Another day ... another opportunity for expressing what spirit would have me express.  I'm still moved to speak of what it takes to create a better world.  The key is a new social order, based on a social contract that we can all believe in.  One major issue is what the contract should be; but we have spoken of that:  from each in accord with their abilities, to each in accord with their needs.  This requires that each of us gives to society the best of what we can give.  In return, collectively, society quarantees that we get what we need.  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?  Who proposes it?  How do we sign up to it?  How do we ensure the right infrastuctures are created to allow society to effectively carry out its end of the bargain?  How do we as individuals find out what our abilities are, train and develop these abilities, and then find some way to apply these abilities to create products and services of benefit to society in meeting the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs of individuals and groups within society.  Clearly, we will need counselors, mentors, teachers, evaluators, job placement agencies ... people who can guide us and help us find out what we are capable of and where we should apply our abilities.

This is getting complex very quickly.  However, there is a sense that innately we already know or can find out how we fit in the context of our world.  We may need some assistance in this from those who have developed their intuition so that they are more directly tied to source, but this is simply a matter of allowing those with such skills to provide their services.  I believe we will find this to be true in all areas of endeavor.  For all services that need to be available to meet the needs of individuals in society, there are already people with the appropriate skills to provide the services.  Further, the supply of such people just happens to be what is needed to provide the services.  In the present economic system, this is masked by gross inefficiencies in how services are distributed to those who need them.  In many cases, we allow insufficient income to get in the way.  In many other cases, belief systems are such that the value of services is highly misconstrued.  In addition, people are attracted to particular jobs and professions not by their natural affinity and talents, but by the income that comes with these jobs and professions.  When you operate in a system that chooses to use each individual effectively, a lot of this inefficiency goes away.  Further, when individuals know that their needs will be met, they don't have to compromise and settle for a jobs that they do not love to do.  Yes, there is a concern that there may be jobs that no one wants to do.  My sense is that these will be far fewer than people might think; and that we can use incentives as necessary to lure people to performing these jobs until we find ways to make machines that can do them.  We should employ our technology in ways that are beneficial to society.

This comes down to the concept of whether there is a plan for the unfoldment of spirit in flesh that is being played out in our world.  This is where the concepts of cycles and Astrological ages comes into play.  By most accounts we are at the junction between the Piscean Age, associated with Christ, Christianity, and the symbol of the fish; and the Aquarian Age, an age of sympathy, peace, understanding, equality, brotherhood, goodwill, harmony, acceptance, tolerance, etc ...  associated with the water bearer.   Astrological ages last approximately 2000 years, making the last transformation during the time of the Roman Empire.  This would have been the transition from the Arian Age ruled by Mars to the Piscean Age with its symbol of the lamb.  Interesting.  It is not clear that the world truly learned the lessons of the Master Teacher Jesus, who ushered in this last age.  It is also not clear who will perform a similar function for this next age ... or even if such a role is necessary.  Perhaps this will be a distributed function, with many wayshowers becoming aware and sharing their light with others in whatever means are available to them.  Perhaps this is part of what I am doing at this very moment.  Water is a good analogy.  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.

Consciousness is the key.  There is a collective consciousness, the ONE consciousness to which we are all connected.  In that sense, what any of us learn becomes available to all of us if we can tap into the appropriate vibrations and access the knowledge/experience.  On the outside, there is much information hiding that goes on ... but on the inside, all is known to the ONE.  In a very real way, the information hiding is nothing but illusion; it is part of ones self keeping another part of ones self in the dark.  This occurs at many levels.  Individuals keep information from themselves consciously through denial and refusing to see what is actually there.  Individuals keep personal information from others for fear of being judged or taken advantage of.  Companies keep information from other companies to maintain a competitive advantage.  Countries keep information away from their citizens and from other countries in the name of national security.  These are but a few examples at a variety of levels.  In the present world, such information hiding seems to have value.  Ultimately, the spiritual principle seems to be that you will be given exactly what you need to know when you need to know it.  In general, information hiding seems to slow down progress.  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.

Government also treats information on a need to know basis.  I'm sure companies do as well.  This reduces the possibility of leaks of information to those one is trying to keep the information from.  One definition of freedom that I heard many years ago is the ability to access and act upon information.  By this definition, even in the United States, our freedom is clearly limited.  There are many questions we can ask to which we cannot get the answers from information that is openly available.  For most of us, this has no real impact, since we don't typically ask such questions.  If we've thought about it at all, we've accepted that this is just the way it is and there is nothing we can really do about it.  Until we reach a collective state where we trust that information will not be used against us, this is not likely to change.  There is a sense, however, that nothing is truly hidden.  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.

It is interesting that I have been moved to share these communications freely with the world via the WWW.  I've had no sense of a need to hold back on sharing what is expressed.  I have no way to know who has a need to know what I share so freely.  My sense is that if they have a need to know, they will find their way to Beyond Imagination and will be interested enough in what they find to focus their attention on reading the material and trying to understand what is presented.  I am still primarily a stream of consciousness writer.  I have no goal in this communication other than allowing consciousness to express through me in flesh.  I am the faithful scribe bringing forth whatever pops into my head.  I have no conscious awareness of being the source.  The whole process is a mystery.  It always has been for me.  Writing just happened naturally.  Not that I didn't do a whole lot of prep work.  Now, the fruits of over 28 years of metaphysical reading, thinking, and study, somehow allow ideas to coellesce in my mind.  It was only 8 years ago that the writings began.  In many ways, that was the beginning of a new life for me ... one in which I am awake and aware in ways that I had not dreamed possible before.  Yes, I had read and thought a lot.  But, I had not truly experienced what I was thinking about until my awakening in 1993.  It took a major breakthrough of getting beyond my mind to find out who I truly was.  But that was only the beginning.  There has been a continual unfoldment of the flower of consciousness in me since that time.  Though, 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.  At least that is what it does for me.  I can only guess that it has this effect on others as well.  Will the writings that come through me move others in this manner?  I can only hope that they will.  Yet, even if they only do this for me ... they will have served their purpose and be worth the energy and time invested in their expression.

Geraldine Stringer, an aura reader, told me in 1994 that I needed to bring the ideas within me forth so that my mind could be free to bring forth the next set and the next set and so on.  She knew there was a backlog waiting to be expressed.  Looking back, it seems that much of this backlog was brought forth by April 1996, when the Beyond Imagination Notes came to a stop.  This was followed by Musings and work on The Search for Center newsletter ... and then a relative dry spell of a few years.  My sense is that I needed that time to regroup and find my Self again.  I'm not sure that I've been successful in this, but I have learned a lot that I am now ready to apply in new ways in my life.  We'll just have to see where the expression leads.  I trust that it will go exactly where it needs to be.  That is one of the benefits of having complete faith in consciousness.  One just knows that what happens is exactly what needs to happen given the conditions at the moment.

I truly love this expression.  This is my natural state.  It is what I am meant to do.  I just know it.  Further, there is nothing that I would rather be doing.  Yes, this is that much fun.  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.

Though, I have resolved to find kindred spirits this year ... and further resolved to find ways in which to work with other to co-create the foundations for building a new world.  At this point, I know not whom this may be called into my life, or what foundations we will work together to create.  If you are moved by these writing and feel connected in any way, do write and introduce yourself to another part of your SELF.  For that is what kindred spirits are, aspects of the same consciousness.  In pursuit of my resolutions, I am beginning to take action ... different actions then I have taken before.  If I want a different outcome than I have experienced before, I need to make different choices and do things in different ways.  So, that is exactly what I intend to do.

I AM THAT I AM THAT YOU ARE!   Be Happy and Create Well!

LOVE,

Wayne
