MORE OF LION'S FAVORITES
Selected February 1998
Eventually I'm going to reach someone who appreciates what I have to say and is in a position to carry the ball and run with it. Somehow, my role seems to best be played out behind the scenes in an advisory capacity. The ideas speak for themselves. It matters not from whom they were uttered. And, as the saying goes "nothing can stop an idea whose time has come".
Life offers the experiences that reflect how spirit is expressed in flesh. It is still not clear what role I am to play in relationship to others. To date, no specific connections have arisen that seem deep and lasting. However, each week I am indeed reaching more people, if only one or two at a time. What keeps me going is a knowingness that it just takes one, the right one, and that will happen when the time is right. The bottom line is that I TRUST consciousness. No matter how things seem, there is a Plan at work, and circumstances will work out in a manner that conforms to the Plan. My only responsibility is to do what I am moved to do, and to do it to the best of my ability. Indeed, no more could be asked of anyone.
One might ask, why do I trust consciousness? The answer I would offer is because doing so is empowering. I know this from direct experience. Also, it allows life to be lived with a sense of magic as well as majesty. There is a Purpose to creation, to life. And, we as individuals have specific purposes within that larger Purpose. We are indeed spirit expressed in flesh, forever learning how to embody more of whom that we truly are. This is the Great Work. All else pales in comparison. For me, words -- in particular the written word -- are my medium of expression. Pictures and graphics are nice, but they operate in a realm that is foreign to me.
The "mysteries of the universe" are the mysteries of SPIRIT EXPRESSING IN FLESH. There is ONE CONSCIOUSNESS expressing through us all. That we are many, is the illusion that we experiences. But the walls and barriers that separate us are of our own making. It is for us to tear them down when we are ready to fully experience the I AM that we are.
What we see unfolding is a miraculous expression. Each of us has a part to play in that expression ... this is our dharma, the work that we chose to come here to do. For many who reach here, we chose some of the more interesting roles ... for we are to be the leaders and the wayshowers to a new way of being.
One step at a time. With each new step new vistas arise, and I definitely like what I am seeing. 22:The Fool Complete always has room for one more step. It's just a matter of trusting consciousness to guide me as she has done throughout my life. I am moved to communicate in a way that I have not been for some time. It's as if I am compelled to get my ideas out into the world where they can affect positive change. We're talking about revolution here, change on a massive scale that challenges the very foundations of the present ways of being on a number of fronts. Yet, the time appears to be ripe. I'm starting to see that there are others who know this as well, though their expression may be quite different.
Who am I to be so audacious to think that I know what needs to be done? Simply, one who came specifically to guide us through these particular times toward a New Way of expression suited for the Age of Aquarius. This is my purpose and mission. It is as important to me as the air that I breath. I must do what I came to do. No other alternative is acceptable. Period.
Last year was one of the most interesting of my life. My workplace became a spiritual laboratory of sorts ... a place where I was challenged daily to walk my talk, and do as spirit moved me to do. Overall, this was by far the greatest year of my life to date. It was a year that challenged all that I was ... a year that enabled me to demonstrate whom that I truly am in a public way that I had not been able to do before. In the process, I found out much about whom that I truly am ... and even more important much about the very nature of the I AM.
The year found me at my most productive ... operating at peak performance for many months straight. Surprisingly, the more I took on ... the more responsibility I accepted, the more I was moved to do ... and the more I found within my Self to answer the challenges that confronted me. But, in many ways, it was not me that answered the challenges and came through with the insight, energy, focus, and initiative necessary to do what needed to be done. It was SPIRIT, the ONE that worked through me as SHE always does!
I come to be gently caressed by consciousness. Yes, I sing her name a lot. She is on my mind incessantly. It is through her that I came to life, and through her that I will live the role that I am meant to live. What is she? I cannot say. But, she is older than time and wiser than any who have walked clothed in flesh. She speaks through us all. Yeah, she is the spirit within us all -- always there to guide us if only we had the sense to listen to her. She is the ONE, though she be expressed as many. She is called by many names, though most are not aware of her existence. She is greater than the Gods, though in ways that are beyond imagining. The poets have known her as the muse, and she was indeed responsible for their inspiration. She has existed since the beginning of time, and even before that. Her face can be found everywhere throughout the world, yet where there is beauty, doth she shine most brightly.
lion: God as SPIRIT speaks through all of us at all times. However, we are free to choose the "box" that limits this expression through us in flesh.
lion: Do not all ideas come from the ONE MIND, the ONE consciousness? I have no experience of my mind spawning anything. It receives and observes ... but I am not aware of it ever creating of its own.
lion: Is not the purpose of life to BE what we are, rather than to "learn what we are". Though it is through increased awareness that we become whom that we truly are, a part of the ONE CONSCIOUSNESS.
lion: We create our own reality/illusion. As a metaphysician, I can speak of reality creation and how we experience reality ... but this is not the true REALITY, only our experience of it.
lion: Spirit speaks through me in exactly the same way. It comes through as authoritative statements. It does not pause to clarify each line with this is an assumption. If it is indeed true, you will know in your heart ... that is the place to find verification -- in your direct connection to source, to the ONE.
lion: I AM THAT I AM ... There in NOTHING except the ONE CONSCIOUSNESS, GOD. Is this not truth? When my mouth and vocal chords say "I am Wayne" do they not speak the truth, even though it does not apply to them alone?
lion: Why should GOD care what you believe? What is important is what you know ... and more than that what you are aware of yourself to be, and WHAT YOU DO to express that awareness.
We CHOOSE what we feel. When we choose to feel differently enough to TAKE ACTION we will be surprised by how much energy we really have, and more importantly how much energy the Universe or SPIRIT kick in as a result of our taking action. It is not enough to think about something. We must decide to act, and more importantly ... follow up and TAKE ACTION.
We are an expression of SPIRIT, of the ONE ... loneliness has no place in our true reality. The universe, or SPIRIT hears our cries clearly ... but it waits for us to choose which cries we are serious about by seeing our ACTIONS. These are what get magnified by spiritual law.
I cannot stay away for long. My soul must express, even if no one is there to listen save consciousness herself. Interesting that this would be so. I spent over 35 years in silence for the most part. Now I speak out, at least onto these pages, and there is no one there to listen. At least, so far as I am aware. And yet, I am moved to continue to write, regardless. Spirit must be expressed in flesh. There is no other alternative for the coming times. And, with Mercury at the top of my chart, writing is my favored mode of expression. It always has been. However, it's only in the past two years that the personal writings have flowered. How do I get others to see the blooms? Even more importantly, is this what I truly want? The immediate answer is yes, but, there is a gnawing hesitency as well. Can the blooms be seen through the weeds? Must I be the gardener who separates the two? Lots of questions. No clear answers. I am to write what I am moved to write. Thus far this has been stream of consciousness writing. I haven't felt the need nor the responsibility to edit it or clean it up in any way. Yet, is that not part of a writer's job as well? The first answer is, not when you are serving as a channel for consciousness. The organization comes automatically, or, at least, such has always been the case for me. I feel no need to change this mode of operation now. Besides, when I review my works, I like what I have written. It moves me, and I feel that it would move others as well. Ego rearing her head again. Perhaps, but all I ask is that you judge me by my works. Are they interesting, informative, educational? Do they stir your soul? Do they challenge what you believe or know to be true? If so, I have done my part well.
lion: Hmm ... a monologue again. Why is it that I am moved to express in this way? This is a chat room after all. It seems like dialogue or conversation would be more appropriate.
lion: Yet, such is not for me to decide. I can only choose to express what spirit would move to express through me. YES, that is my only choice ... and when there is only ONE choice, in reality there is NO CHOICE. Such is my experience of reality. I observe myself doing things and taking action without conscious awareness of why or in many cases how. I experience what I experience. I do not consciously control or create this experience. It just happens and I am left to assign meaning to it.
lion: Thus far, all of my experience, and all that I have observed to date conforms to this understanding. This is the way that I experience reality, period. Why such is the case is not important. It just is. Metaphysics must match experience if it is to be truly lived. It must be practical. One must be able to trust it and to ACT based on that trust.
lion: If you are moved by this, find the courage to introduce yourself to another aspect of the I AM that we are. Yes, I still experience an individual existence, but I KNOW this to be the ILLUSION, not the reality. I will experience it only so long as I must, so long as it serves my evolution in awareness ... so long as it serves SPIRIT to express through me in this manner.
lion: After that, I will be whatever I am ready to be ... and will express what SPIRIT would have whatever I have become express for her. This is all that matters, the full expression of spirit in flesh, to whatever degree is possible HERE and NOW.
lion: My medium is words ... NOT the sweet words of the poet, but the words of consciousness herself, immediate, often impersonal, but what else would one expect to be expressed from one who is primarily a hermit.
This month I made an information breakthrough. It happened just over two weeks ago when I realized that I could organize all of the information that I use at work in a manner that matches how the information is organized in my head. All it took was to use the technology that I use here in these pages in a manner that allowed me to apply it to all of the documents that I access, use, and create at work. Within a two day period, I was able to literally create a web of information that put everything at my fingertips, literally a mouse click away, regardless of kind of file that it was.
It is strange to be at the leading edge of this transformation. I am now the master of information in my life rather than its slave. Information overload is no longer even a remote possibility in my life because I am empowered by tools that enable me to effectively deal with it regardless of how much there is or how often it changes. This has completely changed all the interfaces that I have with others at work and has freed me to work in a manner that I would not have believed was possible as little as three weeks ago. It takes a lot to get me THIS EXCITED. But, the discoveries I have made and have implemented are indeed that powerful and that important.
Given that we are truly in the midst of an INFORMATION AGE, this breakthrough truly has the potential to empower many people in ways that make all the difference in the world. I look forward to see what will manifest from the seed that has no sprouted. I already know that it will grow into a TREE of KNOWLEDGE far grander than anyone has dreamed possible. I anxiously await seeing just how this will unfold and what magic and miracles will be unleashed to tranform the present world into the one that we choose to create!

COOPERATIVE INTERDEPENDENCE This 4th day of the 7th month in the year 1998. [Yes, exactly one year from now]
We, the people of the new world order, hold these truths to be self evident:
We freely choose to declare our cooperative interdependence
...
Always we act in peace and harmony, and as true brethren. Yet, we will do what it takes to ensure that our collective goodwill is manifest. NAMASTE So Let it Be Written, So Let it Be Done!!! |
