Wow ... it seems like forever since I last felt moved to write. Today marks a special anniversary for me. Five years ago on this very day I experienced a massive shift in consciousness that led to a 10 day stay in a mental hospital. Can it be that long ago? In some ways it feels as if it were yesterday. In many ways, I was born on that day ... at least the "I" that is here now. Though, that I has had it's own shifts of consciousness to deal with as well.

There is an air of anticipation around me. It feels as if I'm ready to embark on a new journey and that the departure time is immanent. Yet, I am still very much alone on my path. Will it always be thus? Is this the very nature of whom that I AM expressing in the world? Hmm ... Can the ONE be anything but al(l)one. Hmm ... There is a sense that I am seeing exactly what I am looking for. If I want to see something different, I must somehow "look" in a new way. Interesting. So that is what some of my recent observations have been about. Within the past few weeks, I've started to see the world through a new set of eyes and the corresponding new set of mental filters that go with them. Everything has taken on new meaning at a different level of representation.

The past few days I've been moved to re-examine my life to date to understand the deeper meaning behind what I experienced and how I experienced. The sense was that the review was necessary to come to closure so that I could proceed. There was a sense that the cleansing fire of spirit is about to consume me and that I needed to somehow come to an understanding of all that is about to be burned away. As I write this, I feel ready for this process. On the show Babylon-5, Delenn restored the rightful government of her people away from the warrior class by being able to enter a circle of spiritual light. This was the test of her spiritual purity and worthiness of leading her people. It was curious that she chose to leave the job of rulership to a council of nine: 2 warrior, 2 religious, 5 worker. Formerly this had been 3-3-3 with the religious and warrior classes having differences that resulted in civil war. In changing the constitution of the council, Delenn made both the warrior and religious classes subservient to the workers.

This highlights a key transformation -- the need to switch from control to serve. This is a quantum shift in how one looks at the world. Government should serve the people. Religion should serve the people. The economic system should serve the people. But, what does it truly mean to serve? To me it means to help / facilitate meeting the needs of the people who are being served. To do this, you must (1) understand what the needs are, (2) have the ability to help, and (3) have a means to make the services available to those who need them.

Be Happy and Create Well!
