a little more stressful because of all of those demanding shoppers! Yet, it's awesome for our economy. Most companies make the most profit during the holidays. That's a pretty dependable cycle which is good. Traditions My favorite part are the traditions. Taking down all of the decorations in the living room and replacing it with Christmas decorations is one of my favorite. The smell of old newspapers form the Santa and Mrs. Clause that have been in the family for over thirty years. The sight of each year bulb from the time I was born and the memory of buying it. All of this adds up to a sense of something special, something warm, bright and deeply meaningful. There is a lot of love in every decoration since it was a gift and a lot of meaning. Gift Giving My favorite part of Christmas is the gift giving. I've always baked cookies and treats and given them to everyone...even my Muslim and Buddhist friends. Unlike on someone's birthday each person is buying a thoughtful gift for one another. There is a sense of community upon opening presents with friends and family that hardly exists elsewhere. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, for example, really captures the Spirit of the Season. Conclusion My favorite parts abut Christmas is the rich traditions and the gift giving. Finding that special Christmas gift for a friend or loved one is what gives me purpose and great joy throughout the year. I've been finished with Christmas shopping since October. I love picking up little stuff throughout the year. Christmas is a time to be thankful, to enjoy family, relive happy loving memories and to shower affection on others. Sure, it's not all religious, and it's a little bit of marketing but I think that adds to the appeal. This allows for laughter and fun instead of being really solemn. This allows everyone to participate. In recent years people have criticized Christmas and really disassembled it but...at the end of the day it's the brightly lit homes, the Christmas trees full of meaning, and the well thought out gift that delights another person that holds the most meaning for me. The Christmas Spirit just catches on and it doesn't matter who you are or what your religious beliefs are it's hard not to be caught up in the joyfulness. There are deeper traditions that Christmas probably stems from but these are the things that matter most to me and why I love Christmas. The smile it brings to the faces of the people that I know make it so worth it...and it is that Love, that Giving, and that Kindness that all of us need so badly right now.
Keep in mind the above video was from July.
​​ I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Here is why I am very happy that Hilary lost. This is the last post about the election I will share. From here on out I am going to focus on Christmas in my personal life. Turn of Your Television Turn it off. Right now it's worthless. We are going into a third year of a fake race wars. They are trying to say it's the apocalypse and the "Russia" is evil revived Cold War mentality that NATO wants as a solution to the European Economic problems. Start doing your own research. Read the leaked Wikileaks documents. The media is only spreading hate. This is widely accepted so why are you still watching it? Hilary Wanted War In her debates Hilary said she needed to get "Leverage over Russia," and she said she wanted a "No Fly Zone" which Obama avoided on purpose because he believed it would lead to war with Russia. People were trying to say that we needed to base what Hilary would do based on what Obama did. Unfortunately, this doesn't work. She wasn't the president. As Secretary of State it was not her place at all to say who we were going to war with. That was not her job and not the power she had. Second, Hilary voted for the Iraq war. That's why she lost to Obama eight years ago. Third, her accusations about Trump being in bed with the Russian smacks of the Cold War Era and McCarthyism. There was nothing to back this idea up on any level other then Putin stated that if Hilary won it would be war. Fourth, Clinton wanted to do a "counter cyber attack" against Russia claiming they were behind the Wikileaks information. Well, the Wikileaks founder is currently in the Embassy of Ecuador in London. He's Australian. There is nothing that even slightly suggests he has ties to Russia or would work for Russia. Fifth, we know for a fact that there is a General in the UN who pushed for war with Russia. Sixth, we know that NATO is pushing for war with Russian. Hilary, ever proven to be the follower of the old way and old deals would have gone along with that perfectly and she was singing their tune in the debates to prepare the United States for war. Seventh, watch her talk about Libya. When she and the group she was work with had Gaddafi assaisnated there is a tape where she said, "We came, we saw, he died." Then she laughed (https://youtu.be/FmIRYvJQeHM). (https://youtu.be/vdM0nt2Aksk) I am not one for conspiracy theories. Yet NATO has come out and openly said they want war with Russia. Again and again, War has been the answer to economic stagnancy in this country since the days of Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Just remember it was when his son Quinton died in war that his health went south and he died soon after. His idealistic silver spoon fed nature didn't allow him to contemplate that a member of his family might one day die horrifically during war. Once he felt the common pain of the populace it killed him. The Iraq war was about that completely, stimulating the economy, and that's why Hilary was all for it. Eleanor Roosevelt turned her attention the the Middle East at the end of F.D.R.'s life...she wanted to make the desert bloom. We've made it bloom with bombs. She knows this is the strategy but it is a temporary band aide suggesting we just need to keep making wars to stimulate the economy with the blood of thousands. How on Earth can anyone defend voting for this woman? How on Earth can you cry that this woman lost? The People Chose To Reject The "Establishment" This vote didn't go as I expected. I expected people to stay the course and vote for Hilary. A very large group of people also expected that and didn't vote. So, the people who were motivated were the Trump supporters not the Dems who were guaranteed success. If a Democrat had one it would have been a potential 16 years with only one group running the country. That alone would have been bad. Even though I believe both parties become the same party when they actually reach Washington DC. This country was born on the idea of not having Royal Families or legacies. Continually voting in Bush's and Clinton's is a terrible idea. Sure you could see it as "name recognition" and a "brand" but that's corporate business talk (which is highly influenced by psychology). Yet, do we need 'presidential' families? No. The key thing is that the closest thing to a Third Party Candidate was elected. The mold has been broken. The Republican party has forever been changed. The Democrat party is disillusioned with their own system where Hilary was allowed to rig the DNC and steal the vote from Bernie. Maybe Bernie would have won. The two party system is over. That is tremendous...this is a change that is very positive. Far more positive then anything supposedly embodied in electing a specific gender. Trump has said he wants to scale back the army. He has talked about getting new equipment for them but he hasn't really publicly come out and said that he will not scale back the military. He has certainly come out and said he doesn't want war. Like Obama who didn't want his tenure marred by war that was too obvious like Bush Jr....Trump is unlikely to go down that course. So, Reps and a Silent Majority who voted for change with Obama and then voted for change again with Trump elected someone no one expected. Trump was just a symbol for the disaffected people who don't want to be dictated to by the Deep State or the Establishment. Is he a Wild Card? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Prophecy Alright, so here is the deal people. The best written prophecy prevents the cataclysmic future instead of just predicting it. Lots of prophecies say that we should either be in a third World War By now or by 2020. Guess, what, that spans this next presidential cycle. John Titor states that it's Russia, China and Iran by now. Edgar Cayce flagged Russia and China. The war was supposed to happen before this and the time span where it is a 'possibility' is waning. We hit a turning point in 1998...and each year sense then that we have not gone into a war the further we have from that possibility. In Hopi Prophecy this third "world shaking" was to signal the end of the Age of the Animal and the start of the Age of the Human. There is no coincidence that the Prophecy of the Eagle and Condor has come to fulfillment in North Dakota over an oil pipeline (a symbol for the Establishment). This is the defining time. This is the time when we decide if we decimate the planet and ourselves through nuclear war. An Urgent Effort of the Future? This may be more applicable to a hypothetical fantasy book. I can't claim this is true. I know it's off in woo woo land. Yet, it's worth looking at and contemplating even if it is fantasy. Yet, this idea is what I received on a personal level with a very irrational thought I had after watching a movie. That thought was, "We have done it, we have changed the future. We have saved humanity." Bashar states that there was an effort from another Timeline, by the Grays who are actually future humans, to change the outcome of our Timeline. They had a nuclear war that destroyed the planet and drove them under ground. Leading to a lot of mutations which led to genetic manipulation that led to terrible mistakes where they basically sterilized themselves far into the future in exchange for having a hive mind and made themselves look less than human. John Titor has a future history much like Bashar's. His Timeliine is already very different from ours based on the fact that he unintentionally interfered in ours. But it's the same story...there was as World War Three...atomic bombs were launched and the major cities of the United States were nuked by Russia. So, we know two alternate realities. We know that there might have been an effort on multiple levels to save the Earth from this catastrophe. The Timelines idea is coming out in fantasy and sci-fi shows like crazy. Flash, X-Men Days of Future Past, Star Trek (the reboot), and more that I can't think of at the moment. Maybe it's just a cheap way of rebooting at this time...but maybe not. An Unlikely Timeline Three major things that seem to go against all reason have happened....Brexit, the Cubs winning the World Series and Trump winning...the most unlikely of events have occurred. If we were to look at the stream of humanity, see where the herd mentality will take us next...none of this could have been predicted. The media and government are not dictating the collective unconscious. Is it the internet that turned the tide? I don't know, maybe it's like the tumblers in a lock finally clicking into place as all of the pieces come to the right position and only an expert locksmith can hear it. Yet, it's there...all of this unlikeliness...big enough even for people who don't normally care to notice it. Just similar enough to ours but just different enough from the status quo for some people to be horrified. Splitting Timelines I've been talking about the splitting prisim for years. Bashar talks about it and Dolores Cannon talked about it...Jamie Sams calls it the Whirling Rainbow Dream....The Hopi Prophecy Rock indicates this and the Great Pyramid Timeline indicates this. Bashar described it as two trains leaving the same station. One train will continue along a very different course that will lead to contact with "aliens." Another will continue on the same path that will "not end so well." The culmination of both occur by 2020. How do you know when you're on the right "train"? Well, when stuff that's very unlikely happens I think it's an indicator. There will be one group who wants change...who will continue to clickty clack down the track going, "Holy Crap, this is new! Holy Crap this is different too!" Another might have been delayed but the script is the same..World War Three and the end of humanity as we know it. Riots, famine, and disease. Next year will be where things really click into place. The tumblers dialed in by our Higher Selfs will lock us into the ideas we've embrace and the futures we've chosen to experience. Choose Not To Be A Robot I've talked about labels dehumanizing people. I've talked about how school is a way to brain wash people and that it turns us all into "Another Brick In the Wall" as Pink Floyd so perfectly captured. At work in the Service Industry people talk about the fact that Robots could replace us so easily. So few people want contact with humans outside of their inner circle. Yet, while a small choose to go to the machines the majority continue to go to real people. That's kind of like calling somewhere and encountering a recording...it's a disgusting frustrating situation. I refuse to be labeled. I refuse to let people tell me that I have must think a certain way based on my skin color. I am not a Robot and I will not comply with the Narrative that other people are creating. Thus, I am creating a narrative here on my blog. This is my reality. This is my action to spark manifestation of the world that I want...where there is peace and not group vs group. Where each individual is respected as the unique expression (or shard) of All-That-Is. Conclusion I don't know whats going to happen next really. I know that the chance of World War 3 is far less. I know that the world is just that much closer to World Peace. We might have an economic collapse as the interest rate is raised. We are entering an unknown...where the only thing to expect is the unexpected. I embrace this completely and wholly. I reject people who refuse to look at the big picture because they are fixated on branches on specific trees. I am sorry for those of you who were not prepared for a new paradigm and unable to give room to something new insisting it might be some doom and gloom scenario from the past. So with this I say turn your eyes to Christmas and the spirit of that season... I wish you a very Merry Christmas...but I'm making a promise to myself to watch this stuff unfold without comment for a bit. I will be writing blogs on other subjects but no more politics or prophecies for a bit. You are making the choice of what future you want by our actions today. May you choose kindness. May you choose love. May you choose faith in the common man. May you choose peace. May you refuse to comply. You'll be reading this the day before the election October 7th 2016
Today I'm going to write about a theme that I've encountered. That theme is reclaiming Hope. I could go through the entire process where I've seen this over and over again...but that trail doesn't matter. There is a pattern where we bring ourselves to the bring over and over again almost to stare down our mortality...and how that it is possible for us to overcome this self-destructive narrative we have created. The Spiritual Google All of us have a concept of how Karma works...these days it's part of our every day vernacular...strangely it wasn't prior to the 1930's. There was this whole Eastern meets Western Philosophy Spiritual movement that changed how we approach the world...but you can look up those details on your own. The energy we put out into the world is what we get back. What we think becomes our reality. I've explained how this is reflected in the Psychological concept of the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. Our subconscious works to makes sure that the reality we perceive reflects our beliefs and feelings that we hold in our mind. I have another way to explain this and it's like a Spiritual Google. We are constantly sending out energy with our thoughts and it's like a google search. If we are dreading something happening we sit there and dwell on it but then we are surprised when it does happen. Yet, the energy we are adrift within can't distinguish what we do or do not want to happen. That's why when we resist something it persists. This is like going home and googling every day about the candidate you like least for this presidential election. You dig up all of this dirt on them and you can feel the fear coalescing inside about what might happen if that candidate wins. What you don't do is convey to google the reason you keep looking up this information. That you don't want this to happen. The service then starts suggesting ads and links to websites that only cause your anxiety to grow because politics excites you (which on a basic level it does but it's an undesirable excitement). That's a little how the universe works. Too often we focus on what we don't want to happen. We dwell on the negative things that have happened, perhaps hoping to prevent them, and we inevitably get what we are thinking about. Then we see that as proof that how we were thinking was right and it reinforces a negative cycle of lessons. The important thing is to bring this to the forefront of our conscious. To start to work with this idea and send different signals to the universe. Instead of constantly searching for our greatest fears we start to dream again about our greatest Hope. The Hope of the 1980's There was a lot of Optimism in the 1980's. Back then if you went into Tomorrow Land at Disneyland you could go on a space mission to Mars, or Star Tours, or experience Tron. You would even go on a circular ride called America sings that depicted different groups and time periods singing together in unity. Watch an episode of the Jefferson's you will see that there was an idea of positivism. Our homes would be in the sky, we would have flying cars and robot maids that would make our life a little bit easier by doing all of the chores we don't want to do. When did that Hope fade? The eighties also produced movies like Terminator (which came out in the eighties as well) where creating artificial intelligence triggers the Apocalypse but it was rare back then. Now there are numerous movies and shows out now where people describe humanity as a plague that needs to be washed away...whether through a robotic apocalypse, a virus or some other means that we create ore unleash. Where did we lose Hope? When did a post-apocalyptic future of gloom capture the imagination of humanity? Finding Hope Again Overwhelmingly, it is clear that humanity goes through cycles. The cycles have been acknowledged in Fashion but not so much in history or other areas of human experience. Although, as I pointed out they have been talked about a lot in Spiritual Teachings and many of them have that cycle ending now. Many attributed it to a certain year, 2012, but that's not how humanity works. If everything interesting happened in a year it wouldn't be much of a process. We have been led, consciously or unconsciously, by people to give into these dooms day scenarios. By focusing on the very small fragment of humanity that is vile...we don't feel safe. This leads to people giving up their freedom in exchange for promised security by people with negative selfish agendas. Yet, there are far more people who are honest and good working in the light then those who bow to darkness. I have met a small handful of people who were entirely evil and dark...but I've met several hundreds who are amazingly awesome wonderful people. I cannot help but believe based on my personal experience in my small pocket of reality...that we, the positive ones, overwhelmingly out number the negative. We just have to remember that and how this works. We need to stop focusing on the "Bad Guys" paraded across our television screens. We need to focus on all of the people who are blessings in our lives, they might disappoint from time to time, but they do have good intentions in their hearts. If you were to place four people against a hundred in a fighting ring...I'd say you're safe to say the hundred would win...as long as they tried and were not pacifists. Avoid Group Labels Whenever we give ourselves a label we dehumanize ourselves. When we label someone else we also dehumanize those people. Categorization helps us to comprehend the world but it doesn't capture the diversity and unique nature of each and every person on this planet. No one is more valuable then another. All of us have to work together with our individual truths to create a better world. That means not trying to force a universal truth and vision on everyone. Truth My truth is different then your truth. The set of situations I have overcome and achieved are different from yours. Truth is not necessarily universal in nature and nor should it be. As individual expressions of All-That-IS it is our duty to be unique...to distinguish ourselves from the masses to be greater more interesting companions. Our truths might change and evolve, that's an aspect of this impermeable world...but as we reach each new level of experience we need to give voice to it. We need to start working with those ideas and sharing them with others even if they are in error. Too often in our society we think someone is an "expert" and, consequently, our truth does not matter. We are too afraid to voice opinion for fear of someone tearing it down. That someone might know more than we do and because we don't have a certain education our opinion is not valuable. We need to learn to respect each others truths even if they are different from our own. Accepting that is a very important lesson. Too often in school we were taught that the teachers ideas were the only ones that were valid. Teachers and parents too often set themselves up as these all knowing perfect beings...but when we become adults we learn that they were not. We are taught that our world is one dimensional. Everything has been discovered, experienced, that life is black and white, that there are solid rules that cannot be broken and everything is known. No amount of education makes someone smarter than anyone else. Sure, a surgeon might understand how to do a heart transplant better than me. Yet I bet he would have no clue how to make a Medicine Ball Tea. We all learn about our chosen fields of interests in an evolving manner throughout the course of our lives. We can't give all of our power over to our doctors, our leaders or even our mechanics. Rules are constantly being broken. Boundaries are constantly being pushed. Yet, the common citizen is told that they cannot do this...that only certain groups, that only certain organizations and people are allowed to push those boundaries. Everything we know as rules of society, of how people should act, of how groups are expected to act...have been taught to us. They are not solid, they are not tangible...I can't pick up these social rules and ideas as I can a rock...they are abstract constructs of boxes that we choose to create and remain within. They are infinitely mutable. Our society is built on the skeleton of ideas that worked for past societies. The purpose has always been to create a network that makes it possible for everyone to achieve their desires if they do not harm others. Yet, there are people who have divorced themselves from their compassionate human nature. They think our society consists of predator and prey. They see no issue with snuffing out a life to gain their agenda. They want to "work the system" to benefit them and take from someone else. As an adult you must question everyone's motives. You cannot believe what they say, but must judge others based on their actions. When it comes to ourselves, we are the only expert that exists that truly understands us. Not our spouse, not our doctors, and certainly not some remote president is an expert on us or can provide for us. We can only trust ourselves to know what is best for us on an individual level and work to achieve what we want for ourselves. We cannot expect others to give it to us somehow because that is the definition of powerless. That is an insult to our very nature. We have vast knowledge at our finger tips, yes a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous, but we have the option of educating ourselves very easily these days. Degrees are not the only way to learn and there are plenty of people who are wise beyond their years that have never stepped foot in a college.The human mind can achieve amazing things. People in ages before could never comprehend the power and knowledge that we can access through the internet. Rejoice that you live in an age that we have such possibility. Self-Perception Epiphany Once you realize that you are an immortal multi-dimensional being having a human experience and that a part of you cannot be hurt by what happens here...it's very hard to be scared. The world becomes your playground when you realize that you are drawing to yourself all that you need to fulfill your dreams simply by positive thinking. Of course, to truly manifest what you want you have to take action. That's why I voted for a candidate that is unlikely to win my state...as a prayer request for a better system to be created. Circular logic dictates that it will not matter, I have been told that by so many...but that's a self-perpetuating act of self-defeat. Nor do I believe that the system will have to be changed by Bloody Revolution. I completely reject that in this time where we can so easily organize. Sure, they might not take us seriously at first but if it is the overwhelming percentage of the population it will not be stopped. That's why it doesn't scare me that the Republican Party from this moment will not be able to go forward the same. That's why the idea of a Nuclear War with Russia doesn't frighten me either... The Power of Action I have faith and I know that if a million people out of the billions on this planet are acting on positive hopes and goals it will have a ripple effect. If Chaos Theory is true and a butterfly flapping it's wings can cause a Hurricane in Florida....then think the affect of a million people thinking and acting positively with one another...the harmony that it will create. If each of us gives off an invisible signal and we could perceive it as a musical note...imagine the symphony that would create from a million people working to achieve positive harmony. That will easily be picked out of a discordant symphony. I believe that this critical mass of people who are aware of this has been reached. As long as they work to better the world in whatever method they can...whether it is to do the best at sweeping...or cutting wood and carrying water...the intention is what is not important and not the act. When all of us do what we can in the spirit of Hope miracles can happen....despite all of the curses in the world (Congrats Cubs!). Conclusion I have Hope. The Doom and Gloom people look like nothing but empty ineffective wraiths when you find that little spark within yourself. There are far more people working for a positive world then a negative one. Just one example is the Thousands of Starbucks Barristas who get the Unity Cup that Starbucks put out. They won't be paraded on the news unless they have some sort of disability...but each and every 'normal' person is just as important and their journey as unlikely as anyone that is labeled abnormal. We work within a nexus of energy that seeks to buttress what we want....and once we realize we are the architects of our own world...at a very deep soul level...it becomes clear we have the power to create the future that we want. I know, and I have faith, in my common fellow human beings. That's Hope and I know it can change the world. I apologize for not writing on Monday as I usually do. Halloween was a very busy day for me. I like to do some decorations only on the day of because of their fragile nature. I was a little saddened that there was a low turn out of Trick or Treaters.
The psychological warfare of the people who decided to masquerade as Killer Clowns and make threats apparently scared people enough that they didn't let their kids trick or treat this year. I really dislike the people who did that and I really hope karma catches up to them in a big way. Expect The Unexpected Congratulations Cubs! If I was the betting type I would have placed my money on the Cubs. As I said in my last post...if they won it would be a miracle. The sheer reason why is that for years they were told they couldn't. People predicted it, apparently some guy in 1998 in his year book, Parks and Recreation and of course Back to the Future was off by only a year. There is even one claiming that Hilary Clinton predicted that the Cubs would win. I think the odds of all of those people pegging this time is really slim... Not to mention that the Cubs had a really thin chance of winning even during the World Series because they had to come back to win three games in a row. Then you have the fact that they were tied...there was a rain delay...a home run hit on a pitcher that most people can't even hit the ball...and you have one of the most interesting baseball games ever (and I don't like watching baseball games...I went to one once in person and fell asleep in the bleachers). The Cross Roads We are officially at the Cross Roads. There is a lot of interesting stuff going on in the world right now. A lot of things that people going about their normal routine are not paying attention to or are not mentioned by the press at all. Our news media has gone down the drain and, despite what horrible sites like Huffington Post (which I find to be extraordinary biased and fans the flames of polarization) claim...I don't know a single person who trusts the news. Just look at how the media is not covering the North Dakota Pipeline protests by the Native Americans! There is a huge gathering of Native American tribes from every part of the Americas including the Hawaiian Islands and the Maya of Guatemala (Fulfilling the Eagle and Condor Prophecy). We know what happens down one path. One path undeniably leads to World War Three. That has been reported by Nostradamus, Edgar Cacye, Stormberger, John Titor and Bashar. I'm sure there are others. John Hogue, who studies Nostradamus says that according to a countdown that he's identified the Nuclear War would happen next November (http://www.hogueprophecy.com andhttp://www.hogueprophecy.com/a-new-cold-war-the-prophecies-of-nostradamus-stormberger-and-edgar-cayce). John Titor, what John Hogue has described as a Nuclear Winter that would destroy most of the Northern Hemisphere and Bashar says drives the Human Race underground leading to a lot of mutations. Eventually, according to Bashar, it causes the humans to begin to manipulate their genes...until eventually way down the road we became the Grays in a different Time Line. Apparently...that form of Ragnarok where we burn the world with Atomic Blasts is one way the world can transform and become the Hopi Fourth World of the Human. Yet, I argue we have just entered the most unlikely Time Line and we are going down the path that is so surprising that all kinds of Alien Species are studying how we pulled it off. The Cubs winning, against all odds, as predicted or nearly predicted by Pop Media...well, unless we say it was staged...it's a sign we are going down that unlikely path. I think we first had a chance at this in the 1930's...we chose war. I think we might go right up to the edge of war this time...but there are just enough awakened individuals to say, "We don't want that again!" This is going to be one tight presidential race. Hilary might win it...but it will be at a dramatic cost to both the Republican party and her own. I have no doubt that woman president is capable of doing a good job but not Hilary. I think she'll take our country down a very dark road where we come very close to war with Russia, China and Iraq (the Axis of WW3) and I don't see her completing her term. That we are in the unlikely timeline of miracles and seemingly impossible things becoming possible... To me that's pretty dang awesome. For those who are not on the rare train that diverges from where we destroy ourselves in most Time Lines...next year is the last call. Rejecting Unity Mind This is an idea that I came across when I first got into all of this in 2007. There were all of these people claiming that we were going to come into this period where we would have the same mind. I read this in a lot of peoples online writings. Eventually all of us would develop telekinesis and talk to another with our minds. I equate this to how Bashar describes the Grays and the way they communicate. They seem to have a hive mind. This is something the erroneously cultivated. I relate the idea to what Rudolf Steiner describes as the Spirit of Ahriman. I could go into a bunch of details about it but he more or less personified a way of thinking that is similar to Group Think. To me this is much like personifying physics...it's a silly way of going about things but he was from a period that wasn't quite as good at thinking in an abstract way. Here is the thing...I reject absolutely and completely any Hive Mind or Unity Mind as being superior to individual thought. As I explained in a very scientific way with my blogs on Group Think...when there is only one mind the ability to innovate is completely dampened. Whenever a label is put on someone it limits their possibilities. The greatest strength of humanity is honoring individuality on every level. To understand that every person has a different truth and it is only through sharing this truth with one another that we can truly be innovative. Unity mind would be a very dead end...as the Grays found out. There are many levels between us and All-That-Is (and yet none, it's a bit of a paradox but it is only one of limited perception versus all encompassing perception)...All-That-IS is always operating at a Unity Consciousness Level. That level of awareness is always mindful of every one of us. If we, within this "simulation" (which I equate to a day dream of All-That-IS as it contemplates itself in the mirror) were to achieve unity mind it would defeat the purpose of the exercise of self-individuation that we are here to experience. Why is self-individuation so important? Well, as Edgar Cacye explains each of us is a universe unto ourselves. One day we might, as little sparks of the divine All-That-Is create our own universes with beings and stories that All-That-Is cannot anticipate. *(Although technically one one level everything is happening all at once so as soon as All-That-Is turned it's consciousness to this idea he knew all of the possible outcomes...he's just not clear on all of the details of the path to that end until the individual in the physical realm makes their choice). I reject all paths that would lead to this false sense of Unity Mind that would be a bastardization of the consciousness of All-That-Is and would completely negate the experience of being an individual entity we undertook when we incarnated on Earth. Who Are We? This is such a puzzle. I cannot give a definite answer but I can give you an abstract picture. We are one, on one level of our being...of our soul, we are all one. This is the primordial sate of being described as Neith or described just as waves of energy. That one being perceived itself...creating chaos and fear. Out of that Chaos and Fear our world was created along with the rest of the physical cosmos that we know. This is how John Van Auken describes it from the perspective of the Ancient Egyptians. All brackets are mine: "Also in the Book of the Dead the "self created" God is asked , "Who then is this?" She answers: "It is Ra who created names for his members and these came into being in the form of gods who are in the following of Ra." This is a reference to the beginning of soul-groups (over souls), each following in or reflecting the first cause or impulse that brought them into being. Those conceived in the following of Isis or Hermes or whichever Godling would be of that soul-group and have similar goals and perspectives on life. From out of the Unmanifested God came God the Creator (self-created). God the Creator or conceived co-creators, or the Godlings. From out of them came "The Millions." The Original Great Creator then gave souls to "The Millions." Here, we have at least four layers....The Unmanifested, the manifested creator (that perceived itself), the Godlings, and the "millions" or souls. Each could be seen as a different prism with the most faucets existing on the "millions" level. Video Game Analogy I equate this to playing a video game. You are not the video game character in the game. You know it's just a simulation and if your character dies it's not the end of your life. The experience is real...but it's not really you. You learn from the game when to hit certain buttons, when to be stealthy, when to be a tank and mow down your enemies. You know when you are playing the game that is not really you. Yet you wince when your game character is hit hard or fails. If your video game character could perceive you it might consider you God. You push the buttons to make things happen in their world. Yet, there was several other people involved in creating that world...several programmers and even the original people who conceived the idea of the game. That's kind of what we can perceive from our limited perception in this state. We have plenty of evidence that this is a simulation. Physics pretty much insists that it must be (of course they say it's a computer simulation but that's very limited thinking...we are so apt to compare our brains and creation to the highest form of technology we can create). Conclusion I think we are living in a fun time. If you can detach yourself from the Group Think...it's going to be very fascinating to watch. We are on the edge of repeating our sins that led to World War One and World War Two where people really were trying to force the world into an universal square box. You have to ask yourself, do you really want to do this again? The chains of ascribing to a unity mind as being the best thing that humanity can conceive is being rejected by the masses. Globalization is, in essence that idea...so I see that being absolutely and utterly rejected. In my opinion segregation and having individual nations is absolutely okay. A one world government would be a complete error in logic. If people are racist...oh well, can't change them...accept it and move on. I judge people on an individual level, not as the group they identify with, and that's how it should be...and that gives a lot of room for diversity. I can't judge people who are going through the experience of feeling that the color of peoples skin matter in any way shape or form...and I can't change them. Even if we cast out those people form our society and punish them...it will probably just entrench those ideas instead of removing them. Of course, businesses and services should be allowed to discriminate but they are not human beings. Trying to force humanity into one homogeneous lump defeats the Human Experience. Only through embracing our diversity and allowing for it to exist in anyway that it manifests even if some people choose not to be inclusive can we actually have peace. |
