The Year of Change: More Upheavals Imminent

by | Friday, March 18, 2011 | World View | 1 comment

As most of you know, my New Years Day 2011 lecture proclaimed this to be ‘The Year of Change.’

~

The recent occurrences in Japan are simply the beginning of what is to come.  More earth movements and worldwide events will occur this year that will overshadow this, the economic markets, and other turbulent global events thus far.

~

I have encouraged you to make the move to Mount Soma.  It will prove to be wise to do that soon, for soon it will be too late for many.  Cataclysms like Japan are currently news about some far away land.  Soon it will become more personal as events hit home.  This is the year of change.  Take heed.

~

I have predicted many things that have come to pass.  I have warned of this for some time.  Know that now it is a matter of months, not years.

~

In times past, a number have said of my predictions, “Why didn’t you say so more forcefully?” when in my heart, I felt I was already too pushy and direct.  So please hear this loud and clear.

~

It is not a time for fear.  It is a time for action.  It will be a time for peace and evolution for those who take heed.  This IS the year of change.  Watch the behavior of God’s creatures.  When they become erratic, leave.  When earth tremors become frequent, a number of them in only a few days period… leave. In fact, for several days prior to the Japan earthquake, we even felt it here at Mount Soma. More is on the way.  These shifts will bring about a great healing for the planet, for those who remain.

~

You may recoil at my words.  That is your choice.  Time will be the test that proves or disproves my predictions.

~

In the short run we can only generate enough coherence for a small location. The major earth changes are unpreventable and will manifest soon at various locations on our planet, including some in the US.

Tsunami – My Thoughts

by | Sunday, March 13, 2011 | Spirituality, World View | 3 comments

Certainly my heartbreak over the tragedy in Japan renders my thoughts about the situation insignificant.

~

Yet I have been asked to share my thoughts.

~

Well, of course the mechanics of the karma comes to mind.  However, we must be most humble regarding this.  The mechanics of creation are subtle and complex to the point of unfathomability.

~

Though the sadness in my heart dominated my experience, the interconnectedness of life has been foremost in my mind regarding this tragedy.

~

Speaking openly and sincerely, I would have to say that it seems like we felt it coming here at Mount Soma.  For several days prior to the earthquake, it seemed like a pressure or turbulence was building just under the surface.

~

When news of the earthquake arrived, it felt like, “Oh, so now we know what that was really about.”  Our lives are all so interconnected.  The pulse of the planet courses through the channels of global consciousness.  The more we feel our connection to all that is, the more we experience the pulse of that global state.  Eras in time have characteristic pulses.  I remember clearly realizing and experiencing that during the Carter presidency era.

~

Imagine if we could work with that interconnection as a vehicle to heal global consciousness.

~

From my years of experience in the healing arts, I concluded that if you could feel it, you could heal it.  The idea being that if you can get a ‘handle’ on something, you can then begin to work with it.

~

Feeling is the gateway.  So much of life is just about feeling what is right in your hands – innocently, purely, unbiased – without judgment, preconceptions, or conditions.

~

To look upon the world and see it as it is.

~

Notions of what is preclude ones ability to see what is.

~

Everything is right there before you.

~

To perceive, is to feel without bias, is to heal.  The potential is infinite.

Motto

by | Monday, March 7, 2011 | Personal Growth

I am not a big fan of mottos.   Life is too multidimensional to limit our self to only one.

~

However, if we explore the field of mottos, the following quote would be a lovely motto.

~

From my recollections of Jane Wyman, I can see it in her eyes.

~

“The opportunity for brotherhood presents itself every time you meet a human being.” Jane Wyman, actress

To See One’s Self

by | Sunday, March 6, 2011 | Spirituality | 2 comments

The very name, Henry David Thoreau, elicits a fine sense of nostalgia within me.  Not only do I enjoy his thoughts, but also his writing skills.  He said something to the effect that there is only one right word that makes a sentence work.

~

In the quote below, the word ‘hard’ does not quite work for me. Perhaps ‘elusive’ would be a better choice.

~

Life is a house of mirrors within a labyrinth of caverns and mazes.  Reflections of truth, echoes of truth… all inverting, convoluting and permuting one’s perceptions of truth and Self.

~

A jacket, turned inside out, still looks and acts very much the same.  Life affords a limitless number of inside out, upside down, inverted reflections of itself, each consistent within its own self, loaded with more than ample ammunition to overshadow the true Self.

~

When the Self is finally seen it says nothing, yet everything within that silence. It never goes away and lands with an all-consuming punch.

~

Only then can the awesome beauty of its overt, yet elusive, omnipresence be consumed.  And this at the price of the viewer’s own dissolution into something so far-reaching and grand as to overwhelm all that was, while evading any possibility or inclination of being grasped.

~

‘Hard’ is not the word I would choose.  Hard is living a life lost to the permutations and convolutions… and trying to view the Self by holding on to those echoes.

~

The awakening is not hard at all.  Nothing could be easier.  It just simply, suddenly, unexpectedly, shockingly, quietly… happens.

~

“It is as hard to see one’s self as to look backwards without turning around.”

– Henry David Thoreau, US Transcendentalist author

Trust

by | Saturday, March 5, 2011 | Personal Growth, Spirituality | 1 comment

The following is an interesting quote.

~

Its validity depends on the depth of the understanding the word trust.

~

Do you trust your issues and distorted convictions about life? Or do you trust the Divinity that lies deep within.

~

Can you tell the difference between trust with a small or capital “T”?

~

At first glance, they can feel remarkably similar.

~

“As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.”

Planning

“The plan is nothing.  Planning is everything.”

~

I’m not sure on the source but I like this quote.

~

Planning is alive. Planning is fluid and dynamic.

~

The plan does not know what changed – what happened next.  Think of tacking a sailboat.  The plan is how the sail and rudder were set.  Planning keeps your eye on what is now and next.

~

When people work with me, they sometimes have a hard time with the rapid pace of change that I set.

~

I believe this explains my approach to life nicely.

Joy to the World

by | Tuesday, March 1, 2011 | Spirituality

Great accomplishments would not have been great if they at first did not seem unimaginable.

~

Early on in my life, I decided to dedicate my life to understanding life.

~

My dreams are just the natural conclusion of that investigation.

~

“To accomplish great things,

we must not only act, but also dream,

not only plan, but also believe.”

– Anatole France

Global Unrest Update

by | Friday, February 25, 2011 | World View | 3 comments

2011 will continue to be The Year of Change as predicted.

~

The dominos will continue to fall as oppressive leaders will continue to be ousted.

~

There will be more transitions of government in the short term than we have seen in any decade in modern history.  The proverbial cat is out of the bag.  Millions of previously silent individuals will not stop until they have a just government.

~

These short term changes could make for quite rough circumstances, but long term the changes WILL be for the better.

~

The effect of the technological boom (internet, cell phones, etc.) will be the catalyst that brings about a great transition to a better world.

~

However, remember that the foundation of this and any real change only arises from a shift in consciousness.  The unified field is the only source of real change.

~

Of course, though some call it the unified field, others prefer to call it the soul or essence of our being, while others refer to this underlying essence of life and existence as God.

~

The depth of your understanding, your level of wisdom, matters far more than the word you choose.
