Ever in search of the experience of the unknown. No, I am not a thrill seeker, except for the thrills of engaging my consciousness in new ways of thinking and being. I am the 48:Eight of Cups, the Man in Search of More. The five cups of the senses and the three cups of the mind are not enough for me. I know that there is more, much more, and I will do whatever it takes to experience that moreness. I desire to do this via relationships with others as well ... now more than at any other time in my life. Whether this will come to pass remains to be seen. Until then, I will continue to do as I am moved to do. That includes continue to allow the body of works that constitutes this expression to grow. I just about said "grow and prosper". For indeed, it should allow me to prosper so that I have a bigger basis of resources from which to exert change. What makes me deserving of this? That is an interesting question. If I do not feel deserving enough, then the abundance simply cannot manifest. And, that, is unacceptable. It is counter to everything that I know about spiritual law.
So, where do we go next? What do we do next? What do we think next? The answer to all of these is similar: we go where we are moved to go, we do what we are moved to do, we think what we are moved to think. It is that simple. But, it is also that complex. How do we know what we are moved to do until we see ourselves doing it? How do we know what we are moved to think until we see the thoughts cross our minds? What would we dream? What is the grandest vision of a new society and a new world that we can imagine? Then take it a whole other step. That is what Beyond Imagination is all about. This record of where one consciousness has been is meant to be a vehicle for you to have a similar adventure in consciousness. You don't have to start from a blank slate. You can follow source as it expressed through me until you find your own source within. It seems that each of us have such a source. It is a matter of finding it and allowing it to express through us in whatever way is natural for it.
I know that I do not want to be here in this working environment for too much longer. I would prefer not to have to commute anymore. I've been doing this for over 16 years. Enough is enough. I know that there are ways to make a living that don't require sacrificing ones life. What I don't know is where to look for and find such opportunities. Just realizing this is a major start. The desire to change alone is enough to set the wheels of change in motion. Sometimes the wheels grind slowly. At other times they move at a far more rapid pace. Do it! Just do it! What am I waiting for? I don't need permission. It is a matter of taking charge of my life and not accepting anything less than what is aligned to whom that I AM. I choose to live a life of passion ... even if it is only the passion of spiritual expression. I am no longer willing to tolerate boredom in my life. Though, there does seem to be some utility in taking naps and retiring from the concensus world. However, that only works to some degree. After that, it becomes wasteful of the time that I do have here. Then again, time and space are illusory. We live in nowhere = now here and no time = not I me = the realization that now and here what is "not I" is me.
It is interesting how simple plays on words can result in deep meaning being revealed. Yet, the more I play in this way, the more that I find. It is easy work overall. I just follow the stream of consciousness and allow it to take me where it will. It seems that I am an integral part of this. My attention and focus seems to somehow "control" the overall direction of the stream. Not that I know specifically or even generally where it is going consciously. There is just a sense that without me, this could not come forth as it does. That makes it a unique creative expression. That makes it worthy of an audience of some type. Surely, all of this expression is meant for more than me to see. Yet, to date, it has attracted few. Why is that? Is there something else that I should be doing to broadcast these works? I thought that posting them to the WWW would be enough. But nearly a dozen years seems to have proved me wrong. Perhaps I am still too attached to an outcome here. What will be will be. I can accept that. It is a matter of making the most of my life in whatever circumstances I find myself ... knowing full well that I attracted these very circumstances to me. That is how reality creation works. We are active participants. We are creators all.
Be yourself! Live to the highest vision of yourself that you are
capable of imagining. As you do that, you will impact your world
in the grandest manner that you can. Impacting the world is a good
thing. Spirit expresses to have impact. Creation is all about
impact. That does not necessarily mean that you have to impose your
will on others ... even if it is goodwill. We can have an impact
via the example that we provide to others. The way that we live our
life is our greatest example. It is not so much what we say that
matters, but what we do.
LOVE,
