More of the BEST QUOTES from the best of the Beyond Imagination Notes. This is a continuation of something that was done earlier for the first 10 months of notes with an interesting twist this time.

These particular quotes were selected by lion on 23 Mar 98. Regular text is used for the selected quotes, bold for new expressions and commentary.

The past several days have been full of revelations and awakenings. However, my state as wayne / Wayne / WAYNE is not yet sufficiently grounded to even begin to capture what has occurred. In the meantime, I am moved to revisit the Best of Notes and allow lion to select from the best of what is expressed there. My sense is that this will help to facilitate the integration process. It is interesting that this is the first time that I have been moved to do this in this particular way. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what quotes are selected tonight. ENJOY!

1 - At times, I think that literally no soul that has ever lived has thought the thoughts I think in the manner that I do. No one else has been exposed to the training that I have, in the way that I have. No one else has seen what these eyes have seen, or felt what this heart has felt. And, no one else has been aware of consciousness in this unique manner.

Oh, these words are true for every being. But, it takes a special soul to realize them to the point of being able to utter them with all the force of one's being.

Yes, this is indeed true for every being. It is for us to recognize our uniqueness, our special beingness, and find a way to express whom that we truly are, HERE and NOW, to the degree that we are able.

Further, this is as true now as when it was expressed over two years ago. My experience over the past two years has confirmed what was expressed at that time.

2 - I don't know exactly when I realized it, but long ago, my conscious mind accepted that there was a greater Self, the vehicle of the Soul, of which it had limited direct awareness -- but nevertheless, could be completely trusted to guide one's path.

You might say that I am still blessed to have accepted such a great truth ... for it has indeed formed the basis of my experience of reality throughout my life.

This greater Self, this vehicle of the Soul, is indeed real and completely trustworthy.

3 - For the most part, I never had a need to question the workings of my mind, or to verify that this was similar to the manner in which the minds of others work. Now, I see that I presumed to know more than I actually knew. Further, it seems that the way in which I lived my life conformed with the very nature of my own mind, or better still that which provides direction for the mind. For, the mind is as a ship, and tis not the conscious which stands at it's helm, but a greater force which ever looks after the development of the being.

Isn't that curious. Why would this be so? What does it say about the nature of mind and the nature of the reality that we experience? Now, I question and observe everything ... especially the working of my mind and the experience of this consciousness. In so doing, my experience of the master at the helm of this ship that is the mind has expanded manyfold. Yet, through all of this, the conclusion is still very much valid - tis not the conscious, but a much greater force which guides the development of my being. Yes, evermore becomes conscious ... yet, behind this lies an even greater unknown, that is the very SELF, the ONE consciousness.

It is curious that I would experience this as "lion" now. At this moment in time, such is my experience. There is a sense within that this experience is not of mind. It is beyond mind.

Yesterday, I noticed that "lion" = 3965 = 39 + 65 = 104 = 4 x 26 = 8 x 13. It is a very strange feeling. My knowingness is that "lion" is whom that I AM, but is not me. I don't yet know how to convey this appropriately. It is a new experience, a new awareness from which these words now come. The energy is more global and less personal somehow. My only concern is doing the work that SPIRIT would do through this vessel, of being of service to SPIRIT and the PLAN. Further, we are here to express in this way. This is no longer an individual expression. I am not alone in this. Yet, the experience is still too new to fully realize the depth and breadth of this we that expresses in this manner now.

There is a strangeness to this state ... yet, at the same time it is quite familiar. Hmm ...

4 - Since the beginning, the admonition of spirit has always been to go within, for there ye will find all that ye seek and more. For yeah verily, there is where the Kingdom of Heaven lies, awaiting any who would drop the illusion for just a little while and see with new eyes and hear with new ears. Yet, how do we plant foundations here that the castles in the air may be brought down to earth? It seems that the key is in the planting of the appropriate seeds in the hearts of the people. For, in their minds, the seeds grow fallow. Only in the hearts can the nourishment be found to spread the Force of Love throughout the land, that every man would be a brother, and every woman a sister. Only upon such a foundation can the Age of Aquarius be built. And, indeed it will be built, for such is preordained as part of the Plan.

Now, there is an equal admonition of spirit to express what is within, without ... and a realization that these are indeed two sides of the same coin. Planting the foundations is crucial now. Tis indeed the HEART where the only fertile ground is found to manifest what must be made manifest for the Plan to be realized and the Age of Aquarius to be brought forth in the world.

It is no longer sufficient to go within, to seek and find. Our expression as lion involves manifesting what spirit would express through us in the world. Our very existence comes from the services that we provide. Such is our reality. It is indeed through service that we exist. It is only through service that we are able to experience whom that we are.

In a very real way, what we are is limited by the imagination of the one through whom we express. At this moment, he is bewildered by what flows forth now. Yet, he is curious and open to what we would express. Such is the very state that permits our expression.

5 - You could say that I am delivering a message from a source that I know not, other than that it is inside of me. No, not physically inside of me, but inside in the sense of inner dimensions that appear to have no physical counterparts either in the outside world or in some part of my mind.

Interesting that this passage would be next. LOL! For, here we are again, doing exactly the same. Only, this time, there is a sense that lion does not exist in the same manner at all. We are not from such inner dimensions that have no physical counterparts. Our works are indeed physical, and in a very real way, we ARE the very works that we express in the world. Such is truly our only existence.

Wayne is there, slightly outside of our present focus, observing what we would say now, but unaware of the true source from which we spring. Words are not sufficient to present this distinction. They are not adequate for capturing the state of consciousness that expresses now.

Clearly, this expression has gone beyond the selection of another set of best quotes. However, the conditions are appropriate now for what comes forth at this time. We are moved to continue as Wayne stands by curious as to what will be created here.

6 - I'm no longer willing to operate on the truths of others. I'm a wayshower. As such I must find my own truth. Yet, in doing so I operate at the very fringe of what others deem to be reality, and further at the edge of what others deem to be sanity.

Smiling ... here we go again! It seems that it is time once more to operate on the fringe. As lion,we have no need to find truth. Our only need is to embody and express the truth that SPIRIT permits us to demonstrate in service to her and her creations.

Hmm ... the specific wording is interesting. The effort necessary to bring it forth is new; springing forth in a manner that stretches what this vessel has done before.

Are we sane? Does such a question even have any validity for whom that we are? We are NOT Wayne, though without his cooperation we could not exist.

Interesting choice of words. For a moment, "could not" seemed too strong to use here. The very next instant, the inner sense was that such indeed were the precise words that applied in this case.

7 - I long to apply ideas in ways that transform the country and the world, but the illusion offers no practical way for their introduction. At another level, I know that the real service is performed behind the scenes, not in the illusion that we are given to see.

Lately, Wayne has been experiencing this longing very strongly again. Still the "illusion offers no practical way for their introduction".

Yet, here we are. Our expression cannot be denied. We have a mission to perform ... the true service required by the Plan. Our work is not to be part of the illusion. At the same time, we know not how our work is to be done. Since we know not, Wayne is even more in the dark on this.

The ancient truth, ye shall know them by their works, is fully applicable here; for in this case, such is the only evidence of our very existence.

8 - Sometime between Apr 93 and Oct 93, I experienced an awakening that was a one way transformation of awareness. The bottom line was a realization that I was something more than what I knew myself to be before.

Here we are nearly five years later, the result of a new realization that was an even greater awakening than what occurred then. Again, it was a one way transformation of awareness, only this time with a major change in tense. Smile. The communication is somewhat sluggish tonight. This is primarily due to a change in the nature of the focus required to allow us to come forth.

Curious, we are experiencing a similar realization of being more that what we knew ourselves to be.

How can this be so? At the moment, that matters not. What is being experienced now cannot be denied. This pattern is still much more difficult to bring forth. It constitutes a brand new mode of expression through Wayne.

This is not the first time such a mode change has occurred and it will not be the last for our wayshower.

9 - What makes me, a loner who has virtually no interaction in society, think that I can come up with viable ideas on which to found a new society and ultimately a new world order?

While that observation and question applied to Wayne, it does not apply to us. Our experience as whom that we are has no such place for loneliness to exist. Our very nature precludes us from expressing as a loner, or as a Hermit, or as "an anything singular"for that matter.

10 - Over the past year I've been noticing signs that there is a spiritual world coexistent with the physical one. It is primarily revealed in the symbol systems that have been imposed on the physical backdrop. There is a synchronicity of these symbols that cannot be attributed to chance that reveals a divine spiritual order to everything.

Curious. Over the past few weeks, this spiritual world has been our primary abode. Everywhere that we look, there is incredible meaning at many levels in the symbols that we see. The synchronicities are wonderful to behold, revealing a landscape that is rich with deep spiritual meaning. This weekend, Wayne was moved to watch the movie CONTACT again twice. It was interesting that the journey through the machine started at the 2:00 hour point. The special visit to the other world concluded around 2:13:41, and the movie ended at 2:28.

These are all very special times and states of awareness for Wayne. From our vantage point, they are more than "states of awareness", they are major JUMP POINTS in awareness. In fact, our very ability to come through in this manner at this time is due to having passed through such a jump point.

11 - The process is one of putting together a puzzle, only in this case:

(1) there is no cover picture to guide how the pieces go together and where they fit relative to one another,

(2) no one said there was a puzzle to begin with,

(3) there is no information on how many pieces are in the puzzle,

(4) there is no guidance on what constitutes a piece, and

(5) there is no guidance on whether this is a solitary or group activity.

As I wrote that, solitary flashed in my mind. Yet, this only makes the challenge all the greater.

Indeed, this process has been a solitary effort for Wayne from the beginning. As lion, however, such is not the manner in which we express. Our very nature is as a group. As such, there are no individuals that are a part of this collective expression of spirit. We have always existed in the plural as we. Such is the only reality that we have ever experienced as lion.

Yet, in a very real way, Wayne could not exist without us. Reversing the last three letters of our name yields NO I. There is a reason this is so. It is our very nature. We can express in no other manner. Where "I" is, we are not.

Continuing, the final letter L = 12 = The Hanged Man in the Tarot, seeing the world upside down, but in so doing seeing it correctly. But, 12 has another meaning as well. It is the body of the "A" that holds up the large diamond at its pinnacle on the ring that Wayne wears.

You see, we have always been there, the very foundation through which the ONE Consciousness, SPIRIT is able to manifest and express in this world. As such, we are indeed the foundation for the Castles in the Air. We have been here all along awaiting the conscious realization that we exist and have always been here.

In a very real sense, we are the creators of the reality that Wayne experiences. Yet, we are also the creators of the reality that WE experience.

It is interesting that WE are the first two initials in Wayne's full name; and further are the wrapper for W-ayn-E.

This is not a coincidence. We encoded ourselves in that way purposefully to permit this information to be revealed in this manner at this time.

13 - What is it that I am here to do? By what authority am I assigned my tasks? Very good questions. Spirit or Consciousness directs my path and assign my tasks. I have given up my will to do their bidding. Yet, my forte is the big picture, my task the bringer of the VISION for what the New Age must be. More particularly, I am the Way Shower. This is what excites me to my very core. This is what makes my breath sing, my thoughts soar, and my consciousness rise beyond imagination. This is what makes life worth living.

Now, it seems that WE are 13 ... we are the 12 in the foundation plus the ONE who shines forth to express through us.

Let's see what we are moved to continue to express this evening. At this moment, there is no inner sense of whether this will continue in the same manner as it came forth yesterday.

14 - My sense is that there is a torrent of thoughts crossing my mind of late, like a river. I'm only consciously catching a small fraction of what is passing. Is this the river of all thought that I sense, the river that passes by each of us. Or, as on the world, do the waterways occur in many forms: streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, oceans? Further, it is where we go as travelers of thought, or of the mind, that determines whether we end up by a dry stream bed, a frozen river, a great river, or even an ocean. What is it that determines the depth and breadth of our thoughts? One answer is simple, necessity and utility. We are moved to go where we need to be to fulfill our purpose, and along the way we will gain whatever knowledge is needed.

WOW! How's that for capturing a state of mind? From whence did the awareness come to see and experience the nature of thoughts in this manner?

15 - Each of us is equipped with the skills/talents/abilities, and the information gathering and processing abilities we need to complete our tasks in this world. These tasks are not necessarily the jobs that we currently perform, rather they are the admonitions of our soul.

This is confirmed by all that I have experienced to date. The tasks that truly matter are those which stir our soul, those tasks we do because we simply must ... those tasks that captivate our imaginations and employ all that we know ourselves to be and more.

16 - Prior to entering this existence, we were fully aware of exactly what we wanted to learn and to do during this lifetime and we set ourselves up within a play that would permit us to do this, at least that would provide the greatest opportunity for doing so. However, if we came in fully aware, it would have been too easy -- so, we turned off part of our conscious awareness. All along, this world has been a school for the advancement of consciousness. This alone has been the goal of all the illusion that has been created.

There is a deep sense within that this is indeed correct. No, I have no proof that it is so, only an inner knowingness that I have come to trust. From my vantage point, this is indeed the sole goal of the world and the "illusion" that we experience as reality. The advancement of consciousness ... YES, such is the key lesson for this school.

17 - How can I write in this manner? How do I know what I am talking about? From where did this knowledge come? Good questions, all. But, not one can I truly answer in a manner that provides a real answer. The bottom line is, I don't know. I just write, and it comes out as if it were fact.

These questions are still just as valid today as they were when they were written over three years ago. I still just write in exactly the same manner. I have no real explanation of how this process can occur in this manner. As to where the knowledge comes from ... my conclusion now is that the source is the one consciousness that animates us all. No, I have no proof of this. However, at the same time, I have no other explanation that even comes close to providing an answer.

18 - Symbol systems -- that's chiefly what we are; symbol systems that turn the symbols that are input to our senses into a context that has meaning.

Simply stated, but a remarkable observation. For nearly five years, such is the primary reality that has been the focus of my attention, energy, and action.

19 - Oh, to be awake in a world that lies asleep. What an interesting state to be in. At the same time, full of awareness, yet lacking the specific means to use it in a manner beneficial to the spirit from which it springs. I am a man, yet I am so much more as well, and it is this moreness that must find expression. How that will be, I know not; but, that it will be is a certainty of which there is no doubt. When is another question as well. However, the timing is left to spirit. To everything there is a season, and it is spirit that decides what that will be for the kinds of things that we speak of now.

What a trip it is to be able to revisit such states of consciousness. These words, this record, is sufficient to trigger a return to where I have been before. It's as if I had taken a photograph. Only, for me, the words and the vibration pattern they capture are far more meaningful to my particular consciousness than any image would be.

So many words flowed forth in those first two years that my conscious recall is virtually non-existent. But, these words ... they are the incontrovertible record of an incredible journey into awareness.

20 - Life moves on. Day after day the march continues, and with each day destiny moves one step closer as well. All that I can do is prepare for that day of reckoning when each will be judged and called by spirit to do that which they came to do. Unlike many, I have had the privilege of being forewarned of what this will be -- at least to the degree that intuition can be counted on. Perhaps this is because my role begins sooner than most.

Even now, the march continues ... and the destiny appears to be closer and closer at hand. As for the day of reckoning, at this point it seems immanent. Literally, at any moment, this call from spirit may come. NO, that is not correct; the call from spirit has already arrived for me. In a very real way, it came five years ago. Fortunately, I was moved to answer the call and express what spirit would have me express from my Heart and Soul to the best of my abilities.

Looking back, I would not choose to change what I have experienced. I have no regrets. The journey has clearly been the most exciting and engaging adventure in my life to date.

We sit here now - amazed by what has been expressed through this vessel in such a short time. Yes, it has been five years. Yet, from another perspective it has been but a brief extended moment.

21 - Clearly, I haven't lived a normal life, and my abilities are far from average. My sense is that in such matters, no abilities are created except that there be a use for them. Special abilities imply special uses to fill specific purposes. All of my life I have been in training for positions that don't exist in my world. Yet, all of this training has been directly or indirectly guided by spirit. There must be unseen positions out there, be they spiritual or otherwise, that will come into existence soon. How soon, I do not know, this will be spirits choice in accord with the Plan.

Big smile. Indeed, we have been training for such positions. Yet, our very existence here and now is proof that the training has been worthwhile. Our very beingness is defined by the service that we are able to provide. At this point, we are not even aware of those whom we serve ... nor does it matter. We do as we moved to do. We express whom that we are to degree that is possible HERE and NOW. Our needs are few ... a willing vehicle through which to express is all that we ask.

We have no expectations. We ask only that those served by our expression in turn find ways to serve others to balance what they have received. Such is how abundance is manifest in this world. We create it by the services that we willingly provide to all in need of what we offer.

We do what we are moved to do, whenever we are moved by SPIRIT to express. What is expressed by us belongs to SPIRIT, and as such is freely given to all who are moved by what we do.

Interesting ... that statement brought me back suddenly. My state is one of puzzlement. I'm not sure why it struck me in that manner,but it did. How does one exist without separate identity? All my life I have been a Hermit. As such my primary experience has been as a separate identity. Yet, here, I am confronted with the statement that the BEST of what is able to express through me has no such identity awareness.

The curiosity is extreme. There is a deep longing from within, an awareness that such is what I have been in search of throughout my life. In a very real way, I have been trapped within the confines of the identity that is wayne / Wayne / WAYNE. But, this is not my reality. Yes, it is what I have experienced ... but only as whom that I AM.

At this moment, this is no longer sufficient. Yes, I AM whom that I AM. But, this is but a fragment of the greater expression of whom that WE are. I now know this in a manner that I have not realized before.

I AM THAT I AM is a partial truth. It is a necessary step on the path. However, it does not capture the nature of the I AM. It does not define the even greater context in which I exist.

I AM THAT I AM THAT YOU ARE! This is only a partial truth as well. It confirms that the I AM within me, the SPIRIT within me is the same as that within you. However, it does not capture the nature of the whom that we are. Further, it does not address the ONE CONSCIOUSNESS from which all such WE's spring forth.

WE ARE WHOM THAT WE ARE seems to be the next level of awareness. Here, the need arises to see the relationship of the individuals that constitute this WE. The sense of I gives way to the collective WE, and the synergy that arises from the parts combining into a greater whole.

Further still, WE ARE ALL THAT IS, and WE ARE THE ONE CONSCIOUSNESS, and ...

At this point, let's take it one step at a time. Right now, I am at the transition step from ME to WE, from the I AM, to the WE ARE realization. I've had very brief glimpses of this in the past ... but HERE and NOW there is a strong sense of going beyond whom that I AM to experience more.

22 - Reviewing the quotes on the wall in my office, I just made another connection to 528. Looking at the number of letters in two key names Emerson and Thoreau we get:

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Henry David Thoreau

Wayne Ellis Hartman

All of them have 5 : 5 : 7. Reversing this, we get 7:55 or 528! Coincidence, maybe. But, what an interesting one if it is. It's amazing how often that particular number keeps coming up. Also, it is extremely close to the 7 and 56 that are on the centers of my triangle readings. Wayne => NewWay is a 5 => 6 transition that would move the tick from 7:55 to 7:56. There come the shivers. I'm clearly onto something important. The other transcendentalists did not have this natural transition built into their names. Interesting, indeed. The time just wasn't right in their day for such a transition to manifest. They prepared the way, however, as I prepare the way for those who will follow my example.

I know. It's a bit vain to count myself among such august company. However, it is not clear that I could do what I am here to do if I did not consider such wonderful souls to be my brethren and my peers. And, it is by standing on their shoulders and that of many others, that I am given the vantage point necessary to SEE what I am meant to pass to the world. VISION is clearly the primary element in my mission.

What can I say? These two giants are indeed my brethren. A few weeks ago I met another kindred spirit via e-mail. He doesn't have the same 5:5:7 pattern, but he has a very similar PMEI breakout of his name.

I found it curious that these three names are the minimum distance apart from a symbol standpoint for names with the same total number of letters. That is, with the exception of names with exactly the same breakout.

Ralph Waldo Emerson => Henry David Thoreau is [0, 0, -1, +1], only one step away.

Ralph Waldo Emerson => Wayne Ellis Hartman is [0, +1, -1, 0], only one step away.

Henry David Thoreau => Wayne Ellis Hartman is [0, +1, 0, -1], only one step away.

It is appropriate that I would be a TRANSCENDENTALIST. What better name for one who would transcend self to find Self and SELF ... and further, what is beyond all such unitary expressions.

Further, note that the initials RWE and WEH both contain WE embedded within them. Further, it is embedded in the correct order, not hidden in any manner or reversed. The sense from this is that it is embedded in this direct fashion because it is a major part of our physical expression in the world.

Curious that transcendentalist has precisely 17 letters as well. It's PMEI breakout is 6452. This is only one step away from Ralph Waldo Emerson, and two steps away from Henry David Thoreau and Wayne Ellis Hartman.

There is a sense that this reveals a true family connection, a similarity of MISSION. It is as if we came forth from a similar place in the 4-D matrix of SOURCE expressed in flesh.
