Since the writings have been so abundant since the beginning of the year, I thought it might be interesting to take some time and highlight some of the key quotes that have come through to date this year.  ENJOY!

I do not have the inner sight to allow me to see what is to be.  What I do have is an inner knowingness that spirit can be trusted to express in the manner that is right in each moment.  It does this of its own, through moving us to do what we must do.  In this way spirit expresses through flesh, in the only expression that truly matters in this world.

God has always been troublesome to me ... a masculine energy/figure to whom I could not personally relate.  Spirit/Source has always been feminine to me.

Our belief systems form effective filters that limit what we experience as reality.

Yes, that is what it takes, self work; first to identify what our beliefs are and how they are related to one another, and then to remove the foundations from those we no longer choose to be governed by.

Reality is created not so much by what happens as by what meaning we assign to what happens.

We can desire that certain things occur, and we can take action and do things that might facilitate them occurring.  However, it always seems that there is an unknown that is part of the equation that we cannot control, try as we might.  It is this unknown that keeps life challenging and interesting.

We are gods in becoming ... but we are not gods in fact yet.  As such, we have some creative powers, but it is best if we use these in service to spirit and to others to the degree that we can.

For many people, belief systems are effectively their masters.  The rightful role of belief systems is as servants.

We fix belief systems by examing the core beliefs and their supporting "facts" and then questioning the validity and usefulness of what we find.  Utility is the key for beliefs.  They either serve us or they don't.  Those that do not serve should be eliminated and replaced with more empowering ones.

If there is one area of your life that is most worth examining ... that will cause the biggest difference in your life and the reality that you experience, this is it, BELIEFS!  This is where the greatest benefit results from the effort expended.  This is where we attack the cause directly, rather than only dealing with the symptoms.

Awareness is the most important thing in the world.  It is the only thing that we carry forward from one lifetime to the next.

We are ONE people on ONE planet.  Further, we are all spawned from and connected to the same ONE consciousness.

It seems that our spiritual job is something that we must volunteer for, something that we choose to do because we must, because we are driven to do it as the very expression of whom that we are.

This has been a key approach in my spiritual growth ... observing what I am able to express and then attempting to come up with a framework for how reality and reality creation work that accounts for this expression/experience.

Thought forms are entities with lives of their own.  It is thought forms that create physical forms.  If we want to change society, that is the place to start, with more empowering thought forms.

It is this later directive, never take more than you give, that generates surplus in society.  If everyone takes, the supply is insufficient, resulting in lack and poverty.  The key is to realize that through cooperation, our collective giving generates abundance ... more than we could ever need.

When we come from a sense of awareness that we are all ONE, everyones troubles are our collective troubles.  As such, we are responsible to do something to make things better.  If we choose to neglect our responsibility ... we must suffer the consequences.  In many cases, we don't see these as consequences.  We simply accept them as the way that the world is, and hence do not feel empowed to correct them.  However, no matter how the world is, it is within our power to change it into what we would choose for it to be.

"God helps those who help themselves" comes to mind.  But, as ONE, whenever we help another we are helping another part of our greater SELF.  Further, it is through us that God provides this help.

It is amazing how much difference a person can make when they commit to making a difference with their life.

A society is an organization that we collectively build of our own free will.  It is something that we should choose to be part of ... not just are part of because of where we happen to be born.

It helps to have an unconditional trust in spirit, and the inherent spiritual nature of everything.

Each of us is a unique aspect of the one consciousness ... a unique facet of the same diamond.  What we experience and how we experience it are fresh and new.

Spirit learns from every experience, every success and every failure.

Look around, nearly everything in nature undergoes many failures for each success.  The trick is to keep on going and to keep on trying new things.  If these are coming from spirit, success is assured maybe sooner than one might think.

It is important to engage both sides of ones brain in any endeavor, to see things from a more balanced whole.

The big picture is not contained in what we experience as objective reality.  Similarly, subjective experience does not necessarily provide insight into the objective world that is the common background and setting for experience.  Both logic and feeling/ intuition have their roles in life.  Both need their avenues of expression.  Further, it helps if this can be done in an integrated manner.  After all, we are ONE individual, not just a collection of independent parts.

The world may be a big place, but our self is a much smaller domain, in which we have the authority to do what we will and be whom we are and become what we are capable of becoming.  This is not hard work.  It is a natural process.

The acorn knows exactly what it takes to become a mighty oak tree ... all it takes is the right environment to nurture its growth.  Similarly the seed of spirit or consciousness that sparked us, knows exactly what we are meant to grow to be and how to get us there.  It is a matter of trusting in the process.

We are wasteful of our most important natural resource; the talents, abilities, and creative energies of our people.  This is the area where the most improvement is needed ... yet, it is not clear that much effort or focus is being expended in this area.

Where everyone gets what they need ... by definition, there is no lack and no one living in poverty.  At the highest level, it is indeed that simple.  It is the implementation that creates the difficulty.  To begin with, how do we as a society and as individuals enter into such a contract?

It is often related to consciousness.  It flows smoothly to wherever it is needed, and it takes the form of whatever container is made available to it.  Hmm ... interesting that the next age would be that of the water bearer.

Knowledge seems to grow best where it is open and free.  This minimizes unneeded replication of effort allowing more resources to be focussed on doing new things, creating new products and services, or improving things.

Everything is known by the collective consciousness, and it will ensure that what needs to be revealed is revealed to those with a need to know.  This is not something that it is our call to make, it is spirits.

I am still amazed at what spontaneously came through in 1993 and 1994.  I still go back to revisit the expressions and accompanying states of consciousness that I experienced then.  Each time, I am blown away that such material could just start coming forth.

Original thought is that powerful.  It takes us to places that bring shivers down our spines, and surges of energy through our bodies.

Being whom that you are, expressing spirit in flesh to the best of ones abilities, and becoming all that you can be are the directives of spirit.  These are the things which truly matter in life.  All else is the illusion of the play.  And oh, what a wonderful and engaging illusion it is.

I desire to start relating to others deeply, spirit to spirit.  This goes far beyond an interest in one anothers life.  It involves being mutually supportive of one another, facilitating the expression of spirit in one another, and fostering spiritual growth and awareness.

Am I crazy?  Perhaps, but then you have to wonder how these ideas and observations could come forth as they do.  There is an organization that cannot be denied.  There is a purpose and a meaning in what is expressed.  Further, at times it can be quite moving to the spirit.

We are the generation that choose to exist at this time when the transition to a new social order would occur.  At some level, we know this.  It is a matter of being true to ourselves and taking responsibility for doing our part to facilitate the transition.  Actually, it seems we are talking of generation(s), since the people on the planet span nearly 5 generations; though this is skewed sharply toward the younger two of these.

See a need and fill it ... that is the key to economic success.  Hmm ... that seems to be what the spiritual directive calls for as well, to provide ones services to help fill the needs of society.

I'm a writer and a scribe ... but it is not clear that I am a communicator.  This requires that a message be conveyed.  It generally involves intent to make a point.  That is not the purpose of these musings.  My only intent is to express what I am moved by spirit to express as faithfully as I can.

Clearly, I live in a world of my own making.  In very real ways my world conforms to the structures that I have imagined.  Yes, imagined ... because they did not exist before I started to believe in them.  At the same time, it seems that I am discovering the structures and nature of a spiritual world that is already there, embedded in every aspect of the consensus world.  I do this by choosing to spend time listening to what would come forth from inside of me.  I believe the source to be spirit, the ONE consciousness that animates us all.

As far back as I can remember, I have always had the ability to know the truth when I saw it ... actually, read it for the most part.  These writings provide a means of reading what spirit would have me know.  It is still strange to be reading the truths revealed in this manner.  There is something special about being able to rely on an inner source to unveil such information.

Being actively involved in the reality creation process results in a real natural high.  You might say that I am intoxicated by spirit.  It is interesting that I have always avoided the consumption of spirits ... I can't stand the taste and smell of alcohol.  Part of this comes from a knowingness that I am to experience altered states of consciousness naturally, and alcohol would just get in the way.

The saying "I'll believe it when I see it" comes to mind.  But reality creation reverses this:  you will see it when you believe it.

When I see myself doing new things in new ways, that is a sure sign that another part has awakened.  Then comes the task of discovering what it can do, and ultimately integrating it into my conceptual framework of self so that I can operate as the new whole that I am.  Interesting, the former Army slogan be all that you can be comes to mind.  As the self expands by finding more of its parts and integrating them, this becomes all the more important.  At any moment, this is indeed the best that we can do.  But, we must keep in mind that what we know ourselves to be is only a fraction of what we truly are ... and probably a small fraction at that.  It is amazing what we can do when we open ourselves, and fully apply our talents to whatever spirit would have us do.

Spirit does not force us to do anything.   She prods us gently to do those things that are not only for our own good but the good of all concerned.  Actually, all concerned is somewhat misleading, when in reality there is only ONE!

This communication is still highly a matter of trust.  In particular, trust in unseen processes, and in the inner workings of  consciousness herself in my life.

I accept the world as it is in ways that I never have before.  It is the perfect expression of spirit here and now, no matter how much to the contrary this may appear to be in the world at large.  This does not mean that it does not have its dramas, and plays of good versus evil, challenges of love versus fear, and expressions of many types of limitations.  This is a playground and a schoolhouse for spirit afterall.  It is here that we express and learn of whom that we are through our experiences.  It is here that we advance in awareness so that we can more fully serve as the channels for spiritual expression that we are.

I've been blown away by my experiences starting in 1993, even to the point of losing touch with consensus reality a couple of times, yet I have been able to recover and integrate my experiences into whom and what I am.  In the process, I have become a much more aware individual and have been able to bring forth vast amounts of information from the connection to source inside of me.  Yet, there is a sense that this is only the beginning.  It is as if we have been riding a bicycle on training wheels ... the time has come to truly soar in new ways.  My spirit rejoices in this communication.  It sings what consciousness would have it sing, loudly and joyously.

Differences will always exist between people.  The color of ones skin should definitely not be a major difference in a country where nearly every nationality and ethnicity in the world is represented.  As King said, it is the quality or content of one's character which should be a driving force as to how one is accepted in the world.  This, and ones innate talents and abilities as they are applied to the good of society.

As a society, we can do anything that we want to do.  The question, however, is what should we do.  The sense is that we need to build the infrastructure necessary to allow individuals to grow and thrive and apply themselves creatively in service to society.  For this, it seems that we need to establish a social contract ... defining what the individual must do as a member of society and in return what the individual can expect from society.  This is more than an agreement to abide by laws.  This is an enabling contract that nurtures the individual in return for getting the goods and services that various parts of society need.

At this moment, I AM THAT I AM, spirit expressing in flesh to the greatest degree possible in this moment.  This is true in every moment for everyone.  I am not unique in that regard.  Yes, we are all unique expressions of spirit.  But, the point is that we are all expressions of spirit.

So long as we are satisfied with our chains, and freely choose to bear them, we will do exactly that.  It is for us to recognize that we are in bondage before we can remove the shackles that hold us back from being all that we could be.  It is amazing how used to our shackles we can become ... even interpreting them as the fruits of liberty at times.  Seeing them in this light may make them easier to bear, but in the long run makes it far more difficult to shed them; primarily for fear of what alternatives might take their place.

The workings of consciousness are indeed mysterious, and rightly so.  Consciousness springs from the unknown, and perhaps the unknowable.  It seems that no matter how far we expand, and how many awakenings we undergo, there is always more.

Questions are one of the tools we consciously use to focus our awareness on what we most need to know.

My focus has been on the ideal for nearly all of my life.  However, it seems that the time has come to change this ... and to learn what it takes to truly manifest form in this world.

Foundations are being built, if only in my mind.  Actually, it seems more that foundations are being revealed.  I am simply uncovering what is already there,  what has been right under my nose and right in front of my eyes.  There are no accidents.  The synchronicities that I am discovering are real ... they are the proof that there is a spiritual basis underlying our reality.

It seems that every branch of science and technology has direct spiritual counterparts.  This is how we transform the world in a heartbeat.  Extensive resources (time and money) have gone into developing the tree of knowledge to the degree that we have.  We need to leverage off of all of that work by appropriately adding the spiritual component.  Much of our knowledge deals with what and how.  It seem that spirit adds the key component why.

I am a wayshower.  As such, I must live as I believe and demonstrate this in all of my actions in the world.  My works are my legacy.  They provide a living example of how I would like to see individuals share and act within society.  They show what I mean by expressing spirit in flesh, and to the degree that I can ... explain how I experience consciousness and reality.

To be a Sun or Star, one must have reached the critical mass where ones output is more than ones input.  That is, one must live by the principle never take more than you give.  This is how abundance is created in the world ... individually we must create more than we consume in terms of goods and services.

One of the key behaviors that becomes more conscious with awakening is cooperation.  We find that we cooperate to co-create the reality that we choose to experience.  Aggressive tendencies and the competitiveness are replaced by a sincere desire to help others wherever we can, and to ensure that our efforts are done in a manner consistent with overall good ... not because this is required, but simply because this is the nature of spirit.  Win-win becomes the natural way in which we interact in the world.

This is clearly a hidden world embedded in the symbol systems of our world.  There are triggers everywhere that can lead us to a more conscious awareness of our reality as spirit in flesh.

There is a grand plan being orchestrated by consciousness.  Typically we cooperate subconsciously in carrying out our role in this plan.  We do things without fully knowing why.  Even if we think we know why, our reasons are usually not complete or sound.  There is always an element of the unknown present in everything we do.  This makes life the wonder and mystery that it is.

Expressing spirit in flesh.  That is the sole theme of my life.  Doing this as an individual is one thing, but for me it is not enough.  My purpose envolves finding ways that enable society to do this on a massive scale.  Yes, this is a big task.  What makes me think that I, as one person, can really make a difference?  My answer is that ideas are that powerful.  The right ideas expressed in the right way at the right time can indeed change the world.

Intuition is like that ... it ever seeks new paths of expressing.   Doing the same old things in the same old ways can only take you so far.  In exploring the unknown, we have to be willing to see things differently, make connections in new ways, and intepret things using new methods involving our whole brain and whole Self.

If it were simple, repetitive, and objective ... science would have found out about it already.  Intuition, by its very nature does not perform in that manner.  Spirit ever seeks to express as consciousness in fresh and new ways.  However, there are aspects about our reality that are objective ... that are the same to all observers.  The laws of physics, chemistry, and various other scientific disciplines come to mind.

It seems that the real can be whatever we choose to make it both individually and collectively.  However, it will only be what we choose to make it.  To be able to choose, however, we need alternatives ... these the philosophers and visionaries can provide us.

The sense is that if we can imagine it, if we can create an ideal, then we can take action to manifest it in flesh.  It is all a matter of focus, attention, belief, and action in accord with our beliefs.

My expression is an example of what one person can do.  I shudder to think of what a group cooperating together would be able to achieve.  The power of cooperative effort is truly exponential.

Trust that there is a place inside of you that knows whom that you are, what you are capable of, and how you can allow spirit to express through you to help others in your society and your world.  This is not hard ... it is innate and natural.  Once you tap into it, you will find it easy, you will find that it gives you joy in ways that nothing else in your life does.

When we are doing what spirit would have us do, we find that we are more satisfied with our lives.  Making a difference does that to us.  The best way to make a difference is to engage spirit.  When we do this, we truly operate on all cylinders as the saying goes.

Caught a brief moment of President Bush's State of the Union address.  In it, he was calling for every American to give two years, 4000 hours, of the remainder of their life in service to their fellow citizens and the people of the world.  I found this remarkable.  It is not quite a tithe of time, but it is a good start toward reaching that.  4000 divided by 40 years is 100 hours per year or roughly 2 hours per week.  That's half of what I have suggested as the right amount of time for us to give in voluntary service to society.

As citizens, we owe something to our fellow citizens.  This comes close to being a contract, except it doesn't have any reciprocal terms.  It asks that each of us gives and does good works but doesn't explicitly state what we get in turn.  Clearly, this is a kinder, gentler, safer society.

It is time that we collectively take responsibility for our society and our world.  These are, after all, what we jointly and cooperatively make them to be.  Yes, we create our reality.  We are individually and collectively responsible for everything that we experience.

Everywhere around me is a synchronistic order that defies explanation other than that it is the very nature of spirit expressing in flesh.  In many ways, the symbol systems around me and the meaning that I apply to them are the world in which I live.  Not by natural law as in the physical but by choice.  I have to actively see the world through a unique set of filters to perceive it as I do.

We each see and experience the world in a manner that provides the impetus and environment for our growth as human beings and as spiritual beings expressing in flesh.

There is a sense that everyone is doing their best, given their understanding, abilities, and the circumstances in which they find themselves.  This does not mean that they are being the best they can be ... only the best they can be in the moment.

The bottom line is that the power of love is far greater than that of fear if only we allow ourselves the freedom to express it.

Being different takes extensive work and an innate trust in self to express in a manner that is right for us, regardless of how it appears to the world.  It is not something to be taken lightly.  Though, once we start doing it ... it seems to be the most natural thing in the world.  We simply do what we are moved to do, not constrained by expectations or demands that others may place on us.

Our truth requires that we live up to the image of ourselves that we have inside of us and that we take action to be the best that we can be in all that we choose to do.  That doesn't mean that we don't have obligations ... in fact we have many: to spirit, to our self, to others in our lives, to our society, and to our world.  As we become more aware, it seems that we take on more and more obligations ... not because they are forced on us, but because we freely choose to recognize our responsibilities.  In a very real way, we see these as sacred.  They are a natural part of our existence as spiritual beings.

I do not advocate the loss of individuality, the merging of individuals into a society that makes no distinctions.  Far from it ... I believe what makes society great is the expression of individuality.  A true society should develop the unique gifts and talents of its individuals and encourage their expression in ways that provide benefit to society.

There is an intelligence designing and creating the events in our world including the thoughts that are experienced by each individual.  There is a grand plan for the unfoldment of consciousness and each of  us have roles in executing this plan.

It still amazes me to see how the symbols that relate to me personally can have so much meaning not only in a context limited to my self, but in a context that applies directly to society and the world as well.  It is as if my life is somehow a miniature representation of the world.  Yes, as above, so below again.

Anytime people choose to be of service to others, the net effect on the world is positive.  The greater the service, the more the benefit.

My hope is that by sharing my experiences, thoughts, feelings, and states of mind;  I can allow you to walk in my shoes so to speak ... and thereby sample something of what I experienced and perhaps even undergo an awakening or two of your own.

I have seen what can happen when one combines intuition and reason.  The combination does far more than either can do alone, or both can do alone for that matter.  Further, I have seen what happens when conscious, subconscious, and superconscious work together ones life.  The creativity that is unleashed is truly phenomenal.

At this moment I am addicted to sitting on the edge and allowing consciousness to express what she will in free form ... or free of form, as she will.  There is something exciting about living on the edge of the unknown.  There is a powerful feeling that comes from being able to harness consciousness in this manner.

We live in an information age.  The ability to generate information and make it freely available electronically to others is one of the main benefits of living in this day and age.

Yet, in many ways, being in formation is exactly opposite of what I want to be.  I am an individual and a freethinker.  I consider the ideas of others, but am much more content and at home with what is able to be expressed through me.

There is still a sense that there is much more that can be expressed, that I have only scratched the surface of what I can be ... and more important, what we can be cooperating together to create the reality that we would prefer.

Don't get me wrong I don't want to be social just to be social,  I want to interact with others to create a society unlike any that has ever existed on this planet.  This we can choose to do collectively.  All it takes is a trust in our selves, our Selves, and one another.  This may not be such an easy thing to establish ... but as with all great endeavors, we have to be willing to risk in order to see a return.  This works for investments in the economy.  Why should it be any different for spiritual investments, for that is exactly what these collective choices constitute ... spiritual investments in ourselves and in one another.

Collectively, we have a great deal of resources at our disposal ... the greatest of these being the talents and abilities of the individuals in society.  We need to find a way to apply these far more effectively than we do today.   That is how we generate abundance ... we develop peoples talents and then use them in a manner that provides maximum benefit to society.

We need to see a shift from ME to WE, in how individuals express in the world.  Selfish interests need to be replaced by selfless service.  In this process, the intent is not to exterminate the individual; rather it is to emphasize what both the individual and group can gain if individuals cooperate in larger endeavors.

Jointly, we have a Brave New World to face ... better yet to create.  In this world, no one is better than another.  One may have more skills, or more education, or more income, or more things ... but if one isn't fully applying oneself in service to society, then all that you have and more may be taken from you.  In a spiritual economy, there is always a balance exacted.  Spirit doesn't care how much you acquire and consume so long as you balance this with service so that you have effectively earned the abundance with which you have been blessed.

We have needs which must be met, and the key thing we have to offer in exchange for meeting these needs is ourselves, our talents, and our time in service to employers and ultimately to our fellow man.

This is what the economy should do for us in society ... provide the means for exchanging our time and talents for the goods and services that we need to live creative, productive, useful, meaningful, abundant, fulfilling, and happy lives.

How do we get people to operate for the greatest good of all concerned rather than out of limited self-interest alone?  No, we are not advocating that individuals give up on their dreams and goals.  We are simply asking that the means they employ to achieve these ends are considerate of the whole.  This does not mean that we must sacrifice whom that we are for others; rather we must be whom that we are and apply ourselves in service to others.

When we tap source, we also tap into the great reservoir of cooperative effort that lies beneath everything that we experience.
Because of this, things are orchestrated without us having to even try to make them so.  This doesn't mean they can't be
improved by conscious assistance.  We can volunteer to do the works of spirit.  We can volunteer to do what we are here in
flesh on this planet to do.  In doing so, we do our part in the overall plan of the expression of spirit in flesh.

There is something wonderful about creative expression.  It involves every aspect of ones being, allowing us to express whom that we truly are in ways that no other endeavor allows.

What does it mean to be a Spiritual Warrior?  With what and whom do I battle?  My fight is with the self and its habits, including its habitual way of looking at the world.  I am ever in search of the higher Self and in finding ways for it to more fully express in my life.  My weapons are my mind, my perception, and my awareness.  I seek to know the real from the illusion and to know the purpose for the illusion and methods for its creation.

We get what we focus our energy, attention, and resources on.  It is that simple.  To make progress in any area of knowledge, we must choose to apply extensive effort in that area.  In general, the more effort and resources, the more progress.

Being whom that we are, and expressing this in service is what we are meant to do.  All that is within us seeks to find our place and express in this manner.

So, where do we start to change our world?  We start by thinking and believing differently as individuals.  Where possible we
conduct our affairs with other individuals, with society, and with the organizations in society in a WIN-WIN manner.

From my perspective, the most important things that we can learn are not taught in traditional schools.  How can this be?  I can only state what I have observed.  Over 90 percent of what I consider to be the most important things that I have learned, including all the metaphysics, came outside of any school environment, or any class for that matter.

There is no fee charged or price placed on this material.  All that I ask is that people live by the principle never take more than you give and look within to place a value on what they get from the works and find a way to repay that value to society by giving of themselves in some way.  This is how we change the world.  This is how we create abundance!  Yes, it is that simple.  It truly is.

Everything is spirit.  Everything is godstuff.

If spirit is pulling the strings from the inside, and cooperation is the basic mode employed by spirit ... then why do individuals find it so important to be independent and autonomous?  Why do we resist doing our part to help society and the world?  Why do we not see our responsibilities to our selves, our families, our communities, our organizations, our societies, and our world?

We intuitively know what we are here to do, and what rules we need to play by as we express.

There is a wealth of ideas on ways to make things better and ways to improve society.  We just need to collectively decide which of these to put in practice and then commit the appropriate resources to make them so in our society and our world.  There is a sense that we are closer to manifesting a utopia or heaven on Earth than we have ever been.  It is a matter of realizing this and choosing to do what it takes to make it so.

We either believe that there is a grand plan for the unfoldment of spirit or we do not.  Personally, I've seen so many signs that this is something I simply do not doubt.  I accept it on faith ... a deep and abiding faith in spirit or consciousness herself.

Beliefs are the playground for reality creation.  They are not absolute.  The test of whether they are right is utility ... do they serve not only you but all concerned?

When it comes down to the bottom line, service is all that truly matters.  I was going to say love, but that alone is not enough ... love needs to be expressed and applied in some manner.

Ultimately it is what we give of ourselves that makes the difference in the world.  However, we must remember that what we give comes not from us but through us.

So long as we believe that we are the source, the supply is limited ... we only have so much that we can give, there is only so much that we can do.  But when we expand our awareness and realize it is source or spirit that expresses through us, the supply becomes infinite.  The limit becomes our capacity to accomodate the flow of spirit through us.

So, how do we change the world?  We start by changing ourselves ... by finding whom that we are, and more fully expressing our authentic selves in our actions and interactions in our world.

We either adopt new ways and learn to go with the flow ... or we fight the tides in whatever way we can.  Going with the flow is always the easier road to travel.  But, the shift may be so radical that it is difficult for people to see this.  This is why we need wayshowers, people who can venture out into the new, into the unknown, and report of their travels.  In particular, they need to share what works and what doesn't work in this new wilderness of spirit.  For it is indeed just that, a wilderness, a new frontier in which consciousness can express.

There is great challenge and great promise in this.  Oh, there will still be limits ... but they will be more clearly seen for what they are, self-imposed.  The goodwill of the people will shine in a way that it has never done before.  The light of spirit will shine not as candlelights, but as floodlights throughout the land.  Kindness and generosity, caring for and helping one another will be the order of the day.

You can never do too much or be too much, especially if you maintain the awareness that it is spirit doing the works through you, and her supplies are inexhaustible.

We create our own reality ...  everyone of us, all of the time, no exceptions, no fine print.

We are each powerful souls, regardless of what our present physical form may indicate.

We chose our parents, our countries of origin, all of the key events and experiences of our lives, and the meaning of those events and experiences.  Of course, we did not do this consciously.  There are many subconscious and superconscious elements operating behind the scenes to create the play that we experience.  But these are parts of ourselves, whether we are consciously aware of them or not.

Spirit ensures that we get what we need ... ALWAYS. That is how the game works.  That is how the process of manifesting in flesh works.  Needs are always met, no matter what they are.

There is a joyous exuberance that comes through when we are living the life we are meant to live.  So, where do we start?  We find out where our natural abilities and interests lie.  We then apply the effort necessary to develop our talents into skills that we can use in the world.  At the same time, we follow our interests to wherever they may lead trusting that this is exactly right for us.  It also helps to connect to the source consciousness within and give that consciousness voice in our life.

Following our bliss is an active choice that we make.  It requires not being content with second best ... not being content until we are being whom that we truly are and expressing this in our lives as fully as we can ... not being content with circumstances as they are but fashioning them to what we would have them be ... not being content with an average life but searching for the extraordinary, that which allows us to make our life the masterpiece that it can be.

This is the key, we are all artists creating what we will on the canvas of our life.  Unfortunately, it seems that many haven't even discovered the paints or the brushes or even realized that they are artists.  Also, while some are natural artists ... others need to be trained ... yet others seem to have no artistic talent at all.  Further, some don't even seem to have the eye to be able to recognize the beauty of art, even masterpieces, when they see it.

I have found it very useful to stay open to all sources of wisdom ... from wherever they might come.  We must give spirit ways of speaking to us ... the more, the better.  Yet, the most important of these is the source inside of us.  This source is the most knowing and the most reliable.  It knows us intimately.  It knows exactly what we need at all times ... even when we may not consciously have a clue.  Finding this source and learning to listen to it and trust it is the most important thing that we can do in life.  I can't say that strongly enough.  This source is the inner Master Teacher within us all.

We are here as individuals, and the sense is that we are here to express as individuals; though there is nothing against collectively choosing to participate as groups to achieve greater objectives that we can achieve alone.  Hmm ... we speak of greater objectives, yet the one through whom these words pass does not live his life by objectives.  Objectives are part of a way of living that says we desire the future to be different than the present, and we choose to take actions consistent with making the objectives so.  The other way to approach this is to realize that what we desire to be is already so, we simply have to act consistent with this and so allow it to manifest in our lives.

At some level, I've already lived in worlds whose foundations are built on the kinds of principles we have expressed in these works.  No, that doesn't mean that these have been physically realized ... at least not yet.  That is why I am here now, to do what it takes to allow these foundations to be built in this world, here and now on this planet we call Earth.

Together we can do far more than the sum of what we can do individually.  That is the secret power of synergy.  Wherever two or more are gathered and work together ... great things can result from the union.

Ultimately giving of ourselves and sharing whom that we are is what truly matters in the world.  This is how we live up to the maxim be all that you can be.  This is the only thing truly worth living for.

How can we make the ideal real?  Yes, that indeed is the billion dollar question.  Further, it is the only question really worth
asking.  We start by realizing that one, this is possible;  two, this is desireable;  three, this is indeed worth doing;  four, this is
ultimately what spirit is doing through us.

We are creators bringing the stuff of our dreams and imagination down to Earth.

We are the consciousness of the Earth; evolved into human form over many millenia, or even millions of years.  The recipe is there, in our very DNA.  It is curious that the Human Genome project nears completion.  It has mapped the very pattern that constitutes our ability to express in physical form.  It is hard to foresee what science will be able to do with this knowledge; and what moral issues will arise from our ability to create in our own image.

I believe that as souls, we pick our parents, and our genetic makeup from the raw material available in their genes.  We create the natural abilities and talents that we will discover and develop in the course of our lives.  Yes, we have that much control over the process.  Of course, none of this is done consciously. We must rely on inner, other than conscious parts of us to work their magic.

In a world of unity, things simply unfold as the opening of a flower to the Sun.

This expression of spirit is so important to me that I can't imagine my life without it.  It is as important to me as the air that I breathe.  In a very real way, it is what sustains the spirit in me; just as food, water, and air sustain this physical body.

I would be whom that I AM!  Yes, AM in capitals, because that is what seems appropriate.

One cannot be exemplary without being willing to take on some risk, and greater responsibility.  It goes with the territory.  This is what leaders do.  And yes, I consider myself to be a leader.  No, not in terms of leading a group of people or followers ... though typically that is what leaders are asked to do.

I am open to whatever consciousness has in store for me.  I embrace my experience, whatsoever it may be, with open arms.  I can do this because I know that my life is divinely guided.  It has always been.  But, now it is consciously so as well.  I am aware of the guidance on an everyday basis, not just occasionally as in times past.

In many games, one must adapt ones strategy to embrace a new set of rules when one reaches the next level.  These may be similar, or may be completely different.  Part of the challenge is to find out what the new rules are and how to overcome the opposing forces through employing these rules.  Rules are not strictly of the "thou shalt not" variety.  They can also be expressed in terms of new abilities or powers one has to counter the opposition at the new level.

This expression of consciousness directly to web pages is first by far.  It provides a permanent record of consciousness creatively expressing in flesh, bringing forth whatever it is capable of expressing ... a record that is readily available to share with the world.

We live in an information age.  To be effective in this age, we must develop sophisticated communications skills that allow us to access, collect, process, filter, make connections between, generate, and disseminate information.  We truly are information processing machines in flesh.  This is one of our primary tasks in life.  It is a big part of whom that we are.  It needs to be a bigger part of how we express in the world.  However, it will only be so if we choose to make it so and do what it takes to develop the appropriate skills.

Yes, the information web that I have built over my lifetime is what distinguishes me from all others ... it is what makes me a unique expression of consciousness.

I'm here to help demonstrate how to express the ideal individual within the context of a utopia or ideal society ... even if that was to be a society of one.  For, eventually I knew that someday it would be a society of everyone.

There is no organization in thought before the material is expressed, at least not consciously.  Literally, it just comes forth out of nothingness ... out of thin air so to speak.  This is my means of making the unknown known, to whatever degree I am able.  I do it because it is what I have been designed and trained to do.  I do it because it is what I am moved to do.

For me, being moved to do something is the most compelling reason for doing it.  For me, that is because I believe that it is spirit herself that moves me.

It helps to operate from an attitude of gratitude.  It makes a world of difference in our lives.  There is always something for which to be grateful, even if it is only for life itself.

The past is history ... his story.  The future is her story, the story of consciousness in expression in the world.  Interesting.  Why do I say this?  Simply because it feels right to the core of my being.  Perhaps this is why spirit, source, and consciousness have always had a feminine nature for me.

What matters most is here and now, what is right in front of us, and what is within our reach and grasp.  That is where we can make a difference.

I think in terms of the mind being a chalkboard or a slate.  When it is blank, it provides an opportunity for creative expression to fill the emptyness.  When it is full, there is no room for further expression.

This expression is exactly what it is, no more and no less.  It is the expression of an aware being, attempting to relate whom that he is in the only way that he knows how.  This alone makes it worthy and valuable.  Consciousness benefits from this manifestation ... if only in that it has been allowed to express in a bold new way.

Consciously I choose to be open to new modes of expression in my life.  I need new and different experiences to allow me see the limits of my present concepts, beliefs, and understanding.  Ever increasing awareness is the name of the game.  We do this by finding our limits and breaking through them into a new awareness of reality.

Music is definitely one of the vehicles through which consciousness sings her song.

Everything is spirit and its expression.  Yes, everything ... there literally is nothing else save spirit.

My experiences and positions within society have allowed me to expend a lot of time and effort in developing my natural abilities and in learning about whom that I am and how I function.  Here, I stand on the shoulders of giants who have come before me.  But even more important, I stand on the fountain of spirit that pours forth from within.  This gives me a vantage point that is unique and different from any other in the world.  Yes, that does allow me to see things that others do not see.  That only makes it that much more important that I find ways to express that benefit others ... preferable many others, and perhaps, in time, the entire world.  Yes, that is a substantial burden to place on anyone.  But, I accept it willingly as my duty to spirit.  I know that gifts are only given where they are needed.  They are meant to be used ... freely for the good of all.

The goal is to intentionally create an order that allows synergy to manifest ... that allows the collective to create and express more than the sum of the individuals operating alone can do ... preferably far more.

Currently we spend a lot of the time and energy of our best and brightest in support of Defense and the creation of better weapons and machines of destruction.  Just imagine what could be if we applied even a fraction of this effort to more beneficial endeavors.  Then take this to another level ... that is what Beyond Imagination is all about.

Many of the details of the events in the play that we experience do not ultimately matter.  They are just scenes in the play, the backdrop on which the stuff of life is lived.

There is a faculty within me that is able to discern what is true, not true, and unknown ... at least for me personally.  I have no experience to know whether others have this same faculty within them.  My sense is that we all must, as the expression of spirit in flesh, but for many it may be blocked or hidden by a number of factors, the primary one being the belief systems.

I consider myself an adventurer, an explorer of the unknown frontiers of consciousness, and a wayshower.  These musings and the other works at this site are the markers that I have left along the way in my journey.  My hope is that they are sufficient to guide you to states of mind and states of consciousness that you may not have experienced before.

My only guide came from inside of me ... so the path was quite treacherous and challenging, enough to require two vacations to the local mental hospital.  I wouldn't wish that upon anyone.  It is a severe shock to ones sense of being; one that can take a long time to recover from.

From what I have seen, increased awareness brings increased conscious responsibility into ones life.  Along with seeing more and being more, comes the responsibility to share and express more.

Being open to light from whatever source it may come, and finding that oracle within of which Channing speaks are extremely important.  I can not stress that enough.  If I would have to name the two most important things to my development as a more aware being through which spirit can express as she does ... these would be the two things.

There is a sense that I have discovered some very important keys, but that I haven't found the doors which they unlock.  Not to worry.  All in good time.  What can be revealed to and through me, is being revealed.

This is not gospel.  It is the wanderings of a consciousness in search of understaning itself, its reality, and the nature of spirit and its expression in flesh.  We may follow a few dead ends along the way ... or seeming dead ends.  In many cases, these are only dead because we haven't found their connections to other parts of the web.

We are the eyes and ears of God, the arms and legs of God, and the brain and heart of God, yes all 5 billion plus of us humans, but also every other lifeform, and non-lifeform that exists.

Without us, there would be no means of experiencing the limitation of the illusion of reality ... of the creation.

All limitations are partitions, parts of the whole.  Because they are parts, they are separate from other parts.  This separation permits the parts to observe, sense, and interact with one another ... thus allowing God or All That Is to experience this as well.  In truth, we are whole, and ONE ... there is no separation.  But, in our experience as individuals, we can only catch brief glimpses of this ultimate nature of our reality.

It seems that each day more and more pieces of information are discovered and connected to appropriate places in the web that constitutes my knowledge base.

My wife commented at lunch that my numbers were very much like John Nash's clippings and connections in the movie last night.  I responded that the one difference was that John was looking for meaning embedded in ordinary material by other humans in coded form ... while I was looking for the meaning enbedded by spirit via numbers.  For me, this is a big difference, but I can see how others might not see so.  The behavior is indeed very similar ... except for seeing people that did not exist.  There John Nash's imagination was working far differently than mine.

The world is moving to where consciousness is taking it, and this is happening through the collective expression of individuals.  It has to happen in this manner.  It has to be made physical through individual expressions of consciousness for the one to learn of the many and the many to learn of the ONE.  Some of us are here to express the outbreath ... to experience reality primarily as individuals.  Others of us are here to realize that this is indeed a cycle and that the inbreath always follows the outbreath ... ever into eternity.

All creation is the breath of God, the sound, the Word of God made physical and flesh.

My job is to enable the expression ... to facilitate it and to participate in it.  In a very real way, the expression is created through me ... but not by me.  I am the instrument, but I am in spirits hands.  She is the ultimate author of the expression ... though, without me, she could not express in this particular manner.

Consciousness happens in a domain that exists beyond the physical.  All of life is a highly orchestrated and cooperative endeavor ... despite what it appears to be on the outside alone.

There is a reason people have become part of my world ... and I part of theirs.  The usual reason is that we have something to share with one another.

That is what physical expression truly is, the expression of spirit in flesh.

My belief is that spirit never gives us gifts unless there is a task for which the gifts are needed.  Along with the gifts comes a sacred responsibility to use them in the service of spirit, and ultimately of all humankind ... or better yet, all life.

What we love to do will be those things that allow us to elegantly engage our gifts and talents in ways that make a difference in our world.

Whatever moves you is right for you ... engage in it and pursue it to your hearts desire so long as it harms no one.  Do as ye will, so long as ye harm none.  This be the whole of the law - comes to mind from Wicca.  I'm not sure that is the only law needed, but it is definitely a powerful one that assures safety for individuals while permitting the maximum degree of freedom.

Yes, there is a very strong sense that a new day has indeed come.  It is not something in the distant future.  It is here and now, at least in consciousness.  It is only a matter of delay time before it is manifest physically.  And it seems that the time between idea and manifestation is decreasing rapidly even as we speak.

Spirit has descended one more step into matter, a very major step.  It is as if the entire Major Arcana can express in the world now ... not just in the dream world.

I am the awareness that experiences what I experience and that applies meaning to this experience.  Literally anything can mean anything that I choose for it to mean.  It helps if the meanings that I apply have some basis in reality, but there is nothing that either forces or ensures this.

We need to decide what is acceptable and what is unacceptable in our world.  We have the right to expect organizations within society to serve us in a manner that is acceptable.  Those unwilling to step up and abide by our expectations and the rules and laws established to ensure these expectations are met, have no right to participate in our market.  You either agree to serve society ... or you cannot participate in the abundance created by society.  Yes, it is that simple.

There is something fascinating to me about operating at the edge between the known and unknown.  As you've no doubt noticed, this is not a scholarly endeavor.  There are no connections to a body of works which have come before.  There are few quotes and no footnotes.  There is no planning evident for what will come forth.  Each day is fresh and new.  Yes, there are common themes running through the material ... the most common being the expression of spirit in flesh.

My sense is that here on these pages, we get to experience consciousness expressing physically in a manner that is unique, in a manner that has not been experienced before.

 There is something about stream of consciousness expression that is natural, yet in a wild and unpredictable way.  That is part of what makes it so fun and interesting.  But, I can only judge that for myself.

Yes, consciousness is still an unknown frontier for the most part.  And, those of us who are its explorers have a responsibility to others to share of what we discover and leave markers of our journey for those who are to come after us.  We don't need everyone to be an explorer ... we only need a sufficient number of explorers to allow the job to be done effectively.

The realm of consciousness has its own character, its mountains, forests, canyons, valleys, rivers, lakes, oceans ...  There are many ways to approach it, some traditional, but many untraditional.  It is not clear that scientific means are adequate in this realm.  That doesn't mean they won't be able to assist at some point.  It just seems that the intuitive abilities are better suited for uncovering the nature of the reality that is consciousness.

There is ONE consciousness expressing through us all.  Each of us is doing exactly what we need to do to express what we are meant to express and to learn and experience what we need to learn and experience.  And, everyone is doing this to the best of their abilities, under the circumstances in which they find themselves.

At some level, there is no duality, there is no good and evil, there is just spirit expressing in flesh.  Yes, I understand that in the world we see many atrocious things happening, but this is a judgment coming from a limited perspective.

The edge of the unknown is the domain of explorers.  This is what attracts and excites us, to the core of our being.  We are attracted as a moth to a light source.  We may not even know why we do what we do, it is simply a natural expression of whom that we are.

In a very real way, I'm a miniature version of the world.  My life reflects where spiritual expression is moving on a grander scale in the world.  There is a sense that the more that I am able to express, the more fully and deeply ... the more spirit will be able to express in the world.  Yes, the sense is that it is conditional in this manner; that my life is indeed one of the keys through which spirit is unlocking the doors to a new world.

My obligation is to do what I know to be right for me, and to do it fully, with all my heart and to the best of my abilities. Yes, that was meant to be emphasized.  It is the heart, not the mind, that needs to be the star by which we steer the course of our life.

I don't know how to describe intuition.  It is just there, an inner connection to source.  I distinguish source from my self.  It is part of what is not me, at least part of what is not consciously me.  I don't know how it functions, or how it gets the information that it is able to tap.  It just does.  My sense is that there must be a receptiveness and affinity, that the faucet of intuition can only tap information that fits within the overall constructs of the self somehow, albeit, this includes the hidden and subconscious parts as well as any superconscious parts that have been developed.  Then we have to learn how to consciously turn on the faucet or open up the channel that allows the information to flow forth.

That is the trouble with living in ones mind.  One bases what one believes on the foundations of ideas from others without necessarily experiencing firsthand whether the ideas are truly valid.  It matters not how many people believe something ... if it is wrong, it is simply wrong.

Looking back, there is not one of the hundred things that I consider most important to my existence as a spiritual being in flesh that I learned in school, from my family or social environment, or in church.  I could just as easily have said "thousand" things or "ten thousand" things.  Yes, I have picked up a lot of things from books ... particularly metaphysical books, but none of these were required or even suggested reading in any classes that I took.

I've read over a thousand metaphysical books.  Further, I've probably generated over two thousand single spaced typed pages of material.  Yet, out of all of this, I would be hard pressed to come up with a single quote that I remember.  That, even though I've gone through and selected many pages of best quotes from the Beyond Imagination material, and I've read many of these quotes over two dozen times.

We possess the talents that we do for a reason.  They are the primary tools that we have for making our way in the world. They are the gifts that we have been given through which to offer our services to our fellow man.  It is our responsibility as sentient beings to discover them, to develop them, and to apply them as best we can.

I write not for any entity, and not even for myself, but for what I can only describe as an energy or a consciousness that comes forth from within me.

The sense is that life is not something one needs to work at.  It is something that simply unfolds naturally like a flower to the sun -- sometimes even when we are focussed on doing something else like growing or being involved in relationships.

Spirit is far greater than any concepts of her that we have as well.  One of our biggest problems overall is in overly constraining how she expresses in our life.  Nothing is too great for her.  Nothing is too great for us when we are expressing spirit fully through us to the degree that we are able.

More and more, there are signs that things are opening up, that spirit is finding new and more powerful ways of expressing in our lives and in our world.

Change happens when individuals choose to make a difference, and choose to take a chance at expressing something new; such as in Celine Dion's new song.  Yes, a New Day has Come, indeed.

Time for a spiritual break that renews and refreshes.  Indeed, that is what this is ... a spark of sunshine to light up my life, only in this case, the source is from within.  And rightfully so, for that is where the only true light is ... the light of spirit itself.

She (source) is majestic, so much so that my concept of self pales by comparison ... and I have a pretty exalted concept of self.  But then, there is self, and there is Self ... and even greater there is SELF, the ONE consciousness that animates us all.

This is the one thing that matters most in all existence.  It is the one thing that we take from lifetime to lifetime.  The level of awareness that we have achieved is ours to keep.

Abundance is assured when we operate by the principle from the Lion King - the secret to life is to never take more than you give.  And, that is the goal, abundance for all ensuring that physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs are met.  This can be achieved, and in our lifetime.  It is all a matter of taking responsibility and choosing to make it so in our world.

Talents and abilities are varied for a reason.  It makes for a much more interesting variety of expression and experience in the world.

What do we do about the lack of education on the part of large portions of the population?  What do we do about lack of health care or sanitary conditions?  What do we do about lack of suitable shelter, lack of work, and insufficient food?  These are real problems in the world.  What does it take to make them our challenges rather than their problems?  If the world is to change, this is what it will take.  It is not clear that world circumstances allow such problems to be fixed locally.  I guess it is fair to ask should these problems even be fixed?  My sense is yet, for the alternative is nearly unthinkable ... basically, to write off a large portion of the population as undeserving of an abundant life.  I'm not willing accept this.

The middle road is generally the one that is most beneficial.  This would require giving up some of our autonomy as individuals to participate in a structure greater than ourselves that constitutes society.  Not a society that we live in by chance, because we happen to be born into it.  Rather, a society that we create and empower by choice.  It is how society is empowered that enables it to ultimately produce a greater expression, a greater reality that benefits its constituents.

It is time for the lifeforms that constitute societies to be born, grow, multiply, and evolve at rates that have not occured before.  Yes, this is much of what the new age is all about.  We are to experiment with how we can express as groups in bold new ways.  We have had teams, companies, orchestras, musical groups, congregations, social clubs, and even government agencies.  But, that is just scratching the surface of what can be.

Consciousness creating what she will can work wonders in our lives, if only we will give her the opportunity to express through us.

We can share in many ways ... with family, friends, co-workers, or simply with goodwill to others including strangers.  Then again, in a world that is ONE, there can be no strangers.  We are all connected, we have simply forgotten how much so.

Actually, we all create the worlds that we experience.  Yes, there are some aspects that are created en masse.  But, in reality there are many worlds embedded in the fabric of the physical universe.  In particular, there are spiritual and symbolic worlds that are definitely tailored to individual and collective needs for experience.

Many of the things that I do and think about may be strange but they are OK for me.  I don't force my beliefs and opinions on others but I freely offer what I know and discover as a gift to the world ... because I have experienced it to be a gift from spirit, the greatest gift that I could be given.  I am ever grateful for the active role that spirit plays in my life.  She has become such a part of what I consider to be me that there is no separation anymore.  There is no real way to distinguish what I do from what she does through me.  It is as if they are two sides of the same coin.

What does this material have to offer the reader?  My hope is that it offers the perspective of a fellow traveller ... a wayshower who has explored some of the frontiers of consciousness and attempts to bring back a sample of what he has found.  Perhaps by allowing you to walk a ways in my shoes, some of my experiences and resulting awareness will somehow rub off and assist you in having your own experiences and alterations in awareness.

Spirit seems to work with conscious information on a need-to-know basis, much as industry, government, and even private citizens.  There is something powerful about making information freely available without restrictions.  For our own personal information, and information expressed by spirit through us, we have the luxury of being able to make it freely available.  In other areas of our life: our employment is contingent on accepting responsibility to treat information in accordance with the rules; and our friendships and relationships may be dependent on maintaining confidentiality of private information.  One of the signs of a need to know, is being moved to ask.  Questions are one of the primary means for demonstrating that we are ready to know something.

I am curious to know how my conceptions and perceptions of the world and of reality compare with those of others.  Right now, I have no basis to know what is common versus what is unique to me.  Yet, I desire to know the difference.

The goal of enabling spirit to more fully express in flesh is achieved by making what is unique into what is commonplace.  At least, that is one practical way of pursuing the goal.  I'm sure there are others.

For your eyes only ... only for you ...  That is the feeling that comes across now, that much of this expression has indeed been for my eyes.  In particular, it has come through in a manner that was natural for me to understand.  I still feel that it has much to offer to others as well, if only to serve as an intimate example of where one consciousness has been.  What does it mean about spirit, and about the nature of reality, that all of this would be done for my eyes only?  What does it mean about the importance of one individual that such resources and effort would be expended in allowing me to see and experience the world as I do?  And if spirit does all this for my eyes ... what does she do on an equivalent scale for you in your life?

Life will unfold as it will.  What must be will indeed happen.  There is nothing that I have to do to make it happen, rather it is more of an acceptance and allowing of it to happen in the manner that is appropriate.

Our beliefs do play a major role in attracting what we experience.  It doesn't matter whether we know this to be true or not.  This is simply how reality creation works.  We experience reality in accordance with our beliefs.  This is not simply what we think that we believe or what we pay lip service to.  This is what we truly believe, strongly enough that we act in accord with them.  If we want to change our reality, this is the place to start ... with beliefs and belief systems.

So, what is the message in all this musing?  What is it that I would convey to you individually and to the world at large?  First, we are spirit expressing in flesh and my whole purpose is to facilitate allowing spirit to more fully express through each of us in flesh.  On a larger scale, this involves building the foundations and the infrastructure for a new society and a new world in which this expression is far more easy and commonplace.  Second, awareness that comes from knowing thyself is instrumental to the building of these foundations and to the expression of the I AM that we are.  Third, we are all connected, there is ONE consciousness from which we are spring forth.  Our intuition is our connection to that source within us.  Fourth, we are literally gods who create the reality that we experience ... by attracting it through our belief systems, and then by choosing what meaning we apply to the experiences.

I am a voice for a source that I do not know, other than that I experience it coming through me.  How do I know that it is right.  My only answer is that I just do.  It is like asking how do I know that I exist?  The answer is the same, I just do ... it is obvious, not something that is even subject to question.

My sense is that we all have this place within us, this place that simply knows what is right for us.  It does not rely on reason, rather on direct knowing.  It is as if we already know the truth within us, and that we are simply comparing what we find on the outside with what we know on the inside.

Education first and foremost should teach us of whom that we are, and what we are happens to be spiritual beings having a physical experience.  This is clearly not taught in our schools at any level.  There is something grossly wrong in this ... something that needs to be remedied, and soon.

There is something thrilling about starting anew each day ... trusting that life is unfolding exactly as it needs to be, and doing the work that reveals that it needs to be done.  Yes, living in the moment is important.  However, it takes a lot of bravery, and a faith that if we take care of the things immediately in front of us, the future will take care of itself.   One day at a time.  One moment after another after another.  The moment is where life is truly lived.  It is the only place that we can do anything, the only place where we can take action and make a difference.  And is that not what life is all about ... making a difference in some way with our lives?

In some way there should be a unique difference made because spirit has graced us with her presence in our life ... and has graced the lives of others through this expression.

Why is it so important to make a statement, to make a difference with our lives?  Simply because life is such a precious gift and
it needs to be the gift that keeps on giving, as the saying goes.

Consciousness is always there, residing within us, our key for unlocking all the doors to the universe.  However, to use this key, we must first find it, and then find the doors that it can unlook, and then put the key in and turn the lock to open it.  This is not an easy process ... if it were, the world would be a much better place already.

Patience, we must have patience and simply allow spirit to unfold as she will.  Spiritual expression will not be forced.  It will do what it can when it can.  We must accept that this is enough.  What needs to be done is being done.

However, for me, it is this expression in words that is my "handiwork" as it were.  Hopefully it comes across as a work of art in its own right.  For, all creative expression that comes from consciousness is art.

I don't believe in link exchanges.  They come across to me as conditional, and my preference is to do things unconditionally where I can.  In particular, as a manifestation of the unconditional expression of love.

How much is it my responsibility to get the word out?  After all, it came through me.  It seems only natural that as its parent, I'm responsible for its upbringing and development.  I wonder what that means for creative work.  Is it the responsibility of a painter to find buyers for his paintings, especially if they are a bold new expression of consciousness?  My sense is that no, it isn't ... this is what we have art dealers for.  However, like such artists, my works may be ahead of their time.  It may take years, decades, or longer to reach a substantial audience that is able to understand and appreciate them.  It doesn't matter.  I express in this manner because I can and because I must.

I have likened myself to a scribe, for this is the primary function that I provide to spirit.  I offer all that I AM in her service.  In return, it seems that I get to know firsthand more of whom that I AM.  That is the fairest of all trades.  It seems that was expressed as a condition.  However, it is more of a statement of fact of my experience.  For the nearly nine years that I have been engaged in this expression ... I have been expanding and growing in ways that I did not even know were possible before.  This expression is without question, the most important activity of my life to date.  So much so, that I cannot imagine what life would have been like without it.

Movies play extremely important roles in our lives.  They allow large numbers of people to have the same very powerful experiences.

As always, the place to start is with the self.  We have control over how we choose to express, what we allow to flow, and what we block and hide from others.  In a very real way, my life must be an open book.  Given that I have been a very private person ... keeping to myself to an extreme, this may be a bit of a challenge.  But, I also have nine years of expression here, in which I have shared what I think, what I feel, what I believe, what I intuit, what I sense, and what I know.  Yes, all of these modes are different.  They use different parts of the self to experience and interpret reality.

From this standpoint, I have shared more of whom that I am on these pages than others generally do.  Except, I do it in the blind ... not knowing with whom I am communicating, unless I receive a return communication in the form of an e-mail.  For instance, I know that the mainpage of the Beyond Imagination site has been hit over 10,000 times in about 7 years.  Yet, I doubt if I've been in communication with even 100 people during that same timeframe.

In the moment, I am only aware of what is to be expressed now, in this moment.  Further, that is only revealed to me as it is expressed.  The sense is that the very act of expressing it makes room for what is to come next.  Without the expression, the channel is blocked, causing an interruption in the flow.

Spirit doesn't "take over" us, rather she operates through us by our willingness to act in this capacity and allow ourselves to be used in her service ... and ultimately in the service of our fellow man and our world.

I can say that I am God, in the same way that any cell or organ of my body can claim the right to say it is Wayne.  No, it is not all of Wayne, but it has no separate existence outside of the context of Wayne.  Similarly, I truly am God stuff ... in every aspect of my being.

There can be no separation other that that which we choose to create and experience.  Much of the richness of our experience, however, comes from our willingness to explore separation and limitation.  This provides for a focus and opportunities of expression and experience that could not otherwise be manifest.

Interesting, I've taken pride in being a hermit, effectively independent of others.  And here, it seems that needing another ... or more importantly needing spirit is the very act that brings her into our life.

All relationships with spirit are cooperative and interdependent.  They are also unconditional, since this is really the only way that the love from spirit can be expressed.  This is its only nature ... it will not be molded by any restriction or conditions.

There are many kinds of people in the world, with many different talents and abilities.  Some are more outgoing and gregarious.  This is perfectly fine.  It takes all kinds as the saying goes, to make the world go round.  One question that comes to mind is:  how do we use these differences effectively for the good of all.  First, we create the infrastructures that allow all of these types to grow and express in the world naturally.  If we can trust the natural expression of spirit, we will be amazed by what it is able to create and how fast.  Next, we create a means for capturing what is learned from each of these perspectives so that the knowledge can be shared in a manner that allows it to benefit any who may need it.  This is how we accelerate the rate of spiritual growth.  We SHARE!  We share what we have, we share what we feel, we share what we know, we share what we experience, we share whom that we are, as much as we can.  Why?  Simply because such is how spirit expresses ... she shares of herself.  In reality, she shares of herself with the parts of her Self.  Interesting.  That is a key realization.  Sharing is not something that involves others, it is something that involves multiple parts of the same entity ... the same ONE consciousness.

Being aware makes a tremendous difference in ones attitude towards things.  It makes one more caring about self and about others and the world, more allowing, and far less judgmental.  These are very good things that ultimately lead to a far kinder and gentler world, a world that we would all like to live in someday.

The trick is how to make "someday" now.  This is where the art of reality creation comes into play.  We change our individual reality by changing our beliefs and expectations about the world.  For, in the reality game, these are what tend to manifest ... unless the beliefs conflict.

Many of the key ideas regarding society that I express here are in conflict with the fundamental principals of freedom and free enterprise and rugged individualism on which this country is founded.  From my perspective, that does matter.  If the ideas are better ... in particular, if they have greater utility, then they will have their day in the Sun as the saying goes.  There will be nothing on Earth that can stop them when the time is right.

That does not mean it is necessary to fight for what I believe to be right.  It does mean that I should do what I can to work for what I believe to be right.  There is a big difference.  The first involves an enemy against which one is aggressively laboring.  The second can be far more peaceful and patient, allowing what spirit would manifest in her own time.  Remember, it is through us that spirit is able to express and experience in the world.
