 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. ...

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...

My world is a state of awareness, it includes everything from experiences to the absence of being. In existence I love all action and absence of action, because it is all connected to me. On the Earth my conscious being seeks pleasurable interaction with it's surroundings, it  finds the greatest joy in a calm balanced environment. In loving all that comes to me, my love desires love in return. Every action is portion of the whole and can be loved for the experience it brings, but the action of love is the easiest to accept. Do your best to be love to me and I will do my best to be love to you. Together we will make calm balance.  Love, PEACE

When you realize that you are the first person in your life that you need to love, that is the moment that you will start to work in your best interest. We often spend so much of our lives seeking love from somewhere outside ourselves, and it can feel wonderful when we find someone who offers that, but it is not the love with the most power. When we love the person that we are, we open a door within that allows us to be the best person we can be, a person that can face every challenge.  We may find our soulmate, and it can be heaven on earth, a love that can carry us to the top of every mountain. However, if the connection fails to remain active between the two soulmates, then it can be devastating and that broken love may not carry you anywhere further than to being lost. A true love of the self that recognizes every flaw and all the perfection around each of those flaws is the most complete love at this level. If you can fully see yourself and still know that you deserve love,...

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, ...

Time is short, we are moving and existing in the wonderland of our minds, each of which gives access to experience in this life and it's dreams. This brain in time is not the source of your power, it is not the source of your life, but it is the one thing that connects you to this world. Without the structure of the clumped atoms that are inside your head there is no earth, no solar system, galaxy or universe. There is no way for your conscious energy to play out being this person trying to find the truth of existence. If you don't think that your human is trying to reach the truth, then you had better guess again. You are closest to knowing that this is what you are here for when you feel unaccomplished, like you are not striving towards your true goal, or that you are wasting time circling the same life pattern over and over again. The downward spiral which so often brings us to our lowest point in life can be used as a tool to thrust oneself into the business of knowing wha...

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...

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...

So often we look outside ourselves for that love which will make us feel fulfilled and happy about life.  There is no human that can give you that kind of love, what they can do is open your eyes a little with their image of you, allowing you to see a bit of your own true worth.  But you will never find true happiness until you know your own worth as who you are for yourself, not as how someone else sees you.  If we turn to others to know our value, then we can never know ourselves and how much we have to offer.  The love of anyone outside you is never as complete and ever lasting as the love you can know from within, for a lifetime of happiness and acceptance of yourself as you are.  We each have our demons, anyone outside you is fighting their own and will have to be very well balanced to stand steady enough to be their own and your corner stone.  Their are guides in our history that have laid down great levels of love to help you see your own worth, deat...
