When I give a lecture on anything, my mind goes an unlimited number of directions at the same time. My thoughts are not like a line or thought stream going from point A to B to C, etc. Instead, it is like a growing snowflake simultaneously expanding out in every direction from a point. Speech goes in a line: speech is linear. In contrast, nature radiates out like snowflakes from every point in existence simultaneously.
To more fully understand one “line” or reasoning (pun intended), all the other lines interconnected with it must also be understood and related to. There are an infinite number of such lines simultaneously going on eternally creating exquisite, multidimensional, interconnected snowflakes at every point throughout creation. All those snowflakes are interconnected. It is as if all existence is a giant Maha-snowflake… a giant crystal. To really understand anything, everything is understood, must be understood.
The human mind is a mapping (a mini version) in perfect correlation with the entire universe. What is inside is outside. All the interconnections are there within your awareness. It is simply a matter of more and more fully awakening to it.
The programs I offer, the talks I give, are all vehicles to expand the participant’s awareness in that interconnected crystalline manner. Some listen and in their minds strive to force my words along one line, one linear progression of thought. If they can succeed in doing that, they feel they understood what I said. In a way, that is a terrible waste. But then again, the influence is there and received to the extent it can be. Over time, the listener be willing, awareness expands. The words are heard in new, more expanded ways. The dots are connected, i.e. the interconnections are made by the listener, consciously and unconsciously. As awareness expands, the dust clears and the cobwebs are brushed away.
All knowledge is contained within you, within your awareness. It is just a matter of awareness, of awakening the interconnections that are already there within you.

Most interesting. My mind feels pretty linear. I may get some different directions but they still feel more-or-less sequential. What a great blog.
This blog uses a beautiful image to give a timely reminder. Thank you.
After several years of those lectures, it is clear to me that what is stated in this blog is true. I have never considered myself any more special than anyone I have known in my life..therefor what I have experienced can be shared by anyone else. Today..I can honestly say that there is simply nothing more important in this life than to continually evolve my consciousness. In the simplest terms..I challenge my thoughts..all of them. For me, the truest way to love an appreciate this miracle called life..is to completely and honestly become aware of it. I have no idea where I am on this quest however the journey “in” gets sweeter and sweeter.
What A Great Blog! Thanks.
I don’t know that I listen too well, or that I am able to direct the thousand pointed thought I live with. I think I feel it more than hear or understand in a cognitive way? Somehow the words fail. I used to see myself as the dog in the RCA logo with his head cocked closely into to the gramophone. The logo was called “His Master’s Voice”. I had to be in Your face to “hear”. In truth, I think though we were galaxies apart, even in silence….or in the sound the snow makes as it hits the ground…I would know You. Because You radiate out the Knowledge, it’s almost as if the human ears are not the best way to “hear” You. I know we must not bypass the brain, that cognition is important…but falling to the trappings of “educated” linear thought is the trap. It will never allow us to hold the infinite or just opposing realities concurrently.
ah hah ah aha, lol, The Maha Snowflake! I love it!
The way in which you deliver your “lectures” is what drew me in. I was fascinated when I first met you. It still fascinates me. And somehow, everything is eventually tied in, all relevant.
I have oftened wondered how you construct your talks so they include and connect all of us on any or all of your subjects. Your communication is beautiful , thank you. Great picture also.
Great description. Great class last weekend.
