Musings of a Spiritual Warrior

30 November 1998

It has been awhile since I was last moved to write. Much of my attention is on making connections between virtually everything that is in my world and my experience. It makes for an interesting life. More and more, I am moved to come from the perspective of ONE consciousness. It is as if there is one force, one being doing and experiencing everything. I am but a point of view of that consciousness, observing and experiencing portions of the ONE Self. Everything that I am exposed to, everything that I read, everything that I experience at some level is ME. There is no separation ... though it appears that there is. Even the songs on the radio have taken on new meaning lately.

Yes, a moving viewpoint, that is exactly what I am now. Though, it is quite different being fully aware that this is what I am. Everything takes on new meaning when awareness changes. More and more, my attention is drawn to the big picture and what is occurring on a mass scale. Much of this is revealed in what people are being exposed to in bestsellers, popular movies, and popular TV shows. In many respects, it does indeed seem that spirit is imparting it's messages through these very channels ... sometimes explicitly, but often subtly. It is quite interesting when one thinks about ONE consciousness coordinating ALL of the creative expression that occurs on the planet ... and throughout the universe ... or multiverse for that matter. The immense popularity of the Conversations with God books by Neale Donald Walsh are a specific case in point. I just finished reading Book 3. It was outstanding as were the previous two. The books are among the clearest presentations of the truth about the nature of our being as can be found on the planet. They confirm and are consistent with much that has been expressed here at Beyond Imagination since 1993. Just more evidence that there is truly ONE consciousness expressing through us all.

Just this past week, we saw the final episode of Babylon-5, a show that has been running for 5 years. The basic show was set from 2258 through 2262. The final episode takes us forward in time by another 20 years to 2282, the year when the life force that had been revived by Lorien finally runs out for President Sheridan who in his last moments again meets Lorien and those who are waiting for him "beyond the rim". It is curious because Sheridan specifically asks if he can return ... even via another body or incarnation and is told that he cannot. It is as if he knows too much even though he has many questions and is painfully aware of so much that he doesn't know. Curious indeed! The final part of the show has a decommissioning ceremony for the station after which the station is completely destroyed in a massive explosion since it's mission is completed and now it has become a hazard to other vessels in the region.

A few years ago, we realized that 22:58(88) = 1994. That makes 22:62(88) = 1998. Adding another 20 years brings us to 2018. My sense is that the amount of time given by Lorien to Sheridan was not arbitrary. Someone was moved to set it to that particular amount. That someone was a viewpoint of consciousness expressing in our world. That reminds me. Two months ago, I noticed that the watch ads in magazines have their watches set to nearly the same time. Most of them are set between 10:08 and 10:12, regardless of the brand and model. I found it curious that such is the case.

[Added on 12/2: Just noticed that 2018 is 10:09 x 2, the distance in time that would have been traversed by moving equally forward and past by 10:09]

It is as if consciousness is telling us what time it really is. Actually, if these times are PM, they would be 22:08 to 22:12. In base 88, this would have been 1944 to 1949, the very beginning of our atomic age. WOW!! The sense is that we are stuck in time. We, as a country and as a species, have not yet demonstrated that we can make responsible decisions regarding nuclear weapons. It would be curious to see if this has been the case since the 40's. Did the watch ads of the past several decades have their watches set to the same time? Even more curious, is this something only I would notice? My wife has been reading the magazines with these ads for 40 years and had not noticed. A jewelry store employee of many years that I talked to also had not noticed. He found it interesting that it was true for two posters on his store wall.

I've also been thinking alot about the mechanics of how ONE consciousness could do it all. It really is not that much of an extension of what we already know how to do with video and movies. These provide us with a mechanism for changing our point of view without having to move through anything except time. By presenting images of sufficient resolution at the right refresh rate, we get something that appears to our eyes to be real. There are only slight changes from one image to the next, and we only need the images to be refreshed at 30 cycles per second to appear continuous.

If time is discrete, as it is in our computer simulations, then it is really only an added dimension of space in which possibilities can be played out. The possibilities are just changes. Our experience for the most part amounts to observing changes from our unique viewpoint. We are literally GOD observing Self through us. Many of us rely on our physical senses to supply our viewpoint. This severely limits what can be observed and experienced. Our evolution demands that we find a way to go beyond this and develop the inner connection to source that pervades our very being. It is for us to choose to express whom that we truly are. This requires connecting to intuition and inner direct sources of wisdom that have always been available to us.

In simulations such as video games, we can take as much time as needed to create the possibility space in advance. Then we can play it back in realtime by presenting the known responses fast enough to the game players. In simulations of processes or systems, we can do the same, working out the details and performing necessary calculations offline. Then we can view the simulation at whatever speeds permit us to observe interesting behavior. The world is more complex, but the same basic principles apply. We are truly at a point where our technology is reaching a stage where it allows us to observe what we are as consciousness, in a way that could not be done without it. However, we need to make a leap ... a leap of perspective ... and start to focus on understanding whom that we truly are and choosing to be that. We need to truly see the UNITY amidst the diversity, and the ONENESS that underlies all consciousness.

As another example, while my wife was away on a two week trip, I found myself in an intense altered state of awareness. Everything in our house became infused with meaning. The furniture, all our belongings, the pictures, the plants ... all had deep connections to our lives, to the times and states of consciousness when they had been acquired. Even more important, was the relative spatial arrangement within our present house, and especially the play of light off the mirrors and reflective surfaces. There was a sense that everything was exactly where it was supposed to be to allow me to observe exactly what I was now seeing. Nearly everything had been positioned by my wife. She did all of the decorating and much of the acquiring of the things in the house. I helped with a few things, and jointly helped with some of the key furniture pieces. However, here I was seeing for the first time not that there were a lot of nice things and that the arrangement was beautiful. Rather, I was seeing the spirit expressed through my wife so naturally. Not just the results of the expression, but the essense of the expression. It is hard to describe in words. Just as these words, and the words at the Beyond Imagination site are the expression of spirit through me ... our house is the physical expression of spirit through Gini. She is in touch with source in a way that allows her to create perfection in the arrangement of things. I have an eye that is able to recognize the simplicity and beauty of this, but not to create it.

On my way to my room tonight, I heard the song The Power of Love by Celine Dion in a way that I had never heard it before. Literally, the meaning was different. I realized that at a higher level, when Celine sings "I am your lady and you are my man" and "whenever you reach for me, I'll do all that I can" for me, she is speaking as if she were consciousness herself. That is the only way the song can truly make sense. It is for male and female to complete one another. Yet, my completion cannot be another individuated consciousness ... it is all that is NOT ME. For both males and females, this is that part of the individuated consciousness that balances one's own; in fact, it is one's very soul.

This can be reflected back and experienced with a physical mate, but it cannot be demanded or even expected for that matter. Love is unconditional and places no such demands. Its only prerequisite for couples is the desire to be in the full presence of one another. This can be very tough to do ... hence seems to rarely occur.

LOVE,

Wayne
