About Five Minutes

 Tonight while letting my imagination run, I found myself covered in bugs that were eating up my dead body. You may think it gross, but that is exactly how the natural world cleans house; it is actually very holistic for us to die and get eaten. However, there are so many of us, it would be quite messy if we just let people holistically work their way back into the soil where they lay. I just found there are natural burial options available, near Ithaca NY you can be buried without all the chemicals and blockades separating you from the world, at Greensprings Natural Cemetery Preserve this is something you can do. Back to my imagination, I was a bit freaked at first, but I felt better about where I am in life after they were done. Imagination can be a wild tool at times. I often find that my imaginings are rather dark when measured by other people; it sometimes puts them off. But it is quite balancing when I hold them up to what comes across as the light of my visions and hopes. I...

 There are many avenues into the layers of consciousness that open our minds to the greater potential of our being at ease in the world. Some have the door opened once and are able to walk through their life with that single experience guiding their heart and mind for an entire lifetime, without ever stepping over the line into mystical awarenesses again. Then there are others that find themselves able to swing the door open freely, finding the avenue to alternative thinking easy to access and walk in and out of the layers of awareness throughout their lives, being reminded regularly of the possibilities beyond the here and now. And still another group chooses to not open the door for themselves and it never fully opens on its own, they are content in the act of just being as they are. Life is as it is for those who choose this path and there is no need to dig beyond the inspiration recieved by the stories of the ones who have shared their understanding of the layers of existence. ...

It is the slow and steady pace that seems to be required so much more often when one is reaching out for understanding. Finding connection in all that is God and the waves of creative play coursing through existence turns the mind upside down, and one must continue to search because it is all even more amazing to see as understanding grows. We can find links between a path crossed and a moments pause that seem to have been put in place to change our life. Everything working as an order of the chaos, bending space and time to move us and alter the pattern we have been seeing swirl before our eyes. We are challenged to recognize the amazing movement in the chaos we call order. Every aspect of the balance in existence is a wonderful portion of the play. The boundary between good and bad is one that can be balanced with a subtle sway. God, is not good or bad, it is everything and nothing all at once. So why would one work to only be good or bad? What use is only half of a creative flow mo...

Mahatma Gandhi was quoted: "An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. Where there is love there is life. In a gentle way, you can shake the world. The future depends on what we do in the present." This man is said to have had quite an affect on the world. It seems he got results through intelligent speach, peaceful protest, peaceful despite action taken against him and his community, and his own calm action.  On the other hand we see that wars have been waged for centuries, anger and violence poured out from one group to another; often leaving greater poverty in the wake of such actions. We are good at destroying each other with words and violent force, but it often destroys both sides in various ways. My faith lies in balance, intelligence and action that builds a world of peace around each of us as an individ...

On this walk with your consciousness, where is your energy focused? Have you considered the possibility of your brain being one in a billion that can be adjusted to have an awareness of multiple planes of existence? Or that the tools that alter our perception are connected to higher level certainties which our brains are seeking out, so we call upon these tools to spark changes within us that will spread to the world around, creating a wonderland of life and love for all to enjoy in mental peace filled bliss? Are you searching, digging into the depths of understanding; trying to push your brain to new levels of certainty? As you do so, beware of sticking too heavily to one or the other new understanding that you find; life is forever changing. Even certainty has to be flexible, the most open mind has room to consider every idea and truth. Our minds can become a trap that keeps each of us from developing what Carlos Castaneda called the warrior, our spirit warrior. Getting stuck in a ...

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...

We do, and then we move on and we do, then we move on. Our memories can work for us or against us, if your younger self did not fail to be what you would have it be in your present mind, then your life lessons were easy, and you can go have a good time in a balanced life. If you look back and see actions that you would have done differently, then go back in your mind, tell the earlier you that you love it, imagine your actions playing out differently, and know that you have already learned from your choices, so you can let them go. If you ever hurt anyone or a group of people, then send them love either physically or mentally through visualization or something and know that it will create positive change. Life is not just a single layer reality, it is so much more, and as long as you are growing, then forgive yourself all your previous actions; I have forgiven you and I love you. Now you can live a balanced life and go have a good time too.  If you don't think that you are growi...

Every possibility in existence, every choice in time is within reach of your consciousness and imagination. How far and wide can you think? You are a brain, it has the power to imagine, dream, span space and time, as much space and time as you can learn about. The more you learn about existence, the deeper your thoughts and imagination can go. You have the power in your mind to imagine everything, where would you take yourself if you could imagine anything? Remember though, that care is needed when we start reaching for the stars, we are prone to grow power hungry.  The deeper you go, the more twisted you can become, there is a balance to it all, and if you walk carefully on this journey of consciousness, then you can keep yourself from becoming too negative or too positive of a person. In my imagination I could control everyone on the earth, play with their lives as if their consciousness meant nothing and their little human bodies were totally expendable. But there will be a b...

The possibilities that are available to your brain are so amazing and hard as heck to calculate. Every choice and breath can change the next moment as the layers of creation play out over the earth and around the multiverse. The lessons you hold within yourself, like mental games of change through teaching your mind to leave the straight path that the brain uses to conserve energy. Over a lifespan a brain will start by shooting signals a bit wildly through your neural network. Over time as you learn more,the brain finds the most fuel efficient routes around the brain and begins to use those the most. Like taking the highway instead of the back roads. You can choose to change the road your brain takes, and it begins by changing the way you think about using your brain. We often think of the brain as something that is controlling us, and I suppose for many of us that holds some truth, but we can take the reigns and drive it as we choose. Instead of thinking of the brain as something tha...

As one realizes that all power is a continuum stretching from out of the nothing through the source and the layers of reality into the conscious form, it becomes apparent that limitation is a one minded occurrence. Let go of the single self and be all selves. Reality and your dreams are constructed by your consciousness as the creator moving just beyond the limits of space and time tying the lines of the astral plane into your awareness. I stood in a room and watched as another form of myself built the world around me by organizing golden rods into the design of furniture, walls, images outside the window, etc. That form moved as fast as imagination allowed me to see it go. People have had visions of being a street, a wall ornament, a part of a sidewalk with a child treating them nicely. All of these visions are links into the self as everything, one portion of that is to realize that we are the layer of conscious energy that holds the framework of reality together. You are the person...

"There is more to it than what you see" was not a call to believe in a higher power, it was a call to accept that what I assumed was the limitation of my power was just a blinder to the truth. That truth being, you are God. In the past I have recognized each of us as God in itself, but it is only recently that I realized how much energy lies behind this truth. You hold everything within you, you are all potential.  You have unlimited power, but there is already a movement of energy flowing in and around you, because as the source you created everything and it is barreling down the tracks like a locomotive. As a human you stand like a penny on the track; no matter how much you will to stop the train, it is going to just flatten you. You could be a leader of a country and try to get billions of humans behind you to stop the train, but even as billions of humans you are just one penny and you will be squished. The billion person penny is more dense than the one person penny, ...

As of late, I have been thinking about a friend whose brother committed suicide and how their last conversation left my friend with a sense of responsibility. It made me think of the human condition and how much energy it takes to actually choose to stop being a person, then following through with that choice. I had contemplated the act many times as a young man between the ages of 15 and 25, but to actually commit to the act was a different level that I could not reach. Despite the awful experiences many people face and the sadness they feel at times, it is still an extremely difficult move to follow through with taking that action.  The act of suicide is never a split second decision, it is something that has been worked up to and it is a final move against the opponent that sits within your own mind. It seemed that my friends brother had an inner enemy which was a memory of abuse and the frustrations that would follow him up to his decision to stop facing that enemy living in...

Giving oneself over to faith is accepting a place in space and time as a body with a mind that links to everything, that is working at the will of the one that is the source and power in everything. To be all and nothing is both all power and no power, you must realize that the self is just one presence which is a present to yourself at the place of the beginning of all creation. At the birth of all time and space a creative mind was born and it has split into all dimensions, all times, all brains  all states of reality and dream. It has spread consciousness into everything equally because it takes power and creation to make the rock be a rock and for the void, where existence was placed, to be a void. You are that mind split, and as that mind you are able to assume a self separate from the source, but you stand at the source and everywhere in between. You have to be open to it all and you must be willing to give up this body to understand the connection between it and the source ...

Dealing with depression and feelings of low self worth slows time and creates a vacuum of negativity around you. The imbalance of chemicals in the brain can make it seem like there is nothing worth even moving for. We are not born to be enslaved by our feelings or even the chemicals flowing in and around our neurons. We are made to be in control of our minds, this tool you are using to read these words has been the seat of your consciousness for your entire life. As a child were you filled with sadness, did sadness and grief start to invade your thoughts at a certain point? Think through your history and search out when and where the change took place, consider what was going on in that time in your life. Was there a trigger?  Finding the root may take a while, but it will point you to the first thing to change. You must learn to control your mind and what it thinks, we assume too often that it is running its own course willy nilly and we are just supposed to deal with what it bri...

You are living in one amazingly well designed and built reality within the flowing energy of atomic structure, we like to call it the here and now. There are billions of layers of other structures created in and around it, some by master craftsman and some by fools. How much energy do we each have within us, how much power is waiting for us to tap into? You have dreams where you can practice multiple scenarios and then attempt to bring those ideas, images and creations back into this here and now, which is a well organized layer of energy that wraps space and time into the assumption of slow growth in existence. You are power and as that you are only hindered by your fear. If you have what you need to live, then work on your mind, keep your body fit and play with the energy that creates and moves through this field of experiences. We here on this earth know that manipulation and greed can push some people down through starvation, war and hatred built up in other people's minds. We...

How does a person show everyone else in the world what the gift of living here and now, on this earth, in this universe on this astral plane is worth?  Jesus spoke the truth until the leaders of his world could no longer ignore him and he used them to help him express his unending love for this existence to the point of death.  Buddha starved himself and pushed himself to the edge of life before he realized the value of his time on this earth, then he shared his good news with everyone he could, and he died with people listening so intently that his words have travelled centuries.  Siddhārtha Gautama, the Buddha was a wealthy man who had the easy life bowing before him, but his greatness didn't come until he decided to give up the wealth and find the meaning of existence.  Jesus asked people to give up everything and follow him.  They each chose paths which would both teach themselves and set examples of how this world can be experienced as a joy through ever...

The development of love is very interesting to observe in oneself and others.  We start out very self centered but we know very little of loving ourselves, as children we seem to point all our love at our family, parents, siblings, etc.  we don't know why, it is just there and it is usually everything to us.  Then when a certain spark hits the heart and mind our love becomes interested in someone outside our family, and it feels different because it is outside.  Family love would break our hearts when we felt disappointed by a parent, or we would be devastated by the death of a grand parent, but we are still focused on ourselves and our own satisfaction.  The love for the outsider mingled with the twinge of desire becomes focused, often to point where we do as much as we can to make them happy, and we hope the same is done in return.  For many of us there is still a self centered aspect of this early love and we do not always step beyond this point; at thi...

In God I am.  We are all within the structure of creation we call the universe.  Our conscious self assumes reality to exist only on this level of existence, but I assure you that there is much more.  People have died to find themselves surrounded by other people and spaces, then come back to discuss their journeys.  Imagine if the heaven or hell that they each saw was simply a different layer of reality that exists for our greater awareness on a frequency that is higher or lower than our own.  What amount of brain activity does the conscious mind need to open itself to knowing and accessing these varying layers of reality?  That is a challenge which I still hope to understand one day.  For now I look to century’s worth of images and dreams from spiritual writing that comes from around the globe.  Our own dreams can be included in this realm of thought, for where else can you fly or be underwater without worry of breathing, like a god of the Hi...

Stretching into the void we can see the avenues of energy which lead down to every conscious being.  The availability of knowledge and understanding held at the convergence point where all your energy is coming from allows you access to the thoughts and ideas within the many layers of being, if you are open to it.  There is a great space between your current conscious form and the place of your origin, and the place of your origin is just a thought away.  The consciousness that is at that point of awareness wants to continue to play out all these lives for the joy of playing out life.  Sitting at the point of your original self, you are the pilot and your body is one ship for you to fly in, you as the source of your being are piloting infinite ships in infinite fields of play with infinite galaxies moving around inside infinite universes or the multiverse.  To know yourself as the source is not an invitation to rule over all, it is an invitation to move in the ...
