About Five Minutes

 It is OK to recognize dark thoughts and feelings within yourself. It is OK to think of horrible things, we all have the darkest and most gruesome ideas pass through us once in a while. Anyone who denies it is only denying a portion of the truth in all existence; they are going to need space to grow. We want to be all light and love. When we recognize the layers of reality within each of us, is when we can see that the dark thoughts and ideas are a tiny portion of our selves. The human can feel these things so strongly that we can worry over what we might do, or just want to do it and see what happens. It is perfectly natural for our brains, with billions of neurons and our minds that are connected through the subconscious to thousands or millions of lives, to have some bad thoughts flow through. This does not make anyone a monster, and acting on these thoughts is not what the deeper layers of your self wants, but it understands and you can find love beyond them if you were to slip...

 Spirituality is in and out of the body. You are a human on this Earth, living a life with money, time, food, and weather; facing the ongoing need to keep yourself alive through everything. It is hard to not be focused on these things because of how each affects your comfort. Imagining ourselves without money, food or shelter can bring us to tears and high levels of anxiety because we feel like our body is all we have. Our pain, being cold or hot and hungry are all so real and seem inescapable when we are in the middle of any one of them. But we are able to see beyond each when we find our own connection to the spiritual landscape within our body and just outside the mind. I have not discovered a way to survive without food or having some way to stay warm in freezing weather, I have found that we can experience hunger as something outside of what we are. Cold and hot can be felt as energy hovering around a form you are using to take each in for the pleasure of their presence. We ca...

 I have a home, I have some property and I like to think that I have a right to use it without worrying about someone coming in and staking claim to any part of it. But, I have to consider the history behind this house and property; it was once a land where an entire native nation lived, shared experiences and then was nearly killed off and penned up in little areas. My land was not always white people's land, along with all the land of this country. I call you to recognize where you are, how you have what you have, and where your people came from. If the generations of your family do not stretch back into this place before the Spanish hit the South and the English later trampled the North, then you have to consider how equal your right to the land is as anyone else who is trying to live and be part of a community that has some ease. You are equally a foreign presence putting territorial pressure on the original people of the land, as much so as anyone else who's families arriv...

  Finding yourself in between states of certainty is the wonder of growing awareness. To recognize the human, the organs, cells down to the atoms through the creative layers that make it up is wonderful. Then to understand self as a energy beyond those things that cause physical reality and knowing what has been called soul can release one to another level of perception beyond fear into pure love. As love one can accept it's place in the light that is a portion of the force in everything and from there we sence the between. Between all the states of being there are moments of not being anything at all; it is when you notice these points in your being that you can find understanding of the connection between everything and nothing. You, me, everyone and everything are equal parts of something so miraculous that has created billions of layers of creative experience from absolutely nothing. In nothing we exist and as that each of us is connected to everything. Separation fades as one ...

 I look around the society of the United States, a people that I believe in and trust on so many personal levels. But as a whole system I see blockades, loopholes and process designs that block Americans of color from many positions and general development despite the level of knowledge and education they have. There are little variances in the way our system and I hope by accident the people also put extra negative pressure on our fellow Americans of African descent. One can see similar actions and conditions applied across the board towards all our people in the nation or corporations, but there seems to be a way that the whole system aims at negatively affecting the development and growth of those in our society that have darker skin tones. Ramping up with the highest nuance creating the tripping points for Americans with African roots. From our school system which starts to create this pressure at the beginning levels of education to the money holding banks, corporations and go...

 As we grow in understanding, it is a wonder to consciousness once you realize that the body is a moment for the eternal energy awareness. When you see that, then the body is to be cherished for all that it brings. Not because it is the beginning of a soul, or that it determines the rest of your existence; but because it allows you to have this moment. Each second of life is a play for your thinking self, there are avenues to happiness within every experience when you are in touch with the portion of your self that is actively aware just beyond your brain. Knowing you are alive at this level, you can see where anyone not looking at life from this vantage point is missing an opportunity to be in a truly joy filled world based on love for the moments. You also see that there is no before or after life to worry about, because you are before and you are after each human experience and this bodies life. You know that you are energy and you see the whole world as a part of the many layer...

 Life can bring wonder, even going through death of self and others can be amazing to the experiential soul. I am brought back to this topic because of the suffering and lack of certainty I see in the eyes of people after a loved one dies. I will start with bringing what we actually exist as into perspective. We are a tiny speck of our true life when we are living here as humans. Like you, I am flesh which is created by energy consciously touching atoms to make such a vivid illusion of life. Here we live our life disconnected from the rest of existence because we recognize ourselves as individuals. But it is amazing to me that we forget our individual is made of many parts, that are made of more parts, and so on we move beyond the microcosm until we recognize our self as just energy. Consider energy and human death, the life experiencing self was just touching the atomic layer of reality, but has pulled out of that portion of the structure of our world leaving a different energy th...

 When I see my child, a mate, a coworker and even strangers finding joy I almost always have a sense of joy filling me. There is no doubt that we are social beings, here to grow, play, work and die in a community. I have thought about and wondered over death since I was 12, at times I determined that life was without reason due to it's definite end. My vantage point has changed but human death is as certain as ever and still I work to find a way to make life more wonder filled for others. I appease my own desires but also am trying to open minds to a world full of happy people; I feel it is a part of why I exist, even if I have to live to be 150 to help it happen. We try to live by logic as it flows in from the human brain, until the vision of self is expanded to soul, then beyond to being a portion of all, everything and nothing. From there one is the whole and life is a portion of a limitless supply of possible experiences as the entirety of every portion of existence. It is at t...

 I find myself worrying about everyone's physical being, but truly it is their connection to understanding that I am concerned about. Suffering and pain, a long time ago I wrote that these were what life was made of. At that time I was living as nothing more than a body on a planet in a universe that I pictured to be as big as our galaxy. My concept of being was so limited and my focus was on one level of life that is truly microscopic when we allow ourselves to know more about the universe with all it's galaxies. It is mind blowing when one can begin to imagine the layers of consciousness that are held within the awareness of every human body in every state of being. Then the realization of the wonder behind having any form of thinking at all should be amazing as we stand as one portion of a whole that can be so confounding. Because we have been standing here thinking of ourselves as all important, when really we are each a tool of our whole to experience another possibility o...

 Imagine, it is where great ideas have been born. Dream, it is where wonderful worlds pass through your awareness and open you up to the possibilities. Live, it is where experience becomes so real and certain to our consciousness. Die, it is the wonder of letting go to find yourself in the awe of creation stretching out from your nothing. Be, it is what you are doing no matter where, when or how you are doing it. Join me in recognizing the beautiful play in it all. You make it as excellent as your observing self chooses. Love, PEACE

 I tell everyone, you can create your own reality, you push your energy to great levels when you build yourself up. Each day is a block stacked on top of the last one and with them you grow and you can drive change. But it sometimes feels like no one hears a word and in frustration I see this kind of thinking.  "We each exist as individualized entities, free thinking extensions of consciousness tapped into these little physical bodies. We as humans will often think that no matter what we are doing or what we have connected ourselves to, that we remain existing as those separate people. Really, we do, but there is a change if you work for a corporation or accept your part in a community. When you join your energy to a larger group, then you are wrapping yourself into that groups energy. If you are working for a company, when you walk in the front door or turn on your computer, right then you are wrapping yourself in the blanket of that companies energy. With that, no matter how...

 We often assume that we are conscious only of the moments that we have awareness of the world that is in and around our brain and nervous system. But we move through long stretches of not being aware of anything in time and space. As we sleep our consciousness becomes completely disconnected from everything in existence. If we become aware of these moments as part of our experience through consciousness as potential, poised to be aware of anything at all, then that brings even the absence of awareness into being a portion of our conscious state. Similarly, at points in your existence you may become so engrossed in an activity that you forget time is passing until it is brought to your attention. Your experience becomes timeless within the play of time. This applies to the observable world in that you exist as a consciousless potential for all possibilities in active awareness. It is your non awareness that creates a large portion of your existence and as that it is part of what yo...

 Your conscious being lies just beyond the physical reality that your senses bring into your perception. As you dream or stretch into alternative dimensions you are flipping into that state of disconnection which has a starting point that is upside down and backwards from where we assume to be right now. It is then that we slip just the tip of our awareness into another body that is aware of itself and it draws us in to think of it as a reality we are living. Our understanding changes slightly and what can be real is altered, opening up what is available for conscious play. Your mind is a doorway into varied waves of perceivable worlds, and as a being of energy you can find yourself in so many places of wonder. The great gift you can offer to the world as you return from the multitude of possibilities is bringing some of the beauty you find back for the rest of the conscious beings here to grow in recognizing the amazing things that can happen right here. Together we are making thi...

 Going with the flow of the community, it is hard to not be drawn into the way that they are moving. The energy can be enticing when it seems like everyone is part of something bigger. But you have to decide for yourself if the group of people is actually doing the work to make the world a better place. We are each trying to live and get the most out of life; every human on this planet wants to get something out of being here. In order to do this we must each put some effort into creating a space for our own needs and recognize the same needs in every person across the planet. If your group is not taking part in seeing the whole human race as needing an equal share of what life has to offer, then the group must change or you have to disconnect from them if they will not do so. When enough people disconnect from a community effort that is not supportive of life for all, then it will have to change to meet the new mindset that its people have. Together we set the pace and direction t...

 Education should be fun. We learn best during play and it is play that really opens the mind to taking in information. A happy and excited mind will want the knowledge moving into it; we have to be sure that our education system is designed to avoid boredom and disinterest. We can teach our children in a way that brings joy and a desire to learn. The desk should be a pause in the field of growth through play. The world offers training in play and as children we learn with smiles. We see the hope for more learning when children enter school; we can build classrooms that open the door to continue their growth through movement and action with some study mixed in. When study is the part of a curriculum that you choose to dive into, so you can better understand what you are leaning to do, then the desk becomes a tool used in joy. Let us evolve our education system into one that creates minds that wonder over the challenge of learning something new and embrace a lifelong continuum of de...

 If one small group of people is allowed to play with the lives of many and they show little care for human suffering, then we have reached a point when the leadership of the country that allows it needs to be realigned to serve the many rather than the few. The responsibility of creating the change cannot be left in the hands of those that use the force and lives of others for their own gains. We place leaders in positions of power and expect them to help the people to prosper and have the ability to live in comfort with a level of ease that will still keep them strong but not at all worried about where their next healthy meal will come from. If those leaders fail to show care for human life, or they begin to manipulate others to grow their own wealth and sense of power, then there must be a rule in place that allows the people to remove them from that position until they are able to prove that they are truly able to serve the people. We the people of this world are to work togeth...

 God is everything. God is everyone. Allah surrounds each of us. All that exists is within Brahman. You are a portion of the universe. No person or place is closer to God than you, we are all directly connected to God. Your heart can guide you when you live by love. No person is more anointed than you to serve love and find joy in all that God's creation offers. Destroying others and tearing anyone down is against God. Live in love, know fear but do not let it be your main guide. Guide and remind others with love when they are not doing the same. You are to put no person or place between you and God. You are a descendant of the stars, made of the atoms that they created. We are all born of the original explosion of energy into existence. With the Big bang we see the birth of everything, stretching down to you and me, we are all equal. The same basic atoms that make my body are in you, neither of us is more a part of the universe than the other. Love, PEACE

 Why are we here? I have come to this place, as this little tiny mass of atoms on a slightly larger clump of floating dirt so that I can have human experiences. I am here to watch and feel the snow fall, to smell the warmth of spring and summer wrap their energy around me. I am here to love and receive love. What do I want? I want every being on this planet to have access to comfort and an open door to joy. I also want my own experience to be gently adventuresome, surrounded by happy humans loving and sharing the gift of existence. Why do I want this? I see every person as a piece of the light and love that is pouring out of the first thought of "Í can". We are all doing the experiencing that makes up what can be a joy in living and growing together. Be part of the wonder in the world. Love, PEACE

 I have been working on being disconnected from time by realizing myself as an energy and not a physical being. As energy we are moving with a much looser connection to time and do not have to be affected by it in the same way. So we can be 40, or 35 at will by focusing on that point in our energy experience and making it what we are now. We are each full of power and it is when we remember to fill our bodies with love and share it with the world that surrounded us, then we have started the journey to eternal youth. Using the body in a fun way that keeps it loose and strong will create a higher quality and more youthful experience for you. Invigorating the mind with knowledge and inner seeking will grow your ability to function at higher levels of mental play in the world and within your own flesh. You may even become aware of your presence as conscious energy tapped into a brain and nervous system for experiencing the body and the world. It is work that becomes wonderful when you ...

 I exist as a human on a planet spinning around a star. When one sees their being from this perspective they may have a tendency to recognize how little each of us is. I am tiny compared to trees and miniscule next to the planet. But besides physical being there is mental awareness and the life of the mind which is both connected to the physical and free of all form. Our being which resides before atoms is both completely caring for the experience gained from this reality and simply observing what happens. When we live as physical beings we are best off if we find balance between the joy of experience and the peace of an outside observer. As one who is here to experience, we can each find the most joy by taking in the world around us as moments of physical interaction given through a body. As an outside observer we can acknowledge our eternal ability to have the experiences multiple times over and not feel a need to force them into the world right now. Mingling the two perspectives...
