OK, so there is quantity. But, what about the quality? How do we compare what is expressed under Beyond Imagination to what is expressed elsewhere? I have no answer to that. In all of my readings, I have not encountered anything similar. That does not make this better or worse, just different. In my world, different is good. In fact, very good. I choose to be unlike others ... unlike the herd ... unlike the crowd. You might say that I live in a world of my own making. However, this is true for each of us to various degrees anyway. While I am different, I am not independent ... or I choose not to be. My preference is to be interdependent, and cooperatively so. That is the way that we are meant to live collectively. The whole is comprised of the interdependent operation of the parts. In the case of society, the parts are the individual members, and the organizations that they belong to, comprise, and support. We typically don't think in terms of social structures needing to serve us. Yet, in a healthy civilization, that is exactly what they should do. To date, we have set up the rules of the game so that these structures become bureaucracies and entities of their own that are as interested in self-preservation and self-grandisement as they are in being of service. There is something wrong with this. And, it has to stop. The disease is killing us. We simply can't let that happen. A line from a movie comes to mind "We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take this anymore." That may be what it takes to make the killing stop.
Speaking of killing, the war on terrorism gets uglier and uglier as it consumes more and more resources ... resources that could be far better expended in areas that might truly improve society. Yet, who has the power to "just say no" ... to say we will not tolerate war as a means for resolving differences. Besides, it doesn't seems to be working anyway. At what point do we say enough is enough and just walk away? "We are a part of ONE world, we all will share the same dream, if we reach down inside we'll find I'm just like you" played in the background just now. Synchronicities. I don't remember watching (or listening) to PBS for quite some time. Yet, tonight, it seems the perfect background to this expression. If the song writers can get these kinds of songs out to the masses ... and what beautiful songs they are, then the time is ripe for the mass consciousness to change. We are collectively opening our world to some new possibilities. We are raising our vibrational level to new highs ... highs that allow us to create a whole new world, one in which those without the proper operating mentality will have no part. There is a graduation process going on. Those ready to move on to the next level will do so. Those not ready will be assisted and/or allowed to progress in accord with their awareness. When this "graduation" will occur remains to be seen. It will happen when the time is right. It will happen when we collectively decide to make it happen. The evolution of consciousness, of spirit expressed in flesh, will continue. And, it will be glorious indeed.
How is terror any different than cancer in a world that is ONE? Terror spreads via hate and fear. Terror is the act of a small group striking out to hurt or kill a larger group. "If you can't imagine change, then there cannot be change". I just heard that. What does it take to get the terror to stop? How do we teach everyone to be tolerant of others ways and beliefs? How do we get people to realize that their way is one way out of many, not the way? If we can create an abundant world, where everyone has their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs addressed ... many problems melt away. Einstein said something about not being able to solve a problem at the level responsible for creating the problem. We have to go above that level. We have to invoke other dimensions or other realms. But we need to do so in a positive manner and not replicate our present problems in those new realms. The principle of do what you want so long as you keep it in your own backyard comes to mind. But that works in an independent world, not in an interdependent one such as ours. There are already many things that stretch into our neighbor countries yards ... the economy, the ecology, pollution, and nuclear proliferation come to mind.
Who am I to go on an on like this? The bottom line is noone and everyone. Here, consciousness herself is given voice ... through me, not by me. There is no name that consciousness has given for herself, other than the source within. Does everyone have such a source within? My sense is yes, but it will express through you in ways that are unique to you. It will express naturally through your strengths, through your most creative abilities. For me, that just happens to be the written word. Hopefully, that is obvious by now. Indeed, if you are still reading this expression, that must be so. For those who resonate with what is expressed here, do take the time to write and introduce yourself. I'm still looking for kindred spirits with whom to enter into cooperative projects to build the foundations for a new world. There is only so much that I can do by myself. The power of joint endeavors goes up exponentially with the number of participants. What we can do collectively is truly Beyond Imagination. Though, imagination is a powerful tool as well.
How do I do this for a living rather than as a hobby? How do I fully engage in tasks that truly utilize my abilities and talents ... tasks that I can engage in with all of my heart, and mind, and soul? That is what I desire now! I am not willing to tolerate leading a life of mediocrity. I am not willing to tolerate boredom. I am not willing to sacrifice my life any longer. Yet, I do not know what that means in terms of what specifically to do. There is still a need for a substantial income to pay all of the bills each month. Simplify your life comes to mind. Remove those things that are not necessary or life supporting. There is also a strong sense that what I do here is important ... so important that it should be sufficient to meet my needs. This is what I love to do. This, and engaging in correspondence with like-minded others and kindred spirits. The Beyond Imagination books in 2003 were an attempt to get the works out to the world in a manner that provided an income to carry on the Beyond Imagination work. However, only a couple of handfuls of books were ever sold. They can still be purchased from Infinity Publishing by following the links from the Beyond Imagination Main Page. Infinity Publishing seemed to be perfect at the time. Though, I've put no effort into marketing the books other than a couple web pages at Beyond Imagination. Perhaps that is part of the problem. I was moved to build it, but they never did come. This is true overall for the Beyond Imagination web site as well. From the beginning in 1993, I knew this material was meant to be shared. By mid 1995, I had already posted material on the WWW. Now, there are probably over 4 Million words posted on literally thousands of pages. Much of this is available in 9 books.
