About Five Minutes

 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...

 I wonder how much faith you would put into the sincerity of a person who says they are self made and came from nothing, then it came to light that their career began at their father's real estate company? Which they were given and were able to expand because of their father's financial and political backing that enabled them to do their first deals, demolishing and renovating landmark buildings. Would you trust a person who in order to avoid the financial ruin of their businesses used methods which were legally dubious to avoid paying taxes, and whose own lawyers described their activities as improper. When we consider the people who have come from poverty or lived near the edge of poverty throughout parts of their younger lives and have been able to build a world around themselves that supports a comfortable living experience for their families, then we can compare and see what self made really looks like. For one to be raised in a household that has millions of dollars avail...

 I wanted to do a little compare of the support for scientific research and development over the years, so that I can relate any current changes to those made during a large part of my life. What I have found is that since 1980 every leader of our country has added to the amount of money given to assist the pursuit scientific understanding. There seems to have been a general consensus that funding the sciences was a good way to spend a growing portion of the U.S.A.'s budget throughout the years. Per my quick review, there have been cuts to certain areas while other research received some boosts over the past 45 years, but overall money was added to the sciences. This review has found that the latrgest cuts overall have been proposed in two of the last three administrations. It is recognized that even as some administrations sought to add to the overall budget for scientific research and development, some years this was negated by inflation. Still we have seen the largest cuts from...

 I recently read a post that included words of Teddy Roosevelt, "A person who says they are American, but something else also, isn't an American at all". That creates an extremely limited view of what an American is and shuts out the history of every human living within the areas of the USA. Teddy Roosevelt did a lot of good things for America, he is often recognized as one of our better presidents. However his statement has some issues. In his time there was no Irish American, just micks and paddy's, there was no African American, just negros and colored; there was no Asian American, just orientals. He believed in white superiority despite the fact that he did a few good deeds to support a select handful of blacks during his time as a leader. He definitely was not thinking of any Native American when he said American. The post also mentions that foreign flags are being raised everywhere. I have to remind myself here that every state has it's own flag, as well as...

 This one is all about me, for me and self serving. I am nothing. I am attempting to understand everything. I am seeking a position in awareness from which I can help a world of people to see their position in reality just a little different. I have no power. I am energy. The difference I seek in all is love. I hold the body in my presence as energy. The love I share is one of universal proportions. I want ease to surround me. I am creative. I am movement. I love receiving love. A perspective of love spread across the globe can then be spread across a star system and then a galaxy. Everyone can grow in knowing and awareness. I am equal to everything. I am part of you. I am an extension of all. My love is layered but open to all. My love is equal. I am inaction. You are action. I am an observer. I create worlds. All worlds grow on their own. I am a pace that is balanced for me. I seek ease in you. I am power working through all. I am death. I fail when I am not helping everyone to ...

At this moment and for about a month something new is living within my body. It is amazing to consider how I have bacteria living in and on my body which are so many generations old that they go back to my birth. They were carried by my mother and were part of my initial colonization, little adventurers seeking to extend their lineage by being part of the world as Jason. It is doubtful that all the strains have survived, but there must be babies of babies so many generations back that make up my bodies current world.  The new resident that seems to have found a home within my skull is acting similar to other colonized creatures, in that it is not currently trying to kill me or make me feel bad in general. It seems to have found a hiding spot in some nasal cavity near my right ear; I say this because since it first entered I have had the almost continuous woosh of my blood moving through that ear. It is interesting to consider a small colony of this new resident living there, having...

 I don't agree with the broad discrepancy in pay across the lines of the corporate world. But I also feel there is a positive way to make changes that will allow everyone to come out comfortably as you may have already read in my previous writing. The issue is the anger that can rise up in the mind as one considers how much money some people receive for the time that they have put into the world when compared to others. Anger is normal, we are human and our history is full of different ways we have expressed our anger over money. We have torn down walls, killed people and destroyed cities to try to bring ourselves to the level of the rich. But history has shown again and again how the anger turns into passivity as one feels a sense of accomplishment and we watch as someone new steps up to the platform to take on the role of leading everyone to wealth by setting the example. They and a small group lead in the new wave of growth as the majority received the tricklings with little to...

 As a portion of everything I recognize that I include light within the full spanse of my being and it helps to create the great layers of existence that are available for us all to be. But I am not fooled by what energy is and how the layers of experiential forms take on their own roll and follow individuated paths with light and dark moving through them. We are all a combination pack just by being. I am the deepest depth of non existence and I am all possibilities of whatever creative play can bring awareness to that point. As form I will find an end and decay will begin, if things go right the remains will be burned up and reconnected to the earth. If I end up being buried without extra chemicals being added that would be fine too, just for the clean earth connection. But along the way to that point I will experience life in many ways. My life has included cuts, bruises, broken bones and many different physical pains. I have felt depression, sadness, fear and everything that c...

 When we recognize the status of each and every human as an extension of the whole that reality has brought forth for the joy of experiencing this world within our solar system, galaxy and universe we can understand that each individual has the right to receive an equal compensation based on time given to the working world regardless of status in a corporation or independent employment. When a certain set of humans is compensated, be it by a company or even a government, in a fashion that unequally allows them access to such luxuries as food and a comfortable independent home, then equity is lost and no matter how much face value a government or company puts into the ideals of accessibility, diversity, equity and inclusion it does not make up for the discrepancies in income and reward that different people receive for giving part of their life for the betterment of the human experience. Neither position nor degree of education is enough to qualify anyone to receive extra compensati...

 We exist on this planet, we are a community spread across the land and sea. We are humans working together with what the world has to offer, in the societies that we are part of. No matter what, we are a part of it all, and we have to choose our own perspective which can determine our level of happiness. You have to make an effort either way you go. You either have to work on something in society and use some of your energy to complain about why you hate your work, life, society, etc. I will warn you, this group does not often grow. The people I know like this have often been in the same place for a long time and have only inspired others to grow so they could get away from the complaining. The other option is to work on something in society, and use some of your energy to take steps towards a job or goal that will make you a little bit happier. The action you take will often create small steps and once in a while you will have to jump to get closer to your desired outcome. Wh...

 The depths of being that run just under our human awareness are almost overwhelming. I often find myself living in a brain that just wants to smile and laugh so everyone else can see that it is OK to find the same happy place within themselves. Then I look inside and find waves of energy flowing out of every person that I am connected to, and I flounder in concern. I have been given so much, and I try to share It, but I feel there is so much more I can do. I see myself growing in earthly understanding, but I still want to become a word spewing guru that inspires an entire world to look beyond it. I am impatient, though I know that I have all the time in existence, so I walk slow. If each of us could become aware of the underlying movement of energy that is between everyone, then we may find a different course of action in developing society and the rules of engagement. The empath knows the connection by just being, but so many of us need to find ways to open our eyes. Sometimes I ...

 There are moments when the world is pressing in on you, your thoughts circle around and your stress levels slowly eat away at your health. Stop letting that happen, there is enough in the world that is trying to kill you, no need in letting something work from your mind out. Stress is a tough one to figure out though, so I better get started. The easy way is to live a life that has less cause for stress; keep an easy going job, live below your means and do things that don't take too much difficult work. If you cannot do that, then let's hope there's a way to deal with stress. I have never been very good at dealing with stress head on, I often try to just let the world do its thing while I move around and do my thing. I put stressful situations behind me and forget they ever happened. If a stresser gets in my face too much, then I feel a great urge to step away from it. I assume that life does not have to be stressful, so why allow it to be. In dealing with stress tha...

 Imagine living in a space time non continuum; what would that mean for you and how do you recognize it? I see a lot of potential in human consciousness changing the structure of reality as we know it, we may find a way to disconnect from the assumed continuum and become unaffected by time. If you live as a being beyond atomic structure, one that is energy taking in experiences, then you can be refreshed and reset when you step into each place that you experience. How often do you have a dream where you are in a younger body, perhaps you are even a child once in a while. If you can experience this in your dreams, then what is keeping you from making it happen in this reality? Nothing is, you are that energy, start practicing now. I still call the energy body the soul, and you should feel free to choose any other name to reference the self beyond physical structure. As soul you are at least nearly eternal, stretching your experience out over multiple landscapes from beyond any assu...

 We are each given a chance at every moment to take the path of good or evil, and by some we are told that the middle ground is treacherous. Well, I wonder over such choices and statements. I mean certainly we have learned there is no place between communism and democracy, or republican and democrat, it is either one or the other and the two shall not mix. Then we find the never ending saga of good heroes vs bad villains, and if you are good you are always good, while the bad person is always bad. It is true, if you drop a kitten off with a biker gang, then it will be road kill before the end of the day; really, could you imagine a bunch of bikers carrying around a kitten and stopping at a gas station to give it a lick of heavy cream? All of em taking pictures because it has cream on its nose; never gonna happen. OK, maybe I can imagine it, and I imagine a lot of life being balanced between the extremes. The classic cowboy in black vs the cowboy in white is a mindset that can be pu...

Forever strive towards new beginnings and through challenges, seek change and movement forward in life. But still remember to take time to reflect upon all the life you have lived and the evolution of your being and consciousness. Know who you are and see who you have been, rejoice in your development. Love, PEACE

 There are so many reasons to hate this world. There are the little things that can be frustrating and leave us questioning reason; like the actions of other people when they seem to be making choices out of ignorance. If we disagree with a political official or the education system it can make us angry at everything. Sometimes it is witnessing racism, class descrimination or other social injustice that we feel powerless against. With natural disasters wiping out homes, towns and even cities, it seems like the world itself is against us. We can find violence, pain, murder, and a continuous stream of death pouring across the Earth; all of which can make this place seem so unwelcoming and we may grow to despise everything. But I wonder over my focus, and consider the possibility of finding reasons to hate this place a little less. Is it what we are staring at that drives our attitude?  It is not good to pretend that none of the negatives in the world exist, because as long as an...

 The seasons of our world vary across it's vast surface, and each variety offers its own wonders. In some areas one may find a slowing down with snow, a rebirth with the rains, bright colors under the sun and then the pleasing coolness of cloud covered skies as leaves fall. While in other places there will be what may seem like a continuous sunny day all year round. As different as the valley can be from the mountain top, and the poles from the equator, so too the weather systems vary over the land and in its seas.  People also come with a variety of seasons; sometimes we are warm and sunny, inviting people into our moment with a smile. Other times we can be cold and rain down on the feelings or experiences of those around us. The way we interact with people can express the season of our emotional state, and often it will. But we can have emotions and still allow people to have their own experiences in any given moment that they find themselves, even when they are in our proxi...

The dynamics of the mind allow for consciousness to rest parts of the brain that are used to remain aware of this reality, letting go of control completely so the body is in charge of everything; the bladder, the bowels, keeping lungs breathing and the heart beating while we lay unaware. However advancing the power we hold over our minds we can open up more possibilities, in that we can lay aside half of our brain for the pleasure of dreaming worlds, creatures and imaginings of all sorts being wrapped into our awareness while remaining awake to the activities that this body is taking part in. The brains capacity for multilayered thinking is the goal at hand, the body has limits based on realities flow of energy, as created for this level of experiential play. These limits however are entwined within each of our minds.  Can the limits of flesh reality be overridden by awareness? We are energy, to be able to pour enough of ourselves into being energy, focusing on the movement of o...

I find great joy in mind play, diving through possible other worlds that we call dreams or imagination, while trying to dissect existence as we know it. In my play I sometimes forget to just enjoy being in a human body, then I am reminded of the heart beating in its chest, and the nervous system designed for me to travel through its many parts. As I sat meditating this morning I listened to the clock ticking away time, then a pulse in my ear played a song of joy flowing through my veins and I turned inward and remembered that my body is the first dimension that I need to understand. We so often look in our mirrors and think, that is me, which is easy as pie because our senses tell us so. But as I was just experiencing my body from my brain down, the idea returned that we are more than what we see and feel with the outer nerve endings. We exist as human forms, we have experiences from birth that make us focus on our exterior and forget about where our human awareness comes from. I re...

Living things, dead things, living things. Sometimes, I feel a deep connection to the earth when I am cutting down a healthy tree. I try to use as much of the tree as I can for setting up a warm comfortable place that my family can connect in. Some of us eat as carnivores, vegetarians or any one of the many dietary types, and each is able to work with the environment in its  own way. Really it all comes down to being aware of what you are killing, why you are killing it, giving it as much respect as possible from its birth to its death. Treating anything that you are going to eat as if it is not worthy of a natural and life enriching environment depletes your power when you eat it because everything is tied into energy.  The energy that goes into the living thing that you are now about to eat goes into you. We all kill and we all eat life that has stopped living. You are a human on a planet, there are bugs and plants everywhere. Walk through a field and you can be pretty sure...
