Blessings

December 27th, 2011

A couple contacted me professionally because the husband was having a dream that repeated nightly and the experience was frightening him.  He was making errors in judgment, being absentminded and frequently late; a total departure from his “normal.”  While describing his dream in detail I invoked (called into present moment) the energy of the dream and nothing lit up in his field.  If you report someone else’s story and have no personal experience in the event you will not engage energetically (good way to catch a lie).  You may have a reaction after the telling, like my client did after he had time to personalize but the dreams did not wake him and no energy in the report.  Lots of energy when he started to worry that something was wrong with him.  Also, there were no events around the time his dream sequence began nor any details in the dream that were familiar to him.  It was not his dream!

Desperate, the rather skeptical guy accepted my diagnosis and agreed to perform a simple meditation of “grounding the idea of self” into his body every night before falling asleep.  This solved his problem and he did eventually confirm that the man living in the apartment opposite his bedroom wall was having the exact same dream that he shared for a time.

If one emotionally ill person’s dream can affect a strong person just by being near, how are you affected by all the good folks that intentionally wish you “well?”  People that “hate” you have very little power over you because most their energy is consumed by supporting the state of being—I hate; not an easy human state to support and it does not come naturally.  But I love you or I care is far more powerful for destruction.

I’ve had numerous clients over the years whose life unraveled because someone or some group was praying for them.  Lot of power in prayer and I think it is great if your prayers are congruent with the life choices of the person you are prayer for.  What does “have a Merry Christmas and blessings for the New Year” mean to the person that greets you at this year’s end?  Wise to start “grounding in your body with the idea of self” and don’t miss anyone on your list that loves you.

China Again

November 24th, 2011

China is a large and beautiful country.  The old folks are rude and impatient in crowds and lines but most of the inhabitants are friendly and respectful.  What I did learn from my first trip in 1984 was to not visit countries where the food is poor quality.  I love Chinese food but their meat was more like American poor quality stew meat that is not trimmed very well and has lots of bones everywhere.  Their standard in my opinion was what I would perceive as bad Chinese food here.  I lived on rice during my first trip.  Today the food is much better but I rate prepared dishes as something I would serve someone I cared for.  Only three dishes in 23 days did I judge as good enough to offer you.  I’m sure my fellow travelers held a more positive opinion but I watched them eat pancakes for breakfast and seek out familiar looking Western dishes for lunch and dinner.  I would never go to China for the food.

Over the last 27 years China has expanded with a plethora of skyscrapers, high priced condos, toll roads, millions of new cars and shopping malls; lots of wealth in China today.  The pace is slower than America but millions of people everywhere.  Condos rent from 800 to 3,000 dollars per square foot and the “projects” for the low income are condos with a little over 200 square feet allocated for a family unit.  Tibet was the biggest shocker.  More people visit Tibet each year than the total population of Tibetans.  The sweet simple people and chanting monks are fading.  New airport, toll roads and lots of high-rises are the signs of progress and support from China along with armed military.  I will continue to check the labels in our stores and avoid anything made in China.

I know “new-age” folks think of Tibetans, similar to American Indians, as spiritual.  All humans have experience with nature mysticism somewhere in their past.  A slow developing culture with high levels of poverty, illiteracy, ill-health and antiquated rituals will develop or perish.  It is a wonderful dream that a group of people could hold on to old values somewhere but we know from history that this just does not happen.  I pray the transition is peaceful for both the Tibetans and our American Indians.

Just Say No

November 24th, 2011

As a small child I was challenged with bronchial problems and had pneumonia six times in nine years.  I was not a happy “traveler.”  None of this sickness stuff was in the brochure.  My immediate family members were not exactly models for the joy of wellness.  Mom smoked, my aunt was a drunk, grandma was a religious fanatic, grandpa was very over weight, my father was dead and his family was aloof.  What was a five year old to do?  I was too young to escape and had no idea how to end the threat of suffering.  To top off the experience my mother took me to a doctor where I was told I had an allergy to 40 different food items which I needed to avoid for the rest of my life.  In a game like this how do you find your power?

For a child power feels like you have a voice and you get it your way (at least some of the time).  Your way may not be ideal but you pick within the parameters available.  I knew nothing of allergies but I could see energy.  I started “giving up” food that did not produce a visual indication of an energy increase.  Like most people from German stock we ate a lot of pork but this protein did not light-up with an energy increase in your field when you consumed it.  I gave up pork (as best I could) at five.  I also gave up onions which put me in the hospital and tomatoes that produce a rash on my body.  None of these were rules or dogma but only research.  I’m sure the doctor was correct with his diagnoses but there is no power in doing what you are told and even less in denial.  It was my game now and the foundation of my first personal discipline.

Obviously this research was not very sophisticated but I was developing cognitive skills as I sampled.  Around age six I ate a cherry pie and got a blast of energy.  I had no knowledge of the effect of sugar and ate a whole cherry pie every day for weeks until I felt the up/down sugar cycle in my body.  I knew that sugar must go but it has not been an easy task over the years.  I still play this game and lately abandoning “dishwater” soup, potatoes and bread.  Bread is also not easy.

Some of the foods demonstrated low energy but I did not give them up because they were tabled frequently.  As I continued to consume them over time the energy output increased.  I learned that your relationship with the food can increase its energy potential.  But other foods that had adverse effects in my young body are still a challenge sixty years later.  May be an associated emotion piece or just chemistry; I’m still doing research.

One morning on a hot summer day at Boy Scout camp I was headed out with cash in hand to pay for a fun round of archery.  I stopped at the store and spent the money instead on a soda.  Addiction is a horrible feeling and I never drank another soda after that day.  It is very inspiring to pursue great tasks but I recommend that before you occupy Wall Street you accept the small task of managing your cravings for a Snicker bar.  Build a strong foundation first for your discipline if you wish not to live a life of reaction to whatever patterns may run you.

Pet Teaching

October 11th, 2011

I was twelve and off to Woolworths to get my first pet.  I had experience being custodian for other people’s pets and for hand-me down pets but this was my first by choice.  I purchased a miniature alligator.  Fred was so cool and not a typical warm fuzzy.  Three months later filled with devotion, care and feeding, Fred grew two inches.  Not going to be a long term relationship.  On a family outing to a local college I relocated Fred to a large pond.

Six years later I was attending a week of orientation before the start of my first year as a student at the college where Fred was abandoned.  On the first day of that week I observed the humane society removing a large alligator from a pond on campus that had devoured all the ducks over the years and was now chasing students.  I looked the captured ’gater in the eyes, not sure it was Fred but I’m sure the critter had no affinity for me.  I unwound each night of the orientation week by this same pond reading Pythagoras.

Spirit is not a thing but a theme.  For example the spirit of adventure or the spirit of fun are broad themes and “the spirit of St. Louis”, is an airplane. The number 0 or No Number is all potential but not a spirit or theme (except maybe spirit of creation).  The number one is a unit but as a spirit, created in the likeness of, would be a range of value from 1 to 1.9999…  A unit is a limitation of the all potential along a theme or spirit.  Where two or more are gathered in my name, the sum of two units along a common theme or spirit equal to the range from 2 to 3.9998…  The communion of two units in practice demonstrates the potential of being greater than the sum of the part—we have amplification or growth from communion.  The baptism or development of the one unit has potential in spirit, communion has greater range and ordination, relationship to 0, has all potential.  Ordination is the art of abandoning the unit, internal self, to experience the potential the external No Number has to offer.

What I learned from my first pet was the need to abandon the expectation, flex and open to potential.  Get out of the way and empty to discover the potential that only No Number or 0 has available.  Wise they stopped marketing miniature alligators as pets because most were destroyed but Fred gained in Life experience from his abandonment.

What this may mean for you is that you can work with your concept of self but you may develop quicker in groups or classes.  However group training has the “common vice of impermanence.”  You may get to sample more in groups but you still need to process the sample or make it personal.  This takes time and often alone time.  The ultimate goal is to get out of ego but only to improve sampling and what you sample most be brought home to the “unit”, ego or self for “permanence” again to develop new potential.  This level of work requires some skills that most be discovered; not inherently part of self.  The above observations are the nature of my work and in the foundations of my training programs.  The range of life and death is “the spirit of creation” and the terrain you need to master to discover potential or a larger relationship with Life; I am.

Pray for Space

August 23rd, 2011

Early in the nineties I lived in Long Beach and started up some classes at a community center building.  The space didn’t work out as I envisioned because the energy at the facility was invasive.  Invasive in sound because a square dance class shared the space next door.  Invasive in layout continuity because every week the room was set up in a different way—mostly as needed for storage.  Invasive due to poor management because I was moved several times to a different room during the term of use due to their double-booking the space.   I relocated my endeavor into Sunday school classroom space at a local Christian Church.  This new space was consistent, clean and reliable, and the energy was very neutral.  I was surprised because I anticipated a “heavy” religious energy.  My student population expanded so fast that I outgrew the room in six months.  I give credit for this success to the energy set; the set didn’t bring in more students but it did reduce my resistance to growth.  Often the nature of support is helping us get out of our own way.  Look at my story how “invasive energy” produced my failing, it had to be my resistance that made it personal and gave the facility the power to defeat my endeavor.  But my success at the Sunday school also moved me on to another space.  Perhaps we need to look deeper at setting an energy space.

At the Christian Church I met Bob the business manager.  He appeared a little stiff and “pious” but was very attentive to my requests for room set-up and took notes.  Never saw him again while I was renting the room but all my needs were fulfilled.  Bob noted my classes on their Church program each week and on their mail-out monthly newsletter which was sent to me unsolicited—I assume part of the rental package.  After I moved on the newsletters continued and I saw a request posted from Bob for help with his job.  He had surgery and couldn’t lift anything for a couple weeks but would be present to direct.  I volunteered and worked with him for two days.  He had a notebook for his tasks every day of the week and we adhered to it religiously.  Bob was disciplined, detail orientated and time aware but fun to be around and hear stories about people he knew and had experienced over the years.  The real magic was Bob’s ritual at the completion of each of his tasks.  He would pause and pray, “Whatever I have done here was intended to unite the Creator with the person using this space and I only ask that my energy and efforts be removed from this space.”

I may entertain different concepts about Life from Bob but I do admire his act of humility with his little prayer.  I always set the energy in a room for my talks or classes boldly from my own sense of power and now I understand how that action made me vulnerable to “energy invasion.”  Bob is correct; you do get what you pray for.

Just a Game

July 30th, 2011

My blogs have been a report on my childhood experience for two reasons.  One is in response to questions concerning where my concepts originated and, second, because I don’t think there was ever any special events or skills, only a curious child that preferred isolation.  This curious nature lead me to explore and observe; alone time provided for noncompetitive thought.  The energy I observed was valid because other kids saw the same thing and the communication I heard was my private game.  Adults could not be trusted to seriously entertain any subjective report on the movement of energy.

It was just a game—this report is a projection many years later by a mature mind.  Normal experience for a human is to observe an event (a captured perception in a moment of time) and record it in associated memory (i.e. like or similar events) or make up a story to add enough energy to save as an independent event (a question, oddity, peculiar) until personal classification are created to store as memory.  Unfortunately, the first parameter above discounts the uniqueness of the event and the second creates a belief to isolate and suspend.  Yes, with the first we lose depth and the second we may become stuck defending.  This is normal but a very poor game.  My little game sorted events according to what a perceived “glow” or input of energy created.  True, this too is a made-up story but “events are created by energy” is a more productive story than “I can’t”; “I’m the best”; “hard work is the answer”; etc.  Creation or God is all potential (everything you can imagine) and a series of event perceptions (making the moment personal) are the steps to enriching our relationship with the whole of Creation from our limited starting point of personality or personal self.

Articulating a request and being denied was, and still is very disappointing.  I learned to entertain an idea, put a lot of energy into it and move it into someone’s field.  Invasive and poor psychic manners but it worked.  For example, I might think about going to a movie with as much details and feeling as I could muster.  I would move the glow that this created within my field to my mother’s field.  She would become inspired with the idea of going to a movie and ask if I was interested.  Cool trick but I had a cousin and every time I attempted my little game with him it failed.  He would be inspired, as in the above example, to go to the movies but never invite me.  I had to resort to making a request and face the risk of denial.

In my teens I finally got that any idea energized and imposed onto another feels like a demand.  The energy of expectation doesn’t allow for a “no.”  Request still has the risk of denial but you can cheat.  If you energize an idea and move it external (remove all personal references—it is not about you) it becomes an inspired potential linked to Creation (similar to an advertisement).  Going to be a lot of folks at the movies tonight because they all got inspired—God must have talked to them all and you just reduced your chance of “request rejection.”  I think this is part of what I have been teaching as a “mock-up.”  Master this and see me about PTP Training.

Creation?

June 27th, 2011

When young I pondered the mystery of where the glows I witnessed originated from.  They would appear, do whatever or move somewhere and then vanish.  As I mentioned in previous blogs, I talked to the glows and they responded with their task.  We never discussed source or goals.  In a moment of insanity or naiveté I asked my grandmother for her opinion.  Of course, “God was creating blessings for people and because I’m an innocent child I could see God’s work.  How wonderful the power of God’s love.”

Even at six I knew to “lose the story” but what if this is creation?  Days later on a warm summer morning fresh and bright from a lingering night of rain, through the window and pajama clad I watched a group of “kids” playing in the common area beyond our cottage.  As usual, I observed the dancing glows and asked the magic question, “Are you creation?”  My perceived view zoomed in and the cluster of four children became a muse of millions of glows.  Today I would call the vision pixilation.  At six everything appeared to be created from glowing blobs of energy and the word I used to represent this concept was “united.”

A small smile of acceptance formed on my lips many years later when reading the works of David Bohm.  He said that when you have a particle that is in existence, like an electron or perhaps something just a glow, the way it moves or becomes is to dissolve into the unmanifest and then reconstitute elsewhere.  But it is not the same particle.  When it dissolves it suddenly unites back into the entire universe so it becomes part again of potential.  Bohm called this radical interpretation “implicate order.”

Ilya Prigogine, who won a Nobel Prize in chemistry, had a notion that it’s not just that the particles emerge, but also that they emerge with structure, they emerge with what he called “self-organizing dynamics.”  Sounds like my childhood experience when I was told by the glows that they hold form.  Is it possible that at every point in the universe you would have this creation potential which is dense with the patterns of new forms?  So at the moments of transformation, a radically new form is emanating forth.

May be a bit of a stretch to apply this thinking to human transformation; the change would be a death and a rebirth in the form of a new organizing principle of who you are in life.  This emanating forth out of the unmanifest and incessant vibration in and out of form is akin to ancient esoteric ideas.  On occasion, growth for humans does orchestrate as such a grand “rebirth” but commonly it goes unnoticed as a simple state change or an intense focus on the resistance to the change for a few days until “wellness” concurs.  All this could be possible or my glows could have just been the intuitive imagination of a young boy.  I believe that the mysteries of life sometimes reflect, if not are a correspondent to the mysteries of science.  I may never “know” the answer to these mysteries but it was fun having been a crazy kid that talked to glows.

Glowing

May 12th, 2011

As a youth my summers were spent with my grandmother at an outdoor church camp.  It was great fun to run in the woods, climb trees and play with all the other children interned for the season.  After supper we traditionally settled down with some school work and went to bed early.  No real homework just practice, like reading and writing.  In my child writing tablet I printed my name, age six and two sentences.  “Everything is a glow” and “Everything is united.”  I saw small glows, like fire flies, around people, anything alive and sometimes around objects.  I perceived the glows as “demands” due to the way they framed their function.  I was wise not to tell adults about my game but other kids joined in at times.  I would talk to the glows in my head but I never personalized the visions as “beings” in the manner of mediumship.  They were just fun lights to play with.

I loved to explore the dump even though I was not allowed to enter due to rats.  Daily there were new treasures deposited in this large natural hole in the forest floor.  I recall fantasizing over an art deco style chair, worn beyond repair but could have been the throne of a king or brave knight.  As I stared and my imagination danced in my head a glow formed above the chair.  I asked per my protocol, “What are you for?” and the glow replied, “I hold form.”  This was the only glow around an object that I ever got a communication from but I got the message.

The adults’ God may have created all things but the glows’ main task is to hold form.  I saw the glows ignite within a person, at times generate outside them and lots of times move between people.  They would tell me their task as, “I’m tired”, “I’m sick”, “I’m upset”, “I care”, etc.  If they hold form then thoughts must be form and these ideas may be independent of people and be demands in some way.  When I saw someone speak and no glow appeared they were not telling the truth.  I had no problem with lying because it was useful but I did worry about being found out.  Spent some time that summer learning to identify with a story and generate a demand for truth; if only as a possible truth that you find in any good storybook you read.  Today I would say back then I invoked enthusiasm about the possibility of the story being true and that generated some energy.

The glows were consistent, all looked, talked and moved in the same manner.  That is why I felt they were somehow united and, if you didn’t ask, could have trouble sensing the source.  This was great news because I learned that if I got enthused about anything I wanted I could send the glow to another person to task them.  As practice, I would say nothing but create the glow and move it to my mother.  She would be inspired to buy me a gift of the item I desired.  I had a new game but it did require that I put forth enough energy to get enthused and, what was weird, I had to remember to play the game.  It was difficult to save the information as conscious.  More research was needed.

The Truth?

April 25th, 2011

The six of us were circled around a table at my grandmother’s summer cottage near sundown.  One person started with “I’m getting hungry” and this trigger ignited the group but the “glow” around the folks that I saw as a child was different for each person.  The glow was the body getting energized or, as we psychics say, getting lit-up as a precursor to a response, event or demonstration.  Most of the time the glow appeared consistent for everyone with triggers like; “I’m tired”,” I’m bored”, or “I’m mad”.  At age seven I lacked the life experience to discern all the levels of perception that demonstrate in a person’s field when they change states.  Back then I talked in my head to the “glow” that I saw and it informed me about what change in state was being selected, that is except for the mystery state of hunger, which the glow “lied” about.  For me at seven there was no absolute truth.

Took me years of “research” to get a clue to what was creating the inconsistencies in the field that I observed in childhood with some state changes.  I now “believe” the edge of the field is a singularity that responds to the energized “picture” or demand (or request) present in the field that contains the greatest energy.  The mysterious state of hunger was a complex change better defined as survival/food; abandonment/food; celebration/food; etc.  It is somewhat predictable that eating closes all the different combinations of hunger states.  However, have you ever eaten a big meal and surprisingly still felt “hungry?”  The hungry state collapsed but the unsecured associated state did not.  A common example of this is in statements like “dinner was great, let’s go dancing.”  The underlying demand shows up after the primary demand is satisfied.

As we humans develop in the direction of wholeness the levels of complexity will increase.  Our propensity to programmed responses affords us opportunity to operate in a digital environment and still perceive “reality” as a constant.  Consciousness is the act of moving still frames (life events) fast enough in sequence to view as a “movie.”  The still frames are recorded in memory as states of being; what you felt like in that moment.  The potential alternate to this game of life is to have the moment now be your creation, instead of a learned response.  You show up and make this moment whole—a sample large enough to include the beginning and end of now.  Life would be the spark of ignition, the fire and the ash rather than a reaction to an ember.

Sample

March 22nd, 2011

Recent research indicates that our brains navigate between short-term—near at hand—and long term thinking.  Thinking is one of the ways we process a task or event relevant to memory.  “How important is it, do I know what to do, do I need more information, etc.”  This dance between a sample and a memory makes sure that we are not missing anything vital.  But the switch produces a “zone out” in our awareness.  Not a problem while reading the paper but not good while driving on the freeway.

If you spend a lot of time sampling you are dealing with a lot of irrelevant facts and over threshold most of the time.  We all know worrisome folks that live life on the edge of doom and hysteria; overstimulation with not enough time to find the best course of action.  We humans operate with around 6% consciousness.  We can learn to attend to a more productive sample but not wise to attempt a total increase.

If you choose to live life based on memory you lose any hope of “growth.”  What we call growth is a chance to expand, or at least alter our relationship to life by being aware of something new that we missed last time the wheel turned.  Yes, most of life is unconscious and redundant.  The good news, you can learn what needs your small conscious attention and trust the redundant patterns for the balance.  This is how life operates!

Ah, we even see people living on the “click” between sample and memory, permanently zoned out and totally lacking any clue of certainty.  It’s usually better for them if you don’t wake them.

Last month I suggested you observe, one at a time, some of the unconscious “game rules” or patterns you are participating in.  A small amount of attention can produce a substantial effect over time.  This month I invite you to practice flexing, by observing what a sample of what you are aware of is (reality) and what you are imposing from memory (making up).  Again don’t overdo it.  The zoned out time prevents you from being aware that most of your interface with the moment is illusional.  Don’t try to fix or change the sequencing.  The goal is to observe that you have an adequate sample, you act appropriately and then you don’t need to make up a conscious story to justify.

I think the secret to a good healthy life is finding the balance between the two, the rhythm that brings harmony to the different time scales at which we live.  Observation of the flex reduces the need to justify.  Reality is sufficient for action and life is proof.  Your story index will automatically amend to entertain.  This action establishes a report on the joy of life rather than on the hardship—a different sequence in timing.  Flex, observe, and allow the timing on your attention to flow to joy.  Save this blog in case you zoned out while reading it this time.
