About Five Minutes

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 ...

 No matter where you are on your path, what you do with your path or how you try to trash your path, it is still your path and sometimes it walks you where you are supposed to be when you thought you were running away laughing. We are all striding down one path in particular, that is human life in the grand scheme, which currently includes birth, growing, aging and dying. I am intrigued by the whole life process, but where this path brings every form of life on the planet has been of particular interest to me since our family dog died when I was about seven or eight. Death of the earth form has been assumed to be the end all be all of our running away and of life itself. What if that point on the path of human life and death walks you to somewhere you never expected?  We live as human bodies, our skin and bones tell us that we are real, and our brain receives the signals from the rest of our body while also thinking deep searching thoughts. We go through the experiences of ...

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...

I am the wave of light filling existence with energy. I am the darkness feeling my energy flow through me. There are no paths to walk on and there are no caves to hide in, there is me and I am. As I am so is every one, there is consciousness, and what you put your awareness into is where your consciousness will go. You are the edge of the universe, if you look out with your mind you can find it, if you look in with your mind you can find it. Know that within yourself you can find and know everything. Some can reach temporary understanding with hallucinogens, some with meditation and learning to relax the mind. Because in being able to calm your mind, and reaching that point of stillness of thoughts will allow you to realize that you are experiencing life from within the brain out to the body, not from the body in. When you realize this, you can learn to control what part of the brain is active and what is not. The mind has a flow which can be mapped, the movement of chemicals and ener...

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...

All my thanks to God. I am thankful for the love I know is always pouring over me. I am grateful for the ability to share that love, allowing it to pour out of me. I praise God for the points in existence where my love finds focus and knows giving. I am thankful for the experiences I receive on this earth. I am filled wth joy by the connections I have to all that God is, and the certainty I hold in my consciousness. I am thankful for the dawn, the day, dusk and the darkness of night. I am empowered by the balance I have found and there is great joy in me when I am aware of being. My praise seeks eternal expression, and I am at my best when I am letting love pour out of me. All my thanks to God. All my praise to Allah. All my love to Brahman.  Love, PEACE
