I'm a bit puzzled by the seeming lack of interest and demonstrated lack of involvement in what we are creating here each month. Somehow, I expected that it would be easier to make this a community effort ... that people would welcome the opportunity to be able to express. Personally, I love it. If I didn't I would not be doing it each month.
At the same time, I've heard what would be said through me for over three years now. I am curious as to how you interpret and react to what is said through me ... and further, what spirit has to say through YOU. Surely, I am not the only one with something to say. And, it really is easy. All it takes is an e-mail or filling out the feedback form with whatever you want to say.
We now have over a dozen sections that you can contribute to or co-create ... and if these are not sufficient, we can create whatever additional ones are needed. We consider it that important to provide a vehicle through which spirit can express whatsoever she will (or, he will, if such is how you experience your connection to source).
The bottom line is a commitment to do whatever it takes. Personally, I have made that commitment. My hope is that YOU will choose to do so as well, and SOON.
Over the past few years, I have suspected that time somehow marked the overall state of consciousness or level of spiritual awareness. Lately, not a week passes without additional confirmation that such indeed is the case.
88 has been a special number to me for three years. It came to me as being important when I first started looking at meaningful cycles. 78 was important because it is the Tarot completion number ... the number of cards in a Tarot deck. 88 seemed even more fitting for completion because when the 8's are brought close enough to touch we get "infinity above, infinity below", a very special meaning indeed.
I found it quite interesting that 1958, the year of my birth just happened to be 22 cycles of 88 plus 22 years. This was especially true when I discovered that my Heart's Desire just happens to be 22 as well. Coincidence, perhaps, but such is NOT how I see it. 22 is The Fool Complete ... in many ways this represents superconsciousness manifest. No, I don't believe that I have reached such a state ... though I strongly believe such is indeed where the path is taking me.
Last week I realized that since 1958 = 22:22(88), 1997 = 22:61(88). This was an AHA of a major order. The year on the show Babylon-5 just changed to 2261 this fall. Now isn't that curious. Of all the years they could have picked, they just happened to choose the ONE that corresponds to expressing the real current year in base 88. Those of you who have any exposure to my works know that I don't believe in chance. In Wayne's World, all such "choices" are made by spirit, NOT us. Further, her choices often carry embedded spiritual meaning, if only we have the ears to hear and eyes to see as they say. She weaves the fabric of reality so that it is incredibly rich with meaning on multiple levels, much as great books often have multiple levels of meaning.
So, if my interpretation is correct, for those vibrating to the 88 cycle, the present conscious state is 22:The Fool Complete (cycle) at step 61:Achievement. Last month, it came to me that 1997 is to be a Year of Spiritual Manifestion. This is consistent with what Achievement should bring.
Most have not achieved the awakening necessary to allow them to operate from this state. They still live in 1997. The 1900s are characterized by The Sun card in the Tarot. 1997 us particularly interesting because 97 is 78+19 = 1 cycle of the Tarot plus The Sun again. When I was learning to interpret the Tarot, it came to me that numbers that include a cycle of the Tarot are "exalted". This did not come from any books, rather from my connection to source. Anyway, this makes 1997, The Sun:The Sun Exalted, a very interesting combination.
Further, 1997 begs to be interpreted from the center as the span from 91 on the left to 97 on the right. YES, an interval of 6 that is centered at 94. This too is an interesting number. It is 16:The Tower Exalted. Years before I began my study of the Tarot, I was told that The Tower card was MY CARD. It characterized in a very real way what I personally am here to do. I find it interesting that this shows up at a time when I am so strongly MOVED by Spirit to DO WHAT I AM HERE TO DO.
Hmm... clearly this is not the common way of assigning meaning to time. Such interpretations are not consistent with my training in engineering, math, and science. However, metaphysics supercedes these other disciplines when it comes to the realm of consciousness, and the nature of spiritual reality.
Perhaps this is a sign that I've stepped over the deep end and plunged into the abyss of the unknown. But, if such is the case so be it. If that is where I am, it is because such is where I was lead by Spirit to be. My understanding is that Spirit leads me exactly where I need to be to do the works that she would do through me. Besides, for explorers of consciousness, charting and characterizing the unknown is what the grand adventure is all about.
If you are a fellow explorer or wayshower, please contact me and let us share of what we know of the territory that is consciousness and how she manifests. If you speak a related language with respect to interpreting numbers, cycles, and states of awareness ... make yourself known ... I long to find others who speak in a similar tongue.
Yes, it is me again. There is something about a blank page that I simply cannot stand anymore. I consider it my responsibility to fill it with whatever spirit would choose to express.
At this particular moment, I have no clue what that will be. Life is truly a miracle. Spirit is ever expressing in ways that are new and fresh and surprising, and YES, even miraculous at times. This is truly a grand adventure. I am ever amazed at what consciousness is able to produce when given the opportunity to create what she will.
For me the canvas is the blank page, and the medium is words ... no, not the words of the poet or the storyteller, or the fiction writer. Also not the words of the logician or analyst or historian or technical writer. In fact, I have no category by which to describe what these words are. I hear a voice in my head and I convey what it says. The process is magical. I observe it happening and am ever amazed at what is able to come through. For me, the material is the real world evidence or effect of spirit or consciousness in action. I look to the works, and try to gain an understanding of how consciousness works, how spirit expresses through me ... and what that means about the very nature of reality and the nature of SELF.
By far, this has been the most exciting endeavor and adventure in my life. For what am I after all? I am consciousness, I am Spirit expressing through this physical vessel and discovering WHOM THAT I AM from the works that are done through me. YES, ye shall know them by their works is a powerful spiritual truth.
The time for thinking is past ... as is the time for believing. NOW, we must take the final step and ACT, and through our actions allow the Spirit that we are to express what it will through us.
The bottom line is that WE are not in control ... definitely not consciously. It is spirit that holds the reigns NOW. Actually, it has always been thus. We only thought that we had control. And such is a very sad state. For, none are more completely enslaved as those who falsely believe they are free. Realizing that one is enslaved is the first step toward freedom. The next step is realizing that the shackles that bind us are our own creations. Once we KNOW this, we have the keys to our own liberation. It becomes a matter of ACTING in a manner that is consistent with our true nature as spirit ... as spirit, we are always FREE.
For just over three years, I have been moved to find kindred spirits, fellow members of my "spiritual family". Somehow, I thought this would be easy to do. My sense was that if I did my part and allowed spirit to express through me, and then made the works available ... that spirit would bring forth this family and ensure that our lives became connected in meaningful ways.
However, something went wrong. This simply did not occur ... at least not anywhere near the extent that I felt would occur. I don't know WHY this was so, I only know what I have experienced. At first it was a disappointment, perhaps even a major one. But, most of my life has been experienced as a Hermit. Being alone, and being solely in the company of spirit has always been my primary state of being. Since the exceptions have been rare, I literally have no other basis of experience on which to draw.
Over time, the disappointment faded. What remains is a CURIOSITY. I accept whatever I experience and trust that it is appropriate for my highest growth and for the greatest expression of spirit through me. If this involves others, that is GREAT. If it involves only spirit herself, that is GREAT too. All that matters anymore is that I express whatever I am moved to express to the best of my abilities ... and that wherever I can, I assist others in doing the same.
This is what excites me. This is what drives me to wake up in the morning. This is what keeps my days interesting regardless of what else is on my schedule to do. This is what keeps me glued to the keyboard late into the night. Always there is true work to do, work that captivates one's soul ... work that frees one to truly be all that one can be. This is the work of light, Light, and LIGHT. It is expressed as the numbers 29, 38, and 56 ... all powerful forms of the Master Number 11: The MASTER TEACHER. It is interesting that jesus (15131) and aslan (11315) both vibrate to this number. Further, they contain the same base components. This number also corresponds to the Tarot card JUSTICE.
Curious. I am moved to make some simple transformations. Rotating aslan by one place, we get slana (13151), then reversing the letters, we get anals (15131). Hmm ... 15 13 1 = O M A. 11 3 15 = K C O while 1 13 15 = A M O. Now isn't that interesting. AMO is the mirror reflection of OMA. So, in some real way, "aslan" is the reflection of "jesus".
Further, AMO comes across as AM ZERO to me. And zero is connected to "nothing". AM "NO THING". LOL!!! Now, that is a very great truth in itself. More and more, such is exactly how I experience my reality.
Did not Jesus say something to the effect "of myself, I do nothing ... but it is the Father within me that does all." And here I am saying something quite similar throughout my works ... only for me the source is the divine feminine ... could this be "the Mother within me that does all". Surely this is not mere coincidence. Hmm... REFLECTION INDEED!!!!!
Enough of my meanderings for one evening. Namaste!
Tonight finds me in Colorado Springs. I started the day at home in Monterey, flew to LA and worked for half a day, then caught a plane for here. It makes for an interesting day but a tiring one. I found it interesting to see how many people are travelling on business. Even more interesting is the amount of resources expended to support such travel. It requires transportation to/from the airport, airline travel (along with ticketing, baggage handling, and numerous other jobs required to run airports) then there are rental cars and hotel rooms. The cost and amount of resources expended are simply astounding. And, this doesn't count all the time virtually lost in travelling. For me that was close to eight hours today ... though the first two hours were "personal travel"; that is, if travel to get from home to work is "personal".
So, what is my point? Is all this travel truly necessary? And, are the services provided, and resources expended for these services truly worth it? My sense is NO! Clearly something is missing. It seems there has to be a better way ... a way that is easier on the people who are travelling. No, I don't have any solutions. But, when I notice things that seem wrong and wasteful of resources, I feel a need to speak out. It is as if consciousness herself speaks and voices her objection. One of the key principles of consciousness seems to be to express with elegance wherever she can. This involves doing things in a manner that requires the least resources and least difficulty while doing the job well.
Why is it that we allow wasteful practices to seemingly go on forever? Why do we permit and accept services that are inferior in quality? Why do we not continuously improve things and make them better? The only reason that I can think of is that we have set up a system where virtually no one is responsible for anything ... and clearly not for the BIG things. So, we just accept what we do not feel empowered to change.
OK ... What have you noticed lately that is wasteful or could stand some improvement? And, what factors are allowing it to continue to operate in the manner that it does? What obstacles are there that prevent improvement from taking place? What actions can members of our community take to start making a difference?
