Dreaming The World Into Being

Behind the scenes 2011 and 2012

2011-06-27T14:55:00.000-07:00

For those of you who are interested in the esoteric side of life......2011 is the end of days, and 2012 is the portal year. Before the end of 2011 the world as we know it will split in two. This will be hardly discernible by most people because it will be similar to the way a fast moving river splits into two underwater channels long before it actually become two different rivers.

In 2012 one of those channels will have a lot of incoming, the way small tributaries might flow into one side of a river and therefore into one of the channels. By incoming I mean new energy, information, perceptions, feelings, inspirations and whatever else makes up our spiritual world. There may even be a few dramatic new discoveries, or movements in the world.

However, as long as you stay on the other side of the river the harder and harder it will be to swim over and catch that flow, to be in that channel. It is the one that leads in the direction of the kind of universe many of us signed on for. We came here to experience the split, catch the current, and be in on birthing something new in the cosmos.

As a result, a lot of people, especially those who never really thought anything like this was actually going on, will begin feeling a great deal of pressure, like something is missing and they have no idea what.

For the rest of us who are trying to stay afloat during this process and follow the current the best we can, as hard as it is, we can trust the current will carry us along. As time passes however, dwellers in one channel and dwellers in the other will have an increasingly difficult time communicating with each other, and that also can be a source of stress for people.

During the period of 2011 and 2012 I highly recommend the Joy of Transformation program because it is designed specifically with this purpose in mind - to keep the current flowing and release any countervailing energies that might be drawing you back into the channel down which you don't want to go. It rebuilds the subtle makeup of your psyche so you are increasingly able to attune yourself to what is incoming and the type of awareness your future is demanding.

It is also a lot of fun, and magical at times, and there is a lot of love generated between people and the whole rest of the cosmos. And that tells you something about where this current is heading.

Synchronicity

2011-04-01T15:06:00.000-07:00

The importance of synchronicity can not be over-emphasized. The actual world, or material world, takes it marching orders from the virtual world. So when you make inner changes, by working with dreams for instance, you will notice something happen in the outer world that confirms the change.

With other kinds of inner work, as in active imagination for instance, the world might respond with signs or suggestions, as well as or instead of synchronous events. This is because some inner work is more about energizing a different life track, or 'parallel universe,' and some is about shifting consciousness, or healing in some way.

People often get into a lot of fear when they begin to realize that there is a steady stream of information exchange between the virtual and the actual. Or guilt. It takes courage to actually embrace this fact and begin working with it. It gets easier, and ultimately much more rewarding, when you start 'getting' that the cosmos really is on your side, not on your case. Really get it. And when you really start to figure out how it all works, spiritual life can be quite fun.

There is a unique opportunity being offered by this time in history. By participating in the process of dismantling fear it is possible to succeed with the at - one - ment, once and for all.

After that, for those who refuse to take advantage of this opportunity, who can say.

Not what you are used to

2011-03-31T20:35:00.000-07:00

In the Aramaic bible the Lord's Prayer reads differently that what churches have been preaching for so long. There is, for instance, no mention of debts, trespasses or the need for forgiveness. Instead, it says: "leave us serene, just as we allow others serenity."

Old Aramaic was the language spoken by the historical Jesus and is the closest thing to a final word on the subject. The interesting thing about the word serenity is that, first of all, it is generally the highest state available to the average human being, or what is traditionally called the householder. The whole structure of society is designed to create householders who can fulfill their desires and live in a state of relative serenity. Or is it?

The opposite of serenity is fear. Unfortunately, although at the social level it seems to be all about serenity, at the psychological level it is all about fear much of the time. We have a society where people live in fear much of the time - fear of loneliness, madness, poverty, crime, natural disasters, disease, whatever. It seems like everyone really does have to do a lot more praying because there really is so much to fear!

As I will discuss later, fear as we've known it is trying to leave this planet which of course is jacking up the intensity of it. What we all can do to help that process is to understand what the spirit of fear is really about, and do everything we can to own our own fear, own our own serenity, and let the two slowly dissolve into the state described by whom the petition is being directed toward when the biblical passage states: "our heavenly father, hallowed is your name." The atonement is really the at - one - ment and is greatly aided by the aforementioned alchemical action.

Of course the passage also urges us to allow others serenity. This is important not only at the social level but also at the psychological level. In other words, it is not enough to not participate in making other people afraid. At the deeper level what is disowned or shoved into the shadow, as some people put it, is projected outwardly and proceeds to haunt us. That process is largely unconscious. It happens because people and groups respond in kind, without realizing it, to the perceptions we have of them. At this deeper level of the psyche they are prompted to behave in a way that frightens us because that is what we, or rather the fear in us, has suggested they do.

For example, in California law enforcement officials like to say that at any one time 10 per cent of the people are prepared to commit a crime and will do so given the opportunity. These folks are living out our expectations, without either of us realizing it.

Is it any wonder that the bible passage urges us to seek serenity at THE SAME TIME as we learn to grant others the same. That is the secret embedded in the prayer. By working out our own atonement others receive it also.

Skill with dreams

2011-03-29T11:48:00.000-07:00

For those who have forgotten, or missed it, here's a quick list of some of the things you can do with dreams.

- Receive input from others who look at the dream as if it were theirs, not as if they are trying to analyze your dream for you.

- Re-enter a dream to change a particular action that was taken in the dream.

- Have other people go into your dream, gather information and give you feedback.

- Bring medicine to a dream.

- Voice dialogue with a symbol from the dream.

- Determine if their is a literal message in the dream that might pertain to your physical world. There are a variety of different kinds of messages available to us in dreams.

- Draw creativity or inspiration from the dream.

- Help others by creating a dream for them. This is a way to bypass a lot of inner resistance.

- Discover your spiritual friends, where ever and when ever they might be.

You can also learn to view certain events and stories from life as if they were a dream and take that dream through the same sort of process. This is particularly helpful if you are trying to master analogical thinking.

One of the principles of magic

2011-03-26T14:40:00.000-07:00

Ultimately the source of our passion in life, our motivation, our deep desire, our intent....is what is in our heart. The paradox is that we are designed, because of fear and vulnerability, to protect our heart. The result of that is we get cut off from the deepest desires of the heart and have trouble projecting and pursuing them. As a result, we magicians are not so much interested in fixing the thoughts and feelings that are an expression of this vulnerability, but in uncovering the vulnerability itself. There we can make contact with what is in our heart and begin following that. And as we follow that, the thoughts and feelings that represent our fear and our vulnerability will arise naturally to resist us. But now, once the heart's power has been unleashed in this way, we have a power that is ultimately stronger than that resistance, and will eventually win over it, leaving it a weak force overshadowed by the strong.

*** One of the ways to free the heart from some of the vulnerability that makes it inaccessible is to expand the sphere of protection around it. The use of the pentagram, once energized correctly then projected in all six directions is one of the ways to build that.

The transition

2011-02-19T19:42:00.000-08:00

When will you empty this place and space,

Born and occupied,

Absent of all true identity,

And filled with desire,

Not locked,

Not borrowed,

Only visited.

When will you empty this space and place,

And accept,

The dreamer in,

To dream,

A life,

Not of your design,

But all the same,

So sublime,

And effortless.

When will you empty this space and place,

So that you can be uncaring,

Who’s hand has spun the wheel of destiny,

Who guides reality,

And who procreates?

Where the dreamer dreams,

You will not,

And only then,

This space and place,

Filled and empty both,

No matter,

Then and only then,

Rest,

And live,

A life not driven,

Nor contained,

And certainly not remembered.

The hidden secrets of going crazy

2011-02-12T10:58:00.000-08:00

Madness, or going crazy, is something every human feels at different times, even if they like to deny it. Our biology has an innate need to avoid going crazy because craziness involves a loss of inherent integrity - the brain and nervous system begin forgetting how to function the way they are designed to function. The body therefore has an innate sensitivity to the subject and an alarm system that alerts the individual and stimulates the need to do something.

Often people will over psychologize this need and end up seeking a therapeutic fix or a way to tranquilize the feeling. This latter strategy is a mistake because 'not going crazy' is a fundamental biological need and trying to deaden that need or make it go away is like killing the physical self, slowly. In respect to the former strategy, no amount of analysis or psycho-therapy works either, because the psyche cannot meet the need because it isn't in the psyche, it is in the body.

A study of this problem will reveal however, that the psyche does have the ability to trigger the alarm system in this way because it is the activity of the psyche that is often at fault. More specifically, the activity of the psyche can cause the individual to lose contact with the biological essence and when that happens alarm bells go off. The human being is designed that way as a function of learning to be an integrated unit amongst billions of other integrated units.

Spiritual practitioners usually at this point complain that I am describing 'separation' or 'duality' and suggesting that 'union' or 'non-duality' is bad and dangerous. Actually no. The mistake is that union and non-duality cannot be approached through anything other than essence. At the biological level non-separation triggers the need to not go crazy if it is happening at any level other than the essence.

The most common way for this to happen is the way it happens growing up. As the biology develops you become increasingly aware that you are a single functioning unit called a body. Up until that point and during the early stages of this realization your psyche knows no real boundaries. You are unable to distinguish between your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, associations, intentions and attentions and those of your environment. It is all one soup. As the biology develops it begins to recognize this lack of boundaries as a threat to its cohesiveness and so the urge to not go crazy is born. To the functioning brain and nervous system getting lost in the soup is akin to the loss of it own self regulating function.

Understanding this we can begin to see the source of a certain kind of seemingly undefinable and untreatable stress and distress in our lives (as well as what happens when people actually do go crazy). The first thing to recognize is that losing ones self in the excessive cognitive and perceptual minutia of modern life can be dangerous to health. The second thing to recognize is that there is a storehouse of experience - the first soup - kicking around in our brain and that when it is dissolved the tendency for the alarm bells to get easily triggered in the present begins to disappear. The boundaries become more solid and there is less 'alarm by association.'

The third thing to recognize is that there is a biological equivalent to essence which is key to well-being as far as the body is concerned and can be nurtured by the individual.At this level the body is perfectly okay with feeling that it is part and parcel of and essentially made up of the same stuff as the rest of the universe, because it is.

In summary, there are parts of us that are designed to function as a single unit, and parts of us that are designed to reminds us of our essential nature, where there are no boundaries. When both are properly respected happiness ensues.

The field of grace

2011-02-03T21:53:00.000-08:00

One day the field of grace appeared to me.

Like a bright white cloud,

Over all of reality,

Or perhaps, more accurately,

The people and the places,

The things we think construct our day,

Were but moving pictures,

Cast across the surface,

Of this more weighty stuff.

And it took care of me.

Lost amongst the gaggle, it directed me.

Late when I should not have been,

It turned back the clock and waited for my arrival.

Discomfort was cast aside,

And the world moved to make room for me.

And then,

While others found themselves,

Lost and buried in an urban world,

Usually so reliable, suddenly now struck,

Guide and chauffeur appeared as if the field had beckoned,

Insuring my transport, my safety, homeward bound.

The ease of grace this field, so much more than reality.

Once more darkly I recall, it took hold of me,

Sent me home to catch my flight,

Earlier than fate had planned that day,

Like a bolt from heaven,

The space between what is here,

And what is there,

Collapsed and disappeared,

And suddenly,

Early was my flight,

Saved from that scheduled destiny,

An awful fate,

The flight I was due to fly,

Plucked from the sky,

By marauders in the night,

But I, that seat was empty,

This life was spared,

By the gentle hand of electricity,

By the mercy caring,

The great blue cloud,

That holds all of reality,

I know,

This, the field of grace.

One of the rules of dreaming

2011-02-01T15:32:00.001-08:00

As I sleep an odd alchemy occurs,

From the far off land so difficult to remember,

Something is communicated.

A play of images,

A cascade of developments that masquerade as life,

Orchestrated without my knowing.

So I list the bits,

Try to make sense out of what more often,

Is utterly illogical.

Confusion, or a blank stare from me,

Soon ensues, in my thoughts, in my feelings,

In my determinations.

Where’s the sense, the understanding,

The meaning in this mirror of late night episodes,

Played backwards, frontward, sideways and around.

Then, in a solitary moment of unknowing,

Suddenly a question out of there arises,

And within the light of that, I see what my dream depicts.

It is giving colour and enterprise,

Nuance and expression,

To a simple, solitary query.

A query, when finally posed and spoken,

Reveals who is asking,

And also who is answering.

Who or what was, and is, the source of this,

This emanation,

Where dreams and reality appear to meet.

That is up to you to name,

Not by thinking, or remembering,

Not even by imagining.

What’s left?

There you learn by knowing.

Where the dreamer goes

2011-01-12T11:07:00.000-08:00

People often ask me, "what is the purpose of all this training, this spiritual practice, this exploration, where is it heading; why do we feel compelled to do it?"

Recently I journeyed to a place where I was barred from entering. It was explained to me that this was 'before.' I didn't understand what that meant and so the guide agreed to accompany me on a short journey as long as I said nothing, which actually meant, 'think nothing.' That was impossible for more than a few moments and I noticed that with each thought the terrain was modified.

That immediately landed us back at the entrance to this world where I was told that this realm of being is where everything is created just by thinking about it. In our world thinking is predominant but there 'sympathetic experience' dominates; thought is only used to create things, or change the terrain, and thus it is used carefully.

I was further informed that we cannot go there until we have learned to master our mind in a particular way and learned the required ethics. The earthly sojourn, as well as adventures in other realms, is the training ground.

It appears that our entry to the land of 'before' is barred because of how messy we have become. I wonder, is it 'before' because we fell from there, or 'before' because it is a dimension of causality - a dimension where what is actually causal in the universe is experienced directly rather than indirectly with many degrees of separation between 'cause' and 'effect'.

Perhaps both are true.

What literature and movies teach us

2011-01-11T21:18:00.000-08:00

Imaginative fiction has two basic modes. One is to look at the past and interpret or reinvent it. The other is to speculate, to make up possibilities. If you follow the history of literature and the movies you will see clearly that much of what first appears in the imagination of authors eventually becomes reality.

One could be forgiven for thinking that is because entrepreneurs always recognize a good thing when they see it, or read it. But the phenomena is much greater than that. Much of what appears in literature eventually appears in the apparent 'real' world in some form or another without any obvious connection between invention and manifestation. For instance, one would often think that professional criminals busy themselves watching movies and reading books in order to get their ideas. Usually they don't, although probably there are some who do. And it is amazing how often science fiction, called speculation fiction in the old days, could be more rightly called predicative fiction.

But the people who write this stuff are not by trade the same group who eventually bring it all into being. That happens more organically than that. It happens because the writers imagined something, and replicated the imagining by getting a whole lot of people to read, view and talk about what they conceived of or retrieved from the soup of possibilities out there.

In other words, it was dreamt into being.

This fact should clue us into the fact that the American obsession with murder and mayhem in their movies and in their literature, is in fact partially at fault for the absurd pre-occupation with personal armament, the mass murder that seems to happen at an increasing rate, and the endless wars America becomes embroiled in.

The imaginal world of night and day dreaming, and the fact of replication resulting in real world phenomena is obvious to anyone who studies it. Perhaps we should learn how to use our speculative powers in more productive ways, more often. The facts of American culture clearly show that our dreaming is diseased.

Fortunately, this is easy to change. Refuse to consume the excessive violence, and do consume more interesting, hopeful forms of speculative fiction, or that which is instructive. There's lots of it around.

For instance, there is a Canadian police drama called FlashPoint about a strategic response team in Toronto. It is as well written and as dramatic and suspenseful as any police action flick out there on T.V. However, hardly anyone ever gets killed. When it played in the United States it was very popular. But when it got out that the show is a Canadian production the network pulled it and replaced it with an American version, full of....well....you know what.

One day as a civilization we will all realize the power of imaginative speculation and change our habits. Until that day comes, and those who profit so hugely by peddling the American obsession with guns and violence are finely ousted from power, it is up to individuals to choose, and choose what to replicate in the world.

Divine will: what is it?

2011-01-11T13:17:00.000-08:00

The unfolding of the universe has its own direction and momentum. That is true in respect to our own lives and our own inner being, and the world at large. The goal is not to direct that force but to move with it. When we don't do that, or resist it, it is like fighting against a tide that will come in and go out regardless of what we might do or not do. It is pointless.

But when we find the love and perfection that exists within and around us an interesting thing occurs. It replicates. Not because we are actually doing anything but because we create our own tides that ripple out into the universe and become part of it.

There is a simple reason for that. What we are not, is not what the universe is and who gave us the right to demand it should conform to what it is not? But once we find what we really are, and what everyone else really is, we discover what the universe really is. When that happens, another strange thing happens.

The universe is busy giving us what we really want. We just weren't able to see it. Or co-operate.

Love is what it concludes

2011-01-11T13:00:00.000-08:00

When the true being is discovered as the love that is the self we perceive that at the root of everything in existence there is a perfection that is good and positive. This perfection may appear otherwise, as brokenness or suffering for instance, but that is only an appearance, a maya. The perfection is still there if you look for it and it is love that looks and love that sees.

For this reason our efforts to fix ourselves, or others, or the world, always fail. Who is doing the fixing? Perfection is already there. It only has to be uncovered and acknowledged, which is in itself an act of worship, or devotion.

If you think about it, acceptance of that fact has profound implications for health and healing, and for making life work better for everyone. It is not a reason to dismiss the fact that this realization is elusive and maybe far from reality for most people. Keeping this in mind AND the fact of the ever present perfection allows us to be compassionate but also useful.

Without one we become cold and unloving, which takes us away from reality, and without the other we are unable to embody a hope that we can trust in. That hope is a function of the fact that every glimpse of the perfection is redeeming and an assertion of the true reality that asserts clearly that in the end, there is only goodness.

Nothing is broken. It only appears that way. And appearances can fall away in an instant.

Love: the first and last action

2011-01-11T12:24:00.000-08:00

The spiritual process from an individual point of view always results in the experience that one's ultimate nature is essentially loving. In fact, all that exists is made of the same stuff, the experience of which can only be characterized as loving and beneficent.
The realization of this, in the true sense, not in the emotional or conceptual sense, is a result of making contact with true being. In that sense it is the last action because it is the result of the long process of 'neti-neti,' or discovering what you are not and what you have been doing that is an expression of what you are not, and then undoing it.

Love then becomes the first action again, just as it was love that secretly caused you to seek it in the first place. You act from the heart of love again, but now your action is a more direct expression of the love that is the self. This love, this self, is neither the body nor the mind, but uses the body and mind to act.

This love, having been finally found to be the self, sees itself in all, in everything. And if this was to be observed and described by some scribe it would appear that the consciousness in you and the consciousness in me though apparently separate is actually one. The seeking of that unity is the primary act of love.

The path love takes maybe different for each individual, but the characterization of it is not, and therein lies the magic.

Stream, box and eye

2010-12-15T21:42:00.000-08:00

Mind, independent of its contents, is made up of three structures.

The first I liken to a stream because it is the flow of existence itself, joyful, loving, alive, like a cup that is continuously emptying and filling at the same time. The gong sound reminds us of this existential current. Interestingly, it is not found in the brain where people tend to think mind is, but in the heart, where the mind really is. Some spiritual systems call this your consciousness stream and consider that to be the essence of the human being.

The second I liken to a box because it is the container put around what is otherwise without boundaries and thus cannot be shaped or compared to anything, or owned by anybody. Without such a distinction it is largely impossible to know the difference between anybody or anything. Some people call this the ego.

The third I liken to an eye because it is awareness and is responsible for sensory functions. Some people think this awareness is the highest level of development and is sometimes called the no-self, as in awareness without identification. Eye without box.

This mind construct is considered perfect because it mimics the structure of the soul and is thus the perfect vehicle for developing soul consciousness. The soul, is existence contained within a boundary possessed of consciousness. Stream, box and eye. It doesn't know this is what it is - there is no knower - until the process of life grants the experience that must inevitably lead there. In other words, the life process eventually evolves to the point where something transcendent to the mind, body and world but possessing similar structural characteristics becomes known to us.

It is kind of like a house with three painted windows. For a while we just look at the windows, admire or criticize them, or just wonder about them. After a while we start wondering what is behind the window. So we start trying to look through one of them, wash it or pry it open. Eventually we discover a room on the other side. At first we think, ah this is it, but then we remember there are three windows and this room only has one. So we go through the same process with the other two windows and discover two different rooms.

Naturally we discover that the dimensions of these three rooms doesn't add up. There has to be a fourth room that is hidden but supported by all three - a central chamber that is also a capstone. That find, in a nutshell, is the purpose of life.

Q & A

2010-12-13T14:31:00.000-08:00

Q. I was reading your postings on Great Fear and Great Anger and immediately recognized the importance of what you are describing. You also stated that this alchemy, if I may call it that, is now widely available to all of us. How if that possible? Are there certain kinds of resources, or is just knowing about it enough?

A. Knowing about this brings a deep relief from hopelessness. However, we then need to find the courage to go through the process of getting to the realization, the knowing. That requires a process that does that, and it also requires a facilitator that possesses this realization.

Q. Is there a particular process you prefer?

A. In the beginning anything that develops an executive self is good. That is the ability to experience strong emotions and other states of consciousness without becoming disassociated, or lost to your self. Nowadays it seems like everyone has training that has contributed to that. After that, there is a particular approach to voice dialogue that includes what other people are doing in that area but takes it in a unique direction.

Q. Could you tell more about that?

A. I would rather not at this time. It is important to learn certain things, in order to make it safe and effective, and to experience the transmission of the state of realization involved. Once that is achieved you can grow it on your own, or with others, whatever suits you.

Great Fear

2010-12-13T13:37:00.000-08:00

Fear is another root emotion that has become a major problem for the human race. Relieving fear has become an industry, mainstream and alternative. Still, in the world it is tending to become worse, not better. Anxiety, paranoia, phobia, panic, catastrophic thinking.....these have become epidemic the world over. If we are not feeling the fear we are projecting it and sometimes manifesting it outside of ourselves as situations, people and systems that are dangerous and fear invoking. Strangely however, despite our greatest minds busily working on this problem, when we try, nothing seems to do anything other than passify it. Great fear carries on.

Maybe it is our approach that has been wrong. If we were courageous enough to own all our own fear, especially that which emerges at the moment we enter the womb of our mother, would it destroy us? Often, we think it will because it seems like great fear is part and parcel of existence itself. But is it?

Great fear, like great anger, actually has a heart essence. At the centre of great fear, much to our surprise, is awareness. And by awareness I mean not our awareness, but awareness itself. The field of awareness that is everywhere, that appears to be infinite in nature. This awareness only becomes our awareness when we learn to put a box around it. That becomes the delusion of self. Awareness actually has no such limits.

Some people call that no-self, but that is another duality which suggests there must be something outside of this alleged no-self. Awareness in fact includes what we think as personal awareness and we only think of it as personal because we have defined it. Throw away these boundaries, these definitions, and awareness becomes a field you can surf but the you doesn't go anywhere. Only your definition of your self disappears.

What a discovery! Great fear is actually a gateway to the essential reality of the universe, awareness itself. Is this fear a miasm, something passed on from generation to generation? Certainly, but it is also the way we have learned to interpret the contraction of awareness that happens as we incarnate physically. Whether it will be possible to re-interpret that contraction remains to be seen. But there is no doubt. There is an ultimate answer to great fear available to all of us.

That answer has always been known to a few, but now it must be known by the many. Great fear has had its day as a masquerader; now it is time to uncover the truth about what it really is. This fact will make the path to liberation from fear a reality available to all.

Projected, the world will look very different.

Great Anger

2010-12-13T13:10:00.000-08:00

Anger is one of our root emotions. There is a huge amount of energy tied up with anger. In the body it becomes inflammation of all kinds, and eventually, stagnation. In our psyche it tends to express itself as resentment, shame, hatred, disgust, envy, rage, frustration and probably a few other ways I don't recall or have never thought of. In behavior, both verbal and physical, anger can be very hurtful and destructive. Some people respond by saying, anger can also be assertion and force which is often very useful. That's not anger. That's the energy that is used by anger but used for other means.

All of the above are samples of how anger gets disowned, buried, projected or transferred because we recognize it as unhealthy or unwanted. Many people just burn out on their anger and become hopeless or wrecked. Often that is because all our spiritual technologies and all our psychotherapeutic technologies and all our biological technologies have failed us in that they have failed to get to the heart of great anger.

Once anger is completely owned, it is brought back from all those other, aforementioned forms of expression, and faced directly, in all its seemingly chaotic and uncontrolled rabidness, something astonishing can happen.

Great anger has an essence, a heart essence. In other words, go into the center of the storm and you find the gift. That gift is none other than the soul itself, the basic life principle, the I Am-ness, the unceasing joy of existence.

Who knew? Actually, very few. It takes courage and resolve to own all the anger and also develop the kind of self capable of facing it without judgement, embracing it, and then penetrating to its essence. And until recently there have been very few resources, and very little aware articulation about the nature of great anger and its true nature.

When the world begins to discover this, what anger really is, and what it can give us, one of the biggest knots in the psyche of humanity will be untied once and for all. The world inside and out is filled with such huge amounts of anger because this knot exists in the collective psyche, and is passed on to every living human. But imagine if that were not so. What would the world be filled with if the essence was what predominated everywhere.

That would be different wouldn't it.

Working with the black

2010-12-06T11:48:00.000-08:00

Black magic is about controlling the environment or individuals psychically, by negating or binding. Although people do engage in this for fun and profit it is primarily an unconscious phenomenon that comes from our own tendency to shove stuff into our shadow where it comes out as black magic.

In other words, we disown parts of ourselves and then do to the world what we have been doing to our self, or was done to us. The ‘doing’ comes in the form of a messaging system which we unconsciously source from and which inspires our actions.

For instance, a depressed person has a message in his system that says, ‘I don’t want to be here.’ His unconscious action becomes rejecting life, which results in the depression. Traditionally we would think about such a case as the environment resonating with the message and thus doing to him what he is doing to himself. But that ‘mirroring’ effect suggests a passive relationship with the environment which doesn’t seem to be true a lot of the time.

The environment is a living thing, as are the people in it. Magic is about the messages we give, the action we take and the effect that has. It is also about our relationship to it and our experience of what the environment really is.

Because we rarely understand what happens in the shadow world we often don’t recognize that disowned emotions become unconscious actions, via the messaging system. And in black magic the interpreting of the message through action is always to control by negation, or binding.

Sometimes of course control by negation is a necessary action, such as in the came of policing, or certain kinds of medicine. But in these cases the motivation is not coming from the shadow; the urge to life is not distorted by fear or paranoid self interest. As soon as it does however, as soon as there are ulterior motives, as soon as actions are sourcing from what is called the shadow, the policing, or the medicine, will become corrupted.

Consider the example of the child who takes to heart the message, ‘you are bad.’ Normally we might think, okay, his actions will conform to the message and he will behave badly, prove he is a bad person. But that is not necessarily black magic. On the other hand if he unconsciously sabotages his work mates by getting in the way of their own success, or, if the environment offers a solution to his problems and he rejects it or does something to make it untenable, then black magic might be at work.

People rarely recognize that both of the lower forms of magic involve the use of emotional energy. In black magic it is the disowned and distorted emotional energy in service to the messages within our psyche that does the work. If we can own these energies we are half way out of the swamp. We are on dry land when we uncover the messages and change the ones that might predispose us to shadow shoving our negative emotions and turning them into black magic.

As a result, it is not the emotions that are at fault, but what we do with them, and the messages that guide those actions.

The concept of a mirror – life reflecting back to us what is in consciousness – is not altogether inaccurate but it is missing what is on the other side of the mirror. In other words, appearances are deceiving. This is always hinted at in literature. The overweight woman sees a skinny kid in the mirror and keeps on eating, or visa versa. A disturbed person sees a troll where no such being actually exists.

But magicians know that it is possible to spy on people through mirrors, and even attack them through mirrors. In other words what comes through the mirror can be manipulated. Why is the troll, or the anorexic woman, or the monster, there in the mirror in the first place. Why and how is the environment creating this effect?

If we see the environment as a living thing, not just a big mirror, we naturally seek to understand the nature of the cause and effect involved. And here is where the mirror is interesting. The mirror is magical because if you go through the mirror you will find out what is really going on behind the curtain, in the shadows if that is where you want to look.

Go through the mirror, or at least look into it, not just at it, and you will see the messaging and the disowned emotions and start to understand how it is that your environment is behaving the way it is. While it is true that ‘we are the world’ it is also true that the world will continue to exist long after we have left, so how is it that ‘we are the world?’ The truth is, we have the capacity to completely perceive the world as one unified field, but the question remains, who is influencing that field, how, and why? That influence does happen automatically based on the mechanics of the field, but we are a lot more involved in that process than we usually realize.

That process of participation beyond basic cause and effect, behavioral psychology, or Newtonian physics, is what we call magic. In respect to black magic it is not enough to say, ‘okay, I’m not going to do that.’ We are doing it all the time without realizing it. We are all black magicians. When it gets out of hand we suffer, the environment suffers and other people suffer.

Deciding you are not going to do it anymore is a commitment to the process of mastering magic. High magic, or white magic, delivers a clear understanding and experiential awareness of the true nature of the environment – the source. Middle magic, or red magic, shows us how to consciously create desired effects and offers the choice of control or co-creation. Control takes us down into the temptations of black magic while co-creation helps us develop a relationship with the source.

Our job in respect to black magic is to uncover the disowned parts of our self and own them. They are not scary at all once we understand that process. They are emotional energies which have been sourcing from and conforming to the messages we have been giving our emotions. These energies are what magicians of old called elementals. They called them elementals because when they were disowned they took on a life of their own. It was called black magic when individuals would try to control these energies for their own purposes, and sacred magic when individuals learned to make friends with these energies.

We are required to make friends with these energies, and change the messaging system that creates them in the first place. Once you learn to do this with your self, you can also help others, and the environment.

Black is a fact of life, but it need not be binding or negating of life.

Life is a story

2010-12-03T13:22:00.000-08:00

You are born into the circumstances that you are born into because it is conducive to the story you want to write.

Living is to then uncover and transcend the story. What emerges out of that process is the role or function you are meant to play - your destiny.

There are therefore three phases of life. The creation of the story, the exploration of it and the transcendence of it, or healing, followed by destiny, or highest manifestation.

Story can be like an avalanche which people get buried under. Alternatively, people often think that other people's story is the one they should be living as if life is like a library book; you can return the book you have and take out a new one. Unfortunately, followers of that philosophy usually find they are on hold for a very long time.

But the goal is not to live in the grip of your story, or to replace one with the other, despite what the world might try to convince you. The process is much more organic than that, and unique to each and every individual. What is common is the three phases, and the need for some kind of process, or dharma, that can help you explore your story and transcend it, and help you emerge into 'your becoming,' or 'your destiny.'

You then discover how you are of service to the world and also to your self. And this happens automatically. Using a cup as a metaphor, you don't empty your cup just in order to refill it. You empty your cup in order that it can be a conduit. By experiencing that flow-through you experience yourself living and giving your greatest possibility.

Your role or function, your destiny, may be small or large, simple or complex, but you will never be fully satisfied in life until you play out the role that is yours, and yours alone.

And the devil said.............

2010-12-01T10:41:00.000-08:00

Recently I was told that everything I do and others like me do is the work of Satan. He was a newly minted Christian apparently and claimed to have been given a revelation by Jesus Christ. I found this both interesting and annoying since in many ways I have always felt cursed and this person seemed to be interested in cursing me further. So I decided to take the bull by the horns.

I sought out the cursed part of myself, and eventually the curse itself. This energy, or this intelligence if you prefer, turned out to be what some people call Satan, the devil, Lucifer, etc. And he told me his story. It wasn't easy, as this energy is intensely raucous and seemingly crazed and enraged, like a rolling ball of black fire stretching through time, so I don't suggest you do this at home, as the advertising warns.

This energy said it has been around since the beginning of time but does not ever decide to attack or influence anyone by its own choice, or will. When it is invoked it does what it does as a function of being true to its nature. This is important because the whole Satan story suggests that the dude is a man with a mission that chooses his victims every chance he gets. It is not so.

So the question becomes 'how and why' does this energy get invoked. Between bouts of spitting and hissing and Gollum like gesticulations I was able to receive the answer and it was happy to give it. This may startle you, and even seem trite, but here goes anyway.

Any situation where the individual is in a state of extreme selfishness, where he or she abandons all consideration of the wants and needs of the other, AND, decides that the way to serve this selfishness is by controlling others and/or the environment, this energy is invoked. It was very clear about that. It is invoked first, then passed along. The passing along is what people refer to a being cursed.

So how is it passed along once it is invoked? Words, thoughts, introjects, injunctions, counter-injunctions, however you want to look at - the big don't - control by negation.
And so, under those circumstances the energy we call Satan begins to live on in another.

Just so we are clear; the invocation comes first. No invocation; no curse. Without the invocation the energy does not attach itself to the words. The words become just words.

So I asked, 'how do you leave, will you leave if I ask?' And that is where I was made to understand that this energy has no will of its own; it is a form of existence with certain characteristics but knows not when it was born or who or what created it. It does not choose. It appears when the conditions call for it. And therefore, when asked, treated with respect and understanding, it will leave. I wondered, 'where will you go?' It laughed, if you could call its gnarled voice a laugh, and said 'I will continue to live on in billions.'

It was a relief to know that I did not have to pass it along to anyone in order for it to be gone from me.

After this conversation, I realized why one of my teachers explained clearly that angelic energies, another kind of intelligence, can never stop or negate anything. They can only be pro-active. I guess angelic energy is the opposite of Satan. At sometime in the future I will explore how the Angels are invoked. But for now I'm still recovering from my commiseration with the devil.

Why I no longer believe in the past

2010-11-01T15:17:00.000-07:00

On discovering your wholeness - bringing your soul back from time, as I call it - you also discover that your pain, suffering, unhappiness and so forth has nothing to do with the past. It is happening right now and right now is where liberation is obtained. In other words, when you acknowledge the parts of you that are responsible for what you are feeling they are brought into the present and when that happens it becomes possible for them to evolve - to move from some past condition or definition into a more relevent or mature now.

But there is also another reason why the past does not exist, but the future does, until it doesn't. The future must be brought into the present in order for it to disappear. The future is the realm of possibility, just as the past is the realm of probability. The future needs to be explored and found out - brought into the present. That happens when you acknowledge the future and the parts of you that it represents and bring them home.

Not only will the future improve, but so will the present.

Spellcasting

2010-10-22T13:22:00.000-07:00

A spell is a spoken or written formula that when used in an act of magick is intended to cause or influence a particular course of events.....

Most people don't realize the influence of spells, and how widespread that influence is. Many people don't recover from illnesses of mind or body, or manage to get hold of their destiny because of spells cast upon them.

Spells put the individual into a kind of trance state which conforms to the wish of the spellcaster, and binds the individual to him or her, and that wish.

Up until recently the behavioural and biological sciences balked at such influences, claiming they were mere superstition. In fact, that is all part of consensual realities attempt to cover up the truth so it can keep casting its own spells unseen.

That gig is over however. Scientists in Russia and Germany recently discovered that the so called junk DNA in the body responds directly to language, radio waves and other forms of linguisticly coded transmissions and behaves in accordance with the messages if, and here is the key, there is a correct frequency match.

The biological science dismissed junk DNA, which makes up more than 90 per cent of the genome because it wasn't involved in making proteins and could not therefore be replicated using material based science and therefore could not ultimately be used for pharmaceutical purposes.

Did we ever really think that 90 per cent of what nature has endowed us with is actually "junk?" Apparently we did. Nice bit of spell casting there.

There is much work to be done in understanding frequencies and frequency matching but now we understand why words and thoughts can become words of power. This will revolutionize healing, and help us all take back our power from trances that have enslaved us, and in many cases, destroyed our lives.

It is all part of the slip sliding away of the control invested powers that would be, but don't expect them to acknowledge this truth any time soon.

In the meantime, sing the songs, play the chords, explore the altered states, find the words and affirmations, chants and intonations, and sooner or later you will discover the healing power that is there.

At the same time, hunt the spells, and don't be afraid of the spellcaster.

The evolved brain

2010-09-23T16:37:00.000-07:00

In the previous posting I discussed the idea that the Nine Ways teachings are concerned with the function of a more evolved part of us. I thought I would explain this a little.

Transcendent to the emotional and cognitive functions is what is sometimes called the higher mind, or psychic body. This is where we draw our intuitions from, where many of our internal capacities are hiding, and where we learn to give concrete form to what is sometimes called extra-sensory or just knowingness. It is an essential faculty and more so right now, as we are being over-loaded with choices, data, and opinions. And emotional pain.

This psychic body doesn't work according to the same rules as our emotions or our thinking mind and is often in conflict with it. We know how to think and how to emote and have developed many therapies and other practices for understanding and working with those bodies. Not so much with the the psychic body.

This part of us is also closer to our essential nature, and the whole cosmos itself than is our thinking or our emoting, which tends to causes us to drift away from who we are. The psychic body, because of its aforementined functions is a branch in the road that lends itself to a more intimate understanding of self which can then be used inform our thoughts and emotions, not be controlled by them.

The Nine Ways are designed to use and develop this body and integrate our consciousness accordingly so we can use and enjoy more of ourselves and gain the benifits accordingly. Don't be fooled though. The bigger mind of the collective is largely controlled by the physical body, the emotions and thinking, and is resisting this new ground.

Ignore that. Tell people you're developing your intuition and accessing a little more of your potential.

Why Bother?

2010-09-23T15:11:00.000-07:00

Learning the Nine Ways process can be difficult at first and people often don't seem to get the point, or value what they are getting. But there is a certain level of being where it is not possible to make positive changes any way other than by working with consciousness and this is a good way to do that.

The human brain is evolving rapidly and the complex times in which we live demand further evolvement in consciousness to match what is going on in the world and what is going on between our ears. This need not be a chaotic process, but it will be if we as a collective don't step forward and just do it. Take a look at what is going on with the weather right now and you get an idea about what is what.

The problem is old road maps. Libraries and bookstores and the internet are filled with old processes rehashed claiming to make you healthy, wealthy and whole. Those marketing the programs seem to be the primary benificiaries a lot of the time, though sometimes there is gold in amongst the old stuff. For us the problem is that we are very familiar with the old road maps, and comfortable with them. We go black when entering new territory and end up reaffirming what we know and where we have been. Worse, we can miss the gold.

The Nine Ways are basically a way of being willing to step into essentially new and unexpected information coming from the process of exercising the more evolved levels of our brain. We then do stuff - take action - associated with what has come to us and in that way it becomes meaningful, powerful and pleasureable. And it becomes part of a new roadmap.

For instance, the 7th way is about accessing information from a different location across space. Perhaps you decide to see what life is like in the Pliedes star system. You do that, have a kind of waking dream, and then share your dream in a particular way that is helpful to you and others present. A certain learning is then extracted from the experience and a decision is made to determine what kind of action, if any is being demanded by the experience. For instance, the dream can be tested for its analagous nature, its intrinsic value as a guiding force, or for its worth as knew information.

You mind find yourself, as a result of this experience, very much more connected to the cosmic nature of your being and able to extract real value from existing at that level.

That can be said of all the Ways however each has a little different flavour and effect on your being. They are like streets in a village, different but similar. When all are explored and their use mastered a sense of the whole is formed. In this case, the wholeness of consciousness at a level that transcends the old matrix of consensual reality where reward and punishment enslave our hearts, despite our deepest yearnings.

We are all aiming for this. I don't think many of us realize it however. The truth is, there is an evolving cosmos out there and this is one of the way to participate in that.

The Path of the Visionary

2010-08-17T16:46:00.001-07:00

Recently, you might have noticed, I have been teaching what I call Seer Training. Many people have been asking lately, "what is the point of this, exactly,?" as if they sense the importance of it but can't quite grasp the meaning of it all.

The Path of the Visionary was the primary spiritual path of the people who once inhabited the South Pacific before their civilization disappeared into the sea and vanished.

Visionaries, which are not quite the same as dreamers, would envision in nine different ways, for nine different purposes. Various rituals and teachings may or may not accompany these processes. It is more a way of life than a distinctive spiritual path. In other words, different indivduals might add different elements to enhance or make sacred what they were doing but the basic understanding remained.

The goal in terms of living life became to see the links between what is envisioned and what shows up in the outer world, or within ones self. By paying attention and responding to that feedback, eventually the difference between what happens in the subjective or objective world and in the vision becomes zero.

The achievement of this in its entirety, which is only really understood at a certain point in the journey, is considered success by the visionary.

How I came to be a wisdom keeper on this path is a story for my literary page but it suffices to say that it chose me, not the other way around. Giving birth to this path at a time filled with such chaos, confusion and complexity has not be easy but it is slowly taking shape.

The strange case of Mr. Jay

2010-08-05T14:59:00.000-07:00

Soul retrieval is a traditional term that refers to the process of recovering some part of you that has been lost or stolen away due to trauma or what has been experienced as overwhelmingly traumatic to the individual. It usually happens in childhood, more often between seven and ten years of age, but can happen anytime. Modern theorists conjecture that soul retrieval is descriptive of a psychological process, but that is not completely accurate. While it is true that aspects of the individual can be lost or supressed or shutdown there is a big difference between "soul" and "psyche." Thus, overpsychologizing the process is not useful.

Mr. Jay had zeroed in on a time period in his life when he felt overwhelmed and incapable and wanted out. He was very sick and may well have died but instead, as we discovered, a part of him left. That part of him had its own urges and sense of place and purpose, and did not view his body, or the environment as anything more than vehicles for his soul to experience what it wanted to experience.

However, emotionally overwhelmed and traumatized as he was, his soul experienced a deep incompatability with what was happening and feared damage. So it fled.

What was unique about this case was where it fled to. When he retrieved this part of himself he instantly experienced two things. First was seeing his body and the environment in an unattached, dispassionate way; he didn't identify with them. They were not "I" or "mine." Second, and this is the really interesting bit, he remembered where his soul part had gone.

Apparently it went to an alternative universe of some kind and he experienced living there. His description was detailed and matter-of-fact.

Normally this is not possible. It is possible to view alternative universes and even move around in them but if you try to go into one too deeply, and actually live there, the pull on the chord that connects you to your body will undergo a powerful tug. If it breaks you die so usually it will snap you back at that point. Lucid dreamers and other adventurers know what I am talking about.

When the soul breaks only part of you leaves. Where it goes and why has always been intriguing to soul retrievers but it is unusual for a person to beable to know and be able to describe where it has been and that was not just a place. It was a whole other universe.

Such experiences bring a whole new meaning to the term, "multi-dimensional human." Often I wonder how many empty people might actually be living in some other universe, and what would happen if they came back. What will happen if they don't?

Two point - not doing so you can stop the world

2010-08-05T14:18:00.000-07:00

If you haven't attended one of my classes or groups or have not heard about the two point then go out and learn about it.

Not doing is when you get into the space of not thinking, not reacting, not filtering perceptions. It is not a state of unconsciousness but a state of heightened awareness of things just as they are.

The process of two pointing helps you achieve that state, and become more successful at accessing it whenever you want. The purpose of it is so you can "stop the world" and the purpose of stopping the world is so that your "not doing" can become clearer and clearer. It that way you become a seer.

Stopping the world means discarding the dualities and polarities that have been foisted on to us by the world, by consensual reality, social, cultural and familial conditioning, religion, and all of that. "That" is the baggage that has shaped our mind and we have mistaken for reality. By stopping the world we step out of our programming but still have access to the resources required to function in it when we need to. This is not about escape.

When we stop the world we are not hypnotized by it. Many people reject one thing and pursue the opposite, pendulum like. They are still hypnotized. On the other hand, if you take whatever bugs or obsesses you and ask "what would it be like if....." and then two point that you will discover not doing in a way that stops the world, stops YOUR world.

In other words, it undoes a bit of the hypnosis, kind of line by line.

This is rewarding for a number of reasons. One is simply that it begin to free you up, unclutters your mind. It also helps you unravel the layers of conditioning that makes your mind less than transparent. It is hard to perceive from the soul level or commune with spirit when the mind is fogged.

After a while you will begin to discover that this clear state makes it possible to explore hitherto inaccessible realms of being, and do stuff at the non-local level to shift the universe, or shift your universe in a direction that is intrinsically more valuable to everyone concerned.

You begin taking responsibility for the universe, but not being neurotic about it.

Healing

2010-08-02T10:50:00.000-07:00

After having looked at and in many cases experienced hundreds of method of healing I realized that all healing comes down to this: patterns of information condense as energy which condenses as matter. Healing is to either remove patterns, or reorganize them, depending on what it is you are trying to do. I experienced this in a cave inside a mountain where a spiritual healer and his assistants secretly ply their trade.

However, I have also come to understand that you can't heal what you don't know about. As a result, removing or reorganizing a particular pattern may reveal another one and nowadays these things seem to be like a never ending stack of pankakes that can never be eaten. There is either not enough time, or too much indigestion.

So........looking at the meta-patterns seems to be the way to go. Two of these are particularly important. Seperation, or specifically, abandonment from God, is one. Lots of people like to talk about this but then lots of the same people tend to dismiss it as a fantasy. That is understandable. Again, you can't heal something that you don't actually know about. Thinking does nt make it so. In other words, you have to be able to find this experience and then do something with it. And this sense of abandonment, or disconnection from the source level of being, can be seemingly inaccessible. Not because it doesn't exist but because it exists at the deeper part of ourselves and is something the ego resists and will defend against. The ego needs to be well tamed before it will allow true soul pain to be addressed.

The other meta-pattern is something everybody likes to talk about also, and even brain researchers are getting in one the act. This is fear. But I'm not talking about the everyday concept of fear. I'm talking about fear as a program that dominates our biology because we are born into it, and we pass it on. This program has mistakenly become part of the human condition. We are born in fear, we organize ourselves so that fear dominates our social existance, and we spend much of our time seeking refuge from it but knowing we can never escape from it.

And therein is the lie. We were not created with this program running. We created it, infected ourselves, and bred a species of being and a world where the program reigns over us like some kind of super-computer without which we cannot exist. The fact is, so much of our healing issues - whether it be in our body or in our life - come down to this program running against our will, and against our best intentions to be and to live differently. In other words, try as we might, it is like something simply won't let us be what we know we can be.

The program has to go. Not so easy? That may be true. But it can be tracked and dismantled by removing the pieces and reorganizing ourselves accordingly. The whole universe is on our side with this. You see, believe it or not, the cosmos is an intelligence and it is trying to achieve certain things right now, and this is one of them.

We came to heal the earth.......

2010-07-08T14:10:00.000-07:00

Q. What do you mean "the earth."

A. One way to look at is that the body of the earth is the earth itself. The mind of the earth is the behaviour of the people on it and the spirit of the earth is the intention of those people.

Q. This is an ecological movement.

A. In the purest sense, yes. A lot of damage has been done to the earth and the beings of the earth, and that is largely based on the berhaviour of individuals and how we have organized ourselves, which is itself based on intentions rooted in emotional diseases perpetuated and passed on down through the ages.

Q. These intentions are largely unconscious then.

A. Yes. But as individuals heal themselves and start shifting their values new possibilities begin to rise in consciousness and intentions begin to shift too.

Q. When really only a small percentage of the population is actively working to heal itself how will the earth ever be healed in the way you describe.

A. You might have noticed that with all the media and communication technology around nowadays the barrier between individuals is becoming increasingly transparent. The result of that is that what I feel you begin to feel. That causes shifts in individuals and groups that may appear to be at the periphery of change. They feel and respond to the tide even though they really don't know it even exists.

Q. It seems to me that this same technology is also being used to stop people from changing and developing different intentions, or should I say.....independent intentions.

A. Yes that is true. There are forces on the earth trying very hard to in-trance us all and seduce us into certain subtle kinds of karmic transactions that distract us from paying attention and responding to the tide I mentioned previously.

Q. So it is a kind of battlefield?

A. Yes, but one that has in many cases become extremely subtle. And it's not about winning or losing. It is about deciding to make the shift or not.

Please see: karmic transactions, the new selling tool.

Remote Viewing

2010-07-05T10:40:00.001-07:00

Remote viewing is a term coined by psychic Ingo Swann to describe the training undertaken by the U.S. military team in the Stargate program. Swann's intent was to use scientific protocols to prove that certain kinds of "clairvoyance" could be learned by anyone. What they discovered was that anyone can do "remote viewing" but individuals do have different innate skills which are enhanced by this training. That varies with the individual, and therefore certain individuals can become very good at certain kinds of remote viewing and not as good at others. Related skills include psychometry, intuitive or analogous thinking, intentional healing, time travel, bi-location, telepathy, remote influencing, dowsing, and others, as well as the basic skills, called, Co-ordinate Remove View, Associative Remote Viewing, Extended Remote Viewing, all of which were designed to be able to perform specific operations of value to clients.

There are different theories about why remote viewing (and related skills) actually works. And it certainly does work since it has been used by law enforcement, intelligence agencies, archeologists, financial traders and numerous corporations to greatly increase their success at various endeavours. This is not in question. Scientists have even crunched the numbers and come up with an average success rate.

Forty years of research have also shown that certain factors increase success. First is what is sometimes called "numinosity." That refers to the individual's motivation; how important the work and the project is to them. It also refers to how much positive intent is mustered. In other words, if the individuals feel strongly that what they are doing is important, and they feel good about it and the possibilities inherent in it, the liklihood of success increases greatly. As a result, when the individual finds little value in what they are doing, or helping individuals (that is, other individuals involved in the project) have a lot of resistance or negative intent, the success rate plummets.

There are some important lessons about life in that discovery.

A second factor is when the target has more or less entropy. This is why medical diagnosis (physical, psychological or spiritual) and destructive consequences (prophecies) are two of the easiest targets to work with. The more entropy that is being generated the more the target stands out and can be easily viewed. This is where ethical considerations also come into it. As physics research is fond of reminding us, whatever we put our attention on is being influenced by our attention. Therefore, when we come across something that is unbalanced, or moving in a destructive direction, it behooves us to ask for a correction, request healing, or learn to practice seeing the situation moving in a constructive direction. In the case of negative prophecies, in reference to yourself, others, an enterprise or the world, there is a whole set of instructional tools for finding other possibilities and making decisions that will increase the liklihood of something better.

Here there are some more important lessons about life. The goal is never to impose your will, but find relevent possibilities that exist beyond individual will, and use your will to energize them - to make them more probable. There are many influences in the human psyche that run contrary to what is optimal for all concerned, and these need to be bypassed. After a while you will discover that the universe wants everyone to get what they really want, and to do it in the way that is most helpful and balanced and meaningful for everyone, ihcluding the earth and the cosmos. That is why an understanding of non-local consciousness is key to understanding this work, as is training in intuition, or the "knowing sense."

The third factor that strongly influences success is referred to as geo-cosmic weather. I would add intra-psychic weather to that category. More on this later.

Green Index

2010-06-28T16:19:00.000-07:00

One of the things our financial system is missing is an effective green index. By that I mean a way of rating financial products based on the degree to which they are creating momentum in the direction of supporting a clean, healthy environment.

It might seem difficult to determine what kind of enterprise is on the negative side of the ledger and which is on the positive side, but not really, once you break it all down. And of course some products would probably be at zero.

If you peer into the future a little, and see what a product is creating in respect to its impact on the world currently and probably into the future its index will become clear because you can see it. And looking at factors that might lower the index or increase it can also point to the kind of incremental changes a company might usefully make.

If investors increasingly moved their money towards products that are moving up the index (and out of the negative)more momentum would be created.
