Time marches onward, as does the neverending march of consciousness expressing in flesh. Ever forward to new and more creative expression. And, here I am; an active participant in the game, fulfilling the role that I am destined to fulfill. Yes, destined. It is written in so many ways in the symbols that I am associated with ... my name, my birthdate and time (and the positions of Astrological bodies in the heavens), my aura, key numbers in my life, and even numbers that I am moved to notice and interpret. 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. Yes, to some degree, everone does this. However, most do not see meaning in the kinds of things that I pay attention to. Nor is there any sense that they should. I do what I must do. I trust that others are doing what they must do. These do not have to be the same ... nor do they have to be consistent or have any similarity at all. 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. This is heavily impacted by what they know and what they fear. Indeed, if there were one thing that we could do to make the world a better place, it would be to eliminate fear and to replace it with trust and love. That doesn't necessarily mean all fear ... as there should be a healthy respect for some of the accepted limitations of the world. However, it does mean most fear, since fear often keeps us from doing the things that would be best for us and all concerned. 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.
"No limits Jonathan, no limits. Ultimate speed is just being there." from Jonathan Livingston Seagall by Richard Bach. I'm sure the words are not correct, but the idea is. There is a sense that all limits are self-imposed. Some, it seems that we accept in order to express in physical form. However, the emotional, mental, and spiritual constructs are much more open. These are largely a matter of beliefs. In this area we are free, truly free to create whatever structures serve us and serve society. This is where the no limits concept fits in. Any limits in these areas of our lives are there because we have accepted them. This may not have been by free choice. They may have entered through instruction in church and school or through our families via instruction or demonstration. Many have entered through interactions with peers. Many others have entered via advertising and messages from the mass media, via television, movies, lyrics from popular music, magazines, newpapers, and books. The programming is everywhere. It takes a great deal of effort to overcome it and truly become a freethinker. But this is what is necessary if we would be whom that we are and not what others have made us to be and expect us to be.
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.
Freedom comes with obligations and responsibilities. Actually, so does life. It is curious that President Bush made this a key element of his State of the Union Address last night. It will be interesting to see how people are moved to act differently in response to his call for action. We have seen people demonstrate much more care and support for one another in the months since 9/11, heroically in many cases. The question is can this continue and become a way of life in not only this country but also the world? My sense is yes, that people have touched a place within themselves that they may not have known existed. This experience moved them in ways that are one way transformations of consciousness. Because of this, there will be no reverting back to the prior status quo. The world is different now, in a very real way. It has gone through a paradigm shift in which people realized that they need to work and fight together against a common enemy ... terrorism, a threat to freedom itself. It is interesting that terrorism is primarily a method that employs fear to express its message.
We need to go through a similar paradigm shift, not out of fear, but out of the promise of what can be ... a paradigm shift that has us choosing to cooperate out of a sense of compassion and caring for one another. Through such cooperation, we collectively can achieve great things, not only for the nation or for society; but things that make the conditions of life much better for us as individuals as well. 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. This may be a benefit that applies to a small group or even to an individual. At the other end of the spectrum it may benefit the entire world. Who is to say which benefit will have the most impact in the long term. The individual benefit may be the key that allows that individual to realize her potential and be able to contribute to the world on a massive scale. We need to trust that there is an order to things that happen in the world. 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. Part of this is the unfoldment of our own consciousness as individuals. This is a very important part ... perhaps the most important part. The whole purpose of existence is the expression of spirit in flesh. The world is the playground for this expression.
Looking at the filename, I write the date as YMMDD = 20130. This comes across as 2 followed by 13:Death surrounded by 0 = source. This is to the death. The natural question is of what? The first response that came to mind was of everything. This sent shivers down my spine and throughout my body. This brings to mind the 64:Ten of Swords card, with the man lying face down on the ground with ten swords stuck into his back. I've always associated this with renouncing my will for thy will. Death to me is a major transformation of consciousness, not a physical death. It is curious that the 13 would have 0:source to each side. This would suggest that there is nothing left but the will of spirit herself. Yes, I still experience consciousness and spirit in the feminine. I don't know whether this is because it balances my male nature in this existence, or because the part of source that I tap has this character.
Community and society are still in the forefront of my thoughts. There was a book called Society of Mind that I believe came from Marvin Minsky of MIT. To date, that is the primary society I have experienced. I am aware of myself as plural, composed of parts that cooperate and work together most of the time, but that are at odds some of the time. Much happens beneath the scenes however, at levels at which I am not consciously aware. For the most part, this is good because the natural functioning of these parts is fine. However, there is a sense that some part of this should be made more conscious. It has been several years since I explored this area. Actually, that is not quite correct ... I have been observing the functioning of various parts of my mind all along. However, it was out of natural interest, and not a focussed or intended study. Now, I am moved to take a more active role once again. It is time to find more of myself, in particular those parts of myself that correspond to others in my life and in my world. That is the part of society that I have been missing. The sense is that I need to do things differently to find this. It is time to embark on a journey into the world of relationships. Yes, they will be relationships with strong metaphysical and spiritual interests as a basis. I'm not likely to fundamentally change my nature. Then again, I could surprise myself. I have before ... on several occasions. This seems to correspond with Neptune reaching my seventh house and starting to traverse the upper half of my chart. Uranus is doing that as well. I'm very much moved by Aquarian energy at this time. The composite chart with my wife has many planets in Aquarius in the 9th house. The period from 22 Jan through 22 Feb each year is a time when the Sun and other planets often pass through Aquarius activating this energy. Other than my relationship with self, my relationship with my wife is of the greatest importance in my life. We give each other room to be ourselves. We both have a strong distaste for authority. We both have an extreme interest in metaphysics. This was what brought us together to begin with back in 1987. However, we live very separate lives. I only see her on weekends, leaving each week to live and work over 120 miles away.
In many ways, my world is very much a world of one. I'm very quiet overall. I do not speak with others very much. What "speaking" I do, is here on these pages for whomever would find these words expressed. Through reading the works at my site, you can find out more about me than all but a handful of people know. Through my works, I reveal whom that I AM in ways that I would like to see occur in relationships with people. Effectively, I reveal my relationship with self and with spirit or consciousness. My hope is that in doing so, I allow you to experience thoughts and frames of mind that while foreign are both interesting and beneficial to you. I encourage feedback and invite communication. However, in the seven years that the Beyond Imagination site has been in existence, the feedback has been sparse at best. I can tell from a few page counters that people are reaching the site. But, I cannot know what they are taking away from it. The feedback that I have received has been very positive overall. The works that have flowed forth through me are indeed having impact on the world. Reality Creation 1010 seems to be one of the most visited works. It was particularly special in that it came forth in ten days.
There is a sense that it is time for more such works. Though, there is nothing I am aware of at present that is ready to be brought forth. This hasn't stopped me in the past. And clearly, it hasn't stopped me this month in particular. I've been moved to find the time to express every day since the new year began. How long this will continue, I do not know. Thus far it has consumed nearly a hundred hours of my free time this year. That is 2.5 percent of the 4000 lifetime hours that President Bush called for us to give in service to our society. At this rate, I will have volunteered 4000 hours in less than 4 years. This service to spirit is close to a halftime job for me. And yes, I consider this expression as an obligation that I owe to society. It doesn't matter whether others are volunteering in the same manner. I must do what I must do. However, it is good to see that others ... and maybe many others are being called to serve as well.
Who determines whether what we are volunteering to do constitutes service to society? This is something we must do for ourselves. We know when we are operating in our own interest versus operating in the interests of others. Sometimes the two can occur simultaneously. Time spent to better ourselves and learn skills that can be used to help others counts toward this obligation. As our awareness increases, we simply know what is right and know what is for us to do. Further, we take action and choose to do our spiritual work ... our volunteer jobs. We realize that there are things we are meant to do in this existence and we take responsibility and do them.
There is a sense that I am here to do something that no one else can do in the same way. However, it is up to me to recognize what this is and choose to apply my talent, energy, resources, and time in accomplishing it. So far, it is this expression of spirit that appears to be what I am here to do. Yes, I hold down a regular job as a systems engineer and perform it well. But, it is this expression that excites and animates me. It is here that I can let my hair down and express whom that I am as I can nowhere else. It is here that I can demonstrate how spirit can express in flesh. The question is demonstrate for whom? At this point, it does not matter. Those whom are meant to find this expression will be led to it either through others or through their own search efforts. Whether one or one hundred or one hundred thousand reach this expression matters not. The fact that I was able to express in this manner and share of whom that I am, is sufficient. The fact that this expression didn't stay in my mind but was written down and posted to the world on the WWW made this expression tangible and real.
My interests are confined to very narrow areas ... primarily metaphysics, the nature of reality and reality creation, the nature of consciousness, and the expression of spirit in flesh. Actually, these are very big areas to be interested in, areas that have major impact to both individuals as well as society and even the entire world. These have been my primary interests since 1974, but it wasn't until 1993 that I was knowledgeable enough and moved enough to become an information generator as a scribe for the source consciousness within me. It was as if a switch was thrown on 5 March 1993, and I was able to express my own light rather than regurgitate what I had read and studied from others. Interesting, 1993 was another 22 year. The light has continued to shine since that time, sometimes more brightly and sometimes less. Twice since that time I have crossed the border of what constitutes sanity in the conventional reality. In hindsight, these experiences were necessary to break down my belief system and enable me to become more aware of whom that I am. These experiences also allowed me to gain a better understanding of the nature of reality and reality creation.
Now, I have a strong sense that I am to work together with others on cooperative endeavors. Exactly what these are to be remains to be seen. Much of my paid work is done behind the scenes. It supports others in many ways, but it does not stand on its own. While highly individual, I am a team player ... taking responsibility and contributing wherever I can. This expression is pretty much the same. It comes from the introvert finding new ways to do things and new ways to express information. In both work and this expression, I allow my intuition a wide berth, trusting that the source within will come through with exactly what is needed efficiently and effectively.
What is right for me is not necessarily right for others. Each of us must look within and tap the source within us to provide direction in our lives. It seems that many never take the time and expend the effort to do this. Perhaps that is because they are not ready for this level of awareness in their lives. That is OK. Each of us express spirit to whatever degree that we can here and now. Whatever degree that is, is right. It is not for us to sit in judgment of others. The spirit within will do the judgement of its own accord and this will be right, since nothing is hidden from it.
I AM THAT I AM THAT YOU ARE! Be Happy and Create Well!
LOVE,
